Background: Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Considering the potential risks of radiation, radiation safety training courses are important for medical staff. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of one-day radiation safety training program in increasing the radiation safety knowledge of physicians. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, subjects were 12 physicians (6 general practitioners and 6 non-radiologist specialists) participated in the training program organized by Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2018. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for surveying physicians before and after the training. The mean and standard deviation of the scores were first calculated. Then, the pre- and post-test scores were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the correlation of these scores with their age, gender, expertise area, and work experience was examined by Spearmanchr('39')s correlation test. Findings: The mean total scores of the physicians before and after training were 7.00±2.56 (ranged 3-11) and 11.92± 2.31 (ranged 8-15) out of 18, respectively. The radiation safety knowledge of physicians significantly increased after training (P<0.001). No significant relationship was found between their scores and their age, gender, expertise area and work experience. Conclusion: The radiation safety training program was effective in increasing the radiation safety knowledge of physicians and it can be used for a larger community of physicians.

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of picture in storybook reading to increase kindness in children. This research involved 31 children aged 5-6 years; they were taken from the kindergarten in Bandung as the participants. The intervention was done by reading eight picture books in eight days. The kindness was measured using a measurement instrument created by the researcher, in the form of nine coloured cards that described the behaviour of kindness. The measurement was also done by seeing through the kindness tree and observation sheets that filled out by the teacher. The data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-rank test shows a significant difference in the average score of kindness (p<0,05) before and after picture storybook reading. Two weeks after the intervention, the improvement on all kindness behaviours with the post-test score is greater than pre-test score that still can be found. Observation through kindness tree and observational sheets shows the same result.

Akumulasi pertandingan dengan masa pemulihan yang singkat menyebabkan kelelahan, kerusakan dan inflamasi otot yang dapat menurunkan daya tahan otot dan meningkatkan resiko cedera. Pada keadaan cedera akut, penggunaan terapi dingin dapat mencegah kerusakan jaringan yang lebih luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas Cold Water Immersion (CWI) suhu 15°C dan 25°C terhadap daya tahan dan persepsi nyeri otot tungkai pada pemain sepak bola usia dini. Desain yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eksperimen semu dengan pola Two Group Pretest-Posttest. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tes dan pengukuran nyeri dan daya tahan otot tungkai. Subjek penelitian ini adalah atlet sepak bola Sekolah Sepak Bola (SSB) KKK Klajuaran usia 9-11 tahun. Teknik sampel menggunakan quota sampling dengan subyek sebanyak 14 orang. Subyek dibagi menjadi dua kelompok yaitu, perlakuan CWI 15°C (G15) dan CWI suhu 25°C (G25). Data pretest pada kedua perlakuan dan data post test kedua perlakuan diuji dengan uji Mann Whitney. Daya tahan otot dan persepsi nyeri sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan pada masing masing kelompok terkumpul dianalisis secara deskriptif dan diuji dengan analisis Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Uji efektivitas dihitung dengan membandingkan selisih data post test dan pretest terhadap data pretest. Tidak ditemukan perbedaan daya tahan otot dan persepsi nyeri sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan antara kedua kelompok perlakuan. Pada kelompok G15 terjadi penurunan persepsi nyeri sebesar 55% dengan uji wilcoxon dengan nilai p = 0,018, akan tetapi tidak ditemukan perubahan daya tahan otot setelah perlakuan. Hasil yang sama ditemukan pada kelompok G25 dimana terdapat penurunan persepsi nyeri sebesar 58% dengan uji wilcoxon dengan p = 0,018 serta tidak ditemukan perubahan daya tahan otot tungkai. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa perlakuan CWI 15°C dan 25°C dapat menurunkan nyeri tapi tidak mempengaruhi daya tahan otot. Tidak terdapat perbedaan efektivitas kedua jenis perlakuan tersebut dalam menurunkan persepsi nyeri dan meningkatkan daya tahan otot. EFFECTIVENESS OF COLD WATER IMMERSION TEMPERATURE OF 15 ° C AND 25° C AGAINST IMPROVEMENT IN ENDURANCE AND PERCEPTION OF LEG MUSCLE PAIN IN EARLY AGE FOOTBALL PLAYERSAbstractAccumulation of matches with a short recovery period causes fatigue, damage and inflammation of the muscles which can reduce muscle endurance and increase the risk of injury. In the case of acute injury, the use of cold therapy can prevent damage to broader tissue. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Cold Water Immersion (CWI) temperatures of 15 ° C and 25 ° C on the endurance and perception of leg muscle pain in early age soccer players.The design used in this study was quasi-experimental with Two Group Pretest-Posttest patterns. The instrument used was a test and measurement of pain and endurance of leg muscles. The subjects of this study were the soccer athletes of Klajuaran KKK Soccer School (SSB) aged 9-11 years. The sampling technique uses quota sampling with subjects as many as 14 people. The subjects were divided into two groups namely, 15 ° C (G15) CWI treatment and 25 ° C (G25) CWI treatment. Pretest data on both treatments and post-test data on both treatments were tested with the Mann Whitney test. Muscle endurance and pain perception before and after treatment in each group collected were analyzed descriptively and tested with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test analysis. The effectiveness test is calculated by comparing the difference between the post test and pretest data against the pretest data. There were no differences in muscle endurance and pain perception before and after treatment between the two treatment groups. In the G15 group there was a decrease in pain perception by 55% with the Wilcoxon test with a value of p = 0.018, but there was no change in muscle endurance after treatment. Similar results were found in the G25 group where there was a decrease in pain perception by 58% with the Wilcoxon test with p = 0.018 and no changes in endurance of leg muscles were found. It can be concluded that the CWI treatment of 15 ° C and 25 ° C can reduce pain but does not affect muscular endurance. There is no difference in the effectiveness of the two types of treatment in reducing pain perception and increasing muscle endurance.

