Background: Street children are underprivileged urban children who suffer poverty, deprivation of education, vulnerability to various types of abuse, lack of supervision by adults, and with varying status of street-based existence and contact with their families. The study compares the socio-demographic and health profiles of children in a NGOrun Open House and street children. Methods: Respondents satisfying intake criteria were interviewed using a pre-tested questionnaire and their height and weight were measured and the data were statistically analysed. Results: 72% were aged between 12-16 years. Their occupations included rag picking, unorganised labour, street vending, cleaning vehicles, hotel work and begging. The reasons for street living were parental abuse, poverty, parental death, or peer pressure. Between the two groups of children, there were significant differences in frequencies of genital lesions (p=0.014; OR=0.465), injuries (p=0.01; OR=0.5), scabies (p=0.01; OR=0.31), and pyoderma (p=0.03; OR =0.38). A majority from both groups chewed tobacco regularly, some were addicted to more than one substance and had started using addictive substances due to peer pressure or to alleviate depression. Conclusions: Multi-pronged interventions ought to focus on improving income levels and housing of impoverished families, curbing parental abuse, and providing educational and health care facilities, establishing more number of drop-in Open Houses, providing avenues for legal income, and educating on the hazards of promiscuity and substance abuse.

“…Dari berbagai penelitian terdahulu, dilaporkan bahwa anak jalanan sangat rentan terhadap pelecehan seksual (Hai, 2014), perilaku seksual pra-nikah (Dwijayanti & Herdiana, 2011;Stojadinović, Batrnek Antonić, Perinović & Rončević, 2015), dan penggunaan narkoba (Hai, 2014;Bah, 2018).

This activity is part of the final project of the Atma Jaya Faculty of Psychology Community Based Education course. In this activity students as a group conduct problems and needs assessments, and design and implement a communication capacity building program in the management of NGO organizations that provide assistance to street children. The student group consists of five people, carrying out activities at the Bina Anak Pertiwi Foundation (YBAP) an NGO that provides assistance to street children. There are two stages of activities carried out namely, the first stage is the assessment of problems and needs, and the second stage is the intervention to increase the capacity of YBAP management and staff. During the problem and needs assessment stage, interviews were conducted with four key informants and problem tree analysis. The results of the problem and needs assessment show that communication between management, staff, and foster children is the main problem faced by YBAP in carrying out the program of activities to assist street children. At the intervention stage, management capacity building is carried out with a focus on communication. Capacity building was carried out through four activity sessions, namely the first "Who Am I", which aims to increase their awareness of themselves as a companion to street children. The second session "They need Us" which aims to raise awareness about who and how the characteristics they serve and assist. The third session is "Chitty chatty" which aims to improve verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and the fourth session is "Broken square" which aims at increasing empathy skills and the importance of commitment to achieving common goals. The whole process of activities is carried out by participatory methods through group dynamics games, and at the end of the game there is a "debriefing" so that all participants get "insight" on the group dynamic games that are run.ABSTRAK:Kegiatan ini merupakan bagian tugas akhir dari mata kuliah Pendidikan Berbasis Komunitas Fakultas Psikologi Unika Atma Jaya.

BackgroundStreet children are forced to spend a lot of time away from their homes and some of them do not have homes at all, due to economic and family problems, which makes them exposed to many health problems, such as the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Iran, like many other countries in the world, experiences the burden of street children, however, the rate of HCV among street children is virtually unknown. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HCV among street children in Iran.Main bodyThis systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The study protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO under identification term CRD42018082336. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify published studies reporting on the prevalence of HCV among street children in Iran. Several international scholarly databases, including Web of Science, PubMed®/MEDLINE®, Embase, Scopus®, Google Scholar and Directory of Open Access Journals, as well as Iranian databases such as MagIran and Barakathns were searched. Studies published between 1988 and December 2017 with any of the following keywords were selected: (street OR homeless OR labour) AND (children OR child OR infant) AND (hepatitis C OR hepatitis C virus OR HCV OR viral hepatitis OR hepatitis OR hepacivirus) AND Iran. Moreover, a grey literature search was performed in order to obtain other potentially relevant studies. The search was carried out without any language restrictions. Four studies, surveying a total of 1691 street children, conducted between 2006 and 2017 were found to be eligible for inclusion in the review and therefore analysed. Three studies were conducted in Tehran and one in Isfahan. The prevalence of HCV among street children in Iran was found to be high, at 2.4% (95% CI: 1.8–3.3).ConclusionsSince the prevalence of HCV among street children in Iran is quite high, health decision- and policy-makers should pay more attention to street children and widen support channels, both social and economic. Further studies should be conducted among street children in different cities of Iran to add to the knowledge base of HCV among street children in the country. The health system should provide facilities for street children to be screened to quickly diagnose illnesses and prevent them from developing complications.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s40249-018-0469-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
