Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in public fear of transmitting infection. Nurses in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak also obtained stigmatized due to discrimination received by COVID-19 sufferers. The objective of the study is to identify the dominant factor to determine the occurrence of stigma experienced by nurses when caring for COVID-19 patients. The research design was qualitative and quantitative, with a sample of 121 Primary Health Center nurses who were performed by convenience sampling. Data analysis with Multiple Linear Regression presented that overall, there was a significant correlation between knowledge in preventing COVID-19, Personal Ability and Organizational Ability to stigma from society experienced by nurses with ANOVA or F test results (229.427) with p = 0.000. Morever, there is a strong and significant relationship between knowledge, self-efficacy and organizational ability to community stigma (R Square = 0.964). The dominant factor that affects stigma as seen from the t-test is self-ability = 14,828 (p=0.001) followed by organizational ability= -8,790 (0.001) and knowledge = 5.050 (p=0.001). It was concluded that the limitations of human resources and special infrastructure for people with COVID-19 were the trigger for the occurrence of stigma. It is hoped that the maintenance of well-being among health workers is at the forefront by beginning at the policy-making level to offer enhanced support for health workers who play a critical role during large-scale disease outbreaks. The psychological implications are mostly negative and urgently need greater attention to be mitigated, potentially through the involvement of psychologists, given better awareness and education. It is expected that further researchers can explore the phenomenon of the experience of nurses who suffer from COVID-19 in dealing with the stigma that occurs to them.

Abstract

Breast milk is the best nutrient to reduce the pain in nursing mothers and death in infants. However, for nursing mothers, too little milk volume is the cause of problems occurring during the breastfeeding process. Thus, mothers who breastfeed should consume foods that can increase the breast milk volume. One food frequently consumed by mothers to increase breast milk is honey. In fact, natural honey is challenging to discover, and the price is also high which makes it as an obstacle. A more economical alternative is required, one of which is black cumin. It is easy to obtain and the price is also affordable. Black cumin also contains galactagogue to increase prolactin that influences breast milk production. The objective of this study is to identify the effect of black cumin on the volume of breast milk. The study was a randomized controlled trial involving 60 breastfeeding mothers divided into intervention groups and control groups. The intervention group was provided 15 grams of black cumin brewed with 1000C boiling water as much as 200 ml, and the control group was assigned 15 grams of pure honey brewed boiling 1000C as much as 200 ml. Intervention and control were administered on the second day to the day of completion after giving birth. They were measuring instruments which accustomed to measure breast milk pumps. Bivariate analysis employing the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests presented a significant difference between the volume of breast milk (p = 0.001) of the control and intervention groups. This study recommends the application of black cumin as a strategy to increase the volume of breast milk in nursing mothers.

