Introduction: Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs) are diseases caused by pathogenic contaminants and harmful chemicals spread through direct contact with contaminated recreational water. Between 2011-2012, 1,700 cases caused by recreational water or Recreational Water Illness (RWIs) were recorded by the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This study aims to analyzed the quality of water in public baths and the health problems based on current discussions of the previously published research. Discussion: This study was a literature review conducted by searching, selecting, synthesizing, and studying existing scientific articles and papers relevant to the topics discussed. These articles and papers were then objectively summarized and critically analyzed. There were 11 articles included (articles with appropriate topics published after 2010, original, systematic, and those located in Asia and Europe). This study found that the quality of water was an indicator key of health problems in public bathing. It caused various kinds of diseases such as disorders in the digestive system and respiratory as well as irritations in the skin, eye, and ear. Conclusion: This study concluded that water quality is crucial to several health problems complained about by public baths visitors. Future research is expected to use systematic literature review and meta-analysis methods to provide more solid scientific evidence based on the strong relationship between variables.Literature Review: Water Quality of Public Bathing, Potential Health Problems and Water Borne Diseases on Visitors
Introduction: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 has become a real hazard and affects many sectors, one of them is education. The high number of new cases has made several countries to implement lockdown and quarantine policies. This policy caused several schools and universities to be closed to break the chain of transmission. Besides, the indirect effect of COVID19 is the mental disorder of the society, including students, that is getting worse. Mental disorder has become a growing health problem and requires more attention. This study aimed to explore the risk factors affecting students’ mental disorder at the period of the COVID19 pandemic based on the previously performed research from published journals. Discussion: Of the 394 literature that has been searched in Pubmed and Science Direct, by entering the keywords of coronavirus, mental disorder, education, and universities, it obtained 7 articles in accordance with inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this study included articles published in 2019 and 2020, articles categorized as original research articles, articles written in English, and articles discussed mental disorder in students since the COVID19 pandemic. The results of the study showed that in countries with quite high COVID19 cases, the risk factors affecting students’ health were news about new case rates, mortality rates, and COVID19 cure rates. Conclusion: Mental disorder disorders experienced by students during the pandemic were anxiety, stress, and depression. For further research, it is expected to provide recommendations for activities that can prevent students’ mental disorder to not worse during the pandemic.
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.
