Pregnant women and healthcare workers' perceptions on tuberculosis and screening: a cross-sectional study in Indonesia.

There is a scarcity of studies regarding the obstacles in tuberculosis (TB) screening in pregnant women. This study aimed to assess the perceptions of TB as a disease and TB screening among pregnant women and healthcare workers, describe pregnant women's perceptions on specific TB screening methods and explore associations between the perceptions of TB with the intention to have TB screening by pregnant women. A cross-sectional study was conducted at six primary healthcare centres in Yogyakarta Municipality, Indonesia among 240 pregnant women and 126 healthcare workers interviewed with a structured questionnaire about their perceptions. Perceptions were analysed as percentages and associated factors were tested by multivariable logistic regression. Most pregnant women and healthcare workers supported TB screening in pregnant women based on their perceptions of the susceptibility to or severity of TB and the benefits and risks of TB screening. Women who perceived the high susceptibility of TB disease and the benefits of TB screening were significantly more likely to have high intentions to accept TB screening in the future. Pregnant women's perceptions of TB and TB screening influenced their intention to be screened; however, appropriate testing methods for universal TB screening in pregnant women in areas with a high prevalence of TB require further studies.

Tobacco use among in-school young adolescents in Indonesia: Exploring availability, affordability, and accessibility.

The research on Indonesian adolescents' perception of tobacco control in schools is limited. This study aimed to explore the availability, affordability, and accessibility of tobacco among young adolescents in Yogyakarta Municipality, Indonesia, with a focus on advocating for school teenagers. Focus groups, comprising participants from diverse backgrounds and stakeholders, were conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to systematically collect varied data. The subsequent analysis employed a robust thematic approach, combining both inductive and deductive processes to ensure a nuanced exploration of emerging patterns and pre-existing frameworks. In addition to focus group data, the study incorporated insights from extensive field observations and research group discussions. The multifaceted approach enhanced the depth of analysis but also facilitated a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics. The findings of this study revealed that young adolescents found it extremely easy to purchase cigarettes from local markets. The smoking prevalence among young adolescents was relatively low, with only 10% of the respondents admitting to smoking. Although the Indonesian government has increased surveillance and regulations regarding smoking among young individuals, the actual implementation and effectiveness of these measures remain questionable. The existing anti-smoking approaches in Indonesia have been unsuccessful in curbing smoking among Indonesian school students. The study argues that it is crucial to recognize and value students' perceptions of smoking, as their knowledge of smoking is actively constructed. To address this issue, future anti-smoking education in schools should incorporate interactive sessions rather than solely relying on didactic approaches that highlight the harms of smoking. By engaging students in interactive discussions, they can actively participate in constructing their understanding of the consequences of smoking. Additionally, efforts should be made to enhance the implementation of tobacco control measures within schools and extend the reach of these measures to off-campus environments.

Protein Consumption In Communities Affected By Stunting In Daerah istimewa Yogyakarta

Inadequate protein consumption is characterized by a low intake of energy and proteinous foods, leading to stunted growth and negative public health outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors influencing consumer behavior in purchasing animal and vegetable proteinous foods in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY), as well as to analyze the relationship between protein consumption and these influentialfactors. A quantitative design was used along with a survey approach, involving both primary and secondary data. The study participants were selected using a non-probability sampling method. Data were collected through observations, interviews, literature studies, and documentations. Multiple linear regression analysis, including covariate tests, was then used for analysis. The results of the research showed that household income, the income of women, the number of family members, the number of children under the age of five, the age of women, and the distance from the house to the nearest shop/minimarket had a significant impact on protein consumption among households with stunted children in DIY. Furthermore, Gunung Kidul, Kulon Progo, and Sleman districts had protein consumption of <1 million Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), while Bantul Regency and Yogyakarta Municipality were >1 million IDR.

Depiction restoring women’s power through eatery names

Empowering women entails bolstering their mentality and state of mind, as patriarchy is founded not only on sexuality. Addressing a married woman with the name of her husband or first son is claimed to be a sign of respect. Woman’s public inclusion is also still considered undervalued, which is shown in the way they name eateries. This study, which unfolds eatery names in Yogyakarta Municipality in Indonesia and Malacca in Malaysia, two places with identical historical backgrounds, analysed women’s efforts to increase their bargaining position in society through the naming of their eateries. Although two eateries do place women in a strong position, many of them still struggle to achieve women’s positionalities and social respect.

