Are smokers rational addicts? Empirical evidence from the Indonesian Family Life Survey

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Indonesia is one of the largest consumers of tobacco in the world, however there has been little work done on the economics addiction of tobacco. This study provides an empirical test of a rational addiction (henceforth RA) hypothesis of cigarette demand in Indonesia.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Four estimators (OLS, 2SLS, GMM, and System-GMM) were explored to test the RA hypothesis. The author adopted several diagnostics tests to select the best estimator to overcome econometric problems faced in presence of the past and future cigarette consumption (suspected endogenous variables). A short-run and long-run price elasticities of cigarettes demand was then calculated. The model was applied to individuals pooled data derived from three-waves a panel of the Indonesian Family Life Survey spanning the period 1993-2000.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The past cigarette consumption coefficients turned out to be a positive with a <it>p</it>-value < 1%, implying that cigarettes indeed an addictive goods. The rational addiction hypothesis was rejected in favour of myopic ones. The short-run cigarette price elasticity for male and female was estimated to be-0.38 and -0.57, respectively, and the long-run one was -0.4 and -3.85, respectively.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Health policymakers should redesign current public health campaign against cigarette smoking in the country. Given the demand for cigarettes to be more prices sensitive for the long run (and female) than the short run (and male), an increase in the price of cigarettes could lead to a significant fall in cigarette consumption in the long run rather than as a constant source of government revenue.</p

How to Improve Patient Handoff Quality for Ensuring Patient Safety: A Systematic Review

Patient handoff is defined as a transfer and acceptance of responsibility for patient care that is achieved through effective communication. Communication breakdown in handoff procedures can lead to serious impacts in the patient’s care, inappropriate treatment, and potential harm to the patient. The aim of this systematic review is to know barriers in handoff process and find strategies to improve patient handoff quality for ensuring patient safety. The current study is systemic review with PRISMA method, retrieved from online databases such as ProQuest and PubMed using keywords ‘patient handoff’ OR ‘patient handover’ AND ‘patient safety’. The period of the study that has been reviewed is three years backwards. Based on this review,potential barriers that can lead to handoff failure are lack of standardized handoff tool, lack of chances for face-to-face communication and the ability to interactive discussion, and lack of staff training and handoff supervision. Several improvement strategies to increase patient handoff quality based on this review are: implementation of standardized verbal and written handoff protocols, face-to-face interaction withactive discussion opportunities, minimal interruptions, accurate and up-to-date information with critical issues highlighted, staff education and training, handoff process supervision, leadership and regulation support. Improvements or impacts on patient safety were only stated in three journals. Barriers in handoff process must be addressed to find recommendation for handoff process improvement. By addressing barriers, patient handoff quality can be increased by several improvement strategies. Further studies are needed to prove the impact of effective patient handoff in reducing sentinel and adverse events. Keywords: patient handoff, patient safety, handoff barrie

Berbagai Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Beban Biaya Obat Pasien Rawat Inap Program Askeskin, di Cirebon Tahun 2005

Askeskin membayar klaim pengobatan rumah sakit untuk penduduk miskin dengan tarif yang ditetapkan. Namun, resep obat tidak terdaftar yang tidak boleh dibebankan pada pasien justru menjadi beban rumah sakit. Inisiatif pimpinan RSUD Gunung Jati menyediakan dana pendamping menjadi beban secara fi-nansial. Pada tahun 2005, rujukan pasien rawat inap kelas III, meningkat 153 % dan beban pasien luar kota meningkat 331 %. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi beban RS menutupi biaya perawatan, khususnya obat non DPHO yang tidak dapat diklaim ke Askes. Penelitian me-nggunakan Sumber data catatan medik, catatan klaim dan studi kualitatif wawancara mendalam. Ditemukan bahwa pasien luar yang dirawat di SMF bedah menghabiskan dana dua kali lebih besar daripada pasien yang berasal dari Cirebon dan dirawat di SMF non Bedah. Lama pasien dirawat berbanding lurus dengan besar biaya yang menjadi beban rumah sakit. Penelitian ini juga menemukan visi dan persepsi institusi terkait tentang tanggung jawab pemda yang tidak-sinkron. Hal ini menyebabkan dana pelayanan kesehatan pasien miskin di RSUD Gunung Jati tidak tersedia. Disarankan untuk membentuk forum bersama antara pemda terkait di wilayah III Cirebon guna menangani tanggung jawab pendanaan kesehatan masyarakat miskin dan mekanismenya. Juga diperlukan sosialisasi efektif tentang obat DPHO kepada dokter di rumah sakit.Kata kunci : Asuransi kesehatan, DPHO, askeskin.AbstractAskes—the health insurance corporation—pay hospitals according to predetermined prices, but the hospital must finance the costs of those non-covered drugs and medical supplies prescription because of prohibition of charging the poor. In Gunung Jati Hospital, funding for the poor from local governments which is the responsibility of local governments is not available. The hospital should finance the gap which in turn putting high financial burden to the hospi-tal. Askeskin removes financial barriers to access inpatient care producing an increase of 153% of the third class hospital inpatient from the level of 2004. The objective of this study is to know the factors related to the high financial burden to the hospital in order to finance non covered drugs and medical supplies. The study used survey method complemented by in depth interview in the qualitative part of the study. This study concludes that the average costs of non-covered services are more than twice more expensive among patients coming from out of Cirebon and hospitalized in surgical wards. In addition, length of stay positively correlated with higher burden to the hospital. Inconsistencies and misunderstanding among policy makers regarding vision and mission of caring the poor resulting to no allocation of fund to the hospital. The researchers suggest that a forum is established to delineate local government responsi-bility and funding for non-covered services to complement the national program of Askeskin. In addition, effective communication to physicians to prescribe from formularium would reduce the financial burden of the hospital.Keywords : Health insurance, DPHO, medicai

