Abstract

The world is still facing the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and the current challenge is the epidemic, which was thought to have become endemic, but it seems far from that. This article describe the recent progress of the COVID-19 globally, including in Indonesia, and what should be done towards building community health resilience. Each day, more than 500,000 new cases are being detected worldwide. This condition shows that the present pandemic is not over and still requires global vigilance. The challenge faced by the world, and Indonesia, is to develop resilient communities as a prerequisite to controlling any future epidemic. This can be achieved by adopting five strategies: strengthen and promote access to public health and social services, promote health and wellness and disaster preparedness, expand communication and collaboration, engage at-risk individuals and activate programs to protect their health, and build social connectedness.

Abstract

The Indonesian Government has launched PeduliLindungi (PL) mobile apps as a COVID-19 preventive tool. This study aimed to describe the PL utilization and determine the factors influencing its successful use among college students. This study used a cross-sectional design and a total population sampling at a university in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, Indonesia. The Delone and Mclean Information System Success Model was adopted to measure the use of the apps. The Spearman’s rank correlation test was performed to determine the relationship between two variables. Furthermore, 354 respondents participated in this study. The respondents used the apps mostly to display the vaccination certificate and check in/out from public facilities. The overall user satisfaction value towards the application was 3.83+0.76. The system quality (r = 0.621, p-value<0.001) and information quality (r = 0.626, p-value<0.001) were associated with the user satisfaction while the user satisfaction (r = 0.471, p-value<0.001), was correlated to the perceived benefit. In brief, perceived benefit was positively correlated with the user’s satisfaction, whereas user satisfaction was positively correlated with self-efficacy, system quality, and information quality.

Abstract

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bogor City Government regulated to cover the health financing claim during the Indonesian National Health Insurance (NHI) integration period due to the lower amount of health care claim per episode in regional hospitals compared to ones that NHI paid. This study aimed to address post-COVID-19 health financing at two hospitals in Bogor City, West Java Province, Indonesia. Descriptive analysis using the aggregate statistical summaries was taken to explore the medical care episodes of the data series at two hospitals for the last two years. Of the 890 checked medical records data, the deficit occurred in 197 (22.1%) medical care episodes, while five (0.6%) exceeded the hospitals' tariffs. The remaining 688 (77.3%) medical care episodes had suits with the Indonesian-Case Based Groups. Almost a quarter of medical care episodes in aggregate experienced a deficit in the two years before the pandemic. This study is the first to provide new insight into the discussion on medical care financing in a developing country's post-pandemic era in a newly implemented NHI system.

Abstract

The rapidly growing global Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis affects the labor-intensive mining industry. The industry is characterized by high worker mobility and 24-hour operations; thus, this continuous, mobile workforce increases the transmission risk of COVID-19 and has been a challenge for the mining industry during the pandemic. PT X, one of the largest mineral mining locations in Mimika District, Central Papua Province, Indonesia, was challenged to face the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to analyze the COVID-19 handling efforts by PT X Concentrating Division using a descriptive-analytical method to describe the completion of PT X. The assessment aimed to examine nine critical factors formulated by the International Labour Organization and evaluated as practical steps to prevent and mitigate the virus spread in the division. Furthermore, an analysis was conducted on data related to COVID-19 handling. The results showed that the nine critical factors had an average value of 89.41%. These results indicated that the pandemic handling efforts in the division had been implemented well.

Abstract

Vaccination is one of main steps to overcome the continuous increase in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, its implementation is hindered by various responses such as acceptance and refusal. This study aimed to describe the perception of the COVID-19 vaccine in Indonesia. A systematic review design was used, and the literature searches were carried out using Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and WHO COVID-19 databases following the PRISMA guideline process. The keywords used were coronavirus, COVID-19, vaccination, COVID-19 vaccination, vaccine response, vaccine acceptance, vaccine perception, and Indonesia in English or Indonesian articles published in 2020-2021. This study discovered 13 sample articles including six qualitative and seven cross-sectional studies. The responses showed varying results divided into positive, indicating vaccine acceptance, and negative responses that made hesitations to refusal. People with a good response and perception considered the vaccine an antibody to fight the virus. Meanwhile, others who hesitated or rejected were due to their concerns about side effects, safety, and effectiveness. Furthermore, inaccurate information or hoaxes circulating in the community significantly influence people's perceptions.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant issue in women of all ages, but they are especially common during pregnancy. Co-infection of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with UTIs in pregnant females is a hot topic today, as it may be linked to various conditions. Furthermore, understanding the types of bacteria that cause UTIs and related antimicrobial resistance may aid the clinician in selecting the appropriate empirical treatment. This study aimed to isolate and characterize causative agents of UTIs and determine antimicrobial treatment sensitivity patterns among pregnant women diagnosed with the COVID-19 admitted to Teaching Hospital X in Iraq. Antimicrobial drug resistance testing was performed on 42 mid-stream urine samples that had been prepared for culture. Escherichia coli (18/42.85%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (9/21.45%), Streptococcus galactica (7/16.66%), and Proteus mirabilis (4/9.52%) were the bacteria isolated and diagnosed from pregnant women. The infections Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were the least common (2/4.7). In conclusion, the isolated uro-pathogens showed high resistance to Gentamicin, Cefuroxime, Ceftriaxone and sensitive to Ampicillin and Nitrofurantoin. The common cause of UTIs among pregnant women infected with the COVID-19 was discovered to be Escherichia coli. Before recommending therapy, culture and sensitivity testing of isolates from urine tests should be conducted on a regular basis.