Awareness and perception of Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti as a dengue co¬ntrol method among residents of Yogyakarta Municipality

Dengue is an important communicable disease in Indonesia with an escalating annual incidence. Between 2016 and 2017, a new dengue control method using Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti was implemented in Yogyakarta Municipality. This study aimed to assess community awareness and perception about Wolbachia-infected Ae. aegypti release as a method of dengue control being implemented in their locality, and to identify the influencing factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2019 among 484 households in Yogyakarta Municipality. Data were gathered using an electronic data collection tool through face-to-face interviews and direct observations under written informed consent. Weighted estimation and finite population correction were applied in the analysis. Approximately, 23.4% of respondents were aware of the recent Wolbachia-based mosquito control program. After being informed about the nature of the control program, 58% of respondents expressed some concern about the possible harmful effects of the release of infected mosquitoes. Concern over possible harmful effects was associated with older age (aOR=1.76, CI=1.04-2.99), a smaller family (aOR=1.86, CI=1.17-2.95), low income (aOR=1.63, CI=1.04-2.57), having an open vegetated area adjacent to the house (aOR=2.02, CI=1.16-3.51), not being aware (aOR=2.26, 95% CI=1.28-3.98) and having low knowledge (aOR=3.00, CI=1.38-6.53) of the Wolbachia-based mosquito control program, and perceiving a recent increase in the mosquito population (aOR=2.94, CI=1.43-6.03). In conclusion, awareness of the Wolbachia-based dengue control activities was low two years after it was implemented, and low knowledge had a strong association with concern over the possible harmful effects of the release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes. Long-term community engagement efforts should be made to maintain public awareness and understanding of the Wolbachia-based biocontrol method.

Nutrition Education using Booklet Media with and Without Counseling and the Association with Home Food Availability and Parent Feeding Practices in Preschool Children

BACKGROUND: Fruit and vegetable consumption among preschool children in Indonesia is lower than recommendations, which may be due to types of food availability at home and unhealthy feeding practices such as restriction and parent pressure. Providing nutrition education through booklets and counseling on healthy food (fruit and vegetable) consumption can help to provide information to parent’s thus resulting healthy behavior, compared to merely providing booklets without counseling. AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nutrition education using booklets with counseling versus without counseling on home food availability and parent feeding practices in preschool children. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study utilized a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. Sampling methods included both purposive sampling and simple random sampling. Purposive sampling was used to select Danurejan district as the sub-district with the highest obesity percentage in Yogyakarta Municipality. Meanwhile, simple random sampling was applied to select children and schools (Early Childhood Education Program Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini [PAUD] or kindergartens Taman Kanak-kanak [TK]). There were 56 people (28 intervention and 28 controls) taken from 4 PAUD/TK. The intervention group received nutrition education using booklets as well as one 30–60 min counseling session carried out at the participant’s home. The control group was provided with booklets, but did not receive counseling. The pre-test was carried out before nutrition education was given, and the post-test was conducted 30 days after the nutrition education. Fruit and vegetable availability at home were assessed using questionnaire, and parent feeding practices were assessed using the Comprehensive Food Feeding Questionnaire. The statistical tests used to assess outcomes between groups included pair t-test, Wilcoxon, Mann–Whitney, and independent t-test. RESULTS: There were increase in healthy eating guidance and monitoring before and after nutrition education was provided in the intervention group (p = 0.00; p < 0.05), but no differences were found in restriction, child control, and parent pressure (p = 0.11, p = 0.48, p = 0.28; p ≥ 0.05). There was a decrease in child control behavior before and after nutrition education in the control group (p = 0.00; p < 0.05), but there were no differences in healthy eating guidance, monitoring, restriction, and parent pressure (p = 0.17, p = 0.18, p = 0.53, 0.62; p ≥ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstrate that using counseling in addition to nutrition education booklets can increase mother’s implementation use of healthy eating guidance and monitoring, with the potential to promote healthy weight within families.

