ABSTRACT
Introduction: As a primary concern of health issues nowadays, COVID-19 Pandemic needs to be controlled with healthy behavior. Healthy behavior is proactive behavior that helps to maintain and improve a community’s health. The purpose of this study was to explore the support of community leaders in the implementation of healthy behaviors. Methods: The study design was descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection from 15 respondents was conducted online with open questions. The inclusions criteria for this study were active health volunteers and village apparatus, and five years minimum work experience. In contrast, the exclusions criteria were not willing to participate and were unable while collect data. The data were analyzed using a qualitative categorial analysis. Results: The study obtained four categories regarding community leaders’ support in implementing healthy behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic: emotional, informative, reward, and instrumental supports. The focus point was attention, information, reward, and instrumental in complying with healthy behaviors, including compliance with the health protocol of COVID-19. Conclusion: Emotional, informative, reward, and instrumental supports are forms of support that can carry out healthy behaviors. Therefore, community leaders are expected to be role models in the implementation of healthy behaviors. © 2022 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
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 global pandemic, due to having gone on for more than 1 year, has forced countries around the world to take on new habitual adaptations. This includes Indonesia. The application of new norms and their associated adjustments has been applied in all areas that intersect with the public, such as public transportation, places of worship, offices, supermarkets, inns, and restaurants. The control of the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 has been and is carried out by the government so then its spread can be controlled. In reality, on the ground, it is increasingly rampant. Controlling the spread of COVID-19 can be successful if the entire community participates in taking precautions. AIM: The research objective was to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and the behavior of SMKN I students in the effort to prevent COVID-19. METHODS: The type of this research was processed using the descriptive correlative method which describes the relationship between the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the students in an effort to prevent COVID-19. The population of this research was the students majoring in the Pharmacy and Computer and Network Engineering Departments of SMKN 1 Garut. The sample was gathered using the total sampling technique, totaling as many as 160 respondents. The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire. The data analysis method used was Chi-square. RESULTS: The results showed that the level of the students’ knowledge on the efforts needed to prevent COVID-19 was in the sufficient category (72%). Most of the students’ attitude about the prevention of COVID-19 was in the sufficient category (74%). Most of the sufferers’ behavior regarding the prevention of COVID-19 was in the good category (79%). Based on the results of the statistical tests executed using Chi-square, there was found to be a relationship between the students’ knowledge and behavior in an effort to prevent COVID-19 (p = 0.63). There was also found to be a relationship between the students’ attitude and behavior in an effort to prevent COVID-19 (p = 0.83). CONCLUSION: The conclusion was that there was a relationship between the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the students in an effort to prevent COVID-19. © 2021 Nina Sumarni, Laili Rahayuwati, Dadang Purnama, Udin Rosidin, Iwan Shalahuddin, Iwan Suhendar.
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.
