The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire consists of seven items which can breakdown into anxiety subscales. The detail scores for every item ranged from zero to three. Score three indicated the highest level of anxiety. A total subscale score of >8 points out of 21 indicates significant anxiety symptoms. Data were analyzed descriptively to find out the frequency distribution of research subjects based on research sample characteristics. Results: From 36 research samples, 23 samples (63.9%) were male, and 13 samples (36.1%) were female. On anxiety levels, it was found that HADS-A scores were severe in  21 patients with severe COVID-19 (58.3%) and moderate levels in 15 patients (41.7%) with severe anxiety levels.

Abstract

Dengue remains a major public health problem in tropical countries, including Indonesia. The increasing incidence of dengue requires active community participation in prevention efforts. Knowledge is an important factor influencing dengue prevention behavior. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge level and dengue prevention behavior among the community in Medan Denai Sub-district, Medan. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach and was conducted in August 2024. A total of 131 respondents were selected using consecutive sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had a very good level of knowledge (59.5%), while dengue prevention behavior was predominantly in the sufficient category (42.7%). Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between knowledge level and dengue prevention behavior (p = 0.007). These findings indicate that higher knowledge levels are associated with better dengue prevention behavior. Strengthening community-based health education and cross-sector collaboration at the primary healthcare level is essential to promote sustainable dengue prevention practices.

Abstract

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease caused by inflammation, making the airways hypersensitive to triggers and leading to recurrent symptoms. Adequate knowledge of asthma management among general practitioners is essential to improve patient care, reduce disease severity, and prevent mortality. This study aimed to identify factors influencing general practitioners’ knowledge of asthma management in primary health facilities in Medan City. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 90 general practitioners selected through consecutive sampling. Data collected included respondent characteristics such as age, length of service, number of asthma patients treated monthly, source of knowledge, history of asthma management training, and level of knowledge. A validated and reliable questionnaire was used (Guttman scale r = 0.489; Cronbach’s alpha = 0.93). Statistical analysis using SPSS included chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests to assess relationships between variables. Results showed that most general practitioners had enough knowledge (54.4%) about asthma management. Significant associations were found between age (p = 0.034) and source of knowledge (p = 0.048) with the level of knowledge. Other variables showed no significant relationship. In conclusion, age and source of knowledge significantly influence general practitioners' knowledge of asthma management in primary health facilities, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions.
