The Impact

Background: Respiratory symptoms are a characteristic feature present in covid-19 patients, and they usually range from mild to severe. Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. However, there is limited resources that discuss the relation between asthma and prevalence of COVID-19. Aims: Identify the impact of covid19 on asthmatic patients. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted to study the impact of COVID-19 on asthmatic patients, which was conducted using a prepared questionnaire which was distributed online among 300 patients with asthma. After collecting the data, MS Excel was used for data entry while SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis. Results: In this study, we were able to collect data from 311 asthmatic patients in response to our questionnaire. Most of the asthmatic patients were females (67.2%) with a ratio of females: males of 2:1. Moreover, most patients thought that they control their asthma well and only 13.5 % indicated that they had frequent emergency visits because of asthma. The prevalence of COVID-19 in asthmatic patients was 64.3 % where a third of patients needed to go to hospital because of their bad condition, 12.6 % needed to be hospitalized in ICU and 56.4 % needed oxygen. Moreover, severity of COVID-19 symptoms and outcomes are related to the control of asthma where better control of asthma was associated with better outcomes including lower need for ICU admission and oxygen need. Conclusion: Prevalence of COVID-19 in asthmatic patients was much higher than the general population especially in female patients aged between 31-40 years old. Moreover, COVID-19 had more severe outcomes in asthmatic patients including higher prevalence of ICU admission and oxygen need. Poorer outcomes of COVID-19 were associated with poor control of asthma. Key words: Asthma, Covid-19, Western Region, Saudi Arabia

The Impact

Presidential approval ratings are a frequently used barometer of performance and popularity. However, despite recognition of the media age in which we live, little work has examined the impact of television on presidential popularity. Using a 1980 and 1984 television content study, panel data from the 1980 National Election Study and rolling cross-sectional data from the 1984 Continuous Monitoring Study, I compare two American presidents (Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan) commonly seen as having different effectiveness on television. While media effects were not uniformly present during the two presidencies, there was some evidence that television harmed popularity, particularly when the content of news stories and commentary turned negative. I conclude by discussing the ramifications of these results for presidential strategies based on ‘going public’.

The Impact

Objectives: To analyze the association between exposure to mass media and use of contraceptive.Methods: In this cross sectional descriptive study, 387 married males of Hatiya VDC were randomly selected. This study uses semi-structured questionnaire to acquire information regarding background character of respondents and the exposure of family planning message to mass media.Results: Both print and electronic media were found major reproductive health information dissemination tools. Exposure was positively related to age, education level, income, partner approval and discussed family planning with partner. There was no significant difference in exposure based on number of living children.Conclusion: Findings from this study are consistent with the interpretation that mass media promotion of the family planning message motivated sexual partners to discuss use of the contraceptives, and that discussion exerted a strong influence on their intention to use it. The programmatic implications of these findings are that multiple media channels should continue to be used to promote family planning and other reproductive health issues. Priority should be given to media channels that reach large numbers of the intended audience, but supporting channels (such as print and interpersonal communication) should also be included in the media mix.Key words: Mass media; ContraceptivesDOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i1.2928Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.1(1) 2010 p.9-11

Abstrak Pelaksanaan JKN di Indonesia menghadapi berbagai tantangan, dari sisi pemberi layanan kesehatan, pengelola jaminan kesehatan, masyarakat sebagai pengguna, serta pemerintah sebagai regulator program. Berbagai studi telah dilakukan untuk menelaah dampak JKN pada pelayanan kesehatan di Indonesia, namun pemanfaatan hasil studi tersebut untuk menyempurnakan kebijakan masih terbatas. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif eksploratif, yang menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif serta penelaahan dokumen. Desain penelitian adalah cross-sectional dengan pendekatan retrospektif. Sampel penelitian ini adalah seluruh stakeholder kunci yang berada di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Wiyung yang terkait erat dengan pelaksanaan JKN. Analisa dan pengumpulan data dilakukan untuk memvalidasi: informasi dari institusi responden, indepth interview dengan stake holder kebijakan dan pelaksana program, kemudian cek silang oleh enumerator lapangan ke beberapa responden untuk temuan yang memerlukan, dan refleksi tim dalam bentuk pertemuan validasi data. Informasi yang diperoleh dari hasil indepth interview stake holder kebijakan dan pelaksana program, informasi cek silang dari enumerator lapangan maupun data sekunder akan diintegrasikan dengan informasi kualitatif yang terkumpul. Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak semua pengunjung Puskesmas Wiyung telah menjadi peserta BPJS. Sistem administrasi dianggap rumit untuk dipahami dengan mudah oleh masyarakat. Perlu sosialisasi kepada masyarakat tentang kepesertaan BPJS dan penguatan koordinasi dengan pihak BPJS apabila ada masalah anggota kepesertaan pasien BPJS. Kata kunci: implementasi JKN, program JKN, kepesertaan BPJS Abstract Implementation of National Health Insurance (JKN) in Indonesia faces various challenges, from the side of health care providers, health insurance managers, the community as users, and the government as the program regulator. Various studies have been conducted to examine the impact of JKN on health services in Indonesia, but the use of the results of these studies to improve policies is still limited. This type of research is explorative descriptive research, which uses qualitative descriptive methods and document review. The study design was cross-sectional with a retrospective approach. The sample of this study is all key stakeholders in the Wiyung Health Center working area which are closely related to JKN implementation. Analysis and data collection were carried out to validate: information from the respondent's institution, in-depth interviews with policy stakeholders and program implementers, then cross-check by field enumerators to several respondents for findings that needed, and team reflection in the form of data validation meetings. Information obtained from the results of an in-depth interview of policy stakeholders and program implementers, cross check information from field enumerators and secondary data will be integrated with qualitative information collected. The results of the analysis showed that not all visitors to the Wiyung Health Center had become BPJS participants. The administrative system is considered complicated to be easily understood by the community. Need to disseminate information to the public about BPJS membership and strengthening coordination with BPJS if there are problems with membership of BPJS patients.
