Abstract

HIV/AIDS is one of the main challenges facing South Africa today. It is estimated that of the 39.5 millionpeople living with HIV worldwide in 2006, more than 63% were from sub-Saharan Africa. In 2005, about5.54 million people were estimated to be living with HIV in South Africa, with 18.8% of the adult population(15-49 years) and about 12% of the general population affected.1Prevention of HIV infection has to be tackled in various ways, not just to recommend condom use andcircumcision. There are several cultural and social factors associated with spread of HIV infection. Thereis a general belief that illness (HIV/AIDS) and other bad occurrences are related to witchcraft. The illnessis difficult for them to believe and to be explained. Infections like HIV cannot be explained to ordinaryrural people and therefore there is a strong belief in witchcraft. People believe that HIV/AIDS is relatedto witchcraft, and could be managed by traditional healers. Poor people are less educated and thereforemore ignorant about their illnesses. Most of young deaths where the deceased is sick from a long time werelabeled as “Isidliso” otherwise called “black poison”. Almost everybody who is suffering from HIV/AIDShas been taken to a traditional healer before been taken to medical practitioner in town. The widespread rapeand forced sexual abuse of children is a serious social and health issue. There are several motives behind thisunsocial and unhealthy epidemic, but the most dangerous is the strong belief in a myth of achieving a curefor a person’s HIV/AIDS through sexual intercourse with a virgin.

Abstract

Background: Nursing competency is an integral part of providing patients with spiritual care. The aim ofthis study was to validate the translation of the spiritual care competence (SCC) scale to the Malay languageversion.Methods: The cross-section study design applicable to the SCCS-M self-report questionnaire. Data werecollected from staff nurses at the hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. A total of 270 nurses participated inthis study. Spiritual care competence was assessed with the 27-item SCC-M. Standard forward–backwardtranslation was performed to translate the English version of the SCC into the Malay version (SCC-M). Allthe participants completed the SCC-M.Results: The initial measurement models tested (6-factor models) did not result in a good fit to the data.Subsequent investigation of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results recommended some modifications,including adding correlations between the item residuals within the same latent variable. These modificationsresulted in acceptable fit indices for the 6-factor model: root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)= .050, comparative fit index (CFI) = .900, Tucker–Lewis index (TLI) = .885, and standardized root meansquare residual (SRMR) = .065. The final measurement models comprised all 27 SCC-M items, which hadsignificant factor loadings of more than .40. The composite reliability was .696-.853 for 6-factors model.Conclusions: These results suggest that the subscales in 6-factor SCC-M model are unique, the factors donot overlap much, and each factor explains different variance than the other factors. Therefore, the translatedversion of the SCC-M was valid and reliable for assessing the level of spiritual care competence amonghospital nurses in Malaysia.

Abstract

Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) like folligon is a gonadotropin hormon derived from blood sera inpregnant mare 30 till 140 days. The repeated use of eCG treatments for the induction of ovulation is generallyfollowed can decrease in fertility. Bovine anti-eCG antibodies (Abs) as research result in UniversitasAirlangga in 2019 can solve the problem of decrease in fertility in does. The objective of this study was toevaluate the reproductive performance of subjected to a short-term protocol for estrus induction using 50mg of vaginal sponges’ progesterone. The experimental animal used in this study comprised of 30 etawaCrossbred goats, with normal estrus cycle and 3 years old of age. The etawa crossbred goat are all healthywith a body score of at least three. 30 goats divided become 3 groups Group I as (T0) 10 goats are as controlsGroups. (T0) was inserted sponge progesterone 50 mg of MPA and injected with PGF2? 7.5 mg in day 10intramuscular (im) when T0 removal of the sponge were removed on day 11. Does on day 11 as T1 going onthe removal of devices 24 h before removal inject 7.5 mg of PGF2? and 300 IU of eCG. T2 were injected inall the goats 7.5 mg of PGF2?, 300 IU of eCG at day 10 and 300 IU bovine anti eCG inject at day 11 whenremoval device on day 11. After 35 days, pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasound scanning. Short-termprotocols using either an intravaginal device was similarly effective to estrus induction 100% p >0.05, andall goats from both groups had estrus manifestation within 30 h after device removal, duration of estrus 37h and doing AI. In addition, no significant difference in pregnancy p >0.05 on 35 days.

Abstract

Background: Ex-mineworkers are sandwiched between scare resources and little hope of being re-employed.They do not have enough savings to support their families. Expenditure is at its highest when they return,as their children have grown and are in secondary or senior secondary school. Many are not re-employablebecause of poor health and some are disabled.Objective: To highlight the compensation claims of ex-mineworkers in the Mthatha region of South Africa.Method: Ex-mineworkers were examined and sent their reports to Medical Bureau of Occupational Diseases(MBOD) to claim compensation. The detailed histories of these ex-mineworkers were requested by a trainedresearch assistant at the Benefit Examination Clinic (BEC).Case Histories: Most mineworkers have indicated that the pride of being a male breadwinner is often lost,and their wives have to take over this role. Some take to drinking alcohol and run the risk of prematuredeath. Everyone is healthy at the time of recruitment, but many return diseased. Pulmonary tuberculosisovershadows underlying silicosis among mineworkers. Oesophageal carcinoma is associated with silicosisand this could be the reason for its high prevalence in this region.Conclusion: The MBOD recommended compensation in only 2.5% of cases during the last seven yearsin the Mthatha region. There is a long road ahead to get these claims paid out; meanwhile many of theclaimants will die.
