The teacher is a major milestone in the world of education, the ability and achievement of students cannot be separated from the role of a teacher in teaching and guiding students. Based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, in Article 1 explained that teachers are professional educators with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, evaluating, and evaluating students in early childhood education through formal education, basic education and education medium. Whereas in Article 4 of the Act, it is explained that the position of teachers as professionals serves to enhance the dignity and role of teachers as learning agents to function to improve the quality of national education.Decision making is an election process, among various alternatives that aim to meet one or several targets. The decision-making system has 4 phases, namely intelligence, design, choice and implementation. These phases are the basis for decision making, which ends with a recommendation.The Preferences Selection Index (PSI) method is a rarely used decision support system method. This method is a method developed by stevanie and Bhatt (2010) to solve the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). With the right consideration, this method can be one of the tools to determine policies in decision-making systems, especially the selection of outstanding teachers. Determination of policies taken as a basis for decision making, must use criteria that can be defined clearly and objectively.Keywords: Decision Support System, PSI, Selection of Achieving Teachers

In this issue of Pediatrics (pp 829-833) there is a statement by the Medical Ethics Subcommittee of the American Board of Pediatrics entitled "Teaching and Evaluation of Interpersonal Skills and Ethical Decision Making in Pediatrics." The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with and supports the thoughts and plans expressed in this statement and agrees that candidates should be examined on these issues as part of the Board's certifying process. In 1978, the Academy published a report entitled The Future of Pediatric Education, the authorship of which was a joint effort of representatives from ten medical organizations concerned with educating pediatricians. That report clearly stated the need for formal education in medical ethics and interpersonal skills in the pediatric residency curricula in order that the biosocial needs of infants, children, and adolescents be satisfactorily addressed.

Abstract Introduction Better communications among the patient, their family, and healthcare providers can enable a shared understanding on patient’s end-of-life (EOL) care preferences. Discussion about death-related issue however has been thought to be taboo among Chinese people. This study aims to explore perceived quality of EOL communication provided by healthcare professionals (HCPs) among frail older Chinese patients. Method Frail older patients were recruited from a medical ward of a public hospital for a randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of a nurse-led advance care planning. Participants completed a baseline questionnaire including the 7-item Quality of Communication (QOC) Questionnaire which measures perceived quality of EOL communication provided by HCPs (0 “The worst or none happened” to 10 “The best”). Bivariate analyses examined associated factors of QOC. Results Between December 2018 and January 2020, 105 participants were recruited and have completed the QOC. Their mean age was 80 years old (SD = 7.1), and 74% (n = 78) reported had received some formal education. A total of 95 participants (91%) responded “0” to all the 7 items in QOC (poor QOC group). For individual QOC item, all participants scored “0” in 4 items, 99 scored “0” in Item 1 “Talking about details if you got sicker”, 104 scored “0” in Item 2 “Talking about how long you might have to live”, and 101 scored “0” in Item 7 “Respecting your spiritual or religious beliefs”. Participants with “0” score in QOC reported a significant lower mean level in certainty regarding decision-making in EOL preferences (1.2 ± 1.6 vs. 2.3 ± 1.8, p = 0.039). Conclusion Occurrence of talking about EOL care with frail older Chinese patients by HCPs was rare, and the quality of EOL communication associated with decision-making certainty regarding EOL preferences. Training of initiation of EOL discussions and improve communication skills for HCPs is essential. Funding: RGC, HKSAR, China (PolyU14162617H).

Individual Decisions

Purpose: Decisions regarding cancer treatment choices can be difficult. Several factors may influence the decision to undergo treatment. One poorly understood factor is the influence of a patient’s faith on how they make medical decisions. We compared the importance of faith on treatment decisions among doctors, patients, and patient caregivers. Methods: One hundred patients with advanced lung cancer, their caregivers, and 257 medical oncologists were interviewed. Participants were asked to rank the importance of the following factors that might influence treatment decisions: cancer doctor’s recommendation, faith in God, ability of treatment to cure disease, side effects, family doctor’s recommendation, spouse’s recommendation, and children’s recommendation. Results: All three groups ranked the oncologist’s recommendation as most important. Patients and caregivers ranked faith in God second, whereas physicians placed it last (P < .0001). Patients who placed a high priority on faith in God had less formal education (P < .0001). Conclusion: Patients and caregivers agree on the factors that are important in deciding treatment for advanced lung cancer but differ substantially from doctors. All agree that the oncologist’s recommendation is most important. This is the first study to demonstrate that, for some, faith is an important factor in medical decision making, more so than even the efficacy of treatment. If faith plays an important role in how some patients decide treatment, and physicians do not account for it, the decision-making process may be unsatisfactory to all involved. Future studies should clarify how faith influences individual decisions regarding treatment.

