The implementation of reproductive health program during the flash flood disaster in Sijunjung, West Sumatra in 2018

Abstract

Disaster has negative impacts on the reproductive health conditions of disaster victims, especially for vulnerable groups, namely increased maternal and neonatal deaths, increased risk of cases of sexual violence, sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the reproductive health program in the flash flood disaster in Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra in 2018. The research was conducted qualitatively with a systems approach in the form of input, process and output. Determination of informants were done by purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, FGDs, and document review. The results showed the input component: there was no regional regulation on reproductive health programs during a disaster, there were no special personnel for reproductive health, adequate funds, adequate facilities and infrastructure. Process components: no activity planning, no special reproductive health team, data collection has been carried out, needs assessments have been carried out, reproductive health services are available, monitoring has been carried out regularly. Output component: lack of information regarding the existence of reproductive health services during a disaster to the community so that the services provided are not optimal. The implementation of reproductive health programs during the flash flood disaster in Sijunjung Regency has not been optimal in terms of input, process and output. It is hoped that the head of the Sijunjung Regency Health Office will improve the implementation of the reproductive health program during the disaster.
