Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a global pandemic is ineluctable, transmission that originated from a foreign country became the local transmission in Indonesia. As several regional authorities implemented a large-scale social restriction policy to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, the Nganjuk Regency government chose to implement a different strategy with the implementation of Regent Regulation number 28 of 2020 about novel practice in the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the impact of the implementation of the regulation on COVID-19 transmissibility and mortality at the Nganjuk Regency. Methods: Data were collected from the daily confirmed cases and death of COVID-19 made accessible for the public by the Nganjuk Regency Task Force for COVID-19 and Nganjuk Regency Health Office starting from March 30th to September 20th. Interrupted time series analysis was performed to estimate the impact of the implementation of regent regulation on COVID-19 transmission and mortality parameters. Result: The trend of new confirmed cases and deaths of COVID-19 in the Nganjuk Regency continued to fluctuate before and even after the implementation of regent regulation. It was found that there were reductions in case of fatality rates by -0.002 ± 0.003 (ρ 0.002) on CFR and -0.008 ± 0.008 (ρ 0.007) on eCFR after the regent regulation was implemented but there was no significant reduction on COVID-19 transmissibility parameter. Conclusion: Implementation of regent regulation in Nganjuk Regency significantly affected the reduction of case fatality rate but failed to slow down the COVID-19 transmissibility. Intensive community engagement to comply with the health preventive measures should be considered as an effective preventive strategy to reduce the transmission of COVID-19.

Abstract

Introduction: HIV continues to be a major global public health issue. While the treatment of people with HIV is still being a challenge, social issues towards people with HIV/AIDS gradually growing. HIV stigma is prevalent worldwide being the barrier to HIV prevention and treatment including in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to explore the association of social demographic and level knowledge about HIV/AIDS with the discriminatory attitudes towards adults and children with HIV/AIDS in the general population in Indonesia. Methods: The type of research is non-reactive research based on secondary data. Chi-square analysis and logistic regression statistics were performed to test the association. Result: The result reported that socio-demographic statistically had a significant association with the discriminatory attitude. Males (OR 0.993 [95% CI 0.990 – 0.995]) tend to have an inclusive attitude towards adults with HIV/AIDS but children with HIV/AIDS (OR 4.235 [95% 4.003 – 4.480]). People with no education (OR 1.625 [95% CI 1.143 – 2.310]), people with primary education (OR 1.465 [95% CI 1.363 - 1.575]), poorest people (OR 1.471 [95% CI 1.361 – 1.590]), and people with low incomplete knowledge about HIV prevention and transmission (OR 4.083 [95% CI 3.752 – 4.444]) significantly had a non-inclusive attitude towards adults with HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: The result of this research suggested that increasing general public knowledge about HIV prevention and transmission is one of the significant methods in reducing discriminatory attitudes towards adults and children with HIV/AIDS. Keywords: attitude, discriminatory, general, population, stigma