People’s Support on Sin Tax to Finance UHC in Indonesia, 2016

AbstractIndonesia has the highest prevalence of smokers with 67% of adult males were smokers. Smoking prevalence among all adults increased sharply from 27% in 1995 to 36.3% in 2013. High consumption of cigarettes has been correlated with low price and excise of cigarettes. Experiences from other countries showed that one of the most effective way to reduce cigarette consumption is by increasing cigarette price and excise. Burden of tobacco related diseases has increased. The health burden will increase claims of JKN or Universal Health Coverage which currently has claim ratio of 115% and the quality of care remain low. The difficulties in collecting contribution from non salaried workers are blamed to contribute the deficit. Many countries have earmarked cigarette excise to supplement financing of (UHC) both in tax-funded system or in social health insurance system. The question is do people support? This study explored the possibility the people’s support to increase cigarette prices and excise to meet financial shortage of the JKN.ObjectivesThis polling conducted to explore cigarette consumption and supports of price increase to finance JKN or UHC.MethodsThis study used telephone polling conducted form December 2015 to January 2016. The sample (n=1,000) was randomly selected using systematic random by the interval of 20,000 of mobile phones numbers. Analysis is focused on how various groups support incrasing cigarette prices and excise. The final analysis is logistic regression to assess any difference in supporting the excise increase.Results and DiscussionThe polling (65.9% males and 3.3% females) showed 41.3% respondents consume 1-2 pack cig­arette per day with spending of IDR 450 – 600 thousands per month. In total, 80.3% respondents support increasing cigarette price and exice to supplement health financing of JKN. The proportion of non smokers who supported the earmarking was higher (83.4% ) compared to smokers (75.9%), but the difference is not significance in the final model. The proportion of smokers who know that cigarette is harmful reached 96.8% but the large majority of them had difficulties to quit smoking. There are plenty of room to mobilize money through increasing price and excise of cigrettes since more than 72.3% of smokers said that they would stop smoking if the price of cigarette is above IDR 50,000 per pack; far above current prices. If the prices of cigarettes are double and the excise level reaching maximum allowable levels, there is potential to increase revenue up to IDR 70 Trillion that is almost equivalent to estimate all claim of JKN in 2016. In the logistic model, all groups of respondents unanimously support increasing prices and excise of cigarettes to finance JKN.ConclusionThe prevalence of cigarette smoking is high because of prices of cigarette is relatively cheap and the excise levels have not reduced consumption. This study found that large majority (80%) of non smokers and 76% smokers supported increasing cigarette prices and excise to supplement financing for the JKN. The potential money to supplement JKN is double of the current revenue of JKN

