Abstrack The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the learning system in Indonesia from face-to-face in a room to online learning through electronic devices. Teachers/lecturers, students and students are forced to study from home because face-to-face learning is abolished to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. The online learning model is still very rarely carried out by several universities considering that campus readiness in carrying out online lectures takes time, as well as student readiness to take online lectures requires time and process, therefore it is necessary to map students' perceptions of the implementation of online learning for students. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of students of the Faculty of Health Sciences UNW Mataram (FIK UNW Mataram) towards online learning during the Covid 19 Pandemic. This study was a descriptive study with a cross sectional approach. The sample of this study was all students of FIK UNW Mataram which consisted of 3 study programs, namely D3 Pharmacy, D3 Midwifery, and D3 Nursing, totaling 247 people. This research was conducted in the Odd semester 2020/2021. The instrument used is a closed questionnaire about students' perceptions of online learning with answers that are degraded according to the Likert scale and have been validated by experts. The analysis technique used is descriptive. The results showed that descriptive analysis of the perception data of FIK UNW Mataram students towards online learning resulted in an average of 2.06 or a fairly good category. Therefore, it can be concluded that online learning at FIK UNW Mataram in the 2020/2021 Odd Semester was less effective.Keywords: Perseption; online learning; covid-19 AbstrakMasa Pandemi Covid-19 telah mengubah system pembelajaran di Indonesia dari yang tatap muka dalam ruangan menjadi pembelajaran online melalui perangkat elektronik. Guru/dosen, siswa dan mahasiswa terpaksa belajar dari rumah karena pembelajaran tatap muka ditiadakan untuk mencegah penularan covid-19. Model pembelajaran Daring masih sangat jarang dilakukan oleh beberapa perguruan tinggi mengingat kesiapan kampus dalam melaksanakan perkuliahan daring ini membutuhkan waktu, begitu juga kesiapan mahasiswa dalam mengikuti perkuliahan daring ini membutuhkan waktu dan proses, oleh sebab itu diperlukan adanya pemetaan persepsi mahasiswa terhadap pelaksanaan pembelajaran daring pada mahasiswa FIK UNW Mataram. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui persepsi mahasiswa Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan terhadap pembelajaran daring pada masa Pandemi Covid 19. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswa FIK UNW Mataram yang terdiri dari 3 program studi yaitu D3 Farmasi, D3 Kebidanan, dan D3 Keperawatan yang berjumlah 247 orang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada semester Ganjil 2020/2021. Instrument yang digunakan adalah angket tertutup tentang persepsi mahasiswa tentang pembelajaran daring dengan jawaban berdegradasi sesuai skala likert dan telah divalidasi ahli. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa analisis deskriptif data persepsi mahasiswa FIK UNW Mataram terhadap pembelajaran daring menghasilkan rata-rata sebesar 2.06 atau kategori cukup baik. Oleh sebab itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran daring di FIK UNW Mataram pada Semester Ganjil 2020/2021 berlangsung kurang efektif. Kata kunci: Persepsi; pembelajaran daring; covid-19

Introduction: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has gained relevance as a method of prevention for HIV in certain people and settings. Following the publication of the guideline on PrEP prescribing in Portugal, we aimed to assess the knowledge of Portuguese Medical Students about PrEP.Material and Methods: An online survey was sent to Medical students of Portuguese Medical Schools. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the results and an analytic cross-sectional study to identify factors associated with “knowing about PrEP”, “having had one class about PrEP” and “identifying eligible groups correctly”.Results: Of the 796 students that responded to the survey, 64.6% were aware of what PrEP is. Of these, 34.44% acquired this knowledge during their training. Out of the total amount of respondents, 4.77% could identify correctly and completely the eligible groups for PrEP. As the training years went by, the probability of being aware of PrEP, having had one class about PrEP, and identifying the eligible groups correctly, increased. Of the sixth-year students, 43.48% had had one class about PrEP and among the students that were aware of PrEP, 28% identified what the eligible groups were. After adjusting for the school year, we found differences between Medical Schools regarding the outcomes. The association between the different ways of learning about PrEP and the ability to correctly identify eligible groups for PrEP was not statistically significant.Conclusion: The differences between Medical Schools could be harmonized through changes in the medical curricula that would allow this topic to be addressed more often.

