Objective: In the study, it was aimed to determine the risk and level of knowledge of individuals who applied to the clinic for dental treatment. Methods: The research consisted of 713 adult individuals who went to the dental clinic for dental treatment between 01 March and 31 August 2020, who were willing to participate in the study and who met the inclusion criteria. The questionnaires developed by the researchers were used to determine the risks of developing infective endocarditis, and the knowledge levels of Oral and Dental Health and Infective Endocarditis in individuals who attended dental treatment. Descriptive statistical analyzes were made. Results: In the study, the rate of agreeing that "oral and dental health problems are as important as other health problems" (p = 0.005) and that "infective endocarditis disease is an infection of the heart and its valves" (p = 0.009) was found to be significantly higher in females than males. It was determined that the majority of the individuals (38.7%) were indecisive about the idea that “antibiotics should be used before dental treatment”. When the infective endocarditis risk factors were evaluated in the study, it was found that 8.1% had piersing in their body, 28.3% had problems such as gingivitis, bleeding and swelling. Conclusion: The most important issue in preventing the development of infective endocarditis is to increase the awareness of individuals. The society should be made aware of the risk factors that may cause infective endocarditis and their knowledge level should be increased.

Stress and burnout continue to impact the thoughts, behaviors, and careers of healthcare professionals. Solutions will require a multidimensional approach that focuses on both individual and organizational efforts geared to build resilience and help providers better adjust to the pressures of medical practice. Individual efforts can only go so far. Since most of the issues are system related, solutions will require an empathetic pro-active approach form the affiliated organizations in which staff practice to provide effective resources and support to help them succeed.

Background: Covid-19 is a rapidly evolving pandemic, affecting both developed and developing countries. Maternity services in low resource countries are adapting to provide antenatal and postnatal care midst a rapidly shifting health system environment due to the pandemic. Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the effect of COVID-19 on maternity services in selected levels III and IV public health facilities within five MNCH priority counties in Kenya. Method: A two-stage sampling approach was used to select health facilities. The study employed cross-sectional and observational retrospective approaches. Data was collected from Maternity facilities managers and registers in a total of 28 levels III and IV facilities. Open Data Kit (ODK) formatted tools were used to collect data. Data was analysed using STATA Version 15. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square and fishers exact tests were used to analyse data. For all tests, a p-value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: A total of 31 midwifery managers were interviewed and a total of 801 maternity records (400 before COVID and 401 during COVID-19 pandemic) were reviewed from levels III (66%) and IV (34%) facilities. The managers indicated that Antenatal Care (ANC) visits had reduced (67.9%), referrals of mothers with complications got delayed (29%), mothers feared delivering in hospitals (64.5%). The managers reported that New-born care services were most affected by the pandemic (54.8%) followed by ANC services (45.2%). Facility records revealed a 19% higher ANC attendance before COVID than during the pandemic. Neonatal deaths increased significantly during Covid-19 period ((P=0.010) by 38%. Live births significantly increased during the pandemic (p <0.0001). Significant increases also observed in mothers who developed labour complications (p=0.0003) and number of mothers that underwent caesarean sections (p <0.001) during the pandemic period. Conclusion: The fear of the Covid-19 pandemic had a cross-cutting effect on utilisation of maternity services.
背景:2019冠状病毒病是一场迅速演变的大流行，影响发达国家和发展中国家。低资源国家的孕产妇服务正在适应因大流行而迅速变化的卫生系统环境，以提供产前和产后护理。目标:本研究的目的是确定2019冠状病毒病对肯尼亚五个妇幼保健优先县内选定的三级和四级公共卫生设施的产妇服务的影响。方法:采用两阶段抽样方法选择卫生设施。本研究采用横断面和回顾性观察方法。数据是从28个三级和四级设施的产科设施管理人员和登记册中收集的。使用开放数据工具包(ODK)格式工具收集数据。使用STATA Version 15分析数据。采用描述性统计、卡方检验和fisher精确检验对数据进行分析。所有检验均以p值<0.05为有统计学意义。结果:共采访了31名助产管理人员，审查了来自三级(66%)和四级(34%)设施的801份分娩记录(COVID-19前400份，COVID-19大流行期间401份)。管理人员指出，产前保健(ANC)就诊减少(67.9%)，有并发症的母亲的转诊被推迟(29%)，母亲害怕在医院分娩(64.5%)。管理人员报告说，新生儿护理服务受大流行影响最大(54.8%)，其次是ANC服务(45.2%)。设施记录显示，在COVID之前，ANC的出勤率比大流行期间高出19%。新生儿死亡在新冠肺炎期间显著增加(P=0.010) 38%。大流行期间，活产显著增加(p <0.0001)。在大流行期间，发生分娩并发症的母亲人数(p=0.0003)和接受剖腹产手术的母亲人数(p <0.001)也显著增加。结论:对Covid-19大流行的恐惧对孕产妇服务的利用产生了交叉影响。