Abstract

Intense stress resulting from major life events can affect women's menstrual cycle. The current Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, impacting various sectors, is considered a major form of stress. During May-November 2020, some women in Iraq have experienced menstrual disruptions, which can happen whether they get infected with the COVID-19 or simply deals with pandemic-induced stress. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic-induced stress on menstrual cycle regularity of reproductive-age women. This study used an observational cross-sectional design conducted in Iraq from May to November 2020. A sample of 500 reproductive-age women filled out an online questionnaire about their menstrual records and psychological stress levels using a Perceived Stress Scale-10 for three months during the pandemic. A comparison between menstrual cycle irregularity and stress levels before and during the pandemic was done with a p-value of <0.05 and statistically significant. It was found that 47.72% of women had irregular menstrual cycles and high perceived stress scales during the pandemic compared to 20.94% with irregular cycles and high-stress levels before the pandemic. In brief, the high-stress level induced by the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with the irregular menstrual cycle in the sampled reproductive-age women.

Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new human-infected coronavirus causing respiratory problems. The COVID-19 can affect people of all ages, but those with a record of chronic disease (comorbidity) are at higher risk of poor outcomes with the COVID-19. This study aimed to review COVID-19 preventative behavior in diabetes patients. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the comorbidities that aggravates COVID-19 in patients. Such patients are at risk of deteriorating critical conditions in the intensive care units (ICUs) and even death. Prevention is the best measure to avoid COVID-19, although it is currently considered adequate. This article reviewed 22 papers focusing on COVID-19, DM, COVID-19 in DM patients, COVID-19 preventive behavior, and COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, and practice in patients with chronic disease, while primary focusing on DM. It is revealed that diabetes patients at high risk of COVID-19 need to practice good preventive behaviors. Furthermore, it emphasizes that improving knowledge, encouraging positive attitudes, and implementing good COVID-19 preventive behaviors in DM patients requires education and access to the COVID-19 related health information.

Abstract

As a result of their children's cancer, parents are at risk of experiencing psychological distress. Parental stress will affect their roles in providing emotional support for their children. This systematic review aimed to identify the psychological distress of parents having children with cancer. EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, and Research Gate were applied to conduct electronic searches. The terms "parents," "children," "cancer," and "psychological distress" were combined using the Boolean expressions "OR" and "AND." The inclusion criteria were non-experimental studies published in English within the last 10 years (2010- 2020). Risk of bias assessment was conducted for each included study using the Joanna Bridge Institute critical appraisal tools to build transparency of findings. A total of 12 articles were included in the study to determine the prevalence of psychological distress among parents and the symptoms and factors that influence it. The high category of parental distress reached 17.6%, while the very high category reached 5.8%. Thus, it needed more concern. Suicidal ideation, insomnia, and poor health were all connected to psychological distress, with the age of children and parents, the number of children, occupation, education level, depressive history, and time of diagnosis all being predictive factors

Abstract

Diabetes cases continue to increase and burden the nursing system worldwide. Diabetes Self-Management application software (DSM apps) can enable patients to manage their disease independently while simultaneously reducing the burden of the system. These apps are already available, yet global patients’ interests in using them are still low. This study aimed to describe the global tendencies of diabetes apps usage as an effort to manage diabetes cases by exploring the perceptions of diabetes patients on the use of DSM apps. This study summarized journal searches from the Elsevier, Wiley, BMC, and JMIR database with the search terms “web-based and mobile technology,” “digital health intervention,” “diabetes management mobile application,” “mobile health for diabetes self-management,” “tablet-based self-management,” and “diabetes self-management qualitative.” A total of nine journals published between January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The study concludes diabetic patients in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and America stated that the DSM apps used was helpful in managing diabetes. Other demographic factors such as age, level of education, and economic status have influenced the perception and tendency to use the DSM apps.
