The present study evaluated an Outward Bound Singapore five‐day “intercept” program for 136 adolescent participants, aimed at addressing frequent deliberate truancy and absenteeism from school and within‐school extracurricular activities using a quasi‐experimental design with a matched no‐treatment comparison group. Findings suggested that there is some preliminary evidence that such a program could yield positive outcomes in terms of adolescents being more behaviorally engaged in school as demonstrated by improved attendance of both academic and non‐academic activities up to 3 months after the conclusion of the intervention program. Goal setting had a short‐term positive effect with intervention participants improving significantly more so than comparison participants at 1‐month post intervention but not at 3‐month follow up. For problem solving, although the intervention group participants improved more than comparison participants at both 1‐month post intervention and at 3‐month follow up, these effects were not statistically significant. Research and practice implications were discussed.
Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut (ISPA) adalah penyakit pernapasan yang bersifat akut dengan berbagai macam gejala (sindrom). Laporan Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bogor periode Januari hingga Maret 2015 mengalami peningkatan kasus setiap bulannya dengan rata-rata 416 kasus per bulan dan kasus terbanyak ditemukan pada usia di bawah lima tahun. Berdasarkan data Puskesmas Semplak (2014) ISPA sebanyak 4.766 kasus atau 397 kasus per bulan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan faktor lingkungan dengan kejadian ISPA pada balita di Puskesmas Semplak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan rancangan studi cross sectional. Dari 3.130 populasi didapat 45 sampel penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara faktor lingnkungan: yaitu pencahayaan kamar tidur (p = 0,148), kelembaban kamar tidur (p = 0,142), dan suhu kamar tidur (p = 0,148) dengan terjadinya ISPA pada balita. Diupayakan masyarakat meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan dengan memperhatikan faktor lingkungan.
