Experiences and Insights from the Early US COVID-19 Epicenter: A Rapid Assessment Procedure Informed Clinical Ethnography Case Series

Background: The infant and neonatal mortality rate in Depok City is still high, with low birth weight (LBW) and premature births being one of the main causes. In 2018, 14 out of 41 cases of early neonatal death were due to LBW. Studies show that Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) can prevent or reduce LBW deaths caused by hypothermia, but the implementation is still not evenly distributed. Objective: Describe KMC feasibility as a supporting material for a KMC policy umbrella at Depok City. Method: Qualitative research was conducted with a Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) design. A total of 56 informants were divided into 8 discussion groups, 7 in-depth interviews and 2 Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The types of informants were families and inter-sectoral officers. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: KMC implementation feasibility in Depok City in terms of facilities and infrastructure was still limited and the quality was insufficient. The number of human resources was still limited, and the competency was still not evenly distributed. LBW family readiness can be maintained if provided with complete and accurate knowledge; therefore, a strong commitment may develop to continue KMC at home. The potential sources of KMC financing are found at health facilities and inter-sectoral; however, to use it, a legal umbrella at the city district level is necessary. Conclusions: The factors of potential financing sources need to be followed up into a priority. This is to overcome the constraints of KMC feasibility implementation.

ABSTRACTImmunization has been considered one of the greatest achievements in public health programs and with immunization a number of diseases can be reduced such as eradicating smallpox, eradicating polio, and significant progress in reducing the incidence of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and measles (1). Right now immunization at the global level is stagnant at 86%. It is estimated that around 19.5 million children worldwide do not receive basic immunization (2). In Indonesia, an estimated 1.9 million children under 1 year were not fully immunized in 2015 (3) and as many as 242135 children were not immunized in 2016. To find out the Mother’s Behavior As A Public Health Postgraduate Student Of University Of Indonesia On Giving Children’s Immunization. This study used a qualitative method using the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) approach located in the University of Indonesia's Public Health Faculty . The informant selection technique uses purposive sampling with the principle of appropriateness and adequacy. Data collection method is with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) 2 groups with each consisting of 6 postgraduate students from University of Indonesia's Public Health Faculty who have fully immunized. As triangulation source, interview conducted with postgraduate students who provide incomplete immunizations, postgraduate students who do not provide immunizations, and staff of the Ministry of Health, Immunization Directorate General of P2P. Nearly all informants had good knowledge, positive attitudes towards immunization is that only a small percentage of informants refused immunization. All informants agreed that media information is important for the success of immunization programs, especially to prevent issues or hoaxes about immunization. Most of the informants received support from their families to give their children immunizations so that the status of immunization for children was complete, but there were informants who did not get the support of their closest family wich is the husband, which made their child's immunization status incomplete. But family support and electronic media have a big influence in motivating mothers to immunize their children. It is recommended to be more careful in sorting the information so that children's and the environment health are maintained properly.Keywords : Immunization behavior, child immunization, mother's education

Abstract Objective Post-stroke urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the sequelae of stroke. This situation affects all aspects of the patient's life – physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. This study aimed to investigate the experience of patients’ success in facing a post-stroke UI. Methods A qualitative study using the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) approach was used in this study. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. In-depth interviews with as many as 8 patients who had recovered from post-stroke UI and living in the greater area of Southeast Sulawesi (Indonesia) were conducted. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 8 caregivers and 2 nurses. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach and interpretation of data was based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing. Results Five successful things the patients experienced during post-stroke UI were identified. The five successes were as follows: they provided information to get to know and understand post-stroke UI, followed the procedures to overcome post-stroke UI, conducted self-control exercises and stayed motivated, performed daily activities independently according to ability, and made use of family support and peers’ attention. Conclusions These findings indicated that persistence, belief, independence, and social support (family and peer) made patients to successfully face their post-stroke UI and improved their quality of life. These findings also became the basis for developing a post-stroke UI management model based on Humanbecoming theory and Self-care deficit theory of nursing.

The Impact

Background: This year has seen the emergence of two major crises, a significant increase in frequency and severity of hurricanes and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known as to how each of these two events have impacted the other. A rapid qualitative assessment was conducted to determine the impact of the pandemic on preparedness and response to natural disasters and the impact of past experiences with natural disasters in responding to the pandemic. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 representatives of 24 different community-based programs in southern Louisiana. Data were analyzed using procedures embedded in the Rapid Assessment Procedure – Informed Community Ethnography methodology, using techniques of immersion and crystallization and focused thematic analysis. Results: The pandemic has impacted the form and function of disaster preparedness, making it harder to plan for evacuations in event of a hurricane. Specific concerns included being able to see people in-person, providing food and other resources to residents who shelter in place, finding volunteers to assist in food distribution and other forms of disaster response, competing for funds to support disaster-related activities, developing new support infrastructures, and focusing on equity in disaster preparedness. However, several strengths based on disaster preparedness experience and capabilities were identified, including providing a framework for how to respond and adapt to COVID and integration of COVID response with their normal disaster preparedness activities. Conclusions: Although prior experience has enabled community-based organizations to respond to the pandemic, the pandemic is also creating new challenges to preparing for and responding to natural disasters.
