Suicide first aid guidelines for Indonesia: a Delphi consensus study

Background: The concept that "suicide is preventable" is fairly recent in Indonesia. Suicide prevention training is also new for community leaders and laypeople. On the other side, in a collectivistic society like Indonesia, community leaders, neighbours, and friends are essential parts of someone's life. Therefore, guidelines to assist first aiders in preventing suicide is urgently needed. Aim: This study aimed to develop guidelines to recognise key warning signs and provide first aid support to Indonesians at potential immediate risk for suicide. Methods: The guidelines was developed through three steps: (i) systematic literature review; (ii) focus group discussions and interviews; and (iii) expert consensus using the Delphi approach. These steps were taken to ensure that the final guidelines reflected the cultural beliefs and norms of the Indonesian context. Results: Three rounds of Delphi resulted in 460 accepted items out of 539 items generated from the literature search and group and individual interviews. Some key differences with other countries where similar studies were carried out were highlighted. Conclusions: This study emphasised the need for gatekeeper training as the ideal way of educating community members on the guidelines

Faktor-faktor Penentu Tarif Masuk Pengunjung Taman Nasional (Studi Kasus Taman Nasional Gunung Merapi)

Almost all Indonesia's national parks (NP) faced the challenge of managing their finances. One innovative way of raising additional funds was the rate of incoming visitors. Determination of entrance fee for national park was currently based on regional allocation of market system not on conditions and potentials of the respective national parks. Fees for incoming visitors were uniform for all national parks within a single regional allocation market. Such uniformity had resulted in relatively low fees for some NP and relatively high for others. As a price, visitors entrance fee required to be assessed not only from the user side but also from the manager's, especially in national parks with high potential number of visitors, such as Gunung Merapi (GMNP) with 165,851 visitors annually. The objectives of this study were to (1) identify the factors that affect the amount of entrance fee, (2) determine entrance fee based on GMNP annual management expenses using main cost approach, (3) determine entrance fee based on visitors using travel cost method and (4) determine entrance fee based on annual expenses for GMNP management and visitors. Results of the analysis showed that factors affecting GMNP entrance fee were: (1) based on annual management expenses were operational cost and total number of visitors, (2) based on visitors were travel cost, tourism attractions and total number of visitors per group, and (3) based on annual GMNP management expenses and visitors, were travel cost, tourism attractions, number of visitors per group, operational cost and total number of visitors

Il ruolo di sacerdoti Camilliani nella cura di persone vittime di pratiche di contenimento e/o reclusione a causa di malattia mentale nell’isola di Flores in Indonesia

In this ethnographic excerpt, the researchers describe their experience in Flores island Indonesia, where they collected visual testimonies on the role that local Camillian priests play in the care of people dealing with severe mental illness subjected to a practice of containment and/or imprisonment known as ‘pasung’ in bhasa Indonesia. This excerpt is part of a comparative study carried out in Ghana and Indonesia focused on exploring, through visual ethnography and participatory video, examples of collaborations between mental health professionals and traditional or faith-based healers to extrapolate what are the factors and dynamics that support such collaborations and contribute to eradicating the violation of the human rights towards people suffering with mental disorders. This excerpt provides an example from one of the few Catholic communities present in Indonesia

Dampak Pandemi Covid-19 terhadap Tenaga Kerja Formal di Indonesia

Even though the informal labour still dominates Indonesia workforce, the trend of formal labour increases each year. BPS data shows that in 2015, the percentage of formal labor reached 42,25 percent. Then it increased to 44,28 percent in 2019. As a capital-intensive sector, formal sector supports economy of Indonesia, because it is relatively safe or less prone to shut down. However, the determination of the global pandemic status on March 11, 2020 due to Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) has hit the world economy, including Indonesia. To suppress the spread of Covid-19, people are asked to work, study, or pray from home. This causes many companies suffer losses and even close their businesses, thus impacting workers. Based on data from the Ministry of Manpower 13 April 2020 as many as 1.2 million formal labour have been furloughed and 212.4 thousand have been laid off. This study aims to observe the trends of formal labour in Indonesia and the impact of Covid-19 on formal labour in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data obtained from various sources which are analyzed descriptively

Australian experts' perspectives on a curriculum for psychologists working in primary health care: implication for Indonesia.

