Pentingnya identifikasi kendala atau hambatan yang dihadapi oleh OBK memunculkan strategi atau alternatif solusi untuk mengatasi kendala, serta memberikan gambaran model intervensi yang lebih sinkron antara pemerintah dan masyarakat. Desain penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan melakukan studi kasus di dua LSM Peduli AIDS di Jakarta. Informan dipilih secara purposive sampling yaitu pengurus, anggota/petugas, dan dampingan dari dua OBK. Pengumpulan informasi dengan wawancara mendalam berdasarkan pedoman wawancara dan diolah menggunakan metode content analysis. Kendala yang dihadapi OBK yaitu alur rujukan BPJS yang mengikuti domisili sehingga memberatkan pasien, kurang optimalnya koordinasi dan kerjasama antara OBK dengan Puskesmas, belum meratanya kualitas dan kapasitas SDM anggota OBK, persoalan administratif organisasi, sumber dana yang tidak selalu kontinu, adanya perbedaan kepentingan antara OBK dengan pihak kepolisian, serta masih tingginya stigma masyarakat terhadap penderita HIV/AIDS. Solusi mengatasi kendala OBK dilakukan dengan peningkatan efektifitas pelaksanaan program pemerintah melalui OBK, antara lain dengan penerapan fleksibilitas pengelolaan dana berdasarkan kinerja OBK, peningkatan kapasitas SDM, pemantapan sistem manajerial, pemahaman alur layanan kesehatan di Puskesmas, serta social support bagi penderita HIV/AIDS. Kata kunci: organisasi berbasis komunitas, LSM, HIV/AIDS Abstract The increasing number of HIV/AIDS cases in Indonesia that impact not only on health issues, spur the Government to involve civil society in community-based organizations (OBK) to play a role in HIV/AIDS prevention program. Identification of constraints or obstacles faced by OBK do as they can generate alternative strategies or solutions to overcome these constraints, and provide a more synchronous model of intervention between the government and the community. This type of research is a case study at two AIDS Awareness NGOs in Jakarta. The informants were chosen by purposive sampling ie the board, members/officers, and assistants from the two NGOs. Information collection with by in-depth interview based on interview guideline and processed using content analysis method. Constraints faced by the OBK is the issue of referral flow pathways that follow the domicile so burdensome patients, less optimal coordination and cooperation between OBK with primary health care, uneven quality and capacity of human resources of NGO members, organizational administrative issues, sources of funds that are not always continuous, different interests between the OBK with the police department, and the stigma. Reduction of obstacles faced by OBK can be done by increasing the effectiveness of government program implementation through OBK, among others by applying flexibility of fund management based on OBK performance, human resource capacity building, managerial system strengthening, understanding of health service flow in primary health care, and social support for patient HIV/AIDS.

To examine the nature and content of messages presented in a popular Chinese online community about intimate partner violence (IPV), this study utilized a two-step analytic approach that combined quantitative content analysis and automatic content analysis. We collected 90,040 messages from the online community’s IPV group. Study 1 analyzed 8,343 randomly selected messages. The findings suggest that social support is commonly presented, while only a few messages expressed blame toward the victims.

BACKGROUND Three major US tobacco companies were recently ordered to publish corrective statements intended to prevent and restrain further fraud about the health effects of smoking. The court-ordered statements began appearing in newspapers and on television (TV) in late 2017. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the social media dissemination of the tobacco corrective statements during the first 6 months of the implementation of the statements. METHODS We conducted a descriptive content analysis of Twitter posts using an iterative search strategy through Crimson Hexagon and randomly selected 19.74% (456/2309) of original posts occurring between November 1, 2017, and March 27, 2018, for coding and analysis. We assessed post volume over time, source or author, valence, linked content, and reference to the industry (eg, big tobacco, tobacco industry, and Philip Morris) and media outlet (TV or newspaper). Retweeted content was coded for source/author and prevalence. RESULTS Most posts were published in November 2017, surrounding the initial release of the corrective statements. Content was generally neutral (58.7%, 268/456) or positive (33.3%, 152/456) in valence, included links to additional information about the statements (94.9%, 433/456), referred to the industry (87.7%, 400/456), and did not mention a specific media channel on which the statements were aired or published (15%). The majority of original posts were created by individual users (55.2%, 252/456), whereas the majority of retweeted posts were posted by public health organizations (51%). Differences by source are reported, for example, organization posts are more likely to include a link to additional information compared with individual users (<italic>P</italic>=.03). CONCLUSIONS Conversations about the court-ordered corrective statements are taking place on Twitter and are generally neutral or positive in nature. Public health organizations may be increasing the prevalence of these conversations through social media engagement.

Abstract This study sought to investigate the ways recently bereaved African American middle to older aged adults conceptualized both prior and present loss. Fourteen African American men and women aged 46 years and older (M=62.6) completed one time, in-person semi-structured interviews detailing their grief experiences. Interview transcripts were then coded using a content analysis. Four themes were reported during prior loss (Continuing on with Normal Life/ Time, Faith/ Religion, Reminiscing/ Reminiscence, Social Support) along with present loss (Faith/ Religion, Keeping Busy, Reminiscence, Social Support). Men and women in the sample were found to cope in relatively consistent manners despite the timing of the loss, and in manners consistent with literature detailing African American grief outcomes. This information could help inform both bereaved African Americans and those seeking to aid African Americans during times of bereavement in proactively having knowledge of coping mechanisms that have been used historically and found to be beneficial.

Use Of Social Media

Objectives A growing body of health communication scholarship has explored the utility of social media platforms for eliciting social support, although much of this scholarship has focused on Facebook and Twitter. This study contributes to this body of research by identifying support in comments submitted to depression-related Imgur posts. Furthermore, the use of non-bona fide linguistic features (e.g. humor, sarcasm, and irony) is documented for comparison with supportive elements. Methods A content analysis was performed of 1530 comments submitted in response to 20 popular Imgur posts about depression, including the emergence of four social support types outlined by the Multi-Dimensional Support Scale—reassuring, empathic, informational, and tangible support—as well as non-bona fide features. Results Findings suggest a supportive discourse, with nearly 60% of comments containing some supportive element. Reassuring and informational support emerged most prominently (26.3% and 26.2% of comments, respectively), followed by empathic (22.9%) and tangible (0.3%) support types. Non-bona fide features manifested in 28.8% of comments. Results indicate significant covariation between non-bona fide features and support, as these infrequently co-occurred. Conclusions This study’s findings suggest that depression-related messages frequently receive support from Imgur commenters, especially reassuring and informational support. Additionally, this study provides a conceptual framework for future analyses of online social support by integrating non-bona fide communication with established support types. The results of this study could have implications for health professionals and scholars interested in the use of social media platforms such as Imgur, which serves a predominantly young male demographic, for support provision.

Background: The aim of the study was to describe factors that contribute to the occurrence of workplace bullying, that enable it to continue and the coping strategies managers use when they are bullied. Methods: A qualitative study design was applied. Twenty-two managers from the private and public sectors were interviewed. Data were analyzed by means of content analysis. Results: Several factors could be linked to the bullying: being new in the managerial position; lack of clarity about roles and expectations; taking over a work group with ongoing conflicts; reorganizations. The bullying usually lasted for quite some time. Factors that allowed the bullying to continue were passive bystanders and the bullies receiving support from higher management. The managers in this study adopted a variety of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies. However, in the end most chose to leave the organization. Only four remained in their managerial position at the time of the interview. Conclusions: The study concludes that bullying can occur in all types of organization. To prevent it we need to look primarily at organizational factors. Social support is also crucial for managers’ ability to cope successfully with bullying.
