Development of a World Health Organization Programme for School Mental Health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Background: Schools provide an exceptional opportunity for mental health promotion and intervention. Aims: To describe the development of a World Health Organization (WHO) School Mental Health Program (SMHP) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Methods: Two tenets guided development of the SMHP: (1) it used a multitiered system of support framework including 3 tiers of interventions (universal, early and targeted); and (2) interventions must be feasible for implementation by non-mental health professionals. Results: The WHO SMHP is organized into a background section, followed by 3 modules: Social–Emotional Childhood Development; Mental Health Promoting Schools (Promotion and Prevention); and Addressing Student Mental Health Problems in Your Classroom, including specific classroom strategies and case examples. Conclusion: Developing an appropriate curriculum sensitive to the needs of individual countries requires involvement of those familiar with schooling in those countries, with mental health priorities and practices that promote mental health, and to coalesce school staff, parents and community members in the service of their children.

Edukasi dalam Upaya Meningkatkan Pengetahuan tentang Kesehatan Kulit di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 melalui Instagram Live

WHO (World Health Organization) telah menetapkan wabah COVID-19 sebagai pandemi tingkat global karena tingkat penyebaran COVID-19 yang sangat cepat hampir ke seluruh dunia. Protokol kesehatan seperti menjaga jarak, mencuci tangan, dan rutin menggunakan masker menjadi langkah untuk meminimalkan penyebaran virus COVID-19. Penggunaan masker menjadi kebiasaan baru yang erat dengan keseharian setiap orang saat ini. Masker yang dipakai dalam jangka waktu yang lama ternyata dapat menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan pada kulit seperti jerawat, dermatitis, kemerahan dan pigmentasi pada wajah. Keluhan kulit yang paling banyak terjadi pada tenaga kesehatan yang menggunakan masker adalah akne. Oleh sebab itu, kami memilih topik tersebut dengan tujuan untuk mengedukasi masyarakat mengenai cara menjaga kesehatan kulit di masa pandemi dan bagaimana pencegahan serta penatalaksanaan mask-acne. Dalam masa pandemi, upaya untuk melakukan edukasi kepada masyarakat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan fitur Instagram Live yang dapat mempermudah masyarakat untuk menjangkau informasi dan menjadi media platform yang banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat. Metode edukasi ini dilakukan secara daring dengan menggunakan platform sosial media Instagram yang dilakukan sebanyak 3 (tiga) kali intervensi. Intervensi pertama kami melakukan kuis fakta dan mitos seputar kesehatan kulit dan mask-acne dengan total 868 responden, serta melakukan pre-test yang diisi oleh 50 responden. Intervensi kedua adalah melakukan Instagram Live berupa talkshow atau QnA bersama dermatovenereologist FK UNAIR/RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, dengan penonton sejumlah 267 pengguna dan telah ditonton ulang sebanyak 263 pengguna. Pada intervensi akhir, terdapat sesi post-test yang diisi oleh 50 responden yang didapatkan peningkatan hasil nilai terhadap pemahaman topik. Evaluasi kegiatan ini didapatkan dari kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada para peserta dan menunjukkan mayoritas responden memberikan umpan balik yang sangat baik terhadap materi yang dibawakan (58-68%), kesesuaian materi terhadap kondisi pandemi (60-70%), serta kebermanfaatan acara (68-74%).

Magnitude of infertility and associated factors among women attending selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

Introduction The World Health Organization estimated that approximately 48 million couples and 186 million people are infertile worldwide. Although the problem of infertility is increasing worldwide, as well as in Ethiopia, there are limited studies done. Therefore, this study aims to determine the magnitude of infertility and the major risk factors in three governmental hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was used to conduct the study. The participants were selected by using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected through an interview using a structured questionnaire. The data were entered into Epi Data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Logistic regression was used to identify the predictor variables. Statistical significance was considered at a P < 0.05 with an adjusted odds ratio calculated at 95% CI. Result The overall prevalence of infertility was 27.6% (95%CI = 23.2, 32.0). Of these, 14.4% had primary infertility, and 13.2% had secondary infertility. Those whose duration of marriage was less than 60 months [AOR = 3.85; 95%CI 1.39, 10.64], had a history of fallopian tube obstructions [AOR = 8.27; 95%CI 2.36, 28.91], had irregular frequency of coitus [AOR = 37.4; 95%CI 11.29, 124.114], had more than one sex partner [AOR = 3.51; 95%CI 1.64, 7.54], had an abortion greater than 3 times [AOR = 6.89; 95%CI 1.28, 37.09], and had partners who currently consumed alcohol [AOR = 1.31; 95%CI 1.11, 1.86] were more likely to be infertile than their counterparts. Conclusion According to the results of this study, the prevalence of infertility was high compared to the global estimate of the World Health Organization. The government, health care providers, and researchers should emphasize developing appropriate strategies, research, education, and awareness creation of infertility and its potential causes.
