Self-Management to Change of Perception and Clinical and Pharmacological Knowledge of COVID-19

Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) is caused by a coronavirus 2 that causes severe acute respiratory illness (SARS-CoV2). Coronavirus transmission occurs in the community in Indonesia, with a total of 49.009 instances (at time of writing). This research aims to determine the influence of self-management education on the attitudes and knowledge transfer of COVID-19 patients in an East Java hospital. Between January and July 2020, data was collected from 150 patients who visited a clinic in East Java. A sample was accomplished using a straightforward random sampling approach. The pretest data were collected to determine perspectives and knowledge, followed by the self-management education intervention, and finally, the posttest. The pre-and post-test data were collected using a closed questionnaire, and the results were analyzed using an independent T-test. Perception changes after self-management education intervention were seen only in the treatment group. Positive perceptions had a p = 0.001 significance level, whereas negative perceptions had a p = 0.001 significance level. After the treatment group received self-management instruction, knowledge satisfaction was p = 0.001 and satisfaction with self-management was p = 0.001. Self-management education can alter patients' perceptions and understanding of COVID-19 transmission. In the future, it is vital to do further studies on healthy behaviour awareness and COVID-19 prevention. Also its necessary to improve systems for clinical, pharmaco-logical and medical knowledge for viral infection in societies.

Blended Learning Models to Improve Student Learning Outcomes During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various aspects of life, one of which is education. Direct face-to-face contact needs to be reduced to prevent transmission of COVID-19, while educational institutions must continue to organize learning courses. This study identifies the effect of the blended learning model on learning outcomes of level II students in child-nursing courses during the COVID- 19 pandemic. This study used a pre-experiment, one-group pre-test post-test, the sample was selected using the cluster random sampling method involving 105 students of level II of the Fatmawati Academy of Nursing. Data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software with the Wilcoxon test. The instrument used was a written test consisting of a pre-test and a post-test, a child-nursing procedure skills test. The results showed pre-test mean value is 74.74 and post-test mean value is 80,133. From these results, it can be concluded that there is the use of the blended learning model improved the learning outcomes of child nursing in Fatmawati Nursing Academy students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be seen from the average post-test result value, which is higher than the pre-test result value (p = 0.000).
