Abstract

In Morocco, where cancer is a major public health problem, the characteristics of cancer in the Beni Mellal-Khenifra region of Morocco are unknown. Our objective was to establish the epidemiological profile of cancer in this region and the main risk factors influencing cancer. We conducted a cross-sectional study, including all types of cancer, with a sample of 100 patients at the Beni Mellal regional oncology center. Data collected in June and July 2021 using a questionnaire, pre-tested, and analyzed using SPSS and Excel. The questionnaire included sections on cancer-related clinical characteristics and other items related to cancer risk exposures. Gyneco-mammary cancers occupied the first position (49%). The most common localization of cancer in women was breast cancer, with a proportion of 63% of cases recorded during the period studied. In men, lung cancer was the most frequent location at 17%. We found some possible risk factors for cancer: tobacco and alcohol use, dietary habits, use of hormonal contraceptive methods, low income, pollution, sun radiation, exposure to asbestos, family history of cancer, and diseases associated with cancer. Women’s cancers are very common in the region. Several factors are responsible for this frequency. These results suggest several avenues for further research.

Abstract

In this cross-sectional study, we delve into the multifaceted realm of online scam victimization by investigating a diverse array of individual factors that may predispose adults to fall prey to online scams. The central objective of this research is to ascertain the strongest predictor among the following variables: loneliness and the sense of mattering and to elucidate the moderating effect of social media engagement (SME) on the relationship between these predictors and online romantic scam (ORS) susceptibility (OSS). A sample of 380 adults aged 18 to 65 years (M=33.4) participated in this study to respond to demographic questionnaires and scales of the respective variable. The results suggested that the direct effect of relationship satisfaction on ORS susceptibility is not significant without the serial mediation roles of loneliness and mattering at a high level of SME. Further implications, limitations, and suggestions are discussed.

Abstract

Diverse cultural, social, and economic backgrounds significantly influence the caregiver burden of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, affecting their quality of life (QoL) and the overall care experience. This study was done to identify spinal cord caregivers' QoL in Indonesia through their burden and the variables that influence it. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, involved 137 primary SCI caregivers. The burden of these caregivers was evaluated using the Indonesian version of the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaires. The data was analyzed with multiple linear regression and spearman analysis using SPSS version 24. The majority of SCI caregivers have a mild to moderate burden (54.7%). The burden score was significantly correlated, especially with occupational status and the length of interaction each day (p<0.001). It also found a significant with strong negative correlation (referring to the Guilford criteria) between caregiver burden and QoL (r-value −0.750; p-value <0.001). Indonesian caregivers' cultural and economic backgrounds may alleviate their burden in caregiving, but attention to patient occupational status and care duration is crucial to prevent worsening their quality of life, particularly for SCI survivors they care for.

Abstract

India carries the highest share of active and missing tuberculosis (TB) cases globally. The Government of India is prioritizing private sector engagement (PSE) in TB elimination activities, as most healthcare-seeking in the country happens in this sector. This study aimed to understand the knowledge and practices of private healthcare providers (PHP) on various aspects of TB case notification through the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP). This cross-sectional study was carried out between Oct 2020 to April 2021 amongst PHPs in the Junnar Tuberculosis Unit (TU), Pune District, Maharashtra. Junnar Block has 299 PHPs who assess, diagnose, and/or treat TB cases. A total of 97 participants were enrolled in the study. About 89 (91.8%) PHPs are aware that TB case notifications are mandatory by law. However, 80.4% are unaware of the Ni-kshay portal (web-based case surveillance system) by NTEP. Similarly, 74 (76.3%) must be aware of incentives for PHPs to collaborate with the government healthcare delivery system. 82.8% of total Ayurveda, Unani, Naturopathy, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH) practitioners and 46.2% of Allopathic practitioners have poor knowledge about TB case notification, with a Chi-square value of 14.36 (p<0.01). Our study shows that the active engagement of private providers (PPs), especially AYUSH practitioners in rural areas, is a need of the hour in achieving TB elimination.

Abstract

Integrated development post of non-communicable diseases (Posbindu penyakit tidak menular/PTM) is one of the strategies implemented by the MOH of Indonesia for prevention, screening, and early detection through community empowerment and community involvement in reducing the number of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cancer. This study aimed to explore the barriers to reducing the risk of cancer. Twelve participants were involved in this study using in-depth interviews and participant observations. All the interviews and discussions were recorded using an audio tape recorder and also using field notes, and then a transcript was transcribed verbatim. Five themes emerged namely providing funding for the program, obtaining appropriate support from the government based on the community’s needs and a health workforce shortage, sharing and discussing the health information, and cultural practices of the community as barriers to reducing the risk of cancer in the community. The study results can be used as evidence to develop and sustain effective strategies to address the barriers to reducing the risk of cancer in communities in Indonesia.

