Abstract

Health myths are one of the factors that can hinder the achievement of government programs in the health sector. The resistance that arises from the community can be even greater if the believed myths have taken root in social life and are  considered to have magical elements in their implementation. To change the errors in people’s health beliefs in society,  health workers are important in providing proper health education and health literacy to all levels of society. Based on the  problems found, the team’s goal was to improve nursing students’ knowledge about health myths in Indonesia. This activity was implemented for 199 nursing students from 7 provinces (DKI Jakarta, West Java, Banten, Jambi, East Java, Central Java, and Southeast Sulawesi) online through Zoom meetings. This activity was the final series of activities conducted by the Institute of Training, Education and Research, Nurse Share Idea (NSID) about health myths that exist in Indonesia, while the implementation of this series of activities was done from November 2020 to August 2021. The results of the Wilcoxon testing of the activities had the value of sig = 0.002 (<0.005), which means that the activities have had a significant and positive impact on improving nursing students’ knowledge about health myths in Indonesia. Four of the 14 topics of understanding  health myths were decreased. These four topics are related to myths in nursing care. The results indicated that activities could increase participants’ knowledge of health myths. However, nurses still experience confusion preventing myths in implementing nursing care for patients. Other activities can focus on increasing efforts to counteract myths in implementing nursing care.

Abstract

Canteens are an important aspect of the food environment in providing healthy food and supporting good nutrition. The food service quality of the canteens could be improved by customer satisfaction and the food traffic light system survey. This aimed to measure customer satisfaction and the food traffic light system implemented in the canteen via surveys and identify the impact of menu development training as well as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) training for canteen staff. The customer satisfaction and the food traffic light system survey were collected using an online form involving 1,022 and 49 respondents, respectively. The training was attended by 31 canteen staff. In addition to menu development training, we also conducted HACCP training. Menu development training included menu variation, creating new recipes, and a food traffic light system. A descriptive post-evaluation was conducted to evaluate the impact of the training. A 6-question survey assessed how well the canteen staff retained knowledge from the provided food safety training. The customer satisfaction survey obtained the mean score for each indicator: 3.48 for canteen hospitality, 3.43 for canteen cleanliness, 3.32 for food taste, 3.22 for menu variation, and 3.14 for food prices. The training was useful to increase food service and board quality and the canteen staff ’s healthy food knowledge. More than half of the customers sometimes checked the food traffic light label. They mostly considered energy the main important nutrition to consider before buying food. The results of HACCP training showed that all participants correctly answered more than half of the questions. The responses of surveyed staff members suggest that the training was useful in increasing food service quality as well as food safety knowledge and practices of canteen staff. The sustainability of training impacts should be evaluated to gain comprehensive evaluation and identify further interventions to improve the food quality of canteens. As a health-promoting university, a food traffic light system should be implemented in canteens at other faculties at Universitas Gadjah Mada.

Abstract

Pondok Pesantren or Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS), as one of the major boarding-based education systems in Indonesia, face significant challenges in preventing and controlling infectious disease transmission. Huge numbers of students, crowded dormitories, shared lavatories, limited healthcare facilities, and intense social interactions increase the risk of transmitting infectious diseases within the facilities. This study aimed to provide an initial assessment of the history of infectious diseases and the spread of infectious diseases among students living in IBS before conducting training and intervention related to infectious diseases prevention and control programs. This quantitative study was conducted using a descriptive analysis approach in July-August 2022 at Assalafiyyah Mlangi II Terpadu IBS. A non-probability sampling with total sampling of 841 students was used. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires developed on Google Form and imported to Microsoft Excel for further data analysis. The results indicate that the majority of the students have a history of infectious diseases (90.48%) during their time living in IBS. The most common infectious diseases found were influenza (55.38%), scabies (20.20%), conjunctivitis (8.13%), varicella (4.54%), herpes simplex (2.08%), tuberculosis (0.65%), and measles (0.13%). During the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 21.16% of the students had been exposed to COVID-19. Considering these findings, it is essential for the staff and students living in IBS to understand the steps to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and be able to identify and provide initial treatment to stop the transmission of the disease. The development of digital health intervention using a website or application can be implemented to help the students report and consult case findings to medical experts.

