Patterns of and Factors Associated With Mental Health Service Utilization Among School-Going Adolescent Girls in Southwestern Uganda: A Latent Class Analysis

PurposeThe study aimed to improve understanding of patterns of multiple family group intervention engagement and associated factors among adolescent girls in a low-resource country, Uganda. MethodsThe data used in this analysis were part of a larger cluster randomized controlled trial consisting of 1260 adolescent girls across 47 public secondary schools. The sample in the current study consisted of 317 adolescent girls (ages 14–17 at enrollment) recruited from senior one and senior two classes across 12 secondary schools in the southwestern region of Uganda. Participants in this study participated in the multiple family group intervention—a 16-week manualized intervention. Attendance data from 16 sessions were used to identify the heterogeneity of intervention engagement using latent class analysis modeling. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between predisposing, enabling, need factors, and mental health utilization patterns. ResultsOn average, participants attended 10 sessions (standard deviation = 5.90), 34.38% (N = 109) completed all 16 sessions, and 13.56% (N = 43) did not attend any of the sessions. Two attendance groups were identified: low and high attendants using latent class analysis. In addition, two family-level factors, the number of adults and the number of children in the family, were associated with an increase in the utilization of mental health services. DiscussionFindings suggest that enhancing family support systems may be useful in promoting mental health utilization among adolescent girls with the potential to improve self-esteem, reduce feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately achieve better mental health outcomes.

Boil water alerts and their impact on the unexcused absence rate in public schools in Jackson, Mississippi

The water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi, has recently made national and international headlines as a major environmental catastrophe, impacting the public health and wellbeing of residents. Here we focus on Jackson’s most prevalent and vulnerable population, its children, by assessing how boil water alerts (BWAs) disrupt student learning. Using data on BWAs collected from the City of Jackson’s Water/Sewer Business Administration Office between 2015 and 2021, daily school attendance data from Jackson’s Public School District and community-level vulnerabilities from the American Community Survey, we add an important layer to the current conversation by analysing how BWAs disrupt student learning. After adjusting for community-level vulnerabilities, we show that each time a BWA is issued, unexcused absence rates statistically significantly increase by 1–10%. We also show statistically significant decreases in unexcused absences in schools where much of the student body receives free and reduced lunches. In a city that releases hundreds of BWAs each year, our findings highlight the urgency for addressing the root causes of the poor water quality in Jackson.

Pengembangan sistem informasi presensi perangkat desa berbasis website

The development of information technology requires government agencies to participate and adapt. The village government is one of the agencies affected by implementing information technology. Tambang Bunut Village is experiencing problems in managing attendance data which is still manual. Manual attendance causes many data discrepancies, such as falsified data, missing data, and also data that is not recorded. In addition, the manual system causes attendance recap time to take longer and be inefficient. This study uses a prototype development model consisting of needs analysis, system feasibility analysis, and process design. The results of this study are a website-based village apparatus presence information system managed by one administrator. The testing results of system functionality indicate that the presence information system is feasible to use and can be well received by users. Apart from being assessed in terms of efficiency in displaying data and shortening the time for reporting employee attendance, this information system is also able to reduce village budget spending in presence system operations.

The development of employee attendance application based on mobile using spiral method

The Pangulu Nagori Amborokan Panei Raya Office is one of the governmental institutions tasked with serving the local population. The Pangulu Nagori Amborokan Panei Raya office still records employee attendance using the manual approach. Employee attendance is noted in the attendance book. When done this way, there are still issues that come up. Particularly the time and effort put forth to complete the attendance procedure. In addition, because attendance data has very little protection and is accessible to anyone, it is challenging to summarize staff attendance reports. Building an Android-based application that can be used to process and track employee attendance is the aim of the author's research. The author employs UML to visually create the application design (Unified Modeling Language). The system development methodology, however, is a spiral that includes the phases of customer evaluation, planning, risk analysis, engineering, building, and disposal. The Kodular framework and the Airtable database are used in the development of an Android-based attendance application. The results of the study are an android-based attendance application that can be applied to make it easier for employees to take attendance and monitor employee attendance in real-time using an Android smartphone.

