Abstract

Early detection of COVID-19 disease in the community is essential, one of the ways is by identifying the symptoms of anosmia (loss of sense of smell) and ageusia (loss of sense of taste). However, it is not yet known how the characteristics of these symptoms can be used as a protocol to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study aims to obtain an overview of the prevalence and characteristics of anosmia and ageusia in adult patients with COVID-19 in the community setting. Descriptive research with a retrospective approach was used to collect outpatients’ data at Puskesmas Kecamatan Cempaka Putih from May – June 2021. A total of 105 participants from 400 patients were selected using a simple random sampling with inclusion criteria were patients who confirmed positive for COVID-19 based on the results of the PCR Swab and had symptoms of anosmia and ageusia. Demographic data and general symptoms of COVID-19 were obtained from the Epidemiological Investigation of Suspected COVID-19 form from the Ministry of Health recorded in medical records, Data on prevalence and characteristics of anosmia and age were obtained through a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions made in google form format and distributed via WhatsApp to the participant. Descriptive analysis showed that from a total of 105 patients in the community with anosmia and ageusia, 103 patients (98.1%) reported anosmia, 50 patients (47.6%) had ageusia, and 48 patients (45.7%) experienced both symptoms. Patients experienced anosmia before being diagnosed with COVID-19 (62, 60.2%) and ageusia after being diagnosed with COVID-19 (28, 56.0%). The median duration of anosmia in days (IQR) was 7 (2) and ageusia was 5 (4). Anosmia and ageusia are symptoms experienced by an adult patient with COVID-19 in the community setting. These two symptoms need to be recognised as typical symptoms of COVID-19, added to the early detection of COVID-19, and included in the self-isolation protocol. Further research on the impact of anosmia and age on health and long-term decline in sensory function after COVID-19 needs to be done.

Abstract

The quality of nursing care services can achieve optimal results if the workload and existing nurse resources have a balanced proportion. Currently, the quality of nursing care services is still unsatisfactory and influenced by various problems including problems of planning and scheduling nursing staff at each service shift. The purpose of this study was to identify the perception of the head’s room and team leader about the workload and planning of nursing staff at each service shift in Tasikmalaya City Hospital. The results showed that the perception of the head’s room and the team leader were mostly 20 nurses (51.3%) with good categories. The results of the survey using a questionnaire showed that the head’s room and the team leader stated that the daily workload seemed to make nurses tired and bored. Planning for nursing staff at each service shift, according to the head’s room and team leader, should be adjusted to the workload in their environment. Therefore, it is recommended to make adjustments to meet the needs of the nursing staff. Planning analysis needs to be done so that the placement of nurses in each inpatient room can be adjusted to the needs to improve health services, especially nursing services.

Abstract

Radiation therapy is the most important part of a modality in the management of patients with malignancy. The incidence of heart disease caused by radiation has increased in recent decades, due to the increased survival rate of patients with malignancies in the chest area receiving radiation therapy. Purpose To determine the impact on the heart due to radiation therapy in cancer patients. This study is a literature review, articles were collected using Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases with the keywords radiation, heart disease, cancer patients, and radiotherapy. Inclusion criteria included articles published from 2013-2022. Based on a review of 10 articles discussing the effect of radiation therapy on the heart. Some cardiovascular complications due to radiation therapy can affect the pericardial, myocardial, vascular, heart valves, and conduction disturbances. Radiation-induced heart disease is a growing concern because it is associated with increased survival in cancer patients. It is important for clinicians to understand the impact of radiation therapy on the heart for the purposes of education, consideration of therapy and dose, monitoring of therapy, and early detection.

Abstract

The problem of sanitation development in Indonesia is a socio-cultural challenge. one of which is the behavior of people who are used to doing OD. OD behavior can be influenced by various factors, both internal and external, including education, occupation, income, knowledge, attitudes, and physical environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the determinant factors that influence the behavior of open defecation. This research uses a cross-sectional approach located in Kedawang Village, Nguling Village, Kedawang Village, Pasuruan Regency. This research was conducted from December 2020 – May 2021. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total sample of 126 people who were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics 20 software with a significance level of 0.05. The majority of respondents, namely 64 people or 50.8% of respondents have attitudes with fewer categories. On average, respondents have less perception of 83 people or 65.9%, lack of knowledge (99.2%), and less physical environment (114%). Meanwhile, the open defecation behavior carried out by the community was in the frequent category (56.3%). The results show that from several factors analyzed, the factors that influence open defecation behavior are attitude (sig 0.000) and perception (sig 0.000). Factors that influence open defecation behavior are attitudes and perceptions. Poor attitudes and perceptions will result in people doing open defecation behavior.

Abstract

One of the causes of COVID-19 is a respiratory disorder characterized by mild, moderat to severe pneumonia. Symptomps can be seen by the decrease in oxygen saturation values in patients suffering from COVID-19, causing the patient’s, condition to be critical and must be treated in the ICU. This makes it very possible for patients to experience multi organ failure. The pronation position results in the homogenity of the lung alveoli, so that there is no hyperinflation in the ventral area of the lung and collapse of the dorsal lung, by using the pronation position, the recruitment of oxygentaion by the lungs in the dorsal area increase so that oxygen saturation in the body can increase. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of pronasition positioning on increasing oxygentaion in COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate respiratory distress in patients treated in the non-intubated ICU. The results from the four journals that have been reviewed show that giving a pronation position to COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate ARDS is able to increase oxygen saturation and can pevent patients from being intubated. Conclusion : the use of the prone position in mild to moderate respiratory disorders experience by COVID-19 patients is quite safe to be applied in the ICU treatment room.

Abstract

A sedentary lifestyle is any type of activity that only expends a small amount of energy with an energy expenditure of not more than 1.5 METs when sitting or lying down. this has a very bad impact on health. These activities have a very bad impact on health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people face many big challenges, one of which is social distancing in a sedentary lifestyle. The objective of this study is to describe changes in sedentary lifestyles among cardiovascular disease patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research design used was a literature review using 3 databases (Pubmed, Proquest, and Science Direct). The process of searching for articles using keywords and Boolean operators (AND, OR, or NOT) aims to define and expand the literature. The review found that the sedentary lifestyle increased up to 8 hours/day. In addition to what has been mentioned 4 other articles also mention an increase in sedentary lifestyle time and an increase in sitting time, this is in accordance with research conducted on the average daily duration of sedentary behaviour is 8.3 hours between Koreans and 7, 7 hours among American adults due to government regulations during the pandemic. All articles show that people who tend to be older and male have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular cases that lead to death during the COVID-19 pandemic. So it is necessary to expand the scope of information about the importance of physical activity so that all people with cardiovascular disease have high vigilance.
