The Optimization of HIV Testing in Eastern Indonesia: Findings from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey

Background: HIV/AIDS as a global pandemic forced the nursing student to have appropriate knowledge and attitudes toward caring for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).  
Purpose: This study aims to explore the level of knowledge, attitudes, and willingness of pre-clinical nursing students to provide nursing care for PLWHA. 
Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study is conducted. A total of 185 pre-clinical nursing students enrolled in Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs were recruited. Data was collected from April to May 2019 using a self-reported questionnaire and analysed with descriptive statistics, a t-test, and Pearson’s correlation test with a significant level of 0.05.  
Results: Overall pre-clinical nursing students had moderate knowledge about HIV/AIDS, but students had a negative attitude toward HIV/AIDS. The students’ mean score of willingness to care for PLWHA was 5.45. BSN students had better knowledge than ADN students, and the difference was significant. However, differences in attitudes and willingness to manage between BSN and ADN students were insignificant. In addition, the differences in knowledge, attitudes, and desire to care between males and females were insignificant. The result revealed that attitudes and willingness to care for PLWHA were significantly correlated. 
Conclusions: Based on the study results, it is essential for nursing students to have accurate knowledge about HIV/AIDS and positive attitudes toward people with HIV/AIDS to ensure that they can provide high-quality and effective care for PLWHA as well as protect themselves from being infected with HIV.

The utilization profile of place for HIV testing in Indonesia: A nationwide study

Abstrak: Air yang dikonsumsi manusia haruslah memenuhi indikator fisika, kimia, dan biologi, agar tidak emnimbulkan gangguan kesehatan. Mn dan Fe adalah indikator kimiawi air, yang apabila dikonsumsi diatas batas aman, maka akan menimbulkan penyakit bagi manusia. Masalah yang dihadapi oleh mitra kegiatan ini adalah air baku yang tercemar Mn dan Fe dalam jumlah yang cukup besar (2) Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan solusi pengolahan air melalui desain alat penjernih air dengan metode aerasi filtrasi (3) Metode kegiatan ini yaitu tahapan pra kegiatan dimana tim melakukan persiapan keperluan pengabmas, pelaksanaan kegiatan, dan tahap evaluasi yaitu tim melakukan pengukuran parameter fisik air. Serta disosialisasikan tentang cara perawatan alat, meliputi pencucian pasir, serta pemeliharaan sambungan pipa, shoer, dan keran, pada masyarakat yang menjadi sasaran. Kegiatan ini melibatkan mitra Desa Tualango yang terdiri dari 5 orang aparat Des, 20 orang masyarakat, dan 1 orang petugas Puskesmas. Evaluasi pasca pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan sebanyak 2 kali yang meliputi perawatan serta perbaikan alat, serta pengukuran hasil olahan dari alat. Hasil yang dicapai pada kegiatan ini, adalah diperolehnya air baku masyarakat yang memenuhi syarat fisik (tidak berbau, berwarna, dan berasa) dengan persentase 100% setelah dilakukan pengolahan dengan alat yang digunakan. Sementara, untuk perawatan alat penjernih telah diajarkan pada masyarakat pada saat tahapan sosialisasi .Abstract: Water consumed by humans must meet physical, chemical, and biological indicators, so as not to cause health problems. Mn and Fe are chemical indicators of water, which if consumed above the safe limit, it will cause disease for humans. The problem faced by partners in this activity is raw water that is contaminated with Mn and Fe in large enough quantities (2) The purpose of this service is to provide water treatment solutions through the design of water purification equipment with aeration filtration method (3) The method of this activity is the pre-processing stage. An activity where the team prepares for the needs of community service, implementation of activities, and the evaluation stage, where the team measures the physical parameters of water. As well as being socialized on how to maintain tools, including sand washing, as well as maintenance of pipe connections, shoers, and faucets, to the target community. This activity involved Tualango Village partners consisting of 5 village officials, 20 community members, and 1 Puskesmas officer. Post-implementation evaluation activities were carried out 2 times which included maintenance and repair of tools, as well as measurement of the processed results of the tools. The result achieved in this activity is the obtaining of community raw water that meets physical requirements (odorless, colorless, and tasteless) with a percentage of 100% after processing with the equipment used. Meanwhile, the maintenance of the purifier has been taught to the community during the socialization stage.
