Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 vaccination is the government's priority to control viral transmission. Drive-through system provides quick means of product or service delivery; however, it has not been extensively adopted as a vaccination method. This study aims to describe the implementation of the drive-through COVID-19 vaccination conducted by the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing at Universitas Gadjah Mada in collaboration with several national and regional, governmental and non-governmental institutions. Methods: The drive-through vaccination involved online registration, data collecting, reporting, on-site dose preparation, injection, and post-vaccination monitoring while participants remained in their vehicles. The events were scheduled between July and September 2021 in either FK-KMK UGM Campus or Grha Sabha Pramana, UGM. These venues are on the inner property side of UGM, therefore is no disruption of public traffic. Participants who are eligible and receive an invitation may attend the immunization venue according to the schedule. Results: In ten vaccination events, 20,870 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were administered. Most participants were young people, with slightly more women than men. The drive-through vaccination went relatively well and offered many benefits such as improving vaccine coverage, time efficiency, social distancing, and herd immunity. Yet, issues like mild Adverse events following immunization and an accumulation of vehicles occurred. Therefore, careful planning and risk anticipation are necessary. Conclusion: The drive-through vaccination generally provides rapid and safe vaccine delivery to large communities. This method could be an alternative to delivering mass vaccinations requiring rapid and extensive coverage.

The results showed significant differences after the program in cadre roles (p=0.01), Canva training (p=0.01), innovation family training (p=0.04), and knowledge of balanced nutrition (p=0.002). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the respondents' understanding regarding the development of local food products after participating in the activity (p=0.082). These results indicate that the BIMA program succeeded in increasing the knowledge and skills of the respondents. Conclusion: The BIMA Program has effectively enhanced the roles of health workers, health literacy, and nutrition management. However, it requires further advancement in the development of local products. It is recommended that the initiative persists with activities aimed at extensive community empowerment, incorporating collaboration with pertinent sectors.

Abstract

Introduction: The students of Islamic boarding Schools, as agents of change, often experience complaints of muscle and joint injuries. Assalafiyyah II Mlangi Islamic Boarding School (IBS) was one of the pioneers of an integrated health system to improve health status. However, the condition of health facilities, especially those related to handling injuries, was still very minimal. In addition, the students had never received counseling regarding injury management. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research related to the effect of health education in increasing knowledge about assisting in cases of injury to Healthy Student Cadres (HSCs) of Assalafiyah II Mlangi IBS. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education in increasing knowledge about assisting in cases of injury to healthy students Cadres Assalafiyyah II IBS. Methods: This study was carried out using a quantitative experimental design. A one-group, quasi-experimental pretest-posttest approach was adopted in this study. The 40 healthy student cadres from Assalafiyyah II Mlangi IBS were recruited. The knowledge scores of the pretest (before health education) and post-test (after health education) were compared using the paired sample t-test. Furthermore, the Kruskal-Wallis test examined the relationship between education level and knowledge score. Results: The pretest results showed that the level of knowledge of the subjects in the good category was 5%, adequate was 30%, and poor was 65%. In contrast, the post-test results showed an increase in knowledge scores. In particular, subjects in the good category were 47.5%, adequate was 40%, and poor were as much as 12.5%. This study also showed a significant change in the score of knowledge about assisting in cases of injury to subjects after providing health education in a positive correlation with p= 0.000. The level of education did not affect the results of the knowledge score about assisting in injury cases, with p= 0.072. Conclusion: Providing health education materials effectively increases knowledge about helping Healthy Student Cadres (HSCs) in injury cases. This increase in knowledge can make Healthy Student Cadres (HSCs) pioneers in the surrounding environment regarding the importance of assisting in injury cases.