IoT & Cloud-based Smart Attendance Management System using RFID

Attendance management is an essential process for organizations, particularly in the education and corporate sectors. Conventional attendance management systems are prone to errors and inefficiencies. The recent advent of IoT and cloud computing technologies has revolutionized the way attendance is man- aged, leading to more accurate and efficient systems. In this research paper, we propose architecture for an attendance management system that utilizes IoT, AWS, and an RFID module with an Arduino Uno board. The proposed system aims to automate the attendance management process and eliminate the drawbacks of traditional systems. The proposed system has two main com- ponents: the hardware and the software. The hardware component includes an RFID module connected to an Arduino Uno board, which is used to cap- ture attendance data. The software component is built using Python Django and hosted on the AWS cloud, responsible for storing and processing the atten- dance data. The system provides real-time attendance tracking and reporting and can be accessed from anywhere using a web or mobile application. The proposed architecture was implemented and tested in a real-world scenario using an RFID-enabled tag or card for attendance, and the results show that it is more accurate and efficient than traditional attendance management sys- tems. The system provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for attendance management, which can be implemented in different organizations. The pro- posed system provides real-time attendance tracking and reporting accessible through a web or mobile application. The expected results of this proposed architecture are more accurate and efficient than traditional attendance man- agement systems, making it a cost-effective and reliable solution for attendance management in various organizations.

School absenteeism and academic achievement: Does the timing of the absence matter?

A large body of research demonstrates that school absenteeism is detrimental to learning, academic achievement and educational outcomes. However, questions remain whether this relationship varies according to the timing and reasons of absenteeism. Using time-stamped administrative school attendance data among 62,841 students enrolled in secondary education, this study examined whether the association between school absenteeism and student's examination results at the end of the school year varies with the timing and reasons of absenteeism. The findings show that unexcused absenteeism, sickness absenteeism and school exclusion all have a negative impact on student's academic achievement. In addition, the findings suggested that unexcused absenteeism is more harmful at the beginning of the school year and at the end of the school year. Sickness absenteeism seems also more harmful at the end of the school year. In the discussion I elaborate on the implications of these findings for policy and practice.

A Comparison of Voice Therapy Attendance Rates Between In-Person and Telepractice

This study sought to investigate whether a significant difference exists in attendance, cancellations, and no-shows between in-person therapy and telepractice. The authors hypothesized that telepractice no-show and cancellation rates would be less than in-person no-show and cancellation rates. This retrospective study manually reviewed and analyzed attendance, no-show, and cancellation data over a 3-month span of in-person-only visits (September 2019-November 2019) and a 3-month span of telepractice visits (September 2020-November 2020) conducted at the Emory Voice Center, a tertiary care practice in urban Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, data were collected for each patient's full course of therapy outside of the 3-month windows and analyzed for attendance, no-show, and cancellation patterns. Data from 521 patients were available for review from the selected time frame. In 2019 (in-person), 157 patients met inclusion criteria, and in 2020 (telepractice), 176 patients were included. Therapy initiation, therapy attendance, and no-show rates had significant increases in the telepractice year, and cancellations made greater than 24 hr before the appointments had a significant decrease in the telepractice year. Furthermore, the overall course of therapy showed significantly fewer missed appointments and more attended appointments in the telepractice year. Patients participating in voice therapy via telepractice are more likely to initiate treatment and attend treatment and less likely to cancel sessions compared with patients receiving treatment in person. These data combined with extant data on telepractice treatment efficacy indicate that telepractice should be considered standard of care and offered to all patients seeking treatment, as it removes many reported barriers to treatment.

Disaggregated Attendance Demand: Comparing Daily Ticket Purchasers and Season Ticket Holders in K-League 1

This study investigates differences in the preferences of daily ticket purchasers and season ticket holders, focusing on outcome uncertainty. Using unique game-level attendance data of both daily ticket purchasers and season ticket holders for every team in the Korean top-tier professional soccer league, we find heterogeneity in demand between daily ticket purchasers and season ticket holders with respect to outcome uncertainty, preference for home team success, team performance, geographical distance between competing teams, and weekend games. Our results suggest that season ticket holders do not care as much about their team's performance and outcome uncertainty as daily ticket purchasers do.

