“…Higher values reflect higher PTSR, and thus poorer psychosocial health. Psychosocial counseling has been shown to mitigate the effects of disasters on psychosocial well-being, and efforts were made to strengthen mental health services in Aceh in the years following the disaster (Prasetiyawan et al 2006). We assess who obtained counseling.…”

The extent to which education provides protection in the face of a large-scale natural disaster is investigated. Using longitudinal population-representative survey data collected in two provinces on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, before and after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, we examine changes in a broad array of indicators of well-being of adults. Focusing on adults who were living, before the tsunami, in areas that were subsequently severely damaged by the tsunami, better educated males were more likely to survive the tsunami, but education is not predictive of survival among females. Education is not associated with levels of post-traumatic stress among survivors 1 year after the tsunami, or with the likelihood of being displaced. Where education does appear to play a role is with respect to coping with the disaster over the longer term. The better educated were far less likely than others to live in a camp or other temporary housing, moving, instead, to private homes, staying with family or friends, or renting a new home. The better educated were more able to minimize dips in spending levels following the tsunami, relative to the cuts made by those with little education. Five years after the tsunami, the better educated were in better psycho-social health than those with less education. In sum, education is associated with higher levels of resilience over the longer term.

“…It is shown that QOL among patients with mental disorders was rated good or very good by 90-92% of those who saw friends or family at least weekly, those who attended social or leisure events or facilities at least monthly and those who felt they had at least three people that they could count on. In contrast, 72-79% of those with poorer social support rated their quality of life as high [13]. Thus, cadres are expected to affect favorably to the perception, attitude, and support of community toward the patients with mental disorders, which, in turn, contribute to the QOL among the patients.…”

“…Although their QOL can be increased by the support from the community, it is possible that the negative experiences in meeting those who have mental health problems are confounded by stigma and poor access to mental health services [13]. It is shown that QOL among patients with mental disorders was rated good or very good by 90-92% of those who saw friends or family at least weekly, those who attended social or leisure events or facilities at least monthly and those who felt they had at least three people that they could count on.…”

In Indonesia, there are any community health volunteers called Kader. Although Kaders are members of mental health volunteer, they sometimes show negative attitude to psychotic persons, even they have already got some training about mental health. The aims of this study were to investigate 1) how is Kaders’s perception compare to the other countries, 2) how will they consult compare to the other countries 3) how is comparison of Kaders’ perception to mental disorder person between trained and untrained,. The method of this research is a descriptive explorative using survey study. This study was held on June to September 2013. It was conducted in five districts of Yogyakarta area with 619 respondents. The Questionnaires used contained three sections are follows; Part A is about Demographic Data, Part B two case vignettes (taken from MacArthur Health Module of the 1996 general Social Survey) and Part C about Kaders experiences. The perception of Kader as part of the community is lower than the general residence in the United States and Japan. The comparison between trained and untrained Kaders shown that trained Kaders has better perception toward patient with mental disorder. These results suggest that actual experiences in meeting the cases contributed to the improvement of Kaders’ perception better than the previous mental health training did. It might be Kaders with short experience are explored information Kaders should be trained with more structured curriculum and recruiting Kader is recommended to recruit the young generation.

“…In recent years, countries including Indonesia and Sri Lanka have established sustainable community mental health systems in disaster areas. 4,5 While Japan has an established mental health system, there is great room for improvement in community mental health especially in rural areas. In the existing situation, it would have been impossible for psychiatric clinics and hospitals to provide care to such large numbers of people.…”
