Abstract Background: It is important to evaluate the long-term effects of the Covid 19 epidemic on the tendency of midwives to leave their jobs. The study was aimed to examine the intention to leave work and its relationship with job burnout among midwives working at Ayatollah Mousavi hospital of Zanjan one year after the Covid-19 disease. In a descriptive-analytical study, the tendency of 88 midwives to leave their jobs was evaluated one year after the outbreak of Covid disease in 2021. The midwives were selected by convenience sampling methods. Data were collected using the Maslach burnout questionnaire and Attwood and Hinshaw tendency to leave the job. Data analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression model with the stepwise method at 95% confidence level.Results:The mean tendency to leave the job was 29.71 ± 6.75. Most of the midwives have a moderate level of the tendency to leave the job (47.7%). There was a significant positive correlation between all three components of burnout and the tendency to leave the job. The odds of leaving the job were 0.344 times higher in people with high emotional fatigue and 0.276 times in people with rotational shift work.Conclusion:It can be concluded that the tendency to leave the job was moderate. Given the relationship between emotional fatigue and the tendency to leave the job, planning to increase the mental strength and resilience of midwives during the epidemic of COVID-19 seems necessary.

We conducted a longitudinal study of cryptosporidiosis from birth to three years of age in an urban slum of Dhaka Bangladesh. Fecal DNA was extracted from monthly surveillance samples and diarrheal stool samples collected from 392 infants from birth to three years. A pan-Cryptosporidium qPCR assay was used to identify sub-clinical and symptomatic cryptosporidiosis.  Anthropometric measurements were collected quarterly to assess child nutritional status.  31% (121/392) of children experienced a single and 57% (222/392) multiple infections with Cryptosporidium. Repeat infections had a lower burden of parasites in the stool (Cq slope = -1.85; p<0.0001) and were more likely to be sub-clinical (Chi square test for trend; p=0.01). Repeat infections were associated with the development of growth faltering (Pearson correlation = -0.18; p=0.0004). High levels of fecal IgA antibodies against the Cryptosporidium Cp23 sporozoite protein at one year of life were associated with a delay in reinfection and amelioration of growth faltering through three years of life (HAZ IgA high responders -1.323 ± 0.932 versus HAZ -1.731 ± 0.984 p=0.0001). We concluded that nonsterile immunity to cryptosporidiosis in young children was associated with high levels of mucosal IgA anti-Cp23 and protection from diarrhea and growth faltering.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is one of the major health issues among senior citizens considering the increase in the population of a senior citizen’s over the age of 60 in Indonesia. The use of antihypertensive drugs alone has proved to be inadequate to exhibit long-term effects of blood pressure control if it is not supported by adherence. AIM: This study aims to investigate the relationship between knowledge, attitude, action, and doctor's communication to adherence of hypertensive patient in taking medication. METHODS: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study consist of patients who have been diagnosed with hypertension and are consuming antihypertensive drugs. Eighty samples were randomly recruited. The research data were collected using a guided interview questionnaire and were an analysed using the chi-square test. RESULTS: This study shows that the patient percentages with poor knowledge are 76.3%, 82.5% with a bad attitude, 82.5% for negative action, 56.3% for lack of doctor's communication, and 58% for poor levels of adherence. Chi-square test shows a significant relationship (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: There is a relationship between knowledge, attitude, action, and doctor's communication towards the adherence of hypertensive patient in taking medication.

This research deals with the relationship between Development Planning and the performance of enterprises in the MFI sector in the city of Yaound. Based on the Pearson chi-square test performed on 46 EMFs observed over the period 2011-2014, our results show that the performance of these firms is not independent of how they formalize their decisionmaking processes in the form Development plan. In addition, the study notes that firms that choose to make proactive and rational decisions as a management model, places more emphasis on planning. However, the use of a formal plan for long-term planning allows for good performance of MFIs. This is why we suggest to these companies the use and implementation of the development plan and the making of advance decisions for growing their business.

Bullying is a common problem among adolescents in the world. Bullying gives serious long-term effects on mental and physical health. Several studies found that adolescent involvement in bullying was related with maladjustment for both male and female. Male are more involved in physical and verbal bullying, whereas girls are more involved in relational bullying. Having a lot of friends can protect adolescents from bullying behavior and reduce their vulnerability to be a bullying victim. The purpose of this study was to know the relationship between sex and the number of friends with bullying among adolescents in Junior high School at Yogyakarta city. This study was an observational analytic study with cross sectional design. The samples of the study were adolescent aged 13-15 years in five junior high schools. The instrument of the study was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using chi square test. There were 250 adolescent involved in the study. The highest bullying incidence was 77.27% and the lowest was 22.73%. Both of them were verbal bullying. Bivariat analysis showed relationship was between sex and bullying (p= 0.03; PR= 0.74) and there was no relationship between the number of friends and bullying (p= 0.23; PR= 1.26). It can be concluded that there was relationship between sex and bullying among adolescents but there was no relationship between number of friends and bullying among adolescents. School should concern strict rules againt bullying behavior to minimize the occurrence of bullying behavior at school.

Abstract Background The cost of depression among residents is staggering as it extends into the quality and safety of patient care. Finding an explanation to resident depression by investigating the associated factors is therefore important. Study skills can be a possible factor, and a clear gap in the literature exists in this regard. We sought to investigate the relationship between depressive symptoms among residents and their study skills. Methods This was a correlational study and a non-probability sample of 240 residents completed the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) and the Study Skills Inventory (SSI). Chi-square test was used to compare different categorical variables, while student t-test and ANOVA for continuous data. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was performed to find the relationship between depressive symptoms and study skills and the association that these measures have with the demographic variables. Results Overall, 186 residents (76%) filled out the questionnaire. The SSI total score was found to have a significant negative association with the BDI-II depression score (Pearson correlation = − 0.447and p < 0.000). No significant association was found between the total SSI score and the residents’ sex, age, marital status, smoking status, training years or specialties. Conclusion Poor study skills were found to be correlated with higher depressive symptoms. Future studies are required to develop a deeper understanding of this relationship and reconfigure the approach to study skills for the well-being of the future physicians.

Background and aims. Autologus with punch minigrafting has been suggested as an alternative surgical method for treating stable vitiligo in refractory patients to induce regimentation. The current study was conducted to evaluate the long-term results of surgical punch minigrafting in patients with resistant vitiligo vulgaris, segmental and focal vitiligo. Methods: Case series prospective exploratory study design was performed in Tripoli central hospital (TCH) and private clinic among patient with confirmed vitiligo vulgaris, segmental and focal vitiligo, during the period from 2009 -2019. Data were presented as descriptive statistics using SPSS version 22. Chi-square test was used to test the significance of data with the level of 0.05 considered as significant level. Results: A total of 28 patients presented with vitiligo, of them 26 (92.9%) were females and 2 (7.1%) were males, with age ranging from 11-46 years old. The re-pigmentation of vitiligo was (53.6%) vulgaris, (28.6%) segmental, and (17.9%) focal vitiligo, with stable disease that did not have any new lesions at least 12 months with the disease ranging from one year (7.2%) and up to 30 years. The main instruments used with these cases were; skin punch size between 2mm (28.6%), 2.5mm (32.1%), and 4 to 6mm (10.7 %). The donor sites where selected to match the recipient sites either behind ear 39.3%, thighs 43%, while 3.6% were not previously affected by the disease. Conclusion. It has been suggested that mini grafting is a proper treatment option for treating patients with stable vitiligo, by using a small size punch, that is less than 2mm.
