Kendala utama keberhasilan vaksinasi bayi dan anak dalam sistem kesehatan adalah pengetahuan yang rendah dan kurangnya kebutuhan vaksinasi masyarakat. Sikap ibu terhadap vaksinasi akan menimbulkan perilaku yang mendukung terhadap kegiatan vaksinasi.

TUJUAN: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara sikap ibu yang memiliki bayi terhadap pemberian vaksin DPT. Metode penelitian yang digunakan penelitian korelasional dengan desain penelitian cross sectional. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 73 orang ibu yang memiliki anak balita dengan teknik total sampling.

Analisis bivariat dengan nilai P & lt; a (0,001 < 0,05). Jadi Ha diterima dan Ho ditolak. Kesimpulan: Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ada hubungan antara sikap ibu yang memiliki bayi dengan penerapan vaksin DPT.The main obstacle to the success of infant and child vaccination in the health system is the low level of knowledge and the lack of community vaccination needs. Mother's attitude towards vaccination will lead to supportive behavior towards vaccination activities. This is a dominant factor in the success of vaccination, if a positive attitude is expected to increase vaccination implementation. Mother's attitude increases maternal confidence in health and affects the vaccination status of infants and toddlers. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the relationship between the attitudes of mothers who have babies to the DPT vaccine. The research method used was correlational research with a cross sectional research design. The sample used as many as 73 mothers who have children under five with total sampling technique.

Community Health Fund (CHF) is one among health insurance schemes found in Tanzania. It was established in 1996 with the aim of improving the health of people who work in informal sectors. However, since its formulation, it has not performed well; the majority of HHs are not members, and some members are withdrawing from the scheme. The overall objective was to assess the attitude of community members towards the importance of CHF for health security. Specifically, the paper assesses the attitude towards CHF interventions among members and non-members of CHF and compares the attitude between members and non-members of CHF on health security. Cross sectional research design was used in this study. Simple random sampling technique using the lottery method was employed to select 354 respondents. Data were collected using a household questionnaire survey, Focus Group Discussions guide, Key Informant Interviews checklist and documents’ reviews. Descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings show that CHF has inclusive benefits to its members as it covers costs of health treatment rather than paying money every time they attend medical treatments. Furthermore, the attitude towards CHF among members and non-members was accounted for 9.3% and 51.9 negative, 2.3% and 4.1 neutral and 88.4 and 44.0 positive. This indicates that the majority of people in the study area had a positive attitude towards CHF services. Thus, the study concludes that a great proportion of members of CHF in Kalambo District have positive attitude towards CHF intervention while the majority of non-members have negative attitude towards CHF intervention because they were not aware of it due to lack of knowledge. It is recommended that the government should mainstream CHF intervention to all communities so that non-members can join the scheme and hence get better health services.  Also, the study recommends that the CHF service providers should put more emphasis on sensitising communities against negative attitudes from non-members of CHF.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global concern. In this case, Health Care Workers (HCW) are at the front lines in dealing with the pandemic as they provide diagnosis, care, and treatment. However, their duties have directly placed them at the most at risk of infection. Mitigation and risk reduction are crucial for safeguarding HCWs' health as it prevents the spread of COVID-19. This research aimed to find out the practice of COVID-19 prevention and the correlation among practice and knowledge, attitudes, and personality traits of HCW in Palembang. A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and July 2021 on 255 HCW who have direct contact with patients. The number of respondents per hospital is taken proportionally according to the portion of HCW in each selected hospital. The instrument consisted of demographic variables, knowledge, attitudes, and practices. It proves that it is reliable with Cronbach's alpha value of 0.7. The researchers used descriptive statistics, chi-square, and logistic regression. Overall, 65.2% of participants had good knowledge, 60% had a positive attitude, and 53.3% had good practice. Education (p-value 0.022) and attitude (p-value 0.000) of HCW were all influencing factor in practice. HCW who have a negative attitude are 5.413 times more to have bad practices than those who have a positive attitude (p-value<0.001;PR=5.413). However, training for HCW and further research are recommended to analyze the availability of personal protective equipment, adequate facilities, hospital policies, or other factors that can influence and motivate the practice of HCW.

The outcomes of patient care are improved by adequate knowledge, practical skills, and positive attitude. Currently, there is a lack of data on medical research activities among resident doctors in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to evaluate the perception, barriers, and research attitudes among various residency programs running in different cities of Saudi Arabia. A total of 434 surgical and medical residents participated in the current study. A cross-sectional study encompassing multiple training centers in the eastern province of Saudi. Convenient sampling technique was used to include all the working training residents. A self-administered questionnaire was formulated for data collection. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data. The mean age of the residents with various specialties was 27.83 ± 2.41 years. Approximately 61.7% had participated in research, while 38.3% had never participated in any research. A total of 26% of junior and 44% of senior residents have one publication only. While 11% of junior and 9% of senior residents have three publications or more. Inadequate facilities for research, lack of baseline research skills, and personal commitments were the reasons which over 60% of respondents had agreed on. Institutional reasons: lack of professional supervisor support and lack of research curriculum in the training program was reported by 308 (71%) and 305(70.3%) residents, respectively. A lack of interest for research was prevailed more in males (19%) compared to females (14%) (OR 1.43, 95% CI: 0.86–2.38, p-value 0.17). A subset of residents had one or three publications, while some had none. A lack of baseline research skills and inadequate facilities for scientific explorations, time, and funds were the main constraints among training residents. However, several residents had a positive attitude toward research but fewer publications. Thus, training in medical research methodology should be obligatory in the residency curriculum in all specialties. Further research is needed.

BACKGROUND: The number of mental disorders in adolescents tends to increase every year in Indonesia. However, the stigma of mental disorders is a crucial factor that makes teens hide their mental health problem. AIM: This study aimed to examine personal and perceived among adolescents towards peers with mental disorders (PMD) and to identify predictors of these constructs. METHODS: This quantitative study with a cross-sectional design recruited 977 adolescents using a cluster random sampling technique. Adolescent stigma was assessed using the Peer Mental Health Stigmatization Scale (PMHSS). Multivariable general linear models (GLMs) was used for analysis. RESULTS: The study shows that the perceived stigma (M = 36.62, SD = 5,183) tends to be higher than personal stigma (M = 39.49, SD = 5,495).  Higher personal stigma was predicted by a lower level of academic (P < 0.01), lower levels of family monthly income (P < 0.01), and higher perceived stigma (P < 0.001). Higher perceived stigma was predicted by younger age (P < 0.05), lower levels of academic (P < 0.05), higher levels of family monthly income (P < 0.05), and higher personal stigma (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The Findings suggest that stigmatization towards PMD is common among adolescents. The development of intervention programs should be directed at reducing negative perceptions of the environment. The identified predictors must also be considered in the development of future anti-stigma programs.
