Participatory Action Research to Realize Disaster Health Crisis Preparedness in the Community
Abstract:
Many Disaster Resilient Villages in Indonesia still face obstacles in
realizing preparedness for health crises due to disasters. This study aimed to
facilitate the Disaster Resilient Village Forum in realizing an early warning
system that is easily responded to by the community and mobilization of health
resources in the disaster health crisis preparedness phase. This study was
conducted using the Participatory Action Research approach involving 150
participants from 4 Disaster Resilient Villages. The research objects include:
1) preparation of a participatory health crisis contingency plan document; 2)
facilitating the socialization of early warning systems to vulnerable groups;
3) facilitation of disaster health crisis emergency response simulation; and 4)
measuring the level of village resilience. The approach was carried out in several
cycles consisting of 4 steps, namely planning, acting, observing and
reflecting. The results of the study showed that the forum and the community
implemented the four research objectives well by the objectives in one cycle.
It is further concluded that the Participatory Action Research approach can be
used well to facilitate the Disaster Resilient Village Forum in realizing an
early warning system that is easily responded to by the community and the
mobilization of health resources in the disaster health crisis preparedness
phase.
