Garlic is one of the most popular natural home remedies for a variety of illnesses. Many different cultures have recognised its beneficial properties as a herbal remedy since ancient times. Nevertheless, inappropriate usage of garlic can cause unwanted side effects despite its numerous positive qualities. Although they may appear to be the least dangerous, natural remedies like garlic can also cause burn themselves. Garlic typically resulted in second-degree burns, but in some cases, necrotic tissue could also develop. This case report described burn injuries caused by the application of raw garlic. We aimed to demonstrate the possible adverse effects of using garlic as a natural home remedy as well as to educate the public and healthcare providers about inappropriate usage of natural home remedy for self-treatment.

大蒜是治疗多种疾病的最受欢迎的天然家庭疗法之一。自古以来,许多不同的文化都认为它是一种有益的草药。然而,尽管大蒜有许多积极的品质,但不当的使用会导致不必要的副作用。虽然它们看起来是最不危险的,但像大蒜这样的自然疗法也会引起烧伤。大蒜通常会导致二度烧伤,但在某些情况下,也会产生坏死组织。本病例报告描述了应用生大蒜引起的烧伤。我们的目的是证明使用大蒜作为自然家庭疗法可能产生的不良影响,并教育公众和医疗保健提供者关于不适当使用自然家庭疗法进行自我治疗。

Introduction: Chronic illnesses have added to the demand in informal caregiving. Culturally, family members are expected to provide physical care and psychosocial support to their sick members, but the challenges they face have adversely impacted their employment, financial, physical and emotional wellbeing. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of family caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses.

Methods: This qualitative research was based on the interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit five family caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured individual interviews and document analysis and later analysed systematically according to the six-step IPA process.

Results: The data revealed the informants' meaning of experience in four themes: 1) adversities, 2) adjustment challenges, 3) adaptation and acceptance and 4) identity.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that constructive lived experiences may be cultivated by increasing knowledge in caregiving, receiving greater appreciation and support from family members and learning to embrace the new identity. Caregiver support programmes or workshops focusing on emotional resilience or communication strategies can help to boost the positive life experiences of caregivers. The findings can be useful for healthcare professionals in understanding and addressing the needs of caregivers and improving the support and services provided to them.

慢性疾病增加了对非正式护理的需求。从文化上讲,家庭成员应该为生病的成员提供身体护理和心理社会支持,但他们面临的挑战对他们的就业、财务、身体和情感健康产生了不利影响。本研究旨在探讨慢性疾病病患家庭照护者的生活经验。方法:采用解释现象学分析(IPA)方法进行定性研究。采用目的抽样方法,招募5名慢性病患者的家庭照顾者。通过深入的半结构化个人访谈和文献分析收集数据,然后根据六步IPA流程进行系统分析。结果:数据揭示了被调查者在逆境、调整挑战、适应与接受、认同四个主题中的体验意义。结论:建设性的生活经验可以通过增加护理知识、获得家庭成员更多的欣赏和支持以及学习接受新的身份来培养。照顾者支持计划或研讨会侧重于情绪弹性或沟通策略可以帮助提高照顾者的积极生活经验。研究结果可以帮助医疗保健专业人员了解和解决护理人员的需求,并改善向他们提供的支持和服务。

Family medicine is a medical discipline that has been recognised globally for nearly six decades. Postgraduate family medicine training was introduced more recently in Southeast Asia. This article presents the characteristics of postgraduate family medicine training in eight Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The duration of training varies across countries and programmes within each country, ranging from 1 to 5 years. Completion of training leads to qualifications such as master's degree, diploma or certificate. Some countries also offer further training following postgraduate family medicine training, classified into two types: capacity-based training (e.g. family medicine fellowship) and discipline-based training (e.g. palliative care fellowship). The increasing burden of non-communicable diseases and the ageing population as well as the shortage of family physicians are significant concerns and challenges that influence postgraduate family medicine training in Southeast Asia.

