Analisis Daya Pikir Masyarakat Dalam Pengambilan Keputusan Guna Menangkal Berita Hoax Mengenai Pemilihan Umum 2024

Indonesia will hold general elections to elect the president in 2024. Hoax news regarding the election cannot be avoided. The spread of hoaxes is increasingly widespread due to laws that are not yet effective, the use of online media that is not balanced by the abilities of the users, and a lack of public literacy. This research aims to provide solutions in reviewing and developing people’s thinking in overcoming and responding to the challenges of hoax information related to elections and future political issues that are more complex. This research used qualitative methods and data collection techniques through literature studies. This paper uses Herbert Simon’s theory of rational decision making which shows three steps in decision making, namely identifying problems, finding and developing alternative solutions, selecting and choosing each alternative solution. The result of this research is that problem the spread of election hoax news aims to reduce public trust in election management institutions, election participants, and the government. The author provides several solutions that the public can use as a basis for making decisions regarding the circulation of hoax news, namely: (1) self-criticism; (2) increasing digital literacy; (3) involvement of community leaders; and (4) participatory political education. The author chose the second solution, namely increasing digital literacy, as a solution to minimizing the spread of hoaxes. Digital literacy is the basis for other solutions that can help people develop skills for selecting news on social media.

Land2Lab Project: Reflections on Learning about Mi'kmaw Foodways.

Land2Lab is an evolving community-based intergenerational program that brings together Elders and youth on the land and in the kitchen and lab to share and celebrate Mi'kmaw foodways. Rooted in an Etuaptmumk-Two Eyed Seeing (E-TES) perspective, which acknowledges both Indigenous and Western ways of knowing, the project to date has featured seasonal food workshops, involvement in a children's summer math camp, a food safety training workshop for teens, and the development of an online toolkit. The project was guided by the Mi'kmaw principle of Netukulimk, which reinforces respect for Mother Earth and stewardship of the land, water, and air for subsequent generations. Involvement of community leaders has been key to successful planning and implementation. While technology plays an important role, lessons learned on the land are critical and will inform efforts to include language and ceremony in future programming. Dietitians are encouraged to support Indigenous-led land-based learning in support of the profession's commitment to reconciliation.

Community participation in clean and healthy living as an effort to improve the quality of health

In efforts to improve public health, it is necessary to implement clean and healthy living behaviours in the community to achieve a better standard of living. One strategy that can be used to earn a degree in public health is to provide education on public awareness of the importance of implementing a clean and healthy lifestyle. Community service activities aim to evaluate the impact of counselling on the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community related to clean and healthy living. The method involves organising counselling sessions in several communities through active community participation. We used pre-counseling and post-extension surveys to measure changes in knowledge levels and attitudes. Results showed a significant increase in people's knowledge levels after counselling. Interactive counselling sessions and clear information delivery successfully provided a better understanding of clean and healthy living principles. It concluded with the active participation of the community, the involvement of community leaders, and the use of relevant supporting materials. These findings have positive implications for developing health education programmes at the community level. Increased knowledge and attitudes are expected to change people's behaviour towards a healthier lifestyle.

Model of Legal Approach to Pandemic Disease Control in Indonesia

Objective: The research intends to offer a prescription or model for a legal strategy that balances the objectives of health and human welfare to limit disease pandemics in the future.   Method: The legal approach model was created by examining the achievements, failures, and variables affecting the execution of policies in the provinces of East Java and West Sumatra utilizing effective and responsive legislation. The research method used is empirical research with a socio-legal approach to see the effectiveness of law enforcement in society. Data were collected from organized research subjects through interviews and literature studies on COVID-19 control regulations, then analyzed qualitatively.   Results and Conclusion: As a result, policies in the Provinces of East Java and West Sumatra, apart from synergizing with central government policies, also make additional efforts and innovations according to specific local characteristics and involve all elements of the Pentahelix community, as well as regional jargon. The harmonious legal approach model is composed of legal effectiveness based on (1) the substance of the regulations, including clear rules, rewards, and sanctions; (2) the institutional structure of the COVID-19 task force, which was formed down to the micro level, including the addition of law enforcement groups and teams; and (3) legal culture or community compliance forms through communication, law enforcement, the involvement of community leaders, and legal pluralism. Responsive law is a means of public aspirations, namely: (1) mainstreaming people's safety without neglecting economic interests, welfare, or human rights violations; (2) law is state-centered in an emergency context but is limited by human rights and the legal system; (3) the principle of openness to public aspirations and participation; (4) complying with the principle of forward fulfillment; (5) preventing moral hazard, abuse of authority, and corrupt acts taking advantage of crises; 6) active community involvement, involvement of community leaders, and upholding Indonesian values. The implementation of the COVID-19 countermeasures policy in the Provinces of East Java and West Sumatra has succeeded in controlling the transmission of the virus effectively   Research Implications: The research results can provide valuable input for public policy makers, especially in the development of more effective regulations and policies in controlling pandemic diseases. It can help the Indonesian government to update and strengthen the existing legal framework.

