Pemberdayaan Komunitas Melalui Asuhan Kebidanan untuk Mengurangi Kasus Diare di Desa Pemepek Pringgarata

Diarrhea remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five worldwide, with more than 1.7 billion cases each year and around 525,000 deaths, according to WHO. Indonesia, including West Nusa Tenggara, has a high prevalence of diarrhea due to limited sanitation and access to clean water. The Pringgarata area, Central Lombok Regency, recorded 250 cases of diarrhea in children in the first six months of 2023, triggered by low public awareness of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about the causes, prevention, and treatment of diarrhea through leaflet-based counseling. The method used is counseling with an interactive approach including three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The counseling began with a pre-test to measure initial knowledge, followed by the delivery of material using leaflets, and ended with a post-test and question and answer session. A total of 15 participants took part in the activity, with the pre-test results showing that only 26.6% of participants had basic knowledge. After the counseling, this figure increased significantly to 93.3%. The results showed that the use of leaflet media and interactive methods significantly increased participants' understanding. This community-based counseling is effective as a health promotion effort in preventing diarrhea. As a suggestion, similar programs can be replicated in other areas, accompanied by cross-sector collaboration to strengthen public health education and the provision of sanitation facilities and clean water. Increasing public awareness is expected to reduce the incidence of diarrhea and support the national target in reducing the prevalence of stunting.

Assessing the impact of cervical cancer education in two high schools in Ghana

BackgroundCervical cancer is one of the commonest female cancers in Ghana. However, it is preventable. Prevention through Human Papilloma Virus immunization and early detection by screening have their foundation in awareness and a good knowledge about the disease. Acquiring the right knowledge about cervical cancer should be earlier rather than later while mindsets are still being formed to translate into the right attitudes and behaviours later in life.MethodologyAn unpaired pre- and post-test quasi experimental study was conducted at two Ghanaian senior high schools. An educational intervention was carried out comprising a drama, PowerPoint lecture, question and answer session and cervical cancer information leaflet distribution. A self-administered questionnaire was given as a pre-test and repeated as a post-test after 3 months. The total score for each domain of knowledge tested was categorized into adequate knowledge (≥ 50%) and inadequate knowledge (< 50%).ResultsThe number of participants in the pre- and post-test were 1,107 and 1,276 girls respectively, with average age of 16 years. General knowledge on cervical cancer improved to 94.4% from 73% following the intervention, but only 46.2% said cervical cancer was curable following the education. Knowledge on symptoms improved from 78 to 87.1% and risk factor knowledge improved from 81.8 to 89.3%. After the intervention, 37% from an initial 42% still thought that having sex at a young age (adolescence) was not a risk factor. Screening and prevention knowledge improved from 82.9 to 91% but only 37.2% knew the recommended age to begin screening with pap smears, even after the education. Overall knowledge on cervical cancer after the education significantly improved from 79.1 to 92.3%.ConclusionKnowledge of cervical cancer among young girls in two High Schools, improved with the educational intervention. Areas of education to be emphasized are: cervical cancer is curable if diagnosed early, increased risk with early onset of sexual activity, and recommended age to start screening. Educating young girls on cervical cancer increases their awareness and gives them adequate knowledge which should influence their attitudes and behaviour towards cervical cancer in the future. It should be considered for adoption into high school curricula.

Pendidikan Islam pada Zaman Klasik: Masa Rasulullah Saw dan Khulafaur Rasyidin

Islamic education was crucial in fostering a robust Islamic culture during the Khulafaur Rashidin era (11-40 AH/632-661 AD). The caliphs, including Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq, Umar bin Khattab, Uthman bin Affan, and Ali bin Abi Talib, continued the Prophet's purpose of spreading Islam, strengthening faith, and building a just and civilised society. The Hadith and the Quran are the main sources of knowledge, covering topics like as religion, ethics, legal concepts, and the Arabic language. Mosques often incorporate teaching methods like as examples, discussions, lectures, and question and answer sessions. This study employs a qualitative methodology that focuses on historical and descriptive analysis. The data were gathered by conducting a comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources pertaining to the Khulafaur Rashidin era. The historical documents underwent interpretation and critical evaluation, while the perspectives of historians were compared. The caliphs systematised the Quran, implemented a structured administrative framework, and facilitated the spread of education to additional regions such as Persia, Egypt, and Sham. The institutionalisation of education commenced with the advent of madrasas and kuttabs. Education not only emphasised religion but also incorporated diverse fields to cultivate an enlightened and virtuous society. The education system established during the period of the Khulafaur Rashidin played a crucial role in the future advancement of Islamic education. It produced a generation of Muslims who were well-equipped to confront the problems of their era and make valuable contributions to human civilization. The current state of Islamic education demonstrates that the integration of religious principles and scientific knowledge may cultivate persons with robust moral character and exceptional abilities.

