Abstract

Background: While the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across nations in significant terms, midwives who play a crucial role in offering maternal and child care amid the pandemic stand a high risk of being infected. Examining their level of compliance with the standard precautions amid the pandemic is important.Purpose: To assess the level of compliance of midwives in Indonesia with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage and hand washing.Methods: In June 2020, an online cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1520 midwives in Indonesia during the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26. Association between demographic variables and compliance with standard precautions was measured using Chi-square test. Results: Approximately 74% of midwives used PPE and masks when outside while more than 40% of them did not always wash their hands after they touch an object outside home. A significant association was found between level of education (p =.001), region (p =.000) and mask usage. However, association between ethnicity and mask usage; region and handwashing were not significant.   Conclusion: Majority of the midwives in Indonesia complied with PPE usage, but majority did not adhere to hand washing. This highlights the need for appropriate interventions to improve compliance to standard precautions in a bid to curtail further spread of the pandemic.

Abstract

The integrated service post program (in Indonesian: posyandu) aims to reduce infant mortality, and maternal mortality rates. However, the coverage of posyandu visits in Singosari sub-district was low (<50%) in 2021; hence this study aims to identify enabling and reinforcing factors of the behavior of posyandu visits. This research was conducted in Banjarum Village on 61 mothers who have toddlers. The survey instrument was used to identify factors related to the behaviour of visiting the posyandu under five. The results of the enabling factors showed that 88.52% of mothers had a health card, 93.44% of mothers said their children did not receive immunisation at the posyandu for during the last three months, and 100% of mothers added that the posyandu had a supplementary food provision program. The results of the enabling factors show that 100% of mothers have the support of family and community leaders to bring their toddlers to visit the posyandu, and say they need a posyandu in their residence. There was no significant relationship between enabling factors and the behaviour of mothers who brought their children to the posyandu under five (p ³ 0.05). This study includes a small number of respondents and was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore further research can be carried out on a larger sample size and during periods outside the pandemic.
