Lancet Series on Health in Southeast Asia Author Workshop

webelancetThe Lancet Series on Health in Southeast Asia was conceived of in early 2009 as the partnership between China Medical Board, The Rockefeller Foundation, and The Lancet. It aimed to follow on to the success of China Medical Board and The Lancet’s collaboration on the Health System Reform in China Series launched in 2008. The Health in Southeast Asia Series was launched in Bangkok in May 2009 at a brainstorming consultation hosted by Rockefeller Foundation.
This series would be the first Lancet Series focused on geographic region and thus posed some special challenges in forging a regional vision and common geography for the Series. The Series purpose is to scientifically analyze regional health developments for policy dialogue through the academic production of a set of scientific papers. The Series also aims to promote research capacity-building by engaging with younger researcher and by seeking to foster longer term research collaborations within the region. Over time, it is expected that regional health researcher and policy makers will assume leadership of the Series for policy dialogue, publication, and dissemination.
The Bangkok brainstorming consultation in May 2009 has generated a list of prioritized health topics for consideration as thematic papers and commentaries in the series. Teams were formed to begin the development of detailed outlines of the Theme papers. The teams further worked on initial drafts of the papers. Hoi An first author workshop has produced the revised first drafts of Theme papers and a series of Commentaries for the Series.
The second author workshop aims to produce revised second drafts of Theme papers to be submitted for peer review process. The workshop will help finalize the Theme papers, strengthen their analytics and policy relevance, and thus ensure the highly qualified scientific papers. The following is the list of six Theme papers:
1) Health in Southeast Asia : Equity with diversity
2) An unfinished agenda : Under nutrition, maternal and child health
3) Infectious diseases : Emergence and re-emergence
4) Growing burdens : Non-communicable diseases as development challenges
5) Reforming health systems and financing mechanisms

Center of Reproductive Health

Center of Reproductive Health is dedicated to implement three missions of higher education or university (Tri Darma Perguruan Tinggi), which aims at achieving goals to be a center of excellence and innovation on reproductive health research, demographic and health surveillance, and educational activities to increase population health status. Its main objectives are: 1) to undertake demographic and public surveillance at household level to understand reproductive health behavior as well as descriptive health, nutritional, epidemiologic, demographic, and social-economic determinants that are fundamentals to health planning and provision of reproductive health care services; 2) to develop public health prevention and intervention actions to accelerate the achievement of MDGs goal related to reproductive health problems, including development of new contraceptive technology; 3) to evaluate effectiveness and efficiencies of reproductive health programs targeted to large population, such as screening, immunization or vaccination program for mother and children, and micronutrient and food supplementation program for targeted group; 4) to offer facilities for degree and non-degree training on public health and reproductive health sciences that apply demographic and health surveillance.
Department of MCH-RH has been establishing a community and health and nutrition research laboratory (CHN-RL) since the late of 1994. The CHN-RL has been used to facilitate the faculty and students’ researches, as well as efforts to test new an intervention and training area for the Government’s worker. CHNRL based at Purworedjo district, offers the opportunity to gain experience in data collection and analysis of large-scale population-and clinical-based epidemiological studies. Students and researchers also have the opportunity to pursue gynecological as well as reproductive health topics at the Sardjito Hospital, to name a few of the extensive resources available. The CHN-RL is member of INDEPTH Network, which link scientist working in population and demography across the world. Students and researchers may also collaborate with other faculty members at the Department Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, and the Sardjito-affiliated hospitals.
Some of the collaborative research that has been successfully completed in the past are:

  1. Impact evaluation of vitamin A supplementation on maternal & neonatal infection & prematurity; CHNRL-Mother Care Applied Research Program. John Snow Inc. Arlington, Virginia, U.S.A; July 1995 – June 1997.
  2. The effect of reproduction on the energy stores of women; CHNRL-Faculty of Medicine Gadjah Mada University – Swedish Agency for Research Cooperation with Developing Countries (SAREC); July 1994 – July 1998.

Seminar of Psycosocial Aspect on Obstetric / Genecology

Pengantar
Usia reproduktif merupakan masa yang paling kompleks dalam hidup manusia. Kehamilan dan periode setelahnya banyak dijumpai gangguan mental yang mempengaruhi kesehatan reproduksi atau justru menjadi komplikasi ikutan. Banyak informasi yang belum terformulasi dengan baik tentang aspek mental dalam usia reproduksi. Tujuan seminar ini adalah untuk mengumpulkan berbagai tinjauan aspek mental yang di kemudian hari diharapkan menjadi area penelitian yang cukup luas. Tujuan yang lain adalah meningkatkan praktek dan pelayanan klinik terhadap ibu yang mengalami kesulitan dalam kesehatan reproduksinya. Dalam suatu keluarga ibu adalah tumpuan perhatian: semua anggota keluarga tergantung pada keceriaan, keinginan berkorban, kasih sayang ibu. Oleh karena itu membantu ibu mengatasi kesulitasnnya dalam masa reproduksi berarti juga memberikan dukungan moral bagi kesehatan generasi berikutnya.

Course of Qualitative Methods for Reproductive Health Research

Pengantar
Saat ini minat semakin meningkat untuk memperluas ruang lingkup dan penerapan riset kesehatan di luar pemakaian indikator dasar seperti mortalitas dan morbiditas, ataupun survei terstruktur seperti survei KAP.
Perubahan ini dipicu oleh beberapa keadaan:

  1. Pengakuan bahwa pemahaman dari studi antropologi, terutama dalam antropologi kedokteran sangat berguna. Terutama dalam meningkatkan pemahaman mengapa orang berpikir atau berperilaku seperti sekarang ini dan bagaimana pengaruhnya pada kesehatan.
  2. Bukti bahwa cara pandang profesional kesehatan sangat berfokus pada kenyataan dan ada kebutuhan untuk mempertimbangkan perspektif pasien/klien/konsumen.
  3. Perhatian untuk menggali intervensi kesehatan masyarakat yang menyangkut multi strategi sehingga tidak cukup hanya menggunakan desain riset evaluasi konvensional.
  4. Pengakuan bahwa metode kualitatif berperan dalam meningkatkan praktek berbasis bukti.
