Published: August 2024

Convergence is a process where high economic growth reduces development inequality. Convergence occurs when poorer regions experience higher economic growth than richer regions. DKI Jakarta is a province that has high economic growth, but inequality between cities/regencies in DKI Jakarta from 2000 - 2010 is still high. This study uses the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) to see indications of convergence and the factors that influence it in DKI Jakarta during 2011-2021. The results showed that there was convergence between cities / regencies in DKI Jakarta Province, characterized by a negative and significant initial per capita income coefficient value. The base sector GRDP, capital, and labor variables are proven to be jointly able to influence economic growth and accelerate the half-life of convergence from 72 years to 9 years. Base sector income can significantly accelerate the convergence so that the policy of developing the tertiary sector in the city area; as well as the primary and secondary sectors in Kepulauan Seribu Regency as a base sector can be considered to accelerate convergence.

The Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) is a province in Java with the highest poverty rate from 2012-2022, which is supported by the high Human Development Index (HDI) and the low unemployment rate with the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) indicator. This study aims to determine the effect of HDI and TPT on the poverty rate in DIY, and also to find out the actual conditions in DIY Province by using the granger causality test method, panel data regression analysis and descriptive analysis. With this method, it results that there is no causality relationship between variables. For panel data regression analysis, the best model is Random Effect Model (REM) with the result that HDI has a negative and significant effect and unemployment rate has a positive and significant effect on poverty rate. Meanwhile, the actual condition of DIY is that the poverty rate in DIY is not like the statistical calculation of the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), because BPS statistical indicators cannot explain the poverty rate in DIY Province. The high poverty rate in DIY based on BPS is due to unique consumption patterns and is supported by the socio-cultural conditions that exist there.

Abstract: In conjunction with the increasing complexity of financial transactions in a company, the escalating business competition requires the management to have comprehensive supervision of the entire flow of the company's transactions. One of the financial instruments majorly influencing financial statements, cash has different characteristics from other assets: difficult ownership identification, transferable, small in size, and highly desirable. To avoid cash misappropriation, an accounting control system of cash receipts and disbursements is required in a precise and systematic manner.

Published: August 2024

The rapid change on economic environment highly requires organizations to control the risks related to the financial and operative purposes. Furthermore, monitoring is also crucial for the management and the board of directors in providing them significant information related to the performance and the effectiveness of internal control systems. Internal audit as a part of internal control system has helped organizations manage and mitigate the risk as well as understanding the position where their risks are. In the effort of achieving the objective, COSO framework gives a concrete alternative for organizations to mitigate the risks related to the validity of financial reporting. This study is aimed at understanding the internal control implemented in Jumhouria and Sahara banks in Libya according to the top managementsâ€™ perspectives based on COSO framework. This study is qualitative descriptive research. Data was collected through questionnaire that was distributed by E-mail. Furthermore, an interview was also done to gain deep information done by e-mail as well. The findings of this study revealed that control environment has not been well implemented by the Jumhouria and Sahara banks although the integrity and ethical value are communicated effectively throughout the organization. However, there is no consistency between the works done by the management of operating units with the senior management. Furthermore, it is believed that COSO Framework brings some benefits for the banks although the implementation of its components has not been recognized. A good internal control is important, because it may give the bank an idea of how it is performing.

BACKGROUND

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care professionals experienced high levels of depression. However, extant research has not highlighted effective internet-based psychological interventions to improve the mental health in this population during the pandemic. It remains unclear whether self-guided, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) programs are effective in improving the mental health of health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based iCBT stress management program for reducing the depression experienced by nurses in Vietnam and Thailand.

METHODS

From March to April 2022, a 2-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was implemented. One arm offered a 7-week self-guided iCBT program, and the other offered treatment as usual as a control arm. Full-time nurses were recruited from 6 hospitals: 2 hospitals in Vietnam and 4 hospitals in Thailand. The primary outcome of this program was the severity of depression measured by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 items. Follow-up surveys were conducted to measure the change in depression severity at 3 months (July-August 2022) and at 6 months (October-November 2022) after baseline. Mixed modeling for repeated measures was used to test the effects of the intervention compared with the control for the follow-up.

RESULTS

A total of 1203 nurses were included in this study: 602 in the intervention group and 601 in the control group. The follow-up rate at 3 and 6 months ranged from 85.7% (515/601) to 87.5% (527/602). The completion rate for the program was 68.1% (410/602). The group difference in depression was significant at the 3-month follow-up (coefficient=–0.92, 95% CI –1.66 to –0.18; P=.02) and nonsignificant at the 6-month follow-up (coefficient=–0.33, 95% CI –1.11 to 0.45; P=.41). The estimated effect sizes were –0.15 and –0.06 at the 3- and 6-month follow-ups, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study shows that the smartphone-based iCBT program was effective in reducing depression at the 3-month follow-up among hospital nurses in Vietnam and Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the effect size was small, and therefore, these results may not be clinically meaningful.