In Indonesia there is a pressing need to scale up mental health services due to a substantial unmet need for mental health care. Integrating psychologists into primary health care can potentially deliver affordable mental health services to communities and help to close the treatment gap. Australia is one of the pioneers in integrating mental health into primary health care, and the mental health reforms in Australia may have some implications for Indonesia. The aim of this paper is to examine the Australian experience and to reflect in particular on lessons that may be learnt to inform the development of curriculum for psychologists working in primary health care in Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 Australian experts in primary mental health care. The focus of the interview was on the roles and skills of psychologists working in primary health care with a particular focus on the appropriate curriculum for psychologists. Overall, the Australian experts agreed that psychologists' roles and training should include both clinical skills and public mental health skills. The experts also agreed that psychologists should be able to educate the community about mental health issues and be capable of undertaking research and evaluation of programs. A central theme was the need for strong collaborations with general practitioners and existing agencies in the community so that psychologists are able to make appropriate referrals and also accept referrals. The lessons learnt from the Australian experience, which are most applicable to the Indonesian setting are: (1) the importance of adequate government funding of psychologists; (2) the value of evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; (3) the need to specifically train psychologists for primary care; (4) the need for flexibility in the psychologist workforce (e.g. location); and (5) the value of continuing supervision for psychologists to support them in their role

Indonesian experts' perspectives on a curriculum for psychologists working in primary health care in Indonesia.

Mental health is a critical issue in Indonesia, since its population ranks among the top five in the world and the prevalence of common mental disorders is 11.6% of the adult population. However, the need to build an effective mental health-care system that is accessible to the whole population has only been recently addressed. The Aceh tsunami in 2004 brought to the forefront an unexpected window of opportunity to build a mental health-care system. Integration of mental health care into primary health care is a key strategy to close the treatment gap for people with mental disorders. Existing integration of psychologists into primary health care is a big step to meet the shortage of mental health-care specialists. As primary mental health care is an emerging field, the perspectives of Indonesian experts on Indonesian mental health care are needed to develop a curriculum for training psychologists to work in primary health care. In this study, data have been collected through semi-structured interviews with 24 Indonesian mental health experts, and three focus group discussions with 26 psychologists. Overall, experts agreed that to be able to work in primary health-care psychologists should have roles and training ranging from clinical to advocacy skills. Participants also agreed that psychologists should work in the community and contribute to primary health care as service providers and that strong collaborations between psychologists and other primary health-care providers are the key; these can be developed partly through referral and by respecting each other's unique strengths

DOI: 10.1080/21642850.2014.912946While mental health is acknowledged as an integral part of human health, the capacity of low and middle income countries to provide adequate treatment and care for people with mental health disorders is limited. The key strategy for expanding such capacity is provision of mental health services through existing primary care services. An obstacle in achieving this goal is the limited number, and the limited mental health knowledge and skills, of doctors and nurses working in primary care. A strategy to overcome this obstacle in both high income and low and middle income countries is to have more psychologists working in primary care settings. However, the process of integrating psychologists into primary care services presents many challenges. Among these challenges is the issue of whether psychologists’ training adequately prepares them for working as part of primary care clinical teams. The integration of psychology into primary health care in Indonesia commenced in 2004 in Sleman District (Yogyakarta Province) in collaboration with the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Based on the experience so far, it is evident that the psychologists’ current education is not adequate preparation for working effectively in a primary health care setting. This study aimed to produce recommendations for a revised curriculum for psychologists working in primary health care in Indonesia, which, in the absence of other research evidence, were based on consensus among international, Australian and Indonesian experts with expertise in primary mental health care. Data were collected over a series of four inter-related studies. The first study utilised the Delphi study to ascertain the views of International experts on the ideal curriculum for psychologists working in primary health care. The second study involved semi-structured interviews with Australian experts in primary mental health care. The third study entailed interviews with Indonesian's experts in mental health care. The fourth study was a Delphi study to determine the views of Indonesian experts on recommendations for curriculum for training psychologists for primary care. These were derived from the first three studies which were analysed and then condensed into a series of 11 recommendations. Overall, International experts, Australian experts and Indonesian experts from various stages of study agreed that psychologists working in primary care require additional training in a range of clinical, advocacy, educational and leadership skills. Eleven recommendations were generated for psychologists’ training in relations to dealing with patients, interacting with other primary health care providers and high level skills in organisation, community education and policy reform
