“…Bearing in mind that Bauchi State has a total population of 6,056,519 people, 3 geopolitical zones, 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs), and 196 directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS) treatment centers, a representative sample of these 53 caregivers of CTB cases were obtained using the multi-staged sampling technique. These were proportionally contributed by each of the 8 randomly selected DOTS centers through systematic random sampling technique [25].…”

Background: In Nigeria, childhood tuberculosis (TB), a debilitating and deadly disease, is highly prevalent and case reporting is poor due to weak health systems. Globally, children account for at least 10 percent of the TB burden, yet they remain neglected in TB prevention and control efforts. Research studies integrating family and community-centered strategies have been recommended by stakeholders to address the paucity of current local prevention and management strategies for childhood TB. Study Design: Observational study. Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional study explored the relationship between caregivers' quality of life (QOL) and the reporting of TB in their children aged 0 -14 years. Using the abbreviated version of World Health Organization's (WHO) QOL tool, the WHOQOL-BREF, data were collected individually in a face-to-face setting from caregivers (n = 47) whose children had been diagnosed with TB in Bauchi State, Northeastern Nigeria, over a 5-year period. Data were collected in the same manner from another set of caregivers of children without TB (n = 47) within the same period and setting. Results: Logistic regression indicated a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.001) between the caregivers' QOL and the reporting of childhood TB. Conclusion: This finding underscores the need to identify the factors that positively impact the QOL of caregivers of childhood TB cases. It also reflects the importance of integrating QOL interventions as part of TB control programs seeking to improve childhood TB reporting. This can mitigate the disease burden in vulnerable age-groups living in resource limited settings, thereby contributing to positive social change in the society.

“…Patient representatives and GPs were recruited using a snowball sampling method. 27 One of the coresearchers proposed nine patient representatives from local mental health service user organisations. These nine representatives were then contacted individually and invited to participate in this study by email and telephone; two of the nine representatives declined to participate.…”

BackgroundShared understanding between GPs and hospital specialists concerning when patients need specialised mental health care is important to ensure patients receive appropriate care. The large amount of rejected referrals often indicates a lack of such shared understanding.AimTo explore how patient representatives, GPs, and mental health specialists understand ‘need for specialised mental health care’, meaning that primary care is no longer sufficient.Design & settingThis qualitative study was conducted in western Norway. The study has a service user-involved research design in which GPs and patient representatives participated in all stages of the research process.MethodSix semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted. The groups were homogenous as they included only the perspectives of either GPs, mental health specialists, or patient representatives. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsThe need for specialised mental health care was assessed using two continuums: (a) the patient’s level of functioning and symptoms; and (b) characteristics of the healthcare system and the patient’s informal support networks. Assessment along these continuums were often overruled by the evaluation of expected usefulness of specialised mental health care. In addition, all participants reported they often adapted their definition of need to fit other stakeholders’ interpretations of need.ConclusionEvaluation of need for specialised mental health care is complex and depends on several factors. This may explain some of the current challenges that exist with regard to equity and timely access to appropriate healthcare interventions.

“…Kriteria eksklusi tersebut dipilih agar penelitian menggunakan sampel dari populasi target yang sama sehingga memperkecil kesalahan acak. 12 Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan cara non-probability sampling menggunakan teknik saturation/total sampling selama periode rawat inap tahun 2016 hingga tahun 2017, karena sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah semua anggota populasi (populasinya tidak banyak). Analisis yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari uji validitas dengan korelasi bivariate Pearson dan uji reliabilitas dengan rumus Cronbach alpha menggunakan alat bantu SPSS versi 20.0, serta analisis hasil kuesioner yaitu pengukuran tingkat kepuasan pasien yang dibagi dalam beberapa kategori kelompok analisis.…”

AbstrakDiabetes melitus merupakan penyakit dengan pengobatan seumur hidup, oleh karena itu kepuasan pasien perlu diperhatikan agar pasien memiliki kemauan dalam menjalani pengobatannya terus-menerus guna mencapai keberhasilan terapi. Proporsi diabetes melitus pada tahun 2013 sebesar 6,9% dengan perkiraan jumlah absolut penderita diabetes sebanyak 12.191.564 jiwa di Indonesia, dan satu per enam dari pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 mengalami komplikasi ginjal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pasien rawat inap diabetes melitus tipe 2 dengan komplikasi ginjal menggunakan kuesioner The Patient Satisfaction Quesionnaire Short-Form (PSQ-18). Penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional dengan rancangan penelitian deskriptif. Pengambilan data secara konkuren berasal dari kuesioner PSQ-18 yang sudah divalidasi. Subjek penelitian merupakan pasien rawat inap di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung pada tahun 2016 sampai 2017 dengan diagnosis utama non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with renal complication (kode ICD: E11,2+). Hasil pengukuran rata-rata skor kepuasan pasien secara keseluruhan sebesar 3,62. Pengelompokan berdasarkan tahun rawat inap memiliki rata-rata skor total sebesar 3,59 pada tahun 2016 dan 3,66 pada tahun 2017. Kategori kepuasan pasien dengan skor tertinggi adalah kualitas interpersonal (3,93) dan terendah adalah aspek keuangan (3,18). Pada pengelompokan kepuasan berdasarkan terapi insulin, kelompok kombinasi insulin Glargine-Aspart memiliki rata-rata skor tertinggi (3,8) dan kombinasi insulin Detemir-Aspart dengan rata-rata skor terendah (3,3). Secara keseluruhan, pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 dengan komplikasi ginjal yang menjalani rawat inap di fasiltas kesehatan tingkat lanjut merasa puas dengan pelayanan kesehatan yang diberikan. Berdasarkan level kepuasan pasien, kombinasi insulin glargine-insulin aspart dapat direkomendasikan sebagai pilihan pengobatan. AbstractDiabetes mellitus is a disease that requires a lifelong treatment. Therefore, patient satisfaction should be well-maintained to keep them motivated in undergoing the continuous treatment. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in 2013 reached 6.9% with an estimated total of 12.191.564 patients diagnosed with this disease in Indonesia. One per six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was identified to also suffer from renal complications. This study aimed to find the satisfaction level of inpatients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and renal complications in an advanced health facility. This observational research was done using a descriptive research design. A set of validated questionnaire (PSQ-18) was employed to concurrently collect relevant data related to patient satisfaction. The subjects of this research were inpatients of RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung during year 2016-2017 who were diagnosed with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with renal complication (code ICD: E11.2+). The overall average score of patient satisfaction was 3.62. Based on the hospitalization year, the average score in 2016 wa...
