Enablers and Barriers of Healthcare Services for Community-Dwelling Elderly in Rural Indonesia: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis: Facilitadores e barreiras dos serviços de saúde para os idosos das comunidades nas zonas rurais da Indonésia: uma síntese qualitativa das provas.

Introduction: Healthcare services for elderly populations in Indonesia have been arranged in both institutional and community services.

Sustaining maternal and child health programs when donor funding ends: A case study of stakeholder involvement in Indonesia.

There has been a dearth of evidence in exploring the role of stakeholders in making the transition process from donor to local responsibility successful in relation to maternal and child health programs to date. This study aimed to generate practical experiences concerning stakeholder involvement in sustaining maternal and child health programs when donor support ends, so as to lead systematic strategies for supporting the success of the post-transition process and capture critical challenges of the programme's sustainability. This study employed Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with district healthcare stakeholders such as hospital managers, district health officers, community health centres, community associations and local authorities.

Foot self-care behavior and its predictors in diabetic patients in Indonesia.

Objectives: Previous studies have shown that diabetic foot ulcers are principally associated with improper foot self-care. Since appropriate foot self-care is essential to prevent diabetic foot-ulcers, any factors which can predict foot self-care behavior should be identified. However, until now, foot self-care behavior data and predictors of foot-care behavior in Indonesia remain unclear since such studies on Indonesian diabetic patients is very limited.
