Reducing HIV stigma and discrimination towards people living with HIV among healthcare workers at Primary Health Clinic
Full text linkStigma and discrimination (S&D) towards people living with HIV (PLHIV) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in primary care are evidenced by discriminatory attitudes and perceived discrimination by PLHIV. Addressing this issue is crucial for improving patient adherence to treatment plans and achieving the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. This project aims to determine the factors contributing to S&D towards PLHIV among HCWs in primary health care. The study consists of five phases, including four quantitative and one qualitative observation, conducted from September to December 2020. Two phases focused on staff training to measure knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP), concluding with an in-depth interview. An audit of laboratory forms assessed labeling practices, and the ‘My Journey Survey’ identified areas associated with discrimination. Results showed that HCWs without training demonstrated more S&D. Paramedics and pharmacists had moderate to high knowledge scores, but their attitudes and practices were average. The bleeding room and pharmacy were identified as areas with acts of discrimination. Several interventions were implemented to improve HCW knowledge and practices, eliminate labeling practices, and enhance patient education and treatment literacy. Post-intervention surveys revealed significant improvements in most S&D domains among HCWs, with the achievable benefit not achieved (ABNA) gap closed from 19% to 0%. In conclusion, multi-pronged and consistent interventions are necessary to eliminate discrimination among HCWs towards PLHIV, focusing on increasing knowledge, changing work processes, and continuous promotion of awareness.
 
Do public health indicators affect life expectancy?
Full text linkIndonesia has implemented a decentralization policy since the end of the Soeharto era. Decentralization gives central government tasks to local governments. Local governments are obliged to manage, develop regions, and improve the welfare of their people. Each region has its own policies in improving the health of its people. To monitor the achievement of the success of the health system in each region, a clear and broad picture is needed. One of them is the index. East Java is one of the provinces with the highest population in Indonesia. This study aims to see whether the indicators of Public Health Development in East Java have an influence on life expectancy. The results of the study showed that complete immunization and the proportion of doctors to residents in 1 sub-district have an influence on life expectancy. To improve immunization achievement, the government has launched various programs. The government is also carrying out equal placement of doctors through various health programs. The indicators measured are used as monitoring and evaluation materials for programs that have been carried out. Further research is needed regarding the relationship between regions and life expectancy
