Kondisi saat , ada sekitar 15 Sekolah Dasar di Kabupaten Kerinci direncanakan akan di merger oleh Pemerintah Kabupaten melalui Dinas Pendidikan. Langkah tersebut dilakukan sabagai upaya peningkatan mutu pendidikan di Kerinci. Karena Belasan sekolah itu dinilai tidak memenuhi Standart Nasional Pendidikan (SNP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji kelayakan dari perencanaan kebijakan Pendidikan melalui Merger Sekolah Dasar di Kabupaten Kerinci. Manfaat penelitian melalui feasibility and Policy Analysis (Analisis kebijakan dan Kelayakan) akan ditemukan permasalahan dan sejauh mana alternatif kebijakan yang diusulkan dapat menjadi rekomendasi bagi pemerintah Kabupaten Kerinci dalam memutuskan kebijakan merger pada sekolah-sekolah yang direncanakan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan pendekatan  Sequential Explanatory Design of mixed method.Hasil penelitian menunjukan temuan kuantitatif dengan cross-sectional study menjelaskan bahwa (1) Administrative Operability tidak berpengaruh dan signifikan terhadap Sucessful Policy Implementation. Hasil nilai t statistik adalah 0.528 = 1,96. (2) Economic & Financial Feasibility berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Sucessful Policy Implementation. Hasil nilai t statistik adalah 10.693 = 1,96. (3) Political Feasibility berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Sucessful Policy Implementation. Hasil nilai t statistik adalah 3.906 = 1,96. dan (4) Technical Feasibility tidak berpengaruh dan signifikan terhadap Sucessful Policy Implementation. Hasil nilai t statistik adalah 1.016 = 1,96. Kesimpulannya H4 ditolak. Konsekuensinya diperoleh bahwa Economic & Financial Feasibility dan Political Feasibility memiliki pengaruh paling kuat terhadap keberhasilan penerapan kebijakan merger SD di Kabupaten Kerinci. Wawancara dengan skateholders terkait di peroleh hasil temuan bahwa terdapat tujuh tema baru yang muncul yaitu (1) Masalah pada sertifikasi guru khususnya terkait jam mengajar dan kelas, (2) Masalah pada guru honorer, (3) Efek dan dampak kebijakan ini akan tidak seimbang dari kepala sekolah dan kepentingan desa, (4) Masyarakat Desa Mempersepsikan susah mendirikan sekolah dan mudah untuk menghapus sekolah, (5) Belum ada persamaan persepsi tentang kebijakan merger SD, (6) Proses penyesuaian diri guru-guru dari sekolah yang dihapuskan (7) Terjadi Penumpukkan guru. Dari tujuh tema tersebut frekuensi pernyataan yang sering muncul memiliki relevansi yang kuat dengan dua domain penilaian kelayakan kebijakan yaitu Economic & Financial Feasibility dan Political Feasibility.   Kata Kunci : Merger, Sekolah Dasar, Studi Kelayakan

ObjectivesTo assess the value of pilot and feasibility studies to randomised controlled trials (RCTs) funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme. To explore the methodological components of pilot/feasibility studies and how they inform full RCTs.Study designCross-sectional study.SettingBoth groups included NIHR HTA programme funded studies in the period 1 January 2010–31 December 2014 (decision date). Group 1: stand-alone pilot/feasibility studies published in the HTA Journal or accepted for publication. Group 2: all funded RCT applications funded by the HTA programme, including reference to an internal and/or external pilot/feasibility study. The methodological components were assessed using an adapted framework from a previous study.Main outcome measuresThe proportion of stand-alone pilot and feasibility studies which recommended proceeding to full trial and what study elements were assessed. The proportion of ‘HTA funded’ trials which used internal and external pilot and feasibility studies to inform the design of the trial.ResultsGroup 1 identified 15 stand-alone pilot/feasibility studies. Study elements most commonly assessed weretesting recruitment(100% in both groups),feasibility(83%, 100%) andsuggestions for further study/investigation(83%, 100%). Group 2 identified 161 ‘HTA funded’ applications: 59 cited an external pilot/feasibility study wheretesting recruitment(50%, 73%) andfeasibility(42%, 73%) were the most commonly reported study elements: 92 reported an internal pilot/feasibility study wheretesting recruitment(93%, 100%) andfeasibility(44%, 92%) were the most common study elements reported.Conclusions‘HTA funded’ research which includes pilot and feasibility studies assesses a variety of study elements. Pilot and feasibility studies serve an important role when determining the most appropriate trial design. However, how they are reported and in what context requires caution when interpreting the findings and delivering a definitive trial.

BackgroundThe majority of children with eczema in the UK are looked after in primary care yet we know little about their care in this setting.AimTo compare the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of eczema in primary care with published diagnostic criteria and management guidelines.Design & settingCross-sectional study using data from a randomised controlled feasibility study. General practices, UK.MethodBaseline data from children aged 1 month to 5 years recruited ‘in-consultation’ for the Choice of Moisturiser in Eczema Treatment (COMET) feasibility study was used. These included clinician diagnosis and global severity assessment; the parent-completed Patient Orientated Eczema Measure (POEM); a questionnaire about eczema treatments, including use of topical corticosteroid (TCS); and, the Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI) carried out by trained researchers. Descriptive analyses were undertaken to compare diagnoses with UK diagnostic criteria, severity assessments, and treatment with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellent (NICE) guidance.ResultsData were available for 90 participants. Only 46% of participants labelled as having eczema met the UK diagnostic criteria. Agreement between the global severity assessment by a healthcare practitioner with the EASI and POEM measures of eczema severity were 44% and 48% respectively. Emollients and TCSs were underused with 44% of participants not using any emollient and 46% using one or more TCSs. The ‘match’ between eczema severity and TCSs potency was poor.ConclusionDiscrepancies were found between the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of children with eczema in primary care, and UK diagnostic criteria and guidelines. Further investigation to explore the reasons for this discordance, and whether it matters, is needed.

Background: Vaccination of under 5 children is a crucial process for making child disease free against vaccine preventable diseases. Intensified mission Indradhanush focus on improving immunization coverage to ensure full immunization to more than 90% by December 2018 instead of earlier set target of 2020.Methods: This cross sectional study aimed to assess the full immunization and reasons for partial or no immunization in children less than two years of age in a metropolitan overcrowded area. Total 246 children were enrolled after applying complete enumeration method of sampling. Parents were interviewed by home to home visit and data recorded through immunization card/recall method.Results: 142 (87.65%) children were found fully immunized. The vaccine wise coverage was 100% for BCG, 95.1% for pentavalent and OPV third dose and 91.1% for measles vaccines. Father’s education was significantly associated with partial immunization. Fear, unawareness, H/O AEFI, inconvenient timings are the major reasons for partial immunization.Conclusions: The target of mission Indradhanush is to achieve 90% by December 2018 is on the verge of fulfillment in this study area. As the age of the child gets increases the adherence for subsequent vaccination decreases. Emphasis should be given on Fathers education and community awareness regarding importance of Vaccination.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.
