Journal club (JC) is an integral part of postgraduate medical education. Although several innovations have been attempted to improve its effectiveness, the influence of the number of sessions remains unexplored. The current study investigated the effect of the number of sessions (one vs. four) of conduction of journal club on critical appraisal skills of postgraduate students at two institutions. A quasi-experimental study was conducted comparing the effectiveness of JC in a one- versus four-session JC format using two objective tests: Critical Appraisal Skills Test (CAST) and Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) score. The degree of changes (pre-JC vs. post-JC session) after each format exposure, association of prescores to postscores, and correlation between the CAST and PICO scores were discerned. CAST score was higher in the four-session format ( P = 0.03), whereas PICO score increased in the single-session format of JC ( P = 0.03). Also, the change in CAST score was higher in the four-session versus single-session JC format ( P = 0.04). We conclude that a four-session format of JC is more effective in augmenting critical appraisal skills of postgraduate students, whereas a single session is sufficient for improving factual knowledge.

The prevalency of hemodialysis patient with depression was high but only a few of patients who experienced the symptoms of the depression were diagnosed and treated. Therefore, the study and treatment of depression is one of the highest priorities in health care in the hemodialysis unit. Although psychological therapy has been widely implemented in hemodialysis patients who were depressed, the effectiveness from psychological therapy particularly applied to hemodialysis patients in Indonesia has not been certainty. This article was intended to assess the effectiveness of psychological therapy on a decline in depression levels in hemodialysis patients. The study of the article was a literature study obtained through data retrieval on four online databases of Pubmed, Ebsco, Cocharane and Scopus with the inclusion criteria have randomized control trial (RCT) designs, full text, published in 2015-2020, and in English. In the search, there were 219 articles found later in the review on abstract according to the research purpose that followed 8 selected articles after quality assessment using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme guide. The 4 types of psychological therapy were cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, hemodialysis self-management and hope therapy are potentially applied in Indonesia. These modifications and combinations of interventions could be suggested as to further research to improve th effectivities of phisicological therapy on hemodyalisis patients who were depressed. Keywords: cognitive behavioral therapy; hemodialysis; hemodialysis self-management; hope therapy; intervention; psychoeducation ABSTRAK Prevalensi pasien hemodialisis yang mengalami depresi masih tinggi tetapi hanya sebagian kecil yang gejala depresinya didiagnosis dan ditangani. Oleh karena itu, kajian dan penanganan terhadap depresi merupakan salah satu prioritas utama dalam pelayanan kesehatan di unit hemodialisis. Meskipun terapi psikologis telah banyak digunakan pada pasien hemodialisis yang mengalami depresi, tetapi belum ada kepastian efektifitas dari terapi psikologis terutama untuk bisa diterapkan pada pasien hemodialisis di Indonesia. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menilai efektifitas terapi psikologis terhadap penurunan tingkat depresi pada pasien hemodialisis. Penelitian artikel ini mengunakan kajian literatur yang diperoleh melalui pencarian pada 4 database online yaitu Pubmed, EBSCO, Cocharane dan Scopus dengan kriteria inklusi memiliki desain Randomized Control Trial (RCT), full text, dipublikasi tahun 2015-2020, dan berbahasa Inggris. Dalam pencarian ditemukan ada 219 artikel, kemudian di telaah yang sesuai dengan tujuan penelitian dan selanjutnya diperoleh 8 artikel terpilih setelah dilakukan penilain kualitas dengan menggunakan panduan Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). 4 jenis terapi psikologis yaitu cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, hemodialysis self- management dan hope therapy berpotensi untuk diterapkan di Indonesia. Modifikasi dan kombinasi dari berbagai intervensi ini disarankan untuk dilakukan pada penelitian selanjutnya untuk lebih meningkatkan efektivitas terapi psikologis pada pasien hemodialisis yang mengalami depresi.
