Implementation of 2030 Free From HIV/AIDS Policy in Papua According to Van Metter and Van Horn Model: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The 2030 free from HIV/AIDS program is needed to clarify the direction of achieving its goals. The research objective is to examine the existing policy measures in Papua in particular and Indonesia in general. This study used a systematic review method. Data was filtered from Google search engine, with keywords: HIV/AIDS, Papua, and Van Metter and Van Horn Model. Documents were screened from Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and ResearchGate for the last 5 years (2016-2022) and government official documents, in Indonesian or English. The PRISMA diagram was used that include identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Included. The data were processed according to the Van Metter and Van Horn Model which includes 6 aspects: standards, policy sources, communication between organizations, characteristics of implementing agencies, environment, and performance. The 13 journals identified in the Included category show that HIV/AIDS is still major problem (journals no.1 to 13). The policy problems exist due to lack of the aspects of leadership and governance (n=2), facilities and facilities (n=2), communication (n=7), the willingness of implementing institutions (n=5), environmental issues (n=7) and performance problems (n=11). Meanwhile, the prioritized three problems were communication (n=7), environment (n=7), and performance (n=11) of the total journals in the Included category studied (n=13). Out of six policy aspects according to Van Metter and Van Horn model, 33% is problematic. The findings suggest more concrete steps on communication, environment and work performance to be needed in the implementation of 2030 free from HIV/AIDS program.

Improving adolescents’ HIV/AIDS prevention behavior: A phenomenological study of the experience of planning generation program (GenRe) ambassadors as peer educators

“…Hope for increased HIV/AIDS prevention behavior includes sustainability and the GenRe ambassador program partnering with other programs, online promotion of prevention programs, and efforts to foster healthy adolescent development. HIV/AIDS prevention’s decentralized nature requires policy action and effective implementation by regional HIV/AIDS Commissions (KPA), necessitating creativity and collaboration across sectors and institutions (Fauzi & Rahayu, 2018 ; Sukatemin et al, 2023 ). The findings of the study by Nurhidayah and ‘Aini ( 2019 ) are in line with this approach, i.e., that implementation by GenRe ambassadors is good enough in terms of strategy, meeting adolescent needs, improving understanding, increasing knowledge, enhancing adolescent behavior in daily life, and establishing a significant relationship between planning and success in GenRe programs in the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) of West Sumatra province.…”
