Abstract Background Research capacity strengthening could be an indirect outcome of implementing a research project. The objective of this study was to explore the ability of the global maternal sepsis study (GLOSS), implemented in 52 countries, to develop and strengthen sexual and reproductive health research capacity of local participants in low- and middle- income participating countries. Methods We carried out a qualitative study employing grounded theory in sixteen countries in Africa and Latin America. We used inductive and deductive methods through a focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews for the emergence of themes. Participants of the focus group discussion (n = 8) were GLOSS principal investigators (PIs) in Latin America. Interviewees (n = 63) were selected by the country GLOSS PIs in both Africa and Latin America, and included a diverse sample of participants involved in different aspects of study implementation. Eighty-two percent of the participants were health workers. We developed a conceptual framework that took into consideration data obtained from the focus group and refined it based on data from the interviews. Results Six themes emerged from the data analysis: recognized need for research capacity, unintended effects of participating in research, perceived ownership and linkage with the research study, being just data collectors, belonging to an institution that supports and fosters research, and presenting study results back to study implementers. Research capacity strengthening needs were consistently highlighted including involvement in protocol development, training and technical support, data analysis, and project management. The need for institutional support for researchers to conduct research was also emphasised. Conclusion This study suggests that research capacity strengthening of local researchers was an unintentional outcome of the large multi-country study on maternal sepsis. However, for sustainable research capacity to be built, study coordinators and funders need to deliberately plan for it, addressing needs at both the individual and institutional level.

(1) Background: It Is recommended that children consume adequate amount of vegetables. However, the problem still remained in every single family and community. Many studies to find out its causes have been done. Unfortunately, most of them were conducted on parents only. Little is known from children’s own perspective. Children’s perspective is important to help adults in choosing vegetables for the children. Thus, this study aimed to explore children’s opinion on vegetables consumption.; (2) Methods: Qualitative design was employed. Samples were selected using purposive technique sampling. Nine participants aged 6-12 years were interviewed in a focus group discussion. Data were analysed using qualitative data analysis by Miles and Huberman.; (3) Results: The FGD indicates three themes: why kids dislike vegetables, sort of vegetables which kids love to consume, reasons why kids want to eat vegetables.; (4) Conclusions: Health education and involving children in their own food preparation is promising way to improve vegetables intake. Further research is to develop a new form of health education and a program in which children are involved to choose and prepare their own vegetables.

The results of the interview were then cross-referenced to such key informants as tradition and community leaders. Data were comprehensively studied by the methods of padan of which relevant theories were used to study data and agih of which supporting equipment was sourced from the language itself (Sudaryanto, 2003). The results of data analysis showed that the patterns of NSM syntax were novelties by combination of several prototypes of semantic primitives accordingly. The patterns comprise of simple patterns, complex patterns, and the related specific patterns.

The Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach (PISPK) is conducted by the health center (puskesmas), which addressed to closer the public access to health services with a family target. Puskesmas would accept data and information from family health profiles (Prokesga) based on evidence, that needs to manage adequately so can be utilized as a document of drafting the action plan. Evaluation of the PISPK implementation in 2019 shows that the majority of puskesmas do not conduct and utilize PISPK Data. This study aims to describe how to manage, analyze, and utilization PISPK Data at puskesmas. The analysis is part of the PISPK implementation research conducted by the Center for Research and Development of Health Resources and Services through Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach in 8 puskesmas in Indonesia (2017-2018) using mixed methods. We had performed a Focus Group Discussion for the surveyor and an in-depth interview with the Head of Health Centers. PISPK Data analysed using Excel and SPSS. Results showed that still not proficient in data management and utilization at puskesmas sites. It is caused by several obstacles involve an administrative change of city or district; update of the healthy family application; restricted access of raw data, internet connection, and Prokesga storage, including limitations of data analysis skill also. Barriers can be minimalized use manual analysis and special training for management and data analysis. Results of data analysis for PISPK can also be used to determine program targets, to make a map of the individual problem, family, and area, which is utilized to arrange a draft of the Action Plan. Abstrak Program Indonesia Sehat dengan Pendekatan Keluarga (PISPK) dilaksanakan oleh puskesmas untuk mendekatkan akses pelayanan kesehatan dengan target keluarga. Puskesmas akan mendapatkan data dan informasi dari profil kesehatan keluarga (Prokesga) berdasar evidence yang perlu dikelola dengan baik sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan penyusunan rencana usulan kegiatan. Evaluasi pelaksanaan PISPK 2019 menunjukkan mayoritas puskesmas belum melakukan analisis dan pemanfaatan data PISPK. Untuk itu, tulisan ini bertujuan menggambarkan bagaimana pengelolaan, analisis, dan pemanfaatan data PISPK di puskesmas. Analisis merupakan bagian dari riset implementasi PISPK yang dilakukan oleh Puslitbang Sumber Daya dan Pelayanan Kesehatan melalui pendekatan Parcipatory Action Research (PAR) di 8 puskesmas di Indonesia pada tahun 2017-2018 dengan metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Dilakukan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) terhadap petugas puskesmas dan wawancara mendalam kepada kepala puskesmas. Data PISPK diolah dengan menggunakan excel dan SPSS. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan data PISPK di puskesmas lokus belum optimal. Hal ini terkendala, antara lain: perubahan administratif kota/kabupaten, perubahan versi aplikasi KS; tidak ada akses terhadap raw data; terbatasnya sinyal internet dan tempat penyimpanan Prokesga, termasuk juga keterbatasan kemampuan analisis data. Kendala dapat diminimalisir dengan analisis manual, dan pelatihan khusus manajemen dan analisis data. Hasil analisis data PISPK dapat digunakan dalam menentukan sasaran program, membuat peta masalah individu, keluarga dan wilayah yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk penyusunan rencana usulan kegiatan.
