Health Promotion Media Exposure and Student Compliance Toward Smoke-Free School Regulation In Sleman Yogyakarta

The number of adolescent smokers in Indonesia are increasing with the highest prevalence on age 15-19. Implementation of smoke-free schools (SFS) aims to reduce adolescent smokers and protect school residents from cigarette smoke exposure. Public Senior High School 1 Cangkringan, Sleman has declared a SFS since 2019 by providing health promotion media such as posters and stickers in the school area. This study describes the implementation of SFS and to determine the relationship between health promotion media exposure and student compliance toward SFS regulations using quantitative methods with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out through observation with checklists and online surveys with a google form. Sampling using accidental sampling method to 155 respondents and data analysis using SPSS version 17 with Chi-Square test. All respondents stated that the implementation of SFS is good and the results of observations showed that the input, process, and output indicators of SFS implementation had been fulfilled. Most of the students (83.2%) were exposed to high-level health promotion and 98,1% students obeyed the SFS regulations, There was a relationship between exposure to health promotion media in the form of posters with student compliance with SFS regulations ρ value ≤ α (0.004 ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, the high exposure to health promotion media has implications for the high compliance of students to SFS regulations.

Augmenting the Referral Pathway for Retinal Services Among Patients With Diabetes Mellitus at Reiyukai Eiko Masunaga Eye Hospital, Nepal: Protocol for a Nonrandomized, Pre-Post Intervention Study.

BackgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is an important public health issue in Nepal with a huge social and economic impact. Despite the availability of retinal services, people may not access them because of the lack of knowledge about DR and poor referral systems. Published studies on referral pathways in Nepal are scarce. Improving DR awareness among general physicians has the potential to address these challenges.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a health education intervention on health personnel, establish a referral pathway, and assess the impact of the intervention on the attendance of patients with diabetes mellitus for retinal screening at Reiyukai Eiko Masunaga Eye Hospital in Nepal.MethodsThis is a nonrandomized, pre- and postintervention study. Health education on DR will be provided to selected health personnel of the intervention hospital (Scheer Memorial) using information education and communication (IEC) materials in the form of PowerPoint presentations, posters, pamphlets, videos, and pre- and postevaluation questionnaires along with referral slip. Pre- and postevaluation will be undertaken during the study period. Data will be analyzed using MS Excel and Epi Info 7.ResultsThe ethical approval for this study has been obtained from the Ethical Review Board of the Nepal Health Research Council (ERB Protocol Registration Number # 582/2020P). The study is expected to be completed in 18 months from the start of the project. The baseline data collection was from June to January 2020 for a period of 8 months. The postintervention data collection was from February to September 2021 for a period of 8 months. The last 2 months are planned for data analysis and report writing.ConclusionsHealth education intervention could be a low-cost solution to improve the awareness, access, and utilization of retinal health care services; this is an understudied topic in Nepal. Working closely with the stakeholders, this study will evaluate the role of health education interventions (which are already validated in other low-income settings) to strengthen referral and reduce the burden of DR in Nepal.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT04829084; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04829084International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)DERR1-10.2196/33116

Risk Perception, risk Involvement/Exposure and compliance to preventive measures to COVID-19 among nurses in a tertiary hospital in Asaba, Nigeria

BackgroundCovid-19 infection is a serious threat to health care workers (HCW) because it is primarily spread between people during close contact, often via small droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, or talking. Therefore, how HCW exposure to COVID 19 virus translates into risk of infection is thus critical for informing infection prevention and control (IPC) recommendations. AimThis study assessed the risk perception, risk involvement/exposure and compliance to preventive measures to COVID-19 among nurses in a tertiary hospital in Asaba Nigeria. MethodsA cross-sectional descriptive survey (Census method) was used to recruit to the study, the entire 378 nurses in a tertiary hospital in Asaba, who met the inclusion criteria. There was no sampling as the population was few. For the participatory observation of the respondents, each ward had research assistant who is a nurse selected from the unit and trained on data collection for the study. ResultsA subset of the nurses (9.3%) in the study centre strongly agree that Covid-19 is a mirage, and 2.6% also agree that the pandemic does not exist, while 37.8% agree that the pandemic is being politicized. Many of the nurses 141(37.3%) had contact with the environment where Covid-19 patients were cared for. For the participatory observation, decontamination of high touch surfaces was poor in most of the units. Personal protective equipment were lacking in some medical wards as only 2(50%) of the wards had all the PPE available at the time of the study. ConclusionSome of the infection preventive measures for Covid 19 were neglected by the nurses, and this calls for reminder in the form of posters at strategic spots in the hospital and further trainings on IPC.

