The massive spread of online information, high access to internet and social media, and inadequate digital literacy among Indonesian have been a combination to accelerate the spread of infodemic that indicates the need for a better approach in countering COVID-19 infodemic. Collaboration between the community, social media platforms and the government is required to improve Indonesian digital literacy. The government, both at the national and sub-national levels, need to start a digital literacy campaign by actively involve the community to educate and empower them in searching, checking and spreading various information available in digital platforms. Community involvement should be started from family level as first gatekeeper to prevent spread of incorrect information as well to filter the correct one before circulating it inside and outside their family circle. Family members can be reached through local community organisations or programs such as Karang Taruna and Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK). Schools also need to get involved by including digital literacy in the current national curriculum starting from the early years of primary school. Social media platforms and official websites of both governmental and nongovernmental organisations have currently responded to COVID-19 infodemic by taking several actions such as flagging, filtering, blocking and removal content or accounts, etc, which are identified or reported suspicious. Nevertheless, those efforts must be supported by the government regulation to combat disinformation, particularly for the digital media companies in Indonesia. Strong and sustainable collaboration between the community, social media platforms and the government is important to achieve the good level of Indonesian digital literacy skills and to tackle the COVID-19 infodemic.

Background and purpose: Indonesia has made several regulations to tackle the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, including large scale social limitation (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB)). This regulation is related to physical distancing in all sectors and activities, including religious activities. But efforts made by government and other organizations are not enough to ensure society that these regulations will not affect their religiosity. To strengthen this policy, majelis ulama Indonesia (MUI) and other Islamic organizations have made fatwa and official statement about how worships, especially those which are done in groups should be conducted during this pandemic. This paper aims to provide report and analysis of Islamic organizations response during pandemic in relation to Islamic worships during COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia Methods: This is a case study of Islamic organizations response during pandemic. It includes Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), Muhammadiyah, and Nahdlatul Ulama responses (fatwa and official statement) to this issue and public responses as well. COVID-19 case also compared to vaccine hesitancy case, due to similarities of Islamic organization response between them. Results: Some fatwas had been made by MUI as response to Islamic worships performance during pandemic. But still there were cases like Banjarbaru and Solo case, indicating that fatwas could not guarantee the success of COVID-19prevention in religious worships. Conclusion: Religious and community leaders are needed to strengthen government move by helping government promote and educate people about health issues from religious perspectives. Moreover, some kinds of punishment made by government are needed to strengthen fatwas and rulings, as most of these religious opinions do not have legal enforcement.

Background and purpose: Indonesia is categorized as a country with moderate level of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, where the majority of HBV transmissions occur from mother to child, horizontal transmission during childhood and adulthood, and transmission in health services. This study aims to determine factors associated with HBV infection among pregnant women. Methods: A case control study was conducted among 80 pregnant women with sero-positive HBsAg as cases and 80 pregnant women with sero-negative HBsAg as controls. The sources of cases and controls were the registers of pregnant women at 12 public health centers (PHCs) and Karangasem District Hospital from June 2017 to December 2018. Cases were selected by systematic random sampling from 129 pregnant women with sero-positive HBsAg and controls were selected through the same method from 1,408 pregnant women with sero-negative HBsAg. They were then matched based on village or residence. Data collected were including history of marriage, pregnancy, childbirth and abortion, history of health services relevant to HBV infection, use of contraception, mobility, permanent tattoos and history of injecting drug use. Data collection was carried out from June to August 2019 through face-to-face interviews with pregnant women as respondents in their respective homes using a pre-tested questionnaire. Bivariate data analysis was conducted with chi square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Results: The case and control groups were similar in terms of age, number of pregnancy and parity. Risk factors which found to be significantly associated with HBV infection in pregnant women were age at first marriage <19 years with AOR=2.51 (95%CI: 1.13-5.60), history of husband’s mobility with AOR=3.07 (95%CI: 1.13-8.34), husband has a permanent tattoo with AOR=2.77 (95%CI: 1.04-7.44) and low level of maternal education with AOR=2.47 (95%CI: 1.06-5.73). Conclusion: Young marital age, low education, husband’s mobility and husband with permanent tattoos increase the likelihood of HBV infection among pregnant women. The coverage of HBV examination among pregnant women and early detection of HBV among husbands ought to be increased, especially among those with associated risk factors.

