Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many conventional -face-to-face health promotion events to be conducted in an adaptive manner to keep healthcare in promotion, prevention, and even curative measures delivered to healthcare providers and patients. The same applies to leprosy, where Indonesia is still ranked as the third largest country with leprosy burden. This study aims to give rise to newer methods of health promotion on leprosy during this COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Online training and case presentation workshop in the form of a KATAMATAKU webinar [MOU1] and live streaming via YouTube were held in August 2020. There were 120 general practitioners, 30 nurses, and 35 healthcare providers who registered and joined this event.[MOU2]  Pre- and post-test [MOU3] were conducted to evaluate the participants' knowledge about the topics lectured during this training[MOU4] . Pre- and post-test were conducted using an online form, and all participants needed to answer several questions from each session. Participants were evaluated before the webinar began and after all sessions. We assessed the different scores from the pre- and post-test. Results: In the general practitioner group, median scores were 68 (27 – 95) and 82 (50 – 100) for pre- and post-test scores, respectively, with a mean difference between post and pre-test of 14.23+9.72. In nurses and other health care providers, the median for the pre-test score was 56 (22-89), and the post-test was 72 (39 – 100), with a mean difference between the post and pre-test of 18.93+10.27. Conclusion: In the pandemic situation, online seminars can be chosen as an effective method for health promotion to increase health care provider's knowledge. Pre- and post-test can be performed to evaluate participant's knowledge after the training. Regular training using online methods can be held in order to maintain participants' knowledge. We hope it can impact all health providers to continue their participation in the management of leprosy.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients need to be empowered to manage their conditions. Some factors that affected the empowerment of diabetes mellitus patients were self-efficacy, health beliefs, and self-care. Self-efficacy positively correlates with health belief and self-care among patients with type 2 DM. However, such evidence is still limited in the Health Care Centers, especially in Yogyakarta. This research aimed to identify self-efficacy and the relationship between health belief and self-care among Type 2 DM patients. Methods: This is a correlative analytical of quantitative research using the cross-sectional approach. Purposive sampling was used to collect the samples, which were 83 patients who belonged to the inclusion criteria. This research was conducted in the Primary Health Center in Bantul Yogyakarta between April and May. The statistical tests used the Spearman rank correlation test due to the abnormal distribution. Results: The mean of self-efficacy, health belief, and self-care were 84.9±9.3; 105,1±7,2; 67,8±7,7, respectively. There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and health belief at the value of p<0.000, and there was a relationship between self-efficacy and self-care at the value of p<0.000. Conclusion: Positive correlations were achieved between self-efficacy and health belief and between self-efficacy and self-care in diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract

Background: The increased incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) necessitates continuous promotional and preventive activities to reduce morbidity and mortality. Since NCDs cannot spread like infectious diseases, they are frequently neglected. In addition, NCDs represent a significant health burden as they can develop chronic consequences and lead to fatalities. The growing burden of NCDs is attributed to increased risk factors, including elevated blood pressure, obesity, body mass index, and blood sugar levels. Furthermore, NCDs can be the primary factor in long-term decreased productivity, leading to detrimental effects on social and economic resources. Some NCDs that are receiving the most attention and have the highest prevalence are hypertension and obesity. This paper aimed to present the prevalence of hypertension and obesity in a village community. Methods: We hosted a Gerai Tensi program as one of the community-based attempts to identify and screen for NCDs. This program was conducted in Dukuh Gowongan RT 003/ RW 002, Pucangan Village, Kartasura District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. All the residents aged ≥15 years old were invited to attend Gerai Tensi. The participant's blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference were measured. Results: A total of 75 residents of Dukuh Gowongan attended Gerai Tensi. Most participants were female (53.3%), aged 46–55 (24.0%). There were 54.7% (41/75) of participants with hypertension, mainly classified as stage I hypertension (31/75; 41.3%), and 58.7% (44/75) of participants who were obese, mostly grade I obesity (28/75; 37.3%). Conclusion: Hypertension and obesity are prevalent in the community, reaching more than half of the study participants. Coordination with the community health centre and village representatives is required to optimize the promotion and prevention activities, the treatment of diseases, and the sustainability of the Gerai Tensi program.

