Abstract

Tonsillitis is a disease that is often found in society and can affect all age groups. However, the most common occurrence is in the children's. Tonsillitis can occur acutely, chronically or chronic acute exacerbation, depending on the duration and frequency of infection. The prevalence of tonsillitis globally shows a fairly high number, especially in developing countries. There are several risk factors that play a role in the high prevalence of tonsillitis in Indonesia including air pollution, poor sanitation, and exposure to infection in dense environments. Public awareness is considered lacking in early detection and treatment of tonsillitis often causes delays in treatment. The purpose of this health education is to provide understanding and increase the knowledge of the community visiting the polyclinic at the NTB Provincial Hospital regarding tonsillitis, its risk factors, symptoms, and how to prevent it. In this educational activity, participants were very enthusiastic about following each explanation of the material presented. Some of the education participants also asked questions about tonsillitis and its complications during the discussion session.This can be used as a benchmark as well as a reference and evaluation material for implementing similar activities in the future.

Abstract

The global spread of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), worsened by the emergence of new variants such as Delta, has created significant challenges for health systems. One of the severe complications experienced by infected individuals is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a condition characterized by pulmonary fluid leakage that leads to impaired oxygenation and respiratory difficulty. Patients with mild ARDS are often managed with non-invasive ventilation (NIV), which provides supplemental oxygen without the need for intubation. This study was conducted to examine whether the severity of ARDS influences the duration of NIV use in COVID-19 patients treated at the West Nusa Tenggara Provincial General Hospital (RSUD) in 2021. A cross-sectional study with a retrospective design was applied, and participants were selected through consecutive sampling. Data were obtained from hospital medical records and analyzed using the independent sample t-test. A total of 46 patients met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 27 males (58.7%) and 19 females (41.3%), with a mean age of 53.9 ± 7.9 years. The mean duration of NIV was 3.26 ± 2.816 days in patients with mild ARDS and 3.65 ± 2.870 days in those with moderate ARDS. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.643; p > 0.05). These findings indicate that ARDS severity is not associated with the length of NIV use in COVID-19 patients.
