Abstract

Ambarawa Sub District Semarang District is an endemic area of DHF. Furthermore, the year 2019 recorded an increase in the IR and CFR by 271.73, and 1.123% respectively. Insecticide resistance contributed to the increase in DHF cases. Therefore, this study aims to determine the description of community behavior concerning the use of household and agricultural insecticide which lead to insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti. This type of research is descriptive using qualitative methods. The informants are insecticide users in Ambarawa subdistrict. Twenty-four sample is choosen by purposive sampling. In-depth interview is carried out for the data collection. Data analysis used is data reduction, data presentation, and data verification using the manual way. As the result of the study, most of the subjects experienced a decrease in the effectiveness of insecticides, caused by poor community knowledge, and behavior of people who did not apply any insecticide resistance management guidelines. Considering the condition of current insecticide circulation, the government needs to make policies relating to the management of insecticide resistance

Abstract

This study aims to describe the experience of female sex workers (FSWs) living with HIV in Indonesia during the care and treatment cascade, including the challenges and support associated with them. It was initiated by a trained community study team from OPSI, a national network for FSW community in the country. A mixed-method design was used, consisting of a cross-sectional survey and qualitative interviews conducted in four large cities in May and June 2019. Quantitative data were collected from 80 FSWs living with HIV, while qualitative interviews were conducted for 9 FSWs previously involved in the survey. Most of the FSWs were diagnosed with HIV at facility-based HIV testing services. While most FSWs delayed initiating their treatment, majority eventually commenced it. Overall treatment retention was fairly good, but some were being inconsistent or even stopped. However, individuals that have access to viral load test was low, leading to a small number of those confirming their viral suppression status. Conclusively, interventions directed to strengthen individuals’ literacy in HIV treatment and stigma management is recommended, as well as identification of maximum potential support systems around the FSWs.

Abstract

Breast cancer early diagnosis increases treatment chances, and self-examination is one of the commonest screening methods employed by women. The case of a 24-year-old Iranian woman with a history of mild mental retardation and chest pain was reported. A large lump was detected in the breast during visitation to the surgical clinic. The parents stated the lump was noticed due to a shape change in the clothes covering the patient's chest area. Therefore, the patient had mastectomy surgery after a biopsy and a malignant breast lump was confirmed. The registration and identification of people with mental disorder histories or various mental retardation degrees in each region's health centers to periodically assess their breast health tend to reduce the risk of late breast cancer detection in women.

Abstract

The blood processing replacement costs (BPPD) establishment in Indonesia is an incomprehensive cost calculation for blood services. Several countries have calculated costs for blood services at health care institutions through an activity framework plus generated blood products and components costs as well as blood services fees. This study aims to discuss the cost calculation method for blood services carried out in Zimbabwe, Canada, United Kingdom, Greece and India. It was a literature review conducted by accessing scientific articles sourced from the Google Scholar database. A total of 11 articles were collected, but only 5 with relevant topics were discussed. Blood service cost calculation provides information of various activities involved in producing a product and service. Also, blood service framework model determination was needed as a cost center for estimation to prevent duplication. Each activity's total output from the cost center was used in calculating the unit cost of the activity or product. The blood products and components include whole blood, red blood cells, platelets, plasma (FFP), and cryoprecipitate. Each of the blood components require a different cost determined by the activity involved in their production.

Abstract

The Covid-19 outbreak has psychological impacts on frontline medical personnel at risk of infection. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of online affirmations and peer support on medical personnel stress level in dealing with Covid-19 patients, as well as social support and spiritual intelligence's influence. It was a quasi-experiment with pre- and post-test administered to 25 and 30 medical personnel as the intervention and control groups, respectively. The intervention was carried out on WhatsApp group for 4 weeks. The stress level pair T-test results showed p = 0.000 in the intervention group and p = 0.238 in the control, while the independent T-test results showed p = 0.009. Social support did not affect medical personnel’s stress (p=0.978), but the effect of spiritual intelligence was significant (p=0.000). According to the results of multiple regression test conducted using the Enter method, the coefficient value (R2) = 0.584. This intervention was effective in helping medical personnel to manage stress. Hence, hospital managers need to carry out stress management training to maintain medical personnel’s mental health.

