The COVID-19 pandemic has prevented close engagement with students to avoid the spread of the virus. Hence, the transition from the traditional classroom methods to fully online teaching mode is essential. Academicians need to be equipped with the necessary devices and technical skills to conduct live video meetings (synchronous) and create recorded video (asynchronous). In this study, we have conducted a survey to assess the readiness of the academicians at the Center for Foundation Studies in Science, University of Malaya to teach online. 88 academicians participated in this study which consists of 68 local staff and 20 Japanese staff. The survey was conducted using Google Form, which focused on three main aspects of readiness. They were hardware readiness, software readiness and behavior (which include experiences, opinions, and expectation on online teaching). The results show that necessary equipment to conduct video meetings for lectures and tutorials such as webcam, microphone and should be provided. Continuous training should be provided to increase academicians’ competencies in using the applications used. We hope that this research will provide some insights on the current condition that our academicians are having, what is the problem that they are facing and to plan ahead.
Kualitas hidup merupakan acuan penilaian outcome pasien diabetes mellitus tipe 2 (DMT2). Kualitas hidup pasien DMT2 dapat semakin menurun akibat komplikasi yang menyertainya. Aspek penting dalam pertimbangan intervensi peningkatan kualitas hidup adalah persepsi tentang penyakit. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menguji pengaruh persepsi tentang penyakit terhadap kualitas hidup pasien DMT2 dengan komplikasi. Studi potong lintang terhadap populasi terjangkau berlangsung selama Juli-September 2015 di Poliklinik Penyakit Dalam Rumah Sakit PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul. Kuesioner Short Form-36 digunakan untuk mengukur kualitas hidup dan Brief-Illness Perceptions Questionnaire untuk persepsi tentang penyakit. Analisis uji T dan Anova satu jalan dilakukan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kualitas hidup dan persepsi tentang penyakit berdasarkan karakteristik dasar pasien (jenis kelamin, umur, pendidikan, pekerjaan, kadar gula darah sewaktu, tekanan darah, dan durasi diabetes), dan pengaruh persepsi tentang penyakit terhadap kualitas hidup. Penelitian melibatkan 51 pasien DMT2 dengan komplikasi. Subyek dengan tingkat pendidikan rendah memiliki peran fisik yang lebih buruk daripada subyek dengan pendidikan menengah dan tinggi (p=0,049). Persepsi subyek yang positif dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup pada aspek: peran fisik (p=0,032), vitalitas (p=0,032), kesehatan mental (p=0,001), dan fungsi sosial (p=0,037). Kualitas hidup pasien DMT2 dengan komplikasi dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pendidikan dan persepsi tentang penyakit.
