To examine the prevalence of burnout and its work-related factors among public health providers (PHP) during COVID-19 pandemic.We surveyed 366 PHP in May 2021 on their burnout, demographic, characteristics. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify associated factors.45% reported burnout. Higher was with younger age (AOR 0.96, 95% CI 0.93-0.99), prolonged involvement 2.35, 1.16-4.72), as well perceiving medium 2.10, 1.27-3.48) high emotional demand 4.45, 1.67-11.77), low 4.18,...
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of contracting coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in their workplace. Infection prevention guidelines and standard operating procedures were introduced to reduce exposure prevent transmission. Safe practices during interaction with patients COVID-19 crucial for infection control (IPC). This study aimed assess HCWs' compliance IPC determine its association sociodemographic organizational factors. A cross-sectional was conducted between March April 2021...
Introduction: Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Although the incidence of diphtheria worldwide has rapidly declined following largely successful toxoid-based vaccines, concerns persist for those who were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated. In this report, we describe a recent outbreak in Malaysia involving four confirmed cases.
 Methodology: The investigation efforts and epidemiological characteristics are described. For all suspected...
Background Dengue fever has a profound impact in Malaysia, and globally, it strong potential to spread new territories as consequence of human activities climate change that modify the environment. Environmental factors can affect disease epidemic via their influence on vector’s habitat propagation. Among economic costs borne dealing with this matter related identification vector surveillance. The relationship between dengue environmental namely land use degree urbanisation were investigated...
Background Loss to follow-up (LTFU) is an unsuccessful treatment outcome for tuberculosis (TB) patients. In Malaysia, LTFU affects around 1 in 20 TB Integration of qualitative research methods and evidence will provide a better understanding its underlying issues. this study, we qualitatively explored patients’ experiences receiving their reasons leaving care. Method In-depth interviews 15 patients with history were conducted from January September 2020. Interview guides developed explore...
Introduction: It is a fact that children are vulnerable, and at risk from benzene, volatile, carcinogenic organic compound. The aim of our study to determine the levels ambient air benzene examine non-carcinogenic risks involved Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted in two urban rural primary schools Johor, Malaysia. Benzene concentrations were measured using BUCK Libra L-4 pumps analyzed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Data collected 334 10-12 year old children, calculate...
Introduction: Persistent exposure to indoor hazards in a healthcare setting poses risk of SBS. This study determines the prevalence and factors for SBS among workers health clinics. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted across four clinics from February 2022 May 2022. As part study, self-administered questionnaires were completed determine symptoms related An air quality (IAQ) assessment times daily fifteen minutes at five areas each clinic (laboratory, lobby, emergency room, pharmacy,...
Low carbon development, a strategy proposed to slow climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emission, is often associated with the improvement of public health. Yet very few studies have examined this association. We conducted study examine potential health gains reduction daily ambient particulate matter as result adopting low development strategies at mixed industrial area in southern Peninsular Malaysia. In first stage, retrospective time-series were estimate effects exposure...
Dengue fever has a tremendous health impact in Malaysia and it huge potential to spread new territory globally due human activity climate change. Environmental factors affect the disease epidemic via their influence on its vector propagation. Among challenges dealing with this matter is identification preparedness. The relationship between dengue land use was studied four districts state of Selangor from 2008 2010, where longitude latitude each case location characteristics plotted analyzed...
This study focuses on developing a user-friendly mobile application for dengue site inspection, aiming to address the persistent threat of vector-borne diseases in Malaysia. The current practice inspection is still using paper-based method, which inefficient, prompting need app solution. Existing methods identifying and destroying breeding grounds, known as Destruction Action Breeding Place (Pemusnahan Tempat Pembiakan, PTP), face constraints due limited technology information facilities....
Non communicable disease (NCD) has recently emerged as a major public-health concern, with prevalence rising over the world. As submerged portion of iceberg, hidden burden NCD is escalating and devouring affects HCW in same way it other types workers. Healthcare worker (HCW) should serve role models community, raising prevention knowledge encouraging patients to adopt healthier lifestyle. The Objective study access non-communicable among healthcare A cross sectional was conducted Johor state...