Abstract Background Homoprejudiced violence, defined as physical, verbal, psychological and cyber aggression against others because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation, is an important public health issue. Most homoprejudiced violence research has been conducted in high-income countries. This study aimed to examine the experience and perpetration of homoprejudiced violence among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guangzhou, China. Methods MSM in a large Chinese city, Guangzhou, completed an online survey instrument that was distributed through community-based organizations. Descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the sample characteristics. Multivariable logistic regression analyses, controlling for age, residence, occupation, heterosexual marriage, education and income, were carried out to explore associated factors. Results A total of 777 responses were analyzed and most (64.9%) were under the age of 30. Three-hundred-ninety-nine (51.4%) reported experiencing homoprejudiced violence, while 205 (25.9%) reported initiating homoprejudiced violence against others. Compared to respondents who self-identified as gay, respondents who were heterosexual were 0.6 times (AOR=0.6, 95% CI: 0.4-0.9) as likely to have experienced homoprejudiced violence, whereas those who were unsure about their sexual orientation were 2.6 times (AOR=2.6, 95% CI: 1.2-5.5) more likely to have experienced homoprejudiced violence before. Furthermore, a strong association (AOR=2,4. 95% CI: 1.6-3.5) was identified between experiencing homoprejudiced violence and initiating violence. MSM who had disclosed their sexual orientation to people other than their partners were more likely to have experienced homoprejudiced violence (AOR=1.8, 95% CI:1.3-2.5). Conclusions These findings suggest the importance of research and the implementation of interventions focused on preventing and mitigating the effects of homoprejudiced violence affecting MSM in China.

ABSTRACT Introduction: the confinement imposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 induces changes in habits and unhealthy lifestyles. Objectives: to verify changes associated with confinement in eating habits and lifestyle in the Argentine population and their differences between the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) and the rest of the country. Materials and methods: cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study, through an “online” survey (December 2020) carried out on adults residing in Argentina. Age, gender and place of residence were surveyed, as well as the changes registered regarding weight, eating habits, physical activity, desire to eat and quality of sleep. A descriptive analysis of the valid surveys received (N=1,536) was carried out, verifying differences between the regions using parametric and nonparametric tests, considering significant p<0.05. Results: 75.1% of the participants were women (38.8±13.1 years), 60.5% from the AMBA and 39.5% from the rest of the country. Isolation was associated with changes that impacted on the psychological, stress, healthy habits, and sleep, with some significant regional differences. However, the common end result between AMBA and the rest of the country was the greater increase in caloric intake and the decrease in physical activity that led to 39.7% of the participants increasing their weight (mean 4.8±2,8 kg). Conclusions: isolation was associated with undesirable side effects, which could be diminished through the virtual promotion of healthy habits that would simultaneously decrease the growth of obesity and diabetes. Key words: COVID-19; social isolation; eating habits; lifestyle; physical activity.

Abstract Background Previous studies have examined barriers (e.g. time) for Family Medicine Providers (FMPs) to provide nutrition and lifestyle counseling, however, to date no studies have examined access or interest to Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) care for patients. Objective The objective of this study was to explore FMP access, referral practices, barriers and preferences for RDN care. Methods A cross-sectional online survey, with content and face validation was conducted with Family Medicine Departments within large academic health care systems in the Southeastern United States. The main variables of interest included: FMP access, interest, current referrals and referral preferences for RDN care, barriers to referrals and overall perceptions regarding RDN care. Descriptive analysis of close-ended responses was performed with SPSS 26.0. Open-ended responses were analysed using inductive content analysis. Results Over half of the respondents (n = 151) did not have an RDN on-site (64%) yet were highly interested in integrating an RDN (94.9%), with reported preferences for full-time on-site, part-time on-site or off-site RDN care (49.1%, 39.5% and 11.4% respectively). The greatest reported barriers to RDN referrals were perceived cost for the patient (64.47%) and uncertainty how to find a local RDN (48.6%). The most consistent theme reported in the open-ended responses were concerns regarding reimbursement, e.g. ‘Insurance does not cover all of the ways I would like to use an RDN’. Conclusions FMPs report interest and value in RDN services despite multiple perceived barriers accessing RDNs care. Opportunities exist for interprofessional collaboration between dietetic and FMP professional groups to address barriers.

Introduction:The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Medtech Innovation Briefings (MIBs) are commissioned by the National Health Service (NHS) England and designed to support NHS and social care commissioners and staff who are considering using new medical devices and other medical, digital or diagnostic technologies. MIBs are fast flexible summaries of single technologies that are intended to be responsive to commissioners needs for information about innovative technologies. MIBs include a description of the technology, how it is used and its potential role in the treatment pathway. They also include a review of relevant published evidence and likely costs. As a relatively new product, the format of MIBs continues to evolve and in 2016 a more streamlined evaluation template was introduced. To ensure MIBs continue to meet users’ needs, a study was conducted to understand the opinions and requirements of core stakeholders and to identify key areas for future development.Methods:An initial cross-sectional online survey with NHS staff who were potential users of MIBs was carried out in December 2015. A second round of online and mail-out surveys were circulated between November 2016 and May 2017 to medical technology manufactures and an additional group of NHS staff. Descriptive analysis was used for all quantitative data and qualitative data was summarized using thematic analysis.Results:Thirty-nine medical professionals and fourty-two manufacturer representatives participated in the surveys. More than half of clinicians were aware of MIBs and thought that raising awareness and visibility should be a future priority. Manufactures regarded MIBs as having a positive or mixed impact on innovation, access, or uptake by the healthcare system.Conclusions:Stakeholders are using MIBs in a variety of ways and there was and a range of suggestions for their future development particularly regarding moving from single technology evaluation to simultaneous assessment of similar technologies.
