Abstract

This study aimed to assess the perception of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) information provision and the health protective behavior as potential factors of feelings of anxiety and happiness among the general population in Indonesia during the outbreak. We conducted an online survey using snowball sampling techniques. The online survey collected information about demographic data, information provision of COVID-19, health prevention behaviors, and feelings of anxiety and happiness. This study involved 3,686 participants in Indonesia in the period from 2nd of April to 4th of April 2020. We found that the most frequent source of information reported was social media. The majority of participants were satisfied with the amount of information provided (98%), however 54% of the participants reported that no information or very little information about the screening/test and the treatment of COVID-19 was provided. The most frequent protective behaviour was implemented cough attitude, avoided handshake, and applied physical distancing. High exposure of Information about COVID-19 and doing preventive measures were associated with greater anxiety. Nonetheless, some preventive measures appeared to be positively associated with feelings of happiness. Our results give an indications about the information provision, application of preventive measure and the factors associated with feelings of anxiety and happiness.

Abstract

Workplace violence (WPV) has become a global safety and health concern in recent times particularly in the healthcare sector. In addition, low levels of organisational safety climate (OSC) have been associated with higher occurrence of occupational related health outcomes. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine the association between organisational safety climate and workplace violence among government primary healthcare workers. A cross-sectional study among a stratified random sample of 838 primary healthcare workers (HCW) from the nine district health offices under the Selangor state health department. Two standardized self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain data on WPV and OSC. Logistic regression models used to estimate the association between OSC and WPV. Prevalence of WPV was 68.5% whereby verbal abuse was the most common type (65%) followed by bullying (27%), physical violence (6%) and sexual harassment (2%). Nurses (29.7%) were the most affected by WPV. The main perpetrators were relatives of patients (38%). Low level of OSC was also associated with WPV (OR=3.04, 95% CI=1.45-6.41). The results of this study confirmed that safety climate is associated with WPV. Hence, interventions and efforts to prevent WPV among HCW should also include improving organizational safety factors.

Abstract

Heart failure is a chronic disease that has a high rehospitalization rate. The cause of rehospitalization is due to inadequate self-care behavior. For that we need the role of the family in self-care by means of family empowerment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between family empowerment and the ability of families to do self-care in the intermediate care room in Malang. This study a cross sectional design and consecutive sampling technique with 100 subjects. The family empowerment scale (FES) and contribution caregiver self care heart failure index (CCSCHFI) are used to assess families' abilities to care for themselves. The statistical test used is the Pearson correlation test. The mean value of family empowerment is 127.00 and the ability to do self-care is 48.28. Pearson correlation test results obtained p-value 0.000<alpha 0.05. In heart failure patients, there is a high correlation between family support and their ability to self-care. Family empowerment and ability to do self-care is lacking due to a lack of family knowledge about heart failure and its treatment. It is recommended that the nurse be more maintenance in providing education related to patient self-care to the family during treatment by empowering the family.

Abstract

The current study sought to identify factors that may affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients recovering from COVID-19 infection in Iran. In a cross-sectional study 258 patients diagnosed with COVID-19, participants completed a questionnaire approximately one month after hospital discharge when demographic and clinical factors (including insomnia) and HRQoL were assessed. A logistic regression was used. Age, gender, marital status, education, having child, early physician visit, early diagnosis, early hospitalization, symptom type, Rhesus factor, and level of insomnia were associated with various components of HRQoL (p<0.05). In multivariate analyses, poorer physical HRQoL was independently associated with female gender (OR=4.53; 95% CI=2.22-2.29), initial symptom of cough (OR=2.73; 95% CI=1.26-5.94), and insomnia (OR=2.74; 95% CI=1.22-6.14). Poorer mental HRQoL was associated with being age 40 years or older (OR=1.90; 95% CI=1.02-3.54), female gender (OR=2.48; 95% CI=1.26-4.88), initial symptom being cough (OR=3.12; 95% CI=1.46-6.68), and insomnia (sub-threshold insomnia, OR=3.19; 95% CI, 1.51-6.74, to severe insomnia, OR=3.86; 95% CI=1.35-11.07). Healthcare professionals should be aware that older people, female gender, those with initial symptom of cough, and insomnia may be at greater risk for poor quality of life following hospital discharge.

