“…[6][7][8] At the same time, there has been evidence where mental health and compliance to recommended COVID-19 preventive behavior was associated with each other, creating a feedback loop. 8,9 Behavioral changes require discipline, which is precluded by good mental health. At the same time, rapid changes may potentially cause mental distress to healthcare workers.…”

“…8 It may lead to a potential feedback loop between health-care workers' mental health and preventive behavior adherence, as well as with other various other factors that may affect both outcomes. 9 As the situation surrounding COVID-19 continued to develop, new information and data points would be necessary to keep us updated on the current situation in the field. Thus, this research is aimed at updating the health-care community and policymakers on determinants of mental health and preventive behaviors to better increase compliance and better protect the gatekeepers to our health-care system.…”

Purpose: We aim to study the level of mental health distress and COVID-19 prevention in practice behaviors among general practitioners (GPs) in Bali, Indonesia, as well as their determinants. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey. Survey recruitment material was disseminated by purposive snowballing through regional professional association as well as research team's personal acquaintances. The survey measured mental health status by DASS-21 questionnaire and practice behavior by a questionnaire based on WHO recommendations for hand hygiene and PPE use during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted multivariate analyses to identify independent determinants for mental health and practice behavior. Results: Analyses included 635 (41.75%) of GPs in Bali. Mental health status was relatively good with prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress of 13.2%, 19.7%, and 11% respectively, lower than previous studies in Indonesia and elsewhere. Practice behavior, however, was not considerably lower with only 65.4% and 32.1% reported consistent hand hygiene and recommended PPE use respectively. Routine optional PPE use was reported by 23.6% of respondents. Long working hours and fear of COVID-19 was identified as detrimental to mental health while consistent hand hygiene improved it. Meanwhile, workplace, work setting, and fear of COVID-19, were identified as determinants for PPE use. GPs working in primary health centers and private hospitals were also found to have less adherence to hand hygiene protocols. Conclusion: Our results showed relatively good mental health status along with inadequate infection prevention in practice behavior of GPs in Bali, Indonesia. Intervention should be made to improve practice behavior. Determinants of practice behavior identified in this study could help to pinpoint intervention targets.

“…It is highly contagious to human regardless of age [1], but people with weak immune systems, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and young children, have a higher risk of being infected [2]. Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 can adapt and mutate in the human body, making it highly infectious and the world is currently witnessed its unprecendented transmission rate [3]. As of 24 December 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) reports 79,313,541 confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide, with a total of 1,742,765 deaths.…”

<p>This article discusses the instrumentation system of airlangga robotic triage assistant version 1 (ARTA-1), a robot used as a contact-free triage assistant for Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) suspects. The triage process consists of automatic vital signs check-up as well as the suspect’s anamnesis that in turns will determine whether the suspect will get a specific care or not. Measurements of a suspect’s vital conditions, i.e. temperature, height, and weight, are carried out with sensors integrated with the Arduino boards, while a touch-free, hand gesture questions and answers is carried out to complete anamnesis process. A portable document format (PDF) format of the triage report, which recommends what to do to the suspect, will then be automatically generated and emailed to a designated medical staff.</p>
