Abstract

Background and purpose: The incidence of diarrhea among underfive years children in Indonesia is considerably high. Studies exploring risk factors of diarrhea have been extensively conducted in Indonesia. However, the association between handwashing practices of the mother and quality of toilets with diarrhea among under-five years children are still inconsistent across studies. This study aims to examine the association between handwashing practices of the mother, quality of toilets and the episodes of diarrhea among under-five years children. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 104 under-five years children in Selagalas Village. Samples were selected using systematic random sampling. Data were collected in July 2017 by observation and face-to-face interviews using questionnaires. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were conducted to examine the association between hand washing practices, quality of toilets and diarrhea among under-five years children. Results: We found more than half of under-five years children (64.42%) had experienced at least one episode of diarrhea over the last three months. We found a significant association between diarrhea with unhygienic toilets with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 2.84 and poor handwashing practices of the mother with AOR of 2.46, however, both have a lower limit of AOR confidence interval that close to one, namely 95%CI: 1.05-5.97 and 95%CI: 1.03-5.87. Conclusion: Poor hand washing practices and unhygienic toilets are associated with the episodes of diarrhea among under-five years children, however, both have a low programmatic importance. Further study should be carried out to understand the association between handwashing practices and quality of toilets with diarrhea. Despite of the low programmatic importance, good hand washing practice should be promoted and access to toilets that meet the health standard must be enhanced.

Abstract

Background and purpose: The number of National Health Insurance (NHI) participants switching their primary healthcare (PHC) providers is increasing and dominated by self-paid participants. This switching could result in unequal distribution of NHI participants and amount of capitation among PHC providers. This study aims to explore the reasons underlying self-paid NHI participants to switch PHC providers. Methods: This is a qualitative study using in-depth interviews with a total of 14 informants recruited purposively, consisted of ten NHI selfpaid participants who had switched and four participants who intend to switch PHC providers. Informants were recruited by approaching NHI participants at BPJS counters and inviting participants through social media. Semi-structured interview guide incorporated the aspects of Consumer Switching Behavior Model. The interviews explored four aspects of participants’ intention to switch providers including inconvenience, service encounter failures, core health service failures, and attraction by competitor. The verbatim transcripts were analyzed thematically. Results: Self-paid NHI participants in this study cited four main reasons for switching PHC providers. The first reason is inconvenience in accessing PHC provider’s services due to long distance, long waiting times, unsuitable opening hours, and poor facilities. Secondly, patients cited the poor interaction between healthcare providers and patients specifically, lack of attentiveness, poor eye contact, poor delivery of health information, lack of consideration of patients’ opinions, and lack of responsiveness to patients’ complaints. The third reason is core healthcare service failures, including hasty examinations, inaccurate diagnoses, and errors in prescribing medication. Finally, informants reported that they wished to switch PHC providers due to the attractiveness of other providers, in terms of facilities availability, professionalism of healthcare providers, additional health programs, and ease of access to referral healthcare facilities. Conclusion: Self-paid NHI participants’ intention to switch PHC providers was mainly attributed to the perceived poor healthcare quality of the provider and superiority of the others. Continuous quality improvement should be undertaken by PHC providers to increase participants’ loyalty.

Abstract

Background and purpose: The incidence of morbidity and mortality due to tobacco use is very high. There are several strategies to help smokers quit, one of which is counseling to stop smoking in a clinic setting. The purpose of this study was to explore in depth the utilization of smoking cessation clinics at a Public Health Centre (PHC). Methods: A qualitative study through in-depth interviews was conducted with 14 informants who had been provided with a counseling at a smoking cessation clinic, consisting of five informants who had quit smoking and nine informants who were still smoking. Triangulation of data was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews with the head of PHC and one counselor on duty at the smoking cessation clinic. The information collected includes the utilization of the clinic, strategy of PHC in recruiting patients, knowledge about smoking cessation and the benefits of attending counseling. Data collection was carried out at the home of each informant during March-April 2018. The results of the interviews were analyzed thematically after a verbatim transcription being conducted. The data presented in a narrative to provide an in-depth description of the utilization of smoking cessation clinics in a PHC. Results: The results of interviews with PHC staff showed that in order to increase the utilization of the smoking cessation clinic, the services are integrated into the general polyclinic. Interviews with informants who have not stopped smoking indicate that to improve the utilization of the clinic, promotion and service variations are needed and not only focus on counseling. Interviews with informants who have stopped smoking show that counseling at the clinic can increase their willingness to stop smoking. Conclusion: To improve the utilization of smoking cessation clinics, in addition to integrating services into the general polyclinic, promotion and variations in services are also required.
