Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can be transmitted by spraying it with sputum. The fight against TB in Indonesia started with the DOTS system in 1995. Puskesmas Boru has a fluctuating incidence of TB cases, up to 14 cases in 2018, 16 cases in 2019, and 15 cases in 2015. This study aimed to determine the implementation of the TB control program with DOTS strategy in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic at the Boru Health Center. This type of research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. This study has ten informants, namely the East Flores Regency P2P health service officers; Boru Health Center directors; Boru Health Center TB program owners; Boru Health Center laboratory directors; Drug Administration Supervisors; and patients in treatment. The results showed that implementing the DOTS strategy in the Boru Health Center had not gone optimally. This is evident from the unavailability of rapid molecular test kits at the Boru Health Center, and many suspects are afraid to do a sputum test due to the Covid-19 problems. It is hoped that the East Flores District Health Department and Boru Health Center will increase skilled health workers and provide socialization for TB suspects and patients related to the COVID-19 situation around anxiety and review readiness.

Abstract

Efforts to prevent maternal death are carried out by utilizing ANC services to keep the condition of the mother and fetus healthy and to detect earlier the high risks and abnormalities during pregnancy. In 2020 the number of pregnant women increased but there was a decrease in ANC visits by 9.7% K1 and by 8.5% K4 at Puskesmas Oesapa. The decreasing coverage of antenatal care shows the low utilization of ANC services by pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to determine the facts related to using ANC services at Puskesmas Oesapa. This type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted at the Puskesmas Oesapa, with a sample of 80 mothers who gave birth in 2021, and used a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using an interview with a questionnaire. The data analysis used was univariate and bivariate with a chi-square statistical test. The results showed that the variables that had a relationship with the use of ANC services were occupation (95% CI 0,004 = to 0,007;ρ-value = 0.006), family support (95% CI = 0,002 to 0,004; ρ-value = 0.003), a distance of residence (95% CI = 0,008 to 0,011; ρ-value = 0.011). Meanwhile, the mother's condition variable (95% CI = 0,435 to 0,455; ρ-value= 0.471) has no relationship to the use of ANC services at Puskesmas Oesapa. It is expected that mothers check their pregnancies regularly to detect early complications in pregnancy and that health workers can improve health promotion related to the utilization of ANC.

This research was quantitative with a cross-sectional study design. The population in this research was 410 people in the MSM community located in Oebobo. The sample was determined using a proportional sampling technique with 78 people as a sample number. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate with a chi-square test. The results showed that 60.87% of respondents had less knowledge, 75% with negative attitudes, and 78.27% of respondents did not take precautions against the incidence of HIV-AIDS. The incidence of HIV-AIDS can be decreased with better knowledge (95% CI =63.90 to 71.60; p=0.042), positive attitudes (95% CI =75.86 to 80.70; p=0.005), and preventive actions (95% CI =59.62 to 73.70; p=0.002). Health promotion must be carried out continuously and precautions are needed to reduce the risk of HIV-AIDS transmission.
