Abstract

Studies on different physiological and pathophysiological properties of the dopaminergic system have led to novel evidences and theories that suggest the possible targeting of such system in a variety of pathologies and disorders. Herein, we illustrate the applications and the therapeutic importance that such findings and advances might have. We hope that the content of this work will guide researches devoted to dopaminergic aspects that combine neurosciences with pharmacology.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i2.3070

Abstract

The pattern of autoimmune impairments was studied in patients with chronic viral hepatitis in association with the level of inflammatory cytokines and interferon status. Study was conducted in groups of patients with various levels of the detected autoantibodies to ssDNA. Autoantibodies to ssDNA were found in 37,7% of patients with HCV. In the group of HCV patients with autoimmune disorders, the levels of the cytokines and interferon levels were considerably higher than those in the group of patients without associated autoimmune diseasesDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i2.2438

The aim of this study is to explore the sources of job stress and type of coping among academic staff from two countries; namely Pahang, Malaysia and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study used qualitative design, and phenomenology technique  conducted to analyze the data. Twenty two academic staffs were involved in this study. The result found several interesting findings. Seven stressors categories were found; (1) inadequate role occupancy, (2) increasing work demands, (3) deficient role preparedness, (4) insufficient role support, (5) role ambiguity, (6) role conflict and (7) work-family conflict. There were four responses of stress that was showed by university academic staffs, namely: (1) behavioral responses, (2) emotional responses, (3) cognitive responses, and (4) physiological responses. The reason that lead respondents still continue work as academic staff are (1) being a lecturer was the choice of his/her life, (2) teaching was noble work, (3) could share knowledge with others/students, (4) love the profession as a lecturer, and (5) feel happy to teach and discuss with students. The coping strategy that always used  by academic staffs  to cope with job related stress were five coping strategy patterns, namely: (1) problem focused coping, (2) emotion focused coping, (3) seeking social support, (4) using religious coping, and (5) making meaning.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i2.2427

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies dengue as a diseaseimportant in public health. The epidemiology and ecology of dengueinfections are strongly associated with human habits and activities. Thepresent study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices regardingdengue infections among rural residents in Samar Province, Philippines. Across sectional design was adopted for this investigation A conveniencesamples of six hundred forty six (646) residents who were visiting the ruralhealth units in different municipalities of Samar, Philippines were taken asparticipants in study. More than half of the respondents had good knowledge(61.45%) on causes, signs and symptoms, mode of transmission, andpreventive measures about dengue. More than half of the respondents useddengue preventive measures such as fans (n = 340, 52.63%) , mosquito coil(n = 458, 70.90%), and bed nets (n = 387, 59.91%) to reduce mosquitoeswhile only about one third utilized insecticides sprays (n = 204, 31.58%) andscreen windows (n = 233, 36.07%) and a little portion used professional pestcontrol (n = 146, 22.60%). There was no correlation between knowledgeabout dengue and preventive practices (p=0.75). Television/Radio was citedas the main source of information on dengue infections. Findings suggest thatbetter knowledge does not necessarily lead to better practice of denguemeasures. Educational campaigns should give more emphasis on costeffective ways of reducing mosquito and preventing dengue such asenvironmental measures and control. Furthermore, wide range ofinformation, skills and support must be provided by the government toincrease dengue awareness among residents. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i2.2511

Abstract

The neonatal unit frequently occupied by newborns that are marginally viable or critically unwell and could be considered as terminally ill. It is a busy, highly technical environment with advanced life saving medical equipments, at its disposal. The technology has had a profound effect on neonatal nursing practice. The escalation of technology and medical advances has been followed by an increase in later disabilities. Many devices have altered from being one of the supporting clinical practices to that of being an essential requirement in treatment delivery. Even after the use of all settings.  Some newborns will die in the NICU. The mortality and morbidity rate is still high. This has given rise to many ethical issues including withdrawal of intensive care therapies. The conceptual framework for the study is based on Health Belief Model. Health Beliefs are person’s knowledge, ideas and attitude, about health and illness. In this study various literature was reviewed which includes, the research design selected for the study was Descriptive research design. The dependent variable and independent variable were selected for the research.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i2.2779
