Abstract

The care and protection of children are vital because children are the future of the country. Their health links to the development of adult human capital and the national economy. Informal maternal education is the major driver of child health but has never been formalized. This paper investigates the effects of maternal health knowledge on child health using a survey of 200 households in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The theory of household production has been applied to create a child health model. Anthropometric indicators of weight-for-age and height-for-age are set as the proxies for child health. The models are regressed separately for the weight-for-age and height-for-age Z-scores of children under five. The research results showed that the number of years of maternal schooling does have a positive impact on child anthropometric outcomes but its effects are crowded out by maternal health gained from the mother’s access to health information through pubic media and genetic inheritance, but these are inferior to environmental factors such as housing, sanitation, and health knowledge. The findings confirm that Vietnam can improve the status of child care and protection can be improved even under the constraints of limited access to maternal formal education).

Abstract

In a health crisis, social media is one of the primary means of disseminating and receiving information. Nevertheless, questions remain regarding what facilitates individual engagement in sharing or receiving information in the context of COVID-19, specifically for the Indonesian context. Analysis of a questionnaire survey among 255 from the random population of Indonesian showed that sharing information is predicted by gender and education. There was no significant relationship between social-demographic and receiving information. For psychosocial characteristics, personal risk perception predicted receiving information, while sharing information was predicted by societal risk perception. Societal risk perception and self-efficacy interacted with each other to predict the sharing of COVID-19-related information. One of the findings indicated a socio-cultural feature through which is considered to play an important role in personal and societal risk perception when sharing or expressing information. Given the benefits of social media communication during this pandemic, this study suggested that governments and policymakers should pay closer attention to a local community that is more effective in keeping everyone safe. Unfortunately, on another side, social media provides less information about narratives, storytelling, and empathy to maintain public trust.

Abstract

The growth rate of green tourism/ecotourism in the province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia decreased drastically because of the government's program in the community activity restriction program to reduce the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to analyze public perceptions of ecotourism conditions during the pandemic by implementing health protocols and maintaining environmental sustainability. The research employed descriptive and quantitative analysis. The research subject was 222 beach ecotourism tourists in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia during the pandemic period for a period of seven months (February-August 2021). They were recruited through incidental random sampling method. The analytical tools in testing the research instrument were convergent validity test with mean loading factors and square roots average variable extract, discriminant validity test with average variable extract (AVE), and reliability test with Cronbah's alpha and composite reliability (CR), structural equation modeling analysis (SEM) with Warp partial least square (PLS) 7.0. The results showed that ecotourism concern, ecotourism practices, were not significant on tourist satisfaction. Green promotion had an effect on ecotourism tourist satisfaction, and health protocols strengthened tourist satisfaction on tourists' interest in returning to ecotourism.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic raises several public health concerns that impact various aspects of people's lives. The severity and spread of infection are extremely rapid, spreading out of control globally. Aside from illness and death, it presents a slew of long-term health concerns among the population. Therefore, the pandemic has manifested into a major health security issue, impacting the population globally. Health securitization refers to recognizing the presence of an existential health threat, and authorities can devote resources to manage the risks. Although vaccinations are required for long-term management of this disease, the vaccination procedure is often plagued by access, efficacy, and vaccine prioritization issues. By employing an interpretative social science approach, the article argues that the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be securitized at the state and international levels, and vaccines as public-good should be accessible to everyone without discrimination or prioritization and diplomatic interests. The study found, firstly, that many countries have adopted health securitization and coordinated efforts by international agencies. Secondly, vaccine hoarding by richer countries has created a disparity in the rate and coverage of vaccination in other regions. Thirdly, vaccine donation by richer countries is only a temporary solution. A robust vaccine allocation mechanism is needed for more comprehensive and equitable vaccination coverage.

Abstract

Choking is a pediatric emergency that threatens life. Choking occurs in 80% of under three-year-old children worldwide. Many children do not receive help since the aid provider fears causing harm due to the absence of choking case knowledge. Improving parent’s knowledge can decrease choking risk in children that threatens life. This scoping review aimed to identify education provision regarding foreign body aspiration on children. This study was a scoping review with choking handling articles to identify education provisions regarding choking handling on children. Article search was carried out using internet databases, i.e., PubMed, Proquest, and Sciencedirect. The selection was performed using a PRISMA flow diagram. The search results obtained 1,081 literatures, title-screening excluded 948 articles and obtaining 98 articles to be tested for eligibility. The 91 articles with unrelated objectives were excluded. Seven remaining articles following the inclusion criteria were identified. Providing education for parents about choking prevention and handling on children is an essential component of the public health approach as video-based e-learning program, direct learning, installation of hazard warning of choking. Educational programs will be effective when utilizing various information sources and assigning additional healthcare providers tasks to educate parents and the community.

Abstract

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is a great issue to concern in healthcare services because it accounts for prolonged hospital stay and may lead to morbidity or mortality. Proper hand hygiene behavior in the healthcare environment is indispensable in minimizing the risk of HAIs. This study aimed to identify the impact of hand hygiene education on healthcare workers' (HCWs) compliance, knowledge, and perception of hand hygiene at Atma Jaya Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. The compliance of hand hygiene was evaluated using the World Health Organization’s (WHO) five moments for hand hygiene as the reference. Data on hand hygiene knowledge and perception were collected using a translated version of the WHO’s hand hygiene knowledge questionnaire and hand hygiene perception questionnaire, respectively. Results showed a significant increase in compliance with hand hygiene after the online session’s intervention had been implemented, except hand hygiene compliance for the ‘after touching patient surroundings’ moment. There was also a significant increase in the HCWs' hand hygiene knowledge after the intervention. The HCWs' perceptions are also found to be positive even before the intervention. This study concludes that the HCWs' knowledge and compliance with hand hygiene at Atma Jaya Hospital increase significantly after an educational intervention had been conducted.
