Latar Belakang: Pada akhir 2019, virus Corona baru diidentifikasi sebagai penyebab sekelompok kasus pneumonia dan virus ini menyebar dengan cepat. Kemenkes RI mengeluarkan pedoman yang ditujukan bagi petugas kesehatan sebagai acuan dalam melakukan kesiapsiagaan menghadapi pandemik COVID-19. Tujuan: menilai persepsi (daya tarik, pemahaman, penerimaan, keterlibatan, keyakinan) tenaga kesehatan di Puskesmas terhadap Pedoman Pencegahan dan Pengendalian COVID-19. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Informan yang dipilih adalah tenaga kesehatan yang bekerja di Puskesmas pedesaan dan perkotaan. Informan diambil sebanyak 8 orang yang berprofesi sebagai kepala Puskesmas, bidan, petugas surveilens dan analis kesehatan. Hasil: Dari aspek daya tarik dan pemahaman secara keseluruhan informan mengatakan pedoman ini cukup menarik. Semua informan menyatakan bahwa setiap bab dalam pedoman dapat diterima. Pedoman ini dinilai sangat bermanfaat bagi tenaga kesehatan serta dapat dijadikan acuan dalam memberikan pelayanan di Puskesmas. Informan menyatakan bahwa pedoman ini ditujukan bagi tenaga kesehatan. Informasi dalam pedoman dipersepsikan dapat dipercaya serta meyakinkan. Kesimpulan: Persepsi tenaga kesehatan secara umum cukup baik dalam aspek daya tarik, pemahaman, penerimaan, keterlibatan individu dan keyakinan. Agar sesuai dengan perkembangan situasi saat ini, pedoman ini perlu diperbaharui. Disarankan juga menggunakan tata bahasa yang lebih teknis dan praktis, serta ada butir-butir, diagram/alur/bagan sehingga tidak menggunakan terlalu banyak kata-kata.[A1]  [A1]Udah dikurangi jadi 200 kata

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIB) has many benefits for both the baby and the mother. However, in Bogor City, there are still many babies who do not get EIB when they are born (33.6%). The implementation of EIB is not optimal due to the absence of standard procedures to equalize its theory and perception. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) flowchart media concerning the standard procedure for EIB implementation in the Primary Health Care PHC of Bogor City. A quasi-experimental research was conducted on 58 midwives divided into the intervention and control groups. The intervention group was given IEC flowchart media, the EIB standard procedure, whereas the control group was given a brief explanation about EIB. The results indicated that the intervention group (96.0) had a higher average EIB implementation score than the control group (84.7). Furthermore, the success rate of EIB was higher in the intervention group (93.1%) than in the control group (20.7%). In conclusion, the IEC flowchart media is effectively used to optimize EIB implementation by midwives in the Primary Health Care PHC of Bogor City.

Background: Consumption-related behavior implemented as an effort to maintain household food security is referred to as a food coping strategy (FCS). This study aims to describe the selection of FCS by families in urban and semi-urban areas in Indonesia. Method: This research is a cross-sectional study with a total sample of 517 people who live in urban (Jakarta) and semi-urban (Depok) areas. The research data was taken from primary research data that had been collected online and purposively through Posyandu cadres who had access to family/community. Data analysis used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results: More households in urban areas apply food security coping strategies (69%) compared to semi-urban areas (59.8%) In semi-urban areas, changes occur gradually from the lightest to the heaviest. Meanwhile, in urban areas, there were more severe strategies chosen, namely switching to other staple foods (78.7%), reducing eating in adults (75.3%), and reducing the frequency of eating (71.9% which is higher than reducing food portions (70, 2%). Results of multivariate analysis showed that the level of household food security (AOR = 12.182; 95% CI = 7.636 – 19.434) and spouse's education (AOR = 2.184; 95% CI = 1.091 – 4.375) were significantly related to the application of household FCS after being controlled by spouse's employment status, the number of working household members, household head’s education and household head’s income. Conclusion: The low level of household food security during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people's jobs and income have caused households to adapt by implementing several types of FCS.
