Sampling was carried out based on a purposive technique whose inclusion criteria were active college students. This research used questionnaires distributed in online version among 49 medical faculties that belong to The Association of Indonesian Private Medical Faculty. Instruments included demographic database, medical education status, experience with medical tele-education, ownership types of electronic devices, availability of technologies, programs of education methods, career plans, attitudes toward pandemic, and the mental health of respondents. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis was conducted to determine the association of variables. All statistical analyses using (IBM) SPSS version 22.0.ResultsMost of the respondents were female (69.4%), the mean age was 20.9 ± 2.1 years. More than half of the respondents (58.7%) reported that they have adequate skills in using digital devices. Most of them (74%) agreed that e-learning can be implemented in Indonesia. The infrastructure aspects that require attention are Internet access and the type of supporting devices. The pandemic also has an impact on the sustainability of the education program.

Around 4% student being sick, self-isolation and taking care sick family. the pandemic was found to affect students’ interests and future career plans (34%). The majority of students (52.2%) are concerned that the pandemic will limit their opportunities to become specialists. Nearly 40% of respondents expressed anxiety symptoms about a variety of issues for several days. About a third of respondents feel sad, depressed, and hopeless for a few days.ConclusionThe infrastructure and competency of its users are required for E-learning to be successful. The majority of medical students believe that e-learning can be adopted in Indonesia and that their capacity to use electronic devices is good. However, access to the internet remains a problem. On the other side, the pandemic has disrupted the education process and mental health, with fears of being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the loss of opportunities to apply for specialty training, and the potential for increased financial difficulties among medical students. Our findings can be used to assess the current educational process in medical schools and maximize e-learning as an alternative means of preparing doctors for the future.

AbstrakProses penerimaan mahasiswa baru di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati (FK Unswagati) lebih menekankan pada hasil tes seleksi akademik sebagai faktor kognitif, sedangkan faktor non-kognitif kurang diperhitungkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor kognitif dan non-kognitif pada seleksi mahasiswa baru sebagai prediktor prestasi akademik. Metode yang digunakan adalah potong lintang dengan sampel total berjumlah 97 orang terdiri dari mahasiswa angkatan 2009 dan 2010. Prestasi akademik diukur melalui IPK S.ked, rerata nilai blok, dan Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) komprehensif. Tes seleksi akademik memiliki hubungan yang bermakna (r=0,40) dan mempengaruhi IPK sebesar 16% dan nilai blok sebesar 11,9%, sedangkan tes seleksi akademik tidak berhubungan secara bermakna dengan nilai OSCE komprehensif. Karakteristik psikologi tidak memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan ketiga variabel prestasi akademik, tetapi motivasi dan strategi belajar menunjukkan pengaruh terhadap IPK sebesar 19,3% dan 30,6%. Maka, tes seleksi akademik memiliki predictive validity terhadap prestasi akademik, dan karakteristik psikologi dapat meningkatkan kekuatan prediksi terhadap prestasi akademik.

Background. This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence and habit-associated risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) among fishermen.Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 168 adult fishermen in Cirebon Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A self-administered questionnaire was given. The questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics and validated GERD questionnaire (GERDQ) in Indonesian language. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. The study has been approved by the Medical Research Ethic Comiittee.Results. The medan age of the participants was 39.0 (24-86) years old. They were predominanty (60.7%) female. The prevalence of GERD was 22.6%. According to bivariate analysis, there was association between smoking (PR 1.181; 95%CI 1.013-1.377;p 0.041), high-salt intake (PR 2.419;95%CI 1.079-5.424; p 0.029), herb consumption (PR 3.068; 95%CI 1.307-7.200; p 0.008), poor hand hygiene (PR 3.202; 95%ci 1.445-7.095; p 0.003), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) consumption (PR 3.062; 95%CI 1.446-6.488; p 0.00) with GERD. Tea consumption, coffee consumption, and raw vegetable eating were not associated with GERD.Conclusions This population-based study showed that the prevalence of GERD among fishermen in Indonesia is high. Habits associated with GERD in this study were smoking, high-salt intake, herb consumption poor, hand hygiene,
