Implementation of Open High School Program and School Performance in the Division of Bukidnon: Basis for Program Implementation Plan

Using intervention mapping to develop an intervention for multiparty communication with people with congenital deafblindness.

Due to their dual sensory impairment, people with congenital deafblindness (CDB) are rarely naturally involved in other people's conversations. Their communication partners find it challenging to include them in group conversations. However, overhearing others communicate is important for developing social and communication skills. Hence, we developed an intervention program to guide communication partners in offering multiparty communication to people with CDB. This article describes how the program was developed through an intervention mapping approach. Intervention mapping is a six-step process: logic model, model of change, program design, program production, program implementation plan, and evaluation plan. These six steps were applied to systematically develop a program to foster multiparty communication in people with CDB. Representatives of the involved groups participated in the project group and the working group to ensure feasibility and acceptability. Following the intervention mapping steps resulted in creation of a program for communication partners that consists of an education session, practicals, and four video-feedback sessions. Information sessions for practitioners and managers were also developed. The program was implemented incrementally with program implementers in each organization. A subjective evaluation and an impact evaluation were done after each implementation phase. Intervention mapping was used to develop a program that connects theory to practice. The program appeared to meet the communication partners' needs and be feasible in terms of time investment. This article offers suggestions for broadening the scope of the program to other settings and for further investigating the effects of the program on the social and communication skills of people with CDB.

Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM): A Scheme for Improving Women Welfare

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare implements the Scheme for Promotion of Menstrual Hygiene among adolescent girls in the age group of 10-19 years since 2011. The scheme is supported by the National Health Mission through State Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) route based on the proposals received from the States / UTs. The major objectives of the scheme are to increase awareness among adolescent girls on menstrual hygiene; to increase access to and use of high-quality sanitary napkins by adolescent girls and to ensure safe disposal of sanitary napkins in an environment friendly manner. Under the scheme, a pack of sanitary napkins are provided to adolescent girls by the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) at subsidized rate of Rs. 6 per pack. In addition, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has developed National Guidelines on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) for creating awareness on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) in rural areas as part of its overall interventions related to behaviour change on sanitation hygiene aspect. Further, to ensure access to sanitary napkins and good quality medicines at affordable price, Department of Pharmaceuticals under Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers implements the Pradhan Mantri BharatiyaJanausadhiPariyojna (PMBJP), an important step in ensuring the health security for women. Under the project, over 8700 JanaushidhiKendras have been set up across the country that provides Oxo-biodegradable sanitary napkins named Suvidha at Rs. 1/- per pad only.

Planning and financing of RMNCH+A under National Health Mission: A case study of the Gurugram District of Haryana State.

The Health Planning Process under National Health Mission (NHM) is participatory in nature and the State Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) is an aggregation of District PIPs which is examined and approved by the National Programme Coordination Committee (NPCC), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Many times there are delays in releasing of Record of Proceedings (ROPs)/approvals. This affects utilisation of NHM funds at district level and below and desired outcomes are not achieved. The present study aims to analyse the process of fund flow, disbursement and utilisation of funds on various components under Reproductive Maternal New born Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) in the district Gurugram. The study was conducted in the District Gurugram of Haryana State, India. One Community Health Centres (CHCs), two Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and four Sub Health Centres were randomly selected. Primary and secondary data were collected in the study. Medical Officer (I/C), Accounts Staff and Health Workers were interviewed using separate schedules regarding process of disbursement, delays in release and utilisation of funds. Separate checklists were prepared to collect data on availability and utilisation of funds at District, CHC and PHC levels under different components of programme. Study found that PIP is prepared with inputs from Block level but community participation at (PHC) and below was not present. There was a delay in reaching funds to district due to delayed release of ROPs. Almost 30%-40% of the budget could not be utilised due to delay in receiving of budget. Utilisation of funds was less in some programme activities due to vacant positions project staff. Only 38% and 31% of the funds were utilised under the child health and family planning budget head for the district of Gurugram in the year 2016-17. Accounts staffs were overburdened which affected monitoring of funds utilisation. Budget release from State to District and below was through e-Banking. Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) at Sub centre used to get Untied Funds at the end of third quarter. The Government introduced new 18 broad budget heads in NHM Budget for improving utilisation of budget. Delayed release of ROPs and erroneous estimation of budget under the programme, very rigid and large number of budget heads poses challenges of understanding and analysing expenditure and affects utilisation of funds under the NHM. Moreover, vacant positions in the programme, unrealistic planning, weak community participation in planning of expenditure and unexplained budget cut in ROPs were main challenges faced by the District.

