<p>Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection has been a major public health-related issue worldwide, including Indonesia. The COVID-19 cases still escalating until this study finished in June 2020 due to the disease positively spreading from person to person. To reduce the spreading of the disease, investigating Indonesian’s knowledge, attitudes, and practice on COVID prevention and mitigation during the outbreak period was crucial. A survey cross-sectional was conducted and using social networking apps to recruit participants. All Indonesian residents who have 18 years old and over and living in Indonesia during the COVID-19 outbreak were voluntarily invited to participate in this study. There are 3464 participants involved in this study. The mean age was 27.63 years, and mostly were women, domicile in Java, held bachelor degrees, students, Muslims, and single/never married. The lowest mean practices score was found among residents who live in Maluku, Papua, and Papua Barat, senior high qualification, unemployed, indigenous religions, and single/never married. The majority of Indonesian residents have good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practice to promote COVID-19 prevention and mitigation to reduce the pandemic spreading within the country. However, there is a lack of knowledge, attitudes, and practice among a particular group of participants.</p>
In Indonesia, the association between fatigue and predictors of fatigue has nearly never been studied, particularly in adult cancer patients. This research is part of a larger research project to predict the prevalence of fatigue in adult people with cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between fatigue, respondent characteristics, and the performance scale among adult cancer patients in one-day care units. This study is a quantitative correlation investigation using a cross-sectional design with correlation and t-tests. Sixty-seven participants were selected from the medical records of adult cancer patients who met the criteria. Research findings indicated that there was no correlation between age, gender, type of cancer, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) Performance Scale, and body mass index on the incidence of fatigue in adult cancer patients (Pvalue = 0.684; 0.977; 0.38; 0.224; 0.284), although there was a significant correlation between a previous fatigue and the occurrence of recent fatigue (Pvalue = 0.000). This study may be utilized as a basis for future studies on adult cancer patients experiencing fatigue in hospital settings. Keywords: Cancer patients, Demographics, ECOG performance scale, Fatigue
Background: Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic throughout the world including in Indonesia, especially on the island of Java, with the number of cases always increasing, both confirmed cases and death cases. Objective: To find out the knowledge and attitudes of the people of Java Island related to sociodemographic (age, sex, education, and employment status) in efforts to control Covid-19. Methods: Cross-sectional design with a sample of 1,579 selected by simple random sampling. Collecting data using a questionnaire assisted by the google form program then the data is analyzed by using the chi-square test. Results: Of the 1,579 respondents who participated, namely the youth category by 57%, female gender by 76%, undergraduate education by 47.1%, and the work status of the student category by 41%. A total of 1008 respondents (64%) have good knowledge and 1251 respondents (79%) have a positive attitude. The results of the chi-square test on the knowledge variable showed that there was a relationship between age (p = 0.023) and education (p = 0.021), while gender (p = 0.359) and work status (p = 0.308) had no relationship. In the attitude variable, the results of the chi-square test showed that the p-value between age (p = 0.927), gender (p = 0.072), education (p = 0.140) and work status (p = 0.119) had no relationship, but the knowledge and attitude turns out that there is a value of p = 0.000 <0.05 with a confidence interval of 95%. These results indicate a relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards efforts to control COVID-19. Conclusion: The majority of people on the island of Java are knowledgeable and have a positive attitude in efforts to control COVID-19.
Latar Belakang : Populasi lansia di Indonesia semakin meningkat dan beberapa provinsi telah memasuki struktur aging population. Kecemasan merupakan masalah kesehatan mental yang sering terjadi pada lansia dan dapat berdampak pada kesehatan fisik dan psikologis. Metode pengobatan non-farmakologi, seperti aromaterapi, dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk mengurangi tingkat kecemasan pada lansia. Meskipun telah banyak penelitian tentang aromaterapi, namun metode dengan inhalasi aromaterapi masih kurang sehingga peneliti tertarik melakukan studi kasus. Tujuan untuk mengetahui efek pemberian aromaterapi pada lansia yang mengalami kecemasan. Metode: Sample dalam studi kasus berdasarkan hasil screening menggunakan vas-A dan dipilih berdasarkan kriteria inklusi yaitu usia >60 tahun. Jumlah sample yang memenuhi kriteria sebanyak 5 lansia. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan catatan dari partisipan yang terlibat dalam studi kasus. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi pola, tema dan hubungan antar variabel. Dalam penelitian ini, data dianalisis untuk mengetahui efektivitas penggunaan aroma terapi dalam mengatasi kecemasan pada lansia. Hasil : studi kasus ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberian aromaterapi secara inhalasi efektif dalam mengurangi tingkat kecemasan pada lansia. Setelah 3 hari intervensi, terjadi penurunan tingkat kecemasan pada kelima partisipan yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa aromaterapi bisa menjadi alternatif pengobatan non-farmakologi yang efektif untuk mengurangi kecemasan pada lansia. Terlebih lagi, metode ini dapat diterapkan dengan mudah dan relatif murah, serta memiliki efek samping yang minim dibandingkan dengan obat-obatan farmakologi. Kesimpulan aromaterapi dapat dijadikan sebagai pilihan pengobatan yang efektif dalam mengurangi tingkat kecemasan pada lansia. Namun, penelitian yang lebih besar dengan sampel yang lebih besar dan kontrol yang ketat diperlukan untuk memvalidasi temuan ini.

ABSTRACTIntroduction. Wound cleansing for diabetic wound care always used 0.9% of NaCl or other commercial solutions. Currently, the use of guavas leaves extract (Psidium guajava L) as an alternative wound cleansing solution has been started to be introduced as a part of complementary nursing. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of commercially wound cleansing solution of 0.9% NaCl and guavas leaves extract in wound healing process of diabetes mellitus patients. Methods. This study used six respondents as a sample, by using quasi experiment methods of 4 times wound cleansing. In this experiment, the control group used NaCl 0.9% while a group of sample used guavas leaves extract as wound cleansing solutions. Result. The experimental result revealed that there was a significant result between types of wound cleansing solution effectiveness in NaCl 0.9% with an extract guavas leaves for some wound characteristics (Presentation of wound slough P value: 0.043; presentation of wound granulation P value: 0.037 (α=0.05)). However, There were no significant result of effectiveness comparison between wound cleansing solution (NaCl 0.9% and Guavas Leaves Extract) for wound dimension and epithelial tissue characteristics (Wound wide P value: 0.184; wound long P value: 0.361; epithelial tissue presentation P value: 0.072 (α=0.05). Discussion. These results confirmed that guava leaves extract can serve as an alternative wound cleansing solution as commercial wound cleansing solution such as 0.9% NaCl.
