Background/Aim. Motivated and job satisfied health professionals represent a basis of success of modern health institutions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a difference in work motivation and job satisfaction between health workers in urban and rural areas in the region of Central Serbia. Methods. The study included 396 health professionals from urban setting, and 436 from a rural area, employed in four randomly selected health facilities. An anonymous questionnaire was used for data gathering. Statistical analysis was performed using ?2, Student t-test, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and logistic regression analysis. Results. Urban health professionals were significantly more motivated and job satisfied than respondents from rural area. In relation to work motivation factors and job satisfaction of health professionals in urban and rural areas, there were no significant differences in working conditions and current equipment, and in terms of job satisfaction there were no significant differences in relation to income either. Conclusion. In order to increase the level of work motivation and job satisfaction of health workers in rural areas, apart from better income, they should get more assistance and support from their supervisors, and awards for good job performance; interpersonal relationships, promotion and advancement opportunities, managerial performance and cooperation at work should be improved; employment security should be provided, as well as more independence at work, with professional supervision of health workers.

ABSTRACT There is still a gap in the need for health workers based on the ratio of Indonesia's population in 2019. One of the policy recommendations issued by WHO states that it is necessary to maximize the retention of health workers in rural areas, especially those that are underserved by health services. It is also in line with the 3c's SDG's goals of increasing health financing and recruitment, development, training and retention of health workers. Previous studies state that the health service system in rural and remote areas can be implemented well if the motivation and retention of health workers increase so that there is no longer a migration of health workers. Another study shows that increasing incentives and job satisfaction is an effort that can be done to overcome the problem of doctor retention in the area. This study aims to determine the relationship of work motivation, job satisfaction and characteristics of ASN health workers to work retention at the Puskesmas. This study is the result of further analysis of Health Workforce Research (Risnakes) data in 2017 with a sample of all health workers in Puskesmas with ASN status. Data were analyzed univariate, bivariate and multivariate to see what factors most influenced. Based on the results of the study there is a significant relationship between age, sex, level of education, marital status, length of work at the Puskesmas and access to the workplace, motivation and job satisfaction with the retention of the ASN health personnel to continue working at the Puskesmas (p <0, 05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that easy access to the workplace was the dominant factor associated with work retention (OR = 1,928; 95% CI: 1,848-2,011). It is expected that local governments can provide easy access to the workplace for health workers who work at Puskesmas. The policy of building official housing for health workers can be a solution so that health workers feel at home when working in the regions. ABSTRAK Masih terdapat kesenjangan kebutuhan tenaga kesehatan berdasarkan rasio jumlah penduduk Indonesia di tahun 2019. Salah satu rekomendasi kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh WHO menyebutkan bahwa perlu memaksimalkan retensi tenaga kesehatan di daerah perdesaan terutama yang kurang terlayani dengan pelayanan kesehatan. Selain itu juga sejalan dengan sasaran 3c pada SDG’s yakni meningkatkan pembiayaan kesehatan dan rekrutmen, pengembangan, pelatihan dan retensi tenaga kesehatan. Studi terdahulu menyatakan bahwa sistem pelayanan kesehatan di perdesaan dan daerah terpencil dapat terlaksana dengan baik apabila motivasi dan retensi tenaga kesehatan meningkat sehingga tidak terjadi lagi migrasi tenaga kesehatan. Studi lain menunjukkan bahwa peningkatkan insentif dan kepuasan kerja merupakan upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengatasi masalah retensi dokter di daerah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan motivasi kerja, kepuasan kerja dan karakteristik tenaga kesehatan ASN terhadap retensi kerja di Puskesmas. Studi ini merupakan hasil analisis lanjut dari data Riset Tenaga Kesehatan (Risnakes) tahun 2017 dengan sampel adalah seluruh tenaga kesehatan di Puskesmas yang berstatus ASN. Data dianalisis secara univariat, bivariat dan multivariat untuk melihat faktor apa yang paling berpengaruh. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara umur, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, status pernikahan, lama bekerja di Puskesmas dan akses menuju tempat kerja, motivasi dan kepuasan kerja dengan retensi atau kebetahan tenaga kesehatan ASN untuk terus bekerja di Puskesmas (p<0,05). Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa mudahnya akses menuju tempat kerja merupakan faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan retensi kerja (OR=1,928; 95%CI: 1,848-2,011). Diharapkan pemerintah daerah dapat memberikan kemudahan akses menuju tempat kerja bagi tenaga kesehatan yang bekerja di Puskesmas. Kebijakan pembangunan rumah dinas bagi tenaga kesehatan dapat menjadi satu solusi agar tenaga kesehatan betah bekerja di daerah.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to determine the contemporary differences in the inflow of global solar radiation in Warsaw (urban station) and Belsk (rural station). The meteorological data used comprised daily sums of global solar radiation (in MJ•m−2) and the duration of sunshine (in hours) for the period 2008 2014. On clear days in spring and summer, the rural area receives more solar radiation in comparison to the urban area, whereas in autumn a reverse relationship occurs. On cloudy days in all seasons, the rural area receives more solar radiation than the urban area, and the relationship is the strongest in winter. Differences between urban and rural areas on cloudy days are smaller than those observed on clear days.

