Jumlah populasi individu berkebutuhan khusus di Indonesia semakin meningkat seiring dengan waktu. Individu berkebutuhan khusus (IBK) dapat memiliki berbagai keterbatasan seperti keterbatasan dalam kemampuan intelektual dan fisik, gangguan kondisi jiwa, dan juga masalah medis yang kompleks sehingga membuat populasi ini semakin rentan mengalami gangguan kesehatan mulut dan membutuhkan akses serta pelayanan perawatan kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Dokter gigi Indonesia yang memiliki spesialisasi dan kemampuan di bidang perawatan gigi dan mulut IBK masih langka sehingga besar kemungkinan bahwa perawatan gigi dan mulut pasien IBK dilakukan oleh dokter gigi umum atau spesialis. Namun sampai saat ini, tidak ditemukan data mengenai pelayanan kedokteran gigi bagi IBK oleh dokter gigi Indonesia dan bagaimana pengetahuan dan persepsi dokter gigi Indonesia dalam melakukan special needs dentistry/special care dentistry (SND/SCD). Studi ini merupakan penelitian dengan desain potong lintang dan deskriptif analitik menggunakan kuesioner yang telah diadaptasi lintas budaya ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Hasil uji reliabilitas dan validitas kuesioner ini adalah baik (acceptable). Sebanyak 250 responden yang merupakan dokter gigi dan dokter gigi spesialis berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Hanya 26,4% responden yang memiliki persepsi yang baik mengenai SND/SCD dan mayoritas (70%) responden tidak melakukan SND/SCD. Meskipun demikian, persepsi responden terhadap pasien SND/SCD pada penelitian ini dominan positif kecuali pada kelompok pasien penyakit menular. Persepsi responden juga dominan nyaman, kecuali pada kelompok pasien dengan penyakit menular dan masalah psikologis atau perilaku. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara persepsi SND/SCD dengan karakteristik demografi, namun terdapat hubungan yang bermakna secara statistik antara komponen SND/SCD dalam pendidikan dokter gigi dengan persepsi dan kemampuan dalam SND/SCD. Selain itu, terdapat perbedaan perasaan dan kenyamanan terhadap perawatan pasien SND/SCD antara dokter gigi umum dan dokter gigi spesialis. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa persepsi mengenai SND/SCD pada responden dokter gigi DKI Jakarta belum baik namun responden cenderung memiliki persepsi yang positif dan nyaman kepada pasien SND/SCD.

Population of special needs individuals in Indonesia is steadily increasing. Special needs individuals may have various disabilities such as physical and intelectual disabilities, mental health and complex medical problems which made this population more prone to oral health problems and requires access to oral health care services. Indonesian dentists who have specialization and ability in special needs dentistry/special care dentistry (SND/SCD) are rare thus there is a high chance that general dentists or other specialist dentists perform the oral health care to special needs individuals. Currently, data on SND/SCD in Indonesia and Indonesian dentists’ knowledge and perception towards SND/SCD are lacking. This study was a cross-sectional and analytical descriptive study using a questionnaire which has been cross-adapted into Indonesian language. Reliability and validity tests were performed and yielded accetable scores. A total of 250 respondents which consisted of dentists and specialist dentists participated in this study. This study found that only 26.4% respondents had good perception in SND/SCD and 70% of respondents did not practice SND/SCD. Nevertheless, respondents’ perception towards groups of special needs patients were mostly positive except on the group of patients with infectious disease and respondents were mostly comfortable in treating special needs patients except in group of patients with infectious disease and psychological or behavioral problems. There was no correlation between SND/SCD perception and demographical characteristics. However, there were statistically significant correlations between SND/SCD component in undergraduate dental training with the perception and ability in SND/SCD. Moreover, there were significant correlations between dentists and specialist dentists towards treatment in special needs patients. In conclusion, the respondents in this study had poor perception in SND/SCD although there were tendecies of positive and comfortable perception towards special needs patients.

The research informants consisted of the heads and members of the PPDS-PPDGS working team members, IT managers at the Riau, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and South Sulawesi Provinces Health Offices. The research was conducted from May-June 2023. The research results show that the policy implementation has been going well, but there are still a number of things that still need to be improved. The size and objective variables of the PDS-DGS cost assistance policy are clear and can be measured and are contained in the performance indicators for the Directorate of Health Workforce Provision activities contained in the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Health. Inter-organizational policy communication runs well between the Directorate for the provision of health workers, the Provincial Health Office and other stakeholders through regular outreach and coordination. The resources in implementing the PDS-DGS financial assistance policy, both human resources, budget, and authority, have been well optimized by the Directorate for Provision of Health Personnel, but for facility resources, namely the information system, development is still needed so that it can be used optimally. The characteristics of implementing organizations are supported by the availability of complete policy implementation SOPs and a clear division of authority between organizations. In the disposition variable, the commitment of the leadership and the work team in implementing the PDS-DGS financial assistance policy by carrying out tasks according to their respective roles and responsibilities. The economic, social and political environment variables show the amount of support from relevant stakeholders in the implementation of the PDS-DGS financial assistance policy."

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge, perception, attitudes, and practices of dentists in Jakarta towards HIV/AIDS and infection control procedures, and willingness to treat HIV/AIDS patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire toward 189 dentists in 15 subdistricts randomly selected in Jakarta. Dentist with experience of any postgraduate study related to medicine or dentistry was excluded.

Results: Majority of respondents had poor knowledge (76.7%) and attitudes (58.2%), with average level of perception and practices associated with dental treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS. Among 5 topics in the knowledge section, the lowest result was about dental management, while the highest was about HIV transmission. Only 47.1% showed willingness to give dental treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS. Two main reason of refusal reported by the dentists was fear of HIV transmission and lack of knowledge about dental management for HIV/AIDS patients. Multivariate analysis revealed several factors which could be used to predict dentist willingness: positive perception (OR 7.26; 95% CI, 1.33-39.72; p = 0.022), average attitude (OR 6.63; 95% CI, 2.99-14.68; p = 0.000), not working in private practice (OR 3.66; 95% CI, 1.01-13.27; p = 0.048), and male gender (OR 3.48; 95% CI, 1.36-8.90; p = 0.009).

Conclusion: Willingness of dentists in this study had strongest correlation with attitudes, followed by perception and practices. Knowlege was correlated with perception and attitudes; perception was correlated with knowledge, attitudes, and willingness; attitudes was correlated with knowledge, perception, practices, and willingness; and practices was correlated with perception, attitudes, and willingness."
