Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate educational interventions to improve patient knowledge, and adherence to glaucoma treatment that results in a reduction in intraocular pressure based on current clinical evidence. Methods: A systematic review of PubMed (NIH) was conducted to identify studies evaluating educational interventions to improve patient knowledge, and adherence to glaucoma treatment that resulted in decreased intraocular pressure. The search was conducted from March to August 2020. Results: The educational intervention was successful in increasing the skill of using eye drops for one month from 6% to 35%, and 64% after six months of education. The percentage of patients who successfully implanted the eye drops correctly increased from 66.7% to 82.2%. The educational intervention was successful in increasing adherence to treatment followed by MEMS from 67% -98% to 78% -86%. The adherence monitored with the pharmacy database resulted in a PDC of 57%, and the medication possession ratio (MPR) of 71% because many data were not recorded in the pharmacy. African American patients had significantly low adherence (OR = 0.29 95% CI = 0.16, 0.52). The educational intervention has no significant effect on the IOP value. Patients with low adherence tend to have low VFQ-25 (visual acuity) scores. After education, 99% of the patients were satisfied with the health program implemented. Conclusion: All educational interventions were successful in increasing patient knowledge, medication adherence, and eye care medical visits. Educational interventions did not significantly affect IOP values. Patients who are not adherent tend to have low visual acuity.

Abstract

Introduction: Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) consumption has increased to higher levels across all corners of the world.  High sugar diets in the form of SSBs lead to increased calorie intake with almost no nutritive value when compared to solid food and contributes to the increased energy intake resulting in an unhealthy weight gain, often associated with health issues such as obesity, diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, early tooth decay and formation of cavities. It is also observed that consumption of SSBs is linked to unhealthy habits like smoking, decreased physical activity, increased intake of fast food and increased screen time. Method: The required information on SSB tax implementation at the global level was retrieved from the literature reviews. Result: Taking such detrimental effects of SSBs into consideration, many countries are putting efforts to tackle the problem of higher consumption of SSBs by adopting measures such as taxations on SSBs. However, it is also extremely important to understand how these taxes help in generating higher revenues to the government which, in turn, can be used for various community needs in the respective countries. Conclusion: The same revenue can also be utilised for implementation of comprehensive healthcare programmes especially in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), by providing preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative services as a way to progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC).

Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected people's quality of life. Unfortunately, the epidemic continues in various variants and it remains unclear how long it will continue. Children staying at home in the COVID-19 quarantine spent hours in front of the screen with online education. In addition, since they could not go out, they spent their free time in front of the screen using social media, playing computer games or watching movies. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of low-level electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that children are exposed to at home during the COVID-19 quarantine. Method: The research method is literature review. Results: Studies have shown that, during the quarantine period, children's use of telecommunication devices such as televisions, tablets, smartphones and computers greatly increases. It was determined that the range of radio frequency (RF), Wi-Fi, power lines, visible light and Bluetooth increased in the home environment. The electric and magnetic fields emitted from these devices contain EMR and can seriously harm the health of children, who are structurally more sensitive than adults. Conclusion: There are growing concerns that children staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic will face health hazards in the future as they are more exposed to EMR.

Abstract

Introduction: Meeting the demands of reproductive health among women poses persistent issues, particularly for impoverished and rural women who face impediments to healthcare services. The goal of this study was to explore the factors that influence contraceptive use among poor women in Indonesian rural areas. Methods: This study is a further analysis of Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2017. The respondents were 10,199 poor women who lived in rural areas in Indonesia. This quantitative study is analyzed by using logistic regression adjusted for complex sample. Results: The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among respondents was 63.1% consisting of 4.4% traditional users and 58.7% modern contraceptive users. The occupation of the husband and the wish to have no more children were both linked to the usage of contraceptive methods among impoverished women in rural areas. Young women (aged 15-34) with a high parity (three and more), who had secondary education or less, who went to the health facilities, and who lived in Java-Bali were more likely to utilize contraceptive methods. Conclusion: Despite the numerous hurdles to reproductive healthcare, it is critical to focus on methods to improve contraceptive use among poor women in rural areas.
