Hospital laboratory management in dealing with disaster.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify scientific evidence and knowledge currently available related to clinical laboratory management in the face of disasters with the literature review method. METHOD: This is a literature review study. Various references were collected from online databases, including reports, scientific journals, and books in the last ten years. Articles are screened according to the research objectives. The keywords used are laboratories, hospitals, disasters, Point of Care Testing (POCT). RESULTS: POCT is defined as the tools of a laboratory diagnostic test used in a disaster situation effectively. It can be operated by anyone who has been trained. However, it is quite constrained by temperature, earthquake shocks, and battery life. Storage and reagents supply, such as the strip test, might be prepare before the disaster. Moreover, maintenance and validation of POCT tools in disaster preparation is necessary. Hospitals must prepare POCT to conquer the limitation of electricity sources, human resources, and buildings situation was using a laboratory diagnostic analyzer not possible. The POCT was suitable to be conveyed anywhere both within the hospital and to disaster sites using the vehicle.

The effect of convergent action on reducing stunting prevalence in under-five children in Banggai District, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the amount of changes in prevalence of stunting after one-year convergence intervention. METHODS: This was an evaluation study of national program that implemented in Banggai District beginning 2018. There were ten villages (n=532) that included in the program based on severity of stunting prevalence. Data were analyzed using chi-square and independent t-test using SPSS. RESULT: After a year program, stunting reduced to 38.91% or 2.18% from the baseline (41.09%). The highest reduction was in at 0-5 mo (8.59%) and 6-11 mo (8.46%). There was no difference using height for age z-score in all ages (-1.64±1.19 to -1.59±1.38, p=0.506). However, the reduction was significant at 0-11 months (-1.20±1.23 to 0.78±1.58, p=0.020) but no in other age categories (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: The convergence action for one year intervention reduced significantly stunting in 0-11 months of children but not in other age categories of under five children.
