The ongoing global pandemic has underscored the importance of rapid and reliable identification of COVID-19 cases to enable effective disease management and control. Traditional diagnostic methods, while valuable, often have limitations in terms of time, resources, and accuracy. The approach involved combining the SqueezeNet deep neural network with the Gaussian kernel in support vector machines (SVMs). The model was trained and evaluated on a dataset of CT images, leveraging SqueezeNet for feature extraction and the Gaussian kernel for non-linear classification. The SN-guided Gaussian-Kernel SVM (SGS) model achieved high accuracy and sensitivity in diagnosing COVID-19. It outperformed other models with an impressive accuracy of 96.15% and exhibited robust diagnostic capabilities. The SGS model presents a promising approach for accurate COVID-19 diagnosis. Integrating SqueezeNet and the Gaussian kernel enhances its ability to capture complex relationships and classify COVID-19 cases effectively.

Expressive arts-based interventions have proven effective in facilitating discovery, healing, and change across diverse client populations, and particularly in deepening older individuals’ connection with their own creativity, resulting in improvements in physical and mental well-being. In this study, expressive arts-based interventions were utilised in ten groups of Chinese older carers of adult family members with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Focus group interviews were used to investigate the effectiveness. Amongst the forty-seven participants, the majority were mothers between sixty-one and seventy years old. More than half of the care recipients were over the age of thirty. The emergent themes included breakthroughs in self-expression, exploration of existential meaning, and confrontation with impending mortality. Participants had great worries about the future care arrangements, leading to immense feelings of frustration which were suppressed in accordance with prevailing Chinese values. Expressive arts were found effective in facilitating the expression of concealed emotions and expectations. The creative process was therapeutic in reconnecting the participants with forgotten events and relationships to discover positive meanings for change, enlightening them to embrace end-of-life as natural, treasure the present, and re-focus on self. Without a care arrangement solution, they resorted to maintaining health for life extension. Implications for service are included.
Lansia merupakan kelompok yang paling rentan terkena penyakit Covid-19. Kecemasan pada lansia dengan Covid-19 merupakan faktor kesehatan mental yang penting untuk diatasi. Terdapat kendala dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar lansia sehingga lansia memerlukan bantuan keluarga. Pengalaman keluarga dalam mendampingi lansia terpapar Covid-19 sangat berguna untuk memperoleh informasi terkait perawatan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memperoleh informasi yang mendalam tentang pengalaman anggota keluarga ketika mendampingi lansia terpapar Covid-19 selama isolasi di rumah sakit. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif, dengan pendekatan fenomenologis. Partisipan terdiri dari 11 anggota keluarga dengan cara purposive sampling, dilakukan wawancara mendalam untuk data yang terdiri dari 5 pernyataan terbuka dengan menggunakan rekaman suara. Analisis data menggunakan analisis isi. Temuan hasil penelitian ini adalah terdapat 7 tema: 1) Pengetahuan pendamping mengenai tujuan pendampingan lansia penderita Covid-19 selama isolasi di RS, 2) Perasaan kekeluargaan saat orang tuanya dinyatakan Covid-19, 3) Kondisi lansia setelahnya dinyatakan Covid-19, 4) Aktivitas pendamping saat mendampingi lansia yang mengidap Covid-19, 5) Saat perawat memberikan motivasi kepada lansia yang mengidap Covid-19, 6) Kendala Pendamping Saat Mendampingi Isolasi Lansia di Rumah Sakit, 7) Harapan terhadap Pendamping Agar Mendampingi Lansia penderita Covid-19 Selama Isolasi di Rumah Sakit. Pentingnya menggali pengalaman keluarga dalam mendampingi lansia penderita Covid-19 selama isolasi di rumah sakit untuk memberikan rasa tenang khususnya psikologi sehingga mempercepat kesembuhan lansia. Dengan hadirnya pendampingan dari pihak keluarga lansia penderita Covid-19 selain memiliki rasa tenang dan hilangnya rasa ketakutan semakin menurun, timbulnya harapan atau semangat kembali, ketika diketahui terkena postif Covid-19 dan jika disertai adanya penyakit penyerta. Kegiatan dari anggota keluarga dalam mendampingi selama isolasi yang sangat positif dan berdampak yaitu berkomunikasi terus menerus dengan lansia, memberikan motivasi kepada lansia agar semangat dalam masa pemulihan, memperhatikan asupan gizi dari makanan yang dikonsumsi lansia, berdoa, menonton dan bahkan berkomunikasi melalui telepon atau video call dengan anggota keluarga di rumah lainnya.
