Abstract

Background: In low and middle income countries (LMICs) teachers send home children found sick in class devolving subsequent care to parents; where malaria is endemic, morbidity is high as the most parents fail to access WHO-endorsed rapid diagnostic testing (RDT and prompt treatment with artemisinin combination therapy (ACT). Consequently malaria is the principal reason a child misses school; so, we trained teachers to use RDT to evaluate all sick pupils and give ACT promptly to those positive.Aims: Pre, intra and post intervention evaluation of impact of using the WHO Health Promoting School (HPS) model to empower teachers to provide RDT and ACT and engage and inform pupils about malaria in 4 schools in rural Uganda.Methods: Documenting duration of absence from school as a surrogate measure for morbidity and change in children's knowledge and reported behaviors regarding malaria. Preintervention (year 1) baseline evaluation of days of absence and children's malaria knowledge/behavior; Intervention (year 2) trained teachers administered RDT in all sick children and treated those positive with ADT; Post-intervention (end of year 3) after schools independently continued RDT/ACT and education on malaria.Results: Pre-intervention <1:5 pupils had basic knowledge about malaria (caused by mosquitos; can be prevented; requires rapid diagnosis and prompt medication). In year 1: 953 of 1764 pupils were sent home due to illness. Mean duration of absence was 6.5 (SD 3.17) school days. In year 2: 1066 of 1774 pupils were sick, all had RDT, 765/1066 (68%) tested positive and received ACT; their duration of absence fell to 0.59 (SD 0.64) school days (p<0.001). By year 2 all children knew the signs and symptoms of malaria and had essential  epidemiological knowledge. Twelve months post intervention the universality of this knowledge had been sustained and the whole-school focus on malaria continued. Children reported better health, more consistent attendance and improved academic achievement, and had become proactive in prevention strategies; 6% fewer tested positive for malaria; and key health knowledge was being passed to new pupils.Conclusion: Teacher administered RDT/ACT reduced child morbidity from malaria significantly; essential knowledge was generated and new health practices acquired that changed behaviors. Our WHO HPS model is applicable to other LMICs where malaria is endemic and morbidity high Keywords: Health promoting schools, Malaria, School-based intervention, Teachers Submitted: 21 April 2017, Accepted: 4 October 2017.

Abstract

Background: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIB) is a worldwide health demand of both mother and child. EIB programme implementation is the duty and responsibility of all health care practitioners, ranging from executive staff and manager, which haven't runs well in dr. Mohammad Hoesin hospital.Aims: To identify opportunities and challenges of hospital management in running the EIB programme in Obstetric Department of dr. Mohammad Hoesin hospital.Methods: In this cross sectional study, all of birth mothers and health professionals were included. Samples were selected by purposive sampling. Data was obtained from the questionnaires which have been tested for validity and reliability.Results: Our study found disintegration of EIB implementation between the managerial and implementer staff. Most of EIB implementers (29 doctors and 14 midwives) stated that EIB was already done well but complained of low level of maternal EIB knowledge and lack of EIB practice support from hospital manager. While managerial staff (n = 12) blaming the EIB implementers worked attitude for this issue. Most patients (51,3%) performing EIB, while majority of no EIB group had abdominal delivery (p = 0,003) and complained that no EIB policy in operating room.Conclusion: At dr. Mohammad Hoesin hospital, EIB implementation faces challenges in managing the hospital, such no EIB policy in operating room, majority of patients are obstetric referral case with complication and unfit for EIB, managerial staff knowledge of EIB differ greatly, low socialization of EIB regulations and other elements of implementation, patient's level of knowledge, disintegration between the manager and executive staff causing ambiguity in the implementation of the EIB, and the lack of supervision of EIB implementation in the field.

Abstract

Background: Pharmacy as the main core of hospital is responsible for the quality and safety of medicines. Yet the numbers of medication errors are still high. Automated Dispensing Machine (ADM) is one of the solutions to reduce the dispensing errors in pharmacy. Many countries had studied and proved that the use of ADM gives more benefit than liability. However, ADM is considered as something new, a "nice to have” product.Aims: This study will explain the benefits of ADM especially in Indonesian hospital pharmacy.Methods: Systemic Review with PRISMA method uses 5 databases as Scopus, Springerlink, Google Scholar, Science Direct and ProQuest, with keywords Automated Dispensing Machine, Automated Dispensing Device, Automated Dispensing System, Automated Drug Dispensing System, or Robotic Dispensing System. The inclusion criteria are all the studies that showed any impact in minimum of one aspect of ADM in hospital.Results: There are 13 studies that explained ADM benefits such as increase staff satisfaction for the nurse and pharmacist, reduce dispensing errors about 35% or up to reducing all dispensing errors, time saving until 50% in peak hours and cost analysis and effectiveness. The cost analysis such as inventory stock reduction, increases the cost saving.Conclusion: In Indonesia, it needs many considerations to implement ADM but it had already installed in 1 Indonesia Hospital. This hospital had proved that ADM can reduce dispensing errors and can solve some pharmacy problem such as the human resources problems and the long waiting time. With the proven benefits of ADM, it is justified for Indonesian hospital to implement ADM and information system in their pharmacy. The effectiveness will perceive the pharmacy and positively affect to all related departments in hospital.

Below are the summary and keywords the journal provides for insight to our reader.  Summary: The article highlights the global epidemiological significance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in addressing poverty. It proposes an innovative approach using the World Health Organization's (WHO) Health Promoting School (HPS) model to address factors affecting children's health and well-being. The HPS approach focuses on multi-disciplinary strategies within school communities, aiming to generate lifelong awareness and positive behaviors that influence the social determinants of health. School-based programs, especially in low and middle-income countries, often include activities like planting school gardens, contributing to improved nutrition, academic achievement, and skill development. The article emphasizes the relevance of these initiatives to specific SDGs (1-6) and underscores the role of schools in reaching a large population to address social determinants of health.

