Introduction: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a particularly hazardous virus due to its rapid transmission. The spread of COVID-19 is so rapid that the WHO has labeled it a pandemic, and Indonesia has declared it a national catastrophe. The purpose of this essay was to summarize the management of cancer patient care during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: In this review, we used the PRISMA method and article sources from databases, including Scopus, Science Direct, SAGE, and CINAHL/EBSCO, from the years 2019 to 2020.. Inclusion criteria include research conducted in human, using nursing management strategies in cancer patients, and article written inEnglish and have been published in 2020. Exclusion criteria include research on non-human, articles that did not mention cancer care management during the COVID-19 epidemic, review and survey studies. Result: This review looked at 14 articles from different nations. Two studies used phone massage as an intervention, three studies used a combination of phone massage and phone call with smartphone technology, five studies used a video call to monitor cancer care management, one study used email or social media to monitor cancer care management, and three studies used web applications that are connected to the internet. Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings suggest that continuing anticancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic is safe and possible if appropriate and stringent infection control measures are implemented. In the future, more extensive research of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients may aid in the care of oncology patients
Patients with hypertension were mostly found to have low levels of healthy lifestyle compliance. Patients with hypertension are required to get health counseling in order to adhere to a healthy lifestyle in order to control blood pressure and prevent complications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of external factors (affordability of health services, support of health workers and family support) on the physical activity of hypertensive patients. The design of the research is descriptive correlational with a cross sectional approach. The large sample sampled 145 hypertensive patients. Data collection is done using questionnaires. Data analysis using bivariate tests obtained results of health service affordability (p=0.009), health care worker support (p=0.021) and family support (p=0.012) to the physical activity of hypertensive patients. The results of this study can help the puskesmas in identifying lifestyle compliance of hypertensive patients and help patients in understanding treatment regimens to improve lifestyle compliance.
Introduction: The unpredictability of body response to organ dysfunction needs an effective tool to predict the prognosis of shock septic. Early recognition and treatment of septic shock improved prognosis and reduced mortality, especially in pediatrics. This review aimed to identify the predictor of mortality in pediatric septic shock. Methods: We performed a literature review of the predictor of mortality in pediatric septic shock conducted between 2015 and 2020 in ProQuest, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. We used keywords (predictor or predictive) and (septic shock or septic), and (prognostic or prognosis) and (pediatric or children). The study selection was using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis PRISMA framework. Results: 944 articles identified in ProQuest, 720 articles in Science Direct, 339 articles in Google Scholar, and 67 in Pubmed. Equally, the total articles were 2,070 articles, and there were 414 duplicates. After review of the complete texts was performed for 35 potential studies. In the full-text review, we excluded review articles (n = 3), different populations (n=8), and of poor quality (n = 20). Eventually, four papers were reviewed in this study. We found PELOD, PELOD-2, PIM, PIM 2, PIM 3, PMODS, PRISM, PRISM-III, PRISM-IV, and pSOFA as a predictor of sepsis in pediatrics. Conclusion: In conclusion, pSOFA is a more accurate screening result for estimating the risk of death by being 10 times more sensitive and specific. However, adding biomarkers to pSOFA will improve the accuracy of the predictor prognosis of pediatric sepsis.
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.
