The COVID-19 pandemic situation has hampered wound care services. Apart from contact restrictions, patient and family anxiety to visit hospitals and health workers having diabetic wound care skills are still inadequate. Only 1 unit of First Level Health Facility (FKTP) has succeeded in developing a diabetic wound care polyclinic; thus, the percentage of diabetic wound sufferers who receive standard services is only 1 percent. This study aims to determine predictors of graduate performance after wound care training with blended learning methods in Jakarta Province in 2021. Descriptive quantitative method using a cross-sectional approach and primary data were collected using structured questionnaire survey technique. The study was carried out from August to September 2021. The population was all 44 graduates of wound care training with the blended learning method. The result shows that the correlation value (r) between age and performance score was 0.43 with a P-value of 0.007. It means that there is a statistically significant relationship between age and the graduate performance score. There is also a significant relationship between motivation and performance scores, with the correlation value (r) between motivation scores and performance scores of 0.37, P-value of 0.020. The dominant factor that affects graduate performance is motivation, with a P-value of 0.02. The magnitude of the variation that affects the dependent variable is 0.129, meaning that the motivation variable can explain 12-13 percent of the variation in the graduate performance score.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between: 1) laboratory-determined cycling peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) and AS performance in a new underwater swim test (UWST), and 2) cycling VO2max and ventilatory threshold (VT) in cycling and performance score during a simulated AS solo routine. Trained artistic swimmers (n=15, 15.8±0.8 yrs., height: 169.1±5.4 cm, body mass: 57.1±6.3 kg) completed (1) a maximal incremental cycle test to exhaustion to determine VO2max, (2) the UWST which comprised 275 m of freestyle and underwater breaststroke, and (3) a simulated solo competition where artistic swimming elements were evaluated by five FINA judges. There was a significant correlation between mean element score and (i) VO2max (48±4 mL. kg.min−1, r=0.44, p=0.05), and (ii) UWST (r=−0.64, p=0.005). However, there was an insignificant relationship between cycling ventilatory threshold and mean element score (r=–0.36, p=0.10). In addition, the results demonstrate a significant relationship between HR at the ventilatory threshold and peak HR of the UWST (r=–0.64, p=0.014). The results of this study demonstrate that VO2max is an important determinant of AS performance. In addition, the UWST appears to be a useful indicator of AS performance.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of staff on the performance of public universities in north rift region, Kenya.Methodology: The author in this paper adopts a cross sectional survey research design to achieve the study objective. Taking into consideration a population of three hundred teaching and nonteaching staff from public universities headquartered in the North Rift region, a sample size of 170 respondents from the target population was selected. The study sample was obtained through stratified proportionate sampling technique. Data collection was done by use of questionnaires. Data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics presented in form of frequency, mean and standard deviation, and correlation and multiple regressions respectively. Findings: it was found out that Staff perspective had a significantly positive effect on performance of public universities in North Rift region Kenya. This positive impact was attributed to the compensation plan used by the universities to boosts morale of staff which in turn improves their performance. Notably the study demonstrated a low rate of resignation among university staff implying high staff commitment. It was also clear that human resource practices positively affect strategy implementation with majority of the respondents agreeing that rewarding is based on merit. The overall mean effect of staff on performance was 74.4%. Correlation results revealed a statistically significant and positive relationship with performance of the universities (R2=0.339, p<0.000). Staff was therefore a good predictor of performance of public universities as supported by an F statistic of 11.944 and the reported p value (0.000) which was less than the conventional probability of 0.05 Nonetheless, the regression results confirmed that there was a significant relationship between staff and performance of public universities in North Rift Kenya with a beta coefficient of 0.246 and significance of (p=0.002). The study thus failed to reject the hypothesis that stated: there is a significant relationship between staff and performance of public universities in North Rift Kenya.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Public universities should practice the culture of providing feedback to the employees on their performance. The university management ought to develop strategies that are fully aligned to the human resource professionalism the government should appraise the universities on the extent of their strategic plan’s implementations. This is to encourage universities to transform their plans into action by showing evidence of what has been achieved in the time period that was proposed. Further research can be done to establish other factors that contribute to strategy implementation and performance in universities. In addition, more research should also be carried out to investigate the effect of the external environment on the implementation of strategic plans in public universities or other organizations.

Introduction. Wound cleansing for diabetic wound care always used 0.9% of NaCl or other commercial solutions. Currently, the use of guavas leaves extract (Psidium guajava L) as an alternative wound cleansing solution has been started to be introduced as a part of complementary nursing. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of commercially wound cleansing solution of 0.9% NaCl and guavas leaves extract in wound healing process of diabetes mellitus patients. Methods. This study used six respondents as a sample, by using quasi experiment methods of 4 times wound cleansing.  In this experiment, the control group used NaCl 0.9% while a group of sample used guavas leaves extract as wound cleansing solutions. Result. The experimental result revealed that there was a significant result between types of wound cleansing solution effectiveness in NaCl 0.9% with an extract guavas leaves for some wound characteristics (Presentation of wound slough P value: 0.043; presentation of wound granulation Pvalue: 0.037 (α=0.05)). However, There were no significant result of effectiveness comparison between wound cleansing solution (NaCl 0.9% and Guavas Leaves Extract) for wound dimension and epithelial tissue characteristics (Wound wide Pvalue:0.184; wound long Pvalue: 0.361; epithelial tissue presentation Pvalue:0.072 (α=0.05). Discussion. These results confirmed that guava leaves extract can serve as an alternative wound cleansing solution as commercial wound cleansing solution such as 0.9% NaCl. Keywords: Guavas leaves extract, Diabetes mellitus, wound care, wound cleansing solution

