ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has prompted higher education institutions at the world to relocate offline classes to online classes, and universities in Indonesia were no exception. Indonesia has already developed online classes, and there were challenges to utilizing it. This study indicates e-learning perceptions’ in knowledge mastery, social competence, and media literacy abilities, also assesses college students’ attitudes toward e-learning. The research methods used with a quantitative m odel, where the sample tested represented the student of 1137 respondents from 43 universities in Indonesia. The study’s findings show a commonly weakness of e-learning was that respondents got a lack interaction with lecturers (57,6%). A mastery of technology is moderate (77.6%), the key reason students implement e-learning is the ease with which they may obtain study resources, e-learning technology enables quick access to information, it made students able developing a favourable attitude based on its utility, self-efficacy, the convenience of use, and student behaviour. It utilized as an evaluation tool by The Higher Education of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. © 2022, North American Business Press. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Background: East Java Area is the epicentre of COVID-19 transmission with the largest number of cases and the highest death rate in Indonesia. This pandemic has created a stigma that can lessen the quality of life. This study was con-ducted to find a model of predictor factors that affect the stigma of society during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This study involved 322 respondents in East Java, Indonesia and used multivariate analysis with the PLS (Partial Least Square) method to determine the relationship between several variables. The studied variables were demographics (age, gender, educational level, and occupation), attitudes, knowledge, behaviour, stigma and acceptance. Result: Stigma since the CO-VID-19 pandemic outbreak was influenced by demographic, knowledge and behaviour factors, while the attitude variable in this study did not affect the occurrence of stigma. Knowledge aspect had a positive relationship with stigma. The higher the knowledge of the respondents in this study, the higher the tendency to produce stigma. Likewise for demographic variables. Meanwhile, behaviour aspect indicated a negative relationship. Conclusion: The factors that influence stigma, starting from the most powerful are behaviour, knowledge and demographics. This model is a recommendation for the government to improve the quality of life of the people and reduce the spread of COVID-19. © 2022 KBCSM, Zagreb.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the order of life in various aspects of life, including the field of education in Indonesia. AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore student perceptions and acceptance of the advantages and disadvantages of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyze the factors that influence these perceptions. METHODS: The research is in the form of a survey using Google forms about the perception and acceptance of online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic for nursing students at universities in Indonesia, a questionnaire sent through WhatsApp and held from July 1, 2021 to July 30, 2021. RESULTS: The many of respondents aged 17–19 years (50%) with Diploma-students (62.9%). The most of them have intermediate-level skills in using information technology (82.2%). The platform that is often used is Zoom meeting. The advantages of online learning are that students state that they can study from home (22.2%) and easily access online sources of material (19.9%) and can obtain recordings of each lesson (18.6%). Constraints that are often faced are technical problems (24.6%), very minimal interaction with lecturers (18.4%), and very minimal interaction between students (17.5%). Age and skills in using technology, information and communication have a significant effect on students’ perceptions of online learning (p < 0.05). Most respondents have a negative perception (52.2%) about online learning. CONCLUSION: Although there are several advantages to online learning, students’ perceptions of the learning process are negative, meaning that they are happier and still want face-to-face learning.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Pneumopericardium (PPC) is one of the rarest pulmonary air leak syndromes, but the incidence is the highest in the neonatal period. Risk factors include premature infants with respiratory distress (RD) syndrome, receiving active resuscitation, meconium aspiration syndrome, and aggressive mechanical ventilation. Several cases have also been reported related to COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a female newborn with a birth weight of 3300 grams a COVID-19 confirmed 35-year-old G3P2A0 mother. The baby was not crying at born and the amniotic fluid was stained green. The baby experienced RD and was intubated. A babygram was performed at the age of 5 h with the impression of a too deep endotracheal tube, neonatal pneumonia, and PPC. COVID-19 RT-PCR examination of the baby was positive. There were no signs of cardiac tamponade, so it was decided to take conservative and supportive management. CONCLUSION: Resolution of PPC was found on repeated babygram 26 h later. The baby was then discharged after 19 days of treatment.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The 2019 coronavirus disease has been declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic that has spread throughout the world since March 2020.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The presence of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is very important to produce an immune response that slows down the pandemic. AIM: This study aims to find out more about the perspective of the Indonesian people which is predicted to affect vaccine acceptance by the public. METHODS: Quantitative research was conducted using an online survey via a Google form. The survey was conducted from January to February 2021. RESULTS: There were 225 respondents. The attitude of the community towards the COVID-19 vaccination program, almost all respondents know the free vaccination program (94.4%) and know the purpose of the program (91.8%). There were 23% of respondents who felt that after being vaccinated they would be free from COVID-19 infection and 2.4% stated that they no longer needed to apply health protocols after being vaccinated. There were 8.2% who did not agree with the reasons they did not know its effectiveness, were worried about the side effects and were unsure about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine. CONCLUSION: In general, self-confidence, comfort, calculation of benefits versus disadvantages, and shared responsibility, influence a person’s decision to refuse or accept the vaccine.