This study identifies the prevalence of binge drinking behaviour and the statistical relationship between local patterns and binge drinking behaviour among the working-age population in Thailand. This study was conducted using The Smoking and Drinking Behaviour Survey 2017 data set from the National Statistical Office of Thailand. Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) were used to identify the spatial autocorrelation between surrounding areas, with binge drinking behaviour among the working-age population in Thailand. Findings showed that among the 61,708 participants, 11.47% engaged in binge drinking behaviour. There was aspatial global autocorrelation between the surrounding areas and binge drinking behaviour among the working-age population, with a Moran’s I value of 0.579. The LISA analysis indicated nine hotspots or high–high clusters. In Thailand, there is a cultural context that encourages risky behaviour such as drinking alcohol beyond the standards set by law. Therefore, to manage this problem efficiently and effectively, the public and private sectors and related agencies should raise awareness about the health effects of binge drinking and promote health literacy to local residents while engaging all sectors in managing alcohol behaviour in all areas. This type of approach is sustainable and can have long-term effects on society.

Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is the world's most serious problem and one of the leading causes of death. Because of its difficult diagnosis, high rates of treatment failure, and death, MDR-TB is a new challenge in TB control programs. The study aims to identify and analyze the risk factors of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The study used a case control study design and was conducted at the Labuang Baji Hospital in Makassar City, Indonesia. The sample was 140 people consisting of 70 in the case group and 70 in the control group. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using STATA program with Multiple Logistic Regression. Significant risk factors of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) were duration of treatment (OR= 5.655 [Cl 95%: 2.507-12.999]; p<0.001), previous treatment history (OR= 4.833 [Cl 95%: 2.092-11.525]; p<0.001), PMO factor (OR= 3.106 [Cl 95%: 1.227-8.338]; p=0.008), compliance with drugs (OR= 10.961 [Cl 95%: 4.640-26.40]; p<0.001), drug side effects (OR=2.521 [Cl 95%: 1.070-6.126]; p=0.020) and protective factor is the complexity of drug regimen (OR= 0.329 [Cl 95%: 0.136-0.768]; p=0.005). It can be concluded that compliance with drugs is a dominant risk factor for MDR-TB. Improved TB control programs by monitoring the treatment of patients who experienced treatment failure (dropout) probably will increase treatment adherence and cut off MDR-TB transmission.

This study was designed to determine the epidemiological and clinical attributes of COVID-19 patients in the least developed province of Balochistan, Pakistan. The information was obtained from the daily situation report by the Health Department, Government of Balochistan, Pakistan. We investigated the reports of 4177 patients confirmed by RT-PCR tests. Demographic, epidemiological and risk factors data along with comorbidities and clinical signs were recorded. Out of 4500 suspected cases, 4177 cases were directed for the confirmation of COVID-19. A sum of 2177 patients was confirmed to have COVID-19 and 2000 individuals tested negative for the illness. Out of 4177 patients, 2000 patients recovered but 177 patients died because of COVID-19. In current statistics, most males were affected by COVID-19 as 3243 (77.69%) were males and 934 (22.36%) were females. A total of 90.81% of individuals had fever, 88.97% had a cough, 81% had body throbs, and 89.66% had a sore throat. Shortness of breath was observed in 97.06% and 44.09 % had comorbidity. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the outcome of patients was associated with gender and symptoms. The district Quetta had the maximum number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. COVID-19 cases and case casualty proportion are low in Balochistan. Whether this is because of failure to do more tests is still to be discovered. Males and individuals of older age are more impacted, and fatalities were higher in cases with co-morbid conditions. Balochistan has a feeble medical care framework and many asymptomatic cases, and needs more rigid screening activities.

