Gangguan pendengaran pada anak usia dini mempengaruhi proses perkembangan anak. Dampak yang ditimbulkan menyebabkan gangguan dalam berbahasa, perubahan kepribadian, sikap, kemampuan berkomunikasi, kepekaan terhadap lingkungan, kemampuan kognitif, emosional dan kemampuan untuk melindungi diri sendiri. Gangguan ini disebabkan oleh faktor genetik maupun non genetik yang dapat muncul sejak lahir maupun di atas usia tiga tahun. Bayi yang memiliki riwayat kesehatan kurang baik cenderung memiliki gangguan pendengaran dibandingkan dengan bayi yang memiliki riwayat kesehatan yang sehat.  Deteksi dini gangguan pendengaran perlu dilakukan pada anak usia dini sehingga pemberian intervensi lebih awal dapat dilakukan apabila ditemukan adanya gangguan pendengaran. Deteksi dan rehabilitasi dini yang tepat dapat meningkatkan perkembangan bicara dan berbahasa anak. Keterlambatan dalam melakukan deteksi dini akan menimbulkan keterlambatan untuk memulai intervensi dan berdampak negatif dalam perkembangan anak selanjutnya. Deteksi gangguan pendengaran  dilakukan dengan menggunakan rangsangan bunyi sejak bayi dan menggunakan alat audiometer pada anak usia di atas 48 bulan sesuai dengan tahapan pertumbuhan dan perkembanganya. Deteksi dini gangguan pendengaran  dilakukan dengan cara mengamati reaksi anak terhadap suara atau tes fungsi pendengaran dengan metode dan peralatan yang sederhana. Deteksi ini dapat dilakukan oleh guru, tenaga kependidikan, orang tua ataupun petugas kesehatan Kata kunci: deteksi gangguan pendengaran, usia dini Hearing loss in early childhood affects the child's development process. The impact caused by language disorders, changes in personality, attitudes, communication skills, sensitivity to the environment, cognitive abilities, emotional and ability to protect yourself. The purpose of this study is to explain the detection of hearing loss in early childhood. The research method used is descriptive literature research. The results of this study stated that hearing loss in early childhood is caused by genetic and non-genetic factors that can arise from birth or over the age of three years. Babies who have a poor health history tend to have hearing loss compared to babies who have a healthy health history. Early detection of hearing loss needs to be done in early childhood so that early intervention can be given if hearing loss is found. Appropriate early detection and rehabilitation can improve children's speech and language development. Delay in early detection will cause delays to start interventions and have a negative impact on further child development. Detection of hearing loss is carried out using sound stimulation since infancy and using an audiometer in children over 48 months according to their stages of growth and development. Early detection of hearing loss is done by observing the child's reaction to sound or hearing function tests with simple methods and equipment. This detection can be done by teachers, education personnel, parents or health workers. Keywords: detection of hearing loss, early childhood

AbstractThe importance of Early Childhood (EC) educators’ wellbeing has been brought into sharp focus during the COVID-19 pandemic, as educators have navigated numerous additional stressors while providing education and care services for some children and ongoing support for many others learning at home. This study aimed to explore the impact of the pandemic on EC educators’ wellbeing and educator-child relationships, as growing evidence shows the influence of these factors on children’s developmental outcomes.In July 2020, members of a Research Network of EC Professionals—who previously identified educator wellbeing as a priority issue—were invited to participate in an online survey. The survey included two published, validated scales: the Early Childhood Professional Wellbeing scale (ECPW) and the Student–Teacher Relationship Scale (modified). Survey items about educators’ experiences during the pandemic were also included. Two hundred and thirty-two EC educators from across Australia completed the survey, mostly from Victoria where lockdowns were most severe. Linear regression analysis demonstrated stronger professional wellbeing was associated with less conflict in educator-child relationships and lower risk of staff turnover. This was more likely to be experienced by senior or more experienced staff. Although a negative impact of COVID-19 was reported, ECPW scores were relatively high, and organizational structures supporting professional wellbeing were most strongly associated with lower risk of turnover (r = 0.63, p < 0.001). Findings highlight that supporting EC educators’ wellbeing is essential for workforce retention, and for promoting quality educator-child relationships which are central to young children’s learning and development.

