MENGEMBANGKAN EVIDENCE BASED PUBLIC HEALTH (EBPH) HIV DAN AIDS BERBASIS SURVEILANS
Abstract: Public health
surveillance is the data collection and analysis continuously and
systematically then it is disseminated (spread) to the parties who are
responsible for the prevention of diseases and other health problems.
Surveillance constantly monitors the incidence and trends of disease, detects
and predicts outbreaks on populations, observes the factors that influence the
incidence of diseases. Furthermore, surveillance links the information to
decision makers in order to prevent and control disease, sometimes it is used
the term epidemiologic surveillance. Both public health surveillance and
epidemiological surveillance are essentially the same as they use the same
method and aim which are to control public health problems. Epidemiology is
known as the core of public health. Surveillance by WHO explained that
surveillance can be defined as the application of appropriate epidemiological
methodology and techniques to control diseases. A description of the pattern of
ongoing disease can be described several examples of activities carried out as
follows: a. Detection of acute changes occurring disease and its distribution,
b. Identification and calculation of trends and patterns of disease according
to frequency of occurrence, c. Identification of risk factors and other causes,
such as vectors that can lead to disease later, and d. Detect changes in
community health services. Developing an integrated HIV and AIDS among all
stakeholders is very important to follow up on the efforts to establish
evidence-based health policy.
