ABSTRACT
In the event of a coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, those in need will be helped through a government aid program known as the Village Cash Direct Assistance beneficiary fund (abbreviated BLT). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread to nearly every corner of the globe, citizens' activities around the world have been hindered, especially those involving employment to support life's basic needs. The local economy suffers as a result of people losing their jobs. They have no idea how they will pay for the necessities of life. So, in order to help the locals, the government set up a Village BLT fund support program. Limag Village is one of the settlements that plans to ask for help. When the final decision is made, the village head will choose from the list of households that fit the criteria. A decision support system is one option for achieving clear and exact findings based on the strategy utilized. For a ranking-based decision-support system, the VIKOR approach (Vise Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) is an excellent choice. In order to reduce the amount of time spent on guesswork when choosing which communities will benefit from BLT Desa money, this study aims to examine and quantify the results of decisions made using criteria that match those criteria. With the use of the following five criteria: profession (K1), number of dependents (K2), social safety net (K3), medical history (K4), and family card (K5): (K5). The results show that the VIKOR approach is able to obtain ranking values from the ten samples it was applied to.. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The principal difficulty of long-term tuberculosis (TB) treatment is patient nonadherence. During pandemic, nonadherence of TB treatment affects mortality since TB patients are more vulnerable to COVID-19. AIM: The purpose of this concept analysis was to clarify and analyze the concept of treatment adherence. METHODS: Analysis concept was conducted using the Walker and Avant’s method from relevant studies published by EBSCO, PubMed, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, and Springer in 2003–2021. RESULTS: Five attributes characterizing the concept of treatment adherence from thirteen articles were identified: individual behavior, relationship, mutual participation, shared decision-making, and agreement. CONCLUSION: This concept analysis revealed that TB treatment adherence involves many aspects, including the patient, family, society, health professionals, and policy. These findings help to understand the contribution of major attributes, thereby promoting the body of knowledge on TB and contributing to its elimination during COVID-19 pandemic. © 2021 Kristina Lisum, Agung Waluyo, Astuti Yuni Nursasi.
