Abstract

Background: Out of all Hospital-Associated Infections (HAIs),Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the second most common infection that accounts for approximately 34%, and 80% are associated with indwelling catheters and hence with biofilm formation, which invites multi-drug resistant microorganisms. The present study was designed to study in-vitro biofilm forming uropathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility in a tertiary care hospital in north India. Method:The present cross-sectional study consisted of 200 urine specimens collected over one year from patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection. Following their isolation and identification, all the isolates were subjected to screening for biofilm formation by Congo Red Agar (CRA) and the Tube Adherence (TA) methods. Subsequently, the Kirby Bauer-disk diffusion method performed the antimicrobial susceptibility test. Results: Out of the total samples (n = 200), a total of 46 (23%) were positive by the CRA method, while 33 (16.5%) were positive by the TA method. Twenty-one (21%) isolates came positive by both methods. Biofilm formation was seen more commonly in females (82%). Biofilm-forming uropathogens develop significantly higher resistance to antimicrobial drugs than non-producers. Conclusion: The correlation was significant between biofilm production and multidrug resistance. Also, it was concluded that the CRA method could be employed to detect biofilm formation in resource-limited countries.

Abstract

Background: Management of Bio-Medical Waste involves a great concern. Therefore, awareness of Health-Care Workers (HCWs) becomes very important as improper management leads to injuries and the spread of infection to the staff, patients, and environment. The objective is to assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) among Health Care Professionals regarding Bio-Medical Waste Management (BMWM). Method: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among HCWs at GMC Jammu, India. Study participants were divided into III groups (Group I- 32 Doctors, group II- 48 Paramedical staff including nurses & laboratory technicians, and group III- 20 sanitary workers). Data was collected using a pre-designed questionnaire regarding BMWM and scored as good, average, and poor. Results: In our study, knowledge regarding symbols of BMWM and awareness regarding categories and segregation of BMW was good in I and II groups but averaged in group III. None in group III has attended CME regarding BMWM in the past. In contrast, this percentage was 61% in group II and 31% in group I. Regarding the capping and destroying of needles, 88% of Paramedics were doing it correctly. None of the class IV employees received the booster dose of HBV vaccination. Conclusion: Knowledge regarding BMWM was average in Group I and Group II, whereas Group III had the slightest knowledge. Attitude regarding the BMW was good in the case of groups I and II, Whereas Group III scored average. Practices were scored average in Group I, good in Group II, and poor in group III.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is still a significant disease problem globally as it is one of ten causes of death worldwide and in Indonesia. Bekasi is the second-largest city with tuberculosis patients after Bandung, with 3,355 patients in 2015. The success rate of treatment that has not reached the standard in the primary health care of Bekasi, West Java, can be related to medication adherence, age, and nutritional status. Inadequate nutritional intake in tuberculosis patients will increase the recovery time. The more days of irregularity in taking the drug increases the likelihood of the patient having a default that can lead to drug-resistant tuberculosis. This study aimed to determine the correlation between anti-tuberculosis drug adherence, age, and nutritional status with tuberculosis treatment in new tuberculosis cases in the primary health care of Bekasi. Method: This was analytic observational research with a cross-sectional design study in 311 new tuberculosis cases at 30 primary health care in Bekasi city period 2015. Data were analyzed using univariate data and then continued with the chi-square test and logistic regression test. Results: The results of the univariate analysis were found to obtain patients' compliance by 84.9% adherent, productive age (91%), and nutritional status with IMT under 18.5 kg/m2 (68.8%). Chi-square test shown there was a significant relationship between medication adherence (p-value = 0.000; OR = 5917.5; 95%CI = 525.57 – 66626.6), age (p-value = 0.003; OR = 3.81; 95%CI = 1.63 – 8.90), and nutritional status (p-value = 0.000; OR = 7.88; 95%CI = 2.38 – 26.08) with therapeutic outcome. Logistic regression analysis showed that anti-tuberculosis drug adherence (p-value = 0.000; OR = 5917.5) was the most dominant variable related to tuberculosis treatment success. Conclusion: We conclude that the success of tuberculosis treatment in the primary health care of the Bekasi period 2015 relates to anti-tuberculosis drug (medication) adherence, age, and nutritional status, while medication adherence has the most significant influence on the success of tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract

Mental health is essential to achieving a comprehensive degree of health, but it has not become a top priority in some developing countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for people to access physical and mental health services. The situation of this pandemic pushes WHO and mental health services as an integral component of the condition. Only a third of healthcare providers in the United States can receive standardized mental health care. In developing countries with low and middle incomes, 75% more people experience neurological disorders, mental disorders, and addictive substance abuse. The prevalence of patients affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is around 4-41%, and the prevalence of major depression due to the epidemic - increased by 7%. Unfortunately, of those with mental disorders, only a tiny percentage get proper treatment.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has implemented programs to reduce stunting by targeting several groups, including: pregnant and maternity mothers, toddlers, school-age children, adolescents, and young adults. The actions include interventions and efforts to increase knowledge among the related subject – mostly among women. These efforts must still have been carried out until recently. However, along with the development of the digital era, stunting prevention needs to involve technology as an innovation to predict the possibility of a toddler becoming stunted in the future when their intake is insufficient.