家庭医学是一门医学学科,近六十年来一直在全球范围内得到认可。最近在东南亚引入了研究生家庭医学培训。本文介绍了印度尼西亚、老挝、马来西亚、缅甸、菲律宾、新加坡、泰国和越南八个东南亚国家家庭医学研究生培养的特点。培训期限因国家和每个国家的方案而异,从1年到5年不等。完成培训可获得硕士学位、文凭或证书等资格证书。一些国家还在研究生家庭医学培训之后提供进一步培训,分为两类:基于能力的培训(如家庭医学奖学金)和基于学科的培训(如姑息治疗奖学金)。非传染性疾病负担日益加重、人口老龄化以及家庭医生短缺是影响东南亚家庭医学研究生培训的重大关切和挑战。

Introduction: Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) insertion is a reversible and effective way to reduce unplanned pregnancy. Doctors play a key role in IUCD usage. This study aimed to assess knowledge, views, practice and self-efficacy regarding copper IUCD usage among public primary care doctors in Sarawak.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in all public primary care clinics in Sarawak. A selfadministered online survey form was distributed to doctors in the eligible clinics.

Results: A total of 312 doctors participated in the survey. Most of them (81.4%) worked in a clinic where IUCDs were available. The median knowledge score among the medical officers was 15 (maximum score: 20). The knowledge score was correlated with the length of primary care experience and was higher among the doctors who had prior IUCD training and ever had inserted IUCDs. The doctors were concerned about the side effects of IUCDs, especially perforation and pelvic inflammatory diseases, and were negatively influenced by the additional counselling time required when recommending IUCDs. They recognised IUCD usage as a long-term and reversible contraception method. Most (69.2%) doctors had inserted IUCDs before, but only 45.9% had inserted five or more IUCDs. The self-efficacy of the doctors regarding IUCD insertion was moderate (63% of the total score).

Conclusion: The knowledge and self-efficacy of the public primary care doctors in Sarawak were moderate. Although IUCDs were widely available, the number of IUCD insertions was relatively small. Further research is warranted to quantify IUCD usage and identify its barriers among nurses and patients.

导读:宫内节育器植入术是减少意外妊娠的一种可逆、有效的方法。医生在宫内节育器的使用中起着关键作用。本研究旨在评估砂拉越公立初级保健医生对铜宫内节育器使用的知识、观点、实践和自我效能感。方法:在沙捞越所有公立初级保健诊所进行横断面研究。向符合条件的诊所的医生分发了一份自行填写的在线调查表格。结果:共有312名医生参与调查。其中大多数(81.4%)在提供宫内节育器的诊所工作。医务人员知识得分中位数为15分,满分为20分。知识得分与初级保健经验的长度相关,并且在接受过IUCD培训和曾经植入过IUCD的医生中得分更高。医生担心宫内节育器的副作用,特别是穿孔和盆腔炎,并且在推荐宫内节育器时需要额外的咨询时间,这对医生产生了负面影响。他们认为宫内节育器的使用是一种长期可逆的避孕方法。大多数(69.2%)医生以前植入过宫内节育器,但只有45.9%的医生植入过5个或更多宫内节育器。医生对宫内节育器置入的自我效能感为中等(占总分的63%)。结论:沙捞越州公立初级保健医生的知识水平和自我效能感处于中等水平。虽然宫内节育器广泛使用,但植入宫内节育器的数量相对较少。进一步的研究需要量化宫内节育器的使用,并确定护士和患者之间的障碍。

Introduction: Sarcopenia has many risk factors and an increased likelihood of adverse effects. However, the exact mechanism of how these risk factors cause sarcopenia remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the association between physical components, olfactory function impairment and sarcopenia in urban communities.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 334 participants aged 60 years and above residing in urban villages in West Jakarta. The medical history, physical ability, cognitive function and olfactory function of participants were examined. Physical ability was assessed based on activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Regarding olfactory function, six scratch test-type odours common in Indonesia were used. Sarcopenia was measured based on muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance. Binary logistic analysis and backward logistic regression analysis were utilised to explore the association of sarcopenia with the other variables.

Results: Sarcopenia was significantly associated with older age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.613, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.471-4.640), obesity (AOR=0.190 (0.110-0.329), impaired olfactory function (AOR=1.822, 95% CI=1.086-3.056) and frailty (AOR=3.117, 95% CI=1.375-7.064).

Conclusion: The associated factors of sarcopenia include olfactory function, older age, unemployment, impaired IADLs, obesity and frailty.

