Introduction: The presence of air germs in the hospital patient rooms is potentially to cause health problems for patients. This study aimed to identify andanalyze environmental factors associated with air germs, and formulate environmental management strategi to control air germs in the patient rooms. Methods: This study was an observational analytic survey, used a mixed method and a cross sectional design. Data collection was conducted through laboratory tests and interviews. Data was analysed by pearson correllation test to analyze environmental factors associated with air germs. The appropriate environmental management strategies was determined through SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats). Results and Discussion: Several factors related to air germs were temperature (p = 0.032), lighting (p = 0.01) and the staff knowledge (p = 0.001). Humidity was not significantly related to air germs (p = 0.178), The results of SWOT analysis indicated that aggressive strategies (Strengths and Opportunities) were arranging internal hospital policies regarding to air quality management based on the Ministry of Health, utilizing educational qualifications and knowledge of room staff to support policy implementation, improving the performance of outsourcing personnel in cleaning services and maintaining hospitals infrastructure, increasing Inhouse Training activities. Conclusion: Environmental factors play an important role in the presence of air germs in the patient rooms so appropriate environmental management strategies are needed to control the presence of air germs.

Introduction: Tracheostomy is a surgery to open the trachea to allow air to enter the airway. Tracheostomy cannot be separated from possible complications. Tracheostomy stoma infection is one of the complications of post-tracheostomy that occurs due to the activity of several bacteria. Many factros can cause the incidence of tracheostomy stoma infection. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the factors associated with the incidence of tracheostomy stoma infection. Methods: Observational study with cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out using medical record data on 71 subjects who underwent tracheostomy tube replacement from july 2019 to November 2020. Results: From 71 subjects, it was found that the subjects who had tracheostomy stoma infection were 54.9%. The results of bivariate analysis showed that age (p=0.031), comorbidities (p=0.009), the type of tracheostomy tube (p=0.015), the use of antiseptic in tracheostomy dressing (p=0.020), tracheostomy tube care (p=0.013), and the interval of changing the tracheostomy tube (p=0.041) are the significant factors. The results of multivariate analysis showed that tracheostomy tube care and the interval of changing the tracheostomy tube had a significant effect on tracheostomy stoma infection. Tracheostomy tube care has a risk of 9.362 times to experience infection with CI95%(1.535-57.086) and the interval of changing the tracheostomy tube has a risk of 10.669 with CI95% (1.074-105.985). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between age, comorbidities, type of tracheostomy tube, the use of antiseptic in tracheosotmy dressing, tracheosotmy tube care, and interval of changing the tracheostomy tube with the incidence of tracheostomy stoma infection.

Childhood Caries

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a chronic, infectious disease that affects the primary dentition of young children. It is the result of an imbalance of risk factors and protective factors that influence the disease. The aim of this study was to assess genetic and environmental factors that may contribute to ECC. Two hundred and fifty-nine unrelated children were evaluated using a cross-sectional design. Data on oral habits were obtained through a questionnaire, and caries experience data were collected by clinical examination. Twenty-three markers in 10 genes were studied. Genotyping of the selected polymorphisms was carried out by real-time PCR. Regression analyses were performed comparing individuals with and without caries experience. Of 259 subjects, 123 were caries free. The genotype TT in ALOX15 (rs7217186) was a risk factor for ECC, whereas the genotypes GG in ENAM (rs1264848), AG and GG in KLK4 (rs198968), CT in LTF (rs4547741), and GG in TUFT1 (rs3790506) were protective for EEC. In conclusion, environmental factors and gene interactions can act as protective or risk factors for ECC. These factors together contribute to the presence and severity of the disease.

AbstractObjectiveEnvironmental factors may be very important in the development of disordered weight-control behaviours (DWCB) among youth, yet no study to date has conducted a review that synthesizes these findings. The purpose of the present study was to systematically review existing literature on environmental influences on DWCB among youth and to identify conceptual and methodological gaps in the literature.DesignSystematic review.SettingStudies were identified through a systematic search using PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar and secondary references. Inclusion criteria included observational studies published in peer-reviewed journals from 1994 to 2012 that examined environmental exposure(s) associated with DWCB among youth.SubjectsNinety-three studies, the majority of which utilized a cross-sectional design (75 %;n70), were identified. Longitudinal studies’ follow-up time ranged from 8 months to 10 years.ResultsParental, peer and media influences have been extensively studied as factors associated with DWCB among youth. Fewer studies have examined behavioural settings (i.e. homes, schools, neighbourhoods) or sectors of influence other than the media on DWCB. No studies utilized multilevel methods to parse out environmental influences on DWCB. Most studies (69 %,n64) did not explicitly utilize a theory or model to guide the research.ConclusionsFindings indicate that exploring a wider range of environmental influences on DWCB, specifically behavioural settings and sectors of influence, using diverse study samples and multilevel methodology is needed to advance the field and to inform the design of comprehensive prevention programmes that target DWCB and other weight-related behaviours.