Pembentukan kader peduli Covid pada masyarakat di Desa Rumbio, Kabupaten Kampar

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has lasted almost two years. In Kampar Regency, there are a total of 3567 confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of May 1, 2021. One strategy that can be taken to reduce this Covid case is the development of cadres who care about Covid for village communities to recognize and report cases immediately to health facilities. For this reason, the Environmental Science Postgraduate Service Team of the University of Riau carried out community service activities in Rumbio village, Kampar district, Riau. This activity begins with the preparation of educational materials and is given to village cadres in order to increase their understanding of COVID-19. The method in implementing this service activity is carried out in 4 (four) stages, namely (1) Socialization, (2) Competency Improvement, (3) Implementation of activities, and (4) Monitoring and Evaluation. This activity is assisted by Kukerta students and periodic monitoring is carried out after the counseling. We also handed over visual media for Posbindu in the form of posters and banners. The existence of community service activities can improve the health status of the community.

“BeDiL” Learning Media Training in The New Normality Era

Online learning is a new phenomenon for educators. This requires education actors, such as educators, education staff, governments, students, and even parents of students to be able to work together in building interactive learning. Online learning is a learning method/way that can motivate students to learn more and achieve learning objectives. However, not all educators can adapt quickly, especially for educators who work in the field at the front lines. This can happen because, over the years, educators have been accustomed to face-to-face or offline teaching models instead of a virtually face-to-face or online model. When learning is carried out online, this becomes a challenge for educators where they have to learn many new things such as the media platforms, new presentation methods, or adapted teaching strategies so that learning can be done effectively. Moreover, an educator is a wheel in learning. Therefore, training on the design of a learning media, especially in the face of this new normal era, is crucial to do. This training activity is carried out using the learning-by-doing method. This method was chosen because the training activities were carried out in a guided manner. Based on the training activities two results can be obtained. First, the training related to the BeDiL learning media has been carried out smoothly. Second, participants can make BeDiL learning media in the form of posters that can be classified into two, namely complete BeDiL posters and incomplete BeDiL posters.

Effect of an evidence-based poster on the knowledge of delirium and its prevention in student nurses: A quasi-experimental study

Background A major barrier to nurses adopting evidence-based practice (EBP) has been the limited awareness of evidence underpinning clinical practice, often due to poor access and understanding of the literature base. To address this, we piloted the development of educational posters summarizing the evidence base around clinical practices to see if they help nurses better understand the rationale behind their care. Our first poster focused on the evidence supporting the management of delirium in older persons, specifically delirium identification and its prevention. Objective To examine the effect of an evidence-based poster education on the delirium knowledge of student nurses. Design A prospective two-armed quasi-experimental study. Methods 188 student nurses were recruited in December 2017. Participants were alternated to receive either an evidence-based poster education session or a reflective education session as a control. Both groups were assessed on their general knowledge on delirium, knowledge on delirium detection and knowledge on delirium prevention. This was conducted both before exposure to either the intervention or control, and one week after exposure. Unpaired t-tests with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were applied to compare the mean change in pre-test and post-test delirium knowledge. We used the Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs (TREND) checklist to report our methods and findings. Results Students in the poster education group reported greater improvements in mean scores of delirium identification (Mean increase = 1.0, p = 0.007, 95% CI: 0.3-1.6), delirium prevention (Mean increase = 1.6, p < 0.001, 9% CI: 1.0-2.2) and overall delirium knowledge (Mean increase = 2.7, p < 0.001, 95% CI: 1.5-3.8) than students in the control. Conclusion Summarised research evidence within a poster format can increase student nurses’ access to the evidence base. This has shown to increase their knowledge to guide their clinical practice. Impact statement Exposure to poster summaries of research evidence underpinning delirium care increases student nurses’ clinical knowledge of delirium identification and prevention.

Al-Quran Stand Design For Imam Praying

Remembering memorizing the Qur'an takes time, and when in the process of memorizing someone encounters obstacles, it takes motivation or encouragement, both internal and external motivation. This also applies to the imam of the prayer when he is the imam of his congregation. Sometimes the memorization of the surah is disturbed, and the congregation sometimes cannot help the imam memorize the surah because he does not memorize the surah he reads. From these problems, a product facility is needed that helps make it easier for the Imam to pray in reciting the reading of the Qur'an in prayer in the form of an al-Qur'an booth. The existing Qur'an booth products use heavy materials with unattractive shapes. The material used is Dutch teak wood, which is softer than other wood varieties. Dutch teak is resistant to shock. By using the Vinod Goel method, This design process includes three stages, namely Prelimenary Design in the form of existing, problem formulation, data analysis, design specifications, Design Development in the form of sketches and design development, and Final Design in the form of technical drawings, 3D Modeling, prototypes, posters and portfolios. The design of this product produces a booth product where the Koran is placed so that the imam can read the Koran in prayer, thus helping memorization when he becomes the imam of praying at the mosque.

