Knowledge and attitude towards pregnancy-related issues of Zika virus infection among general practitioners in Indonesia

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes towards pregnancy-related issues of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection among general practitioners (GPs), a frontline healthcare worker group, in Indonesia. Methods A cross-sectional, online survey assessing knowledge and attitudes towards ZIKV infection on multiple-item scales was sent to GPs in the Sumatra and Java islands of Indonesia. The associations between independent factors and either knowledge or attitude were assessed with logistic regressions. The correlation and association between knowledge and attitude were estimated. Results We included 457 (53.7%) out of 850 responses in the analysis. Among these, 304 (66.5%) and 111 (24.2%) respondents had a good knowledge and attitude, respectively. No demographic, workplace, professional development, or experiential characteristics related to ZIKV infection were associated with knowledge. In the multivariate analysis, only contact experience was associated with attitude. There was a significant, positive correlation between knowledge and attitude scores. Conclusions Although knowledge of pregnancy-related complications of ZIKV infection is relatively high among GPs in Indonesia, more than 75% of them had a poor attitude towards pregnancy-related issues of Zika. Strategies for enhancing the capacity of GPs to develop positive attitudes and respond to ZIKV infection are needed.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/152124/1/12879_2019_Article_4297.pd

Attitudes towards Zika virus infection among medical doctors in Aceh province, Indonesia

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, a public health emergency of international concern, has recently been confirmed in Indonesia. However, to date, there has been no study to assess how prepared healthcare workers in Indonesia are to confront this emerging infectious disease. The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of medical doctors in Indonesia towards ZIKV infection and its associated explanatory variables. A cross-sectional self-administered online survey was conducted from 3 May to 3 June 2016 in Aceh province, Indonesia. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data on doctors’ attitudes towards ZIKV infection and a range of explanatory variables (basic demographic data, professional characteristics, workplace characteristics and facilities, and medical experience related to ZIKV infection). Associations between attitude and explanatory variables were assessed using multiple-step logistic regression. We received 631 responses, 424 (67.19%) of which were included in the final analysis. Approximately 64% (271) of doctors had a poor attitude towards ZIKV infection. Experience considering ZIKV infection as a differential diagnosis and attendance at a national conference was associated with a good attitude, with odds ratios (OR) of 3.93 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15–13.49) and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.03–2.76), respectively. Unexpectedly, doctors who had attended an international conference and those working at places that had molecular diagnostic (polymerase chain reaction based testing) facilities had lower odds of having a good attitude (OR: 0.35 [95% CI: 0.15–0.84] and 0.42 [95% CI: 0.19–0.95], respectively). In conclusion, the attitude towards ZIKV infection is relatively poor among doctors in Aceh. Therefore, strategies for enhancing their capacity to respond to ZIKV infection are needed. The survey concept and tools were well accepted by the participants of this study, suggesting that this rapid assessment could be rolled out across the Indonesian archipelago and elsewhere to identify and regionally differentiate unmet needs of disease and outbreak preparednes

Epidemiology of pelvic fracture in the emergency room at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital between 2016-2018

ABSTRACT  Pelvic fracture is a rare case. The incidence is about 3% to 8% of the whole kind of fractures. The most common cause is high energy trauma and is associated with multi-trauma. The amount of pelvic trauma patients is 63,000 and is associated with increased mortality rates. The scientific data is needed because it is helpful for trauma prevention and management. This research is a descriptive observational study that examines the epidemiology of pelvic trauma. The population was patients with pelvic trauma who came to the ER RSUD Dr. Soetomo in 2016-2018. The total sample was 229 patients. A total of 149 patients (65.1%) were male, and 80 patients (34.9%) were female. Traffic accidents caused 173 patients (76%) cases. Tile A classification was most frequent in 117 patients (51.1%). There were 178 patients (77.7%) who were multi-trauma patients. The most common treatment was pelvic bandage with 95 patients (41.5%). There were 178 multi-trauma patients, 109 patients (61.2%) who underwent emergency surgery for trauma, and 69 patients (38.8%) who did not. The most common cause of pelvic fracture in Dr. Soetomo general hospital during 2016-2018 was trauma with high energy due to traffic accidents. The most common type of pelvic fracture was Tile A. The more severe the pelvic trauma, the treatment should be more aggressive