Abstract

Introduction: The global prevalence of obesity is on the rise, including in Indonesia. High energy intake from sugar is a growing concern worldwide due to its association with weight gain, tooth decay, and non-communicable diseases. A prior study revealed that 10.9% of Indonesian adults consumed energy from sweetened beverages in excess of the WHO recommendation. This study aimed to assess the consumption of sweetened beverages in male and female college students in Indonesia. Method: The study was conducted at Universitas Indonesia and involved 107 subjects aged 19-21 years who resided in student dormitories. Result: The result found the median BMI in female was higher than male. In female, 3 out of 10 students was overweight-obese, while 1 out of 10 in male. Interestingly, the median daily intake of sweetened beverages significantly higher in male than female; 387 (25–1580) vs 246 (0–762) ml/day (p=0.001). Added sugar content in beverages in males was higher than half of Indonesian recommendation (28.4 [1.9–134.4] vs 19.2 [0–61.1]) which contributed to energy as much as 170.9 (12.4–625.7) kcal/ day or about 8.9% of total energy intake than female (108.5 [0–394.4] kcal/day). Compared to Indonesian guideline, 12% of male subjects consumed added sugar higher than 50 g/day. Simultaneously, 7 out of 10 subjects consumed energy from sweetened beverages higher than 10% of their total energy intake (WHO recommendation). The BMI and prevalence of overweight-obese were higher in female, while the sweetened beverage was higher in male. It might be caused by the physical activity in male was higher than female. Although male had higher energy intake from SSB, their energy output through physical activity balanced with energy input. Conclusion: These finding alerted the university as educational institution should take an action to prevent this issue since the prevalence of overweight-obesity and sweetened beverage consumption has occurred in young age.

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the mental health and safety of the elderly, particularly affecting elderly women. Research indicates a rise in anxiety and depression among older adults, with pre-existing elevated depressive symptoms exacerbating their resilience during this period. Increased isolation, financial strain, and restricted access to support services have led to a surge in elder abuse cases, disproportionately affecting women. Effective strategies, such as raising awareness and ensuring timely provision of resources, are crucial to safeguarding the mental well-being of the elderly. Indonesia's commitment to sustainable development and health equity, exemplified through initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals, must address the specific challenges faced by elderly women in communities like Panggungan Village. The demographic shift towards an aging population, coupled with the pandemic's effects, further magnifies vulnerabilities. Empowering community-based resources can provide holistic support to elderly women, contributing to sustainable health development and social equity. Methods: The approach targets 15 Posyandu Lansia cadres and 20 elderly women in Panggungan Village through an offline community service program adhering to health protocols. Tools used in this study were the Mental Health Improvement Module, Geriatric Depression Scale questionnaire, and knowledge/skills assessment for Posyandu Lansia cadres. A combined quantitative and qualitative analysis was applied. Results: Results showed that 55% prevalence of verbal violence, 45% neglect, and 35% exploitation violence among elderly women. Post-training, these figures improved to 25% for verbal violence, 10% for exploitation violence, and 15% for neglect violence. Depression tendencies witnessed a 25% shift. Cadres’ knowledge increased from 58.2 to 82.1, and skills improved from 63.5 to 79.2. Conclusion: Elevated violence and depression tendencies that were quite high, negatively impact elderly women's mental health in Panggungan Village. Cadre’s training significantly enhances residents' well-being and mental health, offering a meaningful solution.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara Province, where it is the most prevalent among all Indonesian provinces at about 42.6 per cent. Empowerment initiatives represent a crucial approach to addressing this issue. Women's empowerment holds profound significance as it governs and nurtures human resources within the household, especially children, who represent the nation's future generation. This community service aims to implement a women's empowerment program by establishing a group of Women Providing Health Information (Perempuan Pemberi Informasi Kesehatan) and enhancing women's access to national health services. Methods: We conducted an experimental quantitative study involving mothers with children aged 12 to 59 months. Inclusion criteria included mothers with children aged 12 to 59 months residing in Kesetnana Village. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The mothers' classes aimed to enhance mothers' knowledge regarding the first 1000 days of life and the nutritional requirements during this period. The study included 35 participants, with the questionnaire on stunting knowledge serving as the primary instrument. Results: The findings revealed a notable increase in participant knowledge in the post-test compared to the pre-test, with a mean rank of 88.00 and a p-value of 0.000. Conclusions: The results underscore the continued need for a gender- and culture-based approach to health promotion to mitigate the incidence of stunting. Effective health education on stunting reduction requires collaborative efforts between health workers and local communities, with mutual support being essential.