Abstract

Since the first outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, research on modeling and simulation has grown, particularly to estimate the peak and end time of the pandemic which has been exceeded in some cases. This study aims to model the current virus spread with discrete event simulation, using the case of Jakarta. About 2 million of Jakarta's susceptible population was used for the the model's input which ran for a year. The data was obtained from past records and were divided into three main timelines (i.e. initial stage, large scale restriction and new normal) in order to validate the model with real cases step by step. Scenario analysis was then performed by evaluating five possible interventions such as: existing scenarios, social and health intervention, mass vaccination and hybrid intervention. The results show that the model represents real cases with a variation of less than 5% during the timeline. Furthermore, scenario analysis showed that mass vaccination, hybrid and social intervention provide the least positive cases in the system. This study recommends that hybrid intervention should be used while the vaccine is being mass produced, and the implementation of social intervention should be highlighted.

Abstract

Obesity is excessive body fat condition due to differences in energy consumption and expenditure. In Indonesia, the prevalence of obese women >18 years old is 32.9%. Interventions are performed with control eating and increased physical activity through an educational approach. A Leaflet is a print media containing some information, while my weight loss diet application is used by people that want to lose weight. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of nutritional education with leaflet and my weight loss diet application on nutritional status changes in obesity. True experimental design was used with pre-post test on female students divided into two groups in Universitas Brawijaya (n= 44) and selected by purposive sampling. Also, Independent-Samples T-Test and Mann Whitney analysis were conducted. The results showed a body mass index decrease in both media and no significant change related to BMI (p = 0.733). However, the decrease was more shown on the leaflet, where the body fat percentage had a significant change (p = 0.000). Hence, intervention using the leaflet is more effective on nutritional status changes related with BMI and body fat percentage in obese students.

Abstract

The difficulty of the community to understand health behavior is the main cause of poor physical activity behavior. The aim of this study is to explore health education barriers to controlling blood glucose patient with DM in primry health care. The Forum Group Discussion (n = 22) and interview (n = 5) methods were to explore the patient's desire to overcome educational barriers. Informants were patients with DM aged of 26-69 year-old from two community health center and two private health center in Sleman Regency, Indonesia. The questions were around barriers to physical activity programs for controlling blood glucose. The data were analyzed using Opencode. Boring educational training is the leading cause of physical activity and dietary control in patients with DM. Formal language in delivering material is the cause of patient boredom to take part in the training. Despise and feeling of anxiety to ask questions during the educational procedure that the patient feels. Also, in terms of health service providers, limited human resources have resulted in a lack of maximum education programs for patients with DM in Yogyakarta.Tense atmosphere and language that is difficult to understand have a negative impact on patient behavior to change physical activity behavior and controlled eating patterns in patients with DM.

Abstract

Workplace bullying has become a psychosocial hazard that will decrease the performance of workers and will ultimately decrease the performance of the company's organization. This study was conducted to look into the correlation between bullying, psychological distress, and satisfaction with life. Respondents involved are offshore workers of an oil and gas company (N = 206) from various entities which are divided into permanent and contract workers, as well as into staff and non-staff positions, who were recruited using the snowball sampling method. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation test with the SPSS software. Statistical test results showed a significant association between bullying and psychological distress (r permanent=0.658, r contract=0.460, r staff=0.641, and r non-staff=0.453, p =0.001) and satisfaction with life (r permanent=-0.272, r contract=-0.232, r staff=-0.396, and r non-staff=-0.179, p =0.01). From the analysis, it was concluded that permanent workers and staff position have a higher level of psychological distress than contract workers and non-staff, yet they also have a higher level of satisfaction with life. This finding shows the presence of a mediating factor that underlies the fact that although the stress level is higher, the level of satisfaction with life remains higher among these workers. Thus, in-depth research on this phenomenon would be needed.