Analysis of air quality changes due to large-scale social restriction policies (study case: Bogor Municipality, Yogyakarta Municipality, and Bantul Regency)

Air pollution is one of the environmental quality indicators. The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia happened in February 2020, so three area of the cities that had implemented a Large-Scale Social Restriction Policy (PSBB). This study aimed to analyse changes in air quality in Bogor Municipality, Yogyakarta Municipality, and Bantul Regency due to the PSBB based on the air pollutant standard index value. The determination of the air pollutant standard index value is based on critical parameters by calculating the air pollutant standard index value of all parameters referring to the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number P.14/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/7/2020. The concentration of the five parameters of the Air Pollutant Standard Index (ISPU) fluctuated from 2015-2020. The air pollutant standard index scores before PSBB implementation of the Bogor Municipality, Yogyakarta Municipality, and Bantul Regency PSBB were 59, 74, 87, respectively, whereas after implementation were 58, 36, 64, respectively. The Large-Scale Social Restriction Policy (PSBB) positively impacts air quality improvement in those three areas.

Mengurangi Risiko Jatuh pada Lanjut Usia dengan Latihan Keseimbangan

Background: Population of elderly in Indonesia continues to grow. Physical changes in the elderly cause balance disturbances, increasing the risks of falling.
 Objective: To determine balance training effectiveness on reducing risks of falls in elderly.
 Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with control and intervention groups. Functional Reach Test (FRT) and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) were used to assess balance function. The elderly in this study had risks of falling according to FRT and FES-I. Timed Get-up and Go Test was used to assess physical function. Education and balance exercises were given for 3 weeks to the intervention group. Pre-test data were taken at the beginning of the study, while post-test data after the balance training was given to the intervention group. Paired t-test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test data.
 Results: Research was conducted in Warungboto and Giwangan Kampongs, Umbulharjo District, Yogyakarta Municipality. Data from 60 elderly: 30 in the intervention and 30 in the control groups. Paired t-test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results in the intervention group on FRT (t=-16,301, p<0.001, and FES-I (t=-24,457, p<0.001). The three-week-balance-training significantly reduced the risk of falling in the intervention group. Significant difference was not found in the control group on FRT (t=-0.126, p=0.901), and FES-I (t=-0.764, p=0.451). There was no significant reduction in the risks of falls in the control group.
 Conclusion: Balance training is effective in reducing the risk of falls in elderly.

Identification of Coliform bacteria content in ‘Thai Tea' drinks and its correlation with hygiene factors in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Background: Various water-borne diseases have been seen in developed and developing countries, like Coliform bacteria in food and drink due to their poor making.Objective: This study aims to estimate the hygiene factors and examine the content of Coliform bacteria and in Thai Tea drinks in Yogyakarta Municipality.Methods: A cross-sectional method was used in all Thai Tea product sellers in Yogyakarta Municipality from September to November 2020. A total of 30 sellers were included, and 30 different types of Thai Tea products were tested using the Most Probably Number (MPN) method at the Health and Calibration Laboratory Center, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and Fisher exact test were used for data analysis.Results: Laboratory tests showed half of Thai Tea products contaminated with Coliform bacteria more than MPN/100ML. Of all Thai Tea sellers, about 83.3% of them were never hygiene food sanitation training. Findings also show that the seller's hygiene sanitation was significantly associated with the existence of Coliform bacteria in Thai Tea (Crude OR=0.44, 95% CI=0.20-0.98). The sellers with poor sanitation facilities were four times more likely to have Coliform bacteria in their Thai Tea products (Crude OR=4.0, 95% CI=1.41-11.35). Meanwhile, hygiene food sanitation training and location of selling did not have a significant relationship with the presence of Coliform in Thai Tea.Conclusion: In sum, the existence of Coliform in Thai Tea drinks in the city of Yogyakarta is influenced by the hygiene sanitation and sanitation facility. Training on personal hygiene for each seller is necessary to obtain Thai Tea products that contain Coliform bacteria according to standards. This is very useful to do to reduce food-borne disease. This study was funded by Ahmad Dahlan University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Contemporary urban development of Yogyakarta municipalitys peri-urban areas

The peri-urban areas of Yogyakarta Municipality have been designated as part of Greater Yogyakarta Urban Development through Yogyakarta Urban Development Project (YUDP) launched in 1989. This paper presents the results of the investigation and analysis on the contemporary urban development of the areas after more than two decades of planning and implementation of the program. Some districts show some spontaneous growth, more specifically those involving the change from agriculture lands to urban functions. Contemporary developments of Yogyakarta's peri-urban areas mainly produced by a mixture between urban activities, physical forms and some rural features, thus producing fragmented rural landscapes, indicated by unbalanced intensity of growth among the districts. Several identified factors are geographical location and conditions, population growth and demands for residential spaces, local regulations or policies, economic pressures, as well as education and tourism developments as the leading sectors in Yogyakarta.

