Needle stick injuries in a tertiary care hospital in India: observations from a clinical audit

Background: Needle stick injuries (NSI) is notably one of the most common and preventable occupational hazard amongst healthcare workers (HCW). This article reports the findings of a clinical audit for needle stick injuries (NSI) conducted at a tertiary care hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India.Methods: Clinical audit was conducted at the 123 bed ISO 9002 certified and NABH accredited tertiary care hospital having safety protocols and incident reporting mechanisms in place. Data included all reported and unreported events of NSI. Information about the unreported events was collected through personal interview of all HCWs (99 men and 180 women) and employed doctors (23 men and 09 women). The nature of events and situations when NSI occurred were described. This being a only exploratory analysis is done.Results: With a total of 36,376 patients treated in the hospital during 2015, a total of 2,16,336 injections were given. Only 11 NSI events were documented during the year and all were reported voluntarily by the HCWs after the incident occurred. All events occurred in the HCWs and no doctors were involved in any of the NSI events. The number of NSI events per 1000 patients treated (IPD and OPD) was 0.302, i.e. 0.03%, and the annual incidence was 8.94% for the hospital beds. Female HCW’s (63.6%) were involved more in NSI than males (36.4%).Conclusions: Continuous education of all categories of HCWs plays a crucial role in capturing NSI. Staff should be encouraged to self-report without any delay and should treat each NSI as an emergency

Profil Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Matematis Siswa SMP dengan Graded Response Models

Critical thinking is an important element which students have in the school. However, the critical thinking in the students nowadays is in the lower level. One strategy that could improve the critical thinking is by giving and practicing the tasks to the students continually to upgrade their knowledge. This research aims to describe the students' critical thinking of mathematic skill profile in Junior High School with Graded Response Models (GRM). The criterion of critical thinking that becomes the core in this research is FRISCO (Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarify, and Overview). The subject of the research is three students of Pangudi Luhur Junior High School Salatiga. Those three subjects were taken based on three categories which are A subject (the students who have high intelligence), B subject (the students who have standard intelligence), and C subject (the students who have low intelligence). The estimate parameter result of students' mathematics critical thinking shows that the A subject fulfilled the criterion (focus, reason, clarity and overview), B subject fulfilled the criterion (reason and clarity), and C subject fulfilld the criterion (situation). Based on the calculation of estimate parameter, the questions and GRM, all of three subjects have an average critical thinking ability with skill score between 1,00 until -1,00.

Faktor-faktor Risiko Lingkungan Rumah dan Perilaku yang Berhubungan dengan Kejadian Infeksi Saluran Pernafasan Akut (Ispa) pada Balita di Kelurahan Kuningan Kecamatan Semarang Utara

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a disease caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi. Recapitulation of monthly report of 10 major disease found that ARI in Kuningan village are highest any villages in the work area of Bandarharjo Primary Health Care. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between bedroom population density, the width of house ventilation, bedroom air humidity, smoking habits of family members in the house, the presence of taking children habits in the kitchen while cooking and the habit of burning mosquito coils with ARI incidence in children under five years in the Kuningan Village. This study used an explanatory research with cross sectional design. The population was all children aged 12-59 months in the Kuningan Village with good nutritional status and the status of fully immunized as many as 558 children. Samples were taken using Systematic Random Sampling technique as many as 64 samples. Data analysis using chi square test (CI = 95%, α = 5%). The results indicated that the proportion of poor ventilation with children suffering from ARI 54,3% and 45,7% did not suffer from ARI, smoking habits of family members in the house with children suffering from ARI 56,2% and 43,8% did not suffer from ARI. While the bedroom population density does not qualify as much as 65,6%. It was found that there are relationship between the width of house ventilation (p-value = 0,041) and smoking habits of family members in the house (p-value = 0,014). Variables that did not have significant relationship are bedroom population density (p-value=1,000), bedroom air humidity (p-value=0,586), the presence of taking children habits in the kitchen while cooking (p-value=0,924), and the habit of using mosquito coils (p-value=0,885). Conclutions is the smoking habits of family members in the house is a risk factor of ARI
