The COVID-19 pandemics caused an unprecedented mortality, distress, and globally poses a challenge to mental resilience. To our knowledge, this is the first study that aimed to investigate the psychological distress among the adult general population across 13 countries. This cross-sectional study was conducted through online survey by recruiting 7091 respondents. Psychological distress was evaluated with COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI). The crude prevalence of psychological distress due to COVID-19 is highest in Vietnam, followed by Egypt, and Bangladesh. Through Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis, the respondents from Vietnam holds the highest level of distress, while the respondents from Sri Lanka holds the lowest level of distress with reference to Nepal.Female respondents had higher odds of having reported psychological distress, and those with tertiary education were less likely to report psychological distress compared to those with lower level of education. The findings indicate that psychological distress is varies across different countries. Therefore, different countries should continue the surveillance on psychological consequences through the COVID-19 pandemic to monitor the burden and to prepare for the targeted mental health support interventions according to the need. The coping strategies and social support should be provided especially to the lower educational attainment group.
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a public health emergency. The speed at which COVID-19 become pandemic and spread all over the world is alarming. A critical aspect of this type of pandemic is on the mental health of the community. This survey aimed to describe psychological distress in Indonesia's general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection began on 1st April 2020 to 30th April 2020. An online survey using Google Form with snowball sampling method used in this study. A modified version of the COVID-19 peri-traumatic distress index (CPDI) with 24 items used. The survey questionnaire included socio-economic and demographic variables. The study's total responses were 1,287, with 33 excluded from the analysis because of incomplete responses or not meeting inclusion criteria. Results showed that 63.5% of respondents reported having normal or no distress, 34% were having mild to moderate levels of distress, and 2.8% having severe distress. Age is the only variable that correlates with the level of distress. Healthcare workers and the general population showed no significant differences in the level of distress. During the early break of the COVID-19 pandemic, around 40% of respondents rated their psychological state having moderate to severe distress. These findings can be used to develop better psychological intervention measures and prevention of mental health during the pandemic.
Penggunaan komputer dalam bekerja meningkat pesat baik dalam bidang industri maupun bidang pekerjaan lainnya. Penggunaan komputer dalam bekerja meliputi posisi mengetik dan durasi penggunaan komputer. Aktivitas mengetik dalam durasi yang lama dan posisi yang salah saat mengetik dapat berisiko terkena penyakit pada jari tangan dan pergelangan tangan. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui hubungan durasi dan posisi mengetik komputer dengan gejala carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) pada karyawan Universitas Islam Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan potong lintang. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah karyawan Universitas Islam Bandung. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan berupa kuesioner. Responden penelitian berjumlah 54 orang yang sudah memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Data dianalisis dengan uji chi-square dan Uji Eksak Fisher. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara durasi mengetik komputer dan gejala carpal tunnel syndrome (p=0,75), terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara posisi mengetik komputer (p=0,07) dan gejala carpal tunnel syndrome. Dari 54 responden, 32 responden memiliki gejala carpal tunnel syndrome.
Mayoritas mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran memiliki kualitas tidur yang buruk. Hal tersebut dihubungkan dengan sistem pendidikan di Fakultas Kedokteran yang sangat ketat dan waktu belajar yang tidak sebentar diduga menyebabkan kualitas tidur buruk pada mahasiswi. Dari beberapa penelitian menyatakan kualitas tidur dapat dihubungkan dengan terjadinya patogenesis nyeri, termasuk dismenore primer. Kejadian dismenore primer pada perempuan juga dapat terjadi pada mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Islam Bandung. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara kualitas tidur dengan angka kejadian dismenore primer pada mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Islam Bandung. Jenis penelitian adalah analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Subjek dipilih secara systematic random sampling dan didapatkan 106 sampel. Masing-masing responden mengisi informed concent, kuesioner Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), dan kuesioner Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Data dianalisis menggunakan program Epi Info 7. Hasil penelitian 62,3% memiliki kualitas tidur buruk, 49,1% dismenore primer sedang, 10,4% dismenore primer berat. Angka kejadian dismenore sedang pada kelompok subjek kualitas tidur buruk lebih besar dari kualitas tidur baik, secara statistik perbedaan ini sangat bermakna (p=0,008). Angka kejadian dismenore berat pada kelompok subjek kualitas tidur buruk lebih besar dari kualitas tidur baik, secara statistik perbedaan ini bermakna (p=0,04). Terdapat hubungan yang secara statistik bermakna antara kualitas tidur dengan kejadian dismenore primer pada mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Islam Bandung.
A challenge for hospitals in facing the high number of patient visits is to provide quality services. One of the vital services in dealing with patients, especially those who will have cancer surgery considering the high rate of mortality cancer, is an improvement in waiting time (WT). Waiting time for elective surgery is one indicator of service quality with a standard of ≤2 days. This research aimed to determine the average WT for surgery, influencing factors, and optimal queuing models. The method used was quantitative and qualitative methods applied to 207 samples with consecutive sampling at West Java Provincial Al-Ihsan Regional General Hospital Bandung from October to December 2016. The analysis used partial least squares (PLS). The results of the study showed that the average WT for surgery was 32 days. Factors that influence WT were inpatient rooms, number of medical personnel, condition of patients, and health insurance. The optimal queue model to reduce surgical waiting time are adding inpatient beds, oncologist doctor, and creating an online system for registration and confirmation of inpatient rooms and operating. FAKTOR YANG MEMENGARUHI WAKTU TUNGGU OPERASI PASIEN KANKER DI RUMAH SAKIT RUJUKAN JAWA BARATTantangan bagi rumah sakit dalam menghadapi jumlah kunjungan pasien yang tinggi adalah mampu memberikan pelayanan berkualitas. Salah satu pelayanan signifikan bagi pasien kanker yang akan menjalani operasi adalah perbaikan waktu tunggu karena mortalitas pasien kanker yang tinggi. Waktu tunggu operasi elektif merupakan salah satu indikator mutu pelayanan dengan standar ≤2 hari. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui waktu tunggu operasi rerata, faktor yang memengaruhi, dan model antrean yang optimal. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dan kualitatif yang diterapkan pada 207 sampel secara consecutive sampling di RSUD Al-Ihsan Provinsi Jawa Barat Bandung dari Oktober hingga Desember 2016. Analisis menggunakan partial least squares (PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu tunggu operasi rerata adalah 32 hari. Faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap waktu tunggu operasi adalah ruang rawat inap, jumlah tenaga medis, kondisi pasien, dan jaminan kesehatan. Model antrean yang optimal untuk menurunkan waktu tunggu operasi adalah penambahan tempat tidur rawat inap, penambahan dokter spesialis bedah onkologi, serta pembuatan sistem daring untuk pendaftaran dan konfirmasi kesiapan ruang rawat inap dan ruang operasi.