Addressing Immunization Inequity-What Have the International Community and India Learned over 35 Years?

Countries around the world established immunization programs over 40 years ago to reach all infants. The maturity of these preventive health programs offers some useful learning on the importance of, and components needed for, population-based services to reach all communities. A public health success, ensuring equity in immunization, requires a multi-faceted approach that includes sustained government and partner commitment and human, financial, and program operational resources. Evidence from India's Universal Immunization Program (UIP) across stabilizing vaccine supply and services, enhancing access, and generating demand for vaccines in the community provides a useful case study. The political leadership in India took advantage of the two decades of learning from polio eradication and focused initiatives, such as the National Health Mission and Intensified Mission Indradhanush, to reach populations with immunization services. With a goal of leaving no one behind, India's UIP and partners are bringing essential rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines nationwide, upgrading vaccine cold chain and supply systems with technologies, such as the electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN), and optimizing funding for local needs through the Program Implementation Plan (PIP) budgetary processes and building health worker capacities through training, awareness, and e-learning.

IMPLEMENTATION OF CHILD-FRIENDLY SCHOOLS IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ CHARACTER

IMPLEMENTATION OF CHILD-FRIENDLY SCHOOLS IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ CHARACTER

Using the Ophelia (Optimising Health Literacy and Access to Health Services) process as a practical tool for health promotion program delivery in various Philippine communities.

The Ophelia (Optimising Health Literacy and Access to Health Services) process can be used as a practical tool for effective health promotion program delivery because of its multi-sector and pragmatic approach to designing health interventions. An initial case study showed how its first phase was successfully adapted in a pilot community in Leyte, Philippines. In this study, the three phases of the Ophelia process were implemented in Leyte, along with additional communities in Mindoro and Surigao. After conducting needs assessment and community profiling in phase 1, the results were transformed into vignettes, hypothetical personas representing the health needs of the community. These were used in phase 2, which involved focus group discussions and workshops to cocreate intervention ideas with government organisations, practitioners, and community representatives. A rapid realist review was conducted in phase 3 to check for the feasibility of interventions. Through this, the top evidence-based health interventions for each life stage were listed and presented for prioritisation. Program implementation and impact evaluation plans were created for the top health intervention prior to implementation. The Ophelia process ensured that health promotion interventions addressed community needs and were designed using community resources and the wisdom of health practitioners that have been immersed in the local health system. SO WHAT?: The study demonstrated the usefulness of vignettes in presenting data to lay people and how the rapid realist review approach is a practical tool for policy-makers to ensure that program plans designed by the communities and health practitioners are evidence-based without sacrificing the timeliness of implementation.

Bigs in Blue: Police officer mentoring for middle-school students—Building trust and understanding through structured programming

PurposeClashes and tragedies between the police and citizens in recent years have focused greater attention on the increasingly negative interactions between community police officers and youth. The purpose of this paper is to describe the extensive evaluation of a New York City police mentoring program, Bigs in Blue (BIB), a component of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. The evaluation will measure the success of the program with middle-school youth throughout the districts. Through police mentorship, BIB is intended to build youth’s skills and development and promote their trust in the police. The design is grounded in evidence-based studies of youth/officer programs. This paper describes the logic model, goals, program implementation, and comprehensive plans for quantitative and qualitative evaluation. ResultsPreliminary results of both quantitative and qualitative assessments of the New York BIB program indicated that positive change can take place on individual bases between youth and officers, with development of mutual trust and understanding, correction of prejudicial attitudes, and reduction of youth criminal behavior. ConclusionsEarly findings of the BIB program showed promise for additional success. The evaluation described here accounts for measurement and input regarding all of the BIB program goals. With input from advisors in many related fields, each component of the evaluation has been refined to capture both quantitative and qualitative elements for tracking and improvement toward greater success. The BIB program offers young people not only opportunities for mentors but also more positive police branding and the building of mutual trust. The program brings responsible adults into challenging neighborhoods, and evaluations are necessary to track progress and institute improvements.

Facilitators and barriers to implementing antimicrobial stewardship programs in public South African hospitals.

