Introduction Burnout is experienced frequently by residents, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. Impacts of the pandemic on clinical workload and training program of the residents has also resulted in burnout, which may impact their clinical performance and safety. Therefore, this paper aims to assess burnout syndrome among surgical residents in Indonesia during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 120 surgical residents (from orthopedics, general surgery, and urology department) of a tertiary referral teaching hospital in Malang using web-based questionnaire. Personal data form and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) for medical personnel were used. There are 3 subscales of MBI: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal achievement (PA). Comparative and correlative analysis were performed to analyze the socio-demographic, academic, and work-related factors in relation to the subscales scores of MBI-HSS and the presence of burnout. Results Burnout were experienced by 56.67% of residents in this study. There were statistically significant association regarding burnout and marital status, residency specialty, year of residency, and working hours upon analysis of mean and classification of subscale scores of MBI with the examined factors. Conclusion This study showed that burnout is a major issue in surgical residents during COVID-19 pandemic and may be associated with certain socio-demographic, academic, and work-related factors. Further studies to identify factors contributing to burnout in residents during COVID-19 pandemic are needed. It is imperative to formulate resident-centered strategies to prevent and address burnout among residents to ensure their overall well-being during this pandemic.

Introduction & Objectives: Prone position has been the standard for PCNL in years, whereas the supine position has recently started to gain popularity. The study for surgical outcomes still vary and study for cost-effectiveness are still lacking. We aimed to compare the surgical outcomes and cost effectiveness of prone versus supine PCNL in our institution.

This project aimed to assess the Online National Board of Urology Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) feasibility in evaluating candidates simultaneously from five urology training centers in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from two online OSCE simulation trials and the Online National Board of Urology OSCE. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess examiners and candidates’ perception. The average final score of the Online OSCE was compared to previous face-to-face OSCE results. All candidates and examiners (100%) heard and saw clearly the audio-visual in both OSCE simulation trials. None of the candidates had a failing score on the mock exam from all stations. There was a statistically significant difference between the online OSCE and December 2019 face-to-face OSCE. The Online National Board Urology OSCE was feasible and comparable to face-to-face OSCE in evaluating urology candidates. It may be beneficial for the future OSCE method in the medical education system. Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) which assesses a broad range of urology candidates’ high-level clinical skills, is a more valid and reliable assessment instrument than the traditional oral examination The Online National Board of Urology OSCE method can help evaluate urology candidates, especially during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic

Objective: This study assessed the effectiveness of webinar as a medium to provide information and education in the field of non-traumatic urology emergencies. Methods: A descriptive analytic research design with cross sectional approach was conducted for all participants. The learning outcomes were assessed by comparing the pretest and the posttest. Result: A total of 775 participants were included in this study. It showed a significant improvement in average score from pre-test to post-test (p<0.000). It also showed a similar result in almost all of the topics with p<0.005, except for the topic of treatment of urinary retention with p=0.434. Conclusion: The webinar should be considered as one of the effective educational media to provide information and education on non-traumatic urology emergencies for medical personnel during COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent but anticipated potential complications. The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the AKI incidence following mannitol administration in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients worldwide. Objective: So in this study, authors will discuss the incidence of AKI related to the provision of mannitol in TBI cases so it is expected to provide a better prevention of complications. Methods: We were using meta-analysis. Studies were searched throughout Pubmed, Cochrane, JNS in December 2017. Studies that were included ranged from 2009-2018. Keywords were “renal” or “kidney” and “traumatic brain injury”. Inclusion criteria were full-text observational study or randomized control trial, subjects in study were newly diagnosed AKI after TBI, GCS < 13, with age range 15-100 years old, survived and followed at least for 30 days after discharge, and given mannitol at least 1g/kg BW/day for at least 3 days. From 648 studies, total 4 studies were eligible for this study. Statistical analysis was done by using Review Manager 5. Results: From those 4 studies, it is shown than the pooled risk ratio AKI incidence following mannitol administration in traumatic brain injury (TBI) was 1.57. The pooled risk ratio had wide heterogeneity (I 2 = 0.95 and 1, p< 0.05) so random effect model was used. Conclusion: AKI appeared more frequent in patient with TBI with mannitol administration. It still needs more multicentre and long term period researches in the future to get better understanding AKI in TBI following mannitol administration.

Background: The dominant symptoms in the patient with COVID-19 are symptoms of the respiratory organ system such as cough, rhinorrhea, dan shortness of breathing. Nonetheless, some reports found involvement of another organ system, including the gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, urinary system, such as lower urinary tract symptoms. Hematuria related to infection of COVID-19 virus on adult and kids were reported. Urinary frequency related to infection of the covid-19 virus was also reported. However, the association between covid-19 infection and lower urinary symptoms was still unknown. Objective This study aims to identify the effect of covid-19 infection on lower urinary tract symptoms manifestation on the patient with COVID-19 treated in Field Hospital. Methods: The design of this study is cross-sectional. After inclusion and exclusion criteria, the male and female patients were then asked based on question points from the International Prostate Score and latest condition related covid-19. In addition, we statistically analyzed the association and the effect between these two variables. Results: Six hundred and six COVID-19 confirmed patients were included in this study. The most frequent complaints of lower urinary tract symptoms were frequency. The severity of the covid-19 correlates with the lower urinary tracts symptoms score. Conclusion: The most common lower urinary tract symptoms are frequency, urgency, and nocturia. These lower urinary tract symptoms may increase in severity with the severity of the infection from COVID-19. The severity of COVID-19 has a significant effect on the increase in lower urinary tract symptoms.

BackgroundSince 2020, Indonesian health professionals have been affected by burnout as the physiological impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Malang has contributed to a substantial number of new daily cases and death rates in East Java, an epicenter of COVID-19 in Indonesia. However, a study about how burnout affected Malang health professionals was never conducted.ObjectivesThis research aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with burnout among health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malang, Indonesia.Materials and MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out with an online survey conducted in 5 major hospitals in Malang. We conducted a study about the prevalence rate of burnout in Malang and the association between sociodemographic factors, occupational hazards, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). The associations were presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsWe analyzed 1,077 health professionals in Malang. Our result showed that the prevalence of burnout among health professionals in Malang is 22.0%. Respondents under the age of 30 tend to experience a higher level of burnout by 3.4-fold (OR = 3.43, p-value &lt; 0.001), compared with those over the age of 40 years. Our data showed that respondents working longer than 100 h/week tend to experience burnout by 3.8-fold (OR = 3.83, p-value &lt; 0.001).ConclusionApproximately one-fifth of the health professionals in Malang suffered from burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic, and MBI-HSS subscales are strongly associated with age and work hours.
