Pandemi COVID-19 mengakibatkan pembatasan kontak fisik sehingga berbagai lembaga pendidikan terpaksa menutup kegiatan belajar offline. Departemen Sistem Informasi (DSI) ITS mengambil langkah alternatif dengan menggunakan community-based learning dalam metode pembelajarannya serta memanfaatkan course sebagai tempat mahasiswa dan dosen untuk melaksanakan kuliah. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini berguna untuk evaluasi pola pembelajaran menggunakan platform. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode cross-sectional dengan membandingkan tingkat kepuasan, ketercapaian pembelajaran, dan nilai mahasiswa yang mengambil pembelajaran menggunakan platform Zedemy dan ITS Daring. Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa Tingkat Kepuasan penggunaan platform Zedemy lebih rendah dibanding penggunaan platform ITS Daring dengan rincian 2,33 untuk Zedemy dan 2,47 untuk ITS Daring. Sedangkan untuk Tingkat Ketercapaian Pembelajaran menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan platform Zedemy kurang dari penggunaan platform ITS Daring dengan rincian nilai 2,5 untuk Zedemy dan 2,69 untuk ITS Daring. Hasil Akhir untuk penilaian mahasiswa menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Zedemy mendapatkan lebih banyak presentase nilai A sebanyak 62,5 sedangkan penggunaan platform ITS Daring mendapatkan nilai 61,1. Berdasarkan hasil penilitian tersebut, dapat disimpulkan jika penggunaan platform Zedemy tidak mempengaruhi ketercapaian pembelajaran Mahasiswa SI ITS secara signifikan pada beberapa mata kuliah yang dijadikan acuan dalam penelitian.

The learning process at the tertiary level needs to go through a phase of transformation in line with the demand of the current situation. The implementation of teaching activities and assignments given should emphasize the aspect of human capital formation. In other words, students need to be provided with the concept of independent study, see the problems faced by society and be sensitive to changes taking place in society. This is because, after graduation, students will be in the community. Community groups in the workplace and communities outside the workplace. Aspects of skills acquired while studying at university will be a measure of the ability of students to provide the best service to their employers later. Teaching and learning today needs to be improved according to the changing times. The stigma of society's thinking defining that lecturer are only teachers should be added to lecturers as advisors of a project or assignment given to students. Based on this factor, a study was conducted to see how the implementation of Community Based Learning (CBL) in Community Service courses can be used as an effective teaching medium in building students' personalities. The design of the study was a survey study (cross-sectional survey) and the data obtained were analyzed descriptively based on the percentage obtained from the distribution of the questionnaire. Respondents involved in this study were 239 undergraduate students from various backgrounds and institutions of study namely Uitm, UUM UniKL, and UniSHAMS. The study focused on the impact and challenges aspects of students applying CBL in Community Service courses. The findings of the study found that the formation of student personality such as self–confidence, leadership attitude, critical thinking occurs when CBL is applied in the teaching and learning process. Although CBL successfully applied in teaching and learning, there were some students who had to face some form of challenge. Among the dominant forms of challenge are differences of opinion with group members, lack of cooperation by the community, and financial constraints. However, on the basis of commitment and responsibility, students can deal with the problems faced in a wise manner and eventually be able to complete the assigned tasks.

Background: Mood disorders are associated with a high risk of suicide. Statin therapy has been implicated in this relationship. Aims: To further clarify reported associations between suicide and cholesterol in mental health conditions, we conducted an analysis of dietary, clinical, and suicidal ideation measures in community-living adults with mood disorders. Method: Data were used from a cross-sectional study of a randomly selected community-based sample (> 18 years; n = 97) with verified mood disorders. Dietary (e.g., fat, iron, vitamin intakes), clinical (e.g., current depression and mania symptoms, medications), and sociodemographic (age, sex, and income) measures were analyzed using bivariate statistics and Poisson regression with robust variance. Results: Participants were predominantly female (71.1%) with bipolar disorder (59.8%); almost one-third (28.9%) were taking lipophilic statins. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was more than 2.5 times in those taking statins, PR = 2.59, 95% CI 1.27–5.31, p < .05. The prevalence ratio for suicidal ideation was 1.10, 95% CI 1.06–1.15, p < .001, for each unit increase in mania symptom scores. No associations between suicidal ideation and dietary intake measures were identified. Conclusion: Individuals with mood disorders may be susceptible to neuropsychiatric effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs, which warrants further research.

The study was aimed to assess the breastfeeding practices among mothers of infants in Peringara Gramapanchayat in Kerala. Study was a community based cross-sectional study among mothers of infants in Peringara gramapanchayat using a pretested questionnaire. 142 breastfeeding mothers of infants in Peringara gramapanchayat were studied and mothers who were not present at home during the study were excluded from the study. Study period consisted of 18 days between December 2015 and January 2016. Study variables includes type of delivery, initiation of breastfeeding, breastfeeding practices and role of ASHAs in promoting good breastfeeding practices. Statistical analysis was done using Pearson’s Chi-square test and T test. The study found that exclusive breastfeeding has been done by 68.3% of mothers. There is no practice of giving pre-lacteal feed, 95.8% of mothers have given colostrum to the new born. Statistically significant association was found between the type of delivery and time of initiation of breastfeeding (p less than 0.05). Time of initiation of breastfeeding was prolonged in case of Caesarean section. 49.3% of mothers have breastfed the baby within one hour. 55.6% of mothers were informed about importance of breastfeeding by ASHAs and only 20.4% of mothers were informed about period of exclusive breastfeeding and period of complimentary feeding by ASHAs.

The transformation that COVID-19 has brought upon the world is unparalleled. The impact on mental health is equally unprecedented and yet unexplored in depth. An online-based survey was administered to 413 community-based adults during COVID-19 confinement to explore psychological impact and identify high risk profiles. Young females concerned about the future, expressing high COVID-related distress, already following psychological therapy and suffering from pre-existing chronic conditions, were those at highest risk of psychological impact due to the COVID-19 situation. Findings could be employed to design tailored psychological interventions in the early stages of the outbreak to avoid the onset/exacerbation of psychopathology.

Abstract Background The general medicine in-training examination (GM-ITE) is designed to objectively evaluate the postgraduate clinical competencies (PGY) 1 and 2 residents in Japan. Although the total GM-ITE scores tended to be lower in PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents in university hospitals than those in community-based hospitals, the most divergent areas of essential clinical competencies have not yet been revealed. Methods We conducted a nationwide, multicenter, cross-sectional study in Japan, using the GM-ITE to compare university and community-based hospitals in the four areas of basic clinical knowledge“. Specifically, “medical interview and professionalism,” “symptomatology and clinical reasoning,” “physical examination and clinical procedures,” and “disease knowledge” were assessed. Results We found no significant difference in “medical interview and professionalism” scores between the community-based and university hospital residents. However, significant differences were found in the remaining three areas. A 1.28-point difference (95% confidence interval: 0.96–1.59) in “physical examination and clinical procedures” in PGY-1 residents was found; this area alone accounts for approximately half of the difference in total score. Conclusions The standardization of junior residency programs and the general clinical education programs in Japan should be promoted and will improve the overall training that our residents receive. This is especially needed in categories where university hospitals have low scores, such as “physical examination and clinical procedures.”