PENGARUH MEDIA PROMOSI KESEHATAN BERBASIS MULTI LEVEL HEALTH PROMOTION TERHADAP INTENSI DAN PERILAKU MEROKOK SANTRI DI PONDOK PESANTREN API JAWA TENGAH

The number of active smokers in Indonesia always increases every year and the age of active smokers commonly adolescents between 10-18 years. One of the cigarette consumption control programs is the smoking cessation clinic and non-smoking areas. Local regulations about non-smoking areas have not been fully effective in the education area, especially in Magelang. An effective model of health promotion is expected to change the intention and behavior of adolescents about smoking. The purpose of this study was to determine effect of health promotion model on santri’s intention and behavior at the Islamic Boarding School, Magelang. Study design was experimental using one group pre test-post test design. A total of 95 santri participated in the study and were given interventions in the form of lectures, discussions, videos and posters. Intention and behavior of santri was obtained using a questionnaire and Wilcoxon sign test to analyze the effect of health promotion on santri's knowledge and behavior. Most santri smoke (68.8%) and based on Wilcoxon sign test showed there are significanly differences in intention and smoking behavior of students after being given a health promotion (p<0.001). The health promotion model non-smoking areas significantly influences santri’s intention and behavior. Keywords : Health Promotion, Intention, Behavior

Training and counseling of violence women and children for motivators of motivation in the work area of Community Health Center Kasihan I Bantul Yogyakarta

The problem of violence against women and children is an iceberg phenomenon because only a few cases are reported, the community still considers cases of violence as a disgrace and a "domestic" problem in the family that is not suitable for others. know about. In the area of the Kasihan I Health Center, there is a “KEKEP IBU” (Auxiliary Group Class) motivator in every integrated service post. The problems found were the lack of knowledge and skills of the motivators in providing counseling and initial treatment to victims of violence against women and children and the lack of promotional tools. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of the motivators of “KEKEP IBU” in providing counseling and initial treatment for victims of violence against women and children and being able to report these cases to the Community Health Center. The implementation method goes through several stages, namely the first stage of the assessment where the team coordinates and Focus Group Discussion with partners about partner problems and solutions. The second stage is Planning and Development, making promotional media about violence against women and children in the form of posters for handling victims of violence. The implementation of the third stage was carried out online training which was attended by 40 participants. The last evaluation stage, namely evaluation based on pretest and posttest scores, increased knowledge of participants in the high category by more than 100% from 35% to 90%. The implementation of this service activity went smoothly. Participants are expected to be able to provide initial treatment and counseling to victims of violence against women and children in their area.

The Contribution of Community Health Education to Sustainable Control of the Neglected Zoonotic Diseases.

Effective and sustainable control of the Neglected Zoonoses (NZDs) demands a One Health approach. NZDs largely impact on individuals in low- and middle-income countries, disproportionally affecting resource poor communities with poor access to veterinary and human health services and to clean water and which are intrinsically dependent on animals for their livelihoods. Many NZDs in humans can be treated, but treatment is often complex and expensive. Similarly, while tools for prevention of transmission may exist, they are complex and expensive to adopt at the scale required to be effective. The cost of intervention for NZDs is high when compared to the public health benefits alone, but costs are easily outweighed by full cross sector analysis and when monetary and non-monetary benefits to all stakeholders are considered. Education is a key tool, often overlooked in favor of more complex solutions for the control of NZDs. Successful education programs have been targeted to children of school age for Taenia solium in Kenya, schistosomiasis in Nigeria, and soil transmitted helminths in China. A Snakes and Ladders board game, designed to teach children about schistosomiasis and encourage compliance with mass deworming programs, deployed in Nigerian schools, showed a 67% increase in knowledge of praziquantel and 65% of children who had previously rejected treatment requested the drug at school. For soil transmitted helminths in China, presentation of health information in cartoon format rather than in poster format, showed post-assessment knowledge to be 90% higher. With the rise in affordable smart-phone technology, internet access and airtime in communities in low- and middle- income countries e-education is an increasingly attractive proposition as an intervention tool for the NZDs. The Vicious Worm, a computer based educational health tool that has been designed around the prevention of Taenia Solium has shown remarkable efficacy in affected communities in which it has been deployed with participants applying the principles learned in their communities. This review explores the successes and benefits of education as a control tool for the NZDs.