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the economic and business sectors in Indonesia. The pandemic has affected household food security not only in the economic sector but also in the household sector. The number of households experiencing food insecurity has increased as they cannot meet their food needs. In Sleman Regency, a forum for women farmer's groups (KWT) sells local food. One quite active is in Moyudan and Minggir Region, but the sales are not optimal, and not all have received training. Therefore, this study aims to see changes in KWT's knowledge, improve their marketing after training, and increase their economic status. Methods: This research was conducted in Sleman Regency, DIY. The training target involved the KWT in Moyudan and Minggir Region forums. We collected primary data from KWT characteristics (24 groups) and pre-post-test scores for each training (46 and 27 participants). The activities include 1) socialization of the program and bazaar of KWT products; 2) training of KWT; 3) packaging design and accompaniment; and 4) developing module training. Results: Most of KWT produces dry foods, such as vegetable and fruit chips, and shredded. Most of KWT's businesses (75.0%) are still running, although some have stopped due to difficulty in promotion during the pandemic. The obstacles experienced by KWT were using technology, arranging home industry food permits (P-IRT), and marketing. Training 1 and 2 pre-tests and post-test results increased only a little since the participants already had good knowledge (62.5% and 85.5% mainly answered correctly). However, many participants still answered incorrectly regarding the halal certification and food licensing. Ten KWTs succeeded in designing product logos and were assisted in making new, more attractive designs. Conclusion: The accompaniment can help KWT maximize its potential to improve the community's economic status.

Abstract

Introduction: Many young athletes joined football schools (SSB) to gain and improve their skills, aiming to participate further in high-level competitions. However, most SSB management lacked comprehension of sports sciences, essential to support young athletes' growth and development and improved sports performance. This program aimed to improve coaches' and parents' knowledge and attitudes towards sports sciences and its implementation in SSB. Methods: Involving representatives from 13 SSBs in Sleman, an integrated training on sports sciences comprising of long-term athlete development (LTAD), nutrition and psychological development for young athletes, coaching program, and management of SSB was carried out. Knowledge was measured before and after training using questionnaires consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQ). A focus group discussion (FGD) was also conducted to assess participants' knowledge and attitudes about implementing sports sciences in SSB. Changes in knowledge scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Thirty-five participants completed both pre-test and post-test, whereas only 17 participated in the FGD. The mean score during the post-test increased significantly by 12.71 points compared to the pre-test (74.29 vs. 61.58, p<0.05) with increased passing rate (57.14% vs 25.71%). Individual's change in knowledge improved by 28.83%. As stated during FGD, participants believed in the benefits of implementing sports sciences on athletes' growth and development, health, well-being, and performance. They also believed in the possibility of implementation, considering the growing number of licensed coaches. However, the inhibiting factors might be a lack of capable human resources, funding, readiness, and knowledge. Fortunately, a few SSBs reported having partially implemented sports sciences, and all SSBs are willing to start implementing sports sciences by educating all involved parties regarding sports sciences. Conclusion: These findings concluded the program's success and the promising possibility of sports sciences implementation in SSB.

Abstract

 Introduction: As one of Indonesia's largest regional government-owned hospitals, Hospital X faces high nursing staff resignations, with turnover rates surpassing the ideal rate of 4%. Job dissatisfaction and burnout indication contribute to nurses' intention to leave. Consequently, this study analyses job satisfaction and burnout on nurses' turnover intention at X Regional Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 14 and December 14, 2022. Data was obtained through Google Forms and distributed to 293 nurses with a total sampling technique. Data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software. Results: As many as 274 respondents were declared willing to participate in this study. The job satisfaction has an insignificant negative influence on nurses' turnover intention. However, job satisfaction has a significant negative relationship with job burnout, and job burnout has a significant positive effect on nurse turnover intention and a significant adverse effect on job satisfaction. Demographic factors also significantly influence nurses' job satisfaction and job burnout. Then, in the indirect effect test, job burnout mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and nurses' intention to leave work. At the same time, demographics affect nurses' intention to leave work through their level of job burnout. Conclusion: However, the results indicate no significant influence of job burnout mediated by job satisfaction and demographic factors mediated by job satisfaction on turnover intention. Hence, HR management should support and implement proactive measures, including revising the SOP for nurse schedule exchanges. Additionally, counseling programs should be considered to address low personal achievement issues among nurses.