The South African National Department of Health released guidelines and recommendations for antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs to be established in public healthcare facilities. Their implementation remains challenged, especially in North West Province, where the public health system functions under severe strain. This research explored and interpreted the facilitators that strengthen and barriers that hinder the implementation of the national AMS program in public hospitals in North West Province. A qualitative design and interpretive descriptive approach enabled insight into the realities of AMS program implementation. Public hospitals in North West Province, sampled through criterion sampling (n = 5). Purposive criterion sampling of healthcare practitioners (n = 30) actively participating in AMS programs in the 5 sampled public hospitals. Qualitative, interpretive description with semi-structured individual interviews that were digitally recorded and transcribed. The ATLAS.ti version 8 software facilitated content analysis, followed by second-level analysis. In total, 4 themes, 13 categories, and 25 subcategories emerged. We detected dissonance between government AMS ideals and the realities of AMS program implementation in public hospitals. A multilevel AMS leadership and governance vacuum exists in a dysfunctional health ecosystem in which AMS must operate. Healthcare practitioners agreed on the importance of AMS despite different understandings of AMS and ineffective multidisciplinary teams. Discipline-specific education and training are essential for all AMS participants. AMS is essential yet complex, and its contextualization and implementation are underestimated in public hospitals. Recommendations are focused on a supportive organizational culture, contextualized AMS program implementation plans, and changes in management.

The academic supervision in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers

This study aimed to examine teachers' abilities in organizing, implementing and overcoming obstacles to implementing academic supervision programs to enhance their pedagogical competence. Using observation, interviews, and documentation studies, qualitative methods, and data gathering approaches were utilized for data collection. The subjects of the study were the principals of three high schools in Aceh and the biology professors from each school. The results demonstrated that the planning was developed through conversation with the teacher to identify problems, implementation approaches, and clinical supervision implementers. The program implementation plan incorporates all Education Office personnel, managers, and school principals. However, many teachers still do not understand academic supervision, both in terms of how it is implemented and its function, and there is a lack of supervisors to solve academic supervision problems. However, the implementation of academic supervision is facilitated by the high willingness of teachers to carry out academic supervision and their strong support from the Department of Education

Using Intervention Mapping to Develop a Theory-Based Intervention to Promote Colorectal Cancer Screening in Egypt.

Background:Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates are increasing in Egypt. Because no national screening guidelines exist, developing an effective evidence-based screening intervention could lower rates by early detection of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions and polyps. This paper describes the development of a CRC screening intervention in Alexandria, Egypt using Intervention Mapping (IM). Materials and Methods:Between September 2019 and March 2020, the successive steps of the IM process were completed. Beginning with the needs assessment, we conducted a literature review, held focus groups with residents of Alexandria, and conducted interviews with local gastroenterologists and oncologists. Program objectives and target audience were determined before designing the program components and implementation plan. Using the PRECEDE-PROCEED theoretical model, predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling screening barriers were assessed. Finally, we developed a Standard Operating Procedures manual detailing aspects of the intervention and evaluation to serve as a model for an expanded screening program. Results:The needs assessment, e.g., literature review, seven focus groups (N=61 participants) and interviews (N=17 participants), indicated that barriers among residents included CRC knowledge deficits, fear/anxiety regarding testing, high cost, and lack of accessibility. Physicians believed CRC testing should only be performed for high risk individuals. Findings from each step of the process informed successive steps. Our final intervention consisted of training components for medical students (Health Champions) who would deliver the intervention to patients in primary care waiting rooms, providing short descriptions of CRC risks and screening, educational brochures, and distributing vouchers for no-cost guaiac fecal occult blood test kits. Health Champions would then follow up with the patients, providing results and referrals for no-cost colonoscopy testing for those with abnormal results. Conclusion:Utilizing the IM steps successfully led to development of a theory-based CRC screening intervention for Egypt. Next steps include the implementation of a feasibility pilot intervention.

Good News! Indigenous HPV Vaccine on Shelf by this Year End what India Must do to Hasten Cervical Cancer Elimination by 2030?

