Abstract

Background: The increase in the dengue mortality rate in Indonesia and its risk factors which must be addressed immediately. Brebes Hospital, a hospital that is the primary referral for health centers and clinics in Brebes Regency, has a dengue mortality rate (Case Fatality Rate) of 7.88%, contributing to the first death rate in Brebes Regency. Data related to dengue deaths, such as comorbidities and hematocrit levels in dengue patients, were unavailable at the provincial and Brebes district levels, especially at Brebes Hospital. This study aims to determine the determinants of dengue death in inpatients at Brebes Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study used medical record data of dengue inpatients from September 2021 to August 2022, with as many as 138 respondents using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument is an observation sheet, including age, gender, incidence of thrombocytopenia, hypotension, hematocrit levels, hemoglobin levels, diabetes mellitus status, hypertension status, comorbidities, and LOS. The data were analyzed in univariate, bivariate with the chi-square test, and multivariate with a logistic regression test. Results: The bivariate analysis results showed that the variables of hypertension status, DM status, thrombocytopenia, hematocrit levels, and the presence of comorbid diseases were associated with dengue mortality (p<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that after controlling for other variables, the risk of comorbid diseases was significant 27.54 times (p-value <0.001; AOR= 27.54; 95% CI= 7.21-105.07), and hematocrit levels were at risk of 4.96 times increasing dengue mortality (p-value = 0.005; AOR= 4.69; 95% CI= 1.59-13.83). Conclusion: Hematocrit levels and the presence of comorbid diseases are critical determinants of dengue case mortality. The central comorbid diseases are hypertension, diabetes, and stroke. These two factors must be the primary concern of the clinicians in charge of patients in anticipation of an emergency.

Abstract

Background: Long working hours, poor working conditions, and irregular sleep patterns increase the risk of burnout in freight truck drivers. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a procedure to relax muscles. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on truck drivers. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. 60 truck drivers working in Belawan Port were given PMR video tutorials and underwent PMR therapy for two months. The researcher used the standard KAUPKK questionnaire to measure subject fatigue. The data were tested using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Results: With a z score (-5.798) greater than the z-table value (-1.645) and a p-value of 0.000, it can be concluded that there are differences in complaints of fatigue among truck drivers before and after PMR. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the fatigue of truck drivers can be reduced by PMR therapy.

Abstract

Background: This cross-sectional study examines sociodemographic characteristics and conspiracy beliefs among vaccinated and unvaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: 317 Italian-speaking participants were surveyed online, categorized by vaccination status. Sociodemographic variables were compared, and an exploratory factor analysis assessed conspiracy beliefs. Results: Of 217 vaccinated and 100 unvaccinated participants, differences in demographics and vaccine-related attitudes were observed. Vaccinated individuals sought more information online and had lower conspiracy beliefs than unvaccinated individuals. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a single factor, which was found to be significantly higher among unvaccinated participants, suggesting a correlation between vaccine hesitancy and belief in conspiracy theories. Conclusion: Addressing conspiracy beliefs may help increase vaccination rates in Italy. The study's limitations and implications for future research are discussed.

Abstract

Background: Patient meal satisfaction is an important aspect of health services that can influence the patient's health and well-being. In the hospital context, this satisfaction is not only related to the quality of the food served but also to the management of food waste. High levels of food waste can have a negative impact on the environment and hospital operational costs. This research aims to explore the influence of patient eating satisfaction on the amount of food waste from the perspective of medical informatics produced at Caruban Hospital, Madiun Regency. Methods: This research method uses a cross-sectional study design with a population of patients treated at Caruban District Hospital. The data collection technique was carried out through a questionnaire adopted from ACHFPSQ and Schiavone to measure eating satisfaction. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: These findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between the level of patient eating satisfaction and the amount of food waste produced. Patients who are satisfied with the food served tend to produce less food waste compared to those who are dissatisfied. Conclusions: The research conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between patient eating satisfaction and the amount of food waste at Caruban Regional Hospital. The overall level of patient satisfaction with the quality of food and hospital services is quite good, with a score of 3.94 ± 0.77. However, there are still complaints about the taste of 35% and the portion of the food served. Patients consume around 70.25% of the food provided, while the remaining 27.25% becomes waste. Socio-demographic factors such as age and cultural preferences also influence satisfaction, and the habit of bringing food from outside the hospital also contributes to increased waste.

Abstract

 Background: The prevalence of stunting in Semarang City is the lowest compared to other districts/cities at 10.40%. Semarang City has not used a mapping system in handling stunting cases even though mapping stunting and its risk factors with GIS can help policymakers read areas that can be used as a basis for determining stunting-related programs because each region has different characteristics. Methods: This study combined an ecological study and mapping approach with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted in 2022. The population in this study were all 16 sub-districts in Semarang City. The sampling technique in this study was total sampling.  Results: The results showed that in the mapping of correlated risk factors, the variables of the percentage of households that have access to safe sanitation,  percentage of households with shared toilet, percentage of LBW, percentage of pregnant women with parity >4, and percentage of pregnant women aged >35 years old were significantly associated with the prevalence of stunting. Conclusions: Sub-districts that can be prioritized for stunting prevention, treatment, and screening are Semarang Selatan, Semarang Utara, Semarang Tengah, Semarang Timur, and Tugu
