Background. Health workers are more prone to Ebola viral disease (EVD) than the general population. This study assessed the preparedness of health workers in the control and management of EVD.Methods. A descriptive cross-sectional study. Consenting 400 health workers completed a semistructured questionnaire that assessed participants’ general knowledge, emergency preparedness, and control and management of EVD. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results. The mean age (SD) was 34.5 ± 8.62 years ranging from 20 to 59 years. Most participants were medical doctors (24.6%) and nurses (52.2%). The majority had practised <10 years (73.8%) and were aware of the EVD outbreak in the West African subregion (85.5%). Colleagues (40%) and radio (37.2%) were their major sources of information. Only 42% had good knowledge while 27% knew that there was no vaccine presently to prevent EVD. About one-quarter (24.2%) had low risk perception. The majority (89%) felt the hospital infection control policy was inadequate to protect against EVD. The only predictor of good knowledge was participants’ occupation.Conclusion. There is knowledge gap and poor infection control preparedness among respondents.

ABSTRAK Pandemi covid-19 telah mengubah sistem pembelajaran pada program studi pendidikan profesi ners di STIKes Surya Global Yogyakarta. Semua kegiatan praktik di lapangan dilakukan secara daring sampai diberlakukannya new normal oleh pemerintah. New normal mengharuskan mahasiswa menerapkan protokol kesehatan dengan ketat pada saat kembali praktik di rumah sakit guna mencegah terjadinya penularan corona virus. Upaya preventif yang dapat dilakukan untuk memutus penularan covid-19 adalah dengan menggunakan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) dengan tepat. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan meningkatkan kemampuan mahasiswa profesi ners dalam menggunakan APD melalui penyuluhan kesehatan tentang penggunaan APD. Penyuluhan kesehatan tentang penggunaan APD dilakukan dengan metode ceramah dan demonstrasi. Sebelum penyuluhan kesehatan dilakukan pretest dan pada akhir kegiatan dilakukan posttest. Nilai rata-rata sebelum mendapatkan penyuluhan kesehatan sebesar 11,6 dan sesudah mendapatkan penyuluhan kesehatan yaitu 15,77. Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan pada mahasiswa profesi ners tentang pengggunaan APD. Kata Kunci : Penyuluhan Kesehatan, Alat Pelindung Diri, Covid-19 ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the learning system in the nursing professional education study program at STIKes Surya Global Yogyakarta. All practical activities in the field are carried out online until the new normal is enforced by the government. New normal requires students to strictly implement health protocols when returning to practice in hospitals to prevent transmission of the corona virus. Preventive measures that can be taken to stop the transmission of COVID-19 are to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriately. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to increase knowledge and improve the ability of nursing professional students in using PPE through health education about the use of PPE. Health education on the use of PPE is carried out using lecture and demonstration methods. Before the health education a pretest was conducted and at the end of the activity a posttest was conducted. The average value before receiving health education was 11.6 and after receiving health education was 15.77. The results of this activity indicate that there is an increase in knowledge among nursing professional students about the use of PPE. Keywords: Health Education, Personal Protective Equipment

Veterinary Medical Students

Veterinary medical students, similar to elite collegiate athletes, are developing strategies for learning new skills and for self-care to take their performance to the next level. As veterinary students learn to successfully navigate an information-dense, high-volume curriculum, many sacrifice wellness, leadership opportunities, extracurricular activities, and social interactions. Strategies from athletes’ physical training were used to design a self-study program for first-year veterinary medical students. Major considerations in program design were the characteristics of the human being, learning goals, and contextual constraints. The study program included a warm-up, study sessions, and a cooldown. The program was offered to first-year veterinary medical students at Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Thirty-two students requested study programs and 21 completed surveys at the semester end. Results were analyzed quantitatively and by using an adapted conventional content analysis approach. Responses were organized into three main domains: reason for participation, program utility, and program satisfaction. Students shared that the most helpful aspects of the program were assisting with organization and time management, providing accountability, and reducing overwhelm by enhancing well-being and performance; they reported that these learned skills would support their well-being as future professionals. This article describes the experiences of one group of veterinary students at one college using these programs. The long-term goal is to develop a model program for all veterinary students to manage curricular demands while maintaining well-being.