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred around the world with infections that spread so fast has changed patterns of life, including social, economic, education, and health. The impact of the pandemic has changed the health system and requires new policies that can adapt to these conditions. K.R.M.T. WongsonegoroHospital, Semarang City, Indonesia, which is a referral hospital for Covid-19 patients, needs to prepare health infrastructure in COVID-19 services. We report the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical service activities and improving the quality of human resources, especially health workers in the Central Surgical Installation. The hospital is preparing a special operating room for COVID-19 patients so that it does not spread to health workers. There are 18 surgeons and 7 anesthetists. Assisted by 30 surgical nurses and 7 anesthetic nurses. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 case in Indonesia in March 2020, surgery is only carried out in emergency cases and has postponed elective surgery. So that there will be a 50% decrease in the number of surgical services in 2020 compared to 2019. Human resources involved in COVID-19 patient surgery activities must also be trained in knowledge in how to wear and remove Personal Protective Equipment, handling surgical linen and know the flow of patients into and out of the room surgery.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Purpose. This study aims to determine the problems faced by universities in Indonesia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. And also, to identify the most widely used learning platforms, the constraints and to profer solutions to them. Methodology. The qualitative-descriptive methodology used was NVivo 12 software. Furthermore, the purposive sampling technique was utilized, consisting of 40 universities in Indonesia with 200 participants. The data were collected through Focus Group Discussions, conducted virtually on Zoom and Google Meet. The questions ranged from the experiences of the lecturers while using the online teaching programs, to the types of platform used, the challenges faced, and the solutions provided. Results. The data were obtained from 16 online learning media platforms, namely Whatsapp, Zoom, Google Meets, Edmodo, Google Classroom, Video Call. Email, E-learning, Webex, Facebook, Schoology, Padlet, Microsoft Team, Moodle, Blog, and Youtube. The most used platform was WhatsApp with 51 users, I.e., 25.5%, followed by Zoom meeting 44 (22.0%), Google Classroom 29 (1.5%), Google Meets 28 (14.0%). Email 18 (9.0%), E-learning 12 (6.0%), Youtube 4 (2.0%), Microsoft Teams 3 (1.5%), Facebook, Voice / Video Call, Webex with 1.0% each, and Blog, Edmodo, Moodle Padlet had 0.5% each . The problems encountered were an unstable signal, limited data quota, and weak internet connection. Conclusion: The biggest online learning platform during the pandemic was Whatsapp because it was the easiest to access and operate. The problem most faced was an unstable signal, especially in mountainous areas. The solution to this, is that the government needs to ensure that students have access to the best teaching and learning, fast internet, and increase the network to villages. Moreover, they should also establish good cooperation between the central and local government, and provide human resources for virtual learning.
ABSTRACT
COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to a global pandemic affecting persons of all ages. Respiratory failure can occur in adults particularly the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. Limited data are available for preterm and infant with COVID-19. Pediatric data demonstrate that children of all ages are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and that infants under 1 year of age SARS-CoV-2 are at risk for severe disease although this is still is a relatively rare outcome. The SARS-CoV-2 caused a spectrum manifestations ranging from mild to severe respiratory tract infection. We described the first case of preterm infant SARS-CoV-2 infection in the city of Semarang, Indonesia. This case diagnosed four weeks after birth and manifesting with severe respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation support and then recovered.
ABSTRACT
The emergency severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection;and now known as COVID-19 has now spread throughout the world with important consequences is the management of pregnancy, maternal and child health, and mother-child contact. Breastfeeding is a natural event for mothers who have given birth. Breastfeeding will improve the health and well-being of both mother and baby and reduce the risk of neonatal infection and other pathogenic causes that might result in serious illness. To date, there is no evidence to confirm the vertical transmission of COVID-19 from an infected pregnant fetus. It is known that respiratory droplets during breastfeeding or when in close contact with a baby an infected mother can transmit the COVID-19 virus to infants. Therefore, women who are ensured COVID-19 must comply with standard precautionary procedures for contact with breastfeeding. Breast milk is a natural food for babies. Breast milk does not only contain nutrients, such as protein, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and other elements that are very important to meet the nutritional needs of infants and ensure they can grow and develop normally. Breast milk also contains many components related to immunity. Some of these compounds provide passive protection which in the digestive tract, respiratory tract, prevents pathogenic bacteria and thus can protect breastfed infants from invasive infections in infants. Many studies show that transmission of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection is not through breast milk, but there are fears of transmission to infants while breastfeeding. So it needs to be considered by looking at various factors and needs special protocols so that the mother and baby stay healthy.
ABSTRACT
In January 2020, the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection outbreak in China then spread progressively to other countries and WHO declared it a public health emergency that was of international concern. Among the countries in Asia affected outside China include Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 February 2020, announced a new name for epidemic diseases caused by the 2019-novel coronavirus as coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Here, we report a case of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) which was first confirmed in the city of Semarang, Indonesia. This case report reveals the natural journey of patients with COVID-19 who were treated in hospital and then recovered, which might be a good example of medical treatment.
