Maulina Pia Wulandari — 2023-12-29

The development of digital technology in communication and information is no longer unavoidable in the field of public relations. Public relations no longer sees big data and artificial intelligence as unfamiliar and intimidating entities. Public relations professionals must possess a comprehensive understanding of digital technologies, including big data and artificial intelligence, in order to effectively manage and navigate the technical and management aspects of their field. However, it is crucial for public relations to acknowledge the potential adverse consequences that may arise from the use of big data and AI. Indonesian PR practitioners currently lack the necessary skills and expertise in dealing with big data and AI. To address this gap, it is crucial to expedite the development of knowledge in the field of digital public relations and foster collaborations with various stakeholders. These efforts are essential for preparing future professionals in the field of public relations in Indonesia.

Prita Suci Nurcandrani — 2024-01-31

GERMAS (Healthy Living Community Movement) is a program initiated by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia to carry out comprehensive and holistic interventions to cultivate healthy living behavior in society. Regarding to this issue, several activities were launched in the forms of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative efforts as a continuum of care or integrated sustainable care in line with the spirit of community empowerment and increasing multisectoral action. This study is to examine the implementation of Management by Objectives (MBO) Theory of Peter Drucker through the Community Health Center (Puskesmas) in GERMAS program. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method with emphasis on triangulation of data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews and literacy studies. In-depth observations and interviews were carried out with the Youth Posyandu team leader at the Puskesmas North Purwokerto 2, Banyumas District Nutrition Expert, Banyumas District pediatrician, and 15 Youth Posyandu cadres as an implementation of the use of data source triangulation. The other data were obtained from written documents such as Basic Health Research, Government Regulations from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, Technical Instructions for Organizing Youth Posyandu from the Ministry of Health, as well as the results of internal meetings at the Banyumas District Service regarding the implementation of Youth Posyandu. The results revealed that, (1) The stages of top management commitment have been clearly defined and stated in Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 1 of 2017. (2) The participation stage is marked by the setting of more concrete goals, namely preparing for a demographic bonus in the 2020-2035 range, Golden Indonesia 2045, and threats to the mental and physical health of teenagers. The release of the Technical Guidelines for the Implementation of Youth Posyandu in 2018 by the Ministry of Health constitutes an indicator of guidelines for program implementation. However, at present the implementation has not optimally conducted in various Puskesmas. This is caused by a lack of human resources, daily routine work that takes up a lot of time, and other programs already running also need attention. (3) The communication stage is marked by the implementation of the program for adolescents. The importance of raising awareness regarding the crucial importance of this program is not easy because teenagers consider that the age of 10-19 years is a healthy and productive age, so invitations to join Posyandu are less attractive.

In conclusion, this study offers a profound insight into the role of new media, such as YouTube, in the creation of a distinct narrative experience. It encourages a scholarly discussion of the intersections of semiotics, identity, and technology in today's popular culture.

Preventing Dropouts in Tuberculosis Treatment with “Griya Bebas TBC”

Bhisma Dharma — 2024-01-31

Tuberculosis, a major public health issue, has received international attention and is included in the Sustainable Development Goals. With 969,000 recorded cases in 2021, Indonesia ranked second in the world for TB cases, after only India. This is a 145,000-case increase, or 17%, from 2020, creating a significant obstacle to achieving TB eradication by 2030. Dropout cases exacerbate this challenge, impeding progress toward tuberculosis elimination. Indonesia’s treatment success rate currently stands at 83%, falling short of the 90% target. Dropouts are linked to several issues, such as patient education about tuberculosis, lost motivation, drug side effects, and access to healthcare facilities. This situation underlined the importance of comprehensive support for patients, particularly from families, government entities, and healthcare facilities, to ensure consistent motivation for continuing treatment. The main solution is the provision of patient education, psychological support, and physical condition forming the foundation for the “Griya Bebas TBC” program. This study employed a literature review to outline the program’s framework. Griya Bebas TBC establishes a supportive environment to sustain patient motivation and deliver accurate information about tuberculosis, drug side effects, and treatment procedures. The primary objective of Griya Bebas TBC is to reduce the tuberculosis patient dropout rate by offering comprehensive information and fostering a supportive environment. The program adopts two complementary approaches: group interaction via popular social media platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram and community-based approach, and individualized engagement through online health consultation applications. WhatsApp, a globally prevalent social media tool, offers a conducive platform for disseminating information to patients. Utilizing social media platforms and applications addresses issues surrounding information dissemination and healthcare facility accessibility. Health workers engaged through these platforms can provide recommendations if a patient’s condition warrants further intervention beyond consultation.
