Module 2 : Pelsa : Village Reporter

Facilitator Manual

This manual is intended for Coordinators and other trainers who are responsible for engaging, recruiting, managing and retaining a strong village-based reporter network. Pelsa play a vital role in our information chain and offer quicker reporting of disease and more efficient response from the dinas staff.

The goals for this Pelsa training are to;

  • teach new tools for use when reporting disease and allow good opportunity to practice using new skills,
  • increase Pelsa confidence and engagement,
  • motivate and inspire good practices,
  • give reward and acknowledgement,
  • strengthen the bond between Pelsa and Dinas staff.

Background

Pelsa have been chosen by their community, with or without the assistance of district veterinary staff, to be a village reporter (pelsa) and contribute to improving the health of livestock in their area, ensuring health problems are reported quickly and helping veterinary staff to respond effectively.

Pelsa play a vital role in Indonesia's animal health system. They are the people closest to the community and closest to the livestock and their owners. Pelsa are the first point of assistance for their community and the first line of defense in protecting their community.

Pelsa provide the farmers with a much needed link to the veterinary services and make it easier for paravets to respond efficiently.

This training material attempts to support coordinators to develop the Pelsa skills, confidence and accuracy in recognising and reporting signs of disease in the local livestock population using iSIKHNAS.

By the end of the course, Pelsa should be able to:

  • Know and socialize their role and build good relationship with the community
  • Recognise the clinical signs of common and/or important diseases of animals
  • Recognise several syndromes that characterise important (priority) infectious diseases
  • Use iSIKHNAS for the reporting disease events
  • Know who to contact for assistance.

Two approaches

For experienced Pelsa (and experienced Coordinators!)

  • Half day training course - iSIKHNAS reporting

For new recruits

  • Full day training course - Recognising Signs of Disease and iSIKHNAS reporting

Session 1: Role and Responsibilities

Pelsa should be able to;

  • Recognise signs of animal disease: They should be able to recognise when animals are showing signs that might mean they are suffering from disease, and be able to use a standard vocabulary and their associated codes for describing these signs and syndromes.
  • Report signs of animal disease: Pelsa send case reports of sick animals to the veterinary services by sending a special, short, coded SMS. This instantly alerts the local Dinas staff responsible for that area that there is an animal in that Pelsa's village that is showing possible signs of disease. The local Dinas vet or para-vet can then respond to that alert with a phone call to the Pelsa, ask further questions to establish if they should visit or whether they can advise treatment over the phone.
  • Be a trusted link to the veterinary services: Some villagers may feel shy or uncomfortable about contacting their Dinas veterinary services staff directly. But as Pelsa are trusted members of their own communities, many villagers will feel much more comfortable talking to a local Pelsa. This may mean that many more cases of disease are reported in villages that have Pelsa, compared to villages without Pelsa. It does not of course mean that villages with pelsa have more disease, just more reported cases. As Pelsa become recognised and appreciated by their community for their work, there will be more people who will want to use their services. This will ensure that the link between the community and the veterinary services stays strong and effective.
  • Be a source of information for the community: As the local contact person for their village, Pelsa can provide information from the local Dinas to the community. This may include notifications of animal disease cases or outbreaks in their area, or details of an upcoming vaccination program. Pelsa may also be able to participate or assist in activities related to vaccination or surveillance programs, keep population figures up to date and report the outcomes of various cases including if an animal has recovered from a particular reported problem.

Session 2 : Community linkages

Background

Livestock play multiple roles in people's lives. These include:

  • Food and nutrition: animals are a very important source of food [protein]
  • Social functions: animals may raise the social status of their owners. They may contribute to gender balance by affording women the opportunity to own livestock. In some communities, animal have a role in cultural or religious practices.
  • Contribution to crop production: animals provide draught power and their manure contributes to soil fertility
  • Income generation and wealth accumulation: animals may enable saving of wealth, providing security and playing a role as a ‘bank account’ and ‘insurance policy’
  • Economic role: animal production may be an important part of the local and regional economy
  • Livestock and the environment: livestock production is a part of sustainable land use, although animal production can have both positive and negative impact on the environment
  • Risk buffer: in some communities, animal production provides alternative streams of income that buffers against the risks of crop failures.

