ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: A comprehensive screening at delivery revealed that roughly 14% of pregnant women who tested positive for COVID-19 did not exhibit any symptoms. The SARS-CoV-2 antigen swab test is frequently utilized as a diagnostic technique. Inadequate implementation of health protocol compliance can enhance the vulnerability of a community to the COVID-19 virus, according to previous findings. This suggests that these health protocol compliance and the vaccination program are important for preventing and controlling the spread of the virus. AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship of vaccination history and health protocol compliance with positive antigen swab results among pregnant women at the Community Health Center in Medan. METHOD(S): This is a cross-sectional and observational study that was conducted in February 2022 at the Community Health Center in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Two hundred pregnant women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria make up the sample population. Antigen sampling for SARS-CoV-2 was performed in the Pramita laboratory. Following the collection and processing of sample and antigen swab data, IBM SPSS version was utilized to conduct statistical analysis. RESULT(S): The result showed that four of the pregnant women were infected with COVID-19, and they accounted for 2% of the sample population. The health protocol carried out by pregnant women was not significantly related to the swab results. Therefore, vaccination history had no significant association with COVID-19 symptoms, but people who received vaccines had more negative swab test results compared to those who did not, where three out of four positive samples were unvaccinated. CONCLUSION(S): Based on the results, only 2% of pregnant women were infected with COVID-19 at the Community Health Centre in Medan, because this study was carried out when COVID-19 cases had decreased. The statistical analysis results showed that the history of vaccination was not significantly related to SARS-CoV-2 antigen swab results. However, there was a clinical tendency that vaccines can reduce the number of positive cases, where three out of four positive samples were not vaccinated.Copyright © 2023 Sarma Nursani Lumbanraja, Reni Hayati, Khairani Sukatendel, Johny Marpaung, Muhammad Rusda, Edy Ardiansyah.
ABSTRACT
The pandemic COVID-19 has resulted in a serious movement to several activities, one of which is Education. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, learning activities in the classroom are no longer possible. Multi Online Open Course (MOOC) is a solution in creating digital classrooms. There are many classes offered online today. One of Indonesia's popular online subscriptions is CodePolitan, which provides educational services in the field of Information Technology. Previous research found that ease of use was the most influencing factor for students in using e-learning applications. In this study the Technology Acceptance Model is used to measure the level of user adoption when using digital services from CodePolitan. The study was conducted using the five basic constructs of TAM and analyzed through three stages starting from the Outer Model Analysis then the Inner Model Analysis and finally Testing the Hypothesis. The results show that six hypotheses were accepted and have positive significant. The strongest significant relationship is 65.7%, namely the relationship between Ease of Using CodePolitan and Attitudes towards the Use of CodePolitan on Behavioral Intentions of CodePolitan Users. When the CodePolitan application is easily handled, the implication is that it will be chosen by the user to support learning activities. © 2021 IEEE.