The Impact

A modern school deals with a generation of students who were born and grown up in a digital environment and require other teaching methods. Changes in the technological and social conditions of modern society need new professional skills, which are often called “21st century skills”. These skills should be devel-oped starting from the primary school, as they are psychological and behavioural, rather than practical. Game-based learning and gamification are effective means of such skills development. The use of video games in teaching practice is studied multifaceted, along with formats and requirements of educational game, methods for effectiveness assessment, and the effect of games on students. The controver-sial nature of game-based learning effect on students require deeper research, as the increase in motivation and learning efficiency cannot be disputed, as well as the negative impact of a long gaming on cognitive abilities, emotional state and social skills of students. The study tested both an increase in the motivation and attraction of school students for the learning process, and the impact on the prac-tical results of information assimilation. There was conducted a survey on the re-sults of the application of game training to determine the motivation and attraction of students. Likewise, we counted time, spent by the study and control group, for mastering the main educational material and the post-class study of game content and the educational material it presents. A comparative test was conducted on the results of educational material comprehension to determine the effectiveness of the methodology in mastering knowledge. The group, with game-based learning and gamification applied, showed an increase in motivation and attraction to learning, students paid additional efforts for assimilating the material studied, and also showed significantly higher learning outcomes compared to the control group.

The Impact

It is well known and documented that sensory perception decreases with age. In the elderly population, hearing loss and reduced vestibular function are among the most prevalently affected senses. Two important side effects of sensory deprivation are cognitive decline and decrease in social participation. Hearing loss, vestibular function impairment, and cognitive decline all lead to a decrease in social participation. Altogether, these problems have a great impact on the quality of life of the elderly. This is why a rehabilitation program covering all of these aspects would therefore be useful for clinicians. It is well known that long-term music training can lead to cortical plasticity. Behavioral improvements have been measured for cognitive abilities and sensory modalities (auditory, motor, tactile, and visual) in healthy young adults. Based on these findings, it is possible to wonder if this kind of multisensory training would be an interesting therapy to not only improve communication but also help with posture and balance, cognitive abilities, and social participation. The aim of this review is to assess and validate the impact of music therapy in the context of hearing rehabilitation in older adults. Musical therapy seems to have a positive impact on auditory perception, posture and balance, social integration, and cognition. While the benefits seem obvious, the evidence in the literature is scarce. However, there is no reason not to recommend the use of music therapy as an adjunct to audiological rehabilitation in the elderly when possible. Further investigations are needed to conclude on the extent of the benefits that music therapy could bring to older adults. More data are needed to confirm which hearing abilities can be improved based on the many characteristics of hearing loss. There is also a need to provide a clear protocol for clinicians on how this therapy should be administered to offer the greatest possible benefits.

The Impact

There is a strong association between reliance on the promotional activities of pharmaceutical companies and a generally less appropriate use of prescription drugs. Pharmaceutical companies direct some of their promotion towards health workers who do not have the authority to prescribe medicines, such as nurses in certain countries. The aim of this study was to determine the impact that exposure to the marketing methods of pharmaceutical companies has on judgments made by nursing students about health worker—pharmaceutical company relationships. A cross-sectional survey was carried out with 442 nursing students in Istanbul, Turkey. The exposure of students to the marketing methods of pharmaceutical companies, whether it be indirectly through observation or directly by first-hand experience, increases the probability that students will adopt rationales that underlie affirmative judgments of health worker—pharmaceutical company relationships. Based on the pervasiveness and ability of drug promotion to influence the perceptions of students, it is imperative that attempts be made to reduce its negative impact.

