Abstract

Introduction: Dementia can cause disability, in addition to physical, mental, and financial stress for caregivers, and affect the nation’s healthcare system and economy. Efforts are needed to improve the quality of life of people with dementia involving various sectors, especially elderly cadres. Elderly cadres are volunteers who provide screening and health education for elderly persons at the community level. Accordingly, it is crucial to identify the knowledge levels about dementia in elderly cadres to improve public awareness and interventions concerning this topic. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge of elderly cadres about dementia. Methods: This quantitative study was conducted with a cross-sectional design. There were 103 elderly cadres recruited using convenience sampling from November to December 2022. A demographic questionnaire and Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS) were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho and Mann Whitney with significance set as p < 0.05. Results: The median score of the elderly cadres’ knowledge score was 22 (minimum-maximum = 0-44). Elderly cadres’ knowledge was related significantly to training about dementia (p = .002). There was no significant correlation between elderly cadres' knowledge and age (p = .271), gender (p = .073), and education level (p = .106). Conclusions: In general, the knowledge of elderly cadres about dementia is relatively low. However, there was a significant change in knowledge scores after dementia training, so a program to increase understanding about dementia through training is recommended for elderly cadres.

Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute to 74% of global mortality and are responsible for 73% of national casualties. It had been predicted that in 2024, the number of patients with NCDs in Indonesia will be around 92 million people, and among others, hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are significant health burdens in this country. This paper presents a community service activity aimed at screening for NCDs in Sana Village, Sragen Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Methods: An integrated assisted post (Posbindu)was held for early detection and to monitor the main risk factors of NCDs, particularly hypertension and DM. Fifty working-age adults from the Sana village were targeted to attend the Posbindu. Blood pressure and blood glucose levels were measured, followed by treatment and health counseling by the medical students, Mondokan health center officers, and local midwives. Results: The activity was well appreciated by the local community, with a participation rate of 226% (113 attendees out of 50 people targeted), consisting of 22 men and 91 women aged 22–93 years old. Hypertension and DM were detected in 61.9% (70/113) and 5.3% (6/113) participants. Conclusion: The high prevalence of NCDs, particularly hypertension, highlights the importance of maintaining physical fitness and carrying out health checks regularly. Thus, NCD screening through Posbindu is expected to be sustainable.

Abstract

Introduction: Noise exposure is a problem in children due to the vulnerability of the growing auditory system and its impact on hearing and quality of life during early developmental phases, which might influence a child's future path. Children have different external ear anatomy than adults, with narrower ear canals that absorb higher-frequency sounds. Hearing loss can be minimized by implementing educational programs, regulations, and laws to increase awareness and proactively limit damage from noise. This article will describe the noise awareness empowerment programs for parents of Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal (ABA) Kentungan Kindergarten in Yogyakarta. Methods: The community empowerment program collaborator is Pimpinan Ranting Aisyiyah (PRA) Condongcatur Barat, and it includes approximately 24 parents of ABA Kentungan Kindergarten students. Results: The program's results indicated that the average score of participants' knowledge before the program started was 51.6 out of 100. The average score increased to 82.9 after the program. Conclusion: The community empowerment team recommends that all parents understand the importance of protecting children's environment from excessive noise exposure. Furthermore, teachers can help by providing a suitable environment and encouraging safer listening habits with Personal Listening Devices (PLDs). The government should initiate campaigns to increase public awareness of excessive noise exposure and regulate the standard volume of toys and sleep machines for newborns and children.

Abstract

Introduction: Over a billion tons of food are wasted annually. There was much evidence in higher-income countries towards food waste reduction in consumption level. Conversely, some food waste volume is rising worldwide, particularly in lower- and middle-income countries. In order to improve understanding of how to minimize food waste during the consumption stage, the present literature review aimed to synthesize food-waste reduction interventions at the consumption level in lower- to upper-middle-income countries. Methods: The study used the Google Scholar database and followed PRISMA guidelines. Results: Three hundred sixty-five articles were retrieved from the database searched. The final round summarized 13 implemented food waste reduction interventions at the consumer stage. The finding shows also there were several main intervention types applied, including campaign (n=6), technology (n=4), policy (n=2), and others conducted in households (n= 9; 70 percent), restaurants (n= 2; 15 percent), and university/ college (n= 2; 15 percent). Conclusion: Policy is still a fundamental determining intervention of the effectiveness of food waste reduction at the consumption level. Furthermore, a framework suggests that community-based education may be applied as a consumption-level intervention to minimize food waste, which is appropriate for the community empowerment approach in lower- and upper-middle-income countries. Furthermore, intervention using composting eco-friendly technology also required innovation and community support.