In May 2018, the WHO announced a global call for action to make elimination a reality and calling for all stakeholders to unite behind this common goal. Vaccination against HPV and screening and treatment of pre-cancer lesions are cost-effective ways to prevent cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, introduced in many countries in the past decade, have shown promising results in decreasing HPV infection and related diseases, such as warts and precancerous lesions. However currently, vaccine’s coverage, in low- and middle-income countries including India is very low to show any impact in the next 2-3 decades. Govt. of India had launched a National Cancer Control Programme in 1975, revised its strategies in 1984-85 and again under National Health Policy 2017. While it stresses on primary prevention for Tobacco related cancers, addresses only secondary prevention of cancer of the uterine cervix, mouth, breast etc. and tertiary prevention of therapeutic services including pain relief. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with an estimated 604 000 new cases and 342 000 deaths in 2020. About 90% of the new cases and deaths worldwide in 2020 occurred in low- and middle-income countries. India accounts for about a fifth of the global burden of cervical cancer with about 1.25 Lakh cases and 67,000 deaths every year. Cervical cancer in India ranks as the second most frequent cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age. Most cervical cancers are associated with human papillomaviruses, a sexually transmitted disease. HPV vaccination has been attempted in the sates of Delhi, Punjab, Odisha on a pilot project mode. So far, the cost of the vaccines (US 60-80 $) has been prohibitive for an average Indian. Coupled with Poor awareness even among educated and affordable population and the cultural hurdles of vaccinating young girls for a condition that manifests after 40 years is a communication challenge. The first hurdle in India of production of affordable indigenous HPV vaccine has been achieved (5 September 2022) recently opening a big opportunity. Governments (both federal and provincial) must make all-out efforts vaccinate all eligible females of the country; we owe it Indian women! In my opinion India must introduce pan-gender vaccination programs and start tracking all HPV-related (head and neck and anal) cancers and evaluate impact of HPV every decade for the next 50 years. A Mission mode is required to cover all the eligible in the next 2-5 years paid by the government (for at least below poverty line -BPL) families and provision of education through education system and social mobilization on a large scale are the key strategies to achieve this goal. This manuscript is a review the status of Cervical cancer, screening and diagnostic efforts, HPV vaccination status and recommends the way ahead to achieve national commitment for elimination of HPV related cervical and other cancers by 2030. Materials & Methods: GOI annual reports, HPV vaccination project efforts and outputs and Program implementation plans and Campaign approaches of vaccination under NHM, Indigenous vaccine producers’ statement and DCGs clearance.

A Novel Approach to Promote Evidence-Based Development of District Maternal and Newborn Health Plans in Two States in India.

Background:Maternal and child health implementation plan development in districts of India lacks systematic process and capacity resulting in suboptimal health improvements. There is ineffective and limited participation and lack of autonomy to effect changes in district priorities.Objectives:Primary objective was to demonstrate a systematic planning approach to develop evidence-based district implementation plans for mothers and children.Methods:A planning tool named RAASTA (RMNCH + A Action Agenda using Strategic Approach for evidence-based district work plans) adapted from WHO (World Health Organization) program review tools was used in the states of Uttarakhand and Jharkhand. The tool was implemented in the two states for the development of implementation plans in a 6-step process by prioritizing district health goals; reviewing maternal, neonatal, child, and family planning intervention coverage; and linking them with activity implementation status; assessing strengths, and weaknesses of previous implementation plans and developing solutions based on current gaps in intervention coverage's.Results:Tool was used for capacity building of 59 participants and also identification of prioritized activities based on their available data. Several newer activities were identified. The districts mainstreamed them as action plans, many of which were incorporated in the state Program Implementation Plan for budgetary provisions under state NHM (National Health Mission) funds.Conclusion:The use of a tool facilitated the systematic development of evidence-based district implementation plans.

Dampak Program CSR Binaan PT Pertamina RU II Sungai Pakning: Analisis Social Return on Investment (SROI) dan Sensitivitas

The purpose of this study is to see the impact of the CSR program of PT Pertamina RU II Sei Pakning through the analysis of Social Return on Investment and sensitivity. This research is descriptive quantitative by utilizing primary and secondary data. Primary data consists of data obtained from processing observational data and secondary data obtained from various literature sources. Based on the results of the SROI calculations for the four programs, it can be concluded that the social investment made for each program is feasible because all programs have a positive SROI score (more than 1) during the program implementation plan. In accordance with the results of the SROI calculation analysis, four programs from PT Pertamina RU II Sungai Pakning have generated benefits that are greater than the program costs. However, there are still opportunities to increase and expand the scope of benefits from the four programs.