Introduction: COVID-19 has transformed stem cell transplantation (HSCT) dynamics throughout the world. Bone Marrow Transplantation units are facing many challenges complicating admission; deferrals in transplant schedules and even temporary closure. Delay in treatment may have a negative impact in outcomes. Outpatient care has been an alternative to hospital care in patients undergoing HSCT since the 1990s. Potential advantages include improved patient independence and satisfaction, improved quality of life, and less hospital resource utilization, which is of particular importance during this epidemic. In this prospective cohort study, we investigated the impact of the pandemic in our outpatient HSCT program. Objective: To describe the outcomes of patients undergoing ambulatory HSCT during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Adults and children with any hematological disease undergoing any type of HSCT with an outpatient intent from March to July 2020 were included. All were required to have a Karnofsky score &gt;70%, serum creatinine &lt;2 mg/dL, temporary residence near the hospital, an adequate caregiver, with appropriate educational level and history of treatment adherence. All cases lacked alternative therapies and were discussed thoroughly and approved by our transplant committee. After infusion, patients stayed at home and were seen in the outpatient clinic every other day until hospitalization requirement or engraftment; afterward weekly and bi-weekly through day +100. Patients were instructed to stay at home isolation 14 days before the procedure, and to report the presence of fever, to notify any COVID-19 contact or symptoms including cough, rhinorrhea, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, and anosmia. All patients and caregivers were screened with questionnaires according to the updated COVID-19 case definition. Hand and respiratory hygiene were recommended for donors, receptors, and health workers. Proper personal protective equipment was used according to WHO guidelines. Only a single caregiver was allowed during outpatient visits and hospitalization. Results: Since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico (February 28th 2020) 21 HSCT have been conducted with ambulatory intent. Fourteen allogeneic (allo-HSCT, 66.6%) (10 haploidentical, 4 matched related donors) and 7 autologous (auto-HSCT) (33.3%%) transplants have been performed. The median age was 27 years (range, 3-70) for allogeneic HSCT and 30 years for autologous (range, 2-63). Acute leukemia (5 lymphoblastic, 5 myeloblastic) was the most common indication for allo-HSCT, and multiple myeloma for auto-HSCT. PCR for SARS-Cov2 was tested only in 1 receptor before the transplant, due to prior test unavailability in asymptomatic persons. Engraftment was achieved in all patients. All received conditioning as outpatients. Twelve (57.4%) were never hospitalized (4/7 auto and 8/14 allo-HSCT) with a median age of 32.5 (range, 16-70). For allo-HSCT median length of stay (LOS) was 2 days (range, 0-21) while for auto-HSCT was 0 days (range, 0-9). The most common reason for hospitalization was febrile neutropenia (n=6, 46%). A median of 7 visits per patient (4-14) were required until day +100 or last follow-up in the outpatient clinic and complemented with 4 (1-18) telemedicine consults. No one died from transplant related mortality. No cases of COVID19 were documented. Conclusion: Outpatient transplantation is a feasible alternative for performing HSCT during the COVID-19 pandemic minimizing the risk of infection and providing a safe environment for patients, donors, and healthcare providers.

The Impact

Although hearing is known to play an essential role in military operations, few studies have directly measured the impact of hearing loss on combat effectiveness. In this study, Soldiers from the 101st Airborne were equipped with hearing loss simulators allowing parametric adjustment of hearing between normal and profound deafness. They then participated in a combat exercise requiring multiple fire teams with different levels of hearing loss to progress through a series of waypoints in a wooded area as quickly as possible without being eliminated by enemy gunfire. A GPS-based tracking system made it possible to record the progress of each team throughout the exercise, including information on player eliminations and the players credited with these kills. Results show that hearing impairment has a substantial negative impact on the performance of experienced Soldiers in terms of survivability, lethality, and mission success.

Background: This study compares the mental health and psychological response of students with or without hearing loss during the recurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Beijing, the capital of China. It explores the relevant factors affecting mental health and provides evidence-driven strategies to reduce adverse psychological impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We used the Chinese version of depression, anxiety, and stress scale 21 (DASS-21) to assess the mental health and the impact of events scale—revised (IES-R) to assess the COVID-19 psychological impact. Results: The students with hearing loss are frustrated with their disability and particularly vulnerable to stress symptoms, but they are highly endurable in mitigating this negative impact on coping with their well-being and responsibilities. They are also more resilient psychologically but less resistant mentally to the pandemic impacts than the students with normal hearing. Their mental and psychological response to the pandemic is associated with more related factors and variables than that of the students with normal hearing is. Conclusions: To safeguard the welfare of society, timely information on the pandemic, essential services for communication disorders, additional assistance and support in mental counseling should be provided to the vulnerable persons with hearing loss that are more susceptible to a public health emergency.

