The Nutrition Study Program of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKes) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta received a visit from a team of assessors from the Institute for Self-Accreditation of Higher Education in Health (LAMPT-Kes) on Friday (31/1/2025). This visit is part of the reaccreditation process of the nutrition study program which aims to ensure the quality and standard of education provided.

The field assessment was held in the 4th floor courtroom of the Siti Moendjijah building and was attended by two assessors from LAMPT-Kes, namely Dr. Ahmad Faridi, SP, MKM, C.IP, C.TM and Dr. Muflihah Isnawati, DCN, M.Sc. Both were tasked with conducting data checks and interviews with UNISA Yogyakarta students and stakeholders.

The Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, in her speech expressed her full support for the reaccreditation process. She also hoped that all the efforts made can bring UNISA Yogyakarta Nutrition Study Program to be superior, more qualified, and able to play an active role in improving public health.

“Hopefully all the efforts we make today will lead us to an excellent nutrition study program, increasingly qualified and able to play an active role in improving public health,” said Warsiti.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ahmad Faridi explained that his task in this field assessment was to validate and verify the data and evidence that had been sent by the Nutrition Study Program to LAMPT-Kes. He also emphasized the importance of cooperation from all relevant parties to prepare the data needed by the assessors.

“We only need cooperation from all parties here to prepare what is needed by the assessors, namely in the form of data that we need to see is appropriate,” said Faridi.

The results of this field assessment will be the basis for LAMPT-Kes to determine the accreditation status of UNISA Yogyakarta’s Nutrition Study Program. This accreditation is important to ensure the quality of education and graduates of the Nutrition Study Program, as well as to give confidence to the public that this study program meets the standards that have been set.

The Rainy Season Is Still Not Over, The Threat of Dengue Fever (DHF) Still Exists

,

The ongoing rainy season brings a variety of impacts, from benefits for the agricultural sector to challenges in public health. One disease that often becomes a major concern during this season is Dengue Fever (DHF). This disease poses a serious threat every year, especially in tropical regions like Indonesia. High humidity and stagnant water caused by rain create an ideal environment for breeding Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the main vector of dengue virus spread.

Stagnant water that forms in various places, ranging from gutters, open water containers, to used objects such as cans or old tires, becomes a place for mosquitoes to lay eggs. Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes only need a small amount of water to lay their eggs, which will then hatch into larvae within a few days. The mosquito’s rapid life cycle means its population can increase dramatically during the rainy season, increasing the risk of dengue transmission.

The spread of the dengue virus occurs when an infected mosquito bites a human. The virus enters the bloodstream through the mosquito’s saliva and begins to replicate in the body. Symptoms of DHF usually appear within four to ten days after the bite, characterized by high fever, severe headache, joint pain, and red spots on the skin. In more severe cases, the disease can cause plasma leakage, bleeding, and even death if not treated immediately.

The rainy season also extends the life span of mosquitoes. The high humidity during this season provides ideal conditions for mosquitoes to remain active in biting and spreading the virus. Not only outdoors, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can also breed inside the house, especially in uncovered or not regularly drained water containers, such as bathtubs, dispensers, and pet drinking places.

This situation is exacerbated by people’s low awareness of the importance of keeping the environment clean. Many people do not realize that even small puddles can serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. In addition, the habit of piling up garbage or leaving used items around the house without being properly managed also increases the risk.

Global climate change is also affecting the pattern of dengue spread. Warmer temperatures and more frequent rainfall create a longer rainy season cycle. This allows mosquitoes to breed more and accelerates the cycle of dengue virus spread. The combination of climate change and lack of effective prevention measures has caused the number of dengue cases to increase every year in many areas.

The government and various health institutions have taken steps to minimize the risk of dengue spread. A mosquito nest eradication program that involves the community is one of the main efforts to reduce the mosquito population. Fogging is also conducted in areas with high cases to kill adult mosquitoes. However, the success of this program is highly dependent on the active participation of the community.

In addition, education on the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness must continue to be promoted. People need to understand that prevention is more effective than treatment. Recognizing the early symptoms of DHF and seeking immediate medical attention is also key to reducing the severity and mortality of the disease.

