Abstract

Aging process represents the natural process which is inevitable. It is caused by a biological factor that goes naturally resulting in the anatomical, biochemical and physiological changes. The natural changes contribute to falling in elderly. The objective of this study was to assess the falling prediction in elderly by using Functional Gait Assessment. This study used a cross-sectional research design with falling prediction as the variable. Forty-three elderly in Panti Werdha Wana Seraya (aged 60-103 years, - mean of 77.48 ± 1.61), selected according to the inclusion criteria, were included in the study. The data were collected using Functional Gait Assessment and analyzed both descriptively and statistically. The results showed that the elderly had a high risk of falls. Functional Gait Assessment showed that 41 of 43 subjects scored

Abstract

Though COVID-19 caught healthcare authorities worldwide off guard, several countries successfully dampened the morbidity and mortality curve by imposing strict biosecurity protocols. We would like to observe the effect of healthcare policies enforced in correlation to the formation of new clusters during early phases of the pandemic, thereby providing statistical justification for laws enforced by authorities. With access to medical records from Udayana University Hospital, a tertiary COVID-19 referral health center, we then observe epidemiological data of patients admitted and their admission date in correlation to dates where major changes in national COVID-19 protocols were established. We found a double distinctive curve that is mainly made of two distinct demographic groups: migrant workers and private employees. We found that during March 2020, when strict travel protocols are yet to be imposed, the viral introduction was mostly carried by returning migrant workers. Sporadic cases emerged, though soon vanishing due to the enforcement of quarantine protocols. Subsequently, in June 2020, a work-from-office setting was adopted, where some offices perform at a capacity higher than allowed. This incites the formation of new office-linked clusters. After this period, no recognizable pattern found due to massive local transmission affecting all layers of society. However, it can be concluded that COVID-19 law does shape the curve, and strict protocols may end the pandemic sooner. Keywords: COVID-19, Migrant Workers, Health Policy, Private Employee
