Abstract

Indonesia’s high Disaster Risk Index (DRI) encourages the government to pay extra attention to disaster management efforts. MISP must be available in health crises because the need for reproductive health services remains and increases during the disaster response period because 4% of the affected people are pregnant women, and 75% are women, adolescent girls, and children. Integrating MISP into the Sister Village program is very important as an effort to reduce the impact of disasters on reproductive health due to the disruption of health services. This research was carried out in 2022 to explore opportunities and obstacles to integrating MISP in the sibling village program. The research uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Data collection used Focus Group Discussion techniques with 10 informants who were stakeholders related to the research topic. The research results show that in the integration of MISP and the Sister Village program, the role of each stakeholder is very important to achieve program objectives. Cooperation and coordination between stakeholders is the key to success. The integration of MISP in the Sister Village program can increase community participation in reproductive health services, strengthen the relationship between the health sector and the development sector, and improve public awareness of the importance of reproductive health. Limited accessibility and infrastructure in remote villages, stigma and cultural problems in village communities, lack of support and attention from the government and related parties, as well as security and conflict problems in several areas are obstacles to the integration of this program.

Abstract

One indicator of a nurse’s performance evaluation regarding implementing patient safety programs in hospitals is the risk of a patient falling. An audit of fall risk prevention at Siloam Hospitals in Surabaya was used to evaluate nurses’ performance in preventing patient falls. The impact of personality and situation awareness characteristics on the nurse’s output performance in preventing fall risk was examined. A cross-sectional research design was used in the observational analytic research method. Forty-five nurses made up the total sample. The EPPS and SEAFAP questionnaire were the instruments used in the data analysis, which applied the linear regression test. The following personal characteristics have a p-value of 0.05 or less: Order (p-value 0.016), Autonomy (p-value 0.019), Affiliate (p-value 0.012), Succorance (p-value 0.012), and Nurturance (p-value 0.009). With a p-value of 0.040, situation awareness impacts output performance. Both overall personality and situation awareness have a p-value of 0.006 and influence output performance, respectively. Situation awareness and personality-based needs have an impact on output performance. To provide specific solutions to improve the probability of patients falling, the recommendations for enhancing the fall risk prevention programs can be carried out through discussion and interviews.

Abstract

Posisi pronasi yang tepat terbukti dapat meningkatkan saturasi oksigen pada pasien dengan gangguan pernafasan, namun demikian masih muncul banyak kebingungan dikarenakan pengaturan posisi pronasi hanya dianjurkan dengan menggunakan penyangga bantal di beberapa titik tubuh pasien. Perbedaan ukuran bantal sangat dimungkinkan terjadi pada setiap pengaturan posisi di tempat yang berbeda, sehingga diperlukan alat pengatur posisi pronasi yang sudah presisi, aman, nyaman dan dapat langsung digunakan oleh pasien dengan keluhan sesak nafas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membuat dan mengembangkan prototipe “marning” (matras proning)  untuk mempermudah melakukan posisi pronasi  dalam upaya  meningkatkan saturasi Oksigen pada pasien dengan  keluhan sesak nafas.  Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan membuat Matras proning yang  didesain dengan mempertimbangkan bentuk anatomi dan ergonomi tubuh, sehingga sudah sangat presisi dalam meningkatkan saturasi oksigen. Uji presisi dan ergonomi tubuh untuk pembuatan dan penentuan ukuran  matras  dilakukan melalui  pengukuran terhadap 20 responden  dengan berbagai macam postur baik laki laki maupun perempuan. Pengukuran dilakukan  di laboratorium klinik fisioterapi. Setelah itu hasil prototipe matras diuji efektifitasnya pada pasien sesak nafas untuk melihat peningkatan saturasi oksigen sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan matras proning. Uji efektifitas dilakukan di Poli Infeksi Puskesmas pathuk 1 Gunungkidul Yogyakarta sebagai mitra pada penelitian ini.  Model teknologi ini sudah berhasil dibuat prototipenya dan telah diujicobakan pada 8 responden dengan keluhan sesak nafas, hasilnya terjadi peningkatan saturasi oksigen pada 80% pasien dengan keluhan sesak nafas  (saturasi dibawah 95%). Matras ini didesain untuk menggantikan penggunaan bantal pada pengaturan posisi proning yang umum. Desain marning yang mempertimbangkan bentuk anatomi dan ergonomi tubuh menghasilkan ukuran yang presisi sehingga mencegah bantal bergeser. Inovasi ini memungkinkan pasien melakukan posisi proning yang tepat, nyaman dan juga sangat efektif dan efisien karena dapat langsung digunakan secara mandiri, namun demikian alat yang dikembangkan perlu penyempurnaan pada riset berikutnya, untuk mendapatkan alat yang lebih ringan sehingga mudah untuk dipindahkan dan dibawa kemana saja.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is still a common oral disease all over the world. The yearly report from the Wonosobo District Health Office revealed that 17,807 out of 780,667 people had dental problems, with 5,422 of them having periodontal disease. This number was higher compared to the national number in Central Java Province. The aim of the study was to identify periodontal disease risk factors. Cross-sectional study was conducted using subjects aged 20-50 years old and resided in Wonosobo District. Data were analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression. A total of 440 subjects were included in the study. Independent variables consisted of demographic and oral condition namely sex, age group, education level, economic status, smoking, salivary flow rate, plaque accumulation, crowded tooth, and oral hygiene. The result of the study indicated that higher education level (OR 2.09; 95% CI 1.266-3.463) and lower plaque accumulation (OR 3.61; 95% CI 2.310-5.640) were found to be significant risk factors, whereas uncrowded teeth (OR 0.54; 95% CI 0.342-0.852) and good oral hygiene (OR 0.07; 95% CI 0.036-0.152) and fair oral hygiene (OR 0.28; 95% CI 0.142-0.572) were found to be significant protective factor for the occurrence of periodontal disease among adults in Wonosobo District.

