“…In Ethiopia, childhood mental problems have been found to affect 12–25% of children [ 3 – 5 ]; these problems are found to be associated with disability, cost and poorer quality of life of children and their families [ 1 , 2 , 6 – 8 ]. Moreover, the treatment gap approaches 90% in low and middle income countries (LMIC), largely due to lack of detection of these problems and a severe shortage of trained manpower [ 9 , 10 ].…”

“…There is clear evidence of the beneficial role of community health workers in promoting immunization uptake, improving outcomes for acute respiratory infections and malaria care in LMIC [ 13 – 16 ]. There is also evidence that identification and treatment of mental disorders may be improved through training of HEWs [ 9 , 17 – 19 ]. Delivery of integrated care at the primary health care (PHC) level supported by HEWs may even reduce stigma and discrimination [ 17 , 19 – 21 ].…”

BackgroundCommunity health workers can help to address the substantial unmet need for child mental health care in low and middle income countries. However, little is known about their training needs for this potential role. The aim of this study was to examine training needs and perspectives of community health extension workers (HEWs) in relation to providing child mental health care in rural Ethiopia.MethodsThe study was conducted in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ Region of Ethiopia. A mixed methods approach was used. A total of 104 HEWs who had received training in child mental health using the Health Education and Training (HEAT) curriculum were interviewed using a structured survey. In-depth interviews were then conducted with 11 HEWs purposively selected on the basis of the administrative zone they had come from. A framework approach was used for qualitative data analysis.ResultsMost of the HEWs (88.5%; n = 93/104) reported that they were interested in the training provided and all respondents considered child mental health to be important. The perceived benefits of training included improved knowledge (n = 52), case identification (n = 14) and service provision (n = 22). While most of the participants had their training four months prior to the interview, over a third of them (35.6%; n = 37) had already organized mental health awareness-raising meetings. Participants in the qualitative interviews considered the problem of child mental disorders to be widespread and to cause a large burden to the family and the affected children. They reported that improving their competence and knowledge was important to address the problem and to tackle stigma and discrimination. Participants also listed some barriers for service provision, including lack of competence, stigma and institutional constraints. Opportunities mentioned included staff commitment, high levels of interest and a positive attitude towards providing the service.ConclusionsAlthough the HEAT training on child mental health was brief, it appears to have had some impact in improving knowledge and care provision. If the key barriers to service provision are addressed and supported by policy guidance, community health workers may contribute substantially in addressing the treatment gap for children with mental health needs.

BackgroundThis study aimed to assess undernutrition and associated factors among 24–36-month-old children in the slum areas of Bahir Dar city.MethodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 480 children from May 1 to 26, 2015. The simple random sampling technique was used to select respondents. Data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 was used for analysis. The prevalence of undernutrition was computed. Binary and multivariable logistic regression analyses were also carried out to identify the association between the independent and dependent variables and the predictors of undernutrition, respectively. A P-value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant in the final model.ResultThe prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting was 42%, 22.1%, and 6.4%, respectively. Independent predictors for stunting were illness in the preceding two weeks, having two children under three years old, taking prelacteal feeding, and early or late initiation of complementary feeding. Illness in the preceding two weeks, lack of latrine utilization, and lack of hand washing practice were independent predictors for underweight.ConclusionThere was a high prevalence of undernutrition in this study. Thus, health extension workers and health professionals in Bahir Dar city should educate mothers/caretakers on the health impact of giving prelacteal feeding, hand washing practice, time of initiation of complementary feeding, and birth interval.

“…Desain pembelajaran yang dimaksud memung-kinkan terjadinya proses pembelajaran secara berulang-ulang dan menuntut demonstrasi hasil pembelajaran secara langsung dengan pem-berian umpan balik. Unsur-unsur tersebut merupakan beberapa hal yang dapat memper-kuat suatu pelatihan dan mendorong keberhasilan peserta diklat (Murdoch-Eaton, 2015). Tulisan ini mendasarkan pada pembelajaran yang mengha-ruskan peserta diklat untuk mendemonstrasikan suatu kemampuan secara berulang-ulang dalam satu hari.…”

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk: (1) memberikan gambaran tentang pengembangan pendekatan pendidikan dan latihan bahasa Inggris berbasis pengembangan diri; dan (2) memberikan gambaran tentang pengembangan pendekatan praktik pembelajaran bahasa Inggris berbasis pengembangan diri untuk mengembangkan kapasitas peserta diklat. Beberapa temuan menunjukkan bahwa diklat bahasa Inggris selama ini lebih menitikberatkan pada penguasaan bahasa dan pengajaran bahasa Inggris. Berdasar hal tersebut, dikembangkan pendekatan dengan fokus pada pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang mengarahkan pada optimalisasi pengembangan diri pribadi melalui tugas-tugas yang dilakukan. Kajian dalam tulisan ini dilakukan dengan studi pustaka secara komprehensif terhadap sejumlah referensi terkait dengan konsep diklat, konsep pengembangan diri, dan teori belajar. Kajian tentang konsep diklat menunjukkan bahwa desain dan konten diklat harus disesuaikan dengan perkembangan zaman yang bertujuan untuk mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir peserta diklat dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan yang dihadapi. Konsep pengembangan diri menunjukkan bahwa melalui praktik kebiasaan sehari-hari yang baik akan membuat kapasitas peserta diklat berkembang.
