The high incidence of trauma caused by traffic accidents and other causes resulting in the high mortality of trauma. A general practitioner (GP)'s primary survey knowledge and management could minimalized the risk of the death. RS Tingkat II Dustira has an emergency department so the GPs ought to have knowledge in primary survey. This study used observational descriptive method using primary data collected from the questionnaire filled by 39 GPs in RS Tingkat II Dustira. The data was analyzed univariately. The respondents' length of work mostly were 1-10 years (26 respondents). 40% of the GPs who went through ATLS training before had a good knowledge and 72% of the GPs who didn't go through ATLS had a good knowledge. The GP's who had a good knowledge about primary survey's first component, airway, were 27% GPs, in the breathing component were 13%, the circulation component was 49%, disability component were 92%, and 87% respondents in exposure component. This is an interesting study as an addition to RS Tingkat II Dustira to refresh the knowledge for the GPs. The levels of knowledge in primary survey are better descriptively in the GPs which underwent the Non-ATLS training but with good experience because it was influenced by the length of work in the emergency department.
Humans cannot be separated from the process of remembering. The process of remembering is closely related to memory, one of which is short-term memory. A new student at the Faculty of Medicine is required to be able to manage information well. Some ways can be used to help someone improve their short-term memory, one of which is with a humorous display. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of humor in improving short-term memory in new students at the Faculty of Medicine. This study uses a quasiexperimental method, by comparing short-term memory before and after watching humorous shows using the Digit Span Test. The results of research with the forward method obtained an average of 5.37 before watching humor shows and 6.17 after watching humor shows. Also, by using the backward method, the average before watching humor shows is 5.50 and after watching humor shows is 6.50. The results of the p-value showed significant results (p <0.05). This is because these humorous displays can stimulate the amygdala to send signals in the form of positive emotional experiences that will produce endorphins. These endorphins will cause alpha waves to become dominant and frontal lobe function will be activated, so that a person will feel calm and comfortable, and it is easy to concentrate. Based on this, it can be concluded that watching humorous shows can improve short-term memory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