The health of animals is vitally important to people's lives. Here are some effects of sickness and disease in animals;

  • increase the likelihood of poverty for individual farmers and their families,
  • threaten food security locally and sometimes more widely,
  • negatively affect local economies because people have less money to spend, or local industries start to fail,
  • impact the availability of draught power for cropping,
  • can be difficult and costly to treat or cure, and to control,
  • reduce production of animal products such as milk, eggs, meat,
  • can be a direct risk to human health,
  • increase the risk of follow-on effects from all of the above.

It is important to get help or advice about animal health problems promptly. The longer the time between first noticing a disease problem and getting help or advice for it, the greater the risk animals and the livestock owning community are at to the above problems. Prompt reporting of problems to get advice about how to deal with it is important. Some problems appear very routine and mundane but even by reporting the problem farmers can help the veterinary services to respond better and find improved solutions for all farmers with the same problem in their livestock.

What stops people from reporting?

  • Don't know where to report
  • Don't know why to report
  • Don't know how to report
  • Don't have faith in veterinary services
  • Worry about the costs
  • Don't care
  • Try to treat by themselves
  • Don't recognise the signs of disease
  • Don't recognise the urgency or importance
  • Worry that the vet services will cull their animals
  • Take a wait and see approach and sometimes win and sometimes lose

Pelsa can help to break down some of these hurdles or barriers and make it more likely problems of disease will be reported. Pelsa are a vital link between the community and the veterinary services. Pelsa

  • are a trusted member of the community,
  • have training in signs recognition and the language to describe problems,
  • have experience in seeing cases,
  • have knowledge of how to report quickly and simply,
  • can help provide a continued link, pass on advice and offer assistance with treatments suggested by the vet services,
  • can determine if a problem appears to be of higher priority than others,
  • can observe problems even when the farmer has not and suggest a problem is reported,
  • can be a useful source of information, warnings, and advice to the community,
  • understands that reporting disease can bring benefit to the community as well as to the individual farmer.

Pelsa can increase their network in their community by

  • being easily and readily available,
  • being open, friendly and helpful,
  • being responsible and trustworthy,
  • caring about the people and animals who live together,
  • having a charged mobile phone with pelsa,
  • wanting to improve in skills and knowledge about animal health,
  • knowing when to listen and when to call for help.

Session 3 : Recognising signs of disease

What are signs?: Signs are changes in an animal that are caused by disease and that people can detect. Clinical signs are things that the observer can directly see or measure, such as swollen joints, runny nose, or diarrhoea.

Recognising signs of good health

Animals cannot tell us if they are feeling sick or healthy, but we can observe signs that suggest that they are healthy. These include:

  • bright, alert, responsive
  • able to stand, walk and run properly
  • eat, drink and defecate normally
  • good body condition/weight
  • glossy coat and feather and complete/intact
  • normal social interactions and behaviour

Recognising signs of disease

Signs of disease are changes in an animal that are caused by disease and that people can detect. Signs are things that the observer can directly see or measure, such as swollen joints, runny nose, or diarrhoea.

How to look over an animal?
  • Head - Look for changes or things which don't seem normal - eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, teeth, neck
  • Skin - Look for unusual patches, sores, redness, swelling, signs of rubbing or irritation
  • Limbs - Look for cuts, injury, swelling, unusual walking, other abnormalities
  • Excretions - Look at urine, faeces, blood, nose running, mouth drooling, other unusual fluids
  • Behaviour - Is the animal lying down and can't get up, aggressive, agitated etc
What are common local signs of disease?
  • Group activity to list as many common signs as they can think of/have seen
  • Ordering them by how 'common' they are
  • Agreeing on the words used for the signs
  • Talking about differences and similarities
What is a syndrome?

Example of a cold in a human - runny nose, cough, weakness, lethargy, elevated temperature, etc. All the signs together point to a 'syndrome' which may or may not be a cold but could be. The collected signs describe what might be the problem.

Defined priority syndromes is a way of detecting important problems but why are some diseases considered more important than others?