8.N. Scientific session: Transferability and adaptation of vaccination interventions: Learning from underserved communities

Abstract Removing barriers in the health system that make it difficult for cultural, religious or ethnic minorities to access vaccinations is an urgent concern in order to prevent infectious diseases in the future. Childhood vaccine uptake for MMR and HPV in most underserved communities is lower than in the general population. The project RIVER-EU (Reducing Inequalities in Vaccine uptake in the European region - Engaging Underserved communities) engages the migrant community in Greece, females with a Turkish or Moroccan migration background in the Netherlands, the Ukrainian minority in Poland and marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia to remove health system barriers to vaccination. Barriers include, e.g., lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate information, financial barriers, insufficient capacities, coordination and delivery of health care. Based on a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach we selected and adapted potentially transferable evidence-based interventions in partnership with the communities. First, we pre-selected 6 useful interventions from a realist review on 36 effective vaccine uptake interventions. Second, we assessed them in depth for their transferability. Building a bridge between evidence on interventions and community needs is not an easy task: We involved various stakeholders in a longitudinal process under consideration of contextual conditions in the primary intervention context and the context of the respective underserved community. We co-created knowledge through 25 workshops and 39 interviews or focus groups for decision-making and determining need for adaptation of selected interventions. The aim of this workshop is to present the results of this co-creative process in each country. Special attention is payed to facilitators and barriers for transferability of evidence-based interventions from the perspective of underserved communities, and contextual commonalities and differences that lead to a specific intervention tailoring. This workshop will contribute to an improved understanding of how to consider contextual needs underserved communities have to remove health system barriers to vaccination on the one hand and suitable evidence on interventions to improve their situation on the other hand. The workshop will include five presentations of eight minutes and a questions and answers session to involve the audience. First, an introductory presentation on transferability of interventions for HPV and MMR vaccine uptake to underserved communities in specific contexts will be given. Then each country will present the intervention(s) to address health system barriers adapted to their context. Thereby, we will underline common key elements that have potential for transferability in all countries. After all presentations, we will discuss the need for context-based decision-making on evidence-based interventions and intervention tailoring to improve vaccine uptake for cultural, religious or ethnic minorities. Key messages • Improving vaccine uptake in underserved communities requires local solutions with tailored interventions. Trusted partnerships with various stakeholders are key to reducing health system barriers. • Participatory approaches to evidence-informed decision-making build bridges between evidence on interventions and needs of underserved communities to understand the transferability of interventions.

Pendidikan dan Promosi Kesehatan Tentang Masalah Hipertensi dan Pola Hidup Bersih Sehat Pada Masyarakat

The purpose of public health promotion is to initiate good habits and behaviors so that public health can improve as early as possible. This study aims to determine the public response to health promotion and education around hypertension and a clean and healthy lifestyle. The technique used is the literature review methodology. Several previous studies have used other methodologies. Presentation materials about hypertension and its risk factors, such as power point files, LCDs, and projector screens, are some of the tools used in health promotion initiatives to avoid hypertension. Blood pressure checks and counseling are usually the first steps in the health promotion process to adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS), which is then followed by conversations and question and answer sessions. With this, the researcher concludes that health education and promotion in the community are continuously needed. Many people are not yet aware of the need to carry out health education and socialization, on an ongoing basis, so this is not only done by educational institutions. Moreover, education and promotion about the problem of hypertension and a clean and healthy lifestyle in the community is an obligation of all parties and cross-sectoral, which is not only the community as an object. However, the community is also the subject of the importance of health so that it is continuously maintained periodically.