Women and health providers' perspectives on male support for cervical cancer screening in Gwanda district, Zimbabwe.

Several studies have shown that male involvement increases the uptake of sexual and reproductive health programmes for improved family health outcomes. The role of men in reducing the burden of cervical cancer has however not been researched in Zimbabwe. It is for this reason that this study explores male support for cervical cancer screening programmes from the perspective of women and health providers in the Gwanda district of Zimbabwe. A qualitative approach that engaged thirty-six women aged 25-50 years in focus group discussions, and twenty-five health providers with different roles in the cervical cancer screening programme in in-depth interviews was used to determine their perspectives on male support for cervical cancer screening. Data were analysed thematically using ATLAS.ti Computer Assisted Qualitative data analysis software. Key findings reflected that men lacked knowledge on cervical cancer and its risk factors and prevention. Subsequently, they engaged in sexual behaviours that increased their partners' risk of acquiring Human Papillomavirus infection, the virtually necessary cause of cervical cancer. Furthermore, men did not provide the necessary emotional and financial support for their women to access screening and treatment. Participants were optimistic that innovative awareness creation strategies and intense, sustained cervical cancer education efforts targeting men could increase male partner support. Involvement of community leaders was seen as crucial in the facilitation of male involvement for programme acceptance and improved uptake of cervical cancer screening. Male involvement is seen as an integral component of the cervical cancer prevention and control programme that has to be implemented in Gwanda district to minimise male partner-related barriers to cervical cancer screening. Further research focusing on men is required to identify specific knowledge gaps that would enable development of appropriate strategies that best involve men in cervical cancer prevention and control interventions.

Prostitution Practices of Elderly Commercial Sex Workers in the Perspective of Social Bonds Theory

This article discusses about the social control among community towards the practice of prostitution from elderly commercial sex workers in the Pamulang area, South Tangerang by using social bonds theory with 4 main components, namely attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief. This research was conducted within 5 months in Pamulang, South Tangerang. The subjects of this research amounted to 5 resource persons, namely 3 commercial sex workers, 1 surrounding community, and 1 party from the South Tangerang Social Service. This research implements qualitative approach by descriptive method, with primary and secondary data sources. The result shows that the community is aware about the social deviation of prostitution practice around them, then they reject it by giving a warning. The involvement of community leaders who act as pimps encourages the community to be permissive. The permissive attitude that arises is due to economic factors and weak community conditions. The weak relationship with the family and never making an example of the mistakes she experienced by continuing to choose a job as a commercial sex worker until her elder age. This makes the social control of the community that occurs in the Pamulang area, South Tangerang weak and the practice of prostitution of elderly prostitutes will continue to occur.

Epidemic Response amidst Insecurity: Addressing the Ebola Virus Epidemic in the Provinces of North Kivu and Ituri.

This paper examines the impact of insecurity on the management of the Ebola virus disease epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo provinces of North Kivu and Ituri. In these provinces, insecurity has been one of the biggest obstacles in the response to the Ebola outbreak. When the epidemic began, these provinces were already insecure-creating unfavorable circumstances for implementing epidemic response activities. While the ninth epidemic in the Equateur province was brought under control in record time, the same was not true for the tenth epidemic in North Kivu and Ituri. Since the epidemic began, teams were organized to address all aspects of the response. These response teams conducted extensive fieldwork, including epidemiological surveillance, risk communication and community involvement, infection prevention and control, vaccination, dignified and safe burials, care at transit centers and Ebola treatment centers, and medical and psychosocial care for the recovered. They faced confrontational reactions from the communities, which jeopardized their security. The insecure state of the provinces led to the destruction and damage of infrastructure, including healthcare facilities, which affected the ability of rescue teams to access people needing care as well as the resources they needed to care for the ill. Worse yet, the insecurity took other forms, including threatening and kidnapping members of the response teams, lodging protests against the response activities in towns or health zones, committing violence against teams responsible for safe and dignified burials, instigating altercations between community members and members of the response team, and encouraging general resistance by the population. This level of insecurity interrupted or even halted response activities in some areas-sometimes for more than two weeks, decreasing the efficiency of the response teams, particularly in monitoring contacts due to the inability to access certain communities. Additionally, certain acts of protest, such as community members handling bodies as a demonstration of their opposition to safe and dignified burials, likely intensified disease spread. However, the involvement of community leaders, at least, made dialogue and negotiation possible between the response teams and community members, as such efforts led to communities contributing to the security of personnel involved in the fight against the Ebola epidemic in North Kivu and Ituri provinces.

