Abstract

Scabies is one of the most neglected tropical skin diseases in Indonesia. It is usually found in overcrowded communities with poor hygiene. The gold standard for scabies treatment is the whole-body topical application of 5% permethrin cream. However, the treatment causes inconvenience and stickiness for a prolonged period. The modification of topical treatment by applying only to the lesion yielded results similar with whole-body topical application. We consider using this mode of treatment to control the disease in a boarding school. The study was conducted from June to August 2019. All students were examined by dermatologists, and individuals who were diagnosed with scabies were treated using 5% permethrin for 12 h before wash-off (week 0) applied on the lesion only and reapplied a week after. The evaluation was conducted on weeks 4 and 8 by observing scabies lesions. Local health cadres were also trained, and environmental interventions were also performed. A total of 75 participants were analyzed. Most lesions were found on predilection sites such as finger web spaces of the left (57.3%) and right (58.7%) hands, gluteal region (60%), and penis (40%). The cure rate (CR) was 83%–100% of the lesions in week 4, which increased to 95%–100% in week 8. The CR on week 8 compared with baseline was 94.7% (p < 0.001). A total of 23 cadres were trained, and from post-test, 84% of the cadres showed good knowledge of scabies management. This novel application of 5% permethrin cream on the lesion only is an effective alternative to the conventional whole-body topical application.

Abstract

Community leaders must understand their role in controlling COVID-19, such as monitoring misleading information and providing socialization, education, protection, monitoring, and evaluation activities in the community, due to the numerous limitations of local governments in managing large populations during this crisis. This study aimed to describe the role of Yogyakarta community leaders in increasing community engagement in managing the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach, and the study sample includes all community leaders as many as 31 people at the levels of neighborhood and hamlet. The data analysis process uses frequency distribution values. Results showed that most community leaders had not been maximal in implementing the following COVID-19 prevention activities in the community: educating the community regarding isolation and self-quarantine, eliminating the negative stigma in suspected, probable, and confirmed cases of COVID-19 in medical personnel, and inviting the community to participate in providing hand-washing facilities in public places and facilities to assist underprivileged/elderly people who live alone. Leaders have also not been maximal in planning the needs of people who carry out self-isolation and appointing volunteers and community representatives to prepare and distribute food, personal hygiene equipment, and logistics. Most of the leaders only use billboards as a means of education. Some supporting activities have not been maximized, namely removing the stigma/anxiety in the presence of people who work as medical personnel. The role of the leader is not optimal in providing supporting infrastructure in implementing health protocols, and removal of the social stigma must be improved through risk communication assistance and empowerment.

Abstract

Podcasts have become more popular in Indonesia recently. Studies have shown that video podcasts, which incorporate education and entertainment aspects, are effective as a medium to study language and medical subjects among students and clinicians. This study aims to analyze video podcasts’ utilization in nutrition education and how they can engage viewers from the general community. This paper further aims to describe the development of a video podcast, NutriPodcast, as an innovative media to educate the community regarding nutrition topics. The number of audience views was calculated by utilizing the analytical feature on social media. The methodology to develop the podcast consisted of three stages: design, edit, and distribution. The design stage of the podcast refers to planning the style and length of the podcast and determining the media to be used. The editing stage includes both technological and technical aspects, such as hardware and software equipment. YouTube was chosen as the platform to upload the video podcast. The number of views of the podcast on YouTube was comparable to that of another previous podcast research. Most viewers used smartphones to access video podcasts. People from the 25–34 age group (55.2%) and females (51.5%) made up more than half the proportion of the viewers. It can be concluded that a video podcast provides an opportunity to facilitate a community seeking nutrition and health information.

Abstract

Volunteering is an important institution for social, cultural, economic, and ecological development, and an effective means for the socialization of the youth and the intellect in the country. The labor proposes a job, that is, defining the essence of the modern phenomenon—volunteering as a value-semantic complex based on the idea of charity, voluntary service in society, and the manifestation of the socially significant free activities of an individual, the group, or organization. This paper discusses the main characteristic features of the evaluative development of volunteering in various historical periods worldwide. Encouraged by these, Macedonian institutions have developed programs for volunteer development with ten-year prospects, considering the regional component and the specificity of the future professional activity of persons who will work in programs abroad. The methodological bases of the research are systematic, institutional, and common approaches and activities.

Abstract

Rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn) is a well-known family medicinal plant (Toga). Spoilage due to the weather, and the consequent low revenue gained from selling dried rosella are two of the main challenges currently being encountered by rosella farmers. Regardless of previously practicing community engagement including regular training from local authorities, farmers are still encountering difficulties to implement the training materials, consequently experiencing loss. Method incorporated in this community engagement is the double diamond design thinking that ensures putting the farmers first in all stages. Method chosen for drying rosella was a mixed solar dryer equipped with heating lamps and a blower. In addition, a new revenue generating skill was also introduced which included making rosella soap, as the farmers already had access to most of the tools and was a relatively easy process to follow. Farmers were equivalently encouraged to implement the acquired new knowledge as they were involved in every decision-making process, which increased their sense of belonging. After the solar dryer was installed, there were no more spoiled products, and the dried rosella yield was more vibrant in color and shape. Soap production has high conditioning effects and carries potential to bring better revenue compared to selling dried rosella petals. Community intervention can be more fruitful by involving community partner since conception. This program has surpassed the target and partner are happily and willingly continuing the project. This method can be used by other community empowerments doers, especially in horticultural field, as a model for improved farmer knowledge and increased yield, and in the long run to improve national food security.