Abstract

Eighty percent of maternal deaths are caused by complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Furthermore, twenty-five percent of maternal deaths is affected by postpartum hemorrhage which is estimated 100,000 deaths annually. Indonesia places at the second ranks of the highest maternal deaths country after Laos. The cause of death in Indonesia is 28% by hemorrhage.  The hemorrhage in maternity is due to anemia in pregnancy. It occurs because when the mother gives birth, there will be adequate uterine contractions so that the hemorrhage is inevitable. The objective of the study is to identify the effect of anemia in pregnancy on the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage. The type of research employed is an analytic survey with a retrospective design. The research location was at Juata Tarakan Health Center. The population in this study were all pregnant women who visited the obstetrics and gynecology polyclinic in 2020 which was obtained from secondary data, the patient's medical record book at the Juata Public Health Center with a sample of 271 on June 23 to August 31, 2021. Sampling employed a non-probability sampling technique, total sampling, and the data analysis was administered univariately, and bivariate with chi-square test. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in women giving birth in the working area of the Juata Tarakan Health Center is 12.9%. Anemia in pregnancy possesses a significant effect on the risk of postpartum hemorrhage with p value (OR=11,253, 95%CI 5,120-24,732). Meanwhile, parity, age, type of delivery did not possess significant effect on postpartum hemorrhage. Mothers with anemia in pregnancy own a higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage which was 11.253 times greater than mothers who were not anemic in pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to perform proper handling of anemia in pregnant women to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This disease attacks the respiratory tract and spreads rapidly almost throughout the world, hence, WHO has declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The presence of inflammation and bacterial co-infection in COVID-19 hospitalized patients can increase procalcitonin (PCT) levels as a biomarker of inflammation. Elevated PCT levels are also associated with disease severity. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between PCT levels and disease severity in hospitalized patients who are confirmed positive for COVID-19. This research method is analytic observational with cross sectional design. The sample is in the form of medical record data for 180 COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized at Bhayangkara Tk. I Raden Said Sukanto Hospital, Jakarta for the period July-December 2020. The relationship between PCT levels and disease severity was statistically analyzed using the Chi Square test. The results of this study were 109 (60.6%) men and 71 (39.4%) women with the highest age group being 46-59 years. The average PCT level was 10.38 ng/mL with the lowest level of 0.01 ng/mL and the highest level of 282.00 ng/mL. PCT levels <0.5 ng/mL were discovered in 111 patients (61.7%) and PCT levels 0.5 ng/mL in 69 patients (38.3%). The severity of disease in mild-moderate illness was 87 patients (48.4%), severe was 35 patients (19.4%), and critical was 58 patients (32.2%). The Chi Square test showed that there was a relationship between PCT levels and disease severity in COVID-19 patients (p = 0.000). The higher the PCT level, the higher the severity of the disease, thus, PCT can be used as an indicator to see the severity of the disease.

Abstract

Spiritual activity is used to be associated with better mental health, particularly in the face of stress. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous new regulations, including quarantine, restrictions on mobility, and physical distancing, triggered stress throughout society. The objective of the study is to explore the relationship of spiritual activities at each level of depression in Indonesia in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic (2-4 May 2020). The cross-sectional research was administered online in 34 provinces in Indonesia, involving 2189 respondents aged 15 years old and over and social media users. The researchers employed a structured questionnaire to examine demographic characteristics and coping activities and measured depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Multivariate results presented that the spiritual activities are able to decrease the risk of depression at every depression level (mild, moderate, and severe) after being controlled by gender and marital status. The values for each level, which are mild, moderate, and severe, were OR=0.332 (95% CI 0.19-0.60; p-value=0.000), OR=0.198 (95% CI 0.09-0.43; p-value=0.000), and OR=0.234 (95% CI 0.08-0.64; p-value=0.005), respectively. Good spiritual activities during an infectious disease outbreak are efficient to support some individuals in reducing the risk of depression, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

Adolescents confront boundaries in obtaining contraception counting prohibitive policies and adolescents possess failure to obtain contraceptives since of information, transportation, and monetary limitations. The objective of this study is to assign the variables which impact on the use of contraception for the first sexual intercourse among unmarried adolescents. Quantitative research employing cross sectional analysis was implemented in this study, by processing 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey (IDHS) data. Cox regression was utilized to examine the association between sociodemographic, peer and social influences, contraceptive knowledge and contraceptive use. The study populace encompassed 705 single young people; 15 to 24 years old. The study resulted that contraceptive use at the primary sexual intercourse by single young people in Indonesia was approximately 50.35%. After bivariate analysis was applied, it was revealed that there is a significant relationship between education with the contraceptive use at the first sexual intercourse among unmarried adolescents in Indonesia (p-value = 0.049). In the final model, we discovered that the level of education and contraceptive use was statistically significant, and the contraceptive use was higher in adolescents with high education than adolescents with middle and primary education (PR 1.51, 95% CI 1.09 – 2.07, p = 0.012). Therefore, this finding provides information that education is a prominent variable for understanding contraceptive use in adolescents.
