Tuberculosis is a chronic and infectious disease that is still a major public health problem. The spread of this disease is caused by contact with infected droplets. The strategy of the tuberculosis control program in Indonesia uses the directly observed treatment short-course (DOTS) strategy in which patients will be sought and treated until they are cured. Every patient also needs Drug Drink Supervisor (called PMO) who can be nurses, midwives, family members, and health cadres. The role of the TB Drugs Drink Supervisor that has been described in many studies can increase the cure rate by up to 80%. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between the role of PMO in the recovery of tuberculosis patients. This research was a cross-sectional research design. Purposive sampling was used to determine the 96 tuberculosis patients who had completed the treatment program. The chi-square was used to identify the relationship between the variables. The study found that there is a relationship between the role of TB drug supervisors (conducting home visits, accompaniment during anti-tuberculosis drug swallowing, providing health education, encouragement of sputum re-checking, and accompaniment during taking anti-tuberculosis drugs in public health centers) with patient recovery (p=0.000). When the TB Drug Drink Supervisor performed well in all roles, it will motivate the TB patients to follow the treatment recommendation and facilitate TB recovery.

The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to develop in Indonesia since the beginning of 2020. The incidence and death rates continue to increase from day to day. Various efforts were made to stop the spread of the deadly Covid-19. One way to prevent and suppress the spread of infection with the virus is to vaccinate. The role of the vaccine is to provide immunity. Many people in the city of Kupang do not believe in the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine, so they do not want to be vaccinated. The objective of this study is to describe the level of public confidence in the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine in Liliba Village, Oebobo District, Kupang City. The research method is quantitative with a descriptive study research design. The population is people who live in the Liliba sub-district, Oebobo district, Kupang City. The sample was 106 people who were taken using the Cluster Simple Random Sampling technique. The results showed that the level of public confidence in the susceptibility of the Covid-19 vaccine was (89.6%), the seriousness of the vaccine's effectiveness (90.6%), the benefits of the vaccine (54.7%), and the perceived barriers (88.7%). This study revealed that the level of public confidence in the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine in Liliba Village, Oebobo District, Kupang City is high.

Despite the rapid advancement and evolution of nursing informatics applications in healthcare, the incorporation and refurbishing of undergraduate informatics competencies in the curriculum has been organized. the integration of informatics in the Philippine curriculum began decade ago. However, it is still not identified whether these initiatives are successful in enhancing NI skills among graduates considering the low rate of technology utilization by most hospitals in the country. As a result, it requires a global need for nursing informatics competencies to be updated and revisited into the nursing curriculum. The objective of this study is to gather accord from the literature and to determine the definition of fundamental nursing informatics competencies for baccalaureate nursing programs in the Philippines. A review of related studies and corroboration of related literature such as different nursing curricula, perspectives of nursing informatics competencies in every country and to the resource organizations standards providing trainings, conducts research and guide HEIs was performed. International and local organizations were preparing the advancement of informatics through research, trainings, continuous quality improvement, and innovations in HIT. The identified common ground plugging the gap in nursing informatics competencies were nursing care and management proficiencies, information literacy and management, computer skills, health facilities’ technology resources, and ethics and legal understanding in HIT (NICHE). The prior competencies (basic computer skills, information literacy, and information) should be adaptable to local differences and consulted to industry partners and stakeholders. These attempts at competency standardization have to be balanced with suppleness to account for local variations and conditions.