  • risk to human health (like rabies or anthrax)
  • risk of being very infectious (like AI)
  • risk of being exotic disease that we don't have (and don't want) (like FMD)
  • risk of huge losses (like AI or hog cholera)
  • risk of significant production losses (like brucellosis)

The role of a Pelsa involves determining if a problem is a likely to be a routine disease or a priority disease by reporting the signs or syndrome the Pelsa can observe. Priority syndrome reports will get a faster response from the veterinary services because of the possibility it is a report of a significant or important disease and will require a more thorough investigation.

iSIKHNAS uses codes to abbreviate the signs and the syndromes so that they are easier and quicker to report. iSIKHNAS interprets the codes and 'translates' them into real information. This is what we are going to learn about in the next sessions.... how to report a problem using iSIKHNAS coded SMS messages.

Remember that when you report a problem to iSIKHNAS the report is used in two ways for two different purposes.

  1. to alert the veterinary services in your area that there is a health problem
  2. to add to the national data about all animal disease. Our decision makers need this data in order to help all the farmers in your area to improve the health of all livestock.

So when reporting to iSIKHNAS Pelsa need to be encouraged to send accurate and complete information.

Session 4 : Reporting disease

A pelsa may hear about a health problem in the animal population in their area in a variety of ways. Perhaps a farmer will contact the Pelsa directly, perhaps she will hear about it indirectly through someone else in the village or the pelsa may come across the problem himself while walking around the village or during the course of a normal day's activity. As soon as the Pelsa hears about a new case they should try to visit the farmer and the animal if possible. Pelsa should talk to the farmer and ask him about the 'history' of the problem - when he noticed it first, if it has got worse, whether other animals are affected etc. These details will help to answer questions the dinas staff may ask the Pelsa after it is reported. Pelsa should look carefully at the animal and remember their training in signs recognition.

The next thing you need to do is to report the problem. Pelsa must decide if the problem is a 'General' problem (Tanda Umum) or a 'Priority Syndrome' (Sindrom Prioritas). If the pelsa thinks the case meets any of the Priority Syndrome descriptions then she should send an SMS using the P message format. Otherwise he should send an SMS message to iSIKHNAS using the U message format including the main signs that can be seen.

General signs report

U [sign,sign...] [species] [number of animals] {location} 

Priority syndrome report

P [syndrome] [species] [number of animals] {location} 

Remember that the information Pelsa send in each new report is used in two ways for two different purposes.

  1. to alert the veterinary services in the area there is a health problem
  2. to add to the national data about all animal disease. Our decision makers need this data in order to help all the farmers in your area to improve the health of all livestock.

General signs reports

U [sign,sign...] [species] [number of animals] {location} 
  • Use CKT [name of sign] to look up a general sign codes.
  • Use Kode SP to look up species codes.
  • Use CKL [name of location] to look up the location code for a village.

The U report allows you to report the individual signs of disease that you see in the animal. You may see several signs and you should report the most significant signs. You can report several signs. Remember to separate the signs with a comma.

Pelsa are provided with training on how to look for and recognise a list of common, easily observable signs. Each sign on this list has been given an easy code to make reporting easier.

Use this list to report the signs you see as accurately as you can. Remember, the information is important and useful so try to be as accurate as you can. Don't be lazy and use "Tanda Lain"!

When you register as a Pelsa your location is also registered. All of your messages will include the details of your location automatically so most of the time most Pelsa will never have to report their location. This {location} part of the message format is optional and only used by some people who have a larger area of responsibility than a single village.

Remember that the information you send in each new report is used in two ways for two different purposes.

  1. to alert the veterinary services in your area there is a health problem
  2. to add to the national data about all animal disease. Our decision makers need this data in order to help all the farmers in your area to improve the health of all livestock.

Reports of General Signs of disease whilst important are much less likely to be disease of significance to the whole community. The veterinary staff will respond to these messages as soon as they can. Staff will likely call you to get more details and offer advice for treatment. Sometimes they will visit the animal to investigate further. P messages received by the iSIKHNAS system will receive a faster response by the veterinary services because they may be diseases which could be dangerous to humans, or which spread quickly or which IF they get into Indonesia could be economically catastrophic for the country. Most P reports will ensure a visit by veterinary staff.


