Background : The hospital food acceptance is still a serious problem. The patient’s acceptance is indicated by the least amount of plate waste. High plate waste causes an intake incompatibility with nutritional needs, which ultimately affects malnutrition. The patient’s plate waste in obstetric and surgical room is still high ≥20%. The distribution timetable and food taste maybe a contributing factor.Objectives : To analyzed the correlation of distribution timetable and food taste with patient’s plate waste at obstetric and surgicall room in dr. Soebandi Hospital, JemberMethods: This study was an analytical survey with a cross sectional design. The sample was 51 subjects, taken by a purposive sampling. Sample were obstetric and surgical patients aged 18-60 years, received regular food and were in a conscious. The distribution timetable was obtained by observing the accuracy of food distribution time span from the kitchen of nutrition instalation untill food arrived at the patient for 3 days. Food taste was obtained through interviews and questionnaires. Plate waste was measured by visual comstock. Data were analyzed by Rank Spearman test.Results : The average plate waste of patients is 27.6%. The plate waste in male and female patient was significantly different (p=0.001). 52.9% subjects with large amounts of plate waste, get hospital food with the right distribution time. The distribution timetable wasn’t significantly correlated with plate waste (p=0.218). Subjects who considered their food taste good, almost all (71.4%) left little food. There was a significant positive correlation between taste of food and plate waste (p=0.001; r=0.471).Conclusions: Food distribution timetable isn’t related to patient’s plate waste. However, food taste is correlated with plate waste. The better of taste food, the less plate waste.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Penerimaan makanan rumah sakit masih menjadi masalah serius. Daya terima pasien ditunjukkan dengan banyak sedikitnya makanan tersisa. Tingginya sisa makanan menyebabkan ketidaksesuaian asupan dengan kebutuhan gizi yang akhirnya berdampak malnutrisi. Sisa makanan pasien di ruang obgyn dan bedah masih tinggi ≥20%. Jadwal distribusi dan citarasa makanan kemungkinan menjadi faktor penyebabnya.Tujuan : Menganalisis hubungan jadwal distribusi dan citarasa makanan dengan sisa makanan pasien di ruang perawatan obgyn dan bedah RSD. dr Soebandi Jember.Metode : Jenis penelitian ini survey analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional study. Sampel berjumlah 51 orang, diambil dengan teknik purposive samping. Sampel adalah pasien obsgyn dan bedah berumur 18-60 tahun, mendapat makanan biasa dan kondisi sadar. Jadwal distribusi didapatkan dengan mengamati ketepatan waktu distribusi makanan mulai dari dapur instalazi gizi hingga makanan sampai kepada pasien selama 3 hari. Citarasa makanan diperoleh melalui wawancara dan kuesioner. Pengukuran sisa makanan menggunakan visual comstock. Data dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Rank Spearman.Hasil : Rata-rata sisa makanan pasien di ruang obgyn dan bedah 27,6%. Sisa makanan pada pasien laki-laki dan perempuan berbeda signifikan (p=0,001). Sebanyak 52,9% pasien yang sisa makanannya banyak, mendapatkan makanan dengan jadwal distribusi yang tepat. Jadwal distribusi tidak berhubungan signifikan dengan sisa makanan (p=0,218). Subyek yang menilai citarasa makanannya baik, hampir semuanya (71,4%) menyisakan sedikit makanan. Terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan antara citarasa makanan dengan sisa makanan (p=0,001; r=0,471).Kesimpulan : Jadwal distribusi makanan tidak berhubungan dengan sisa makanan pasien. Namun, citarasa makanan berhubungan dengan sisa makanan. Semakin baik citarasa makanan semakin sedikit sisa makanan.

Background: Intrathoracic Lymphadenopathy (ITLN) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected patients may have various etiologies and prognoses. Etiologies of ITLN can be distinguished based on the distribution of enlarged lymph nodes. Sometimes tuberculosis (TB) is the first sign of underlying HIV infection. Objective: We sought to determine ITLN distribution and associated pulmonary findings in TB/HIV co-infection using Computed Tomography (CT) scan. Methods: In this retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study, chest CT scans of 52 patients with TB/HIV co-infection were assessed for enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes (>10 mm in short axis diameter), lymphadenopathy (LAP) distribution, calcification, conglomeration, the presence of hypodense center and associated pulmonary abnormalities. LAP distribution was compared in TB/HIV co-infection with isolated TB infection. Results: Mediastinal and/or hilar LAP were seen in 53.8% of TB/HIV co-infection patients. In all cases, LAP was multinational. The most frequent stations were right lower paratracheal and subcarinal stations. Lymph node conglomeration, hypodense center and calcification were noted in 25%, 21.4% and 3.5% of patients, respectively. LAP distribution was the same as that in patients with isolated TB infection except for the right hilar, right upper paratracheal and prevascular stations. All patients with mediastinal and/or hilar adenopathy had associated pulmonary abnormalities. Conclusion: All patients with TB/HIV co-infection and mediastinal and/or hilar adenopathy had associated pulmonary abnormalities. Superior mediastinal lymph nodes were less commonly affected in TB/HIV co-infection than isolated TB.

