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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic in more than 200 countries around the world. As the fourth most populous nation in the world, Indonesia is predicted to face a big threat to this pandemic particularly Jakarta as the epicenter of the virus in Indonesia. However, the nature of COVID-19 that can easily spread and also many undetected cases that do not present symptoms make it more difficult to determine the real mortality effects of COVID-19.The deaths in Jakarta from the new coronavirus may be higher than officially reported. To overcome this issue, this paper will provide an approach to measure the death impact of COVID-19 using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model (ARIMA). The model will predict the ‘what if’ normal condition of the number of funerals in Jakarta compared to the real situation in March 2020 as an approach of the actual effect of COVID-19 in Jakarta. This research revealed a discrepancy of 450-1070 funerals in March 2020 that could not be predicted by the ARIMA model. This funeral gap, a forecast error, could be an approach to the potential number of possible death impacts of COVID-19 in Jakarta that should be significantly higher than the report. The people should be more conscious and alert of COVID-19 situation.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is presently the most important topic worldwide. However, no vaccine or specific anti-viral treatment for the disease has been shown to be effective. In this emergency, identifying risk factors, preventive measures and estimating challenges which control available drug options for COVID-19 are key to mitigating the severity of the pandemic until specific drugs or vaccines become available. Therefore, this study aims to identify possible factors which affect these drug options. This study searched PubMed database using necessary Boolean operators from December 31st to March 31st 2020 in order to identify common risk factors, preventive measures, information regarding control challenges & evidence on the available drug options against COVID-19. Risk factors were found to be human-animal interactions, males, aged peopleand people with co-morbidity. Furthermore, protective factors comprised of personal hygiene etiquette maintenance, rapid identification, isolation and informing (3I tools) of the COVID-19 cases and media coverage on COVID-19. Till date, anti-viral drugs like remdesivir, chloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are available options to fight against COVID-19. More research is needed to determine other how to control the disease until specific treatment options are available as well as risk factors, and preventive measures.

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.

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 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.