Development of a capacity-building program for older adults in health management and promotion is necessary for readiness for the complete-aged society in Thailand. Little is known about programs that reinforce older adults' capacities in health management and promotion in urban communities. This research and development design aimed to develop and determine the effects of a capacity-building program on health management and promotion for older adults in urban communities. A program was held in two sections totaling 90 hours, including coursework and practical sections. This program covered health education, chronic condition management, and health promotion for older adults. The program was evaluated for appropriateness and feasibility by five experts. Forty-four older adults met the criteria and were selected by simple random sampling from nine communities. Data were collected using questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and a 1-month follow-up after the end of the intervention. The instruments used for data collection included a demographic questionnaire, a self-assessment on the capacity of older adults, and a self-assessment competency questionnaire on health management and promotion. Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test were used for the data analysis. After the intervention, the findings showed that the mean score of the capacity of older adults was significantly higher than before receiving the intervention (38.61 ± 4.03, p <.001). When comparing each dimension, the results found the mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and capacity for health management and promotion of older adults to be 11.77 ± 1.79, p <.001, 4.09 ± .39, p <.001, 3.72 ± .057, p <.001, respectively. The one-month follow-up revealed that most older adults had a moderate (53.3%) and high (46.5%) level of health management and promotion competency. This study indicates that the capacity-building program for older adults is effective and needs to be implemented in urban communities.

The covid-19 pandemic affects human life quality. The consultations between patients and health workers are carried out online using telemedicine to stop transmission. This research aimed to assign the effect of the Telemedicine Plus application on the Covid-19 patients’ quality of life. The study method was quasi-experimental with the pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The participants were 60 patients who were confirmed positive for Covid-19 in the Ngoresan Region, Surakarta City. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. There were two types of subject criteria: the intervention group, given the Telemedicine Plus application and the control group, given standard therapy. The life quality of the Covid-19 patients was rated using the Short-Form 36 (SF 36) questionnaire. Participants who applied the Telemedicine Plus application experienced an increase in average life quality scores from 39.70 to 50.93, while respondents who received a standard therapy also experienced an increase from 39.93 to 41.67. The independent t-test indicated <0.001 (<0.05) for a p-value. It points out that there is a difference in life quality between the intervention group and the control group significantly. The Telemedicine Plus application improves the Covid-19 patients’ life quality more than patients who receive standard therapy.

26.8% and at the age 0f 15-24 years is 30.2%. Government initiatives to prevent anemia by dispensing iron supplements without teaching have left adolescent girls with little knowledge of anemia, necessitating substantial informative efforts through social media. Instagram is less popular than Whatsapp as a tool for educating adolescent girls about anemia. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of WhatsApp and Instagram as instructional media on knowledge, attitudes, and eating patterns among adolescent girls in order to prevent anemia. This study employed a control group and a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design. In this study, participants (n = 60) were split into two groups: the intervention group (n = 30) used Instagram at Junior High School 30 Makassar, while the control group (n = 30) used WhatsApp at Junor High School 14 Makassar. A general questionnaire and a food frequency questionnaire were used to collect the data, which was then analyzed using the repeated ANOVA test to compare each group's results before and after the intervention and the unpaired t-test to compare the Instagram group to the WhatsApp group. The findings indicated that the Instagram group's knowledge (61.50+82.67 vs 82.67+11.651), attitude (81.93+8.682 vs 89.23+6.683), and eating behaviors (467.10+197.269 vs 486.45+212.911) had different values before and after the intervention. In the WhatsApp group, these differences were 54.17+10.093 vs. 60.83+13.714 for knowledge, 73.20+10.179 vs. 83.40+13.255 for attitude, and 553.10+204.985 vs. 518.28+161.929 for eating habits. With a p-value of 0.05, there were differences between the WhatsApp and Instagram groups in terms of knowledge (0.000), attitude (0.000), and eating habits (0.002). Therefore, this study's conclusion is that educating adolescents using Instagram as a medium is more effective in improving their knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits.
26.8%， 15-24岁为30.2%。政府在没有教学的情况下通过发放铁补充剂来预防贫血的举措，使青春期女孩对贫血知之甚少，因此需要通过社交媒体进行大量的宣传工作。作为教育青春期女孩关于贫血的工具，Instagram不如Whatsapp受欢迎。本研究的目的是比较WhatsApp和Instagram作为教学媒体对青春期女孩预防贫血的知识、态度和饮食模式的影响。本研究采用对照组和前测后测准实验设计。在本研究中，参与者(n = 60)被分为两组:干预组(n = 30)在望加锡第30初中使用Instagram，对照组(n = 30)在望加锡第14初中使用WhatsApp。使用一般问卷和食物频率问卷收集数据，然后使用重复方差分析检验比较各组干预前后的结果，并使用非配对t检验比较Instagram组和WhatsApp组。研究结果显示，Instagram组的知识(61.50+82.67 vs 82.67+11.651)、态度(81.93+8.682 vs 89.23+6.683)、饮食行为(467.10+197.269 vs 486.45+212.911)在干预前后有不同的数值。在WhatsApp群组中，知识差异为54.17+10.093 vs. 60.83+13.714，态度差异为73.20+10.179 vs. 83.40+13.255，饮食习惯差异为553.10+204.985 vs. 518.28+161.929。WhatsApp组和Instagram组在知识(0.000)、态度(0.000)和饮食习惯(0.002)方面存在差异，p值为0.05。因此，本研究的结论是，使用Instagram作为媒介对青少年进行教育，可以更有效地提高他们的知识、态度和饮食习惯。