Background and purpose: The prevalence of hypertension has been increasing along with the increasing elderly population. Non-pharmacological therapies such as sports and slow stroke back massage offer a potential adjuvant therapy for elderly patient with chronic hypertension. This study aims to determine the efficacy of sports and slow stroke back massage as nonpharmacological therapies to lower blood pressure in this age group. Methods: This study was a Parallel Group Randomized Controlled Trial, conducted in Patrang, Jember, East Java. The study involved a total of 72 elderly aged between 60 to 79 years old who had blood pressure of ≥140/90mmHg, and not taking antihypertensive drugs. The study participants were assigned randomly into three groups namely, the sports massage, slow stroke back massage, and control groups. Subject characteristics, stress level, physical activity level and eating habit were collected through structured interview using standardized questionnaires (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, Food Frequency Questionnaire, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21)). Blood pressure measurements were done twice, before and after treatment. Before and after comparison was conducted with Wilcoxon test, between group comparison was conducted with Kruskal Wallis test followed by Mann Whitney test. Results: The average systolic blood pressures before and after sports massage were 168.96±SD 16.02 mmHg and 147.50±SD 15.95 mmHg, respectively. For the slow stroke back massage was 165.42±12.50 mmHg before treatment and 154.58±16.15 mmHg after treatment. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures before and after treatment in the treatment groups (sports massage and slow stroke back massage) were statistically different from the control group (p <0.05). Further, the Mann Whitney results indicated that slow stroke back massage was more effective than sports massage in lowering blood pressure in elderly with hypertension. Conclusions: Sport massage and slow stroke back massage are effective as a non-pharmacological therapy in lowering blood pressure in elderly with hypertension. These non-pharmacological therapies should be considered for controlling blood pressure in elderly.

Background and purpose: The use of long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs) of contraception becomes one of the government’s efforts to ensure the continuity of family planning program. Factors associated with the LAPMs use can be contingent upon the study context or setting that includes socio-demographic, social and cultural norms, and women empowerment factors. This study aims to examine the associations between women empowerment and the LAPMs use. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 97,316 records of married women aged 15-49 years, retrieved from three rounds of the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey/IDHS (2007, 2012, and 2017). The dependent variable is the LAPMs use, whereas the main independent variables were women empowerment factors (i.e., educational level, occupational status, participation in household decision-making, attitude toward wife-beating). Adjusted associations between women empowerment and the LAMPs use were examined using binary logistic regression by controlling the influence of sociodemographic variables as potential confounders. Results: About half of women in this study were 35-49 years old and completed primary education. Education level was found to be positively associated with the use of LAPMs. Working women increased the likelihood of using LAPMs by 1.10 (95%CI: 1.03-1.17) times. In addition, those who approved for being beaten by their husband in any circumstance were less likely to use LAPMs (OR=0.91; 95%CI: 0.86-0.97). However, participation in household decision-making was not associated with the LAMPs use. Conclusion: Women empowerment factors that included educational level, occupational status, and the attitude toward wife-beating were associated with the use of LAPMs among Indonesian married women. Therefore, improving women empowerment by increasing women’s educational level, participation in labor force, and reducing women’s vulnerability to domestic violence can increase the uptake of LAPMs.

Background and purpose: Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in women after breast cancer. Nationally, the coverage of cervical cancer screening among reproductive age women from 2014 to 2018 only reached 7.34%, while in Badung District was 10.3% in 2018. In the era of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) schemes, cervical cancer screening has been covered. This study aims to explore factors associated with the utilization of cervical cancer screening programs in the UHC era in Badung District. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January-February 2020, involving 195 women aged 20-50 years who were selected through multistage random sampling from two villages in the Badung District. Characteristics of the women, perceptions of seriousness, vulnerability, barriers and benefits, self-efficacy, cues to action and knowledge on cervical cancer screening programs were assessed. Data was analyzed descriptively, and association was assessed with Chi square and multiple logistic regression. Results: The proportion of reproductive age women who utilized cervical cancer screening program in the last 5 years was 44.1%. The utilization of cervical cancer screening program was associated with age (AOR=0.03; 95%CI: 0.03-0.300), perceived vulnerability (AOR=28.77; 95%CI: 3.745-221.68), perceived barriers (AOR=55.70; 95%CI: 7.12-435.72), selfefficacy (AOR=34.44; 95%CI: 4.34-273.66), cues to action (AOR=19.56; 95%CI: 3.32-115.24). Conclusion: The perception of barriers was found to be significantly associated with the use of cervical cancer screening programs along with other variables related to the Health Belief Model (HBM). Structured campaigns and improvement of the quality of services should be carried out in order to increase access of women to cervical cancer screening.