However, government efforts are not enough without the full support of the community. Each individual has an important role in preventing the spread of DHF, especially by maintaining a clean environment around the house. By regularly cleaning up standing water, covering water containers, and recycling used items, we can break the life cycle of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Earthquake Disaster Simulation: Improving UNISA Nursing Students’ Competence in Emergency Situations

,

Disaster Simulation 2

The Nursing Study Program of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta (UNISA) held an earthquake disaster management simulation involving 232 final year students. This activity aims to improve the technical competence and mental readiness of students in dealing with disaster emergency situations, Saturday (25/01).

This simulation is part of the Disaster Nursing course and is carried out in collaboration with various parties, including the UNISA Center for Women, Family and Disaster Studies (PSPKB), the DIY Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), and the DIY Social Service (TAGANA).

The Dean of UNISA Yogyakarta’s Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr. Rokhana Dewi, SSiT, MPH, opened the event by emphasizing the importance of training for death students in facing disaster challenges.

“This training equips students to become resilient, competent, and responsive health workers,” said Dewi.

Head of the Nursing Study Program at UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Sarwinanti, S.Kep., Ns., M.Kep., Sp.Mat., added that this simulation not only trains technical skills, but also builds students’ character to be able to work in teams and make quick decisions under pressure.

The simulation was guided by a team of lecturers who are experts in emergency and disaster management, namely Wawan Febri Ramdani, S.Kep., Ns., M.Kep., Dwi Prihatingsih, S.Kep., Ns., M.Ng., Efi Fibriyanti, S.Kep., Ns., M.NS., as well as Abdul Aziz, Enaryaka and others. They assisted students in a large earthquake scenario that caused infrastructure damage and many casualties.

Students were divided into several teams with their respective roles, such as the Rapid Health Assessment (RHA) Team, Field Hospital Team, Emergency Medical Team (EMT), and Support Team. Each team has a specific task in handling emergency situations, from initial assessment to evacuation of victims.

This simulation is designed with a high level of realism, using properties and medical equipment that resemble real conditions in the field. It aims to provide hands-on experience to students, so that they can feel the pressure and challenges that arise in disaster situations.

Dewi emphasized that this activity is a form of UNISA’s commitment to support government programs in disaster risk reduction. She hopes that this activity can provide direct benefits for students, both during their studies and when they enter the community as health professionals.

,

News, News

Communication Science Students of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta held a Communication Science Student Action Gala (Galaksi), at Militarie Societiet Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, Thursday (23/1/2025). In addition to being a forum for student creativity, this year’s Galaksi also tried to respond to current issues surrounding the rampant circulation of alcohol in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY).

“Galaksi is a place for students to showcase the work produced through a long process of learning in the odd semester 2024/2025. The works on display range from photography, film works, and magazines by responding to the issue of liquor circulation in DIY,” said the Chief Executive of Galaksi 2025, Najwa Azzuro.

Galaksi is expected to be a vehicle to continue to hone analytical skills, increase creativity, foster a spirit of collaboration, and dare to take action. “Like our jargon, work, act, speak out,” added Najwa.

Through Galaksi, students also apply their soft skills , ranging from cinematography, writing, photography, to editing techniques. Najwa hopes that the works produced can have a positive impact on society. “Hopefully, next time the student works will be even cooler,” said Najwa.

In Galaksi 2025, nine student films were screened. The students tried to convey messages about the dangers of alcohol with visual language. The nine films were titled Batas Antara, Semu, Cheers, Garis Hitam Putih, Angkara, Kasur, Nasoka, Banyu Buthek, and Epilogue.

The enthusiasm of the audience to watch this student work was also very high, as seen from the audience filling the Militarie Societiet Taman Budaya Yogyakarta.

During the magazine review session, the work of Unisa Yogyakarta Communication Science students also received appreciation from CNN Indonesia Senior Journalist, Hendrawan Setiawan. He considered the theme raised about the rampant circulation of alcohol, relevant to current issues, especially in DIY.

“This is very relevant. It cannot be negotiated anymore, the issue in Jogja was initially ignored. It went viral later because the students (became victims of people who were influenced by alcohol) did so. No viral no justice ,” Hendrawan said with a smile.

The issue of alcohol is also getting bigger, because it has received encouragement from civil society groups. Including community organizations including Muhammadiyah, NU, and other Muslim groups. Hendrawan said the work of journalists is very close to public issues. Journalists bridge the community and policy makers.

“This profession captures, documents events in society. Friends document issues that are worthy of public knowledge, by confirming many parties. This opens our eyes, moreover this is done by student journalists,” said Hendrawan.
