Abstract

Hand hygiene is one of the practical steps that healthcare providers can take to reduce the incidence of HAIs or nosocomial infections. The percentage of hand hygiene compliance is still low, between 35-55.3%. Several previous studies showed that many factors cause hand hygiene adherence. However, the results are still varied, so this study aimed to determine the factors of hand hygiene, determine the factors that most influence hand hygiene adherence, and the link between hand hygiene and the incidence of HAIs in hospitals. This systematic literature review follows the PRISMA protocol guidelines in three electronic databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar). Article quality was assessed using the JBI assessment tool and analyzed using meta-synthesis. The inclusion criteria are articles discussing hand hygiene compliance among hospital nurses and articles published in 2021-2023, so 15 selected papers. The determinants of hand hygiene compliance include knowledge, attitude, motivation, supervision from superiors or related parties, facilities, age, gender, years of service, and feedback. An electronic monitoring system also has significantly affected hand hygiene compliance. Several articles stated that the multimodal approach initiated by WHO positively impacted hand hygiene compliance. The most dominant factor is the knowledge variable. Hand hygiene compliance is closely related to the incidence of HAIs, when hand hygiene compliance is high, it can reduce the incidence of HAIs in health services.

Abstract

Public knowledge and awareness about COVID-19 are essential in efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Respiratory tract infections that cause mild to severe symptoms range from patients recovering after one week to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, and septic shock, as well as multi-organ failure, including acute kidney or heart failure. The family has a vital role in maintaining health by increasing knowledge, which will ultimately influence the family in making the right decisions in dealing with COVID-19. The study aimed to determine the effect of health education on COVID-19 on family knowledge and decision-making ability. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental group in 2 groups; the intervention and control groups were 25 people each. The test used is the dependent t-test in each group, which is 5%. The results of the study of knowledge in the intervention group obtained a p-value of 0.008 <0.05, and decision-making obtained a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. The results of the analysis show that there is an effect of health education on knowledge. While the knowledge variable in the control group had a p-value of 0.0952 > 0.05, The decision-making variable obtained a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05. Health education can improve health by increasing knowledge and decision-making about health behavior in dealing with COVID-19 disease.

Abstract

The demand for quality services to patients and families continues to increase, especially for nursing services, so it requires nurses who have good caring. Students of the nursing profession who are future nurse candidates, cannot be separated from these demands. These demands can have the potential to bring emotional exhaustion to students. Emotional exhaustion can be caused by social support, workload, and self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the increase in caring based on the analysis of the causes of emotional fatigue in nursing profession students. The research design in this study is a quantitative method with a cross sectional approach. The population of this study is professional students in two institutions in Jember. The number of samples in this study was 150 respondents, with accidental sampling techniques. Data taken from this study are caring behavior, self-efficacy, support, workload, and emotional exhaustion. In general, the results of this study were found that there was a relationship between social support and emotional fatigue (p-value = <0.0000, B: -0.986), there was a relationship between workload and emotional fatigue (p-value = <0.0000, B: 0.372), there was no relationship between self-efficacy and emotional fatigue (p-value = 0.356, B: -0.84) and there was a relationship between emotional fatigue and caring behavior (p-value = 0.002, correlation coefficient: 0.112). Caring can be improved by means of support from students' families, educational institutions and places of practice and calculating the workload experienced by students when carrying out practice.

Abstract

Stunting among children is a serious global concern including Indonesia since it has a negative impact on children's growth and development. Globally, more than 148 million children are affected by stunting. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting was 21.6% in 2022, which reflected a serious problem that needs to be addressed. This study aims to explore the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional status and stunting among under-five children in Indonesia. The current study explored the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and nutritional status with the incidence of stunting among under-five. The inclusion criteria consisted of original articles, open access, written in English/Indonesian, 2020-2023, discussed EBF, nutritional status, and stunting. Databases involved ScienceDirect, PubMed, BMC journals, Google Scholar. Article selection used keywords and MeSH, and the results were presented in a PRISMA diagram. It was conducted an analysis of 10 articles, which were grouped in a matrix based on author, year, journal name, title, methods, and results. The results revealed that exclusive breastfeeding practice was correlated with a 3.1-fold reduction in the risk of stunting (CI 95%=1.5–6.4). Factors such as good nutrition and breastfeeding for at least 6 months provided protection from the risk of stunting. In conclusion, exclusive breastfeeding and good nutritional status were required, along with strengthening education and promotion regarding nutritional fulfilment patterns. Integration of the study findings should be made in child health guidelines, which may further guide policy and practice, support concrete steps to reduce the prevalence of stunting, and ensure optimal growth of children. Recommendations in this study include improvement in maternal education, nutritional support, and child health policy advocacy. For next steps, in-depth research is needed to evaluate the impact of specific nutritional interventions, understand the social and cultural factors that influence nutritional practices, and assess the effectiveness of cross-sector programs in reducing the prevalence of stunting.