Deseminasi Mesin Pewarna Tekstil Untuk Meningkatkan Kuantitas Kain Tenun Ikat Bagi Home Industri di Kota Kediri

Eko (Kodok Ngorek Putra), diantara 20 home industri rumah tangga yang memproduksi kain Kain tenun ikat yang terletak di bandar kudul kota kediri yang mengalami kendala dalam proses produksi, yaitu belum efisiennya proses pewarnaannya. Proses pewarnaan tenun dan produksi memakai cara tradisional dengan bantuan manusia dan belum pernah melibatkan proses melalui mesin berbasis teknologi tepat guna, proses pewarnaan dengan teknik sederhana perhari hanya menghasilkan 5 kg benang dengan waktu kurang lebih 6 jam agar proses pewarnaan merata, selain itu proses pewarnaan ini tidak semua orang mempunyai keahlian, sebagai gambaran untuk melayani home industry sebanyak 120 hanya dikerjakan oleh 12 tenaga ahli, sehingga semua home industry belum terfasilitasi secara merata. Jadi semua proses pewarnaan dilaksanakan tanpa bantuan mesin. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini yaitu: (a) menghasilkan mesin pewarna tenun ikat; (b) melakukan pelatihan pengoperasian alatMetode pelaksanaan deseminasi ini dilaksanakan dengan cara desain melakukan tranfer ilmu pengetatuan berupa training singkat dengan demonstrasi dan diskusi terpimpin. Hasil dari pengabdian ini pertama telah menghasilkan mesin pewarna tekstil yang layak digunakan pada proses pewarnaan. Kedua hasil pelatihan yang dilakukan mendapat repon positif masyarakat yang ikut pelatihan dengan hasil tanggapan mitra terhadap kemudahan alat memperoleh presenetase 80%, tanggapan mitra terhadap bimbingan yang diberikan instruktur memperoleh presenetase 90%, tanggapan mitra terhadap isi dan metode bimbingan memperoleh presenetase 90%, tanggapan mitra terhadap pengetahuan/teknik yang telah dikuasai memperoleh presenetase 90%. Kata kunci— Tekstil, Kain Tenun ikat, Produktivitas  Abstract Eko (Kodok Ngorek Putra), among 20 home industries that produce ikat fabrics located in Bandar Kudul, Kediri, is experiencing problems in the production process, namely the inefficient coloring process. The dyeing process for weaving and production uses traditional methods with human assistance and has never involved a process through appropriate technology-based machines, the dyeing process with a simple technique per day only produces 5 kg of yarn in approximately 6 hours so that the dyeing process is evenly distributed. not everyone has the expertise, as an illustration to serve as many as 120 home industries is only done by 12 experts, so all home industries have not been facilitated evenly. Therefore, all the coloring process is carried out without the help of machines. The objectives of this activity are: (a) to produce a dyeing machine; (b) carry out training in the operation of the equipment. This dissemination method is carried out by designing and transferring knowledge in the form of short training with demonstrations and guided discussions. The result of this first service has produced a textile dyeing machine that is suitable for use in the dyeing process. The two results of the training carried out received a positive response from the community who took part in the training with the results of partners’ responses to the ease of the tools getting a percentage of 80%, partners' responses to the guidance provided by the instructors getting a percentage of 90%, partners' responses to the content and methods of guidance getting a percentage of 90%, partner responses of the knowledge/techniques that have been mastered obtain a percentage of 90%. Keywords— Textiles, Woven Fabrics, Productivit