406 Audit of Current COVID-19 Consent Process

AimContracting COVID-19 increases the risk of serious peri-operative morbidity and mortality. The current best practice for informed consent is to make patients aware of the risk of contracting COVID-19. We aimed to determine if our local orthopaedic unit was meeting this standard of practice.MethodWe performed a single centre, retrospective, closed loop audit. Data was collected using Bluespeir© and Clinical Portal© software. We first audited all emergency and elective consent forms (n = 51) between September-October 2020; mean age 58 years old (range 17-87). Results were circulated to all orthopaedic departmental staff in poster format and given 2 weeks of educational awareness before re-audit of all consent forms (n = 59) in November 2020; mean age 54 years old (range 17-80). Any patient with an Adults With Incapacity (AWI) form in place was excluded.ResultsInitially, COVID-19 was included as a risk in 21/51 (41.2%) of all consent forms; elective procedures 10/24 (41.7%) and emergency procedures 11/27 (40.7%). On re-audit this increased to 32/59 (54.2%) of all consent forms; elective procedures 23/47 (48.9%) and emergency procedures 9/12 (75%). During the audit period, 1 patient tested positive for COVID-19 pre-operatively and 1 patient post-operatively.ConclusionsThis audit improved local adherence to COVID-19 consent guidelines. There remains significant room for improvement, especially in elective practice. Further research is required to determine the true impact of COVID-19 on morbidity and mortality.

1458 Compliance of Abdominal X-ray Requesting with iRefer Guidelines in CDDFT

Abstract Aim 100% of Abdominal x-ray (AXR) requests in the trust should be compliant with iRefer guidelines. Therefore, with this audit we hope to evaluate the compliance of our hospitals with said guidelines. Method This audit was retrospective with AXRs taken between 23 – 29th of November 2020 being analysed for compliance creating our first loop. On the 1st of December we placed our intervention. This came in the form of educational posters in the four areas that request the majority of AXRs. Following this, a further weeks’ worth of AXRs were assessed for compliance between 2nd – 8th of December 2020. Results Between 23-29/11/20 there were 67 AXRs requested. Eight of these were excluded according to our exclusion criteria, leaving a total of 59 AXRs to be assessed. After reviewing the request cards for these AXRs, 17 were non-compliant (28.8%). Following the intervention, AXR requests were re-audited. Between 2-8/12/20 there were 69 AXRs requested. Six were excluded leaving a total of 63 AXRs to be assessed. After review, 22 were non-compliant (34.9%) Conclusions In both loops of this audit, the standard of 100% compliance with iRefer guidelines was not met. There was a high percentage of non-compliance in both loops with a rate of 28.8% and 34.9% respectively – a decrease in compliance. One possible reason to account for this was due the changeover of Junior Doctors within the trust on 2/12/20. Our interventional posters were placed in only half of the Trusts hospitals which may also account for the decrease in compliance.

The Portuguese mediterranean diet wheel: development considerations.

Scientific evidence has been reporting the health and environmental benefits of the Mediterranean diet. However, countries of the Mediterranean region, Portugal included, are gradually abandoning this traditional food pattern. The aim of the present work was to develop the Portuguese Mediterranean diet wheel. Three main steps were followed: (1) establishment of the most relevant Mediterranean diet and lifestyle principles to improve this pattern among the Portuguese population; (2) converting those principles into a captivating and easy to understand tool and (3) obtaining experts' opinion. By a matter of consistency, the preservation and transmission of the Mediterranean heritage was represented through an upgrade of the current Portuguese food wheel guide. This complementary tool highlights the Mediterranean diet enlarged character that encompasses a healthy lifestyle and reinforces sociocultural and environmental features. It was launched at the end of 2016 and was nationally disseminated with the support of the Portuguese Health Directorate. Initially it was presented in a poster format image that was subsequently spread in different communication formats. This newly developed Mediterranean food guide is a complementary educational tool that will support health and education professionals in the never ending mission of promoting healthy food choices.

Developing Communication Book for Schizophrenia in Aceh: Prospects and Challenges

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; he lack of media information about Schizophrenia in Aceh explains caregivers’ limited understanding of mental disorders. Research on patient discharge systems found that communication media about Schizophrenia were still limited, mostly in the form of posters, flyers, or booklets. There was no specific information about the mental illness needed by the family or caregivers after the patient's discharged from the hospital. This study aims to develop and test a communication medium that can support the recovery process of post-discharge patients from the Mental Health Hospital or Rumah Sakit Jiwa (RSJ) in Aceh. This action research was carried out through focus group discussions (FGDs), interviews, and surveys to health practitioners (mental health nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, community leaders) and family or caregivers of Patients with Schizophrenia (PWS). The study found that messages about Schizophrenia which are developed through a community-based approach are likely to be better accepted than the expert-led information.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;