Abstract

The rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to public safety. The use of water containing resistant bacteria could increase the risk of spreading AMR. This study assessed the quality of 143 dug wells used for domestic purposes in some communities in Nigeria and determined the resistance profile of isolated Escherichia coli (E. coli). The MicrobactTM identification kit was used to identify the isolates, and the susceptibility profile was evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The combination disc technique was used to test all isolates for extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) production. Polymerase chain reaction was used to identify ESBL genes, Integrons, and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes. A total of 110 (76.9%) wells were contaminated by coliform bacteria. Of these, 94 (84.45%) wells yielded 202 E. coli strains. The isolates were commonly resistant to ampicillin (60.9%) but were all susceptible to meropenem. Seventy-seven (38.1%) isolates were multi-drug resistant. Two isolates harbored blaCTX-M and blaTEM separately while four (19%) ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates carried the oqxAB/aac-lb-cr gene. All isolates with resistance genes harbored class 1 and/2 Integrons. Most wells had coliform counts far above the World Health Organization’s recommended limit, indicating that they are unsafe to drink. The presence of multidrug-resistant isolates in well water poses a serious risk to consumers since it might lead to outbreaks of untreatable water-borne diseases.

Abstract

Pharmacists play a role in providing health care for mental illness patients such as medication management, providing drug information, medication counseling, and facilitating treatment adherence strategies. This study aimed to determine the effect of stigma, attitude and belief on the willingness to provide pharmaceutival services for mental illness individuals. This study design is a quantitative correlational study with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique in this study used a purposive sampling approach. The sample used was 376 respondents with the inclusion criteria of undergraduate and diploma pharmacy students in Central Java, Indonesia. Data analysis were conducted in structural equation modeling - partial least square (SEM-PLS). The statistical results showed that attitudes had a positive effect on the willingness of pharmacy students to provide pharmaceutical services for mental illness individuals (p<0.05). However, stigma and belief do not affect the willingness of pharmacy students to provide pharmaceutical services for mental illness individuals (p>0.05). This study suggested conducting learning evaluations such as improving mental health literacy and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of Islamic interpersonal competence integrity as a therapeutic education process on healing motivation. Researchers used Sequential Explanatory Designs as a research design. The respondets were Muslim patients who received inpatient services at the Banjarmasin Islamic Hospital. Subjects were 147 patients who were taken sequentially using a consecutive sampling technique. Researchers used Chi-square inferential statistical tests and Logistic Regression tests in quantitative analysis, while in qualitative analysis, researchers used Taxonomic analysis. The results of the Chi-square analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between each aspect of Al-Luthfu (hospitality), Al-Adab (politeness), Al-'Uthfu (gentleness in the form of attention), and As-Shabru (patience) with healing motivation. The results of the Logistics Regression analysis showed that simultaneously there was a significant effect on aspects of Al-Luthfu, Al-'Uthfu, and As-Shabru on healing motivation. Qualitatively, the process of implementing Islamic interpersonal competence integrity education considers the patient's level of anxiety, stress level of chronic illness and avoids patient discomfort to nurses. This study suggested to nurses of Banjarmasin Islamic Hospital to build a commitment to serve patients by prioritizing aspects of As-Shabru, building Islamic-based communication, increasing educational competence, and understanding patient characteristics.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a serious issue nowadays. Several studies showed that male was more vulnerable to COVID-19 than female. Functional food consumption can be used to overcome COVID-19 since it boosts someone’s immune system and reduces the risk of contracting non-communicable diseases simultaneously. It is important to improve males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is lack of research on males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this, this research aims to test the effect of perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived benefit of functional food related to COVID-19, e-health literacy, digital health communication media usage, attitude toward functional food, functional food accessibility, and social influences-injunctive norm and descriptive norm–on males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study collected data through a survey. It involved 204 male respondents in Banten, Indonesia. This research found that males’ functional food loyalty during the COVID-19 pandemic was significantly and positively affected by attitude toward functional food, injunctive norm, food accessibility and digital health communication usage. However, males’ functional food loyalty was not significantly affected by the perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived benefit of functional food related to COVID-19, descriptive norm and e-health literacy.

Abstract

In order to curb the depression levels among youth during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, we examined the recurrent themes of mixed expressive writing among undergraduates during the pandemic. Previous quantitative studies had emphasized on the effectiveness of expressive writing in reducing depressive symptoms, however, less qualitative studies were conducted in evaluating the content within people’s writings. As the pandemic had caused major disruptions among people, we implemented mixed expressive writing in capturing both positive and negative experiences during the pandemic. Ten participants were recruited to perform mixed expressive writing twice per week, for four consecutive weeks. Thematic analysis was used in analyzing their writings and forming the emerged themes. Five themes were formed, which included ‘school’, ‘relationships’, ‘reflection’, ‘work’, and “random incidents’. Future research should examine the effectiveness of expressive writing in writing specific themes on improving its respective psychological constructs.