Evaluation of Digital Mental Health Technologies in the United States: Systematic Literature Review and Framework Synthesis (Preprint)
Authors: Catania Julianna , Beaver Steph , Kamath Rakshitha S , Worthington Emma , Lu Minyi , Gandhi Hema , Waters Heidi C , Malone Daniel C
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Digital mental health technologies (DMHTs) have the potential to enhance mental health care delivery. However, there is little information on how DMHTs are evaluated and what factors influence their use.

OBJECTIVE

A systematic literature review was conducted to understand how DMHTs are valued in the United States from user, payer, and employer perspectives.

METHODS

Articles published after 2017 were identified from MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, the Health Technology Assessment Database, and digital and mental health congresses. Each article was evaluated by 2 independent reviewers to identify US studies reporting on factors considered in the evaluation of DMHTs targeting mental health, Alzheimer disease, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Study quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Qualitative and Cohort Studies Checklists. Studies were coded and indexed using the American Psychiatric Association’s Mental Health App Evaluation Framework to extract and synthesize relevant information, and novel themes were added iteratively as identified.

RESULTS

Of the 4353 articles screened, data from 26 unique studies from patient, caregiver, and health care provider perspectives were included. Engagement style was the most reported theme (23/26, 88%), with users valuing DMHT usability, particularly alignment with therapeutic goals through features including anxiety management tools. Key barriers to DMHT use included limited internet access, poor technical literacy, and privacy concerns. Novel findings included the discreetness of DMHTs to avoid stigma.

CONCLUSIONS

Usability, cost, accessibility, technical considerations, and alignment with therapeutic goals are important to users, although DMHT valuation varies across individuals. DMHT apps should be developed and selected with specific user needs in mind.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Health care workers (HCWs) are often impacted by distressing situations during patient care and can experience the second victim phenomenon (SVP). Addressing an adequate response, training, and increasing awareness of the SVP can increase HCWs’ well-being and ultimately improve the quality of care and patient safety.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to describe and evaluate a multimodal training organized by the European Researchers’ Network Working on Second Victims to increase knowledge and overall awareness of SVP and second victim programs.

METHODS

We implemented a multimodal training program, following an iterative approach based on a continuous quality improvement process, to enhance the methodology and materials of the training program over the duration of 2 years. We conducted web-based surveys and group interviews to evaluate the scope and design of the training, self-directed learning materials, and face-to-face activities.

RESULTS

Out of 42 accepted candidates, 38 (90%) participants attended the 2 editions of the Training School program. In the second edition, the level of participants’ satisfaction increased, particularly when adjusting the allocated time for the case studies’ discussion (P<.001). After the multimodal training, participants stated that they had a better awareness and understanding of the SVP, support interventions, and its impact on health care. The main strengths of this Training School were the interdisciplinary approach as well as the contact with multiple cultures, the diversity of learning materials, and the commitment of the trainers and organizing team.

CONCLUSIONS

BACKGROUND

It is imperative to maintain precise dosing records in repeated-dose pharmacokinetic studies involving healthy volunteers to ensure data validity. Conventional techniques, such as direct observation, self-reporting, and pill counts, often prove inadequate in terms of accuracy and practicality. Video-based monitoring systems have emerged as a promising alternative, offering enhanced accuracy and reduced burden on stakeholders. This study assesses the efficacy of an asynchronous video-based Self-Administration of the Investigational Product (SAI) monitoring system (VSMS) in ensuring accurate dosing in clinical trials with healthy volunteers in Korea.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the usefulness of an asynchronous VSMS in validating subject SAI in a repeated-dose pharmacokinetic study and to explore patterns of subject compliance with planned dosing times, suggesting possible applications for such a system.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 17,619 SAI events in repeated-dose clinical trials employing the VSMS between February 2020 and March 2023. The SAI events were classified into four categories: Verified On-time Dosing, Verified Deviated Dosing, Unverified Dosing, and Missed Dosing. Analysis methods included calculating the success rate for verified SAI events and analyzing trends in deviation between planned and actual dosing times (PADEV) over the dosing period and by push notification type. The mean PADEV for each subsequent dosing period was compared with the initial period using either a paired t-test or a Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess any differences.

RESULTS

The VSMS achieved a high success rate of 97%, with 99% of the classified as Verified On-time Dosing. An analysis of trends in dosing time deviations revealed a tendency towards delayed dosing in cohorts 1, 2, 6, 8, 12, and 14, while cohorts 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13 exhibited a tendency to dose earlier than the planned time. A comparison of the initial and subsequent dosing periods revealed no significant differences in dosing time deviations for most cohorts. However, significant differences (P < .05) were observed on only 16% (13 out of 79 days). The analysis of the impact of push notification types revealed a trend towards the highest compliance with planned dosing times when both Dosing Notifications and Dosing Reminders were provided (average PADEV: -3.5 ± 31.3 minutes).

