Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia when hospitals were striving to adjust to a changing environment after a new health insurance system implementation, a government’s effort to achieve Universal Health Coverage. As a result, the pandemic forced hospitals to exploit their resources. Due to limited resources, setting accurate priorities is highly important to secure hospital operations and maintain its track towards the expected goals. This study aims to explore how deep the crisis impacts hospitals and how hospital leaders in Indonesia set their priorities in responding to the impact of this pandemic. Methods: This study used a descriptive and analytical approach. Data were collected through an online survey from hospital leaders and several documentary sources. Results: The results show that almost all hospital directors consider patient visits and hospital finance the most significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, government hospital directors emphasize different areas compared to non-government hospital directors; the former sets their priorities on the hospital’s human resources, quality of service, and operations, while the latter focuses on the impact of patient visits and hospital finance. Conclusion: Although directors of government and non-governmental hospitals have a different emphasis, their priority is the same, maintaining hospital sustainability to provide quality services to people. Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, hospital leaders’ perspective, impacts, Indonesia, priority setting Abstrak Latar belakang: Pandemi COVID-19 melanda Indonesia ketika rumah sakit berusaha menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan yang berubah setelah penerapan sistem jaminan kesehatan baru sebagai upaya pemerintah untuk mencapai Universal Health Coverage. Akibatnya, pandemi memaksa rumah sakit untuk mengeksploitasi sumber daya mereka. Sumber daya yang terbatas membuat penetapan prioritas yang akurat menjadi sangat penting untuk menjamin keberlangsungan operasional rumah sakit dan memastikan rumah sakit bergerak menuju tujuan yang diharapkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi seberapa dalam dampak krisis ini terhadap rumah sakit dan bagaimana pemimpin rumah sakit di Indonesia menetapkan prioritasnya dalam merespon dampak pandemi ini. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif dan analitik. Data dikumpulkan melalui survei online dari pimpinan rumah sakit dan beberapa sumber dokumenter. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hampir semua direktur rumah sakit menganggap kunjungan pasien dan pembiayaan rumah sakit mendapat dampak paling signifikan dari pandemi COVID-19. Namun, direktur rumah sakit pemerintah menekankan bidang yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan direktur rumah sakit non-pemerintah. Direktur rumah sakit pemerintah menetapkan prioritas mereka pada sumber daya manusia rumah sakit, kualitas layanan, dan operasi, sedangkan direktur rumah sakit non-pemerintah fokus pada dampak kunjungan pasien dan keuangan rumah sakit. Kesimpulan: Meskipun direktur rumah sakit pemerintah dan non-pemerintah memiliki penekanan yang berbeda, tetapi prioritas mereka sama yaitu menjaga keberlanjutan rumah sakit untuk memberikan pelayanan yang berkualitas kepada masyarakat. Kata kunci: pandemi COVID-19, perspektif pemimpin rumah sakit, dampak, Indonesia, penetapan prioritas.

Abstract

Background: The immunization program in Indonesia has been implemented since 1956 started to eradicate smallpox and expanded until 1980, including Measles. The timely and complete implementation of basic immunization is the main strategy to protect the population, including outbreak prevention. The purpose of this study is to determine the level immunity of Measles antibody as the outcome of completed basic immunization and its contributors in children aged 12-36 months. Methods: This study is a secondary data analysis of the Indonesia Basic Health Survey (RISKESDAS) 2013. The analysis was carried out on a serological sample of the antibody titer of children aged 12-36 months, totaling 229 samples. The sample inclusion criteria were children who had complete sociodemographics data, basic immunization records and Measles antibody titer data. Measles examination was carried out using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Results: Incomplete immunization, being a boy, and lack of cleanliness in the family room were significantly associated with lower measles antibody levels in children. Having each variable controlled, completeness of immunization (OR=1,99; p=0.018; 95% CI=1.124-3.544) and gender of boy (OR=2.0; p=0.016; 95% CI=1.137-3.515) remain as significant variables for antibody’s titer. Conclusion: The completeness of immunization has a significant association towards titer antibody of Measles in children. Immunization completeness is an actual effort to reach herd immunity in children and to prevent measles outbreak in the community. Adequate health promotion is needed to change people's behavior to believe in the safety and importance of implementing complete basic immunization for children even in pandemic conditions. Keywords: antibody titer, immunization, children aged 12-36 months, Indonesia, measles Abstrak Latar belakang: Program imunisasi di Indonesia telah dilaksanakan sejak tahun 1956 yang dimulai dengan pemberantasan cacar yang diperluas hingga tahun 1980, termasuk campak. Pelaksanaan imunisasi dasar yang tepat waktu dan lengkap merupakan strategi utama untuk perlindungan penduduk, termasuk pencegahan Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui tingkatan kekebalan antibodi Campak sebagai hasil dari kelengkapan imunisasi dasar dan faktor yang berkontribusi pada anak usia 12-36 bulan. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan analisis data sekunder Riset Kesehatan Dasar Indonesia (RISKESDAS) 2013. Analisis dilakukan pada sampel serologi titer antibodi anak usia 12-36 bulan yang berjumlah 229 sampel. Kriteria inklusi sampel adalah anak yang memiliki data sosiodemografi lengkap, catatan imunisasi dasar dan data titer antibodi Campak. Pemeriksaan campak dilakukan dengan metode Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Hasil: Imunisasi yang tidak lengkap, berjenis kelamin laki-laki, dan kurangnya kebersihan di ruang keluarga berhubungan bermakna dengan rendahnya tingkat antibodi campak pada anak. Setelah masing-masing variabel terkontrol, kelengkapan imunisasi (OR=1,99; p=0,018; 95% CI=1.124-3.544) dan jenis kelamin laki-laki (OR=2.0; p=0.016; 95% CI=1.137-3.515) merupakan variabel yang tetap berhubungan dengan titer antibodi secara signifikan. Kesimpulan: Kelengkapan imunisasi memiliki hubungan yang bermakna terhadap titer antibodi Campak pada anak. Kelengkapan imunisasi merupakan upaya nyata untuk mencapai herd immunity pada anak dan mencegah wabah campak di masyarakat. Promosi kesehatan yang memadai diperlukan untuk mengubah perilaku masyarakat agar percaya akan keamanan dan pentingnya pelaksanaan imunisasi dasar lengkap bagi anak meskipun dalam kondisi pandemi.

