Interaksi antara manusia dengan hewan telah terjadi selama puluhan ribu tahun yang lalu. Interaksi manusia dengan hewan memiliki berbagai efek yang positif terhadap manusia, terutama dalam aspek kognitif dan pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran interaksi manusia dan hewan, hubungan, serta kuatnya hubungan prestasi akademik mahasiswa kedokteran hewan dengan nilai keterikatan interaksi manusia dan hewan menggunakan instrument Pet Attachment and Life Impact Scale (PALS). Subjek dalam penelitian merupakan mahasiswa Program Studi Kedokteran Hewan (PSKH) Universitas Padjadjaran yang memiliki hewan peliharaan dan tinggal bersama atau pernah tinggal bersama hewan peliharaan. Metode penelitian menggunakan teknik survei dengan instrument kuesioner PALS. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Berdasarkan penelitian didapatkan hasil bahwa terdapat Korelasi positif antara prestasi akademik mahasiswa PSKH Unpad dengan nilai keterikatan interaksi manusia dan hewan dengan kekuatan hubungan sebesar r = 0,26 dan p-value = < 0,001. Kuatnya hubungan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa adanya interaksi manusia dan hewan dapat berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan prestasi akademik mahasiswa PSKH Unpad.

AbstractThe child anxiety impact scale-parent version (CAIS-P) is a useful measure to assess the impact of anxiety on a child’s daily life; however, a Japanese version of the CAIS-P has not been developed, and whether the CAIS-P can be utilized in Eastern countries remains unascertained. The purpose of this study was to develop a Japanese version of the CAIS-P and examine its reliability and validity. Parents of 400 children (aged 7 to 15 years) from the Japanese community completed the CAIS-P. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the factor structure of the original CAIS-P, consisting of school activity, social activity, and home/family activity factors, provided a good fit for the Japanese version of the CAIS-P. Estimated Spearman’s correlation coefficients showed moderate correlations between the total and factor scores of the CAIS-P, anxiety symptoms (Spence Child Anxiety Scale-parent version), and depressive symptoms (Child Depression Inventory). Furthermore, the item response theory model revealed that each factor of the CAIS-P is a high information reliable measure for children with high trait anxiety. These results provide support for the Japanese version of the CAIS-P’s factorial validity, convergent validity, and reliability and its potential for application in child anxiety research in Japan.

BACKGROUND & AIM The body of evidence related to higher incidence of breast cancer related lymphedema after breast surgeries concluded compromise Quality of Life (QoL) among women over the past decade. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) in improving QoL among women with Breast cancer related Lymphedema. STUDY DESIGN & PARTICIPANTS A Quasi Experimental study was conducted on women of the age 36-60 years with stage I and II breast cancer related lymphedema at Rehabilitation Department of a tertiary care Hospital. METHODS Total 70 women recruited with lymphedema were assessed at baseline and after treatment on Lymphedema Life Impact Scale. Manual lymphatic drainage technique was applied for 3 days in a week for 6 weeks with a compression bandage for first 4 weeks. RESULTS The findings showed that Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) technique significantly improves the Lymphedema Life Impact Scale score after intervention p <0.05 notably in psychological domain of the scale p=0.0001 furthermore, the percentage of impairment was also reduced significantly from 75.98% to 44.18%.

Registry Report

Participants in the North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) Registry report disability using Performance Scales (PS), which assess eight domains. We aimed to validate the PS fatigue subscale (PSF) using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) as external criteria. We measured correlations between the PSF and age, disease duration and PS subscales to assess construct validity. The PSF correlated strongly with the MFIS (r=0.72, p<0.0001) and FSS (r=0.75, p<0.0001). Correlations between the PSF and age, disease duration were low, indicating divergent validity. Correlations between the PSF and spasticity, sensory and mobility PS scales were moderate, indicating convergent validity. The PSF has adequate criterion and construct validity in MS.

Objective To investigate the psychometric properties of the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29) and to assess the relationship between the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale and the physical and psychological parts of this score. Methods A population-based study identified cases with definite multiple sclerosis (MS) in the north-east region of Ireland. They were examined and completed the MSIS-29. Cases were classified as mild (Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS) 0–3.0), moderate (EDSS 3.5–5.5), or severe (6.0–9.5) MS. Results The 248 participants (82 male, 166 female) had a mean age of 49.1 years (SD 12.4). EDSS ranged from 0 to 9.5 (median 6.0). Data quality was excellent (0.02% missing data), physical and psychological scores spanned the entire range with low floor and ceiling effects. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach’s alpha 0.97 – physical score, 0.93 – psychological score). The convergent validity of the physical impact score of the MSIS-29 with the Kurtzke EDSS was confirmed with a high Spearman’s rank coefficient correlation of 0.63 ( P = 0.01). Physical impact scores for mild, moderate, and severe disability as were statistically different at 25.9%, 48.0%, and 63.9%, respectively. Mean psychological score was non-significantly higher in the moderately disabled group at 47.4% compared with the severely disabled at 44.3% ( P = 0.58). Conclusions The MSIS-29 is an acceptable, reliable, and valid method of recording quality of life. A significant relationship between higher physical impact scores of the MSIS-29 and higher Kurtzke EDSS values suggests that is may be of use in clinical trials to monitor progression.