Abstract

Indonesia has implemented the National Health Insurance (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional/JKN) program administered by the Health Care and Social Security Agency (BPJS Kesehatan) to improve the quality of community health and well-being. National Health Insurance implementation has had many challenges in eight years, such as complicated registration, premiums, unsatisfactory services, and lack of community participation. Policies regarding JKN should be better known and understood. This study aimed to know the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards health insurance that will be useful for stakeholders to develop public policies. This study was conducted in Umbulsari B sub-village in Sumberharjo, Prambanan, Yogyakarta, the lowest area of JKN participation based on Sleman HDSS data. We used a cross-sectional study design among 91 respondents who filled out a paper sheet questionnaire that consisted of five sections: demographic characteristics and insurance participation, knowledge, attitudes, actions, and satisfaction with the JKN program; the community service activities; coordination with local stakeholders; JKN participation identification using CHIKA; and educational media production and publication. Local stakeholders said that awareness about JKN is low. The Chat Assistant JKN (CHIKA) data identification from 529 IDs showed that 78.1% had become JKN participants, and 73.3% were “active”. The respondents correctly answered most of each knowledge point (score >90%). However, there were several aspects that respondents disagreed with: “every participant will get the same health services (19.78%) in attitude points, and health workers in health facilities do not discriminate (21.21%) in satisfaction points. Additionally, 21.21% of respondents rarely use health services routinely for medical check-ups. We developed educational media about the importance of JKN, as well as using CHIKA and Pandawa tutorials. Education about health insurance needs to be done continuously according to the local cultural context and innovations so that the community remains protected from the financial burden of accessing health services.

Abstract

Risk factor for child stunting in Indonesia is lower maternal education and inadequate complementary food for children aged 6-23 months. Posyandu cadres play an important role in empowering mothers through education and counseling mothers about the good practice of feeding infants and children. However, a preliminary survey shows that most mothers do not receive education and counseling from cadres in posyandu. Several factors behind that are low self-efficacy among cadres to carry out education or counseling, cadres feeling confused with educational content, and cadres feeling that many mothers are busy workers. The evaluation aims to assess the effectiveness of Emotional Demonstration for cadres in Bantul Regency using Easy Evaluation. Data were collected from 126 cadres who participated in the Emotional Demonstration program. Data collection was carried out by participatory observation, interview, and feedback form. An Easy Evaluation assessment was determined for each criterion, among others 1) Practice the roleplay according to the order of the emotional demonstration programs is Very Good 2) Apply communication skills according to the PAMM technique (Pertanyaan Terbuka; Afirmasi dan Apresiasi; Mendengarkan dan Merefleksikan; dan Menyimpulkan) is Good 3) Deliver key message is Very Good 4) Applying effective time management is Good. An assessment determined Excellent for the generic rubric of the Emotional Demonstration Program. The Emotional Demonstration program is feasible to be continued and applied to all cadres in Bantul. However, the implementation of Emotional Demonstration needs to emphasize communication skills. The results of the program evaluation will help guide public health policies to support the effectiveness of the stunting prevention program in Bantul Regency.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 information-related sources and people’s knowledge, attitude, and behavior concerning vaccine acceptance, hesitancy, and refusal in a single vaccination site in Jambi, Indonesia. We conducted a cross-sectional study with total sampling in Puskesmas Putri Ayu, Jambi. The inclusion criteria were adults (>18 years) vaccinated with CoronaVac. Our exclusion criteria were refusal to participate in the study for any reason, contraindicated to COVID-19 vaccine administration, and receiving the second vaccine jab. We included 245 respondents with a slight female predominance (53.5%). The majority were in the age group of 26-35 years old (20.8%). In the multivariate analysis, having a family member with ≥2 comorbidities was almost 6 times more likely (OR 5.99, 95%CI: 1.84-19.54;p-value = 0.003) to put a respondent in the vaccine hesitance and refusal group. Respondents who trust in friends or family are 2.25 times more likely (95%CI: 1-5.04; p-value = 0.048) to be in the vaccine hesitance and refusal group. Respondents who trust the internet are 0.45 times more likely to be in the vaccine hesitance and refusal group (95%CI: 0.21-0.96; p-value = 0.04). Lastly, respondents with poor knowledge are 0.58 times more likely (95%CI 0.38-0.88; p-value = 0.011) to belong to the vaccine hesitance and refusal group. This finding will be relevant to increasing vaccination uptake by targeting family members with comorbidities and devising a strategy to make their peers trust the COVID-19 vaccine to increase the uptake.