Abstract

Toxoplasmosis is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii). Blood and blood products are possible routes of transmission of T. gondii, especially in patients who have undergone multiple transfusions. The aim of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in female donors using blood serum which is analyzed serologically to detect ImmunoglobulinG (IgG) using the Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) method, as well as the relationship between risk factors for toxoplasmosis, such as keeping cats, receiving blood transfusions, eating undercooked meat and eating raw vegetables. This research is an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional study design. The sample taken is female donor candidates who are willing to participate during the study period, from March to September 2023, and have met the inclusion criteria to become research subjects by explaining the purpose and procedure of the study and the consent letter signed by each research subject before blood samples were taken and filling out the research questionnaire. 177 blood serum samples of female donors were collected from blood donor candidates using consecutive sampling method and a questionnaire to obtain risk factor data that influence the incidence of toxoplasmosis. The results showed that the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in the blood of female donor at Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit (UDD PMI) Semarang Regency, Central Java Province was 26.6%. In this study the risk factors that influence the incidence of toxoplasmosis are consuming raw vegetables with 5.835 times more risk than women who do not consume raw vegetables, while other factors such as keeping cats, receiving blood transfusions, and eating undercooked meat, have no significant effect. The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in female donors at UDD PMI of Semarang Regency is quite high due to the habit of eating raw vegetables or fresh vegetables with a very high transmission potential.

Abstract

This study aims to obtain a map of the distribution of HIV and AIDS Key Population Hotspots based on the criteria for MSM, Waria and FSW after the natural disaster in 2018. The remapping method uses a Geographic Information System (GIS) application. The data processing technique uses the waterfall model scheme, namely, completing the application in a structured or sequential manner, where a stage must be completed first before going to the next stage. No Ethical consideration is needed. The shift in key population hotspot data from 2017and to 2022 data and then Natural Disasters (Earthquake, Liquefaction and Tsunami) in 2018 had an impact on geographical location shifts with conditions in 2017, 4 Districts became key population hotspot locations with 29 hotspots while in 2022 14 key population hotspots were found consisting of 5 sub-districts, so there was an additional 1 sub-district which became a geographically shifting hotspot. Features of activity hubs centered on major population centers, such as hotels, boarding houses, salons, cafés, clubs, city parks, and malls in 2017; in 2022, other amenities like laundry will be included. Male Fellow (MSM), Female Sex Workers (FSW), and Transgender are the features of the major population hotspots since 2017, however in 2022 Natural Disasters (Earthquake, Liquefaction, and Tsunami) in 2018 did not suffer a shift.

Abstract

The recent pandemic has increased telemedicine use tremendously, but it has also pronounced access gaps to telemedicine. This study aimed to investigate factors affecting patient use of telehealth during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic. This article was created using a systematic review and meta-analysis study that searched for articles in electronic databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Observational studies are included in full papers with a publication year until 2022 were searched for this study. The Review Manager 5.3 (RevMan) software was used to analyze the articles in this study. We observed heterogeneity with a random-effect model to analyze the effect size from each primary study, and the results were reported as an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and corresponding 95 percent confidence interval (CI). A total of 9 articles reviewed in the meta-analysis (consisting of 4 articles in each variable) showed that patients whose primary language is non-English (aOR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.59 to 0.87; p= 0.0008) and have Medicaid insurance English (aOR= 0.86; 95% CI= 0.77 to 0.97; p= 0.02) were less likely to use telemedicine compared to patients who speak English and utilize private insurance. Medication insurance and non-English as a preferred language reduced the likelihood of patients using telemedicine.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is the best nutrient for babies. The impacts of not receiving exclusive breastfeeding are infection, high risk of infectious diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia, low immune system, and decreased brain development. breastfeeding reduces baby and toddler morbidity and mortality. Human milk glycans, which contain oligosaccharides in both their free and conjugated forms, are demonstrated in studies to be a component of a natural immune process that explains how human milk protects breastfed children from diarrheal illness. This study aims to analyze factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding in the work area of Bulili Public Health Center South Birobuli Subdistrict Palu. This quantitative research was conducted through a cross-sectional approach. This study involved 90 mothers with babies aged 7-12 months, which was carried out from March 2023. The sample was selected using simple random sampling based on inclusion criteria. Direct interviews were used to collect primary data, and secondary data were obtained from Indonesia's health profile, data from the Palu City Health Office 2021, and data on exclusive breastfeeding. The data were processed using the chi-square statistical test with a significance degree of α = 0.05. The results of the study were knowledge (p=0.018), attitude (p=0.001), interest in formula milk promotion (p=0.018), and family support (p=0,002). In Conclusion, there is a significant association between knowledge, attitude, interest in formula milk promotion, and family support with exclusive breastfeeding practice. It is suggested for mothers to increase knowledge, attitude, and family support by gaining information and using social media appropriately.

Abstract

Preclinical medical students have a big role as agents of change to raise awareness of the pandemic caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in family, friends, and society. This study aims to determine the final stage of preclinical medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 infection. This study used a cross-sectional method that was conducted on 213 final-stage preclinical medical students in a public university in Depok, Indonesia using an online validated KAP Questionnaire that measures age, gender, domicile, class, and level of KAP toward COVID-19 infection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21. The p-value <0.05 indicates statistical significance. The result KAP of students toward COVID-19 infection showed a good level of knowledge (73.7%), positive attitude (96.2%), and positive Practice (83.6). %). There was no relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward COVID-19 infection because a p-value of 0.211 (p >0.05) was obtained. Meanwhile, there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and practice toward COVID-19 infection with a p-value = 0.044 (p <0.05). The results revealed that the majority of preclinical medical students had favorable attitudes, had adequate knowledge of COVID-19, and used effective practices to stop the transmission of the disease.