Does love of money matter for innovative work behavior in public sector organizations? Evidence from Indonesia

PurposeThis paper aims to test the impact of public service motivation (PSM) and love of money (LOM) on innovative work behavior (IWB) and the moderating role of love of money on the relationship between PSM IWB in the public-sector environment.Design/methodology/approachA total of 400 sets of questionnaires were distributed to camat (district heads) and lurah (sub-district heads), civil servants in Yogyakarta municipality, Indonesia. The final sample selected for analysis was comprised of 241 paired data responses. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the study's hypotheses.FindingsThis study found that PSM does not positively influence IWB, whereas LOM does. This study also confirmed the moderating role of LOM in the relationship between PSM and IWB.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, the sample size is limited to civil servants working at districts (kecamatan) and sub-districts (kelurahan) in Yogyakarta municipality. Such a limited amount of sample may have an impact on the findings. Second, causal inferences are difficult to achieve as this study employed cross-sectional data. Longitudinal studies should, thus, be considered for future studies. Third, most respondents are 46–50 years old.Practical implicationsLeaders in public organizations should consider the living conditions of their civil servants when drafting policies to encourage innovative behavior. Theoretically, intrinsic motivation is the dominant factor that encourages people to behave innovatively. This theory, however, may not be viable when applied in a condition where civil servants face a difficult life as a result of their relatively low level of salary. Under such conditions, monetary reward policy can subsequently be an alternative to encourage them to behave innovatively.Social implicationsLeaders should carefully pay attention to this policy and follow what Tang and Ciu (2003) and Frey and Jegen (2001) suggest. As an LOM attitude can lead to improper behaviors (Tang and Ciu, 2003), monetary rewards should be used as a support rather than as a control in reference to the civil servants. Moreover, leaders should consistently maintain the sustainability of their monetary policy to improve IWB. This is because they have changed their focus to monetary rewards rather than intrinsic motivation. When this policy is terminated, it may impact the diminishing IWB.Originality/valueScholars and practitioners agree that IWB can help public-sector organizations improve performance. While most existing research has been conducted in the context of the private sector, this study investigates IWB in the context of public sector organizations. Previous studies have also indicated that the battle between two approaches, utilitarianism and romanticism, continues. Therefore, this study is designed to enrich the debate about this struggle between the two approaches in order to uncover ideas that help explain IWB in a developing country.

Education Budget Politics: Is It Pro-Disabilities? Case of Yogyakarta Municipality, Indonesia

This article aims to examine the education budget policy allocated for inclusive education programs, wherein providing a budget is highlights. In this context, Yogyakarta City government is submit because of its embracement unto inclusive budget post for education. This paper used a qualitative approach with document-analysis method to analyze the inclusive education budgets from 2017 to 2019. The research findings are; first, the budget allocation for inclusive education is considering to be minimal when compared to other program budget posts. In 2017, budget allocation was only 1.02%, in 2018 amounted to 1.05%, and in 2019 1.19% of six programs set out in the educational development program objectives. Second, a critical review of the budget and realization of 2017 to 2019 inclusive education program has found to be not optimal absorbed as desired achievement targets. Even so, the evaluation of budget absorption includes in the high category on performance appraisal. Third, the number of inclusive schools and the percentage of teachers according to qualifications from 2017 to 2019 has been increasing. Fourth, the budget for the education development program in 2017 to 2019 has declined. Nevertheless, more importantly, the budget heading for inclusive management education in 2017 and 2019 has increased. Therefore, this has proven that the Yogyakarta City government has committed to realize inclusive education and deserves to establish as a region that cares about inclusive education.