Abstract

Introduction: High-risk pregnancies are a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, both on a global and national scale. Tuminting Public Health Center, which is a partner in the Community Partnership Empowerment activities, has a significant number of patients with high-risk pregnancies. This indicates an urgent need for the care of high-risk pregnant women. Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies require priority and continuous care, including early screening/detection, monitoring, and support. However, a situation analysis at the partner site has identified several issues, including: 1) Posyandu cadres are not actively involved in supporting high-risk pregnant women, resulting in these women not receiving appropriate healthcare for their pregnancy conditions. 2) Health promotion media for high-risk pregnant women is limited, preventing these women from receiving accurate health information tailored to their condition.  The objectives of these activities are to enhance the role of cadres in supporting high-risk pregnant women and to improve the availability of health promotion media as a support tool for cadres in their role. Methods: To address these issues, the proposers offer the following solutions: 1) Training on early detection, monitoring, and support for posyandu cadres using a psychoeducational approach.2) Training on the use of digital media for health promotion for high-risk pregnant women for cadres. Results: This training was attended by 37 cadres at Tuminting Public Health Center. Participants' knowledge levels were evaluated before and after the activity.  The evaluation of these activities showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating that there was a difference in the knowledge of the training participants before and after the training. Conclusion: Training activities with a psychoeducational approach can improve the knowledge of cadres, enabling them to enhance their role in early detection and support for high-risk pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates in Indonesia, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Case Detection Rate (CDR) in Banyuwangi is still relatively low at 54% compared to the set target. In Banyuwangi, one of the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Yayasan Bhanu Yasa Sejahtera Yabhysa, supports the TB control program in the region. Since 2021, this community has collaborated with the Banyuwangi Health Department to implement community-based TB interventions in 28 Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) spread across 16 districts, with a total of 66 active TB cadres. The aim of this community service is to train Tuberculosis (TB) cadres through socialization to improve the performance of TB suspects in Sempu Banyuwangi Community Health Center. Methods: The analysis of knowledge improvement data used a paired T-test with a 95% Confidence Interval. The test was conducted to evaluate the difference in knowledge improvement before and after education. Results: From the results of this community service, there was an increase in knowledge before and after socialization by 0.06 or 6%. The formation of TB cadres through contact investigation simulation carried out in community service activities resulted in the formation of four cadres. Conclusion: Based on the pre-test and post-test results, respondents showed a 6% increase in knowledge. The hope of this community service is to improve the achievement of TB suspect cases and reduce TB cases in Sempu Community Health Center.

Abstract

Introduction: The global prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in older adults is expected to continue to increase until 2050. This increase was consistent with the prevalence rates in Malang. This progression is simultaneously controlled by Sustainable Development Goals. This service is a measure to support the government in the early detection of severity and education of knee osteoarthritis patients. Methods: The method was adopted through Community-Based Participatory Research at Puskesmas Pandanwangi, Malang. The respondents included 58 elderly people with symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. According to the Indonesian Rheumatology Association, the symptoms often experienced in Indonesia are pain, crepitus when moved, joint stiffness for more than 30 min, indications of enlargement of the knee area, tenderness of the bone edge, and no warmth in the synovium area. Results: The results of the average mapping show that respondents experienced knee osteoarthritis severity in the mild category or had a Laquesne index score of more than 1-4. Conclusion: The severity of osteoarthritis in Pandanwangi is influenced by age and body mass index. These respondents were educated on sitting up and down, stair step up, knee flexion, heel slide knee extension, and tight booster exercises to prevent severity at the next level. Exercise parameters were adjusted according to the respondent's condition for 8-12 weeks, 2-3 sessions per week.

Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the highest cause of death due to non-communicable diseases in Indonesia. This condition is certainly very worrying, because the trend of NCDs is increasing followed by a shift in disease patterns, where previously NCDs were experienced by the elderly group, are now starting to threaten younger age groups. Public awareness of NCD risk factors needs to be increased. This requires community participation in PTM (penyakit tidak menular) integrated development activities (Posbindu). Posbindu PTM is an activity for early detection and monitoring of the main risk factors for PTM through community participation. The aim of this activity is cadre training and the establishment of a mesque-based Posbindu PTM. Methods: The method used is Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). The ABCD method is a service method that focuses on the strengths and capacities of local communities. The establishment of the PTM Posbindu was carried out at the Aisyah Abdul Latif Farah Mosque, Namorambe District, Deli Serdang Regency. There were 10 cadres recruited at Posbindu PTM Mosque. Results: The results of the establishment of the mask-based PTM Posbindu are expected to be able to detect PTM risk factors as early as possible and reduce the number of PTM congregants at mosques in particular and society in general. Conclusion: The socialization and formation of the mosque-based Posbindu PTM received positive support from the Deli Serdang Health Service and the Aisyah Abdul Latif Farah Mosque.
