Organization needs a leader who can response those changes toward right direction to sustain. This review is to identify a more comprehensive relation between the leadership role and change management in the organization and its associated factors drawing upon systematic review of literatures published in the last ten years.
Methods: This study used systematic literature review based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses) protocol to identify all the published articles using relevant keywords. We searched in Emerald Insight (2010-2019), Science Direct (2010-2019), and EBSCOhost (2010-2019) to retrieve relevant articles published in English language only between January 2010 and April 2019. The review used key terms and phrases associated with Leadership, Change Management, and Disruptive. The abstracts were reviewed according to inclusion criteria and quality assessment.
Results: From 16,658 authors finally include 6 papers in this review. By the review, we noted that it is almost impossible to avoid change although resistance to change is real. There is a positive relation between leadership role and successful change management. The most significant subject and contributor for the successful change are the culture of change within the organization and the effective communication between leaders and their subordinates. The hindrances of change are lack of authority, uncertainly of role and lack of time and focus from the leaders. The findings of the study can be relevant for variety of settings as the study was conducted across cultures and sectors.
Conclusions: Leaders need to understand and spread the ambience with their employee of 4 points; the clarity about the needs of change in their organization, the key alignments, complementary development strategies and critical enablement. The recommendation for future research is to review more leadership studies on disruptive era in health care sector only in order to get deeper understanding in homogeneity setting. For policy makers, it is suggested to design policy that enforces leaders to improve their leadership skill and updating knowledge.

Protected sex with paid sexual partner among married men in Indonesia
Get PDFBackground: Married men who are male clients of sex workers play an important role as "bridge population" of HIV infection from the concentrated epidemic population to the general population. This study aimed to investigate the protected sex with last paid sexual partner among currently married men in Indonesia.Methods: A nationally representative population-based survey, 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) which covered 33 provinces in Indonesia was applied in this study. Out of 9,306 currently married men, 510 records of married men who reported for ever paying someone for having sex were eligible for this study. A dependent variable was protected sex (i.e. condom use) at last sex with a paid sexual partner whilst independent variables consisted of socio-demographic factors, spousal communication on HIV prevention, knowledge of HIV prevention, and attitude of condom use. Binary logistic regression was applied for bivariate and multivariate analysis.Results: Prevalence of condom use with a paid sexual partner at last sex among currently married men was 27.86% [95%CI=23.89-32.20]. Based on multivariate analysis, married men were less likely to use a condom with a paid sexual partner if they aged 40 years old (OR=0.48; 95%CI=0.30-0.76) versus those aged < 40 years old and worked in some sectors: clerical (OR=0.22; 95%CI=0.08-0.61), sales (OR=0.40; 95%CI=0.17-0.95), agricultural/selfemployed (0.32; 95%CI=0.13-0.75), skilled manual (OR=0.38; 95%CI=0.18-0.79) compared to those working in professional/technical/engineering sectors. However, those who were from poorer (OR=2.28; 95%CI=1.08-4.82) and richest household (OR=3.08; 95%CI=1.32-7.20) were more likely to perform protected sex compared to the poorest ones. In addition, the likelihood of protected sex also increased when married men had spousal communication on HIV prevention (OR=1.84;95%CI=1.17-2.90), knew that using condoms can reduce HIV infection (OR=2.15; 95%CI=1.14-4.08) and had a positive attitude of using condoms can protect against diseases (OR=3.05; 95%CI=1.14-8.16).Conclusion: Since condom use with a paid sexual partner was low, interventional approach by providing HIV-related information targetting married men who are clients of sex workers is essential. The intervention can be integrated with the current existing programme on key affected population (KAP), such as FSWs as the potential sexual partner of married men.

Effect of red fruit oil soap (Pandanus conoideus LAM) as wound cleansing on wound healing and the number of bacterial colonies among Grade II Diabetic Ulcer Patients at Griya Qound Care Clinic Kudus, Indonesia
Get PDFBackground: Diabetic ulcer is an open wound on the skin layer to the dermis due to hyperglycemia and neuropathy. This condition often causes infection and becomes an inhibitor in the wound healing process. Red fruit oil soap can be used as an alternative cleansing to reduce the number of bacterial colonies and accelerate the wound healing process. This present study aimed to observe the effect of red fruit oil soap in the cleansing process to reduce the number of bacterial colonies and the wound healing process in grade II Diabetic ulcer patientsMethods: This is a quasi-experimental study with the pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design. Wound cleansing in the intervention group used 0.9% NaCl solution and red fruit oil soap with a pH of 5.74, while the wound cleansing in the control group used 0.9% NaCl solution. Bacterial colonies were assessed and the type of bacteria was observed by the swab method. The wound healing was assessed with Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) instrument for 14 days with observations every 3 days. Analysis test used Mann Whitney and Repeated Measure ANOVA.Results: There was no difference in the mean of the number of bacterial colonies between the wounds that were cleansed with 0.9% NaCl solution and red fruit oil soap and the wounds which were cleansed by using 0.9% NaCl solution (p> 0.05). The mean of the number of colonies in the intervention group until the 14th day reduced by 3.14x106 and in the control group was reduced h 1.40x106. There was a significant decrease in the wound healing scores in each group, in each assessment for 14 days.Conclusion: This study found that the wound cleansing using red fruit oil soap and 0.9% NaCl solution could reduce the number of bacterial colonies on the wound surface and accelerate the wound healing process among patients with grade II diabetic ulcer.
