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.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder frequently associated with long-term complications. One of the most common microvascular complications is diabetic nephropathy, a condition that significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality among patients. A reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) reflects a more advanced stage of nephropathy, and when accompanied by elevated HbA1c levels, it indicates poor glycemic control and a greater risk of diabetes-related complications. Objective: To prove the relationship between HbA1c levels and the degree of diabetic nephropathy Methods: This study is an analytical observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study consists of medical record data from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at RSI Jemursari, totaling 946 patients. The sample was obtained using the Slovin formula, with a 10% margin of error, resulting in 90 samples. Sampling was done using the nonprobability sampling method of consecutive sampling. The statistical test uses the Spearman test in SPSS. Results: The significance value was <0.001 (<0.1), and the correlation coefficient was 0.416. The results of the Spearman statistical test demonstrate a significant relationship between the two variables, with a moderate quality of the relationship between them. Conclusions: A significant relationship was found between the HbA1c level variable and the degree of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, characterized by a correlation coefficient indicating a moderate quality of relationship.

Abstract

Introduction: Burns are serious injuries that not only damage the skin but can also affect internal organs such as the liver. Severe inflammation following burn injury increases hepatocyte vulnerability, especially in diabetic conditions. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of topical kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) hydrogel on liver histopathology in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice with burn injuries. Methods: An in vivo experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was conducted using 15 male musmusculus. Diabetes mellitus was induced prior to burn injury, and hyperglycemia was confirmed before further procedures. The diabetic mice were then randomly assigned into three groups: diabetic burn injury without hydrogel treatment (K), diabetic burn injury treated with 5% kratom hydrogel (T1), and diabetic burn injury treated with 15% kratom hydrogel (T2). The respective treatments were applied for four weeks. Following the intervention period, liver tissues were collected for histopathological analysis. Hepatocyte damage was quantitatively assessed and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test. Results: The diabetic burn injury control group exhibited the greatest extent of hepatocyte damage (66.5 ± 5.0%). Application of 5% kratom hydrogel (49.5 ± 4.0%) and 15% kratom hydrogel (52.5 ± 4.0%) resulted in a statistically significant reduction in hepatocyte injury compared with the diabetic control group (p = 0.0043 and p = 0.0131, respectively). Conclusions: Topical administration of kratom hydrogel significantly attenuated hepatocyte damage in diabetic mice subjected to burn injuries, suggesting a hepatoprotective effect and potential benefits for preserving liver function under diabetic burn conditions.