Abstract

Background: As the second-highest country in tuberculosis (TB) cases globally, Indonesia has experienced an increasing trend of notification rate in the last ten years; however, the 34 provinces may have different risks. This study aims to examine TB risk variation across Indonesia in 2010-2019. Methods: A descriptive analysis was conducted on TB routine data of 2010-2019 from the Ministry of Health. Cases included all types of TB patients. Total cases, incidence rate (IR), and standardized morbidity ratio (SMR) were calculated for each province and national level during the period. Distributions of IRs and SMRs were displayed on maps. Results: During 2010-2019, 3,866,447 TB cases occurred in Indonesia, and the national IR was 1,523 per 100,000 populations. The highest proportion of cases and IR were in West Java (20.6%, 314 per 100,000); while the lowest was in North Kalimantan (0.2%, 3 per 100,000). Higher risks of TB occurred in DKI Jakarta (SMR 1.9), Papua (1.7), North Sulawesi (1.7), Maluku (1.5) and West Papua (1.5) among others. The smallest SMRs were found in Bali and Yogyakarta (0.5). Conclusion: TB risk varied across Indonesia in 2010-2019, with a higher risk in DKI Jakarta and several provinces in eastern Indonesia. Given the underreporting nature of routine data, validation is required when using the finding of this study in the local-level intervention. Keywords: tuberculosis, TB, standardized morbidity ratio, spatial variation, risk Abstrak Latar belakang: Sebagai negara dengan jumlah kasus tuberkulosis (TB) terbesar kedua di dunia, Indonesia menunjukkan tren peningkatan notification rate di sepuluh tahun terakhir. Akan tetapi, risiko TB di 34 provinsi bisa saja berbeda-beda. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji variasi risiko TB di Indonesia pada tahun 2010-2019. Metode: Data rutin TB tahun 2010-2019 dari Kementerian Kesehatan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Kasus TB didefinisikan sebagai semua tipe pasien TB. Total jumlah kasus, incidence rate (IR), dan standardized morbidity ratio (SMR) dihitung untuk tiap provinsi dan tingkat nasional selama periode tersebut. Sebaran IR dan SMR diplot di atas peta. Hasil: Selama 2010-2019, terdapat 3.866.447 kasus TB dan IR nasional 1.523 per 100.000 populasi. Proporsi kasus dan IR terbesar ada di Jawa Barat (20,6%, 314 per 100.000) dan terkecil di Kalimantan Utara (0,2%, 3 per 100.000). Risiko TB lebih tinggi di antaranya terjadi di DKI Jakarta (SMR 1,9), Papua (1,7), Sulawesi Utara (1,7), Maluku (1,5) dan Papua Barat (1,5). Standardized Morbidity Ratio terendah ditemukan di Bali dan Yogyakarta (0,5). Kesimpulan: Dapat disimpulkan bahwa risiko TB beragam di seluruh Indonesia selama 2010-2019, di mana DKI Jakarta dan beberapa provinsi di timur Indonesia memiliki risiko lebih tinggi. Mengingat adanya kurang lapor dalam data rutin, validasi diperlukan jika menggunakan temuan studi ini dalam intervensi di tingkat lokal.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Multiplex real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) is a fast, sensitive and specific test to detect more than one target in single PCR reaction. In this study we developed multiplex rRT-PCR for RSV-A and RSV-B since those viruses are the most common pathogen found in respiratory tract. However, in order to gain optimal reaction for RSV-A and RSV-B detection, the optimization of primers and probes specific for RSV-A and RSV B are needed. Method: The primers and probes of multiplex rRT-PCR for RSV-A and RSV-B were selected and optimized utilizing PerlPrimer software and BLAST to analyze the secondary structures and specificity, respectively. Further testing of selected primers and probes for rRT-PCR was done using annealing temperature based on in silico analysis as mentioned above. This includes sensitivity testing with the utilization of synthesized DNA of RSV-A and RSV-B and specificity testing targeting the common viruses found in respiratory tract. Results: The