Background: Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, so the government has focused Family Planning Program using contraception. Implants and IUDs are two most effective reversible contraceptive methods and often used in Indonesia. Implant releases progestin, with most common reported side effect of abnormal bleeding. Specically for levonorgestrel implants, changes in menstrual intervals, duration, volume of menstrual ow can occur. Progestins are believed to cause changes in platelet and blood vessel, leading to hypercoagulability state, which can be assessed through coagulation assays (PT, TT, aPTT) and level of AT-III. Objective: This aims to determine the differences in coagulation assays and AT-III levels between levonorgestrel implant versus IUD acceptors. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with retrospective cross-sectional design. The population were case population (levonorgestrel implant acceptors) and control population (IUD). A total of 74 respondents were chosen by consecutive sampling. Characteristics data were obtained by interview, anthropometric measurements, and medical records; PT, TT, aPTT, and AT-III data were obtained from blood samples by ELISA method. An independent T-test was used to analyze the data. Results: Mean PT was the same for implant and IUD users, 13.11 seconds (SD=0.81 seconds) (p=0.1,000). Mean TT of implant users was 14.78 seconds (SD=1.18 seconds) and IUD 14.58 seconds. (SD=1.18 seconds) (p=0.75). Mean aPTT for implant users was 30.22 seconds (SD=4.65 seconds) and IUD 30.55 seconds (SD=2.79 seconds) (p=0.200). Mean of ATIII in implant users was 92.18% (SD=9.72%) and IUD 84.79% (SD=14.74%) (p=0.250). Conclusion: No signicant mean differences for PT, TT, aPTT, and AT-III between groups of levonorgestrel implant and IUD acceptors (p value> 0.05).

Background: Low public awareness of the impact of smoking makes the implementation of smoke-free areas (KTR) difficult. Smoke-free areas aim to protect the public from the direct and indirect effects of smoking. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the application of smoke-free areas and the prevalence of active and ex-smokers in Indonesia. Method: This study implemented a cross-sectional design, using secondary data from the Riskesdas 2018 on active and ex-smokers. KTR application data were obtained from the Profile of Non-Communicable Diseases in 2016. A Pearson product-moment test was conducted by a computer application to determine the correlation coefficient (r). This coefficient was used to describe the level of correlation between the two variables; significance was determined as a p value of 5%. Results: This study showed that the average application of KTR throughout Indonesia was 50.83%, active smokers comprised 23.49% of the population, and ex-smokers comprised 4.94%. Most active smokers were in Java and Sumatra, while the majority of ex-smokers were in Java and Sulawesi and the majority of KTR was in Java. This study shows that there is a positive correlation between KTR application and the percentage of ex-smokers (r = 0.46; p value = 0.01). Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between the application of KTR and an increase in ex-smokers. The government needs to increase the application of KTR policies.

Background and Aim: Healthcare workers have the highest risk of exposure to COVID-19 infection due to the nature of their occupation which daily exposes them to infectious agents/people with COVID-19. The study aimed to determine the knowledge of healthcare workers towards COVID-19 infection prevention strategies and factors that affect infection prevention against COVID-19. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional analytical study conducted in a tertiary health institution. One hundred and ninety-five participants were recruited consecutively into the study. Data was collected using a 13-question semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. The knowledge, perceptions and factors contributing to COVID-19 infection, prevention and control (IPC) were measured. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23. The test of significance was set at p-value <0.05. Results: The knowledge of COVID-19 Infection, Prevention and Control (IPC) was 31.8%, 63.6% of the participants were aware of IPC program at the hospital but majority (74.9%) had not received any training. There was no significant association between knowledge of COVID-19 IPC and sociodemographic characteristics. Less than half of the participants (37.4%) had a good perception of the hospital’s readiness for COVID-19 pandemic, 52.8% reported that breeching IPC rules can cause an outbreak of COVID-19 in the hospital. Lack of resources to fulfil Infection, Prevention and Control need is the single most important contributory factor to the spread of COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: The knowledge of COVID-19 infection, prevention and control was poor in the study and the majority of the healthcare workers had not received any training regarding Infection, Prevention and Control. Therefore, there is need for the hospital management with the financial backup from the government to train healthcare workers on Infection prevention and control strategies.

The practice of trade union pluralism at an enterprise level is seen as problematic for both the management of enterprises and the trade union movement. The problems arise from inter-union rivalries, competition and disputes over demarcations of privileges and rights. This article explores the practice of trade union pluralism at the enterprise level in Ghana with the aim of creating awareness of the effect of the practice on the general trade union movement. This qualitative study employed a cross-sectional design and used purposive and snowball sampling methods in selecting the participants. The data was analysed thematically. The findings from the study show that union pluralism is stimulating the decline in general union membership, the breakaway of local unions from the federations, and employers’ classification of workers based on their qualifications once they are employed by organisations, and their assignment to specific unions (automatic membership at enterprise level). It is suggested that employment laws encourage union breakaways, which weakens the unions especially at the enterprise level. It is recommended that the state, labour officials and policy-makers should enforce labour laws, especially regarding freedom of association, and consider revisiting or amending some labour laws to curb their abuse. The government and labour institutions need to work together to operationalise the implementation of legal provisions on freedom of association or consider amending the provisions to curb the existing abuse.
