Abstract

Parents of children with Down syndrome face ongoing challenges in accessing relevant and trustworthy health information. With the increasing use of digital platforms, understanding parents’ needs and preferences is crucial for developing effective and inclusive digital health services. This study aims to map the digital health information needs of parents of children with Down syndrome, identify preferred information sources and digital platforms, and explore expectations regarding features of digital health applications. Methods use A descriptive quantitative study was conducted using a structured questionnaire distributed to parents of children with Down syndrome in Indonesia. Data were analyzed to assess patterns of digital information usage, platform preferences, and specific content and feature expectations. The results findings indicate that 83.6% of parents frequently seek digital health information, with WhatsApp groups (81.8%) and community networks like POTADS (80.0%) being the most accessed sources. Parents expressed a strong preference for digital tools that are free, user-friendly, and available in the local language. The most desired features in a health application include home-based therapy guidance (94.5%), educational videos (87.3%), parent forums (72.7%), and online consultation with healthcare professionals (67.3%). There is a high demand among parents for digital health platforms that offer accessible, relevant, and interactive content tailored to the needs of children with Down syndrome. Designing effective digital services requires collaboration across sectors and the integration of digital health literacy initiatives into existing family support systems to ensure equitable access and improved care outcomes.

Abstract

Dampak dari penurunan fungsi kognitif dan sensori pada lanjut usia dapat mencakup berbagai aspek, baik secara fisik, mental, maupun sosial. Secara kognitif, berdampak pada penurunan kemampuan berpikir, mengingat, dan memecahkan masalah sehingga menyebabkan gangguan dalam menjalani kehidupan sehari-hari. Penurunan fungsi sensori meliputi penurunan kemampuan pendengaran, penglihatan, dan persepsi sehingga menyebabkan penurunan kemampuan lansia untuk berinteraksi dengan lingkungan sekitar, dan menghambat komunikasi. Salah satu cara untuk mengelola situasi ini dengan menerapkan terapi aktivitas kelompok yang dilakukan oleh perawat kepada lansia dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan daya ingat, kesehatan mental dan kemampuan bersosialisasi. Peserta kegiatan ini adalah lansia yang berjumlah 20 orang. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah ceramah, demonstrasi melalui kegiatan bernyanyi dan diskusi melalui cerita masa lalu. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan para lansia terlibat secara aktif dan antusias dalam kegiatan ini serta dapat menyanyikan beberapa lagu kenangan masa lalu serta menceritakan pengalaman masa lalu yang menyenangkan. Beberapa lansia mengatakan terhibur dengan kegiatan ini dan senang bisa bernyanyi bersama-sama. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa jika kegiatan bernyanyi dan mendengarkan musik dilakukan secara rutin diharapkan dapat menstimulus fungsi kognitif, sensori dan menambah rasa percaya diri lansia dalam berinteraksi satu sama lainnya.

Abstract

Workplace accidents pose a serious risk, especially in rural areas where formal occupational safety training is limited or nonexistent. This study investigates the effectiveness of the demonstration method in improving community knowledge and preparedness in handling work related injuries in Parit Keladi I Village. Using a qualitative participatory action research design, the study involved seven informants selected purposively, including farmers, community leaders, and health workers. Data collection methods included in depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Prior to the intervention, most participants relied on traditional or instinctive methods to treat injuries, often resulting in improper or delayed care. The introduction of demonstration based training significantly improved their understanding of proper first aid techniques, including wound cleaning, bandaging, and the use of antiseptics. Participants reported increased confidence and readiness to respond to accidents. The training was well received, with strong community engagement and support from local leadership, highlighting the potential for sustainability. The study concludes that the demonstration method is an effective, culturally sensitive approach to safety education in rural settings. It bridges the gap between knowledge and practice and fosters a proactive attitude toward accident prevention. Future efforts should include regular refresher sessions and leadership empowerment to strengthen the culture of safety within the community.