Abstract

Background: To review global initiatives to reduce the burden of disease from malaria on school-aged children. The focus is on approaches with potential to reduce mortality and morbidity, improve the health and ability of children to attend school, avoid malaria impacting their potential academic achievement, and minimize the risk of short- and long-term cognitive impairment. Methods: Literature searches using defined terms related to malaria and education, and a scoping review of the key literature selected, to provide a narrative summary of the challenges and potential solutions identified. Results: There is robust evidence that school-aged children are particularly vulnerable to malaria, and need special measures to protect them; calls are widespread for better diagnostic approaches and program innovation because of current levels of malaria-related morbidity and mortality. School-based programs that educate children broadly on causation, prevention and care required can improve access to timely diagnosis and treatment; however, currently national malaria control interventions do not specifically target school-age children. The literature describes intervention strategies that include seasonal chemoprophylaxis, intermittent protective treatment and antimalarial therapy linked to mass drug administration for neglected tropical diseases. Recently, a community participatory intervention model based on WHO-endorsed diagnostic and treatment principles has taught teachers to screen all children sick at school using rapid point-of-care diagnostic testing and treat promptly with Artemesinin combination therapy; morbidity and absenteeism are significantly reduced. There is no consensus on the optimal intervention strategy; approaches will need to vary, but evidence of ‘what works and why' exists to guide constructive implementation measures in each endemic region. Conclusion: Malaria exemplifies how health inequity negatively impacts a child's health and ability to benefit from education, yet simple and effective school-based approaches exist that positively impact morbidity, provide access to WHO-endorsed diagnosis and treatment, are applicable worldwide and can increase the capacity of children to learn.

Abstract

Background: The use of nesting and prone position conditioned Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies as the mother's womb that helped in the development of physiological functions and achieve physiological function stability. This study aims to test the effectiveness of designed nesting with polyethylene terephthalate materials and the position of prone with standard care using a box of baby warmers for the length of stay which is observed from the achievement of the stability of vital signs on LBW. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental design study with non-equivalent control group design. The study population was all LBW treated in the Perinatal room with a sample of 36 LBW selected consecutively from newborns at RSUD RAA Soewondo Pa􀦞 and RSUD Dr. R. Soetrasno Rembang. Results: The combination of nesting polyethylene group with position prone achieved faster vital signs stability and shorter duration of treatment compared to the control group with p = 0.001 for temperature, respiration and oxygen saturation. Conclusion: The combination of polyethylene terephthalate nesting and prone position is effective to reduce the duration of treatment and achieving the stability of vital signs of low birth weight infants. This intervention can be used as LBW care during hospital and home care.

Abstract

Background: HIV/AIDS is still a problem in the health care system of developing countries. Migrant workers are considered a vulnerable population for HIV infection. The current information on HIV/AIDS and migrant workers is useful to provide suitable effective health interventions for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. This study aims to describe knowledge, attitudes and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors among Myanmar male migrant workers in Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Myanmar male migrant workers aged 18-60 years collected from February to May 2018. A total of 400 migrant workers who live in Patumthani provinces were selected by a convenience sampling method. Descriptive statistics were used to explore knowledge, a􀦮tudes and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors of participants. Results: The mean age of the participants was 33 years, ages ranged from 18 to 60 years old, achieved primary school (40.40%), and married (54.30%). An average living in Thailand was 3.25 years and monthly income was 9,166 baht (_286 USD), respectively. A majority of participants had a poor level of HIV/AIDS knowledge (55.25%) and a fair level of an attitude about HIV/AIDS disease and prevention (61.25%). Risk behaviors related to HIV/AIDS of participants who had sex with non-partners were 40.58%. Conclusion: Most participants had poor knowledge and a fair attitude of HIV/AIDS. Risk behaviors related to HIV/AIDS of the participants were relatively high. Moreover, most of participants had less access to health care services. This results confirmed that an urgent need to provide health intervention to increase knowledge on HIV/AIDS of Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand.

Abstract

Background: In Myanmar, alcohol consumption among university students had been recognized as a major public health concern. A cross-sectional study was done to investigate drinking alcohol and risk level assessment using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and examined the reasons of alcohol uses and types of beverage preference consumed. Methods: The two universities from three districts in Mandalay region were randomly selected, from which 976 students (stratified by academic year and sex) were contributed in self-administered questionnaire. Results: The mean age at first drinking alcohol among the participants was 16.36_0.15 years with range of 16 to 19 years. The drinking risk level assessment using the AUDIT test, nearly half of the participants 48.7% were abstainers and 86 (8.8%) were high risk drinkers while 28 (2.9%) had alcohol dependency. Among those, 57.8% had experiences of alcohol drinking and the favorite beverage of the university students who drink alcohol was beer. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that gender, smoking habit and living situation for drinking were significant predictors of alcohol consumption among university students. The results found out that living separately with parents and smoking habits were important factors for drinking alcohol with statistically significant at 95% confidence level. Conclusion: It provided evidence-based findings for knowing the alcohol consumption risk level among university students to prevent social deprivation and health risk behaviors. Findings from this study indicate a need for law governing, strictly prohibits the sale of alcohol directly or indirectly to those under the age of eighteen years. The alcohol intervention program can be helpful in modifying behaviors change communication in health promotion of university students.
