Abstract

The continuous growth of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the development of new virus variants is a significant health concern affecting various populations, specifically healthcare workers. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a model of Sustainable COVID-19 Prevention for Health Workers in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). This quantitative study was carried out using a cross-sectional design, and the sample population comprised 2233 health workers in various health centers. Subsequently, a total of 300 were selected as participants based on the predetermined criteria. The analysis results showed that understanding standard operating procedure (SOP) and the purpose of preventive action had a significant effect on COVID-19 prevention behavior, with a significance value of p=0.001. Furthermore, the availability of human resources, drugs/health equipment, and budget had a significant influence. The results also showed that information, appreciation, emotional, equipment support, teamwork, socialization of actions, work coordination, and work culture affected COVID-19 prevention behavior, with a significance value of p=0.001. Based on the results, the variables with a significant effect on COVID-19 prevention behavior should receive adequate attention from the government.

Abstract

Background: Treatment of leprosy with Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) requires a relatively long duration, depending on the type of leprosy. The extended treatment period often leads to patient fatigue, which may reduce medication adherence and increase the risk of treatment discontinuation. This situation can hinder therapeutic success and elevate the risk of disease transmission and disability. Therefore, simple and practical strategies are needed to support patients in maintaining adherence throughout the treatment period. One potential strategy is the use of an MDT monitoring calendar as a reminder and monitoring tool. This study aimed to determine the effect of the MDT monitoring calendar on medication adherence among leprosy patients in Ende Regency. Methods: This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design. Total sampling was used, involving 16 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: All respondents demonstrated an increase in medication adherence after the implementation of the Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) monitoring calendar, with no observed decrease in adherence. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated statistically significant results (Z = −3.532; p < 0.05), confirming the effect of the MDT monitoring calendar on medication adherence among leprosy patients in Ende Regency. Conclusion: The implementation of the Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) monitoring calendar significantly improved medication adherence among leprosy patients. The MDT monitoring calendar can serve as an effective and easily implementable health promotion tool to support treatment success. Health service facilities are encouraged to integrate the MDT monitoring calendar into the leprosy control program in Ende Regency

Methods: This study used quantitative design with a pre-experimental approach, precisely one group pre-post design. The population in this study is all hypertension patients registered at the Oesapa Health Center in Kupang City, with a sample of 50 people. Results: The results of the study using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a significant effect of foot reflexology therapy on the sleep quality of hypertensive patients, with a value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Foot massage therapy has a positive effect on improving sleep quality in hypertensive patients in the work area of the Oesapa Health Center.
