Background: Patients with addiction often encounter negative attitudes from health care professionals, including medical doctors. Addiction medicine training might improve medical students' attitudes toward patients with addiction problems and change the way they think about addiction. We evaluated the effect of comprehensive addiction medicine training on students' attitudes and illness perceptions and explored which perceptions are most relevant for attitude development. Methods: In a quasi-experimental non-randomized study, fourth-year students (n ¼ 296) participated in either addiction medicine training (intervention) or one of three other blocks (control). We used the Medical Condition Regards Scale to measure attitudes and the Illness Perception Questionnaire Addiction version for perceptions. We analyzed the effect of the intervention using repeated measures MANOVA. The contribution of illness perception to attitude was explored in the intervention group using linear regression analysis. Results: Addiction medicine training improved students' attitudes toward patients with addiction, compared to the control group. After the training, students expressed a less demoralized perception, a stronger perception of a coherent understanding of addiction, addiction as a cyclical condition, and attributed addiction more to psychological factors, compared to the control group. In the intervention group, attitude and emotional representation before training and illness coherence after the training were associated with attitude after the training. Conclusions: Addiction medicine training is effective in improving medical students' attitudes toward patients with addiction and changing their illness perceptions of addiction. The development of an understanding of addiction might be particularly relevant for attitude improvement. These findings underscore the relevance of addiction medicine training as part of medical curricula and argue for including aspects related to attitude development in the curriculum.
Background: The advancements in technology in the form of smartphones have made life easier; however, some negative effects have been recorded with regards to the use of smartphone. Among these negative effects are nomophobia, or a phobia of no mobile phone, and lack of attention. This study explored the relationship between nomophobia and attention in medical students. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytic study on medical students in Jakarta in 2019. The Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) was used to measure the level of nomophobia and the Six Letter Cancellation Test (SLCT) was used to measure attention. Data collected were analyzed using a simple linear regression test. Result: There was a weak negative relationship between the severity of nomophobia and attention (r=.161). However, nomophobia score was a very weak predictor for attention with an adjusted r-squared score of .021. Conclusions: Nomophobia does not necessarily affect the attention of medical students. Excessive mobile phone use does cause nomophobia and lack of attention. Therefore, smartphones need to be used wisely.
Background: Doctors need good moral reasoning to solve moral issues that cause dilemmas in decision making. But researches on medical students suggest that there was no significant moral development in four-year length of studies and there was a moral regression instead since the students entered clinical years. The aim of this study is to find out the description about Duration of Study in Medical School and Moral Reasoning among Medical Students.Methods: This is a descriptive study using cross-sectional design. Samples were medical students of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia which enrolled at the year of 2012 – 2016. Duration of study was determined by the school year and moral reasoning was determined based on the domain of autonomy, beneficence-non maleficence, justice and other contextual features found in 3 vignettes of moral problems.Results: Students class of 2012-2016’s moral reasoning dominantly identified the principle of beneficence and non-maleficence. In vignette 1, autonomy, justice and other contextual features also had a quite high answer percentage. Overall students’ moral reasoning is similar between school year, but there was slight difference in clinical students. There was no difference in moral reasoning between male and female.Conclusion: Medical Students respect the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence. There is a slight difference in moral reasoning between the preclinical and clinical students. There was no difference in moral reasoning between male and female.

The rate of internet use is quite high among college students. Internet is used as a media to play online games, which if played extensively may lead to addiction. Excessive play of online games is found to be associated with decreased psychosocial wellbeing and may cause depressive mood. The rate of depression disorder in Indonesia, especially among college students is quite high. This research aims to find out the association between online game addiction and depression in preclinical students of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia’s Medicine and Health Science Faculty.This research uses cross-sectional method on preclinical students of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia’s Medicine and Health Science Faculty year 2017-2019. The instruments used are questionnaires (demographic, Game Addiction Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9). Out of 215 respondents, 3,7% had online game addiction. It was found that the rate of mild depression is 34%, moderate depression is 18.1%, moderately severe depression is 7.4%, and severe depression is 2.3%. Statistical analysis indicates that there is a significant association between online game addiction and depression (p 0,05). In conclusion, there is an association between online game addiction and depression in preclinical students of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia’s Medicine and Health Science Faculty.
