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

The term alternative media refers to media that serves as alternative sources of information in lieu of mainstream media. In contrast to social media, alternative media are mass media entities that carry out journalistic functions even though they are affiliated with community organizations. Thus, alternative media are expected to provide authentic news just like mainstream media in Muslim countries. Islamic alternative media are also required to produce quality news, and this was especially seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, when a flood of information resulted in confusion among the community. In response, training that aimed to enhance journalistic professionalism for practitioners of Islamic alternative journalism from four alternative media entities was conducted during the pandemic. Entitled Enhancing Professionalism of Muslim Journalists, the training was carried out in a measurable manner using the Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which consists of five steps, namely discovery, dream, design, define, and destiny. With these five steps, the training resulted in significant changes in how journalist carried out their jobs. These include improvements in their understanding of professional ethics, news writing, and the use of journalistic language. This training also provided an overview of the pattern of reporting in Islamic alternative media, which are platforms that can provide news from a religious perspective.

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.

The intervention consisted of asynchronous webinar sessions, workshops, and business competition. Data were gathered from post-test questionnaires through a Google form. The winners were chosen according to the business ideas and given prizes. Then, a follow-up interview was conducted to measure the benefits of the intervention. For the results, more than 50% of the participants understood the theory by answering correct questions in the post-evaluation forms. The participants also reported feeling happier and having better mental health. Of the 88 medical students who volunteered in the event, 78.2% felt a tremendously beneficial experience of community empowerment and 21.8% felt they have experienced community empowerment. In conclusion, remote-online community development intervention may be a solution during the COVID-19 pandemic. By acknowledging the importance of the economic aspect to health and improving aspects that influence health holistically, both economic and health states of the people may be improved.
