Abstract

This article discusses the impacts, implications and challenges of accelerating maternal mortality rates in Indonesia. Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still a serious public health problem. MMR in Indonesia shows a downward trend throughout the 1991-2015 period. However, in 2012 the infant mortality rate increased again and then fell in 2018. Even though it shows a decline, the MMR in Indonesia is still relatively high and still above the MDGS target of 102 per 100,000 live births. MMR in Indonesia in 2021 compared to 2020. The impact of a high MMR is a decline in the productive and competitive workforce, a decline in social welfare and poverty, a decline in life expectancy and quality of life in society, a decline in fertility rates and population growth, which can affect the demographic structure and demographic bonus. and declining reproductive and nutritional health status of women and children. Meanwhile, the implications arising from a high MMR are implications in terms of health, social, economic and development status. The challenges faced by Indonesia in reducing MMR are the low health budget allocation, the lack of health facilities and personnel, low access to PONED (Basic Emergency Neonatal Obstetric Services) and PONEK (Comprehensive Emergency Neonatal Obstetric Services) facilities, high disparities in socio-economic levels, and low awareness and healthy living behavior in the community. The conclusion of this short article about the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is that the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is still high and has not yet reached the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target set by the UN, namely 70 per 100,000 live births in 2030. This article recommends Reducing MMR requires comprehensive and collaborative efforts from all parties, including central and regional governments, health institutions, civil society organizations, academics, media and society.

Abstract

Disaster risk reduction forums as a capacity in disaster resilient villages often experience difficulties in realizing disaster preparedness. It is necessary to prioritize any element that is immediately realized, so that what is done truly makes society have resilience and toughness. five disaster preparedness parameters that must be prepared by the forum. These five parameters have 25 elements as constructs. Elements as a construct of disaster preparedness parameters become an instrument called Difficulty and Usefulness of Elements in Disaster Preparedness (DUEDP-Questionnaire). This DUEDP questionnaire serves as a guide enumerator for interviewing forum administrators and communities in 23 disaster-resilient villages in the Magetan district. Data was collected for three months starting May-July 2023. The element prioritization technique uses the Quadrant of Difficulty and Usefulness (QoDU) method. This method focuses on elements in the upper left quadrant, namely elements that are very useful but how to make it happen is very difficult. The research results place the elements of involving vulnerable groups in socializing about disasters, providing village funds for disaster management, preparing contingency plan documents, providing early warning system tools, and training families to provide disaster preparedness bags as the main priorities that must be immediately realized by the forum.