Burnout syndrome is a very common psychological problem experienced by health workers in hospitals, including doctors, anesthesiologists, and nurse anesthetists. Burnout syndrome has a serious impact on health workers' performance and the quality of services provided to patients. This study aims to determine the factors associated with burnout syndrome among nurse anesthetists in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Indonesia involving 405 respondents selected using cluster sampling. A questionnaire was employed for data collection. Univariate analysis (frequency and proportion) was used to measure burnout, and bivariate analysis (chi-square) and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) were used to determine the factors associated with burnout syndrome. This study found that the majority of respondents had experienced low levels of burnout, particularly burnout for emotional exhaustion (EE) at 76.8% and depersonalization (DP) at 64.2%. However, a high level of personal accomplishment (PA) was reported by only 53.1% of subjects. Furthermore, workload factors (AOR: 3.75) and social support (AOR: 0.52) were significantly associated with EE. The factors of workload (AOR: 2.27), social support (AOR: 0.59) and reward (AOR: 1.66) were significantly related to DP. Social support factors (AOR: 2.84) and interpersonal relationships (AOR: 2.28) were significantly associated with PA. This study concludes that the majority of nurse anesthetists reported burnout. Therefore, workplaces need to perform occupational health surveillance for early detection of burnout and health promotion programs to prevent burnout among nurse anesthetists.

Univariate analysis (frequency and proportion) was used to measure burnout, and bivariate analysis (chi-square) and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) were used to determine the factors associated with burnout syndrome. This study found that the majority of respondents had experienced low levels of burnout, particularly burnout for emotional exhaustion (EE) at 76.8% and depersonalization (DP) at 64.2%. However, a high level of personal accomplishment (PA) was reported by only 53.1% of subjects. Furthermore, workload factors (AOR: 3.75) and social support (AOR: 0.52) were significantly associated with EE. The factors of workload (AOR: 2.27), social support (AOR: 0.59) and reward (AOR: 1.66) were significantly related to DP. Social support factors (AOR: 2.84) and interpersonal relationships (AOR: 2.28) were significantly associated with PA. This study concludes that the majority of nurse anesthetists reported burnout. Therefore, workplaces need to perform occupational health surveillance for early detection of burnout and health promotion programs to prevent burnout among nurse anesthetists.","PeriodicalId":36393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health and Development","volume":"31 12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83797336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COVID-19 has been considered the most important issue in the last two years. Some characteristics and factors can play a pivotal role in the survival time and mortality of COVID-19 patients. The Delta variant was one of the most important variants of COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of COVID-19 survival before and after the spread of the Delta variant. In this historical cohort study, 6,117 hospitalized patients with positive COVID-19 PCR tests between January and September 2021 participated. Some characteristics such as age, sex, death by COVID-19, and presence/absence of some comorbidities were registered for the patients. Log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were done to check the effect of the potential risk factors on the survival of COVID-19 patients by considering the onset of symptoms to death as the time variable. The mean age of patients was 47.29 (SD=18.70). 53% of patients were female, 4.6% were admitted to the ICU, and 3.6% died from COVID-19. Age (HR=9.81, p<.001), cardiovascular disease (HR=2.86, p<.001), chronic kidney disease (HR=6.21, p<.001), diabetes (HR=2.16, p=0.002), hypertension (HR=2.67, p<.001), ICU admission (HR=12.92, p<.001), pO2<93% (HR=6.75, p<.001), and intubation (HR=21.54, P<.001) were risk factors that were influential on the survival of COVD-19 patients before the spread of the Delta variant. Although the effect of some variables changed after the spread of the Delta variant, some of them, like chronic kidney disease and hypertension were no longer significant. Although the effect of some comorbidities was significant only in the crude models, they were not influential in the adjusted model. Conversely, in the presence of other risk factors, especially age, most of the comorbidities were not significant in the adjusted model. Older age, ICU admission, intubation, and pO2<93% are the most important variables which played a pivotal role in the survival of individuals infected by COVID-19.