Abstract

The effectiveness of tuberculosis (TB) management and control programs is influenced by several factors, including sociocultural problems that affect delays in diagnosis and treatment and increased transmission risk in the community. How people viewed diseases and seeking behavior was socially constructed. The scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of evidence about the sociocultural implications of TB management and control programs. To address the research questions, a scoping review was conducted following PRISMA ScR as a guideline. Articles were searched in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. Searches were conducted in October 2022. The CASP checklist was used to measure the article's quality before being reviewed. A total of 15 articles were included, nine (9) studies conducted in Africa, two (2) studies in Papua New Guinea, one (1) study in India, one (1) study in Brazil, one (1) study in Yemen, and one (1) study in Nepal. Most studies were based on individual interviews (7), and three (3) studies included traditional/faith healer perspectives. Three main themes have been identified; sociocultural factors affected TB prevention, sociocultural factors affected TB-seeking behavior, and sociocultural factors affected treatment adherence. The review discovered that community practices, norms, and attitudes regarding perceived sickness impact TB care and control. To be effective and meaningful for the target population, the intervention must be attentive to cultural differences.

Abstract

Economic evaluation of rare diseases and orphan drugs has gained prominence among scientists, managers, and the general public. This challenging problem requires evaluation and analysis from a variety of perspectives. Economic assessment of technologies can support decision-making and resource allocation. The research objective describes and discusses several important issues when addressing economic evaluation in rare diseases and orphan drugs. The method used in this article review is to search the Pubmed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases using specific keywords for research articles published in English between 2016 and 2021. We found 537 studies that economically evaluated the cost of treating rare diseases. The selected studies met the eligibility criteria that had been established. To assess the quality of the selected papers, we used a 10-point checklist derived from Drummond's criteria for economic evaluation. Seven papers were reviewed from the initial 20 articles that met the eligibility criteria, and 537 records were initially found across the three databases. The quality of the selected papers ranged from 70% to 100% in meeting Drummond's 10-point checklist. The conclusion of this research is to consistently and continuously identify cost-effective and cost-saving solutions that may help achieve good clinical outcomes and reduce the burden of disease. Future research should focus on the clinical implementation of interventions along with accompanying economic evaluations.

Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia still exceeds WHO recommended standards. Stunting increases the risk of inhibition of brain growth. Head circumference is one of the parameters of brain growth. The study aimed to prove the mean head circumference growth difference between the stunted and non-stunted groups in the first 3 years of life. Another goal was to prove the relationship between zinc intake and zinc levels in toddlers on head circumference. The cohort study involved 50 subjects who were observed from birth to the age of 3 years and were born at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital and Bangetayu Health Center Semarang City. The mean head circumference growth in the stunting group was lower than in the non-stunting group (4.1 v.s 4.6), p=0.043. The mean head circumference of stunted toddlers was smaller than that of non-stunted toddlers (44.9 vs. 47.2 ), p=0.000. There was no relationship between daily zinc intake and zinc levels of toddlers with stunting, p0.05. The growth of the head circumference of stunted toddlers was lower than in the non-stunted group, as well as the head circumference was smaller than in the non-stunted group.