Women Participation

An attempt was made to assess the women contribution towards agriculture in Vavuniya district, Sri Lanka. 60 farm family households' women were randomly selected from rural and urban area of Kovilkulam AI region of Vavuniya district in Sri Lanka and the data were collected by constructed questionnaire. The objectives of this study are to identify the factors contributing women participation in agriculture, to identify the constraints faced by the women in participating agriculture and to evaluate the women participation in decision making activity in agriculture. Minitab 15 and MS excel were used for data analysis. The level of women participation in agricultural activities was found out using chi-square test and the factors contributing for women participation in agricultural activities were identified using multiple regression analysis in urban and rural areas separately (α=0.05). The results revealed that 90% of the rural women respondents and 50% of the urban respondents participated in the agricultural activities which is a significant difference. The mean values of women participation in agricultural activities in urban and rural areas were 77 hours and 836 hours per annum respectively. The multiple regression model for women participation in urban area found that the participation of women negatively correlated with status of employment, age and education level (p=0.000). In rural area, age and educational level were negatively influencing on women participation in agricultural activities (p=0.000). R-square values of fitted regression models were 72 % and 91% in urban and rural area respectively 72% and 91% variation in respective women participation were explained by these models. The obstacles for the women in participation in agricultural activities were reported as lack of knowledge and training in agriculture field, family burden, cultural and social barriers and physical constraints. 60% of women from rural areas and 90% of women from urban areas were involved in decision making especially in the selection of crops and varieties for planting and livestock rearing. Enhancing the awareness and the technical knowledge to the women in the field of agriculture would contribute to increase income from agriculture at household level, district level and finally at national level. Int.

Malaysia aims to be an information society by the year 2020 can only be achieved if the mass population, that include those who live in the rural area, has the access to use the ICT. This is due to the uneven distribution of the basic telecommunication infostructure between the urban and rural areas in Malaysia that left the rural area to be at the disadvantage to access the ICT. Meanwhile, there are many programs that have been implemented by the government to encourage the rural population to use the Internet, such as ‘Kedaikom’, a community based telecenter serving the rural population. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate how ‘Kedaikom’ as a community based telecenter could assist in diffusing the usage of the ICT to the rural population. The result from the survey has indicated that the community telecenter could be used to bridge the digital divide between the underserved rural community and the well-accessed urban community. More of the rural population, especially from the younger generation and those with higher education background (irrespective of age) are using the community telecenter to be connected to the Internet.

Background: Sexual assault is about the most dehumanizing form of gender based violence against women worldwide. Nigeria and many other countries in Africa do not have National data on women sexual assault. This survey is aimed at generating data on sexual assault against women in Osun state, Nigeria. Objective: To determine the patterns of sexual assault against women in Urban and Rural areas of Osun State in South western Nigeria. Methodology: A cross section survey using interviewer administered questionnaire was carried out among selected 1,200 women aged 15 years and above in urban and rural areas, between August and December 2014. The questionnaire was patterned after WHO Multi-country study on women’s health and domestic violence data instrument. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0. Results: Mean age of the respondents was 23.75 ±(13.22) years in rural area, in the urban area it was 27.69 ±(10.23) years. 46 % and 54 % were married in urban and rural areas respectively. The prevalence of completed rape was 10.0 % in urban and 9.2 % in rural, while that of attempted rape was 31.4 % and 20.0 % in the urban and rural area respectively. Women in the rural areas experienced repeat sexual assault and suffered non-genital injuries more the in urban area. Having partner and living in urban area were associated with female sexual assault. Conclusions: Sexual assault against women constitutes public health issue in Osun state with rural women incurring greater negative health consequences. Primary prevention strategies should focus at young men and women in both rural and urban areas of the state. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.18(3) 2019 p.628-635

summaryPurpose – This study reports on a project to monitor deliberate self-poisoning in a rural area of Northern Ireland over a 20-year period. Comparison is made with reports from large urban centres. In addition, a local prescribing database allows assessment of any association between psychotropic drug prescription and use for deliberate self-poisoning. Materials and methods – Frequency of self-poisoning, demographic details and drugs used were recorded for all episodes of deliberate self-poisoning occurring at Craigavon Area Hospital for the years 1976, 1986, 1991 and 1996. It was possible to compare prescriptions of psychotropic drugs with their use for deliberate self-poisoning between the years 1991 and 1996 in the region served by the hospital, using the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) system. Results – In this rural area the pattern of deliberate self-poisoning has changed, as in urban centres, with a rise in frequency and the male/female ratio approaching unity. The pattern of drug use has altered, with paracetamol overtaking benzodiazepines as the most commonly used agent. More recently, antidepressants have become the second most frequently used drug class for this purpose. Psychotropic medications used for self-poisoning altered in proportion to their prescription between the years 1991 and 1996. Conclusions – In the face of a continuing rise in deliberate self-poisoning, which is effecting both urban and rural areas, care should be taken to prescribe the least toxic agent available as this is associated with likely frequency of self-poisoning for most classes of psychotropic drug.

This article discusses on poverty rate and inequlity in urban and rural areas during 2011-15. It shows that poverty rate tends todecrease. The poverty in rural area is worse than that in the urban one. The urban poor people work in the informal sector or in the small business. The poor in the rural areas work in the agriculture sector. The majority of poorest provinces is in the east Indonesia. However, the majority of the poor people live in Java island. Eventough the income inequility in Indonesia is moderate, but it  has been increased since 2011. There are many more poor people above the national poverty line. The government could inprove rural and east Indonesia infstructure in order to increase agriculture production. In this way the poverty in rural area and the gap between east and west Indonesia could decrease.
