The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had multilevel effects on non-COVID-19 health and health care, including deferral of routine cancer prevention and screening and delays in surgical and other procedures. Health and health care use has also been affected by pandemic-related loss of employer-based health insurance, food and housing disruptions, and heightened stress, sleep disruptions and social isolation. These disruptions are projected to contribute to excess non-COVID-19 deaths over the coming decades. At the same time municipalities, health systems and individuals are making changes in response to the pandemic, including modifications in the environmental to promote health, implementation of telehealth platforms, and shifts towards greater self-care and using remote platforms to maintain social connections. We used a multi-level biopsychosocial model to examine the available literature on the relationship between COVID-19-related changes and breast cancer prevention to identify current gaps in knowledge and identify potential opportunities for future research. We found that COVID-19 has impacted several aspects of social and economic life, through a variety of mechanisms, including unemployment, changes in health care delivery, changes in eating and activity, and changes in mental health. Some of these changes should be reduced, while others should be explored and enhanced.

The application of social networks in the health domain has become increasingly prevalent. They are web-based technologies which bring together a group of people and health-care providers having in common health-related interests, who share text, image, video and audio contents and interact with each other. This explains the increasing amount of attention paid to this topic by researchers who have investigated a variety of issues dealing with the specific applications in the health-care industry. The aim of this study is to systematize this fragmented body of literature, and provide a comprehensive and multi-level overview of the studies that has been carried out to date on social network uses in healthcare, taking into account the great level of diversity that characterizes this industry. To this end, we conduct a scoping review enabling to identify the major research streams, whose aggregate knowledge are discussed according to three levels of analysis that reflect the viewpoints of the major actors using social networks for health-care purposes, i.e., governments, health-care providers (including health-care organizations and professionals) and social networks’ users (including ill patients and general public). We conclude by proposing directions for future research.

Cakupan imunisasi terbukti dapat menurunkan secara signifikan kejadian kesakitan dan kematian yang diakibatkan penyakit tersebut, tetapi di Indonesia cakupan tersebut tergolong rendah.Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui hubungan karakteristik ibu dengan status imunisasi anak di Indonesia. Disain yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah potong lintang dengan sampel anak yang berumur antara 1-2 tahun yang tinggal di wilayah Indonesia. Sumber data sekunder yang digunakan adalah Riskesdas Depkes tahun 2007/08. Proporsi anak usia 12-24 bulan yang mendapat imunisasi lengkap adalah 56,2 % (95% CI :55,1-57,3). Pendidikan ibu dan pendidikan suami ditemukan berhubungan secara bermakna dengan status imunisasi dasar pada anak. Hasil analisis multi-level menemukan bahwa kontribusi variabel level kabupaten (92,5 %) jauh lebih besar daripada level individu (7,5 %). Disarankan pemerintah bersama masyarakat berupaya untuk meningkatkan pendidikan. Departemen Kesehatan dan sektor terkait disarankan menyusun pedoman upaya memobilisasi imunisa-si dengan sasaran penyuluhan dan kampanye imunisasi secara tepat.Kata kunci: Perilaku, status imunisasi anak, analisis multilevel.AbstractThe escalation on the immunization coverage has been proved to significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality of the immunized diseases. However, in Indonesia the coverage of immunization is still low. The research purpose is to understand the role of mother’s characteristics to child immunization status in Indonesia. This is an advance analysis of Riskesdas data 2007/2008. Sample of the research is children age 12-24 months. The results showed that only56.2% children had had complete immunization. Multivariate analysis shows that characteristic factors, such as mother’s and husband’s education are sig-nificant to child immunization status. The result of Multilevel Analysis shows that the role of characteristic factors to child immunization status is 7.5% and the role of district level is 92.5%. Based on this result research, it is important for government to continuously improving education, immunization knowledge and encourage the utilization of health care especially immunization services. Ministry of Health and related sectors are supposed to arrange orientation program for immunization mobilization.Keywords: Behavior, child immunization status, multilevel analysis.
