Abstract

Disasters cause material losses, morbidity, and deaths. Support for the role of hospitals and health workers, especially nurses, is needed to reduce the number of victims in each disaster. Using a cross-sectional survey design, this study aims to analyze the relationship between nurse’s perceptions of hospital facility support and disaster preparedness. One hundred sixty seven respondents were selected using proportional random sampling. Disaster preparedness evaluation tool (DPET) was used to assess the participants’ readiness, and the Health Sector Self-Assessment Tool for Disaster Risk Reduction was used to assess nurse’s perceptions of hospital facility support. The final results of the analysis using the Spearman Rank test showed a significant correlation between hospital infrastructure support and emergency nurse’s preparedness in disaster preparedness with a p-value (0.00). The higher the nurse’s perceptions of hospital facility support, the higher their preparedness in disaster management is. Strengthening guidelines of disaster planning in hospitals, especially regarding the ability of hospitals to overcome the impacts of disasters, will provide optimal support for emergency nurses during a disaster crisis.

Abstract

Background: Gradually, fungal infections are growing and have become a medical concern. Candida species are one of the most common pathogens in immunocompromised patients, such as those with lung cancer causing invasive fungal disease. Early diagnosis of candidiasis is critical for patient care in lung cancer patients. Anti-mannan IgM and IgG biomarkers are used to diagnose candidiasis. This study aims to determine the relationship between chemotherapy status, absolute lymphocyte count, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio to antimannan IgM and IgG.Methods: A correlative analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on 37 lung cancer patients with positive candida sputum cultures in Dr. Saiful Anwar Malang Hospital. The 37 patients were examined for total lymphocyte level, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, anti-mannan IgM, and IgG. Data analysis used a contingency coefficient to determine the relationship between chemotherapy status, absolute lymphocyte count, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio to anti-mannan IgM and IgG.Results: This study showed a positive correlation between chemotherapy status with anti-mannan IgM and IgG, although insignificant (p>0.05). However, there was a significant correlation between total lymphocytes and anti-mannan IgG (p=0.000;α=0.05) and between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and antimannan IgM (p=0.004; α=0.05).Conclusion: The study revealed that chemotherapy status, absolute lymphocyte count, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio could be a biomarker of candidiasis, so lung cancer patients with a history of chemotherapy, lymphopenia, and increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio should consider receiving antifungals earlier.
