Background: Indonesia still ranks in the 10th largest stunting rate in the world. Research seeks to find new approaches to improve the quality of maternal behavior in providing nutrition to babies. Purpose of this study is to know the effectiveness of Interproffesional Collaboration. Methods: The study was conducted in Karanganom Klaten, Central Java, March-August 2019. This study was an experimental study with a quasi-experimental design on 90 respondents who had babies less than 2 years. The treatment is in the form of an Interproffesional Collaboration program (doctors, nurses, midwives, nutritionists, and sanitarians) which provide health promotion programs according to their respective professions for 3 months. The research instrument was a cognitive test, a questionnaire, and a of infants under two years of ageantrompomary examination sheet. Data were analyzed using Dependent t-test. Results: The mean value of knowledge about stunting increased from 31.44 to 80.22 (p = 0.001), knowledge about how to give nutrition to of infants under two years of age increased from 48.81 to 70.74 (p = 0.001), the attitude towards stunting changed from 9.68 to 16.52 (p = 0.001), and the behavior of providing nutrition was also getting better from 76.53 to 87.73 (p = 0.001). The results of the Dependent Paired t-test p = 0.001, proved that the Interproffesional Collaboration program (nurses, doctors, midwives, nutrition, and sanitarians) was effective in increasing the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of residents in preventing the risk of stunting. Conclusion: Interproffesional Collaboration is effective to increase knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of mothers of infants under two years of age (baduta) in an effort to prevent the risk of stunting and improve the nutritional status.
Background: Currently filariasis is one of the priority diseases to be eliminated. WHO in 2000 declared the Global Goal of the Elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis as a Public Health Problem by the Year 2020. The Indonesian government's policy is to gradually implement Filariasis Elimination Program through Filariasis Provision of Mass Drug Prevention (POPM) programs in filariasis-endemic districts/cities and management of filariasis clinical cases. Filariasis cases in Central Java in 2013 - 2016 tended to increase, including in Boyolali Regency. If this condition is not immediately treated properly, it can make it possible to end up with filariasis. Methods: Materials and methods. This research is a survey research with mixed-research or mixed research approach. Respondents were patients and families of filariasis sufferers, government stakeholders, and health stakeholders. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations. Results: Filariasis risk factors found were (1) lack of knowledge of patients and families about the treatment and prevention of transmission of filariasis (2) mosquito vector control has not been done well (3) Home environment conditions (3) Still found gaps or gaps between health sector stakeholders (4) There are still filariasis patients who have not carried out filariasis treatment properly. Conclusion: Risk factors for filariasis are individual factors, lack of efforts to control mosquito vectors, environmental factors, and the existence of gaps between health stakeholders.
Introduction: Globally, leptospirosis is still a major health problem in African and developing countries, including Indonesia. The best control effort is with prevention through health education. Health education with conventional methods is considered less effective, so there is a need to look for other health education methods.Methods: Aims of the research are to know the difference of effectiveness of health education methods between conventional classical method and dasawisma or peer group in (1) improvement of knowledge of leptospirosis disease prevention; (2) effectiveness in prevention of leptospirosis. Research is Quasi-Experimental research with a two-group control trial design. The sample consisted of 40 respondents treated by health education through dasawisma using a leptospirosis module as a media of Health Education, and 40 control group respondents who were given education using conventional method. Sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data were statistically analyzed with Independent T-Test.Results: (1) Meaning of treatment group = 21.77 higher than control group = 19.62 (2) Mean prevention effort of leptospirosis disease treatment group = 54.35 better than control group = 48.15 (3) Health education through dasawisma was effective to increase knowledge prevention of leptospirosis (t = 2.943; p = 0.004) (4) Health education through dasawisma was effective for increasing prevention effort of leptospirosis (t=4.695; p=0.001).Conclusion: Health education through dasawisma and leptospirosis module is significantly effective to improve knowledge of leptospirosis disease and in prevention efforts of leptospirosis.
