Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has decreased in recurrent cardiac events. However, information related the needs of cardiac rehabilitation patients such as exercise and physical activities counseling are very limited. This study aims to identify the needs of cardiac rehabilitation patients such as exercise, physical activity counselling, and the relationship between them. It also applied a quantitative approach combined with a descriptive correlational method. 38 cardiac rehabilitation patients were recruited as samples and were selected using the convenience sampling technique. Data collection was performed using questionnaires filled out by the respondents (with a retrospective technique) at the end of the CR program, and the results were evaluated through descriptive correlational statistics. The results revealed that patients with CR required exercise (92.1%) and nurses' counseling for physical activities (86.9%). It also indicates that there is a statistically positive relationship between exercise and physical activities counseling among CR patients (r = 0.485, p < 0.01). Consequently, most CR patients desire nurses to take part in their exercise and physical activities. The needs of CR patients on exercise and physical activity counseling were correlated positively. Therefore, information regarding exercise and physical activity for CR patients should be provided simultaneously to complement each other.

Abstract

Copper (Cu) is a heavy metal that is absorbed by organisms, such as Oreochromis mossambicus fish. This research aims to measure the bio-concentration of Cu in Oreochromis mossambicus and to predict the daily consumption of the fish. Samples of Oreochromis mossambicus fish were obtained from fishermen and collectors. The Cu concentration in the water and 30 fish was identified using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry method. Questionnaires were employed to identify the demographic data of 101 respondents. The average concentration of Cu in the Oreochromis mossambicus fish and Rawapening Lake's water was 0.063 mg/l and 0.6 mg/kg, respectively. Furthermore, the bio-concentration of Cu in the Oreochromis mossambicus fish was 10.26±5.17 and categorized as low, while the average daily consumption of fish was 225±36.89 g/day. Therefore, it was concluded that the average bio-concentration and the daily consumption of the fish are in the low and safe category respectively.

Abstract

The Scaling-Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement was an intervention to overcome chronic malnutrition through integrated stakeholder collaboration. Furthermore, the roles of stakeholders' in the SUN-Movement were not optimal and their characteristics were not yet known based on the groups and government areas (cities and regency). This study aims to map the SUN-Movement stakeholders' roles in different groups and government areas based on their attitudes, powers, and interests. This is an observational descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Totally of 30 institutions as stakeholders were involved in this study and divided into 3 different groups, namely Decision Maker (DM), Provider (P), and Clients & Representatives (CR). The DM group have the power to influence programs. Also, the P group was better at handling technical issues, however, it cannot build collaboration with other stakeholders. The CR tend to build this collaboration passively, nevertheless, it does not consider the SUN-Movement to be important. Consequently, each stakeholder views their roles differently. Different perceptions about stakeholders' roles in various indicators and government areas reveals an implementation gap in the SUN-Movement. Therefore, in conclusion, strengthening advocacy, coordination, routine socialization, and communication between stakeholders could bridge the needs, constraints and challenges that cause malnutrition and stunting.

Abstract

The antenatal treatment has been ineffective in reducing maternal mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to examine health insurance effect on Indonesia's antenatal care quality. The 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey data were processed. Moreover, a sample size of 15,351 participants was selected using the analysis unit of study for women aged 15 to 49. In the final stage, Binary Logistic Regression was used, while other variables examined besides antenatal treatment included health insurance, residence, age, marital, education, parity, and wealth. Based on the complete category of antenatal care visits, women that did antenatal care visits were ≥ four, occupied by both types of health insurance ownership. The multivariable analysis indicated that health insurance ownership affects antenatal care completeness as insured women were 1.394 times higher than uninsured women (OR= 1.394; 95% CI= 1.257-1.546). Result showed other determinant variables, namely age, education, parity, and wealth were also found. In conclusion, health insurance gives Indonesian women a better possibility of receiving complete antenatal care.

Abstract

The selection of input and output variables usually pose a problem when carrying out efficiency assessment in hospitals. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an instrument that is used to calculate the efficiency of a hospital using some inputs and outputs. Therefore, this study aims to identify the most frequently used hospital inputs and outputs from an existing paper,, in order to assist the hospital management staffs in choosing the relevant variables that can represent available inputs, are easily accessible, and need improvement. It was conducted using keywords such as “hospital efficiency” and “DEA for hospital” to search for peer-reviewed journals in the PubMed and Open Knowledge Maps from the year 2014-2020. From, the 586 articles, 54 samples were obtained from the about 5-3504 hospitals which were analyzed from 23 countries. The results showed that, the five most used inputs were the number of beds, medical personnel, non-medical staff, medical technician staff and operational costs, while the most used outputs were number of inpatients, surgeries, emergency visits, outpatient service, and days of inpatients. These variables are often used for accessing the efficiency of hospitals in the DEA application.

Abstract

Midwives are one of the health workers utilizing the MCH (Maternal Child Health) handbook which records the data used to prevent infant, under-five, and maternal mortality. This study aimed to investigate factors related to utilization of the MCH handbook data, namely individual, organizational, and operational techniques. Quantitative approach was used in a cross-sectional survey with a structured questionnaire. Thirty-one midwives were selected as the sample from Active Alert Village in Temanggung district with rural and urban area representative consideration. Besides, descriptive data were tabulated, and inferential analysis was conducted by Pearson product-moment correlation. Result showed the rate of MCH Handbook data utilization was 78.54%. Also, data requirement perception, data filling skill, motivation, attitudes of midwives and facilities availablity (p < 0.05) are significantly related. The MCH handbook data utilization was determined by the individual factor, but with no significant relationship to operational and organizational factors except facilities availability. Therefore, efforts are required to improve data utilization by increasing data requirement perception, data filling skills, motivation and midwives attitudes.

Abstract

Medication is an important part of a patient's treatment by clinicians and is one of the measures taken by them during the entire period of treatment. This descriptive cross-sectional study aims to assess patients’ understanding about prescribed medication obtained after consultation with clinicians at the outdoor patient department of a tertiary care hospital in central Gujarat, India. 184 patients from different clinical departments were interviewed after their consultation with the clinician. Majority of the subjects (45.5%) were 25-44 years of age, while the rest ranged from 45-54 years of age group. Furthermore, 55.5% of the subjects were female, 20.4% were Illiterate people, and 32.5% were educated up to primary level. The results showed that 84.3% of the patients were informed about proposed treatment duration, while 13.9% were informed about diet relation. Therefore, the patients had fair knowledge about the disease they were suffering from and proposed duration of treatment, but they were not aware of about the line of treatment. In conclusion, patients need to be educated about the correct use of medications by clinicians.
