Abstract

This study aimed to explore the perspectives of care and protection of healthcare workers during the pandemic COVID-19 using a descriptive qualitative study in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach in COVID-19 National Referral Hospitals. The sample in this study is a medical team who actively engaged in delivering COVID-19 services. Purposive sampling was used to collect the sample. There were 45 respondents, with 22 men and 23 women taking part in this study. The qualitative data were analyzed using the content analysis. Three themes that emerge from the data analysis: health protection, legal protection, and incentive schemes. Health protection including calculation of the medical team's workload and lack of a systematic procedure for medical team quarantine. There was a lack of legal basis for medical practice in long-term disaster services. Dimension of incentive scheme, including incentives shift from rewards to demands, changes in incentive regulations, and discrepancy in incentive calculation. The medical team that provides services in a biological crisis, particularly for volunteers, must have a clear direction to follow legal protection and obvious health protection. By stressing protection and rewards for each level of the medical profession, it is hoped to boost motivation in actively participating and supporting the service of COVID-19 patients in critical conditions across Indonesia.

Abstract

A raw vegetable is one of the transmission factors in human food-borne infection. Contamination might start from the plantation, distribution, until at serving time in the dining table. A higher level of contamination will increase the risk of food-borne illness. The study aims to determine bacteria and parasite contamination in some raw vegetables that people usually consume in Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia. In this study, we collected raw vegetable from eight traditional markets. We chose randomly at each market five samples of vegetables that usually directly consumed, like lettuce, tomato, cabbage, basil, long bean, and cucumber. Pathogens we identified limited on bacteria and parasite like helminth and protozoan group. This study showed that 91% contaminated by E. coli, 84% by Staphylococcus aureus, and 79% contaminated by Vibrio cholerae. Besides bacteria, 36% of samples contaminated by the helminth group, and protozoa contaminated 27%. The most vegetables contaminated was lettuce, even in bacterial or parasitic contamination. This study concluded that there is contamination in raw vegetables usually directly consumed in Jember Regency. It will be a potential risk factor for food-borne illness in the future.

Abstract

The condition of the COVID-19 pandemic with uncontrolled transmission led to the government implementing the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) regulation. It was implemented to overcome the spread of COVID-19 and will also have an impact on community food security. The cross-sectional study aimed to examine socio-demographic factors and food security among communities during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. A total of 1,017 respondents partake in this rapid online survey. The result of multi logistic regression showed that who had stress or depression (Adj. OR = 2.81, 95% C.I = 2.03-3.89), poor dietary habit (Adj. OR = 1.94, 95% C.I = 1.46-2.57), and who live alone (Adj. OR = 6.53, 95% C.I = 2.99-14.25) strongly significant associated with poor food security. Who female of sex (Adj. OR = 1.47, 95% C.I = 0.04-2.07), no have working status (Adj. OR = 1.45, 95% C.I = 1.03-2.05), and not living on java island (Adj. OR = 1.35, 95% C.I = 1.02-1.83) have low associated correlation with poor food security. These findings suggested that the government should give intervention for communities that got stressed, have poor dietary habits, and those who live alone without family during pandemic COVID-19.

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has been reported in Indonesia since1968, the cases tend to increase and spread every year. In 2015-2019 almost all districts in Indonesia had dengue cases. This study aimed to determine the value of the entomological index and its relationship with the treatment of various types of containers, and spatial epidemiology. A larval survey was conducted to determine the presence of larvae in water containers. Logistic regression and spatial data analysis were performed to see the distribution and make buffer area map of Aedes spreading risk. The types of containers observed in this study were water tubs, drums, buckets, refrigerator containers, dispenser containers, and other categories. There were 221 containers found containing Aedes larvae. Container types affected the presence of larvae with adjusted ORs of 2.779 (95% CI: 1.441-5.360) on buckets, 9.812 (95% CI: 1.249-77.051) on refrigerator holders, and 0.301 ( 95% CI: 0.147-0.617) on dispenser holders, while the other variables were constant. The spatial analysis found that many houses are at risk of dengue transmission within a radius of 100m. The discovery of containers as potential breeding sites for Aedes provides a chance for an increase in dengue cases in Samarinda.