Abstract

The Islamic Health Promoting University (I-HELP U) is an initiative program by Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. DR. HAMKA as a health promotion program integrating both health and Islamic values. The pilot programs were implemented between September – November 2021. This study aimed to evaluate I-HELP U’s pilot programs, which consist of need assessment, health literacy, advocacy, and healthy behavior practices. The needs assessment was conducted to assess the baseline data of nutritional status and unhealthy lifestyles. Health literacy was performed to improve nutrition knowledge among participants. Advocacy was implemented to assist the production of regulation documents to support the program. Healthy behavior practices were implemented to improve the health-promoting behavior among participants. The results show that there were improvements in targeted outcomes on the initiative (policy documents establishment), participation (1,904 respondents of needs assessment, 300 participants in webinars, and 1,700 YouTube views), and knowledge level (p<0.05). The university leaders show a strong commitment in the policy-making to support I-HELP U since UHAMKA holds a vision to be a prophetic teaching university. This basic value supports the effort of I-HELP U to institutionalize the programs since it integrates Islamic values in the content. Future dissemination of the programs and regulations should be provided massively to all university academic communities.

Abstract

Garbage is a major problem in urban areas. One of the efforts that can be made against the waste problem is reprocessing it into useful materials. The Family Welfare Development Group (PKK) is a community action coaching group that demonstrates ways that people can turn waste into media material for educational games for PAUD students through self-help groups. This community service project and research aimed to empower and assist PKK activist groups in optimizing waste as an educational game tool for young children. The mixed-methods research followed quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative data were in the form of demographic data, knowledge, and skills. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were collected from structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with a grid of questions about waste, the efforts that have been made, and the benefits of recycling the waste as an educational game tool. The measuring tool used was a questionnaire about waste knowledge and a waste processing checklist sheet. The research was conducted in June-August 2019 among 25 PKK groups at RW 02 of Merjosari subdistrict, Lowokwaru district, Malang City, because this location clearly shows a waste problem, and the community can manage it with facilities that can be readily utilized. ThisGempa Perekatactivity consisted of health education, FGDs, and forming self-help groups. The results of this activity indicated that the respondents’ knowledge increased after receiving health education about waste management (0.000). The results showed an average value of 73 with description skills in processing waste into a good educational game tool. Respondents stated that waste was previously disposed of in plastic bags or burned. Furthermore, they hoped that there would be waste management approaches that could be useful for PAUD students by processing waste into educational games. This activity concluded that the Gempa Perekatprogram is a feasible form of intervention in dealing with garbage in the city by empowering the PKK as a self-help group in making educational game tools for PAUD students from waste.

Abstract

The determinants of stunting are complex and multisectoral. It is essential and challenging to increase stakeholders’ engagement of the relevant multisector partners in stunting prevention and control. This article aimed to describe the stakeholders’ engagement process in the stunting prevention and control programs in Lombok Barat, Indonesia. This descriptive study was conducted with multisector stakeholders as the study population in Lombok Barat District, Indonesia from August – Desember 2022. Data were collected through observations and documents. Data analysis was done descriptively. This study showed that stakeholders’ engagement is a continuous activity to raise their awareness concerning the stunting issues and encourage them to be actively involved in the programs. Needs assessment and internal planning development, lobbying and advocacy, raising leader commitment, development planning and strategies, and capacity building were accomplished in this study to engage related stakeholders in the stunting interventions in Lombok Barat. The stakeholders who should be involved in the programs are not limited to the stakeholders from the health sector, but must include inter-sectoral stakeholders due to the complexity of the stunting determinants. Moreover, it is necessary to develop key messages to increase the stakeholders’ engagement according to their own needs. Additionally, leadership, leaders’ awareness of health issues as well as their commitment were identified as the main social capital for community action in the stunting prevention and control efforts.