Chile: Universal Collection, Open Access, and Innovation in the Use of Attendance and Absenteeism Data

In Chile, attendance is recognized as an important component of school quality and educational equity. The Chilean education system has clear, standardized definitions that apply country-wide, and a good registration system for school attendance that compiles national databases containing student-level, daily attendance, absences, and withdrawals for all children attending public schools. Moreover, these data are publicly available via open access, which allows the entire education community and the Ministry of Education access to all schools’ data in an organized, centralized manner. These data contribute to ongoing scholarship about the impacts of attendance and absenteeism on education outcomes. In practice, schools use attendance data to monitor progress toward goals. The Ministry of Education uses data to calculate and pay school subsidies that are linked directly to average monthly attendance in accordance with Chilean law, and to classify schools into categories of education quality. Chilean Fundación Educacional Oportunidad uses attendance data and continuous quality improvement methods to promote attendance and prevent chronic absenteeism with more than 150 schools via a regional Learning Network. Meanwhile, the Learning Network fills an important gap by repurposing the nationally reported data to calculate and focus on individual-level attendance and by creating opportunities for practitioners to learn together how to promote attendance and prevent chronic absenteeism. This paper describes the context of Chile and its educational system; the definition, recording, reporting and use of attendance data; and the methods, outcomes and lessons learned by the regional Learning Network.

A101 VIRTUAL MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION FOR ADULTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE: FEASIBILITY TRIAL PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Abstract Background Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) often suffer from high levels of anxiety and depression. Despite high rates of mental health comorbidity, a low proportion of patients receive psychiatric referrals and treatment. In Canada, provincial health care plans cover psychiatric services, making them affordable for patients and making referral efficient for gastroenterologists. Psychiatrist-led virtually-delivered Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has been associated with reducing feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression in several high-quality randomized control trials. It also reduces cost and travel requirements for patients, both which have been identified as barriers to accessing mental health treatment. Purpose To assess the feasibility of online-delivered MBSR for IBD patients, with feasibility outcomes defined as recruitment success, and attendance, adherence, and attrition of participating patients. Method Eligible participants were adult IBD patients aged 18-65 attending gastroenterology clinics in Edmonton, Alberta who self-identified as being anxious or depressed and/or were referred by their gastroenterologist. A research coordinator contacted eligible patients who expressed interest in participating after completing an assessment of symptoms and a semi-structured interview with a psychiatrist. The MBSR protocol was an 8-week group-based intervention aimed at giving participants tools to cope with stress effectively. Participants attended 8 weekly sessions lasting 2.5 hours/week and a one-time weekend session lasting 5 hours. They were also asked to practice every night for 45-60 minutes. Completion of the program required attendance of at least 6 of 8 weekly sessions and the weekend session. Two groups, led by the same team of qualified psychiatrists, started MBSR, with sessions occurring in the evening via Zoom. Result(s) Of the 64 patients referred to the study, 16 (25%) agreed to participate. Reasons for declining to participate are shown in Table 1, with 80% indicating they were too busy. Of the 16 patients enrolled, the median age was 36 (range: 18-55), 10 identified as female (62.5%) and 8 had Crohn’s Disease (50%). Attendance, adherence, and attrition data from the first group of 7 participants were recorded. Only 3 (42.8%) successfully completed the program. The participants that completed the program had an attendance rate of 100% and practiced 6 nights a week for an average of 25 minutes a night. A second group with 9 participants is currently ongoing. Image Conclusion(s) Although interest in a cost-free, virtual stress management resource was relatively high, willingness to enroll in MBSR specifically, was low, largely due to the time commitment. Follow-up interviews with those who enrolled and did not enroll in the intervention are underway to highlight the benefits and barriers to MBSR. Disclosure of Interest None Declared

