Title: Analysis factors related to prisoner’s resiliency in Rutan Perempuan kelas IIA Surabaya Authors: Danurwenda Rahmah, Citra; Fitryasari, Rizky; Pradanie, Retnayu Abstract: Introduction: Staying in prison as a female prisoner will affect her physical and psychological conditions. Psychologically, the emotional state and mental health of women are different from men, and the prevalence of poor mentality among female prisoners is higher. Such a situation can be avoided if the prisoners have good resilience. One of the efforts to increase resilience is to know the factors related to resilience through this research. Methods: This is a correlational study with cross-sectional approach. The population was all prisoners and detainees in Rutan Perempuan Kelas IIA Surabaya with a sample size of 115 respondents. The variables of this study are individual factors (detention status, recidivism, length of detention, latest education, previous employment, and criminal acts committed), emotional regulation, social support, stigma, and resilience. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: There is a relationship which shows that emotional regulation (p = 0.012; r = 1.223), social support (p = 0.003; r = 1.363) can increase resilience while stigma (p = 0.010; r = -1.383) can reduce the level of resilience in prisoners and prisoners. Meanwhile, individual factors were not associated with resilience (p = 0.596; 0.627; 0.298; 0.170; 0.857; 0.457). Conclusions: Increasing resilience in prisoners and detainees can be achieved by increasing emotional regulation and social support as well as reducing stigma against prisoners and detainees by doing the active participation of prisoners and detainees, detention center officers, and families or people closest to inmates and holding a positive activity within the prison.

Title: The relationship between disease severity and functional status of post-covid-19 patients in Banda Aceh, Indonesia Authors: Yanti, Budi; Hajar, Siti Abstract: Introduction: Coronavirus Disease-2019 known as COVID-19 has spread rapidly worldwide, changing many aspects of life, including the functional status. Therefore, this study aims to assess the relationship between disease severity and the functional status of COVID-19 patients after recovery in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 109 post COVID-19 patients having been cured for more than 4-8 weeks in a hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The history of disease severity of COVID-19 was collected from medical records and was divided into mild, moderate, severe, and very severe according to the WHO guidelines. The functional status was assessed using the Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS) questionnaire and divided into five categories namely no functional limitation, negligible, slight, moderate, and severe functional limitation. The relationship between the severity of COVID-19 and functional status was assessed statistically using the Spearman rank test. Results: Out of 109 selected respondents, there was one patient with mild severity, and 68, 37, and three patients have a history of moderate, severe, and very severe COVID-19, respectively. Those imply the functional status with no functional limitation (6%), negligible (21%), slight (4%), moderate (42%), and severe functional limitation (28%). In addition, fatigue was the most common symptom that persisted among respondents. Furthermore, the statistical result showed that the history of COVID-19 severity had a significant relationship with the post-COVID-19 functional status (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study showed that post-COVID-19 cases have varying functional limitations ranging from negligible to severe. The COVID-19 severity significantly correlates with the functional status post-recovery. Hence, it is recommended to conduct a monitoring program to assess the post-COVID-19 functional status regularly, especially in outpatient clinics of the government healthcare center, in order to enhance the research findings.
