Abstract

Background: Health cadres are one of the important elements in realizing health in society. In the North Lombok region, the change in the status of ordinary Posyandu to family Posyandu makes health care in the community more comprehensive for all family members. For this reason, efforts to increase the capacity of health cadres are important to improve health status in the family sphere. Objective: This study aims to see the effect of training on increasing the capacity of family cadres on the knowledge of family cadres in the North Lombok Regency area. Method: The sampling process is carried out using the cluster sampling method where each village representative in the Kayangan sub-district of North Lombok Regency sends a cadre representative to train to increase the capacity of Dasawisma cadres to become family cadres. A descriptive analysis of respondents' characteristics and differences in knowledge scores before and after family cadre training activities were conducted. The data analysis process was carried out with the Wilcoxon Test because the data distribution was abnormal. Result: Thirty-three health cadres meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the median value (maximum-minimum) of family cadres before training, shortly after training and six months after training was 66.67 (36.67-80), 66.67 (53.33-83.33) and 70 (53.33-96.67). From the Wilcoxon test, there was a statistically significant difference between the knowledge score before training and six months after training (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the knowledge score before training and shortly after training, as well as the knowledge score shortly after training and 6 months after training (p>0.05). Conclusion: Family cadre empowerment training can improve knowledge scores 6 months after training, but there is no significant difference in knowledge score improvement shortly after training as well as between knowledge scores shortly after training and 6 months after training.

Abstract

It is a general consensus that investing more in primary care will lead to better health outcomes overall, and therefore, primary care should be the focus of development for health services. A body of evidence that intervention in primary care is cost-effective and reduces health system burden and disparities (1–7). Making primary care the focus of health development is crucial for the sustainability of the health system, particularly amidst the changing demographic landscape and disease burden. Designing health service or needs to start at primary care at its heart. This is concurrent with WHO 2008 report on Primary Care (8): “… focus of reform that reorganizes health services as primary care, i.e., around people’s needs and expectations so as to make them more socially relevant and more responsive to chancing world while produced better outcomes –  service delivery reforms.”

Abstract

Ever since we heard about family medicine training, there have been lots of differences within the context of primary care compared to the specialization in the hospital’s settings. One of them is the ‘uncertainty.’ The uncertainty of health care started from the process of development of diagnosis because of the first contact nature of patients in primary care settings with possible signs and symptoms can lead to number of diseases1. A cough symptom can be uncomplicated influenza, a very sign of the start of an epidemic, or signs of a more contagious severe illness like Tuberculosis, or a non-infectious problem but can be life-threatening for the patient. We also still need to consider the ‘illnesses’ so that the patients can have their perceptions regarding the health problems and the treatment they should receive. At this point, two-way dialogue to overcome the uncertainty in handling health problems is the key to understanding patients’ perspectives. Only by understanding patients’ perspectives can family doctors work together with the patient to approach a more suitable treatment and health care planning.

Abstract

Background: WHO suggests that pulmonary TB is a global emergency for humans since 1993. Where the burden of TB disease in the community is still very high, it is estimated that there are still about 9.5 million new TB cases, and about 0.5 million deaths caused by TB worldwide. WHO Global Tuberculosis Report states that TB is still a major health issue even though TB is a preventable and treatable disease. WHO Global Tuberculosis Report argues that TB has existed from the first millennium to the millennium and is still a global health problem. Objectives: Monitoring and evaluation is one of the most vital management functions to assess the success rate of TB program implementation. The presence of regular and ongoing monitoring functions to detect problems early in the implementation of planned activities so that they can be fixed as soon as possible. This evaluation also assesses the extent to which the predetermined objectives and outcomes have been achieved at the end of the period. In conducting the assessment of success, indicators, and standards. Method: The method although initially rarely considered in qualitative research methodologies, is today an important and integral part of the qualitative research methodology. This is due to the growing awareness and new understanding in the researchers, that a lot of data is stored in the form of documents and artifacts. So that the excavation of data sources through document studies becomes complementary to the qualitative research process. Even Guba as quoted by Bungin states that the use and use of existing documents determines the credibility level of a qualitative research result. Result: The results showed that all health facilities in Puskesmas, hospitals, and UP3 had followed TB management with DOTS strategy. In general, implementing the five DOTS pillars at puskesmas was better than in hospitals and UP3, but supporting documents on DOTS pillar implementation in hospitals and UP3 were more complete.  Conclusion: The achievement of the DOTS program at the health service facility conducted by the research shows that the puskesmas is better than the hospital and UP3.

Abstract

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, recurrent skin inflammation accompanied by itching and occurring in specific areas of the body. AD is often associated with other atopic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. It can affect individuals of all ages but is most common in infants and children. AD that appears in adolescents and adults is also increasingly recognized. This case report aims to explore the role of family physicians in the holistic and comprehensive management of AD in adolescents through a family medicine approach to prevent relapses and reduce the severity of AD. Data were obtained through auto-anamnesis, physical examination, and home visits. LAK, a 21-year-old final-year student, reported a red rash on her upper right arm for the past month, which she found very bothersome. Internal factors aggravating her symptoms included her mother's allergic rhinitis, the patient never using skin moisturizers, and not cleaning her body immediately after sweating. External factors included having to walk to campus through busy, hot, and dusty roads and the stress from her final-year thesis. Diagnosis and management were carried out holistically through patient-centered, family-focused, and community-oriented. The family medicine approach emphasizes prevention, patient education, and long-term management to reduce the severity of AD. Through a family medicine approach, changes in behavior, particularly in prevention, will occur, allowing AD to be managed and preventing relapses

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a serious issue that can lead to various complications if not prevented and managed, starting from adolescence and young adulthood. Education on non-communicable diseases related to hypertension has been limited in schools, with little focus on community settings. This study aims to examine the impact of health education for adolescents and young adults on changes in knowledge and behavioral practices for the prevention and control of hypertension. Methods: This study employs a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest without a control group. Subjects were obtained through purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 32 respondents. Demographic characteristics and Kirkpatrick Level I evaluations were analyzed univariately. The comparison of knowledge scores before and after the intervention was analyzed bivariate, taking data normality into account. Results: After receiving health education for adolescents and young adults, there was a significant increase in knowledge scores regarding hypertension prevention and control before and after the intervention (p<0.001). The evaluation of the training program yielded very good scores, with the highest percentage from the facilitator evaluations. Conclusion: There was an increase in knowledge scores related to hypertension prevention and control among adolescents and young adults after receiving health education interventions from health professionals.
