Established in 1915 with Helen Keller as a founding trustee, Helen Keller International (HKI) works to save the sight and lives of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. Headquartered in New York City, HKI offers programs in 21 countries in Africa and Asia as well as in the United States. The organization combats the causes and consequences of blindness and malnutrition by establishing programs based on evidence and research. Each year, their programs directly benefit millions of people, and children are a primary concern. HKI programs address malnutrition, cataract, trachoma, onchocerciasis, refractive error and diabetic retinopathy.
SUMMARY OF PROGRAM:
Since 2009 Helen Keller International – Indonesia (HKI-I) with the support of Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) and in collaboration with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Departments of Education and Health has been implementing a Refractive Error (RE) Program, which focuses on school-based eye screening and eyeglasses distribution for the students and teachers in junior-high schools in DKI Jakarta Province. This program also develops the capacity of teachers to perform the visual acuity screening for their students and other teachers in regular basis. Through the RE program, HKI is working towards defining the most effective model to screen junior-high school students. The model includes teacher training in visual acuity screening, screening for all students and other teachers. For students and teachers that fail the visual acuity test, refraction is done and eyeglasses are provided to those who need them.
In order to determine the most effective strategy for training teachers/school-based screeners to be proficient in Refractive Error screening, HKI plans evaluate the quality of the teacher/screener training module, and compare between the two visual acuity screening training models for the teachers (i.e. train all teachers in school vs. training 3-5 teachers per school). The results of this research should provide information on how to train teachers more effectively and how to perform screenings with accuracy. The research also will provide recommendations for incorporating the results into the government’s health and education systems. The research will be focused on the, the impact of the training to the screening results.
