Introduction: As of 31st December 2021, there have been 4,262,540 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 144,088 death cases in Indonesia. COVID-19 pandemic has affected the nutrition aspect, as an increasing number of undernutrition children also increases risk of obesity. Our group conducts webinars with the purpose of increasing public knowledge and awareness regarding general well-being: importance of adequate nutrition to increase immunity in the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the study is to examine webinar participants' knowledge before and after webinar. Method: The webinar conducted through a zoom meeting for 2 hours consists of 1 hour education and 1 hour question and answer session. The participants asked to fill a pretest before the webinar session and posttest after the webinar session. The results were statistically examined to determine the difference between pretest and posttest score. Results: The webinar participant’s demographic characteristics were dominated by 17-45 years old age group, high school graduates, and female participants. There is a significant difference (p<0.05) between pre and post-test score evaluated using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. After the webinar, there is a decreased number of participants with low-level nutritional knowledge from 31 to 23 participants. Conclusion: There is an increase in knowledge about the importance of adequate nutrition to increase immunity in the COVID-19 pandemic from pre and post-test data. Thus, this webinar contributes to providing knowledge to participants in supporting the strengthening of socialization of adequate nutrition during COVID-19 pandemic.
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled antibiotic use causes the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, one of which is ESBL. ESBL is a resistance mechanism developed by several gram-negative bacteria which can render beta-lactam antibiotics ineffective against them. Infections caused by ESBL bacteria are on the rise in the whole world and can raise the cost of hospitalisation. Indonesia is one of countries with limited data regarding infections by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Thus, a research regarding the characteristics of Intensive Observation Room patients with ESBL producing bacterial infection is urgent to be researched. METHODS This research is a descriptive retrospective research with the whole ESBLinfected patients' data of RSUD Dr. Soetomo's Intensive Observation Room from 2019-2020 as its population. Sampling is done by total sampling for all data which fits the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The variables included in this research are patients' age, patients' sex, invasive devices installed, culture samples, bacteria species, and antibiotic resistance patterns. RESULTS Based on available data which fits the inclusion and exclusion criteria, there are 81 patients with 10 patients cultured more than once which results in 91 culture data. From the patients' characteristics, patients' ages are dominated in the 18-60 y/o group with 51 patients (63%), male sex with 47 patients (58%), and appendicitis as the dominant diagnosis with 11 patients (13,6%). Ventilators and Nutrition Tubes are the most installed invasive devices with each being installed in 67 patients (82,7%). Microbiology data shows Escherichia coli is the dominant species with positive results showing from 51 cultures. Amikacin is the antibiotic with the least resistance of all samples.