Background: Job stress is a very disruptive thing to work. Work-induced stress in particular results in a decrease in work productivity, such as low worker performance, increased absenteeism, decreased work morale, increased worker turnover which can cause the loss of a lot of working time causing the cost of compensation for workers to increase in capital. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors associated with work stress on the employees of the Eye Hospital of North Sulawesi Province. Methode: This study was an observational study with a cross sectional study design. The population in this study were all employees of the Eye Hospital of North Sulawesi Province. The sample in this study was a total population of 70 employees. The variables in this study were age, marital status, income, years of service and work load, with the dependent variable being work stress. The research data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis and chi-square statistical calculations. Presentation of data is made in table and narrative form. Result: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age and work stress with p value = 0.031, there was a significant relationship between tenure and work stress with a value of p = 0.004, there was a significant relationship between workload and work stress with p = 0.003, there is no significant relationship between marital status and work stress with a value of p = 0.077 and there is no significant relationship between income and work stress with a value of p = 0.473. The result of multivariate analysis showed that workload (p = 0.002; OR = 21.667) was the most dominant factor affecting work stress on the employees of the Eye Hospital of North Sulawesi Province. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that age, years of service and workload are factors that are associated with work stress.

Background: Former leprosy patients are a group of people that are at risk of anemia. Anemia in the former leprosy can be caused by daily food consumption and coffee drinking behavior. This study aimed is to determine the relationship between the levels of nutrients and habitual coffee consumption and the incidence of anemia in the former leprosy patients.Methods: Design of this study is cross sectional. There were 115 former leprosy patients, all of whom were selected as subjects for this study. The nutrient consumption data were obtained through filling out 24-hour food recall forms; the coffee drinking habit was obtained through questionnaire; and the incidence of anemia were obtained through Hb level examination by using Digital Acute Check. The data obtained were analyzed with Chi-Square statistical test and binary logistic regression.Results: Protein intake (p value 0.003), iron intake (p value 0.001), and habitual coffee consumption (p value 0.035) have significant relationship with the incidence of anemia. While energy intake (p value 0.833) and Vit. C intake (p value 0.516) have no significant relationship with the incidence of anemia in former leprosy patients. Iron intake is a dominant factor affecting the occurrence of anemia in former leprosy patients.Conclusions: Nutrient consumption is lower than the recommended dietary allowance, especially iron. The daily coffee consuption can inhibit iron absorption. Thus, it appears that insufficient levels of protein and iron, and the consumption of coffee are the factors that affect the occurrence of anemia in the former leprosy patients.

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes Gending Karesmen that had been living and developing in Priangan, cen- tered in Bandung City, in 1904 to 1942. Gending Karesmen emerged as Tunil Tembang which came up in 1904. In the begining, the performance of Tunil Tembang was plain and simple, then it gradu- ally became more complex and specific. The story, dance, music, and performance were established. The music became dominant factor related to the song (tembang) performed by the player in every dialog expression. Gending Karesmen grew well, almost without any hindrance, because it was sup- ported by the local officials (e.g. Bupati) and intellectuals. It was also because of the socio culture, economic and politic atmosphere in Priangan that were conducive in that period. Keywords: Gending Karesmen, Ménak Traditional Theater  ABSTRAK Tulisan ini menganalisis tentang Gending Karesmen yang hidup dan berkembang di Priangan, yang berpusat di Kota Bandung, pada tahun 1904-1942. Gending Karesmen mun- cul sebagai Tunil Tembang yang berkembang pada tahun 1904. Pada mulanya pertunjukan Tunil Tembang itu polos dan sederhana, kemudian secara bertahap menjadi lebih kompleks dan spesifik. Cerita, tarian, musik, dan pertunjukannya menjadi berkembang. Musiknya menjadi faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan lagu (tembang) yang dimainkan oleh pemainnya dalam setiap ekspresi dialog. Gending Karesmen berkembang dengan baik, hampir tidak ada hambatan, karena didukung oleh para pejabat setempat (misalnya Bu- pati) dan intelektual. Hal ini juga dikarenakan sosial budaya, suasana ekonomi dan politik di Priangan yang kondusif pada periode tersebut. Kata kunci: Gending Karesmen, Teater Tradisional Ménak

<p><em>Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia) that occurs due to impaired insulin secretion, decreased insulin action, or a result of both. Self-acceptance is the ability and desire of individuals to live with all the characteristics themselves against diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of diabetic ulcer treatment on self-acceptance of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients at Asri Wound Care Center Medan. This study uses quantitative research methods with a quasi-experimental design through the one-group pretest-posttest design approach. The population in the study as many as 20 people, with sampling techniques using saturated sampling, the research sample amounted to 20 people. This study uses a nonparametric statistical test that is paired t-test. The results of research on self-acceptance of patients with type II diabetes mellitus before treatment of diabetic ulcers showed that the majority of self-acceptance was not good, and the self-acceptance of patients after treatment of diabetic ulcers obtained the majority of good self-acceptance. The effectiveness of diabetic ulcer treatment on self-acceptance of type II diabetes mellitus patients obtained significance value p-value = 0.00 (p-value &lt;0.05) then H0 was rejected. This means that there are differences in self-acceptance of type II Diabetes mellitus patients before and after diabetic ulcer treatment at Asri Wound Care Center Medan. Future researchers are expected to discuss more deeply about the factors that affect the self-acceptance of diabetes mellitus patients who are undergoing treatment for diabetic ulcers.</em></p>
