{"title":"Determination of Infective Endocarditis Development Risks and Knowledge Levels of Individuals Applying for Dental Treatment","authors":"Uysal Hilal, Emir Iremnur","doi":"10.33805/2573.3877.156","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33805/2573.3877.156","url":null,"abstract":"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.","PeriodicalId":79520,"journal":{"name":"Nursing and health care perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85886382","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":79520,"journal":{"name":"Nursing and health care perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85449128","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}
