[PMID: 34927724 PMCID: PMC9303218 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.33910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
COVID‐19 disruptions severely impacted access to health services for noncommunicable diseases, including cancer, but few studies have examined patient perspectives of COVID‐19‐induced barriers to care in low/middle‐income countries. Data come from a survey completed online, over the phone or in person of 284 adult people with cancer in Kenya. One‐third (36%) of participants had primary or no education and 34% had some or complete secondary education. Half of the participants (49%) were aged 40 to 59, 21% were 18 to 39 and 23% were 60 or older. Two‐thirds were female (65%) and most visited a national referral hospital in Nairobi to receive care (84%). Mean travel time to Nairobi from the respondent county of residence was 2.47 hours (±2.73). Most participants reported decreased household income (88%) and were worried about their ability to afford cancer treatment due to COVID‐19 (79%). After covariate adjustment, participants who lost access to hospitals due to COVID‐19 travel restrictions were 15 times more likely to experience a cancer care delay (OR = 14.90, 95% CI: 7.44‐29.85) compared to those with continued access to hospitals. Every additional hour of travel time to Nairobi from their county of residence resulted in a 20% increase in the odds of a cancer care delay (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.06‐1.36). Transportation needs and uninterrupted access to cancer care and medicines should be accounted for in COVID‐19 mitigation strategies. These strategies include permits for cancer patients and caregivers to travel past curfew time or through block posts to receive care during lockdowns, cash assistance and involving patient navigators to improve patient communication.

Fikriana R, Afik A, Marinda MM. The Behavior of Using Masks during the Coronavirus Disease 19 Pandemic in Malang Regency, Indonesia: Application of Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Support. Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2021. [DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2021.6761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The use of masks during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is one of the efforts to prevent its transmission. However, it was found that the behavior of the use of masks in the community is still low.
AIM: This study aims to analyze people’s behavior in the use of masks with the theory of planned behavior and social support approach.
METHODS: Research using a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted on 90 people in Malang, Indonesia, taken with simple random sampling techniques. Variables measured are behavioral beliefs, evaluation of behavioral outcomes, normative beliefs, motivation to comply, control beliefs, perceived power, attitude, subjective norm, perceived control, intention, family support, peer support, and mask usage behavior. Research instrument is questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a linear regression test.
RESULTS: Results showed that the behavior of mask use according to the theory of planned behavior was significantly influenced by perceived power (p < 0.001), normative beliefs (p = 0.019), and intention to perform the behavior (p = 0.041). While in the social support component, peer support obtained a significant effect (p = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: As an effort to improve the behavior of the use of masks in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to strengthen perceived power, normative beliefs, and intentions accompanied by good peer support so that the community complies with the use of masks for the prevention of transmission.

Zhao T, Zhang Y, Wu C, Su Q. Will Anti-Epidemic Campus Signals Affect College Students' Preparedness in the Post-COVID-19 Era? INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18179276. [PMID: 34501868 PMCID: PMC8430716 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18179276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a tremendous global threat and challenge for human beings, and individuals need to be prepared for the next wave of the outbreak, especially in the educational setting. Limited research has focused on individual knowledge, awareness, and preparedness of COVID-19 in postsecondary institutions in the post-COVID-19 era so far. This study aimed to explore whether students' perceived anti-epidemic campus signals had effects on their awareness of and preparedness for COVID-19. Leveraging the data collected from full-time college students in a province located in East China and building a structural regression model, we found that students' perceived anti-epidemic campus signals were significantly associated with their awareness of and preparedness for COVID-19. With one perceived signal decrease, there were 0.099 unit and 0.051 unit decreases in students' awareness and preparedness, respectively. In addition, we indeed found that female students had a higher awareness and better preparedness than their male peers. These findings provided important implications for postsecondary administrators and policymakers, as well as future research.

Abstract
This dataset describes a survey presenting reproductive, high-fat diet and body mass index (BMI) determinant factors for breast cancer among Indonesian women. The information was gathered from breast cancer and non-breast cancer patients via an online questionnaire, determining reproductive factors (menarche age, menopause age, first pregnancy age, parity, and breastfeeding), high-fat diet and BMI, from 1st June until 31th September 2020. Two hundred breast cancer patients and 200 non-breast cancer patients in Indonesia willing to fill out an online survey provided the samples. The data was analyzed using IBM version 25.0, which included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. The information would help Indonesian women in identifying the potential of breast cancer.
