Addressing knowledge, attitude and practice gaps for effective dengue management strategies in Indonesia
Background: Dengue is a significant public health issue in Indonesia, facing a substantial year-round disease burden and rising incidence. However, comprehensive assessments of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) regarding dengue in the Indonesian adult population are limited. This study provides one of the first comprehensive evaluations of KAP in Indonesia, aiming to inform integrated dengue management programs. Methods: This study utiliz…
Should neighbours of tuberculosis (TB) cases be prioritised for active case finding in high TB-burden settings? A prospective molecular epidemiological study
Introduction In high tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries, considerable transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ) likely occurs outside of households. We aimed to estimate the TB prevalence and incidence in households and neighbourhoods around known TB cases and to understand transmission patterns. Methods Household and neighbourhood contacts of pulmonary TB index cases from contiguous areas in Bandung, Indonesia, were screened and follo…
Determinants of adherence towards tuberculosis guidelines among Indonesian private practitioners
INTRODUCTION: In high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, the private sector manages a large proportion of initial visits by presumptive patients with TB. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor of TB cases globally, private practitioners (PPs) often do not adhere to national TB guidelines. A district public-private mix programme to mitigate this issue was started in 2019, yet engagement remains low. This study examines what affects the deci…
Tuberculosis care provided by private practitioners in an urban setting in Indonesia
In Indonesia, government-owned Community Health Centers (CHCs) spearhead tuberculosis (TB) care at the primary level, but a substantial proportion of individuals with pulmonary TB also seek care from Private Practitioners (PPs). However, little is known about PPs’ practice in managing patients with TB-associated symptoms. To avoid bias associated with self-administered surveys, we used standardized patients (SPs) to evaluate PPs’ adherence to the…
The shifting landscape of private healthcare providers before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction COVID-19 pandemic changed many aspects of healthcare services and deliveries, including among private healthcare providers (i.e., private healthcare facilities [HCFs] and private practitioners [PPs]). We aimed to compare the spatial distribution of private providers and describe changes in characteristics and services offered during and before the COVID-19 pandemic, and explore the tuberculosis (TB) and COVID-19-related services offe…
Care pathways of individuals with tuberculosis before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Bandung, Indonesia
The COVID-19 pandemic is thought to have undone years’ worth of progress in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). For instance, in Indonesia, a high TB burden country, TB case notifications decreased by 14% and treatment coverage decreased by 47% during COVID-19. We sought to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on TB case detection using two cross-sectional surveys conducted before (2018) and after the onset of the pandemic (2021). These surv…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on quality of tuberculosis care in private facilities in Bandung, Indonesia
Results indicate that providers successfully identify tuberculosis in their patients yet do not manage them according to national guidelines. There were no major changes found in quality of tuberculosis care due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As tuberculosis notifications have declined in Indonesia due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains an urgent need to increase private provider engagement in Indonesia and improve quality of care
The inclusion of diagnostics in national health insurance schemes in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Viet Nam
The Lancet Commission on Diagnostics highlighted a huge gap in access to diagnostic testing even for basic tests, particularly at the primary care level, and emphasised the need for countries to include diagnostics as part of their universal health coverage benefits packages. Despite the poor state of diagnostic-related services in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), little is known about the extent to which diagnostics are included i…
Factors associated with non-adherence during tuberculosis treatment among patients treated with Dots strategy in Jayapura, Papua Province, Indonesia
BACKGROUND: Despite the implementation of Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) strategy in all public health centers in Papua Province, Indonesia, since 1998, the rate of loss to follow-up (LTFU) during tuberculosis (TB) treatment remains high (above 16%). OBJECTIVES: We aimed to identify factors associated with non-adherence during TB treatment among patients treated at public health centers (PHCs) in Jayapura, Papua. METHOD: We condu…
Social multiplier effects
BACKGROUND: The Tuberculosis Operational Research Group (TORG) implemented a capacity-building model involving academics and practitioners (i.e. clinicians or program staff) in an operational research (OR) team in Indonesia. OBJECTIVE: This study explored academics' and practitioners' perspectives regarding the benefits of participating in a tuberculosis (TB) OR capacity-building program in Indonesia. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative study inv…
The path to impact of operational research on tuberculosis control policies and practices in Indonesia
BACKGROUND: Operational research is currently one of the pillars of the global strategy to control tuberculosis. Indonesia initiated capacity building for operational research on tuberculosis over the last decade. Although publication of the research in peer-reviewed journals is an important indicator for measuring the success of this endeavor, the influence of operational research on policy and practices is considered even more important. Howeve…
Embedding operational research into national disease control programme
There is growing recognition that operational research (OR) should be embedded into national disease control programmes. However, much of the current OR capacity building schemes are still predominantly driven by international agencies with limited integration into national disease control programmes. We demonstrated that it is possible to achieve a more sustainable capacity building effort across the country by establishing an OR group within th…