Abstract

Midwifery is a profession that provides care for women, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Despite the increasing number of men finishing a degree in midwifery, many people assume that only women can be midwives. Thus, this study aimed to identify the context of rural communities toward the practice of midwifery by men. Further, it explored the reasons for whether they will avail of the services of male midwives. The study was conducted on 14 women and four men residing in the rural areas of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. Respondents were accessed through purposive sampling based on the inclusion criteria: A researcher-made interview guide was used in obtaining qualitative data from the respondents. The responses were elicited through a semistructured, individual in-depth interview. Data collection was continued until data saturation was met. Ethical principles were followed throughout the process. Data were transcribed, coded, and categorized to obtain the results of the study. In this study, although male midwives are perceived as professionals and well trained, women still prefer female midwives and express their doubts about the men’s capability to provide care, especially during delivery and childbirth. The respondents also expressed feelings of embarrassment on showing their bodies to a man other than their husband or partner. On the contrary, their willingness to avail of their services depends on whether they can perform and provide quality care. From these findings, the Department of Health and local government units may increase the presence of male midwives by hiring them in different health facilities. This may eventually help them be well known and accepted in the healthcare profession.

Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted non-communicable disease (NCD) services in primary health care, and NCD is one of the comorbidities that increase mortality in COVID-19 patients. Efforts to accelerate NCD services were carried out with the focus on two programs: the development of integrated polyclinic NCD services and the training of community health workers (CHW) at the Tanara Community Health Center (CHC) in Banten. The development of a continuous team-based service system from the Pos Pembinaan Terpadu (Posbindu)/integrated service post to NCD services at the CHC was carried out for six months to improve the quality of human resources and help provide recommendations in the implementation of NCD services. At the end of the program, there was a 26.1% increase in the number of hypertension patients receiving treatment compared with the previous year, and there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge of CHWs after training and long-term mentoring (p < 0.001). Efforts to accelerate NCD services require support from all parties, and to ensure the continuity of these efforts, periodic monitoring and evaluation are necessary.

Abstract

Information has been termed as power in the 21st century. Every century has its uniqueness, and the uniqueness of the 21st century is the availability, ease of access, proliferation, and strength of information. This study examines the sources of information among border communities in Yobe State. The study attempts to find out how people in border communities in Yobe State access information and the specific sources of information they have access to, including non-mass mediated channels and platforms.It also strives to ascertain if people in border communities in Yobe State get information on national issues and, if so, how frequently do they get information on national issues,as well as the level of influence of international broadcast organizations on the perceptions of people in border communities in Yobe State. The study adopts source credibility and source complementarity theories and employs multiple-stage sampling,in which cluster sampling, raffle method of simple random sampling, and convenient sampling were used. Based on the findings, many of the respondents in the selected local governments stated that they accessed information through mediums like radios, televisions, computers, or mobile devices but did not have access to information in their respective communities. The data shows that 48.6% of the respondents in the selected local governments in Yobe State have access to specific media through which they get information. Further, the findings show that Sahel FM is a major source of information in the state as attested by 55.7% of the respondents. The study concludes that there is a need for people in the state to have substantial access to information through local media on issues affecting them in the rural areas rather than depending on foreign stations for information.

Abstract

It is well known that the economic development of a country largely depends on the economic development and the living standards in rural areas. Yet, it is also a fact on the contrary that there is a major problem faced by rural entrepreneurs, namely illiteracy. Illiteracy causes some other problems, including lack of financial resources, low business management skills, lack of proper marketing, and lack of human resource management. The same situation is encountered by bamboo craftsmen in Rogomulyo Village, who has low entrepreneurial competencies. This condition encourages the need for entrepreneurship education in a rural area. By integrating the concept of community empowerment and entrepreneurship capacity building, the present program implemented independent-entrepreneurship literacy for bamboo craftsmen in Rogomulyo Village. It aims to enhance their competencies in running a small business. For reaching that outcome, this program applied Participatory Action Research (PAR) which consists of five stages, including problem identification, action planning, acting, evaluation, and specifying learning achieved. More specifically, the entrepreneurship programs implemented are business literacy, financial literacy, and digital marketing literacy. The finding suggests that the implementation of an independent-entrepreneurship literacy program could enhance bamboo craftsmen’s competencies so that they could develop their bamboo craft business in Rogomulyo Village. However, they still require support from several parties, including local government, local companies, and others.