Assessment of Perceived Performance of Solar-Powered Borehole Projects in Nigeria

This study aimed at the assessment of the perspective of the people of Kano-south senatorial district, Nigeria on solar powered borehole projects. This research sought to establish the performance of solar-powered boreholes in terms of presence, their importance, their performance, and maintenance culture as well as provide solutions to possible problems that the senatorial district may be encountering in the usage of these amenities to ensure good sustainability. The survey research method was adopted for this study, and data were collected from 400 people who represented the sample size. The analysis of the data collected showed that 88.6% of the respondents affirmed the presence of solar-powered boreholes in the study area, which is in line with the hypothesis analysis. Similarly, the result showed that although the solar-powered borehole projects have positive impacts on the standard of living of the populace, most of these amenities are not functional due to the low regularity of borehole maintenance. Based on the views of the end-users, it was recommended that the involvement of community leaders and other end-users, proper training of the end-users, provision of channels of reporting damages, the building of more solar-powered boreholes and adequate provision for maintenance are some of the ways to ensure better sustainability of solar-powered boreholes projects in the senatorial district.

Process evaluation of chest camps for increased tuberculosis case finding in Punjab, Pakistan.

To contribute to the World Health Organization's End TBStrategy, the active tuberculosis (TB) case-finding approach has been proven effective. A total of 66 chest camps were organised for patients in 15 selected districts in Punjab, Pakistan, in 2017. A mixed-method process evaluation was conducted in four randomly selected districts to evaluate the use of chest camps for active TB case finding to reach the maximum number of people with TB and to assess the implementation outcomes, such as effectiveness, feasibility, fidelity, and costs. Results indicated that 1458 attendees visited 24 chest camps in four selected districts. Among attendees, 297 presumptive cases were found and smear-tested; and 34 of the smear-tested were diagnosed as smear-positive TB patients. The prevalence of smear-positive TB patients among the chest camp participants was found to be 2.3%. The findings from interviews showed that preparation of chest camp activities, especially the involvement of community leaders, was found to be effective in achieving the desired level of attendance. The respondents found attending the chest camps for TB symptoms feasible and acceptable. The chest camp costs approximately US$280, including the pre-camp mobilisation events, whereas the cost per TB-positive patient was found to be US$197.64. The higher number of attendees without TB symptoms, the low proportion of smear-negative case registrations; and relatively high unit cost (per patient detected) were the areas identified for further attention. The study supports the continuation of chest camp activity, with further attention required for quality and efficiency concerns.

Use of the socio-ecological model to explore factors that influence the implementation of a diabetes structured education programme (EXTEND project) inLilongwe, Malawi and Maputo, Mozambique: a qualitative study

BackgroundDiabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) programmes are vital for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. However, they are limited in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To address this gap, a DSMES, namedEXTEND was developed in Lilongwe (Malawi) and Maputo (Mozambique). This qualitative study aimed to explore factors that influence the implementation of DSMES in these settings.MethodsThe Socio-ecological model was applied to explore factors influencing the implementation of DSMES in SSA. Data was analysed using the Framework method and constant comparative techniques. Sixty-six people participated in the study: people with T2DM who participated in the EXTEND programme; healthcare professionals (HCPs), EXTEND educators, EXTEND trainers, and stakeholders.ResultsOur findings indicate that there is a need to develop an integrated and dedicated diabetes services in SSA healthcare systems, incorporating culturally adapted DSMES and tailored diabetes training to all professions involved in diabetes management. Traditional media and the involvement of community leaders were proposed as important elements to help engage and promote DSMES programmes in local communities. During the design and implementation of DSMES, it is important to consider individual and societal barriers to self-care.ConclusionFindings from this study suggest that multi-faceted factors play a significant role to the implementation of DSMES programmes in LICs. In the future, EXTEND could be incorporated in the development of diabetes training and dedicated diabetes services in SSA healthcare systems, acting as an educational tool for both people with T2DM and HCPs. This project was supported by the Medical Research Council GCRF NCDs Foundation Awards 2016 Development Pathway Funding.