Prevention Of Breast Cancer

The problem of breast cancer and the impact it has created will require public health interventions in the form of a national countermeasure program regulated in Permenkes No. 34 of 2015 concerning Management of Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer. One of the prevention of breast cancer is case finding with early detection which is done through Breast Self-Examination (BSE) which can be done easily which aims to determine the presence or absence of a lump that can develop into breast cancer. One of the prevention of breast cancer is case finding with early detection which is done through Breast Self-Examination (BSE) which can be done easily which aims to determine the presence or absence of a lump that can develop into breast cancer.  The purpose of this activity is to increase knowledge, and change behavior about early detection of breast cancer through Breast Self-Examination (BSE) in Cipayung Village, Depok City. The target audience for this service is the Health Officers and Cadres in the Puskesmas, and especially the mothers in Cipayung Village. The method of implementation of this community service includes the preparation, implementation and evaluation stages. In the preparation stage it was shown that all participants had never received education about BSE before, even 95% of the 32 participants had just heard about BSE. Low initial knowledge can be seen from the results of pre-tests conducted in which the majority of mothers' level of knowledge is still low about breast self-examination and breast cancer after education and training there is an increase in maternal knowledge about breast self-examination. It is recommended that health workers regularly provide education about breast self-awareness to women, especially mothers.

Purpose This forum provides an overview of current research and clinical practice for children with mild bilateral or unilateral hearing loss. Historically, there has been ambiguity surrounding the need for intervention in this population. Our goal is to explore the literature on outcomes and treatment so that audiologists, speech-language pathologists, teachers, physicians, and families can be confident in the clinical decision-making process when working with these children. To that end, topics include (a) progression of mild hearing loss in children; (b) the impact of mild or unilateral hearing loss on language, listening, and cognitive abilities; (c) research and reviews on intervention approaches; and (d) listening effort and fatigue in unilateral hearing loss. Conclusion Uncertainty about outcomes and treatment approaches for children with mild or unilateral hearing loss leads to inconsistent intervention and increased developmental risk. We hope that this forum will generate productive discussion among researchers and clinicians to ensure that all children with hearing loss reach their full potential.

Psychosocial risks arising from work, like workload, have a negative impact on the quality of work life, especially in terms of the deterioration in working conditions and negative consequences for employees’ health. The style of leadership exercised is key in coping with perceived psychosocial risks. The purpose of this study was to analyse the influence of transformational leadership and workload on psychosomatic disorders, and the moderating role of transformational leadership in the relationship between workload and psychosomatic disorders. The sample consisted of 408 Spanish employees working with people with intellectual disabilities. Workload and Psychosomatic disorders were measured by the UNIPSICO subscales, Transformational leadership was measured by a subscale adapted from the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 1989). Carrying out moderation analysis in PROCESS 3.4 results showed that both Workload and Transformational leadership had a significant influence on Psychosomatic disorders. In addition, Transformational leadership moderated the relationship between Workload and Psychosomatic disorders. Transformational leadership buffers the impact of workload on employees’ health and therefore in the need to carry out training programs for managers in organizations in order to exercise a healthy management. Los riesgos psicosociales derivados del trabajo, como la sobrecarga laboral, tienen un impacto negativo en la calidad de vida laboral, especialmente en el deterioro de las condiciones laborales y en la salud de los empleados. El estilo de liderazgo ejercido es clave en el afrontamiento de los riesgos psicosociales percibidos. El propósito de este estudio fue analizar la influencia del liderazgo transformacional y la sobrecarga laboral sobre los problemas psicosomáticos, y el papel moderador del liderazgo transformacional en la relación entre sobrecarga laboral y problemas psicosomáticos. La muestra consistió en 408 empleados españoles que trabajan con personas con discapacidad intelectual. Sobrecarga laboral y Problemas psicosomáticos se midieron con las subescalas UNIPSICO y Liderazgo transformacional se midió con una subescala adaptada del Cuestionario Multifactorial de Liderazgo (Bass & Avolio, 1989). El análisis de moderación mediante PROCESS 3.4 mostró que tanto Sobrecarga laboral como Liderazgo transformacional tuvieron una influencia significativa sobre Problemas psicosomáticos. Además, Liderazgo transformacional moderó la relación entre Sobrecarga laboral y Problemas psicosomáticos. El liderazgo transformacional amortigua el impacto de la sobrecarga laboral en la salud de los empleados y, por lo tanto, se destaca la necesidad de implementar programas de capacitación para directivos en las organizaciones con el fin de ejercer una gestión saludable.
