Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of the students about Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) before the Philippines government implements the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon. A descriptive research design was conducted among the students of Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, San Isidro Campus. The sample size was computed by using the Epi-Info version 2000 Computer Programme. Questionnaire was used to collect data that was composed of the profile, questions regarding their knowledge about COVID-19 and their source of knowledge. Permission to conduct and informed consent was obtained before the respondent answer the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using various statistical tools. Majority of the respondents had an average and good knowledge while sex was the only variable that differs significantly in their knowledge about COVID-19. Social media and seminars in the school were among their primary source of knowledge. It is concluded that students‟ knowledge about COVID-19 was sufficient. However, the absence of vaccines against COVID-19, prevention and control of the disease was the only way to fight it which requires organizing health education campaigns in different communities to disseminate more information on how everybody can effectively deal with this pandemic.

Abstract

Globally, diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among under-five years of children. Every day, approximately 2195 children die due to diarrheal diseases, which accounts for 1 in 9 child deaths worldwide. Many interventions that attempt to reduce childhood diarrhea are often fail because they are programed without understanding the problem in the target community and are culturally unsuitable. Therefore, this study aimed to assess perception and management preference of acute diarrheal disease among mothers who attend under five clinics. An institution based descriptive cross sectional study was conducted from May 1-May 30/2019. A total of 276 respondents were included in the study and consecutive sampling technique was used to identify the study participants. The results show that 47% of respondents perceive childhood diarrhea is caused by teething, 47.8% of the respondents perceive that diarrhea cannot be transmitted from one child to other. Majority of care givers prefer to give home remedies to their child, and also a substantial proportion of mothers and caregivers were not adequately knowledgeable on the use of oral rehydration salt which resulted in many of them using traditional medicine. There is need for increased health education focused on increasing caregivers‟ knowledge about the cause of diarrhea and enhancing adoption of appropriate prevention practices of diarrhea among children under five years.

Abstract

Polycystic ovarium syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age, characterized by menstrual disorders (amenorrhea/oligomenorrhea), hirsutism, the appearance of acne, alopecia and the results of biochemical tests that show increased androgens (testosterone). Increased serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) serve as diagnostic tests for PCOS over the years, but from several research results obtained inconsistent results that need further research. The purpose of this study is to analyze the hormonal profile and characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Madura. Case-control study conducted in March-August 2019 in the Madura tribe. There were 32 subjects with PCOS and 32 healthy women participated in this study. Hormonal examination was using a serum and followed by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA kit). Levels Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) average was 8.74 and SHBGs were 10.02 lower in PCOS patients and LH levels were higher in PCOS patients; ratio LH/FSH was 0.76. The results of the Madurese study showed that levels of FSH, LH, weight significantly related to PCOS sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), however body mass index (BMI) levels were not related to PCOS.

Abstract

The extent of nutritional status affecting Rohingya refugee under-five children has become a major health issues in Bangladesh. This study aimed to investigate the nutritional status and its effect on under-five Rohingya children in comparison with the areas of Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study of 300 under-five children were conducted by structured questionnaire from Rohingya camp (100), Cox’s Bazar (100) and Dumki (100) applying simple random method. Anthropometric indices (weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)) were measured in children aged 6-59 months. Indices were reported in z-scores and compared with WHO 2005 reference population. Data were analyzed by WHO Anthro-Plus Software and SPSS. About 41% Rohingya, 43% surrounding areas, and 46% Dumki were stunting in height-for-age z-score (HAZ) score respectively. Near about 13%, 11% and 4% were wasting in weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) score and 18%, 15% and 10% were underweight in weight for age Z-score (WAZ) score respectively. Food groups, Disease, worm infestation among 3 study areas were statistically significant (P< .05). Moreover, handwashing practice, vitamin-A consumption and worm infestation effects among diseases were statistically significant. In this study population, there was high prevalence of malnutrition among Rohingya children, especially wasting and underweight compared to other areas. Prevention of malnutrition plays an important role for having a healthy society of Rohingya Refugees.

Abstract

COVID-19 has become a global public health emergency in almost all over the world, including in Indonesia. Effective risk communication becomes an emergency response to increase awareness and determine appropriate interventions. The study aimed to assess the success of risk communication monitoring using Google Trends during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Quantitative and qualitative research uses time-series data (31 December 2019-2 May 2020). The relative search volume (RSV) of keyword „masker‟ (mask) and „cuci tangan‟ (handwashing) from Google Trends (GT) and the number of COVID-19 daily cases were collected. Analyzed qualitatively. RSV search data and daily case comparisons were performed based on Pearson correlation analysis and time lag correlation with significance <0.05. The keyword „masker‟ has four peaks and „cuci tangan‟ has three peaks with fluctuations due to the increase in mask prices, government policies, news, and official WHO recommendations. Validation using time-lag correlation shows the significant results between RSV keywords related to personal protection and the number of COVID-19 cases. The highest correlation was achieved by the keyword „masker‟ three days before the number of COVID-19 cases. Google Trends can potentially be used as a complement and support for early warning systems in the surveillance system and improve public health responses in Indonesia.
