Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of personal protective equipment and the risk of facial pressure injury among nurses in the Raudhah 5 room of Muhammadiyah Hospital Bandung (RSMB). This study is a quantitative correlation study with a cross-sectional research design. The research population is 15 COVID-19 isolation nurses in RSMB with a total sampling technique. Bivariate analysis used is the contingency coefficient correlation test. Nurses that used personal protective equipment or more than 50% had a moderate risk of pressure injury as experienced by ten nurses (66.7%). The correlation coefficient test of personal protective equipment obtained a p-value= 0.537. There is no relationship between the use of personal protective equipment to the risk of facial pressure injury on nurses in RSMB. Nurses who use level 3 of PPE, especially in the facial area, should use dressings to prevent the risk of facial pressure injury.

Abstract

This research study was designed to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices on antibiotic use among patients of Rural Health Units in the 5th Congressional District of Camarines Sur, Philippines. Specifically, it aimed to determine the relationship between the demographic profile of the patients and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices on antibiotic use. We also analyze the relationship between the factors that influence antibiotic use and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices and develop educational materials for awareness campaign and counseling. This study uses the descriptive-survey method, of which the questionnaire as the primary data gathering tool supplemented by guided interviews. We used the quota sampling method to determine the 350 respondents in the study. We selected 50 patients from each municipality using the convenience method. Most of the patient’s antibiotics use were highly influenced by the financial problem or personal factors, environmental factors, lack of knowledge and information on antibiotics, and socio-economic factors. The personal, environmental, and socio-economic factors that influence antibiotic use are significantly related to the patients' knowledge, attitudes, and antibiotic use practices. The educational materials developed in the study may enhance the level of awareness upon its utilization during educational campaign and patients counseling.

Abstract

This paper discusses the trend of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its role in the healthcare industry. AI is being used to improve efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare. Still, challenges remain, such as privacy and data protection and healthcare workers' hesitancy to replace their work with technology. This study aims to see opportunities for using AI in the health sector and understand existing problems, such as barriers to significant initial investments. This study uses a qualitative approach and focuses on the author's understanding based on secondary sources and personal experience. The study results show that AI can assist health workers in making diagnoses and providing more efficient health services. However, it still has to be used as a tool and cannot replace the role of health workers as a whole.

Abstract

3D printing technology has revolutionized the way products are manufactured, and it has opened up new possibilities in the field of smart materials. Smart materials are materials that can change their properties in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, or light. By combining 3D printing technology with smart materials, highly customizable and responsive products are created. The addition of the time dimension to 3D printing has introduced 4D printing technology, which has gained considerable attention in different fields such as medical, art, and engineering. To bridge the gap in knowledge of 4D, this paper assessed the revolution in healthcare with 3D/4D printing and smart materials. Data was generated as part of a broader empirical study which sought to explore healthcare personnel and electrical engineers’ perception on the practices around the use of 3D/4D printing technology and smart materials. The main method used was structured interviews. 12 participant were purposively selected and interviewed including healthcare personnel and electrical engineers form Philippines and Nigeria. The findings reveal an array of activities undertaken using both 3D and 4D. Furthermore, the study revealed that 4D printing is a new generation of 3D printing. Another aspect of the 3D usage is the integration of electrical stimulation and smart implant as a new area of study in healthcare. 3D could also be used to monitoring the smart implant performance. The study also evaluate the possibility of using Internet of things (IoT) in the smart implant as some device embeds smart materials. Smart implant commonly used includes orthopedic applications, such as knee and hip replacement, spine fusion, and fracture fixation. The smart materials used in this technology are important because 3D printing allows printed structures to be dynamic. The paper highpoints is that 4D printing has great potential for the future.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the variants of the Streptococcus genus in the oral cavity of healthy individuals. Streptococcus is one of the normal flora, which is part of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the oral cavity. LAB has the ability to produce antimicrobial agents, regulate the host's immune response, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The presence of LAB in the oral cavity is crucial in maintaining oral health and preventing periodontal diseases. This study used observational cross-sectional design with 40 healthy elementary school children as subjects. Swabs were taken from their oral cavities and sent to the laboratory for PCR and sequencing tests. The results revealed that isolates 3S, 4S, 9S, 10S, 14S, and 15S were identified as Streptococcus dysgalactiae, while isolates 1S, 8S, and 9S were identified as Streptococcus mitis. Additionally, isolates 2S, 5S, 7S, 11S, 12S, and 13S were identified as Streptococcus salivarius, isolate 6S was identified as Streptococcus agalactiae, and isolate 17S was identified as Streptococcus oralis. These findings provide valuable information on the identification of oral microbiota, particularly Streptococcus genus variants, which can potentially serve as an alternative therapy for periodontal diseases.

Abstract

Indonesia has Southeast Asia's second-highest child stunting rate and fifth-highest globally. Malnutrition can cause stunting, especially during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). This study aims to investigate the role of the family support unit in preventing stunting in a particular Integrated Service Post in Indonesia. This is a qualitative investigation. This study included 5 participants: family planning cadres, cadres, village midwives, and members with toddlers and expectant mothers. The results of the data analysis indicated the function of companion team families in preventing stunting, particularly for pregnant women and mothers with children. This demonstrates that the duties assigned are appropriate for their positions, as outlined in the Guidelines for Implementing Family Assistance in Efforts to Accelerate Stunting Reduction. The Family Support Team's function is particularly effective in decreasing stunting, especially for pregnant women and mothers with children under two years old who are at risk because stunting rates decrease with assistance. It is expected that there would be more monitoring of the improvement of each cadre's skills in carrying out their tasks and roles by the guidelines so that they can be more optimised in providing support.
