Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia faces a critical situation with 8% of its COVID-19 deaths being healthcare workers (HCWs). These workers are highly susceptible to the virus due to contact with infected patients. Approximately 35.5% of HCWs treating COVID-19 patients develop symptoms within 14 days, and 7% test positive via PCR. Alarmingly, 36% of HCWs are asymptomatic, posing a significant risk of unknowingly spreading the virus. The pandemic has induced fear of death, infection, and transmitting the virus to family members among HCWs, necessitating psychological support to prevent burnout and maintain a functional healthcare system. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of online psychological assistance for HCWs at the forefront of the COVID-19 battle. Methods: One of the psychological assistance methods offered is through social media applications. This type of psychological assistance can be considered the most practical and safe method because it prevents transmission between medical personnel. Results: The increasing number of COVID-19 patients has increased fatigue and infection rates among HCWs. They face uncertainty and feelings of loneliness during the pandemic. However, social support is crucial for psychological first aid and recovery. Misconceptions about COVID-19 being a conspiracy hinder HCWs' efforts. Promoting healthy behaviors such as hygiene practices and mask usage can mitigate the severity of the virus and improve survival rates. Conclusions: In 2020, the surge in COVID-19 cases has forced HCWs to adapt. Nonetheless, conspiracy theories about COVID-19 complicate their duties. Implementing an online psychological assistance application is essential to provide HCWs with the psychological support needed to adapt more effectively to the pandemic's challenges.

Abstract

Introduction: Untreated HIV conditions can progress to AIDS, which is the terminal phase of HIV infection, making the body more susceptible to other infections called opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infections are generally not dangerous for healthy people but can be fatal if they affect people with immunosuppression, such as HIV/AIDS patients. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between HIV clinical stage and the incidence of opportunistic infections among HIV/AIDS patients at Banten Regional Hospital in 2020–2024. Methods: This study is retrospective with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling, and the sample size calculation used the two-proportion comparison formula. The research data were analyzed univariate and bivariate using SPSS 26.0 Program. The research hypothesis was tested using the Chi-square statistical test and the Mantel-Haenszel Common Odds Ratio Estimate. Results: The respondents in this study were 242 HIV/AIDS patients. The results of the analysis showed that the prevalence of HIV/AIDS at Banten Regional Hospital in 2020-2024 was 0.06%, with the highest proportion being stage I (50.83%), stage III (26.45%), stage IV (14.88%), and stage II (7.85%). The prevalence of opportunistic infections was 45.45%. Of the 110 patients identified as having opportunistic infections, 141 infections were obtained. Some patients had one type of opportunistic infection (81.82%), two types of opportunistic infections (11.82%), and ≥ three types of opportunistic infections (6.36%). The proportion of opportunistic infections based on etiology was dominated by bacterial infections (73.76%), parasitic infections (13.48%), fungal infections (6.38%), and viral infections (6.38%). The most common opportunistic infections suffered by HIV/AIDS patients at Banten Regional Hospital were tuberculosis (44,68%) and toxoplasmosis (9,93%). Conclusions: Based on bivariate analysis, there was a significant relationship between the clinical stage of HIV and the incidence of opportunistic infections among HIV/AIDS patients at Banten Regional Hospital in 2020–2024.

Abstract

Introduction: Burnout is a psychological condition characterized by chronic stress that persists over a long period as a response to ongoing stressors. Burnout can lead to decreased academic performance, increased risk of dropout, and even suicide. Peer support may enhance self-confidence, reduce social pressure, and provide emotional stability, ultimately helping reduce the risk of burnout. Objective: This study examines the relationship between peer support and burnout among medical students at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University (Untirta). Methods: The research design employed was a cross-sectional design, utilizing the simple random sampling technique for data collection. The subjects were preclinical medical students from the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 cohorts. Sampling was conducted using a simple random sampling technique. Data on peer support were collected using the Social Provision Scale (SPS), while burnout data were obtained through the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey (MBI-SS). The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. Results: The results showed that the prevalence of burnout among students was 14.6%. Based on the dimensions of burnout, the majority of students reported high levels of exhaustion (58.4%), moderate levels of cynicism (47.2%), and low efficacy (100%). Regarding peer support, 96.6% of students reported high levels of peer support. Fisher's exact test yielded a p-value of 0.381. Conclusions: This study concludes that there is no significant relationship between peer support and burnout among medical students at the University

Abstract

Introduction: Farmers in rural Indonesia face challenges in maintaining nutritional adequacy and mental health due to economic instability, crop failure risks, and fluctuating commodity prices. Limited empirical evidence exists on how these factors intersect within farming communities. Objective: This study aims to explore farmers' perceptions and experiences regarding nutrition and mental health among farmer groups in three rural districts of Indonesia. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with 36 farmers (aged 25–65 years; all  males) from Kulonprogo, Boyolali, and Bogor, selected purposively. Data were collected through focus group discussions and analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis based on Graneheim and Lundman’s framework and processed with enVivo® software. Results: The main stressors identified were economic hardship, crop failure, debt and unstable commodity prices. Food decision-making was largely determined by wives, with children’s needs prioritized. While severe food insecurity was not reported, mild to moderate food insecurity characterized by limited dietary diversity was common. Coping strategies included additional income-generating activities, utilizing homegrown produce, and borrowing from relatives or neighbors. Conclusions: Findings indicate a strong interrelation between food insecurity and mental distress among farmers. Interventions that integrate nutrition improvement and mental health support alongside economic and agricultural policy reforms are essential to enhance farmers’ well-being.
