Abstract

Background: Refusal to vaccinate is an obstacle to the success of the COVID-19 vaccination program. The community wants health workers to provide insight into the importance of vaccination. Medical students who are often actively involved in community activities directly have a role in the success of the COVID-19 vaccination. This paper examines the relationship between pre-clinical medical student’s knowledge, attitudes, and organization’s history related to COVID-19 vaccination to provide recommendations for behavioral interventions and policies.Objective: To determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and organizational history with the coverage of COVID-19 vaccination among respondents.Methods: A cross-sectional online survey of 77 pre-clinical medical students at UM Surabaya using a simple random sampling technique. The questionnaire used belongs to researcher Chyntia Caroline (2021). The research was conducted from August to October 2022. Statistical analysis used SPSSv.26, p<0.05. The Spearman test was performed to determine whether or not there was any relationship between knowledge, attitudes, organization’s history, and COVID-19 vaccination coverage.Results: The level of student knowledge is categorized as ''Sufficient'', and student attitude is classified as ''Good''. The results of the Spearman test found that knowledge and an organization’s history did not affect vaccination coverage (p=0.6 and 0.68). Attitudes affect vaccination coverage (p=0.000).Conclusion: There is no relationship between knowledge and an organization's history. Meanwhile, good attitudes influence COVID-19 vaccination coverage. An awareness campaign should be focused on promoting positive attitudes toward vaccination.

Abstract

Background: Meningiomas, common primary brain neoplasms, become more frequent with age. They can affect osseous structures, manifesting as hyperostosis and significantly diminishing the well-being of patients. Although meningiomas' precise etiology and pathogenesis remain ambiguous, hormonal influences and other factors have been implicated in their development. This study seeks to explain surgical management and cranioplasty reconstruction to reduce recurrence and improve the well-being of patients.Objective: This case series encompasses a retrospective analysis of medical records from six patients diagnosed with meningiomas with hyperostosis, treated between December 2022 and January 2024, at Dr. Soegiri General Hospital, Lamongan. The analysis focuses on surgical interventions and cranioplasty reconstruction.Cases Presentation: Six patients had chronic cephalgia and cranial masses persisting for 3-6 years. Computed tomography imaging revealed hyperostotic changes contiguous with the neoplastic lesions, prompting craniotomy. Subsequent acrylic cranioplasty was undertaken to ensure encephalic protection and to achieve cosmetic restoration.Conclusion: For patients presenting with meningiomas and hyperostosis, symptomatic management through surgical excision and resection of the hyperostotic bone is recommended. Early implementation of cranioplasty, preferably acrylic materials, is recommended to shield cerebral structures and restore cranial morphology, given its economic feasibility and reduced infection risk compared to autologous bone grafts

Abstract

Background: Healthcare systems worldwide face escalating costs and resource allocation challenges, making willingness to pay (WTP) a crucial economic evaluation tool for understanding patient preferences and informing healthcare policy decisions.Objective: This systematic literature review examined perceptions regarding health services' willingness to pay across diverse healthcare contexts.Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Studies published between 2024 and 2025 examining perceptions of health services WTP were included. Data extraction focused on study characteristics, methodologies, and key findings regarding WTP determinants.Results: Seventeen studies from 11 countries were included, comprising ten cross-sectional studies, two mixed-methods studies, and various other designs. Key findings revealed that WTP is influenced by sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, education, income), service-specific attributes (preventive vs. treatment services), and perceptual dimensions including perceived value, risk assessment, and trust. Educational attainment and income consistently emerged as positive predictors of WTP across different health services. Conclusion: WTP for health services represents a complex phenomenon mediated by perceptual factors beyond traditional economic considerations. Healthcare financing strategies should incorporate perception-focused interventions to align WTP with actual costs and improve healthcare accessibility.