Outpatient Attendance in COVID Pandemic Lockdown: An Observational Study

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to analyze the profile of outpatient department (OPD) attendance of a tertiary care hospital during pre- and post-pandemic lockdown period. Materials and Methods: All consecutive patients presenting to OPD from August 1, 2019 to November 23, 2020 were included in the study. The sample was divided into Zone R (Regular domain) and Zone L (Lockdown domain). Zone L was divided into three groups A, B, and C; representing attendance to be <30%, 30–60%, and >60% of previous (i.e., Zone R), respectively. The patient gender, intradepartmental, and inter departmental OPD attendance data were collected and analyzed. Results: n = 428,322 patients attended the OPD in the study period. 301,586 patients presented in Zone R and 126,736 presented in Zone L (P = 0.000). Zone L recorded an OPD attendance drop to 42% of Zone R. The least attended an OPD (Group A) was ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, surgery, and orthopedics versus highest attendance (Group C) was noticed in emergency OPD and oncology with a moderate decline in the rest (P = −0.00, 0.00, and 0.00, respectively). Both male and female attendance in the OPD showed a decline; however, the gender divide was apparent with significantly low women attendance in all the departments (P = 0.00). Conclusion: OPD attendance showed a significant reduction in COVID lockdown era hitting the non-emergent medical branches the most. The gender divide significantly widened with less female attendance recorded in most OPDs in pandemic lockdown. Apt administrative measures could prove fruitful by an improved OPD attendance and its psychosocial implications to a society with less disease burden.

Prototipe Kelas Pintar dengan Absensi Otomatis MAC Address Gawai Berbasis IoT

This IoT-based smart classroom prototype was built using the NodeMCU microcontroller ESP8266. The automation system works by checking if there are users connected to the access point in the classroom and the course scheduled to use it. The attendance check is done by fetching MAC address from a user's device automatically. Next, it will activate relay to turn on electrical facilities in the used classroom, such as lamps, fans, or air conditioners. The system also uses the website using MySQL database to monitor classroom conditions, edit class schedules, register user devices to the system and access attendance data. From the tests carried out, the system can run according to design. Among other things, the relay circuit can be arranged according to the schedule of activities and the whereabouts of the user. Attendance data can be displayed according to users who are connected and registered in the system. The calculations on total delay of system yield results that the delay to activate the classroom is 10.66 ± 0.87 seconds on the website and 14.55 ± 0.78 seconds on the relay. On the other hand, the delay needed to deactivate the classroom is 39.34 ± 3.69 seconds on the website and 36.26 ± 3.70 seconds on the relay.

Employee Attendance Application Using QR Code Android-Based at Eria Hospital Pekanbaru

Eria Hospital has implemented a fingerprint attendance system, but it has some limitations such as difficulty in reading fingerprints, limited access to fingerprint scanner which is only located in one place, and dependence on shared equipment. To overcome these problems, an Android-based attendance application was developed using Waterfall software design.

The quality of this application is based on ISO 25010 quality standards, which include functional testing with all functionalities working well, reliability testing with an A rating, compatibility testing with split-screen feature compatibility, security testing with an A rating, portability testing with results can be install on different devices and Android versions 8.1 to 12, maintainability testing with an A rating, efficiency testing with a startup time of around 1.6 seconds, and user experience testing with attractiveness score of 2.62, perspicuity score of 2.57, efficiency score of 2.62, dependability score of 2.51, stimulation score of 2.62, and novelty score of 2.40. Overall, the implementation of an Android-based attendance application using QR Code has proved to be a viable solution to the challenges faced by the fingerprint attendance system, and has contributed to the optimization of attendance data collection and processing in Eria Hospital.

Patient-nurse ratio as an index related to healthcare-associated infections: a surveillance study.

Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are a hospital problem with a prevalence of approximately 5% in Mexico. HCAIs have been related to the patient-nurse ratio (PNR). This study aimed to analyze the association between PNR and HCAI in a tertiary-level pediatric hospital. We conducted a descriptive and prospective study at a tertiary-level pediatric hospital in Mexico. Nursing attendance and HCAIs records were documented from July 2017 to December 2018. PNR was calculated using nurse staffing records and patient census. We obtained 63,114 staff attendance data from five hospital departments for the morning, evening, and night shifts. PNR > 2:1 was associated with a 54% (95% confidence interval (CI) 42-167%; p < 0.001) increased risk (odds ratio (OR)) for HCAIs, adjusted by shift staff, special conditions, and surveillance periods. The HCAIs more associated with PNR were urinary tract infections (OR 1.83; 95%CI 1.34-2.46), procedure-related pneumonia (OR 2.08; 95%CI 1.41-3.07), and varicella (OR 2.33; 95%CI 1.08-5.03). A high number of patients per nurse increased the probability of various types of HCAI. PNR needs to be established the HCAI guidelines and policies, as regulating the number of patients per nurse can prevent HCAIs and their complications.

