Abstract

Introduction: Cataracts account for 77.7% of blind cases in Indonesia, indicating that many cataract patients have not had surgery. Low levels of knowledge, attitude, and decision-making among cataract patients regarding surgery may limit the number of procedures performed in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to assess cataract patients’ knowledge, attitude, and decision-making concerning surgery at Siloam Hospitals Lippo Village in Tangerang. Objective: To determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and decision-making regarding cataract surgery among Siloam Hospitals Lippo Village Building B patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study involves 64 cataract patients visiting Siloam Hospitals Lippo Village Building B. The collected data were analysed using SPSS Statistics bivariate analysis. Results: Out of the 64 respondents, 7 (10.9%) demonstrated low knowledge, 4 (6.3%) displayed a negative attitude, and 4 (6.3%) indicated unwillingness to undergo surgery. A significant relationship exists between knowledge and attitude, attitude and decision, and knowledge and decision regarding cataract surgery, with a p-value of 0.000 as determined by the Pearson Chi-Square test.

Abstract

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, infection control protocols required universal mask use. At the same time, increased reports of dry eye symptoms emerged. Prior studies showed inconsistent results. This study aims to clarify the association, hypothesizing that prolonged mask wearing is linked to a higher risk of dry eye disease. Methods: This study is an analytical comparative cross-sectional study. The purposive sampling technique was used to collect samples. To diagnose dry eye disease, the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was used. The cut off score we used is >12 points in OSDI. Two categories were established to assess mask usage duration: <6 hours or ≥ 6 hours per day. Data were collected in January 2023 from 278 respondent medical students in Tangerang, Indonesia. Bivariate chi-square data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software. Discussion: 82 respondents (29.5%) experienced dry eye disease, and 221 respondents (79.5%) used masks for ≥ 6 hours during effective working days along the week. No significant relationship was found between both variables. (OR = 0,883; 95% CI: 0.471-1.658; p = 0.669). Results: There was no association between using masks for a longer period of time to dry eye disease.

Abstract

In light of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination programs being implemented worldwide, this study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance survey in Indonesia conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group (NITAG), and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), published in November 2020. It was found that Sumatra Island having lower COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates, with Aceh Province displaying the lowest level of vaccine acceptance. Thus, a cross-sectional study was conducted, and a logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Out of 368 respondents who participated in the survey, 143 (38.9%) accepted the vaccine, and 225 (61.1%) refused it. Vaccine safety concerns constituted the most reported reason for refusal (43.6%). This study also found that province of residence and basic immunization status were determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Sumatra. Concerns regarding vaccine safety might be the reason for the low level of vaccination in Sumatra. Increased education and encouragement from healthcare professionals and regional authority figures can alleviate public concerns and improve vaccine acceptance.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a public health concern. Preventive measures, such as wearing personal protective equipment, must be done. On April 2020, the Center for Disease Control stated cloth face mask was recommended to be used by the public. This systematic review aimed to eva - luate the efficacy of cloth face masks in reducing COVID-19 transmission and to compare the fabric material that suits best for a cloth face mask. Journals included were from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, search engines, and references from other studies. The MeSH keywords, such as "cloth mask efficiency", "surgical mask", "COVID-19" and "filtration performance of common fabrics cloth mask" were used. Studies that used particle microorganisms sized ≤ 0.072 μm were included in this study. Studies showed that cloth face mask still can filter to a certain extent, however, it is inferior compared to surgical mask. Results show that the efficacy of cloth face mask depends on its fabric, and that polyester provides the best filtration efficiency. However, the pressure drop of polyester is unknown and more studies should be done.