The aim of this study was to examine nurses’ attitudes about the importance of family in nursing care from an international perspective. We used a cross-sectional design. Data were collected online using the Families’ Importance in Nursing Care—Nurses’ Attitudes (FINC-NA) questionnaire from a convenience sample of 740 registered nurses across health care sectors from Sweden, Ontario, Canada, and Hong Kong, China. Mean levels of attitudes were compared across countries using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Multiple regression was used to identify factors associated with nurses’ attitudes and to test for interactions by country. Factors associated with nurse attitudes included country, age, gender, and several practice areas. On average, nurses working in Hong Kong had less positive attitudes compared with Canada and Sweden. The effects of predictors on nurses’ attitudes did not vary by country. Knowledge of nurses’ attitudes could lead to the development of tailored interventions that facilitate nurse-family partnerships in care.

AbstractObjective:Of the few studies that have paid attention to feelings of reward in family palliative caregiving, most are retrospective and examine the experiences of bereaved family caregivers. Although feeling rewarded has been described as an influence that may facilitate the way family caregivers handle the caregiving situation, no study has sought to identify the factors associated with feelings of reward while providing ongoing family palliative care. The aim of this study, therefore, was to identify influential factors in feelings of reward experienced by family palliative caregivers.Method:Our study had a correlational cross-sectional design. Family caregivers (n = 125) of patients receiving specialized palliative care were consecutively recruited from four settings. These caregivers answered a questionnaire that included the Rewards of Caregiving Scale (RCS). This questionnaire included questions about demographic background and scales to measure preparedness for caregiving, feelings of hope, perceived health, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with rewards.Results:The results demonstrated that the more prepared caregivers with higher levels of hope felt more rewarded, while caregivers with higher levels of anxiety and those in a spousal relationship with the patient felt less rewarded by caregiving.Significance of results:It seems reasonable that feeling rewarded can be a significant contributor to the overall experience of providing ongoing palliative care. The situation of family caregivers has been shown to be multifaceted and complex, and such covariant factors as preparedness, anxiety, hope, and being in a spousal relationship with the patient to influence this experience.

Education in the early years is an excellent space for promoting integrated learning. The STEAM education model combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics holistically and has gained force globally, mostly in developed countries. However, in developing countries of Latin America, STEAM education programs are incipient and still unfamiliar to many early childhood and primary school educators. "Pequeños Científicos" is a pioneer educational program in Chile aimed at providing extracurricular academic enrichment to students 3 to 10 years old, with a gender-empowering approach. With a cross-sectional design and integrating data from students, researchers and educators, this article documents program design and implementation issues based on a partial application of SWOT analysis grounded on strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. The strengths were the strongest elements that might be transferred to similar interventions, for instance, students were positively engaged in the learning processes and actively communicating their advances through diverse artistic formats. The weaknesses were mainly difficulties that can be avoided in future replication, such as teachers' management of children's behavior. Opportunities present alternatives to these types of programs to improve and grow; for example, through articulation of the courses and including children with additional needs. We call for tackling the weaknesses for more efficient application and discuss the promotion of STEAM learning in the early years in the contexts of high educational inequality for future replication in diverse contexts.

COVID-19 represents a threat to public health and the mental health of the aged population. Prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety have been reported in previous reviews in other populations; however, a systematic review on the factors associated with depression and anxiety in older adults is not currently present in the literature. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest Psychology Database, Science Direct, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases (23 February 2021). The results were obtained by entering a combination of MeSH or Emtree terms with keywords related to COVID-19, elderly, depression and anxiety in the databases. A total of 11 studies were included in the systematic review. Female gender, loneliness, poor sleep quality and poor motor function were identified as factors associated with both depression and anxiety. Aspects related to having a stable and high monthly income represent protective factors for both depression and anxiety, and exercising was described as protective for depression. This study synthesised information and analysed the main factors associated with depression and anxiety in the older population during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the cross-sectional design of most of the included studies does not allow a causal relationship between the factors analysed and depression or anxiety.