Training Notes

  • This message allows for more than one sign to be entered - multiple entries need to be separated by a comma
  • Signs recognition practice may be necessary or an activity to focus staff and perhaps look at how easy and intuitive the codes are.
  • Repeat the importance of making the clear decision for every case - Is this a Priority Syndrome/Important disease? (if yes, send a P, if not send a U message). This step is about discounting the possibility of an important disease before reporting a General signs case. Priority syndrome awareness raising will be important.
  • Pelsa are not being asked to give a diagnosis. Dinas staff should contact the Pelsa (usually by telephone) and provide a Differential Diagnosis - the equivalent of a "best guess", or an opinion using experience and training to whatever level a person has, not necessarily a vet. A differential diagnosis can also be adjusted, changed or reversed when new information becomes available which helps to refine the opinion. When looking at a differential diagnosis, the confidence you have about it comes from knowing more about the person who gave the opinion. iSIKHNAS provides this information because all records are linked to the person who reported them. A Definitive Diagnosis however is provided by a vet with the help of laboratory test results and other evidence and is obviously most reliable and final.
  • Pelsa should be discouraged from using 'other signs', ‘tanda lain’. These are unhelpful. Where there are multiple signs, Pelsa may just choose the most important, significant or prominent signs.
  • Codes for specific signs can be queried using CKT [nama tanda]. Sign codes can be found by CKT [freetext] query which allows users to query the code for signs which start with similar letters or match the freetext entry. Eg CKT kembung returns kembung KBG and other options with similar letter configurations.
  • When to use optional location code – pelsa with several villages.
  • Location codes are gradually being updated and will soon be able to be managed locally.
  • Remember: Different message formats for AH staff and Pelsa reporters - no diagnosis for pelsa.
  • 100% response rate should be the target for dinas staff – mostly by telephone perhaps.

Priority Syndrome reports

P [syndrome] [species] [number of animals] {location}
  • Use Kode SIN to look up a syndrome code
  • Use Kode SP to look up species codes.
  • Use CKL [name of location] to look up the location code for a village.

P messages do not use the General Signs codes. P messages use only the Sindrom Prioritas 3-letter codes which represent descriptions of syndromes which look similar to important or priority disease. Syndromes are used to describe a specific set of signs which if seen together in particular species could be one of these important diseases. You are not being asked to diagnose a case but to simply be on the alert to the possibility of these priority diseases being present in your area every time you see a sick animal. It is better to be alert and on the lookout in order to protect your community from the consequences of a serious outbreak which could have been prevented early.

P messages received by the iSIKHNAS system will receive a faster response by the veterinary services because they may be diseases which could be dangerous to humans, or which spread quickly or which IF they get into Indonesia could be economically catastrophic for the country. Most P reports will ensure a visit by veterinary staff. General signs reports are very important too of course but much less likely to be disease of significance to the whole community. The veterinary staff will respond to these messages as soon as they can. Staff will likely call you to get more details and offer advice for treatment. Sometimes they will visit the animal to investigate further.

Remember that when you register as a Pelsa your location is also registered. All of your messages will include the details of your location automatically so most of the time most Pelsa will never have to report their location. This {location} part of the message format is optional and only used by some people who have a larger area of responsibility than a single village.

Training Notes

  • Priority codes and definitions – There are six defined syndromes but should also be referred to as a tool for reporting important disease, not just listed priority diseases
  • There is one additional undefined Priority syndrome where signs don’t fit into the syndrome description but reporter feels urgent response is required (if suspected to be zoonotic, highly contagious, high mortality etc)
  • Positive Consequences - Those who report P should be thanked for staying alert, even if their report turns out to be false alarm, as it will in many cases, at least it shows reporter is alert and conscious of importance of distinguishing important from routine disease. Reporters should never be afraid to report a P message but overuse will of course have possible negative consequences - "fatigue" may develop and future true priority cases may be ignored. Remember: Most "P" cases will be negative for the priority or important disease - the importance lies in our vigilance in looking out for these diseases.
  • Pelsa are not being asked to give a diagnosis - just to alert dinas to what they see.
  • 100% should be visited quickly, after an initial telephone call to ask for further details
  • Repeating sequence (species, number of animals) for multiple species with similar syndrome
  • Pelsa should be encouraged to memorise their village code or keep it in a handy place on their phone.
  • Additional Priority Syndrome has been added which allows Pelsa to report urgent looking case (zoonosis, high morbidity/mortality or contagious) without having a clear syndrome is an alert for unknown or exotic disease. This is like a "Red button" to ask for help when they are concerned.
