Background: Medical education throughout the world has experienced major changes as a consequence of the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government of Indonesia has instructed physical distancing so that teaching and learning activities, including in the Faculty of Medicine, must be carried out at home with online methods to reduce the risk of COVID distribution. Objective: to explore undergraduate medical students’ perspectives towards distance learning during early COVID 19 pandemic at Muhammadiyah Surabaya University - Faculty of Medicine (MSU-FM), Indonesia. Methods: a qualitative study of students’ online survey responses had been done. Thematic analysis based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technolgy (UTAUT) constructs was done to ecplore students’ perspectives. Results: Students have a positive perspective related to performance expectancy of distance learning. This factor have been perceived as factor that support the behavior of the use of distance learning in order to increase cognitive involvement in the learning process. However, in this study, other factors conveyed by students limiting their optimal use of current distance learning platform. Conclusion: Students‘ user experiences must be developed and maintained continuously during this pandemic era. Longitudinal studies that investigate the long-term impact of various distance learning platforms‘ usage also need further study.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) saat ini merupakan salah satu masalah yang banyak diperbincangkan. Penyebaran virus ini sangat cepat, bahkan hampir seluruh negara di dunia merasakan dampak dari virus ini. Virus ini sangat berbahaya apabila menginfeksi orang yang memiliki faktor resiko. Faktor resiko yang telah teridentifikasi untuk penyakit ini diantaranya; usia, jenis kelamin, perokok aktif, imunitas yang lemah, dan beberapa komorbid seperti hipertensi dan diabetes mellitus. Tujuan: Untuk menelaah pengaruh komorbid hipertensi terhadap perburukan kondisi pasien terinfeksi COVID-19. Metode: Artikel-artikel ilmiah terpublikasi tentang pengaruh komorbid hipertensi terhadap pasien COVID-19 dicari menggunakan Google Scholar dan PubMed lalu di telaah secara kritis. Hasil: Hipertensi dapat memperburuk kondisi pasien COVID-19 hingga 2,5 kali lipat. Penggunaan obat anti hipertensi dari golongan angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) dan angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) sendiri belum terbukti dapat memperburuk kondisi pasien COVID-19. Kesimpulan: COVID-19 adalah penyakit yang berbahaya dengan proses penyebaran yang sangat cepat. Hipertensi merupakan komorbid yang sering ditemukan pada pasien COVID-19 dan dapat memperburuk kondisi pasien COVID-19.

With the rise of internet, the new world order has emerged and it has a completely different pattern and characteristic from our traditional society. The fast development of internet technology has changed the way we communicate to each other, educate and entertain ourselves and also behave as a person in our society. On the other hand, today the Corona Virus Disease Pandemic (COVID-19) was ongoing and spreading throughout the globe. The viral pandemic has been spreading from a province to other areas in China and to other countries, including Indonesia. Our government until now is still working very hard in order to curb the disease from spreading further every day. Currently the government has enacted the “<em>Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar</em>” (PSBB) which means limiting social interaction of our people at massive scale. One of the policies of this PSBB is physical distancing. The meaning of physical distancing is working, studying and praying at home. This enables our school and university students to study from home by utilizing internet technology. The application of internet in the long term will have either positive or negative impact on our younger generation.</p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Internet, teenager</em> <em>, addiction, distance learning, COVID 19, pandemi</em></p>
Background: Facebook has been acknowledged as an alternative media in supporting traditional learning activities. However, its potential in enhancing students’ cognitive engagement on flipped-classroom’ activities is still not much known. This study aims to measure undergraduate medical students’ cognitive engagement changes after joining an ocular trauma flipped-classroom’ Facebook group.Methods: This pre-experimental study was involving 45 third-year undergraduate medical students of Muhammadiyah Surabaya' University who were joining the ocular trauma flipped-classroom' Facebook group. Three cognitive engagement variables were measured before students were joining the group and after the flipped-classroom’ face to face session ended. Finally, metrics data of the group members’ activities, which had been collected using Facebook Insight, used to shown changes between the active and passive user.Results: All users’ (n = 45) cognitive engagement were rising significantly after join the Facebook group (motivation, p = 0,000; self-directed learning readiness, p = 0,000; knowledge towards ocular trauma topic, p = 0,000). Increase in average active user knowledge was 11.09 points higher than passive users. Self-efficacy aspect of the students’ learning motivation and self-management aspects of the students’ self-directed learning readiness were the most increased sub-components.Conclusion: Facebook group has the potential to improve students’ cognitive engagement on ocular trauma’ flipped classroom.
Background: Online lectures are now increasing in popularity for medical education worldwide. Online lectures were reported effective and efficient and might facilitate a safe learning environment with physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, there is a range of online meeting applications available, namely, Zoom®, GoogleMeet®, Webex®, and many others. The main challenge of online lectures is ensuring students’ engagement throughout the learning activity. Lecturers possess lower control of the class environment online than face-to-face activities. Passive students are also another barrier and concern. This article reviews the use of quizzes and online surveys as interactive applications to increase students’ engagement during online lectures, for instance, Zoom® Polls and Mentimeter ®.Learning Media Review: Zoom® Polls is easy for quizzes and surveys to complement Zoom® meetings. The polls can be used synchronously for large and small-class activities. Meanwhile, Mentimeter® also has a quiz, survey and word cloud as interactive activities during online lectures. Mentimeter® is a web-based application in which the free version allows access to most of its features. The utilization of interactive applications should be carefully prepared to ensure good student engagement but not overly used to prevent possible distractions. Instructions and question items should be made clear and thorough.Conclusion: Survey and interactive presentation applications are offered to present better class and online lecture engagement
