MODEL CORAK BERPIKIR ANALITIS PADA MAHASISWA BERDASARKAN KESESUAIAN GAYA BELAJAR MAHASISWA DENGAN GAYA MENGAJAR DOSEN DAN METODE MENGAJAR DOSEN
Penelitian ini merupakan studi kausal secara cross sectional yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi corak berpikir analitis mahasiswa. Corak berpikir analitis adalah strategi kognitif yang aktif dan sistematik untuk memeriksa, menilai dan memahami peristiwa/kejadian, memecahkan masalah, dan membuat keputusan berdasarkan alasan dan bukti yang valid. Secara konseptual, corak berpikir analitis dipengaruhi oleh kesesuaian gaya belajar mahasiswa dengan gaya mengajar dosen, dan dimoderasi oleh metode mengajar dosen. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 947 mahasiswa di Universitas Padjadjaran dan Institut Teknologi Bandung, yang terdiri dari 367 lakilaki dan 580 perempuan, dengan rentang usia antara 17 sampai 25 tahun. Data yang diperoleh dari hasil penelitian ini dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis jalur. Hasil analisis jalur menunjukkan bahwa corak berpikir analitis dipengaruhi oleh kesesuaian gaya belajar mahasiswa dan gaya mengajar dosen ( inferencedoing= 0.077, deduction-doing= 0.080, deduction-thinking= -0.098), dan dimoderasi oleh metode mengajar dosen ( inference-doing*method=-0.307, inference-feeling*method=0.184, recognition of assumption-doing*method=- 0.171, interpretation-watching*method= -0.068). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, dosen tidak harus selalu menyesuaikan gaya mengajarnya dengan gaya belajar mahasiswanya. Dosen juga seyogyanya perlu menerapkan metode mengajar baik yang berpusat pada mahasiswa (student-centered) maupun yang berpusat pada dosen (teacher-centered) secara hati-hati agar dapat membentuk corak berpikir analitis mahasiswa yang optimal. Kata-kata kunci: corak berpikir analitis, gaya belajar mahasiswa, gaya mengajar dosen, metode mengajar dosen
Quality of life and health status of Indonesian women with breast cancer symptoms before the definitive diagnosis
__Objectives__ Breast cancer (BC) is prevalent in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the majority of cases are diagnosed in late stages. The aims of this study were:
(1) to assess quality of life (QOL) and health status of Indonesian women with BC symptoms before definitive diagnosis;
(2) to compare QOL and health status between women with BC symptoms before definitive diagnosis and Indonesian women in general;
(3) to evaluate the association between demographic variables (age, residence, social economic status and education level) and QOL within the Indonesian women with BC symptoms before definitive diagnosis.
__Methods__ We used WHOQOL-BREF to measure QOL and EQ-5D-5L for health status. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to compare QOL and health status between women with BC symptoms and women from the general Indonesian population in order to control for confounders. Regression analyses were used for testing the association between the demographic variables, QOL, and health status.
__Results__ In comparison with the data from the women from the general population (n = 471), the women with BC symptoms (n = 132) reported lower QOL, especially in physical and psychological domains. They also reported more problems in all dimensions of health status. Higher education and monthly income were positively associated with QOL and health status among the women with BC symptoms.
__Conclusion__ Before receiving a definitive diagnosis, women who visit hospitals with symptoms of BC, report a lower QOL and health status than women in general. Our results suggest that healthcare providers should provide targeted strategies for women with BC symptoms to improve their QOL
A protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a self-help psycho-education programme to reduce diagnosis delay in women with breast cancer symptoms in Indonesia
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer occurring in women across the world. Its mortality rate in low-middle income countries (LMICs) is higher than in high-income countries (HICs), and in Indonesia BC is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Delay in breast cancer diagnosis negatively impacts cancer prognosis. Only about 30% of patients who come to the hospital to check on their breast abnormalities, continue thorough examination to biopsy to get a diagnosis based on the results of anatomical pathology. Many Indonesian women with breast cancer were already in an advanced stage when starting treatment. Therefore, delay in diagnosis is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. The present study will investigate whether our newly developed self-help psycho-educational programme, "PERANTARA", for women with breast cancer symptoms is effective to reduce patient diagnosis delay in Indonesia.
Methods: A cluster-randomized controlled trial will be conducted in 106 patients in four hospitals in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Data will be collected at baseline (pre-assessment), 7 days after the intervention (post-assessment), and at 3months (follow-up assessments). The primary outcome is delay in diagnosis and treatment. Secondary outcomes are breast cancer knowledge, anxiety and depression, and quality of life. Exploratively, adherence with treatment will be measured too. Data will be analysed by hierarchical linear modelling (HLM) to assess differential change over time.
Discussion: If proven effective, PERANTARA will be evaluated and implemented in a diversity of settings for local cares (such as in POSYANDU, PUSKESMAS) that provide health education/psycho-education for women with breast symptoms.
Trial registration: ISRCTN1257073
A self-help intervention for reducing time to diagnosis in Indonesian women with breast cancer symptoms
Objective: We investigated the effectiveness of a self-help intervention named PERANTARA, which aims to improve adherence to diagnostic procedures among women with breast cancer (BC) symptoms to reduce the time to a definitive diagnosis. Methods: With a cluster randomized crossover design across four hospitals, PERANTARA and treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU only was provided at successive periods in a randomly determined order. The main outcome was the time between the first medical consultation and the definitive diagnosis. Secondary outcomes were BC knowledge, measured by the Breast Cancer Knowledge Test (BCKT); symptoms of anxiety and depression, measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS); quality of life, measured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF); and health status, measured by the EQ-5D-5L. A linear mixed model analysis was conducted to analyse the outcomes. Results: We recruited 132 women with BC symptoms from four hospitals; 67 participants were in the intervention group, and 65 participants were in the control group. PERANTARA reduced the time to definitive diagnosis by 13.3 days (M [SD]: 25.90 [23.20] in the intervention group vs 39.29 [35.10] in the control group
Understanding the protective effect of social support on depression symptomatology from a longitudinal network perspective
Background: Higher social support protects people from developing mental disorders. Limited evidence is available on the mechanism through which social support plays this protective role. Objective: To investigate the stress-buffering process of social support on depressive symptoms using a novel longitudinal dynamic symptom network approach. Methods: A total of 4242 adult participants who completed the first two waves (from May to October 2020) of the International Covid Mental Health Survey were included in the study. Cross-lagged panel network modelling was used to estimate a longitudinal network of self-reported social support, loneliness and depressive symptoms. Standardised regression coefficients from regularised cross-lagged regressions were estimated as edge weights of the network. Findings: The results support a unidirectional protective effect of social support on key depressive symptoms, partly mediated through loneliness: A higher number of close confidants and accessible practical help was associated with decreased anhedonia (weight=-0.033) and negative self-appraisal symptoms (weight=-0.038). Support from others was also negatively associated with loneliness, which in turn associated with decreased depressed mood (weight=0.086) and negative self-appraisal (weight=0.077). We identified a greater number of direct relationships from social support to depressive symptoms among men compared with women. Also, the edge weights from social support to depression were generally stronger in the men's network. Conclusions: Reductions in negative self-appraisal might function as a bridge between social support and other depressive symptoms, and, thus, it may have amplified the protective effect of social support. Men appear to benefit more from social support than women. Clinical implications: Building community-based support networks to deliver practical support, and loneliness reduction components are critical for depression prevention interventions after stressful experiences