Cost Effectiveness Analysis Between Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract The number of patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in Indonesia is growing. Increasing prevalence of hypertension and diabe­tes mellitus contributes to higher prevalence of ESRD. The majority of patients (94%) with ESRD are undertaking hemodialysis (HD) at public and private hospitals. However, continuous ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) has been prescribed to small portion of patients with ESRD. The aim of this study was to examine the cost effectiveness between HD and PD on ESRD patients. This study compared 78 HD patients at Hospital X in Bogor and 10 PD patients at Hospital Y in Jakarta. Patient’s quality of life (QoL) was measured using SF 36 questionnaires. The costs were measured by direct medical costs using CBGs prices, direct non-medical costs (transportation, food for patient and family), and indirect medical costs (opportunity costs). The study found that the HD cost per year per patient was IDR 133.4 million and the comparative cost for PD was IDR 81.7 million. The study found lower QoL of HD patients (46.2%) com­pared to QoL of PD patients (90%). In addition, PD patients had significant better quality of physical activities, emotional states, social function, and sanity. The study found the incremental costs for to HD to reach similar emotional states was IDR 2.0 million compared to PD and IDR 1.8 million for extra physical role gained. It is concluded that PD was more cost-effective than HD in achieving a certain level of quality of life among patients with ESRD in two hospitals in Indonesia. Abstrak Jumlah pasien Gagal Ginjal Stadium Akhir (GGSA) di Indonesia terus meningkat. Meningkatnya prevalensi hipertensi dan diabetes mellitus (DM) berkontribusi terhadap prevalensi kasus GGSA. Mayoritas pasien (94%) dengan GGSA menjalani terapi hemodialisis (HD) baik pada Rumah Sakit (RS) swasta ataupun pemerintah. Bagaimanapun, dialisis peritoneal ambula­tori berkelanjutan (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis/CAPD) telah diberlakukan pada sebagian kecil pasien dengan GGSA. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk mengukur efektivitas harga dari HD dan CAPD pada pasien GGSA. Studi memband­ingkan 78 pasien HD di RS X Bogor dan 10 pasien CAPD pada RS Y Jakarta. Kualitas hidup pasien diukur menggunakan kue­sioner 36. Biaya diukur dengan biaya langsung medis (menggunakan harga CBGs), biaya langsung non-medis (transportasi dan biaya makan), serta biaya medis tidak langsung (biaya kesempatan). Studi menunjukkan bahwa HD membutuhkan biaya Rp 133,4 juta per orang per tahunnya, dibandingkan dengan CAPD sebanyak Rp 81,7 juta. Studi menemukan kualitas hidup yang lebih rendah pada pasien HD (46,2%) dibanding CAPD (90%). Selain itu, pasien CAPD memiliki kualitas yang lebih baik dari segi aktivitas fisik, status emosi, fungsi sosial, dan kejiwaan. Studi menemukan bahwa harga inkremental HD, untuk men­capai status emosional yang sama, dibanding CAPD yakni sebanyak 2 juta rupiah; dan 1,8 juta rupiah untuk mencapai peran fisik bila HD dibanding dengan CAPD. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa CAPD lebih efektif dari segi biaya dibanding HD dalam mencapai tingkatan kualitas hidup yang lebih baik pada pasien-pasien GGSA di dua RS di Indonesia

Model Spesifikasi Dinamis Permintaan Rokok: Rasionalkah Perokok Indonesia?

This study estimates a dynamic model specification of demand for cigarette in Indonesia. The objectives are to test the rational addiction hypothesis of cigarettes demand, and to calculate price elasticity of cigarettes in the short-run and long-term. The data for this analysis were aggregate individual data from three-wave a panel surveys of the IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) from 1993-2000. This study explores several econometric approaches, and selects the best fit of several statistical measures. The results indicate that cigarette indeed an addictive good (the lags consumption coefficients are a positive with p-value <1%). Whilts a negative coefficient and significancy of future consumption indicate that smokers are myopic addicts, they are not rational. The study also confirms that the demand is more price sensitive for the long-run than the short-run. The finding of myopic addiction has pratical implications with which policy-makers should re-design current public health campaign against cigarette smoking in the country. Various policy implications of the research findings are also discussed in this article

DIFFERENCES VALUE OF BLOOD UREA NITROGEN AND CREATININE SERUM IN CERVICAL CANCER SQUAMOUS CELL STADIUM IIB-IIIB BEFORE AND AFTER CHEMOTHERAPY PACLITAXEL CISPLATIN FOR SIX CYCLE IN SANGLAH GENERAL HOSPITAL DENPASAR BALI

Objective: The combination of paclitaxel-cisplatin regimen is one of the chemotherapy regimens used at Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar. Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic agent, but the nephrotoxic effects of cisplatin reported that research is needed to see the toxic effect on the kidneys before and after 6 series of paclitaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy. Toxicity assessment of the chemotherapy can be observed by evaluating kidney function from monitoring both blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine serum value.Methods: The research was conducted as an observational study using a prospective cohort method. The research was conducted from January 2016 to June 2016. Patients' follow-up was conducted from the first until the last series of chemotherapy. The data were statistically analyzed with STATA version 14 with paired t-test when the data were normally distributed or the data were analyzed with Wilcoxon test when they were not normally distributed.Results: A total of seven patients were evaluated with both their BUN and creatinine serum values during six series of chemotherapy. Statistically, the BUNand creatinine serum values before the first and after the last paclitaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy series are not statistically significantly different (p&gt;0.05).Conclusion: There are no significant changes of both BUN and creatinine serum values before the first and after the last paclitaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy series in patients with stadium IIB-IIIB squamous cell cervical cancer. Research with larger sample size is essential to provide optimal information for other health-care professionals.Keywords: Cervical cancer, Paclitaxel-cisplatin, Creatinine serum, Blood urea nitrogen
