The limited number of scientific journals of primary care and family medicine in Indonesia encouraged the College of Indonesian Primary Care Physicians to create a journal which focuses on the primary care, family and community medical sciences, and to disseminate the information to academics, health practitioners, and the public.

Abstract

Background: Mental distress refers to common mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms, and is considered public health problem. It is reported that university students tend to have higher levels of mental distress compared to the general population, especially in medical students.Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors affecting mental distress among medical students.Methods: A cross-sectional study using a survey was conducted among preclinical medical students at UPN Veteran Jakarta in June 2020. This study used proportional stratified sampling to complete questionnaires including demographic characteristics, adverse childhood experiences (ACE), family APGAR, and self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20). Data were analyzed by using logistic regression.Results: Among 138 participants, 36.2% had at least one of ACE, 55.1% of students came from a family with dysfunction, and 36.2% experienced mental distress. In multivariate analyses, some essential factors associated with mental distress are gender (OR=12.059, 95% CI: 2.311,62.916), adverse childhood experiences (OR=3.080, 95% CI: 1.903,4.983), family function (OR=2.733, 95% CI:1.097,6.809), and family structure (OR=0.290, 95% CI: 0.085,0.984).Conclusion: Students who are female, have history of adverse childhood experience, come from family with dysfunction, or non- nuclear family structure are more likely to be screened positive for mental distress. This study recommends an urgency of counselling service availability for medical students and community awareness to build a healthy family environment.

Abstract

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are trained to provide care for a wide scope of medical conditions within their patient population. They are supposed to be the very first healthcare provider the patient should visit when having an illness. Accordingly, it is customary for PCPs to encounter many types of patient cases in their practice. In addition to common diseases, some patients may present with symptoms of a rare disease (RD).Unfortunately, PCPs often lack knowledge to promptly detect and manage the patients with such disease. A research from Ireland reveals that only a third of PCPs were able to establish a diagnosis for RD and refer the patient to the appropriate specialist1. In Spain, more than half the PCPs were deemed fair or poor in knowledge of RD2. Similar result was also obtained from an expert survey in Belgium, stating that the basic RD knowledge of most PCPs in the country is low3. It is therefore justifiable for Evans to say that many patients with RD are un- or misdiagnosed4 and thus, it may take years to finally get a correct diagnosis3. In Indonesia, there has been no published local- or nationwide research surveying the PCP’s knowledge concerning presentations of RD.

Diabetic ulcers can be prevented by properly controlling blood sugar levels and foot care practice. Primary care doctors can provide knowledge about foot care practice to the community through Whatsapp Group. Whatsapp Group as one of the social media that is easily accessible via mobile phone can be used to carry out health education to the community continuously.Objectives: Determine the impact of foot care education through Whatsapp Group on knowledge and foot care practice of diabetic patients.Methods: Quasi experimental one group pretest and posttest design was be utilized in this study. Samples were obtained by purposive sampling from diabetic patients who visited and participated in Program Penanggulangan Penyakit Kronis activity in a primary healthcare clinic in Semarang at December 2020 until January 2021. Data were analyzed using the Friedman test and post Hoc Wilcoxon test.Results: Thirty six diabetic patients met the inclusion criteria. The median, minimum, and maximum score of the foot care knowledge before education through Whatsapp Group was 10 (4-13) and the score of foot care practice was 40 (21-56). Immediately after education, the score of knowledge was 12 (9-14) and foot care practice was 49.5 (23-69). One month after education, the knowledge score was 13 (9-14) and the foot care practice score was 50 (26-73). From the Friedman test, it was obtained p value = 0.00 (<0.05) and the Wilcoxon post hoc test p value = 0.00 (<0.05) for the knowledge and foot care practice before and immediately-one month after education. The post hoc Wilcoxon test results p value = 0.24 and p value = 0.79 for the score of knowledge and foot care practice immediately and one month after education.Conclusion: Foot care education through Whatsapp Group has an impact on knowledge and foot care practice for diabetic patients.