Abstract Background: Teenage pregnancies are associated with negative outcomes. Prevention requires understanding them and their families. Objectives: This study aimed to describe personal and family attributes of pregnant teenagers in Sri Lanka. Methods: This was a community-based study in Sri Lanka among 510 pregnant teenagers. Results: Half (50%) of the subjects were 19 years of age at the time of pregnancy. A majority (79.8%) had studied up to grades 6–11. Confidence in decision-making (80.7%) and in refusing unnecessary requests (88.3%) was “excellent” in a majority. Mean age of marriage/co-habiting was 17.6 years. For 31%, marriage/cohabiting was a sudden decision taken jointly with their partner (81.6%) and 83% reported being “legally” married. Substantial proportions of mothers (17.6%) and fathers (13.9%) had not attended school, and 33.1% mothers had worked abroad. Teenagers reported the death of a parent (14.1%), parental separation (10.9%) and being brought up by relatives (20%). Only a few rated strictness of rules/regulations (32.4%), freedom to discuss problems regarding puberty (25.5%), love affairs (12.7%) and sexuality (26.7%) as excellent/good. Of the spouses, 12.9% were <20 years, 71.9% had low education and 98.8% were employed. A majority had “planned” the pregnancy, and for 79.8%, the reason was “husband’s wish to have a baby”. Conclusions: Pregnant teenagers were mostly in their late teens, from poor families and with low formal education. Though teenagers showed confidence in decision-making, the decision to have a pregnancy had mostly been their spouses. Parents and spouses of the teenagers were also young, less educated and poor. There was evidence of poor parenting practices.

Girl Child Education

This study examined factors that adversely affect girl-child education among the Kambari. Marx Weber’s social action theory, patriarchy and sex role theories provided the theoretical framework. Empirical data were drawn from a household survey among 1,598 respondents, comprising a pair of adult males (385) and their sons (385) and adult females (414) and their daughters (414). A multi-staged sampling technic was employed to select sample units. Two structured questionnaires were employed for the household survey. Twelve case-studies of girl-children, fourteen in-depth interviews and fifteen FGDs were also conducted among different groups. The data were subjected to descriptive, logistic regression and content analyses. The burden of domestic work, unintended teenage pregnancy, poor academic performance, parental ignorance, child-betrothal and early marriage, son preference adversely affected the girl-child’s access to education. The logistic regression shows that the odds of exhibiting discriminatory practice towards girl-child education are about 6 times higher among adult males compared to the females, 4.2 times higher among participants with no formal education, 4 times higher among adherents of traditional religion and 3 times among Muslims. Further, respondents with rigid conception of gender role are more likely to exhibit discriminatory gender practices as well as those with negative childhood experience, those from homes where men dominate in decision-making and those from homes with non-valuation of women’s participation in decision-making. A holistic approach should be adopted at all levels of government, religious and traditional institutions to address the marginalization of Kambari girl-children in accessing formal education.

Prevention Behavior

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted United States residents. Prevention behaviors are critical to minimizing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the U.S., to ultimately reduce the health, social, and economic burdens of COVID-19. Yet, health behavior decision-making is complex, and uptake of preventative behaviors has been variable. Women may provide pro-prevention behavior modeling to their networks, facilitating uptake diffusion. The COPE Study enrolled 491 women residing in the United States from May to June of 2020; women completed an online survey of COVID-19 experiences and prevention behaviors. We employed binary logistic modeling to identify factors predicting women’s practice of (1) staying home except for essential activities, (2) physical distancing in public, and (3) wearing a face mask in public. Findings demonstrate that women’s prevention behaviors are influenced by multilevel factors. Women living in urban environments, having minimal formal education, or having a household annual income of USD 30,000–50,000 are less likely to practice prevention behaviors. Cultural context may be an important factor in the decision-making process. Results aid in the identification what interventional “levers” may warrant consideration to promote uptake of such behaviors, and whom to engage. Because women are modelers of behavior, it is critical to engage them in prevention behavior interventions.
