During the Covid-19 pandemic, elementary schools (SD) in Indonesia were required to take school lessons online. However, many teachers do not know how to teach effectively for their students. This condition causes many parents of elementary school students confused in children's learning assistance. Another condition is poor communication with the teachers. In addition, teachers also need to prepare their students for reopening schools through teaching about Healthy and Clean Living Behavior, named PHBS in Bahasa. This service aims to empower elementary school teachers; in this case the subject is the teacher at SDN 03 Kampung Olo so that they can make interactive and interesting health education learning videos. Trainers taught about the use of simple media for making instructional videos such as screen recording technology and video editing using smartphones and laptops for education such as Canva and Filmora. The trainer also provided learning videos, booklets, and helps to provide a learning studio in the form of a green screen and audio microphone. Then this workshop produced a learning video about Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors for students. The result of this activity was an increase in the knowledge and skills of teachers of SDN 03 Kampung Olo, Nanggalo, Padang in making interactive learning videos and clean living habits (PHBS) and it is hoped that it can increase the awareness of teachers, students and parents of students with PHBS.
An unprecedented outbreak of the newly emerging infectious disease of Covid-19 with rapid increases globally and in Indonesia may result in psychological distress among nursing staff. The present study aimed to identify psychological responses among nurses in the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. A cross-sectional data were collected from 535 nurses working in 119 hospitals from 24 provinces in Indonesia using Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42) and sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were collected using an online survey and analyzed with descriptive and Chi-squared tests. Analysis showed among the respondents, 23.7% (n = 127) had moderate anxiety, 6.5% (n = 35) had moderate stress and 8.8% (n =47) had moderate depression. Anxiety, stress, and depression were significantly higher among nursing staff in the emergency department and Covid-19 isolation ward. Nursing staff, especially those working in the departments mentioned above, were more susceptible to psychological impairment. Effective strategies toward improving their psychological status should be provided among the nurses.Keywords: Covid-19 pandemic, psychological responses, work stress
Background: After one year of the pandemic, Indonesia experienced a crisis where the addition of COVID-19 cases increased significantly in several big cities; it made the healthcare system collapse, including the intensive care unit (ICU) service for COVID-19. ICU nurses, who are at the frontline of fighting against COVID-19 and defusing this crisis, are faced with various challenges in providing care for COVID-19 patients, and exploring such challenges are significant. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the challenges experienced by Indonesian nurses who work in the ICU caring for COVID-19 patients.Methods: A multi-centered-qualitative study with a descriptive phenomenological design was used. Twenty nurses working in the ICU of COVID-19 in eight COVID-19 referral hospitals in seven major cities in Indonesia were recruited using purposive sampling. Semi-structured individual video call interviews were conducted to collect the data from July-September 2021. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s (1978) method.Results: The nurses reported the challenges throughout caring for COVID-19 patients in ICU, which are described in four major themes: (a) working under pressure and moral distress, (b) choosing to do the best, (c) adaptation, learning, and research, and (e) survive physically and mentally healthy.Conclusion: This study describes the challenges experienced by nurses working in ICUs during the COVID-19 crisis, such as working under pressure, facing dilemmas caring for patients, and trying to survive working in inadequate professional conditions. An in-depth understanding of these challenges in the current pandemic can help managers in the hospital to provide psychological support, adequate training for ICU nurses, and high-quality protocols for upcoming emergency scenarios, as well as maximizing resource management (human and material).
Purpose:The implementation of home-based palliative care has been recognized as a commendable care model. However, it is noteworthy that families residing in Indonesia exhibit a propensity to predominantly seek palliative care services within hospital environments for their family members afflicted with palliative cancer. Therefore, this research’s aims is to explore the family members' perceived in their decision-making process of caring for the patients at the home of palliative cancer patients. Method This study qualitative study used a descriptive phenomenological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 10 Indonesian family members of the palliative cancer patients refusing the discharge and analyzed by using the Collaizi method. Furthermore, the Inclusion criteria were a dominant family who cares patient and lives with patient. Results Three themes emerged in this study; are (1) lack of support in the decision-making, (2) Families rely on hospitalsand (3) pain and chronic sorrow. Conclusions Nurses should engage in collaborative partnerships with healthcare providers to inform about patient condition and goal of care. Nurse also need to facilitate families' decision-making processes regarding home palliative care. Implications for cancer survivors: The implications of this study align with the nursing profession's commitment to patient-centred care and the promotion of shared decision-making. By actively involving family members in the decision-making process and supporting their emotional well-being, nurses can contribute to enhancing the overall quality of care for palliative cancer patients in the home setting.
Early detection of cancer begins with increasing public awareness about abnormalities in the breast through the breast self-examination (BSE) program. The interest of young women in seeking information about breast cancer is still so low that the purpose of this activity is to provide health education on breast cancer awareness and demonstrations of doing BSE to students of SMPN 24 Padang City. The health education method is Virtual Reality Technology and BSE demonstration using mannequins. Participants were given a pretest and posttest quiz to know the value of breast cancer awareness. This activity was held on Saturday, August 13, 2022, at SMP 24 Padang. The result shows increased breast cancer awareness among SMPN 24 Padang students. It is hoped that Virtual Reality (VR) technology will be used more in health education because it is one of the solutions that can help educators provide more fun learning.
