The Social

Although they are accustomed to discussing risks in the medical arena through the process of informed consent, primary care clinicians may have difficulty communicating with their patients and communities about environmental health risks. Clinicians are generally trusted and can play important roles as educators, alert practitioners, or even advocates talking about environmental health risks with individuals and groups. Communication of risk requires an understanding of how scientists and clinicians assess risk—the process of quantitative or qualitative risk assessment. Risk is never a purely scientific issue; risk is perceived differently depending on some well-understood characteristics of the hazard, the individual perceiving the risk, and the social context. Many low-income communities of color have faced and continue to face disproportionate environmental exposures and disease burdens. The issue of environmental justice can significantly affect the context of a discussion about a specific environmental risk. The essence of risk communication has been well described and requires careful evaluation of the science and the social context, honesty, listening to and partnering with the community, and a clear, compassionate team approach.

Abstrak. Penyakit berbasis lingkungan merupakan penyebab kesehatan masyarakat yang serius bahkan penyebab utama kematian. Kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya menjaga kebersihan dan kesehatan masih rendah yang mengakibatkan berbagai penyakit mudah muncul dan berkembang. Penyakit berbasis lingkungan masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia. ISPA dan diare yang merupakan penyakit berbasis lingkungan selalu masuk dalam 10 besar penyakit di hampir seluruh Puskesmas di Indonesia, selain malaria. Hasil observasi awal dan wawancara tanggal 9 Maret 2017 pengusul dengan ketua  RT 07/ RW 05 (Dukuh Banaran) dan RT 02 RW 06 (Dukuh Persen) Kelurahan Sekaran Gunungpati Semarang dapat disimpulkan bahwa kondisi lingkungan sekitar rumah warga sebagian besar terlihat masih kotor tidak sehat, kejadian penyakit berbasis lingkungan masih ada, pengetahuan dan sikap tentang Home Environmental Health and Safety (HEHS) masih kurang juga. Dukuh Persen pada tahun 2016 mendapat sertifikat “Daerah Kumuh” di Kota Semarang. Solusi yang ditawarkan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah terlaksananya penyuluhan dan pelatihan tentang penyakit berbasis lingkungan dan HEHS, adanya juru pemantauan kesehatan lingkungan (JUMANKESLING) yang dapat memantau kesehatan lingkungan sekitar rumah warga, dan program hari “Minggu Bersih dan Sehat”. Adapun luaran yang dihasilkan adalah berupa modul, leaflet, checklist, dan kartu PLR (pemantauan Lingkungan Rumah). Metode pelaksanaan pada kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah penyuluhan dan pelatihan bagi ibu-ibu dasa wisma dan JUMANKESLING. Pada kegiatan ini digunakan metode ceramah, demonstrasi dan praktik serta diskusi (problem solving), forum temu warga dasa wisma bulanan. Nilai rata-rata pretes dari peserta kegiatan sebesar 6,57 menunjukkan tingkat pemahaman/pengetahuan peserta tentang penerapan HEHS masih kurang. Setelah peserta mengikuti kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dengan menggunakan metode ceramah, demonstrasi, dan pemecahan masalah (problem solving), tingkat pemahaman/pengetahuan  terhadap   penerapan perilaku HEHS menjadi meningkat. Hal ini representasikan dengan adanya nila rata-rata postes yang lebih tinggi yaitu menjadi 7,80 yang menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman sebesar 18,72%. Untuk lebih  meningkatkan kemandirian ibu-ibu Dasa Wisma dalam implementasi HEHS diperlukan pelatihan lebih lanjut khususnya tentang pengayaan upaya-upaya pencegahan penyakit infeksi berbasis lingkungan secara mandiri dan spesifik

Environmental Health Problem

School has a major role in preparing young people to participate meaningfully in a context where digital technologies are increasingly mediating the way people interact with the surrounding environment. The goal of the research reported in this paper is to study how children can participate in school environmental health, using eco-sensors and digital technologies in scientific inquiries. Eco-sensors are used by children to acquire, analyze, interpret, and communicate data, as a support to the identification of problems and to their own environmental health decisions. This paper presents two case studies, one centered on noise and one on indoor air quality, in Portuguese elementary schools. It is a qualitative research that highlights that children can participate in authentic and meaningful environmental health problem solving in schools. Problem solving is developed through scientific inquiries that include children epistemic practices, scaffolded by teacher mediation and epistemic mediators, such as eco-sensors and other digital technologies.