AbstractBackgroundAdolescent girls are vulnerable to many problems, undernutrition being the most common. This results in growth restriction resulting in stunting, wasting, underweight and last but not the least iron-deficiency anaemia. Nutritional needs are high during puberty which later leads to complications during pregnancy and its outcomes.Materials and methodsA field based cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the nutritional status of the girls and to determine the various factors responsible for undernutrition. After clearance from the Institution Ethical Committee (IEC) and permission from Child Development Programme Officer (CDPO), the study was conducted in the anganwadi centres (AWC) of urban slums in the field practice area of the Department of Community Medicine from the 1st October 2014 to the 31st October 2016. All the adolescent girls enlisted in the seven anganwadi centres were included as study subjects with their consent. A pre-designed, pre-tested and semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data on following sections. (a) socio-demographic profile and (b) nutritional status. Dietary intake was taken using the 24-h recall method. Anthropometry was measured and haemoglobin (Hb) was estimated. SPSS version 21 was used for descriptive and analytic statistics.ResultsAmong the 160 girls 98(61.3%), 69(43.1%), 53(33.1%) were underweight, stunted and wasted, respectively. Anaemia was present among 144(90%) of the girls.ConclusionStrict monitoring of weekly iron and folic acid supplementation (WIFS) as well as nutrition education are essential measures to solve the problem of undernutrition among adolescent girls.

Background: With the advent of anesthesia, surgery is no longer a race against the clock and surgeons. Many studies in the past have demonstrated limited knowledge among patients about various aspects of anesthesia.Objectives: To assess the awareness and concern of elective surgical patients towards anesthesia.Methodology: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted over two months’ period in adult patients of age eighteen years and above. Two hundred surgical patients accessing services at the pre-anesthesia check-up clinic were interviewed using 12 questions assessing demographic characteristics, educational status and their knowledge about anesthesia.Results: Out of 200 patients, only 32% knew that anesthesiologists provide anesthesia. It was found that 63% didn’t have any knowledge about the types of anesthesia. The most common fear among the participants about anesthesia was the fear of pain during surgery.Conclusion: The study showed poor knowledge of patients regarding anesthesia.

Introduction. The Royal Monarchy in Saudi Arabia decreed that all sectors of the workforce would be subject to a policy of “Saudisation” to reduce the reliance on the expatriate workforce and to reduce the unemployment rate of Saudi nationals (Al-Mahmoud et al., 2012).Methodology. A cross-sectional design was chosen to investigate the research questions. The population of this study comprised Saudi Registered Nurses working in MOH hospitals in Riyadh which is the main health care provider in Saudi Arabia (Aboul-Enein, 2002; MOH, 2009).Results and Findings. A total number of 1,198 questionnaires were distributed and 61.2% (n=741) were returned. The findings of the study showed that the questionnaires were collected from an equal portion of the study locale and that a sample of 741 is enough to create a strong conclusion and answer the problem set in this study and all the questions in the study have been provided with answers with enough data and literatures to supports its findings.Conclusion and Recommendations. The results indicate that an increase in the recruitment of Saudi males may simply reflect cultural issues such as gender specific facilities and the Saudisation program’s nondiscriminatory approach to employment of both genders into nursing.

Nutritional Needs

Weaning too early can affect the growth of the baby and the mother often ignores the nutritional needs of the baby. In addition, malnutrition is more common today than during the first 4-6 months of life. This is because many families do not understand the special needs of babies and are unable to provide food with good nutritional value. The type of research used is a survey with a cross-sectional study approach. The population is all mothers who have babies aged 6 months and the sample is all mothers who have babies aged 6 months. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. The results showed that there was a significant effect between mothers who did weaning for less than 6 months with education = 0.006. There is a significant effect between mothers who do weaning for less than 6 months with employment status = 0.008. There is a significant effect between mothers who do weaning less than 6 months with birth spacing = 0.007.

Background: Studies have shown that there is a lack of understanding about deceased organ donation. An adequate knowledge and the right attitude towards organ donation helps create a positive influence on people which may increase the organ donation rate. Since young students are less prejudiced and easily accept new ideas, it is necessary to educate the youth about organ donation through their teachers. At the same time, it is imperative to train teachers who will be responsible for spreading awareness so that they can include this topic in their lessons.Methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted among the degree college teachers and students in Mumbai city from November 2017- January 2018, after obtaining the institutional ethical approval and written informed consent. Using purposive sampling, teachers and students of degree colleges in Mumbai were approached, out of which 40 students and 40 teachers consented to participate in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the pre-existing understanding, beliefs, perception and attitude about deceased organ donation.  Results: Limited number of degree college teachers and students were aware of the various terminologies related to organ donation. Organ donation definition was correctly answered by 23 teachers (57.5%) and 17 students (42.5%). The correct meaning of brainstem death was known to 19 teachers (47.5%) and 2 students (5%). There are certain misconceptions and perceptions about deceased organ donation among both the teachers and the students. 13 teachers (32.5%) and 16 students (40%) believed that donor family will be revealed about the recipient’s details. 7 teachers (17.5%) and 18 students (45%) were of the opinion that government provides monetary support to donor families. decision of organ donation after death rests on relatives was known to 33 teachers (82.5%) and 21 students (52.5%). About 6 teachers (15%) and 18 students (45%) wrongly believed that if conflicts arise between relatives’ organs can still be donated. There’s no possibility of buying /selling of organs in India was known 27 teachers (67.5%) and 31 students (77.5%). About 34 teachers (85%) and 31 students (77.5%) wanted to pledge for organ donation after death. 90% teachers and 80% students said they think deceased organ donation awareness should be incorporated in the education curriculum.Conclusions: 85% of the study subjects (both teachers and students) felt the need of intensifying organ donation awareness programmes. Thus, organ donation awareness should be effectively incorporated in the educational curriculum.
