Abstract

Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) is a serious consequence in infants due to Rubella virus infection during early pregnancy which can cause several congenital abnormalities. In 2021, Indonesia became the country that reported the highest cases of CRS in the WHO Southeast Asia region with 229 cases out of a total of 402 cases (57%). There are various factors related to the incidence of CRS including vaccination, health facilities and mother and baby factors. Knowledge on these factors can be applied to improve efforts to prevent and control CRS cases. This study aims to determine the factors related to the incidence of CRS in Indonesia. This was a case-control study using secondary data derived from the 2020-2021 CRS sentinel surveillance reports of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Based on the results of multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression, it was revealed that there was one factor related to the incidence of CRS, namely the area of residence with an OR of 2.3 (95% CI: 1.49-3.42). The area of residence outside Java-Bali had a higher risk for the incidence of CRS by 2.3 times compared to the area of residence in Java-Bali. In contrast, other variables such as history of maternal vaccination, history of maternal Rubella infection, maternal age and the child gender were not found to be statistically related to the incidence of CRS. It can be concluded that the area of residence outside Java-Bali was a factor related to the incidence of CRS. Therefore, it is necessary to have an even distribution of Rubella vaccination coverage, strengthen the surveillance system and prepare equal distribution of health facilities to prevent the spread of Rubella cases.

Abstract

Covid-19 has an obvious impact on people's lives. Therefore, the government continues to make efforts to suppress and reduce the negative impacts. One of the efforts being made is to develop the pedulilindungi application to make it easier to track Covid-19 cases. However, the problem that occurs is the lack of utilization of the pedulilindungi application by the public. This study aims to analyze the effect of technology acceptance and technology readiness on the level of utilization of the pedulilindungii application as a Covid-19 mitigation effort. This was a quantitative study with a survey method. This study was conducted from June to August 2022. The population in this study were lecturers, staffs and students within the Muhammadiyah University of Sidenreng Rappang as many as 3394. The study samples were selected using random sampling technique with a target of 358 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the technology readiness index (TRI) to assess the level of technology readiness and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess the level of technology acceptance. Furthetmore, the data were analyzed using Path Analysis to determine the direct effect and variables of Technology Acceptance and Technology Readiness on mitigation effort, as well as the indirect effect through perception towards the Covid-19 policy. The study results showed that the values of the direct effect of Technology Acceptance and Technology Readiness variables on mitigation efforts were 0.228 and 0.095, respectively, while the indirect effect through the perception towards Covid-19 policy perception were 0.479 and 0.115, respectively. Thus, it was revealed that there wolud be an increase in the effect of Technology Acceptance and Technology Readiness on mitigation efforts if they were supported by government policies. It can be concluded that Technology Acceptance and Readiness had a significant effect on mitigation efforts through the use of the Pedulilindungi application supported by perception towards the Covid-19 policy.

Abstract

Food vendors are a group that is prone to contracting Covid-19 because they are still selling foods during a pandemic which can be a source of contamination through droplets or touching surfaces affected by droplets. Food vendors who do not implement health protocols are very vulnerable to being infected with Covid-19 which can further infect other people. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude and anxiety with the implementation of health protocols among food vendors at the UMS campus environment. This was an analytical observational study with a cross sectional approach. The current study was conducted at the Suherman Medical University (UMS) campus Environment, Pasir Gombong area, Bekasi District, from September to November 2021. The population in this study involved food vendors in the Pasir Gombong area with a sample size calculated using the Lemeshow formula which obtained 64 food vendors. The samples were selected using accidental sampling technique. Data collection was conducted by enumerators through interviews using questionnaires and observations. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square test, fisher's exact and logistic regression to determine the relationship between each variable. Furthermore, multivariate analysis was applied using the logistic regression test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between anxiety and implementation of health protocols with a p-value of 0.024 and OR=11.7 (1.214–113.3), between knowledge and implementation of health protocols with a p-value of 0.001 and OR= 6.3 (1.937–20.880); between attitude and implementation of health protocol with a p-value  of 0.000 and OR=8.6 (2.579-29.126). It can be concluded that knowledge, attitude and anxiety had a significant relationship with the implementation of health protocols among food vendors. Continuous education can be an effort to prevent health problems.

Abstract

Bipolar is a mood disorder characterized by extreme swings between feelings of happiness and sadness. Based on WHO data, around 60 million people experience bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder causes functional, psychosocial functioning, quality of life impairments and even the risk of suicide. The large number of smartphone users and the increasing computing power of mobile devices can be used as a reference in using smartphones for bipolar disorder. This systematic review aims to determine the use of smartphones for patients with bipolar disorder. The systematic review method was applied to search articles in electronic databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, and SpringerLink published in 2017-2021. The keywords used in the search were "smartphone", "bipolar disorder" using the Boolean "AND". Articles reviewed were those which met several inclusion criteria such as relevant to the study objective, written in English, not an article review, and free full text. An analysis towards 16 relevant articles found that the use of smartphones for patients with bipolar disorder was intended to measure and monitor signs and symptoms, as a medium for psychotherapy, and to increase adherence to medication. This can be a reference for healthcare workers in carrying out monitoring and management programs for bipolar disorder.