Background: Presbyastasis is multifactorial balance dysfunction that occurs in the elderly person. Presbyastasis can increase the risk of fall, anxiety, and decrease the quality of life. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) has been proven effective to overcome balance disorders, and it is safe for the elderly. Several studies had reported the success of VRT for balance disorders. All this time, the accomplishment of VRT was assessed by using balance test, which had a risk of falling in elderly patients. Objective: To find out the outcome of Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaire score in presbyastasis patients after VRT. Method: Ten presbyastasis patients in age range 60-75 years old who met the study criteria were taken by consecutive sampling. A longitudinal observational (pre and posttest) study by analyzing the DHI questionnaire scores. Assessment was performed twice, before and after VRT. The data was analyzed using paired T test and Wilcoxon signed rank test with outcome p<0.05. Result: The measurement of the emotional subscale DHI (DHI.E) showed the mean score before VRT was 4.00 (1.63), after therapy was 0.00 (0.63), p=0.004. The functional subscale (DHI.F) measurement showed the mean score before VRT was 10.40 (3.98), after therapy was 2.40 (2.07), p 0.00. The mean score of physical subscales (DHI.P) measurement before VRT was 9.00 (4.40), after therapy was 2.00 (1.58), p=0.008. The total DHI score (DHI.T) before VRT was 22.6 (7.67), after VRT was 4.20 (2.2) with p=0.000. Conclusion: There was an improvement in DHI questionnaire score before and after 6 weeks VRT.Keywords: Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), presbyastasis ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Presbiastasis dapat meningkatkan angka jatuh, kecemasan dan menurunkan kemandirian sehingga menurunkan kualitas hidup pada usia lanjut.

Abstract Background Although cesarean sections at full dilatation are increasing, training in delivering a deeply impacted fetal head is lacking among obstetricians. The purpose of the study was to implement and evaluate a theoretical and simulation-based training program for this obstetrical emergency. Methods We developed a training program consisting of a theoretical introduction presenting a clinical algorithm, developed on the basis of the available literature, followed by a simulation session. We used the Kirkpatrick’s framework to evaluate the program. A questionnaire was distributed, directly before, immediately and 6 weeks after the training. Self-perceived competencies were evaluated on a 6-point Likert scale. Pre- and post-test differences in the Likert scale were measured with the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Additionally, the training sessions were video recorded and rated with a checklist in relation to how well the algorithm was followed. Results Eleven residents and eight senior physicians took part to the training. More than 40% of participants experienced a comparable situation after the course during clinical work. Their knowledge and self-perceived competencies improved immediately after the training program and 6 weeks later. Major improvements were seen in the awareness of the algorithm and in the confidence in performing the reverse breech extraction (14.3% of the participants felt confident with the maneuver in the pre-training assessment compared with 66.7% 6 week post-training). Conclusion Our theoretical and simulation-based training program was successful in improving knowledge and confidence of the participants in delivering a deeply impacted fetal head during a cesarean section performed at full dilation.
