Abstract

Background: Food poisoning outbreaks in schools remain an important public health concern because teachers often become the first responders during emergencies. However, competencies related to post–food poisoning management remain limited, particularly in special education settings. Objectives: To examine the effect of simulation-based post–food poisoning management training on teachers’ skills at SLB Negeri 1 Bantul. Methods: A quantitative pre-experimental study using a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 51 teachers selected through simple random sampling. Participants received structured simulation training focused on post–food poisoning stabilization procedures. Teachers’ skills were assessed using an observational checklist before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Before training, most participants demonstrated poor (58.8%) and fair (27.5%) skill levels. Following simulation, all participants achieved very good skill levels (100%). Statistical analysis demonstrated significant improvement after the intervention (Z = –6.224; p < 0.001), with all participants showing positive rank changes. Conclusions: Simulation-based training effectively improved teachers’ post–food poisoning management skills and may strengthen emergency preparedness in school settings through improved early stabilization capacity.

Abstract

Background:  Earthquake disasters may cause mass casualties and require rapid victim prioritization through appropriate triage. START triage is a simple method for disaster response, but students’ knowledge of its application may still be limited. Video education may help improve students’ understanding of triage procedures. Objectives:  This study aimed to examine the effect of START triage video education on earthquake disaster response knowledge among anesthesiology nursing students. Methods: Quantitative pre-experimental study used a one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 70 first-semester anesthesiology nursing students were selected using simple random sampling. Participants received a five-minute START triage educational video. Knowledge was measured before and after the intervention using a 20-item questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Before the intervention, 34.4% of students had good knowledge. After the intervention, the proportion increased to 67.2%. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant improvement in knowledge after video education (p < 0.001). Conclusions: START triage video education significantly improved earthquake disaster response knowledge among anesthesiology nursing students and may be used as a practical learning medium in disaster preparedness education.

Abstract

Background: Community-based elderly health post programs support preventive care and health monitoring for older adults. However, their effectiveness depends on older adults’ compliance with scheduled activities.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the determinants of older adults’ compliance with community-based elderly health post programs.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 152 older adults selected using total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires on age, educational level, knowledge, family support, social support, and compliance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate tests, and binary logistic regression.Results: More than half of the respondents were non-compliant with elderly health post programs (55.9%). Bivariate analysis showed that age, educational level, knowledge, family support, and social support were significantly associated with compliance. In the multivariate model, knowledge emerged as the dominant determinant of compliance (AOR = 29.641; 95% CI = 2.140–410.493; p = 0.011). Social support and age also remained significantly associated with compliance.Conclusions: Knowledge was the strongest determinant of older adults’ compliance with community-based elderly health post programs. Strengthening health education, repeated counselling, and social support from families, cadres, and health workers may improve older adults’ participation and continuity of care.

Abstract

Background: Financial compensation is an important factor in human resource management because it may influence employee motivation and performance. In Indonesian primary health care, National Health Insurance capitation funds are used partly for service incentives, but employees may have different perceptions of their fairness and appropriateness. Objectives:  This study aimed to analyze the association between perceived National Health Insurance financial compensation and employee performance in primary health care. Methods: This study used a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 37 employees from a public primary health care centre were included using total population sampling. Perceived National Health Insurance financial compensation and employee performance were measured using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation test. Results: Most respondents disagreed with the distribution of financial compensation (51.4%), and most had moderate performance (62.1%). Spearman’s rho analysis showed a significant positive association between perceived financial compensation and employee performance (r = 0.391; p = 0.017). Conclusions: Perceived National Health Insurance financial compensation was significantly associated with employee performance. Fair, transparent, and performance-oriented compensation management may help strengthen employee motivation and service quality in primary health care.
