ABSTRACT
Introduction: The perception of Wellness in an Industrial ecosystem is a topic which has been seldom explored in the Industrial set up. Catering to a huge employee base in an industry sometimes becomes a tough nut to crack due to many factors like time constraints, lack of sensitivity or lack of drive. Objective(s): (i) To assess the overall wellness among industrial employees (ii) To assess its' impact on the general illness cases of the employees Material(s) and Method(s): It included regular multispeciality camps, conducting health talks, creating health challenges, single speciality camps, increasing visual presence and OHC Renovation. Result(s): The overall wellness events were increased by 60% and the increase in participation was found to be 92%. In terms of OPD numbers the employees per day decreased from about 222+ to 150+. The greatest point of observation was that though the in absolute numbers the increase of participation was mere 682;the decrease in OPD numbers was manifold. Now this difference was significant. Even if the number of increased wellness participants stopped coming to the OPD twice the reduction in numbers would be a mere 1364 which still does not explain the massive reduction of about 7 times this number. Conclusion(s): When there is a regular streak of wellness activities in an industrial set up it leads to the creation of wellness ambience and a second component, wellness idol generation which can be seen in subsequent years when the total OPD general illness cases fell by more than 90% with the help of COVID-19 Protocols.
ABSTRACT
The goal of the immunization program is to provide protection from diseases that can be prevented by immunization (PD3I), such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, hepatitis B, and measles. Therefore, optimizing the immunization coverage is very important. The coverage of complete basic immunization in Pekalongan District decreased to 88.4% in 2017, while 7 cases of measles were still found. Further, the coverage of immunization has been a challenge in the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The objective of this study was to analyze the complete basic immunization coverage in Pekalongan Regency using Rapid Card Check. This study used an analytic observational design with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative analysis was performed using chi-square analysis, while in-depth interviews carried out a qualitative analysis to explore further the reasons for not having immunization. The number of samples was 535 toddlers aged 10-26 months. The sample was selected based on random sampling techniques, and data were collected using Rapid Card Check instrument. The coverage of immunization was 71.6%, and only 2.1% did the immunization correctly. Based on the type of antigen, the highest immunization coverage was HB0 = 88.4%, and the lowest was measles = 74.4%. The highest immunization accuracy was the type of antigen HB0 = 85.4%, and the lowest one was Polio4 = 12.0%. The coverage of complete basic immunization in Pekalongan District is still below the national target (95%) in the Covid-19 pandemic era. Therefore, intensive efforts should be made to increase the coverage in the current ear © 2022 by SPC (Sami Publishing Company)
ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze risk communication related to Covid-19 conducted by three Provincial Health Offices on their Instagram account. This research used descriptive quantitative method with a content analysis approach. The study was limited to the first 6-month-period of crisis moments in Indonesia from March to August 2020. The unit of analysis were postings of three accounts of the Provincial Health offices on Instagram. The population of this study were 970 postings and the samples were 792 postings related to Covid-19 that were chosen using purposive sampling technique. The instruments were coding instrument which were organized in a codebook. It consists of 7 main codes based on previous established study. The main codes were modified into 20 subcodes. The code and subcodes were tested by 4 coders using Krippendorff 's alpha (α) for its intercoder' s reliability. All categories were reliable (α>0.8). The results showed that risk communication varied among three Provincial Health Offices and in some area needs improvement. The most types of postings were are in the form of posters with caption or posters only (66.5%) and the least types of postings were video or Instagram TV (0.1%). Some of the messages' target were made to provide information (46.6%) and only a few were aimed at building public trust. The most targeted audiences were general public (91.6%), while the least targeted audiences were organizations (0.1%). Covid-19 content in the form of behavior change education was the most uploaded postings (46.2%) while government policies related to covid-19 were very limited in the postings (3.5%). Most of the postings cited websites and or social media (54.9%) for references and scientific journals (0.3%) were the least cited. The most widely used message intonation was with positive intonation (84.8%). Instagram plays as an important complementary tool for risk communication by the government. Provincial Health Offices may add more postings that will improve public trust to the government in managing and handling Covid-19 problems and to improve the public engagement, understanding, and responses to Covid-19.