CONCLUSIONS

The VSMS effectively enabled real-time remote monitoring and verification of SAI events in early clinical trials. Additionally, the system facilitated control over subject SAI behavior through targeted push notifications and communication. Its utility is expected to grow with more data and experience.
Creative drama implementation to develop communication and empathy skills in Psychiatric Nursing education: Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Uzunhasanoğlu Günseli , Özkan Birgül
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

One of the important problems in psychiatric nursing education is that students may experience fear and anxiety while working with psychiatric patients due to their prejudices. These fears and anxieties cause negative situations such as difficulties in providing care to individuals with mental illness, difficulty in conducting psychiatric assessments and interviews, and inability to initiate therapeutic communication with patients. It is quite possible to claim that classical education methods are not sufficient to reduce anxiety and prejudices and strengthen communication and empathy in mental health and psychiatric nursing. Therefore, new education methods are needed in the field. that will increase communication and empathy skills. Studies show that dramatic education methods for health professionals can help eliminate such deficiencies.

OBJECTIVE

This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a training program, which is designed with the creative drama method based on Travelbee's "human-to-human relationship" theory for use in teaching mental health and psychiatric nursing courses, in reducing students' anxiety and improving their empathy and communication skills.

METHODS

This study is a controlled experimental study with mixed method conducted in 26 nursing students. Socio-demographic data form, Empathic Skill Scale -B Form (ESS-B), Communication Skills Rating Scale (CSRS), State and Trait anxiety inventories (STAI I- STAI-II) were used for data collection; the scales were implemented to the experimental and control groups at the beginning of the training and 1 month after the end of the training.

RESULTS

There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups with respect to the scale scores before the training. There was a significant difference both within the experimental group (143.8 ± 20.3-192.3 ± 14.5) and between the experimental and control groups (154.6 ± 28.1-192.3 ± 14.5) regarding the ESS-B score (p <0.005). An analysis of the qualitative findings of the study revealed that the students were able to empathize with individuals with psychiatric diseases and their families (18.2%), communicate with them (10.1%), determine their needs (14.9%), and eventually develop a desire to help them (5.8%).

CONCLUSIONS

It was determined that the training program significantly increased the ESS-B scores but had no effect on the CSRS and STAI I-STAI-II scales scores. The training program implemented increased the students’ knowledge and skill levels, and was found to be effective in increasing the students’ skills of emphatizing with the psychiatry patients and their relatives, initiating and maintaining communication, and reducing prejudices and anxiety.

Using Wearable Device and Artificial Intelligence to Predict Mood Symptoms in Bipolar Disorder (Preprint)
Authors: Chien Yi-Ling
Published: August 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a highly recurrent disorder. Early detection, early intervention, and prevention of recurrent bipolar mood symptoms are key for better prognosis. In this study, we build prediction models for bipolar disorder with machine learning algorithms. This study recruited 24 participants with BD. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) were used to evaluate depressive and manic episodes respectively. Using digital biomarkers collected from wearable devices as input, six machine learning algorithms (Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Adaptive Boosting, and Extreme Gradient Boosting) were used to build predictive models. The prediction model for depressive symptoms achieved 83% accuracy, 0.89 Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC), and 0.65 F1 score on testing data. The prediction model for manic symptoms achieved 91% accuracy, 0.88 AUROC, and 0.25 F1 score on testing data. With the interpretable model Shapely Additive exPlanations (SHAP), we found that relatively high resting heart rate, low activity, and lack of sleep may predict depressive symptoms. This study demonstrated that digital biomarkers could be used to predict depressive and manic symptoms. Moreover, based on the findings from the prediction model, we may provide clinical assessment and treatment earlier to prevent a recurrence.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Chronic pain is a frequent problem in society, having an enormous impact. Tools that enhance the assessment to understand better people with pain experiences are essential to provide the care people need. In this line, a qualitative approach based in written narratives (WNs) from the people suffering chronic pain can be quite useful as supported in different studies. However, the assessment from this perspective can be time-consuming.

OBJECTIVE

This study explores the feasibility of employing LLMs to assess WNs of people with chronic pain. At the end, we want to evaluate the potential of applying this LLMs to assist clinicians in assessing patients’ pain.

METHODS

We performed an experiment based on a list of pain narratives made by people with fibromyalgia and qualitatively evaluated in Serrat et al.[17]. Focusing on pain severity and disability, we prompt GPT-4 to assign scores and scores' explanations, to these narratives. Then we quantitatively compare GPT-4 scores with experts' scores of the same narratives, employing statistical measures such as Pearson correlations, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Gwet's AC2 and Krippendorff's α. Additionally, experts specialized in chronic pain conducted a qualitative analysis of the scores' explanation to assess their accuracy and potential applicability of GPT's analysis for future pain narrative evaluations.

RESULTS

Our analysis reveals that GPT-4's performance in assessing pain narratives yielded promising results. GPT-4 was comparable in terms of agreement with experts, correlations with standardized measurements, and error rates. Moreover, experts generally deemed the ratings provided by GPT-4, as well as the scores' explanation, to be adequate.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings underline the potential of LLMs in facilitating the assessment of pain narratives, offering a novel approach to understanding and evaluating patient pain experiences. The integration of automated assessments through LLMs presents opportunities for streamlining and enhancing the evaluation process, paving the way for improved patient care and tailored interventions in the realm of chronic pain management.