Contraception information and services are the basis of the health and human rights of everyone. Young girls who become pregnant are at greater risk for problems arising from early child deliveries. Contraception in older women likewise results in increased risk. It was found from the particulars of contraception use that the male partner has a great deal of influence, and that the same is true of the perspectives and experiences of the people surrounding his partner, the expectations of her family and her desire for more children. In Thailand, there are ethnic groups of numerous tribes, among whom are the Karen, who make up the largest of any such group. The Karens have a low rate of contraception use and low incomes with reduced resources. Thus, family planning is an important key in reducing their population growth and the impact on their economy, environment and development. The purpose of this study was to explore the determining influence of contraception among minority women in Thailand in the form of descriptive qualitative research. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. The research showed that the use of contraceptive services by Karen women was restricted by the culture, beliefs and social conditions characteristic of their ethnic origin. The husband and extended family influenced their contraceptive decisions. The prevailing belief was that contraception is the duty of women. Some women used herbs for contraception. They had difficulty communicating when receiving contraceptive services. Karen people have little income; so they cannot afford expenses related to contraceptive services requiring them to pay for travel costs. Furthermore, the road conditions make the trip awfully difficult, and their houses are situated far from the hospitals. In conclusion, determining the influence of birth control among minority women in Thailand must be based on their beliefs, society and ability to access health services.

Mobile phone usage has increased dramatically in recent years. University students, in particular, are among the most prolific smartphone users. This research aimed to determine the association between excessive smartphone use and perceived health consequences of such use among rural university students majoring in various fields. The cross-sectional design was used to conduct the study among first-year undergraduate students recruited using the convenient sampling procedure. The questionnaire consisted of three sections: participants’ demographics, excessive smartphone use, and perceptions of health consequences. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multiple linear regression analysis. A total of 590 responses completed the questionnaire. The results showed that 79.2% of the participants were female and the mean age was 18.8 ± 0.6 years. The original sample comprised students belonging to Humanities and Social Sciences; HSS (59.3%), Science and Technology; ST (25.3%), and Health Sciences; HS (15.4%) fields. The level of excessive smartphone use of these students was moderate (49.3%), high (49.0%), and low (1.7%). Over half of them demonstrated the perceived health consequences at a moderate level (76.1%) and a high level (22.0%); only a minority indicated a low level (1.9%). Linear regression analysis showed that excessive smartphone use was positively and significantly associated with the perceptions of health consequences among rural university students (p-value < 0.001). Other variables such as body mass index, father’s occupation, and fields of study were related to the perceived health consequences among rural university students (p-value < 0.05). According to the outcomes of this research, it is recommended that intervention be made to encourage and support appropriate smartphone usage behaviors.