Activeness of Visits to Integrated Healthcare Post and the Quality of Life among the Elderly in Peguyangan Kangin Village, North Denpasar, Bali

The number of people aged over 60 years exceeds seven percent of the total world population which is currently in the era of aging population. Elderly Integrated Healthcare Post (Posyandu) provide social, religion, education, skills, sports, arts and culture services and other services with the aim of improving the quality of life of the elderly. This study aims to determine the relationship between activeness of visits to Posyandu and the quality of life among the elderly. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Peguyangan Kangin Village, North Denpasar, Bali from April 2022-May 2022. The independent variable was the activeness of visits and the dependent variable was the quality of life of the elderly. The samples involved 158 respondents who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Demographic data and questions related to quality of life were obtained by distributing questionnaires containing informed consent during the elderly Posyandu activities. Meanwhile, data on the activeness of the elderly for the last six months was taken from attendance data recorded by cadres in 10 banjars/hamlets. Bivariate analysis towards data with ordinal and nominal scales using the Spearman rho test obtained a p value of 0.873. Thus, statistically there was no relationship between the activeness of visits to Posyandu and the quality of life among the elderly in Peguyangan Timur Village, Denpasar. Healthcare workers and elderly Posyandu cadres are recommended to focus not only on the presence of the elderly at the Posyandu, but also try to implement the elderly Posyandu program properly.

Zoo Tourism in the Visegrad Four Countries

Attendance is one of the indicators of tourist attractions' success. Zoological gardens are among the most visited tourist attractions. However, there is practically no research on this topic, less so in the post-socialist countries. It is the aim of this article, therefore, to identify, using the example of the Visegrad Four countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia), how zoo attendance generally develops and to discuss why it is so. For this purpose, a database of EAZA member zoos in these countries was created. Attendance data was obtained from multiple sources, e.g. from annual reports, the International Zoo Yearbook (IZY) and email communication. It was found that the total attendance has been on the rise since it plummeted at the beginning of the 1990s; Czech zoos went up first and now they are the absolutely most visited, even per capita. The current attendance (2019) to Czech zoos more than doubled compared to the mid-1960s; in Slovakia and Poland it does not reach even 150%. There was an increase of almost 43 % in 2010–2019; the highest one was in Poland. The most visited zoo since 2015 has been the Wrocław Zoo (PL), where an iconic Afrykarium was opened.

PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI ABSENSI DAN PENGGAJIAN KARYAWAN DENGAN METODE FRAMEWORK LARAVEL DAN SCRUM PADA DANEZ HEALTH CARE

Danez Health Care is a pharmaceutical service facility that has been established since 2014 and now has 1 Clinic branch and 4 Pharmacy branches in Purwakarta, Bekasi and Bogor. Danez Health Care's head office is in the same location as its clinic, namely in Bogor. However, the attendance process that occurs at Danez Health Care is still done manually by each branch which makes it difficult for Finance / HRD to control working hours and calculate the net salary of employees at each branch. Seeing the existing problems and to make it easier for Finance/HRD to control employee working hours and attendance accuracy, a website-based employee attendance and payroll application is needed using the Laravel framework and scrum methodology. To produce salary calculations that are directly systemised on employee attendance data, it also makes it easier to collect attendance data. The design of the application uses UML design tools, balsamiq mockup, xampp and mysql as a database. The results of this study are in the form of an attendance application that can be directly connected to the calculation of employee net salaries every month, and can produce pay slips, employee absence recap data from all branches, calculation of employee net salaries that can provide information quickly to Finance/HRD.