Abstract

The surveillance system is a source of information for policymaker to address the dengue outbreak. However, there was a lack of information on the effectiveness of dengue surveillance system in reporting the outbreak. This study aims to assess dengue surveillance activities in Bantul District, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, one of the districts with a high burden of dengue, to provide information on current effectiveness and need assessment for further improvement for dengue surveillance system. This qualitative study was conducted in Bantul District, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The assessment approach was based on the input-processoutput-outcome (IPOO) model. The study participants were selected based on purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews. Eight program holder surveillance were interviewed based on the interview guide. The surveillance system in Bantul Regency already utilizes electronic reporting. Reporting cases of dengue uses the system for surveillance of outbreak events (SISKLB). Analysis and interpretation are done to monitor progress in cases. The follow-up evaluation ceses is vector control to prevent the spread of the case. The incidence of dengue is still higher than the national rate. The case fatality rate (CFR) for dengue is <1%; CFR has hit its target. The larvae-free rate hasn't reached its target yet. Optimizing electronic reporting can improve the quality of information used as a reference in decision-making. SISKLB was created for timely reporting and monitoring of dengue cases. Monitoring available data laboratory can be used as a quick response to take action to prevent an increase in cases.

Abstract

Conventional systems that monitor the supply system periodically are considered to be very inadequate. This can cause the water supply distributed to the community to be of poor quality. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate water quality periodically by measuring water parameters such as pH, chlorine and turbidity for 30 days using an online system and portable unit. Portable tools used to measure pH, turbidity and residual chlorine are as follows, namely pH meters (Hanna, HI98017), Turbidity Meters (Hanna, HI 98703), Residual Chlorine meters and measurements with an online system using "Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition”. The average parameter value of the results of online daily monitoring for a month for the pH parameter was a minimum 6.92, a maximum of 7.46, a minimum turbidity of 0.08 nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU) and a maximum of 0.94 NTU. While the residual chlorine minimum of 0.29 mg/L and a maximum of 0.58 mg/L. To determine the accuracy of the offline measurements, measurements were also performed with a portable device four times a month. The comparison of the measurement results is very small, which is the difference in pH parameters is between 0.37-0.50, turbidity is between 0.05-0.21 NTU, and residual chlorine is 0.002-0.006 mg/L. Offline measurements using the portable device are consistent with the online daily monitoring. Future research should focus on optimizing sensor technology for enhanced accuracy and reliability, and developing automated data analysis algorithms to streamline evaluation processes.

Abstract

The study aimed to qualitatively examine epidemic prevention and control processes in beach tourism provinces in the upper southern region of Thailand, as well as investigate networks related to public health emergency management (PHEM) during such epidemics. The findings highlighted key elements of PHEM for emerging infectious diseases. This involved initial assessments of epidemics and health conditions, categorizing the population by risk, and performing prognosis. Subsequently, operational guidelines for prevention, disease control, and treatment were proposed and often submitted for consideration and orders to the provincial communicable disease control committee. Meetings were held to disseminate committee announcements and measures for implementation by relevant departments, enhancing operational guideline development. Successful local networks as pineapple eyes for PHEM in response to emerging infectious diseases were characterized by robust social networks and informal cooperation at village and community levels, serving as crucial mechanisms for disease control and care. Additionally, business sector networks transformed "mutual suffering" into cooperation, with entrepreneurs in the tourism industry taking the lead. They developed various websites and applications at different stages to promote and support situation management, proving to be a vital mechanism for an effective response to emerging infectious diseases.

Abstract

Studies on lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Indonesia have mostly focused on the disease determinants with limited focus on spatial-based and the determinants of implementing ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine citrate, and albendazole (IDA). This study aimed to identify the causes of program failure. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from November to December 2022 in nine urban villages with high endemic records and one sentinel village in Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia. The analysis using Quantum Geographical Information System (QGIS) and Pearson correlation. Slum settlements were linked to the presence of open sewers (p=0.000; r=0.974) and overcrowding (p=0.033; r=0.672), while the first round of IDA medication adherence correlated with knowledge of medication (p=0.054; r=-0.623) and willingness to take the medication in the second round (p=0.051, r=0.603). Adverse effects of the treatment are strongly correlated with drug boredom from taking medication (p=0.003; r=0.828) and assistance from health workers (p=0.027; r=0.791). We identified gaps in slum settlements, open sewers, overcrowding and medication adherence, including low knowledge of medication, unwillingness to take second-round medication, adverse effects, and boredom with taking medication. We recommend effective strategies by engaging health education between health workers, local leaders, and private sectors as key to ensuring elimination program.
