PERAN EDUKASI PENCEGAHAN KEKERASAN SEKSUAL TERHADAP PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN ORANG TUA ANAK TUNARUNGU
No full textKekerasan seksual merupakan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang berdampak serius terhadap kesehatan fisik, psikologis, sosial, dan akademik anak. Anak tunarungu memiliki kerentanan lebih tinggi akibat hambatan komunikasi, keterbatasan literasi seksual, serta kesulitan dalam mengungkapkan dan melaporkan tindakan berbahaya, sehingga peran orang tua menjadi kunci utama dalam upaya pencegahan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pengembangan dan pemanfaatan media poster yang dirancang secara khusus sesuai karakteristik keluarga anak tunarungu, dengan pendekatan komunikasi visual untuk meningkatkan literasi seksual, pemahaman tanda bahaya, dan strategi pencegahan oleh orang tua, berbeda dari penelitian sebelumnya yang umumnya menggunakan media visual secara umum tanpa penyesuaian kebutuhan khusus. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh edukasi kekerasan seksual berbasis media poster terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan orang tua anak tunarungu. Metode yang digunakan adalah quasi experimental dengan desain One Group Pretest–Posttest Design pada 46 orang tua siswa tunarungu di SLB B Tunas Harapan Karawang. Pengukuran dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner 20 item pada pretest dan posttest, dengan analisis data menggunakan Uji Wilcoxon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan yang signifikan, ditandai dengan kenaikan median dari 10,00 menjadi 20,00 dan p-value 0,000 (p 0,05). Edukasi berbasis poster efektif meningkatkan pemahaman orang tua mengenai definisi, bentuk kekerasan seksual, tanda bahaya, bagian tubuh pribadi anak, dan langkah pencegahan. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya edukasi visual yang kontekstual dan berkelanjutan bagi orang tua sebagai fondasi perlindungan anak tunarungu dari kekerasan seksual
Understanding Indonesian Organizational Culture through Hofstede Insights: A Comparison with Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand
No full textPurpose: Despite having the largest population and human resources in the ASEAN region, Indonesia still lags in terms of productivity compared to countries such as Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. This fact highlights a fundamental issue that is not only technical and economic but also closely tied to the organizational culture embedded within the work system. The objective of this study is to analyze Indonesia’s organizational culture using the Hofstede Insights approach, supported by the Culture Compass as an analytical tool, and to compare Indonesia's condition with those of other Southeast Asian countries that exhibit high labor productivity.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a descriptive quantitative method, supported by data obtained using an AI-based Culture Compass instrument, developed from Hofstede’s organizational culture indicators and calibrated to the local context.Findings: This study reveals that Indonesia's low labor productivity is closely linked to cultural factors, including high power distance, strong collectivism, short-term orientation, and low indulgence. Compared with Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, Indonesia’s organizational culture is less adaptive to contemporary work demands, thereby hindering innovation, leadership participation, and talent development. Strategic cultural transformation is essential to improve human capital competitiveness

Potential Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Outpatients in Palembang: a Retrospective Study
No full textThis study aimed to identify and describe potential drug–drug interactions (DDIs) among outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at Hospital X (Palembang, Indonesia) by analysing patient characteristics, patterns of antidiabetic drug use, comorbidities, concomitant medications, and the severity of potential interactions. A descriptive retrospective design was applied using secondary data from outpatient medical records during January–December 2024. From a total of 1,486 records, 316 eligible records were included based on predefined inclusion criteria, with the minimum sample size determined using Slovin’s formula. Potential DDI severity was categorised into major, moderate, and minor. Most patients were female (66.13%) and aged ≥60 years (51.58%). Metformin was the most frequently prescribed antidiabetic drug (25.38%), followed by insulin Apidra (15.45%), insulin Sansulin (14.12%), and glimepiride (12.78%). Potential DDIs were identified in 255 patients (80.69%); across 649 interaction events, most were moderate (93.52%), followed by minor (5.72%) and major (0.75%). The remaining 61 patients (19.31%) had no potential DDIs. Overall, the high utilisation of multi-drug regimens in outpatient T2DM care is associated with substantial exposure to potential DDIs, predominantly of moderate severity, underscoring the need for routine medication review and therapeutic monitoring to improve medication safety, with clinical pharmacists playing an important role in supporting prescribers
Community Understanding of Household Emergency Medicines for Flood Preparedness in Lekobalo Urban Village, Gorontalo City, Indonesia
No full textFlood events in Gorontalo City repeatedly generate acute health risks and disrupt access to routine healthcare, making household-level preparedness particularly the availability and appropriate use of emergency medicines an essential component of disaster risk reduction. This study assessed community understanding of household emergency medicines for flood preparedness in Lekobalo Urban Village, Gorontalo City, Indonesia, using a cross-sectional design. A total of 95 residents were recruited by purposive sampling and completed a 24-item questionnaire covering four domains: knowledge of emergency medicines, medication procurement behaviour, medication use, and information sources; the instrument demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.958). Overall, community understanding was predominantly moderate (55.8%), followed by low (27.4%) and high (16.8%) categories, indicating that preparedness knowledge and practical medication readiness remain suboptimal in a substantial proportion of households. Descriptive comparisons suggested variability across sociodemographic characteristics, implying that targeted health education and community-based pharmaceutical counselling may be required to strengthen household readiness before, during, and after flood events. These findings support the integration of structured risk communication on essential emergency medicines into local disaster preparedness programmes, aligned with primary healthcare and community pharmacy engagement.
Pemberdayaan PKK Desa Lebak melalui Aplikasi WoTaS untuk Mewujudkan Green Economy
No full textThe development of a green economy in rural areas requires active community participation, particularly from women’s groups, supported by digital transformation and environmentally friendly technology. However, the Women’s Welfare Movement Group (PKK) of Lebak Village, Jepara Regency, faces several challenges, including reliance on conventional agricultural practices, low digital literacy, and the absence of online media for promoting local agricultural products. Therefore, this community service program aimed to empower PKK members through the application of aquaponic technology and the utilization of the Wonderful Taman Sari (WoTaS) digital application to enhance productivity and support sustainable economic practices. The program employed a participatory–educative approach implemented in five stages: socialization, aquaponic technology training, WoTaS application training, intensive mentoring, and evaluation. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills, with an average achievement rate of 91.9%. All participants (100%) were able to operate a simple aquaponic system, while 80% successfully used the WoTaS application independently to promote local products. In conclusion, this program effectively increased community productivity and digital literacy while strengthening the role of rural women in supporting a sustainable green economy
