Fikri","doi":"10.32827/ijphcs.6.1.131","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32827/ijphcs.6.1.131","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Surgical smoke is recognized as occupational hazard which may lead to acute and chronic health effects to those who work in operation theatre. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of health effects from surgical smoke exposure and its associated factors among perioperative healthcare workers in Hospital Serdang. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 137 perioperative healthcare workers from 3 departments in Hospital Serdang who were selected using a stratified proportionate random sampling. Respondents who work in the operation theatre for more than four weeks of employment were included in the study. Data was collected using validated, pre-tested, and self-administered by using both online web-based and hardcopy questionnaires. It consists of 5 sections; sociodemographic data, employment characteristics, roles in surgery, control measure factors and health effects. Data was statistically analysed to determine the prevalence of health effects, associated factors and predictors of health effects using SPSS version 25 with a significant level set at p <0.05. Result: The prevalence of acute health effects of surgical smoke among respondents was 58.4%. The most common symptoms reported were upper airway irritation (40.0%), headache (27.4%), eye irritation (20.6%) and asthma like symptoms (12.0%). Four significant factors were associated (p < 0.05) with at least one acute health effects, namely employment factors (department, role in surgery, period of working in hospital) and surgical factors (number of surgeries conducted or assisted per week). Assisting role in surgery was a significant predictor of having at least one acute health effects of surgical smoke (AOR=2.7, 95%, CI=1.1, 7.0). Conclusion: Almost 60% of respondents in this study experienced acute health effects due to exposure to surgical smoke. The significant predictor of acute health effects of surgical smoke is assisting role in surgery. This finding can be used in designing prevention and controls program to reduce the health effects of surgical smoke.","PeriodicalId":14315,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health and Clinical Sciences","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85676463","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}

Nonspecialistic references are still occurring and result inefficienty of health care. BPJS Kesehatan stated that there were 2.236.379 visits in the primary health care facilities referred in 2015, 214.706 visits of which were non nonspecificistic referrals. In 2016 there was an increase of 4.9 million cases of re-control compared to 2015 in secondary and tertiary outpatient, resulting in an increase in cost of 789 billion compared to 2015. This is because the referral system policy hasn’t been implement correctly. This policy brief aims to evaluate the implementation of referral system policies that exist in Indonesia. Materials and Methods: This is a policy brief with literature review approach. This policy brief was prepared by conducting literature studies on the implementation of referral systems and several health policies on referrals Result: Referral system has not been implemented properly in accordance with existing policies in Indonesia. This causes wastage costs in the implementation of universal health coverage. Implementation constraints on referral policies stem from the low knowledge of health personnel and the capacity of health care providers. Conclusion: It is appropriate to evaluate all of personel who play a role in the implementation of referral policy. Evaluation should be done from the community as the recipient of the service, health facilities as the buyer of service, the health office as the responsible implementation of referrals, as well as from the government as policy makers. Thus solutions to problems with this reference system can be applied so that the correct referral system can be realized.","PeriodicalId":14315,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health and Clinical Sciences","volume":"8 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72546178","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}

Data regarding the influence of postpartum sleep, depression and weight retention is limited. This study aims to determine the correlation of pre-pregnancy BMI, sleep and depression with PWR at 6 months after childbirth of childbearing age women from selected health clinics in Negeri Sembilan. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 226 women aged 31 ± 4.6 years old who attended Seremban, Ampangan and Senawang Health Clinics from January to August 2015. Respondents were enrolled in the respective health clinics and the maternal interviews conducted at 6 months after childbirth during a home visit. A set of pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data for socio-demographic, anthropometric data including pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), sleep duration and postpartum depression. Result: The mean PWR was 2.6 ± 5.3 kg with 27.4% retained more than 5kg. The respondents slept on average 6.1 ± 1.4 hours with 31.9% slept less than 5 hours. The postpartum depression score was 4.1 ± 3.5 which generally categorised as no postpartum depression. However, about 8.8% had postpartum depressive symptoms. About 36.3% of the respondents were either overweight or obese before the pregnancy with a mean pre-pregnancy BMI of 23.9 ± 5.2 kg/m 2 . Pre-pregnancy BMI was associated with PWR (r= -0.297, p= 0.001). However, other factors were not associated with PWR. Conclusion: About one-third of the respondents retained excess weight, and a lower prepregnancy BMI was associated with greater weight retention. Appropriate measures that target these groups of women with lower BMI before and throughout pregnancy could alter their weight trajectory, hence reducing the risk of obesity among childbearing age women.","PeriodicalId":14315,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health and Clinical Sciences","volume":"142 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76097084","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}

They face many barriers to have an adequate intake that leads to malnutrition Among Malaysian institutionalized elderly aged 60 years and above, the prevalence of malnutrition was 17.4% and it was associated with eating half of the food served in the institution. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the association between adequacy of nutrition provision and plate wastage with risk of malnutrition among elderly aged ≥ 60 years in Rumah Seri Kenangan, Cheras (RSK) (N=46). The study used Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) to assess malnutrition risk, weighing method for adequacy and plate waste study. Mean of energy and protein (served, consumed and wasted) were compared with the Malaysian Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI). Results: Majority of the subjects were male (65%; n=30) and 35% were females (n=16). Mean age of the subjects was 71.35±7.21 years. Majority of the subjects were classified as well-nourished (50%) and 13% as malnourished. Total energy served in one-lunch time was inadequate (82.67±12.93% of RNI) but total protein served was adequate (108.59±19.63 % of RNI). Total energy and protein consumption were inadequate with the mean percentage of RNI for energy and protein was 47.09±26.39% and 73.50±32.07% respectively. Surprisingly, energy and protein served, consumed and wasted were not associated with risk of malnutrition.
