Samenvatting

Preface: This study is part of the collaboration between the School of Nursing from the HUAS with Diponegoro University in Semarang, Central Java and with the Hasanuddin University in Makassar, South Sulawesi. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this study has been conducted online.

In 2020 the COVID-19 virus started spreading across the globe. It affected Indonesia significantly. After declaring the pandemic a national disaster, the government has assigned the puskesmas the crucial role of health promotion. The goal of this health promotion is to improve the public’s knowledge and attitudes regarding COVID-19 and to support their health and well-being.

The aim of this research is to map and describe the current organisation and execution of health promotion regarding COVID-19 in puskesmas Pudakpayung (Semarang) and in puskesmas Rappokalling (Makassar). This way, possible strengths and weaknesses in health promotion and factors affecting the organisation or execution can be uncovered and views can be exchanged by both puskesmas.
Research question - How is health promotion regarding COVID-19 currently organised and carried out in the puskesmas Pudakpayung and Rappokalling?
Method - A qualitative research design in which data is collected by means of conducting online semi-structured interviews with eight health workers. From puskesmas Pudakpayung two nurses and a health promoter; from puskesmas Rappokalling a nursing student, a nurse, a health promoter, the head of the puskesmas and a health volunteer were interviewed.
Results - Puskesmas Pudakpayung and Rappokalling conduct health promotion in a hierarchical organisation, according to government instructions. They have two teams, one provides health promotion inside the puskesmas and one outside in the community. Inside the puskesmas, health workers mainly give individual health promotion to the patients. The health workers from the puskesmas go out into the community to provide health promotion via car and megaphone, handing out flyers, addressing groups of people or going to their houses. In addition, information is spread via several social media platforms. Key figures in the community are involved to reach more people and spread awareness. An often mentioned barrier in providing health promotion was the attitude of the community.
Conclusion - Both puskesmas have a hierarchical organisation structure, closely follow government instructions and have two teams carrying out health promotion. Social media is fairly often used in providing health promotion by many health workers. The negative attitude of the community towards the COVID-19 health protocols is a hindering factor in carrying out
health promotion.
Recommendations - Puskesmas Rappokalling should create a Facebook and Instagram account, managed by nursing students, to provide health promotion to the community. Both puskesmas should use social media to combat fake news and hoaxes. Further research about the effectiveness of the current health promotion should be conducted, as well as more in-depth research about the organisation and execution