Abstract

This non-experimental correlational study aimed to investigate whether interpersonal mattering would be a better predictor of subjective wellbeing than friendship quality. 119 emerging adults drawn from the public responded to the Google Form posted on social media. Participants were asked to fill up the McGill Friendship Questionnaire-Friend’s Functions (MFQFF), Mattering to Others Questionnaire (MTOQ), and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). The study hypothesized that friendship quality would predict subjective wellbeing (H1), interpersonal mattering would predict subjective wellbeing (H2) and interpersonal mattering would be a better predictor of subjective wellbeing than friendship quality (H3). Results showed that H2 and H3 were supported but H1 was not supported. Therefore, when people increased their sense of mattering, it may be likely to increase their subjective wellbeing.

Abstract

Adolescence is a time of tremendous opportunity. However, inadequate menstrual hygiene habits are related to lower academic achievement and enrollment at school, with possible effects on longer-term socio-economic status and impaired overall quality of life. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 adolescent schoolgirls in Bangladesh between July 2019 and February 2020 with the aim of examining menstrual hygiene practices. Data indicate that the mean age of menarche in 422 adolescents was 12.71±0.97. According to the data, 47% had well, and 53% had poor hygiene practices. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, educational status of respondents’ mother at secondary level [AOR = 2.023, 95% CI: 1.159-3.532], fathers at graduate and above level [ AOR = 3.150, 95% CI: 0.883-11.238], high level of household income [AOR = 2.580, 95% CI: 1.480-4.495], and knowledge about complication of poor hygiene practice among girls [AOR = 2.286, 95% CI: 1.160-4.504] were significantly associated with the level of hygiene practices. Poor menstrual hygiene practice was found among more than half of girls. Attitude toward safe menstrual materials should initiate to improve good hygiene practices. Awareness campaigns for parents and teachers to assist their children would be a vital strategy to ensure good hygiene practices.

Abstract

Few studies have examined the mental health of people in a leadership positions. Most of the time, mental health-related policies were created for the non-leaders to cope with the perceived pressure from their leaders. Nevertheless, the mental health of organizational leaders itself might be at stake due to the leadership ‘acts’ they have to perform. This current study aims to investigate the moderating effect of social support and self-compassion on the relationship between organizational leaders’ emotional labor and their psychological well-being. A hundred and twentyone mid-level working executives in leadership positions provided data on their emotional labor, social support, self-compassion, and psychological well-being. It was predicted that social support and self-compassion will both moderate the relationship between organizational leaders’ emotional labor and their psychological well-being. The results indicated that surface acting is correlated with psychological wellbeing while deep acting is not. Social support and self-compassion do not moderate the relationship between emotional labor and psychological wellbeing. However, age is significantly correlated with psychological wellbeing, social support, and self-compassion, indicating its importance in leaders. Implications and limitations are discussed

Abstract

With the Philippines’ experience on vaccine hesitancy, the study aimed to determine the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination in the country and understand its attributes using the Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) Theory.  The cross-sectional study included 327 respondents recruited for four weeks through various social media platforms. Participants were requested to answer a self-administered online questionnaire. Majority of the respondents belong to age group 21-30 (46.2%), mostly female (65.4%), relatively healthy (86.2%), college graduate (37.6%), and currently unemployed (50.8%). While the majority have the intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19 (70.0%), only 16.8% are innovators belonging to the age group 21-30 (p value = 0.03), male (p value <0.001), and employed (p value= 0.01). Relative advantage (p value <0.001), compatibility (p value <0.001), observability (p value <0.001), and perceived risk (p value <0.001) are significantly associated with the intention for COVID-19 vaccination and adopter category. Findings prove that the attributes of DoI are predictors for the acceptability and timing of COVID-19 vaccination. Strategies that promote trust, information transparency, and better information dissemination on the benefits and safety of vaccination can motivate more Filipinos to adopt the innovation.

Abstract

Obesity during pregnancy puts the mothers at risk of significant medical conditions and is also associated with some medical problems in neonates. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of babies born to obese mothers at a tertiary hospital in Banjarmasin, Ulin General Hospital. This study was observational using secondary data of neonates born at Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin, January 2020 - October 2021. The total number of subjects included in this study was 110, divided into two groups based on the obesity status of the mother (obese and non-obese). Common maternal characteristics of the obese mothers were having higher education (43.6%), being a housewife (67.3%), being diagnosed with severe preeclampsia (58.2%), and having infection risk (54.5%). Of the babies, 100% were delivered by C-section, 21.8% were premature, 12.7% had excessive birth weight, and 54.5% were requiring treatment before being discharged. For the outcomes, the average length of stay was 4.5±3.6 days (p<0.05) and the need for NICU admission was 20% (p>0.05). The most compelling characteristics and outcomes of babies born to obese mothers in this study were delivered by C-section, had excessive birth weight, unwell babies, and had a longer hospital stay.