The sustainability level of rice seed breeding business: individual characteristics and external support aspects

The business sustainability of rice seed breeding in the breeder groups is very important to provide qualified rice seeds, improve the farmer's income and welfare, and become the indicator of the success of the program. The study aimed to analyze the level of sustainability of the rice seed breeding business and the influence of the level of support from the government, private sectors and community leaders on the level of sustainability of the business. Data were collected from 112 farmers in Majalengka from December 2020 to January 2021. The data were analyzed by Partial Least Square (PLS-Path Modeling) using SmartPLS3. The results showed that the sustainability level of the rice seed breeding business in the aspect of production and business profits was included in the high category. Production and profits of rice seed breeding business are higher than consumption rice farming. The level of private support and community leaders have a significant effect on the sustainability level of the rice seed breeding business. The government provides farmer protection programs, but the farmers have not used them optimally. The involvement of community leaders can increase the sustainability of the breeding business in terms of production, market guarantee and business profits.

"Their place is beyond the town's border": A qualitative exploration of stigma associated with tuberculosis in rural and urban areas of Lagos, Nigeria.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Nigeria with a minimum yield of various TB control efforts due to sociocultural determinants of health including TB-associated stigma. Therefore, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal targets for TB control, an understanding and reduction in TB-associated stigma is necessary. The study aims to explore the perspective of community members and investigate the possible ways of mitigating TB-associated stigma in rural and urban areas in Lagos State, Nigeria. Eight focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted among eight homogenous groups of participants living in the community in rural and urban areas of Lagos state who were stratified by gender, between July and November 2017. Analysis of data was done using the modified grounded theory. A total of 86 participants took part in the FGDs. There were various stigmatising behaviours towards people infected with TB in rural and urban communities studied. This includes: Not willing to eat with people suffering from TB, withdrawal from TB patients in social gatherings, verbal abuse of TB patients and refusing to visit their houses because of their illness. There were also misconceptions about the cause of TB in our study which includes spiritual attack, ingestion of cat hair and inhalation of dust. However, participants in the study believed that mitigating the effect of TB-associated stigma will require adequate community education on TB, provision of financial and emotional support to the patients, as well as the involvement of community leaders in TB control activities and stigma reduction interventions. TB-associated stigma exists in rural and urban communities, with a lack of appropriate knowledge of TB and fear of infection as a major determinant in rural and urban areas respectively. Health education and sensitisation about TB, with community leaders as champions could help to mitigate the effect of TB-associated stigma.

A Review of Cultural Influences on Risk for HIV and Culturally-Responsive Risk Mitigation Strategies Among African Immigrants in the US.

There is a paucity of research on HIV risk factors and risk reduction among African immigrants living in the US. This is despite the fact that the literature on HIV prevention and treatment continues to grow. We conducted a focused review to identify cultural factors contributing to the high incidence of HIV among African immigrants and best practices to increase engagement in HIV prevention services in this population. We conducted a search for empirical research published between 2009 and 2019, yielding 17 relevant studies with 16 unique samples. Inadequate knowledge about HIV transmission, low HIV risk perception, and stigma may be barriers to engaging in HIV prevention. Targeted interventions included bundled HIV testing, flexible scheduling, and involvement of community leaders in intervention planning and implementation. Implications for practice and directions for future research among this population are discussed.

Structural coercion in the context of community engagement in global health research conducted in a low resource setting in Africa

BackgroundWhile community engagement is increasingly promoted in global health research to improve ethical research practice, it can sometimes coerce participation and thereby compromise ethical research. This paper seeks to discuss some of the ethical issues arising from community engagement in a low resource setting.MethodsA qualitative study design focusing on the engagement activities of three biomedical research projects as ethnographic case studies was used to gain in-depth understanding of community engagement as experienced by multiple stakeholders in Malawi. Data was collected through participant observation, 43 In-depth interviews and 17 focus group discussions with community leaders, research staff, community members and research participants. Thematic analysis was used to analyse and interpret the findings.ResultsThe results showed that structural coercion arose due to an interplay of factors pertaining to social-economic context, study design and power relations among research stakeholders. The involvement of community leaders, government stakeholders, and power inequalities among research stakeholders affected some participants’ ability to make autonomous decisions about research participation. These results have been presented under the themes of perception of research as development, research participants’ motivation to access individual benefits, the power of vernacular translations to influence research participation, and coercive power of leaders.ConclusionThe study identified ethical issues in community engagement practices pertaining to structural coercion. We conclude that community engagement alone did not address underlying structural inequalities to ensure adequate protection of communities. These results raise important questions on how to balance between engaging communities to improve research participation and ensure that informed consent is voluntarily given.
