Background and Objectives: As maternal deaths associated with the SARS-CoV-2 infection remain at several times greater than the general population, significant factors that might contribute to the higher mortality and morbidity rate are the psychological impact of the disease and pregnancy itself. Therefore, the current study’s main objective was to assess how pregnant women react and cope with the stress of COVID-19 disease and how it influences their overall health and quality of life in healthcare facilities. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 304 pregnant women who successfully completed standardized forms to assess our topics of interest, comprising of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Short Form Health Survey-12, the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory scale, the CORE-Outcome Measure Questionnaire, and the Quality from the Patient’s Perspective questionnaire. Results: Unemployed, pregnant women living in poverty in the rural areas had higher SARS-CoV-2 infection rates during pregnancy. They faced higher anxiety levels and depression rates, with associated increased physical burden and exhaustion. However, these findings are not influenced by hospital care since it remained unchanged among COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 maternity units, excepting significantly lower technical competence scores of COVID-19 facilities. Conclusions: As the pandemic’s consequences emerge and additional outbreaks occur, care must prioritize the additional physical burden experienced by pregnant women who have contracted COVID-19, as well as psychological, emotional, and mental health support.

The Cost

Background: Antimicrobial resistance has reached to a significant proportion globally. This antimicrobial resistance increases the cost of health care in addition to the existing burden of the prevalence of infectious disease in developing countries. We need to have institutional protocols based on the standard guidelines. It is important for the clinician to use antibiotics only when it is necessary. The aim of the study was to analyze the rationality of the antibiotics used among the hospitalized children in the referral centre located in the rural area, to evaluate the pattern of antibiotics prescribed among the hospitalized children and to find out the factors associated with the usage of antibiotics among them.  Methods: Analytical, cross sectional study was performed on all patients admitted to the inpatient pediatric medical service at a referral centre situated in the rural part of the Puducherry, India during the period from July 2015 to June 2016. Results: 959 children were included in our study.607 children belong to less than 5 years of age group. Overall 60% of the children have received either oral or parenteral antibiotics. Based on the categorization of children as per the final clinical diagnosis children requiring antibiotic, can be used and not required are 13% (125), 38.6% (370) and 48.4% (464) respectively. Respiratory, gastrointestinal and systemic infectious diseases were the major group of cases admitted in our centre. Antibiotic use in respiratory and systemic infectious disease were maximum with 248 (70.1%) and 179 (71.6%) respectively. Among the antibiotics cephalosporin, penicillin group and azithromycin constitute more than 90% of the antibiotics prescribed cases.Conclusions: Overuse of antibiotic is universal and seen in both developed and developing countries. This increases the cost of treatment and increases the chances of microbial resistance. As per the W.H.O. recommendations surveillance system is required in all the hospitals to assess the antibiotic use and to monitor the prevalence of microbial resistance.

Diare pada balita masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang penting di Indonesia. Persepsi keseriusan penyakit diare yang rendah merupakan kendala upaya menurunkan angka kesakitan diare. Penelitian yang menggunakan desain cross sectional ini bertujuan menguji hubungan antara faktor pengetahuan, pengalaman kontak, dan kepercayaan, dengan persepsi ibu terhadap diare pada balita. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah ibu balita yang bermukim di Kecamatan Bekasi Utara, Jawa barat. Dari hasil penelitian terbukti bahw pengetahuan, pengalaman kontak, dan kepercayaan berhubungan secara bermakna dengan persepsi ibu terhadap diare pada balita. Ibu balita yang berpengetahuan rendah berisiko 2,5 kali untuk berpersepsi diare sebagai penyakit biasa daripada ibu yang berpengetahuan tinggi (OR: 2,535; 95%CI: 1,321 – 4,866) setelah variabel pendidikan dikendalikan. Ibu balita yang tidak pernah berpengalaman kontak berisiko hampir 5 kali lebih besar untuk berpersepsi diare sebagai penyakit biasa daripada ibu balita yang pernah kontak (OR: 4,761; 95% CI: 1,853 - 12,235). Ibu balita dengan kepercayaan rendah berisiko 0,4 kali untuk mempersepsikan diare sebagai penyakit biasa lebih kecil daripada ibu dengan kepercayaan tinggi setelah variabel jumlah balita dikendalikan (OR: 0,392; 95%CI: 0,195 - 0,765). Upaya memperbaiki persepsi ibu balita disarankan dengan meningkatkan program promosi kesehatan yang dilakukan melalui peningkatan pengetahuan, menciptakan pengalaman dengan model simulasi, serta merasionalkan kepercayaan tentang diare pada balita di masyarakat.Kata kunci : Diare pada balita, persepsi, pengetahuan, pengalaman kontak, kepercayaanAbstractDiarrhea among under-five children is still a major problem in developing countries such as Indonesia. The low perception to the seriousness of diarrhea is one of the obstacles in decreasing the diarrhea frequency. Using cross sectional design, this research aims to find the relationship between knowledge, contact experience, and belief about diarrhea on under five children with the perception of mothers towards the seriousness of diarrhea. The research population is mothers with under five children in Bekasi Utara district, and 175 subjects were selected randomly across 6 regions (kelurahan). This research showed that knowledge, contact experience and belief have significant relation with the perception towards the seriousness of diarrhea on under five children. Mothers who had limited knowledge had chance 2,5 times more than mothers who had wide knowledge to perceive that diarrhea was not serious (OR: 2.535; 95%CI: 1.321 – 4.866) after education variable was controlled. Mothers who had no experience with diarrhea had chance almost 5 times more than mothers who had experience to perceive that diarrhea was not serious (OR: 4.761; 95%CI: 1.853 – 12.235). Mothers who had low belief had chance 0.4 times more than mothers who had high belief to perceive that diarrhea was not serious (OR: 0.392; 95%CI: 0.195 – 0.765) after the number of under five children was controlled. The effort to improve the perception of mothers towards diarrhea can be conducted by improving the program to promote health, such as enhancing the knowledge/ awareness, creating contact experience by simulation model, and by rationalizing belief about diarrhea.Keywords : Diarrhea, perception, knowledge, contact experience, belief

Abstract Background Everyday 2591 elderly people die due to injury worldwide. The complications and consequences of injury is different and worse than that of other age-groups. Yet little is known about the injury scenario of elderly population of Bangladesh. This paper aim to describe the epidemiology of geriatric injury of Bangladesh which will help policy-makers to undertake interventions for this vulnerable-group. Methods Bangladesh Health and Injury Survey 2016, a nationwide cross-sectional survey was carried out among 299,216 residents to identify the injury-related mortality and morbidity. Injury data among the population aged 60-years and above was extracted and analyzed for this study. Results Injury was found to cause 3.9% of the total deaths among elderly population of Bangladesh. Mortality and morbidity rate due to injury was found 157 (95%CI 112- 216) per 100,000 elderly populations and 129 (95%CI 124-133) per 1000 elderly population respectively. Fatality rate was 182.6 among urban population and 147 among rural population. Fall was identified as the leading cause of injury deaths and morbidity. It caused 47.2% of all fatality followed by Transport-injury (19.4%) and Suicide (13.9%). Among all fatally injured, 72.2% victims received treatment from health-service providers and among these 58.3% (n = 21) went to registered doctors. Conclusions Fall is the leading cause of injury related mortality and morbidity among elderly of Bangladesh. A significant amount of deaths also occurred due to RTI and suicide. Further in-depth research and interventions are needed to minimize the preventable burden of fatality and morbidity among this vulnerable-group.