primer set and probes selected for RSV-A and RSV-B detection were specific only for RSV-A and RSV-B and showed no secondary structure. Based on primer and probe criteria for rRT-PCR such as annealing temperature, no secondary structure formed, % GC content and limit of detection, the multiplex rRT-PCR test using selected primers and probes was able to detect synthesized DNA of RSV-A and RSV-B. Conclusion: Multiplex rRT-PCR that employing primer sets and probes targeted N gene of RSV-A and RSV-B in this study were able to be detect RSV-A and RSV-B in single PCR reaction. Keyword: Multiplex, real-time RT-PCR, RSV-A, RSV-B Abstrak Latar belakang: Multiplex real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) merupakan metode yang cepat, sensitif dan spesifik untuk mendeteksi lebih dari satu target pathogen dalam satu reaksi PCR. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan multiplex rRT-PCR virus RSV-A dan RSV-B yang merupakan patogen yang paling sering ditemukan di saluran pernafasan. Optimisasi dari primer dan probe dalam multiplex rRT-PCR diperlukan untuk mendapatkan reaksi yang optimal dalam deteksi virus RSV-A dan RSV-B. Metode: Primer dan probe untuk multiplex rRT-PCR RSV-A dan RSV-B dipilih dan dioptimasi menggunakan software PerlPrimer dan BLAST untuk menganalisis adanya struktur sekunder serta spesifisitas dari primer dan probe. Uji multiplex rRT-PCR dilanjutkan berdasarkan suhu annealing berdasarkan hasil analisis menggunakan PerlPrimer. Uji sensitifitas dilakukan dengan menggunakan DNA sintetis dari RSV-A dan RSV-B dan uji spesifisitas dilakukan dengan mengetes primer dan probe terhadap virus-virus lain yang umumnya ditemukan di saluran pernafasan. Hasil: Primer dan probe yang dikembangkan pada penelitian ini tidak membentuk struktur sekunder dan spesifik mengamplifikasi hanya RSV-A dan RSV-B. Berdasarkan kriteria primer dan probe untuk digunakan dalam rRT-PCR yaitu suhu annealing, tidak adanya pembentukan struktur sekunder, % GC content serta detection limit, uji multiplex rRT-PCR yang dikembangkan pada penelitian ini mampu mendeteksi DNA sintetis RSV-A dan RSV-B. Kesimpulan: Multiplex rRT-PCR dengan menggunakan primer dan probe untuk RSV-A dan RSV-B dapat mendeteksi RSV-A dan RSV-B dalam satu reaksi PCR. Kata kunci: multiplex, real-time RT-PCR, RSV-A, RSV-B

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has significantly impacted the health care system and insurance schemes. Social distancing policies during the pandemic have led to changes in utilization in health facilities, especially those related to catastrophic diseases that cost a lot of money. This study aims to analyse the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the utilization and financing of catastrophic diseases in the National Health Insurance (NHI) program. Methods: The research design is quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative study analysed secondary data obtained from the Social Security Administrator for Health and the nat. This study also has qualitative data from in-depth interviews with government and private hospital informants, health economists, and social health insurance experts. Results: COVID-19 pandemic has impacted decreasing the utilization of National Health Insurance participants to health facilities and significantly affecting the financing of catastrophic diseases. Before pandemic, the disease with the highest claim fee was ischemic heart disease, and after the pandemic, the disease with the highest claim fee was chronic kidney disease. There is also a change in the ranking diseases pattern before and during the covid-19 pandemic. Conclusion: In the future, National Health Insurance financing needs to expand the scope of the benefits of preventive and promotive services, especially the prevention of catastrophic diseases, to reduce the burden of NHI claims. Health facilities provided by National Health Insurance providers need to prepare for better management of health services after the pandemic.