骨骼肌减少症有许多危险因素,而且不良反应的可能性增加。然而,这些危险因素如何导致肌肉减少症的确切机制仍有待阐明。本研究旨在评估城市社区身体成分、嗅觉功能障碍和肌肉减少症之间的关系。方法:本横断面研究涉及334名60岁及以上居住在西雅加达城中村的参与者。研究对象的病史、体能、认知功能和嗅觉功能。根据日常生活活动和日常生活工具活动(IADLs)评估身体能力。在嗅觉功能方面,使用了印度尼西亚常见的六种划痕测试型气味。肌肉减少症是根据肌肉质量、肌肉力量和身体表现来测量的。采用二元logistic分析和反向logistic回归分析探讨肌肉减少症与其他变量的关系。结果:骨骼肌减少症与年龄(校正优势比[AOR]=2.613, 95%可信区间[CI] = 1.471 ~ 4.640)、肥胖(AOR=0.190(0.110 ~ 0.329))、嗅觉功能受损(AOR=1.822, 95% CI=1.086 ~ 3.056)、体弱(AOR=3.117, 95% CI=1.375 ~ 7.064)显著相关。结论:肌少症的相关因素包括嗅觉功能、年龄、失业、IADLs受损、肥胖和虚弱。

Introduction: Burnout is a significant issue among healthcare professionals, primarily including doctors, nurses and pharmacists. This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to burnout and the coping mechanisms employed by healthcare professionals working in a public hospital in Malaysia.

Methods: This study used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design, collecting data via online and printed questionnaires. Healthcare professionals from Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun were recruited through non-probability convenience and snowball sampling. Descriptive statistics were utilised to analyse the prevalence of and coping mechanisms against mental and psychological burnout, while Pearson's chi-square and inferential statistics were used to identify the association between burnout and socio-demographic factors such as age, sex and educational level, with P-values of <0.05 indicating statistical significance.

Results: Approximately 54.7% of the participants had moderate burnout. The majority experienced personal and work-related burnout (81.9%) and patient-related burnout (85.5%). Significant associations were found between burnout and age (P<0.001). Religion was the most commonly utilised coping mechanism by the participants.

Introduction: Sleep quality refers to the subjective experience of sleep, encompassing aspects such as duration, depth and continuity. In contrast, sleep hygiene practices involve behaviours and habits conducive to healthy sleep patterns. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of good sleep quality and hygiene and the factors that affect good sleep hygiene and quality.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 384 Malaysian university students sampled from October to December 2023 using a validated self-administered questionnaire that included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI). The PSQI and SHI were used to measure sleep quality and hygiene, respectively. Data was analysed using SPSS v26.

Results: Approximately 94.0% (95% Confidence Interval (CI)=91.0-96.1) of the participants had good/normal sleep hygiene, while 60.2% (95% CI=55.1-65.1) had poor sleep quality. The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the participants who had good sleep hygiene had a 4.36-fold (95% CI=1.26-15.17, P=0.02) higher odds of having good sleep quality. Conversely, ethnicity (high odds ratio, P<0.001) and sleep hygiene were associated with a 4.22-fold (95% CI=1.19-14.95, P=0.03) higher odds of good sleep quality.

Conclusion: Malaysian university students have a high prevalence of good sleep hygiene, but many have poor sleep quality. Although sleep hygiene may be directly affected by sleep quality, sleep quality can be affected by sleep hygiene and ethnicity.

睡眠质量是指对睡眠的主观体验,包括持续时间、深度和连续性等方面。相反,睡眠卫生实践涉及有助于健康睡眠模式的行为和习惯。本研究旨在探讨良好睡眠质量和卫生的普遍程度以及影响良好睡眠卫生和卫生的因素。方法:从2023年10月至12月,对384名马来西亚大学生进行了横断面研究,使用了一份经过验证的自我管理问卷,包括匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)和睡眠卫生指数(SHI)。PSQI和SHI分别用于测量睡眠质量和卫生状况。数据采用SPSS v26进行分析。结果:大约94.0%(95%置信区间(CI)=91.0-96.1)的参与者睡眠卫生良好/正常,而60.2% (95% CI=55.1-65.1)的参与者睡眠质量较差。多变量二元logistic回归分析显示,睡眠卫生良好的参与者拥有良好睡眠质量的几率高出4.36倍(95% CI=1.26-15.17, P=0.02)。相反,种族(高优势比,p)结论:马来西亚大学生普遍拥有良好的睡眠卫生,但许多人睡眠质量较差。虽然睡眠卫生可能直接受到睡眠质量的影响,但睡眠质量可能受到睡眠卫生和种族的影响。
