ABSTRACT
@#In 2015, Indonesia was ranked as the second-highest, with a percentage of 12.9%. Open Defecation Free (ODF) in Indonesia is still a problem, 33 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia are still not 100% verified as ODF. The purpose of this study is to make a management control of OD behaviour in Indonesia. This study’s literature was collected using Google Scholar and Pubmed search engines by entering keywords open defecation Indonesia, and buang air besar sembarangan. From review of published literature, it is found that several factors cause people to practice OD, namely environmental, socio-cultural, and economic factors. These factors become the basis for making OD model control with a logic model. The program was made with a button-up approach carried out through several activities, namely approaches to community leaders, youth, and local communities, monitoring potential areas for OD practice and cross-sector coordination, and making regional regulations.
ABSTRACT
@#Refugees worldwide have been a challenge to many countries. Threats of preventable immunisable diseases amongst children that disrupt the herd immunity have been a concern as many countries lack a structured national policy to administer full vaccines to these refugees. Full immunisation coverage not only protected the refugees but also safeguarded the children of the home country. We designed a collaborative university-based community service partnership with UNHCR and International-Organisation-for-Migration, implemented a practice-integrated immunisation service initiative with the local community. This paper described the implementation process of an immunisation project for the refugees using the evaluative Logic Model. This model diagrammatically shows the relationships between the program's objectives, program activities, process indicators, outcomes, and resources used. It applies to program planning, operation, evaluation and address questions for decision making. The aim was to provide refugees' children below 18-years the complete doses of the national scheduled immunisation. The immunisation was given in six refugees-learning-centres in a total of 31 visits. The workflow includes administering the immunisation, health education, triaging, data collection, and monitoring the children immunised. A total of 1116 children received full immunisation within a period of eighteen months. Vaccines given were Pentavalent, Hepatitis B, Tetanus-Diphtheria, and Mumps-Measles-Rubella. This project has achieved more than 80% immunisation coverage for all the vaccines except Pentavalent (<50%). The Logic Model is useful for developing, implementing, and evaluating knowledge co-production partnerships in the context of a community delivery system in this project.
ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to present a Logic Model (LM) of the "Vida Ativa Melhorando a Saúde" (VAMOS Active Life Improving Health) program for its application in community interventions in adults and old age in Brazil. The VAMOS program purpose is to motivate people to have a healthier lifestyle. It is divided in 12 group meetings usually held weekly, varying from three to five months of duration. VAMOS is guided by specific booklets and conducted by health professionals with prior certification. The LM consists of activities (advertising, meetings, community outreach), products (financial resources, promotion, increase in attendance) and short, medium and long term objectives (adoption of the program, knowledge and empowerment of participants). Participants of the VAMOS program maintained their physical activity levels for longer when compared with traditional and control groups. VAMOS is under expansion in Brazil, supporting behavior changes in order to reach a healthier lifestyle.
O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar o Modelo Lógico (ML) do programa Vida Ativa Melhorando a Saúde (VAMOS) para sua aplicação em intervenções comunitárias em adultos e idosos com o objetivo de motivá-los a adotarem um estilo de vida saudável. O VAMOS é desenvolvido em 12 encontros presenciais, com apoio de livretos, ocorrendo uma vez por semana, com duração prevista de três a cinco meses e conduzido por profissionais certificados. No ML estão presentes as atividades realizadas (publicidade, reuniões, alcance), os produtos (recursos financeiros, divulgação) e objetivos em curto, médio e longo prazos (adoção do programa, conhecimento e autonomia para um estilo de vida ativo). Os participantes do VAMOS têm mantido os níveis de atividade física por mais tempo quando comparados aos do grupo de exercícios físicos e de controle. O VAMOS está em expansão no país favorecendo mudanças de comportamento em busca de um estilo de vida mais saudável.
