The Covid-19 pandemic that emerged in early 2020 caused several changes in various aspects of life, one of which was work aspect. Changes to work system were made by a number of companies in order to minimize the spread of Covid-19. However, these changes were not as well made as expected, considering that several survey results showed that most employees felt more stressed than usual. This was partly due to the increased workload since the company implemented several adjustments such as work from home. Some small companies had even reduced employee income in response to the pandemic situation. This, of course, has become one concern for employees, in which there are some employees who are not ready to face this. This study aims to explore what factors that become sources of stress for employees during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the coping performed in dealing with it. The approach used in this research was qualitative, specifically exploratory in order to obtain new findings based on the data obtained regarding pandemic situation. The data were collected by interviewing four employees and analyzed using thematic analysis technique. The result showed that the study participants felt mild to moderate stress. Most of the stress they felt resulted from their work. Furthermore, the participants performed coping to anticipate negative things they might experience during the pandemic. Keywords: Stress, coping, Covid-19 Pandemi Covid-19 yang muncul pada awal tahun 2020 menimbulkan beberapa perubahan pada berbagai aspek kehidupan manusia, salah satunya pekerjaan. Perubahan terhadap sistem kerja dilakukan oleh sejumlah perusahaan dalam rangka meminimalisir penyebaran Covid-19. Namun demikian, perubahan tersebut tidak semulus yang diharapkan, mengingat beberapa hasil survey yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar karyawan merasa lebih stres dibandingkan biasanya. Hal ini salah satunya disebabkan oleh beban kerja yang meningkat karena perusahaan menerapkan beberapa penyesuaian seperti work from home. Beberapa perusahaan kecil bahkan melakukan pengurangan terhadap penghasilan karyawan sebagai reaksi terhadap situasi pandemi. Hal ini tentunya menjadi keresahan tersendiri bagi para karyawan, dimana tidak semua karyawan siap untuk menghadapi hal tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi faktor apa saja yang menjadi sumber stres bagi karyawan selama pandemi Covid-19 serta coping yang dilakukan dalam menghadapi hal tersebut. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini pendekatan kualitiatif, khususnya studi eksploratif guna memperoleh temuan baru berdasarkan data yang diperoleh terkait situasi pandemi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode wawancara terhadap empat orang karyawan dan diolah dengan menggunakan teknik analisis tematik. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa partisipan penelitian merasakan stres tingkat ringan hingga moderat. Adapun stres yang mereka rasakan sebagian besar bersumber dari pekerjaannya. Lebih lanjut, partisipan melakukan coping guna mengantisipasi hal-hal negatif yang mungkin dialaminya selama pandemi.Kata Kunci: Stres, coping, Covid-19

Abstract The purpose of this research was to investigate how informal caregivers of older adults cope with and negotiate driving safety when their loved one is no longer safe to drive. Fifteen informal caregivers of an older adult living at home took part in the present study. Participants cared for individuals with a range of health conditions that significantly impaired driving safety, including dementia, Parkinson’s disease, macular degeneration, and stroke. A thematic analysis of participants’ accounts identified the complex interpersonal, social, and organisational context they encountered when their loved one did not recognise or acknowledge limitations in their ability to drive. This analysis highlights the ethical dilemma at the heart of caregivers’ experiences and identifies stake and blame as key considerations in the development of sensitive and effective policies and practices.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have significant potential in the healthcare field. Ethical and practical concerns, challenges, and complexities of using drones for specific and diverse healthcare purposes have been minimally explored to date. This paper aims to document and advance awareness of diverse context-specific concerns, challenges, and complexities encountered by individuals working on the front lines of drones for health. It draws on original qualitative research and data from semi-structured interviews (N = 16) with drones for health program managers and field staff in nine countries. Directed thematic analysis was used to analyze interviews and identify key ethical and practical concerns, challenges, and complexities experienced by participants in their work with drones for health projects. While some concerns, challenges, and complexities described by study participants were more technical in nature, for example, those related to drone technology and approval processes, the majority were not. The bulk of context-specific concerns and challenges identified by participants, we propose, could be mitigated through community engagement initiatives.

Research background. Epilepsy is not only a central nervous system or brain disorder. It is a biological, psychological and social condition (Scambler, 2010). Children with epilepsy have a higher risk of having psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and attention defcit disorders. The application of art therapy for people with epilepsy helps to express and understand feelings more effectively (Shore, 2014). Unfortunately, there is a lack of research that analyses the experience of epilepsy patients in art therapy. The aim of this article is to reveal and describe experiences of epileptic people during art therapy. Research questions: What experiences of epilepsy patients predominate in the collected thematic analysis data? What formal elements of drawing reflect the participants’ experiences? How does thematic analysis data relate to the data of formal elements analysis of drawings? Methods. Qualitative study in which the participants of the study were subjected to group art therapy. The data was analysed by the thematic method and the analysis of formal elements of the drawings. Results. The analysis of the verbal data revealed the individual themes of the study participants’ experiences. After drawing analysis formal elements were found that expressed the participants’ experiences. Conclusions. 1. Experiences dominating in thematic analysis are loneliness and confnement during difcult moments, as well as constant tension and internal confusion. 2. The experiences of research participants are reflected in these repeated formal elements of drawing: the use of confnes and framing, the use of black and red collars, fgurative and abstract depictions, the chaotic nature of the composition, the lack of concreteness in shapes, expressiveness, and incompleteness. 3. The thematic and formal drawing element analyses complement each other. Drawings that convey the illness-related experiences include confnes, framing, and black colour in the main elements of the composition. Drawing that reflects unpleasant feelings and experiences uses abstract depiction, chaotic compositions, the lack of concreteness in shapes, expressiveness and incompleteness.Keywords: epilepsy, art therapy, psychosocial risks.

