Bongkot village has many people suffering from mental disorders. There are around fifty people suffering from mental disorders. Prediction of mental disorders at table three is usually done through interviews. Cadres need to fill out the form provided on the Towards Healthy Soul Card (KMSJ) at the interview. The form needs to be filled out based on the results of the interview to predict whether the interviewee has a mental illness or not. If the results of the interview are predicted to have a mental disorder, the cadre will recommend appropriate follow-up. This process is certainly prone to mistakes because it only depends on cadre knowledge. Predictions will certainly affect the recommendations given. in this community service program, the authors propose to apply Information Technology (IT) to reduce the risk of such errors. The system is named the Mental Health Posyandu Management Information System (SIM). The system is expected to be able to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of services at the posyandu, the output of this service produces an online-based application related to the service of mental health posyandu with the address www. poskeswa.com.

Objective: To propose a model where care coordination can form part of recovery oriented care when it is included as a collaborative element of services for persons with severe mental illness. Conclusion: A recovery-oriented service requires more than clinical interventions. It also needs to address social determinants and be individualised or person centred. Multiple health and community services need to be involved. A care coordination model is capable of addressing multiple needs. It gives the client the first and foremost voice. It facilitates intersectoral collaboration, reduces the burden on clinical mental health services and is supported by mental health and community service personnel.

Background: The stigma of mental illness causes delays in seeking help, and often compromises victims’ therapeutic relationships with healthcare providers. The knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural responses of future healthcare professionals toward individuals with mental illnesses are explored here to suggest steps that will reduce mental illness stigma in healthcare providers. Methods: A generic qualitative approach—Qualitative Description—was used. Eighteen students from nine healthcare programs at a Canadian University participated in individual semi-structured interviews. Participants answered questions regarding their knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural responses towards individuals with mental illnesses. Thematic content analysis guided the data analysis. Results: Four main themes were constructed from the data: positive and negative general perceptions toward mental illness; contact experiences with mental illnesses; mental illness in a healthcare setting; and learning about mental illness in healthcare academia. Conclusions: Students showed well-rounded mental health knowledge and mostly positive behaviours toward individuals with mental illnesses. However, some students hold stigmatizing attitudes and do not feel prepared through their academic experiences to work with individuals with mental illnesses. Mental health education can reduce the stigma toward mental illness and improve the care delivered by healthcare professionals.

Hoarding is a problem for which coordinated interprofessional interventions are suited to address associated health and safety concerns. Case management (CM) consists of a set of well-established strategies commonly used in community service settings to address serious mental illness and similar complex problems. The present study used qualitative methods to examine whether CM activities occurred in four North American community-based hoarding intervention models. Findings indicated interventions associated with hoarding cases mapped closely onto eight major functions of CM, though emphasis on specific CM activities depended on availability of resources. CM appears to be a useful rubric for approaching complex social and functional problems that arise among urban clients with hoarding disorder.

Background: Self-stigma exerts a range of adversities for persons with severe mental illness (SMI), however, little is known about the association between peer contact, social support and self-stigma. Aims: This study aimed to explore the mediating role of social support on the relationship between peer contact and self-stigma among persons with SMI in Hong Kong. Methods: A total of 159 persons with SMI (schizophrenia and mood disorder) in community service centres participated in the study through completing a survey on self-stigma, social functioning, social support, perception of peer contact and mass media. Logistic regression was utilised to explore the influencing factors of self-stigma among the participants. Results: The results showed that 81.1% of participants reported moderate to severe levels of self-stigma. Self-stigma was significantly associated with diverse factors (e.g. social functioning). Importantly, positive peer contact was significantly associated with lower self-stigma of persons with SMI. Social support acted as a mediator between peer contact and self-stigma. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that contact-based interventions, such as enhancing positive peer-to-peer contact, should be conducted for reducing self-stigma among persons with SMI.

SynopsisThe annual rates of referral to two differently organized comprehensive psychiatric services in separate but demographically similar areas are presented for various demographic social and clinical categories. In Part 1 the rates are examined for similarities both between the two areas and with findings from other studies in order to obtain pointers to factors affecting the inception of psychiatric disorders. In Part 2 an attempt is made to evaluate an aspect of the community service. Differences between the rates in the two areas are discussed with a view to identifying those variables that selectively affect referral to a community service.

This article was written based on the Bandung State Polytechnic Community Service (PKM) activities in collaboration with BUMDES Desa Padaasih, West Bandung Regency to provide solutions to the problems of developing BUMDES in managing the tourism business in Curug Panganten. The BUMDES Desa Padaasih has problems that include limited village human resources related to entrepreneurial knowledge and insights for the management of BUMDES and the absence of a guide to planning the development of a tourism service business. Following up on this, Community Service activities have been carried out by the Bandung State Polytechnic by designing a Tourism Business Plan and providing Technical Guidance (BIMTEK) to administrators and activists of Padaasih Village BUMDES as partners. This activity has resulted in partners' understanding of tourism business management which includes Marketing, Business Strategy, Human Resource Management, Product Management, Technical Operational Management, and Marketing Tools and the creation of a Tourism Service Business Plan document as a guide so that BUMDES Desa Padaasih Cisarua KBB can develop a tourism business for improve the village economy.
