Abstract

Background & Aim: Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy persists, especially within specific demographics. This study delved into vaccine hesitancy among Northern Mindanao, Philippines, residents aged 20 to 64, aiming to understand factors shaping vaccination decisions. Employing the Health Belief Model, the research sought to dispel misconceptions and bolster vaccine uptake through evidence-based public health education and improved communication strategies. By examining socio-demographic variables like age, gender, education, religion, and vaccination status, the study informed targeted interventions for enhancing vaccine acceptance and bolstering community health outcomes. Methods: This study employed a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design and analyzed vaccine hesitancy factors among Northern Mindanao, Philippines residents aged 20 to 64. Stratified sampling ensured representative inclusion across age groups, with a sample size of 372 respondents. Statistical analyses, including F-tests and ANOVA, assessed hesitancy differences, while stringent adherence to data privacy regulations safeguarded participant confidentiality. Results: Among respondents, those aged 51 to 69 exhibited the highest vaccine hesitancy levels, particularly regarding uncertainty and knowledge about COVID-19 vaccines. However, no significant relationship was found between hesitancy levels and age or gender. Conversely, significant disparities in hesitancy were observed concerning educational attainment, religion, and vaccination status. Conclusion: While age, gender, education, and religion are associated with varying levels of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, none singularly determine hesitancy. Enhanced education and knowledge about vaccines correlate with decreased hesitancy, emphasizing the necessity of targeted education initiatives. However, significant hesitancy disparities based on vaccination status underscore the ongoing challenge of addressing hesitancy despite reassurances about vaccine safety. Recommendation: Implementing tailored educational programs that address specific concerns related to demographic factors is recommended as a crucial strategy for reducing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

Abstract

Background & Aim: Proper sanitation practices are vital for community welfare, particularly in rural areas with limited access to clean water. This study assessed residents' perceptions of sanitation practices before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explored the influence of age, gender, educational attainment, and family size on these perceptions to identify the most significant predictor. Methods & Materials: Conducted in a subdivision community in Northern Mindanao, Philippines, this descriptive quantitative study focused on residents aged 18 to 65 without diagnosed mental disorders. Using simple random sampling and Cochran's formula, 289 respondents represented the population. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA, t-tests, F-tests, and multiple regression, were used to explore relationships between variables and determine significant differences. Results: Significant differences existed in respondents' sanitation perceptions before and during the pandemic. Older individuals had higher perceptions before, while middle-aged individuals showed higher perceptions during the pandemic. Females consistently demonstrated higher perception levels than males. Education influenced perceptions, with college-educated respondents having the highest before and those with elementary education showing the highest during the pandemic. Family size significantly affected perceptions before. Gender emerged as the most predictive variable for sanitation perceptions before and during the pandemic: multiple regression identified age, gender, and family size as significant predictors. Conclusion: A Continued health education effort is crucial for sustaining correct perceptions. Addressing gender disparities and tailoring interventions to diverse age groups are essential for promoting equitable sanitation access and fostering healthier communities. Consistency in health education is vital for sustaining positive perceptions and ensuring behavioral change beyond the pandemic.

Abstract

Background: Proper sanitation practices are crucial for public health, especially in regions with limited access to clean water. Objective: This study aimed to assess sanitation compliance among residents in a barangay in Northern Mindanao. It investigated the influence of age, education, gender, and socio-economic status on sanitation compliance. Methods: This descriptive study assessed sanitation compliance among barangay residents in Northern Mindanao. Simple random sampling was used; 231 respondents aged 21 to 60 Results: Significant differences were observed in compliance with sanitation practices based on age, particularly regarding water facilities and use. However, no significant difference was found for sanitation facilities and use. Educational attainment did not influence compliance with either water or sanitation practices. Gender did not significantly impact compliance with sanitation practices for water and sanitation facilities and use. Socio-economic status significantly differed in compliance with water facilities and use, but not for sanitation facilities and use. Conclusion: While age impacted compliance with water facilities, educational attainment did not show a significant effect. Gender also did not influence compliance significantly. However, socio-economic status notably affected compliance with water facilities. These insights highlight the importance of targeted interventions to improve sanitation practices across different demographic groups, ultimately enhancing community health and well-being. Recommendation: Clinical practitioners should focus on targeted interventions tailored to specific demographic groups, particularly addressing age-related factors affecting compliance with water facilities, and socio-economic status influencing compliance with water facilities and use, to effectively improve sanitation practices and enhance community health and well-being in regions with limited access to clean water like Northern Mindanao

Abstract

Background: People with different characteristics are very selective in choosing hospital health services. People would select the hospital with modern, best medical facilities and trained doctors who offer high-quality services consistently. However, having a successful hospital and able to attract patients back is difficult, especially in the context of limited relevant literature. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of brand image and perceived medical quality on intention of re-visit with word of mouth as mediation variable among patients in Sari Asih Cipondoh Hospital, Tangerang. Method: We conduct the cross-sectional study to examine the causalities of independent variable with dependent variable. One hundred seventy-five patients were recruited in this study especially those who have visit the hospital at least once within two year. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Partial Least Square (PLS) approach was applied to analyze the data. Result: The results showed that brand image and perceived medical quality had a positive influence on word of mouth and the intention to hospital re-visit and word of mouth had an impact on the intentions to re-visit hospital. Implication: A good hospital brand image perception is enough for the patient to encourage the intention to visit again. Medical quality is considered important to hospitals, as patients can enjoy it immediately, especially in increasing the intention to visit again. In addition, patients will be more confident to use health care if word of mouth is high

Abstract

Background: The decreasing number of patient visits is influenced by patient experiences that do not match their expectations. The patient's lack of trust and its medical staff still causes patients to not return for treatment. Objective: This study aims to analyse the association between patient experience and effective communication on patient loyalty through trust as an intervening variable. The sample for this study was outpatients who had been treated more than 2 (two) times at the internal medicine polyclinic at Dompet Dhuafa Integrated Health Home Hospital using BPJS insurance. The sample consisted of 280 people. The type of research is causality explanatory research with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique for this research uses a purposive sampling technique with statistical analysis using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Smart PLS software. The research results show that patient experience has a significant effect on BPJS patient loyalty through trust as an intervening variable seen from the R square value of 29.3% and effective communication has a significant effect on BPJS patient loyalty through trust as an intervening variable seen from the R square value of 33. 2%. It is recommended that hospital management be able to provide a good patient experience and effective communication by fostering a sense of trust from patients to increase loyalty to the hospital

Abstract

Introduction: Shock is a clinical syndrome that occurs due to hemodynamic and metabolic disorders characterized by failure of the circulatory system to maintain adequate perfusion to the body's vital organs. Objective: This study aimed to describe the implementation of the Trendelenburg position intervention in patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit. Method: Researchers used the case report method to explain the implementation of the Trendelenburg position intervention in shock management. Result: In this study, the Trendenburg position can increase perfusion in patients with septic shock at the beginning of the maneuver but it does not last long. This position helps increase the perfusion of vital organs by improving blood flow to the brain and other organs in the patient. Recommendation: This study concludes that the Trendelenburg position has a positive effect on patients with septic shock if combined with other interventions and pharmacological support. Keywords: Intensive Care Unit, Shock, Trendelenburg
