Government or Donor: The Budget for HIV/AIDS Control and Financial Commitment in Bandung City, Indonesia

The number of HIV/AIDS cases in Indonesia has steadily increased since 1987. West Java Province, especially Bandung City, had the highest HIV/AIDS cases among other districts/cities in 2016. Some stakeholders' interventions overlap with others, leading to inefficient use of the limited government budget and flattening international donor funding. This study aimed to estimate the HIV/AIDS budget in Bandung City and then segregate the share of the budget by funding source and objectives. This study was a part of the Priority Setting Involving Stakeholder Using Multiple Criteria (PRISMA) project in 2017 to prioritize HIV/AIDS interventions knowing that Bandung City had the highest HIV/AIDS cases. Data from several institutions and relevant budget allocations were obtained before (2016) and after (2018-2019) the PRISMA project. HIV/AIDS control programs in Bandung City largely depend on international funding: 49% in 2016 (~USD208,898), 85% in 2018 (~USD386,132), and 71% in 2019 (~USD389,943) for a total of ~USD1,433,216. The largest budget was allocated to core interventions, with prevention dominating the budget since 2018. The budget allocated for prevention increased significantly from 2016-2019, most likely under the influence of the PRISMA project

Penerimaan Pesan Dalam Film Yang Mengandung Unsur Rasisme (Analisis Audiens Film Green Book 2018)

Film is one of the mass communication media which is effective in disseminating information which aims to convey messages to audiences which are shown in a story and then packaged with audio visuals. One drama film entitled Green Book tells the story of the life of a world-class African-American jazz pianist who gets racist treatment by Americans. This film is a true story that occurred in the 1960s where America was still thick with racism, even though Don Shirley was famous in that era, who often received bad treatment from Americans. With these problems, the study was conducted to determine how the audience's acceptance of racism in the Green Book film. The theory used in this research is Stuart Hall's theory of audience reception. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach and data collection techniques used in-depth interviews. The results showed that the acceptance of the audience's message in interpreting the Green Book film was different, audience acceptance resulted in three positions: dominant-hegemonic position, negotiated position, and oppositional position. In this case the audience is based on knowledge which consists of elements of beliefs, cultural values, education, and experiences of each. The researcher argues that (1) media text producers examine audience research in determining the media context, and (2) acceptance studies and research using acceptance analysis methods to be further improved. In general, according to the informants, racism is an act of inhumanity and is very cruel

Translating international HIV treatment guidelines into local priorities in Indonesia

Objective: International guidelines recommend countries to expand antiretroviral therapy (ART) to all HIV-infected individuals and establish local-level priorities in relation to other treatment, prevention and mitigation interventions through fair processes. However, no practical guidance is provided for such priority-setting processes. Evidence-informed deliberative processes (EDPs) fill this gap and combine stakeholder deliberation to incorporate relevant social values with rational decision-making informed by evidence on these values. This study reports on the first-time implementation and evaluation of an EDP in HIV control, organised to support the AIDS Commission in West Java province, Indonesia, in the development of its strategic plan for 2014–2018. Methods: Under the responsibility of the provincial AIDS Commission, an EDP was implemented to select priority interventions using six steps: (i) situational analysis; (ii) formation of a multistakeholder Consultation Panel; (iii) selection of criteria; (iv) identification and assessment of interventions’ performance; (v) deliberation; and (vi) selection of funding and implementing institutions. An independent researcher conducted in-depth interviews (n = 21) with panel members to evaluate the process. Results: The Consultation Pa

Factors associated with psychosocial symptoms experienced by students in response to COVID-19 pandemic: a multivariate analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted many sectors, including the education sector. After in-person school activities were suspended due to the pandemic, a number of educational institutions in Indonesia reported concerns in implementing online learning due to the institutions’ unpreparedness. This issue may potentially induce mental health disorders among students and triggers long-term stress. This study aimed to examine factors linked to the psychosocial symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression in response to the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. An online cross-sectional study in Indonesia was conducted with 433 undergraduate and senior high school students aged 15 to 26 years old, both female and male. The self-reported symptoms were analyzed using both bivariate and multivariate linear regression methods. It was found that the percentage of participants with depression symptoms was 66%, while 61% and 43% participants experienced stress and anxiety respectively. The bivariate analysis presented strong correlations between anxiety and gender, learning duration and use of gadgets, internet expenses, and highly-interrupted learning. Furthermore, the multivariate regression revealed that only anxiety was significantly linked to internet expenses. This study indicates that many students are affected by COVID-19, the impacts of which manifest in psychosocial issues in the form of anxiety. We suggest that creating a supportive and positive family environment would help to alleviate some of these issues