COVID-19 pandemic has become the major problem over the world since 2019. This spreading has affected every section in Indonesia. Therefore, social distancing and restriction have been the primary solution this far. However, this policy trigger high sedentary behavior and could affect Body Mass Index (BMI) profile. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between Work From Home (WFH) frequency and BMI profile during COVID-19 based on physical activity. A total of 205 participants aged 18 and over who were students, private and government employees were participated in a cross-sectional study. Participants were given a questionnaire through google form online and completed the questions about duration of WFH, BMI status, and physical activity. All of the variables were analyzed. Participants engaged in this study were 40% students, 33% private employees, 27% government employees. The majority of the population had overweight BMI status (39.2%). Furthermore, most participants were doing light physical activity (74.5%). About 46.1 % of the participants rarely doing WFH (1-2 days). On the other side, a population with overweight BMI status were often doing WFH. Based on the research about the effect of pandemic on BMI profile, it can be concluded that the BMI status of the majority of respondents is overweight, and most of the respondent’s physical activity are rare. The amount of WFH frequencies can affect BMI status profile.

Patients Experience

Background and Issues: The collection and reporting of Rehabilitation Intensity (RI) in a national rehabilitation database was mandated on April 1, 2015 for all stroke patients within Ontario, to support evaluation of stroke best practice implementation. RI includes minutes of direct task-specific therapy patients experience per day. This requires a shift in thinking from capturing the clinician’s time spent in therapy to the patient perspective. To ensure that high quality data is collected, it was important to understand clinicians’ experiences in collecting RI data. Purpose: To identify enablers and barriers to RI data collection in order to inform the development of resources to support clinicians. Methods: A 12-item electronic survey was developed by an Ontario Stroke Network (OSN) task group to evaluate the clinician experience of RI data collection (including: demographics, barriers, enablers, education, resources, and practice change). The survey was distributed via SurveyMonkey® and sent to clinicians from 48 hospitals, 3 weeks post implementation of RI data collection. Analyses involved descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results: Three hundred and twenty-one clinicians from 47 hospitals responded to the survey. Survey results suggest RI data collection is feasible; seventy-one percent of clinicians report it takes 10 minutes or less to enter RI data. Thematic analysis identified: 5 common challenges with most frequently reported relating to data quality, 30% (N=358) and 6 common enablers with most frequently reported relating to ease of collecting RI data through workload measurement systems, 50% (N=46). Suggestions for educational resources included tools for identifying what is included in RI and the provision of education (e.g. webinars). Conclusions: RI data collection is feasible for clinicians. Education and resources developed should support key challenges and enablers identified by clinicians - to enhance data quality and the consistency of RI collection. As RI data fields are available through a national rehabilitation database, this work sets the foundation for other provinces interested in the systematic collection and reporting of RI data.

The purpose of this study is to examine university students' strategies for coping with stress in terms of various variables. The study was carried out with 215 girls, 86 boys and 301 people studying at Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University in the 2019-2020 academic year. According to the research findings; It was found that students resort to social support, which does not show a desperate approach to the events in which they are more optimistic and confident in their strategies to deal with stress. It has been observed that students have positive behaviors in their strategies to cope with stress, their irrational beliefs and personal control of university students and their thoughts about being externally supervised, and especially believing in luck and striving, are related to their styles of coping with stress. Opinions differed between university students' genders and the faculty variables they studied. Keywords: Stress, Stress Coping, Stress Coping Strategy, University students,

AbstractWe conducted two studies to test the validity, reliability, feasibility and acceptability of using video chat technology to quantify dietary and pill-taking (i.e. supplement and medication) adherence. In study 1, we investigated whether video chat technology can accurately quantify adherence to dietary and pill-taking interventions. Mock study participants ate food items and swallowed pills, while performing randomised scripted ‘cheating’ behaviours to mimic non-adherence. Monitoring was conducted in a cross-over design, with two monitors watching in-person and two watching remotely by Skype on a smartphone. For study 2, a twenty-two-item online survey was sent to a listserv with more than 20 000 unique email addresses of past and present study participants to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the technology. For the dietary adherence tests, monitors detected 86 % of non-adherent events (sensitivity) in-person v. 78 % of events via video chat monitoring (P=0·12), with comparable inter-rater agreement (0·88 v. 0·85; P=0·62). However, for pill-taking, non-adherence trended towards being more easily detected in-person than by video chat (77 v. 60 %; P=0·08), with non-significantly higher inter-rater agreement (0·85 v. 0·69; P=0·21). Survey results from study 2 (n 1076 respondents; ≥5 % response rate) indicated that 86·4 % of study participants had video chatting hardware, 73·3 % were comfortable using the technology and 79·8 % were willing to use it for clinical research. Given the capability of video chat technology to reduce participant burden and outperform other adherence monitoring methods such as dietary self-report and pill counts, video chatting is a novel and promising platform to quantify dietary and pill-taking adherence.
