Authors: Goyal Akshat
Published: August 2024

In an era marked by escalating cyber threats, cybersecurity compliance has become a critical necessity for organizations to protect sensitive data and ensure operational continuity. This paper explores the multifaceted aspects of cybersecurity compliance, elucidating its significance through real-world case studies and detailed analysis of key regulatory frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and CMMC. By adhering to these standards, organizations can safeguard personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, and protected health information (PHI), thus preventing severe consequences like legal penalties, financial losses, and reputational damage. The paper underscores the comprehensive benefits of compliance, including enhanced security posture, customer trust, and operational efficiency. It provides a practical dummy compliance assessment checklist, detailing tools and strategies for implementation. The study concludes that cybersecurity compliance is not merely a legal obligation but a strategic imperative that fosters long-term success, resilience, and trust in an increasingly digital landscape.Keywords: cybersecurity compliance, data protection, regulatory frameworks, cyber threats, compliance assessment

Published: August 2024

Under critical conditions where experimental fault slip exhibits self-sustained oscillation, effects of normal stress oscillation (NSO) on fault strength and stability remain poorly understood, as do potential effects of NSO on natural and induced seismicity. In this study, we employed double direct shear testing to investigate the frictional behavior of a synthetic, slightly velocity-weakening (SVW) fault gouge (characterized by self-sustained oscillation under quasi-static shear loading), when subjected to NSO at different amplitudes (5–20% of 5 MPa) and frequencies (0.001–1 Hz). During the experiment, fault displacement and gouge layer thickness were measured. Transmitted ultrasonic waves were also employed to probe grain contact states within the gouge layer. Our results show that fault weakening and unstable slip can be triggered at NSO frequencies ranging from 0.03 to 0.1 Hz and amplitudes exceeding 5%. Interestingly, an amplified shear stress drop and weakening effect were observed when the NSO frequency fell in 0.05–0.1Hz. Analysis of transmitted ultrasonic waves in tests on the SVW gouge revealed fault dilation, accompanied by unstable slip and weakening. By extending an existing microphysical model (the "CNS” model), to account for elastic effects of NSO on gouge microstructure and grain contact state, the mechanical and wave data obtained in our experiments on the SVW gouge was reproduced, suggesting an approach for modelling fault instability under upper crustal (SVW) conditions where normal stress is perturbed by subsurface operations, such as periodic gas storage stimulation of reservoir formations.

On Similar Political Preferences: Subjective Valence and the Density Hypothesis
Authors: Harris Chris , Nestoris Amalía
Published: August 2024

Valence-based differences in information processing are an important theme in social cognition research. The density hypothesis (Unkelbach et al., 2008), for example, states that “good is more alike than bad” (Koch et al., 2016) with consequences for processing and interpretation of information. This paper investigates whether this feature replicates in subjective contexts, namely political views. In two studies (total N = 281), participants rated 30 political statements from an official voting advice application (VAA) on three political dimensions, before and after the Dutch national elections of 2023. Contrary to the density effect, both studies showed that people classified political statements they disagreed with as more similar to one another than statements they agreed with. We discuss some possibilities why our results diverge from typical density hypothesis findings.
Studies of Methods and Interventions for Judgment Accuracy: Methodological Guidelines
Authors: Wilcox John
Published: August 2024

Many areas of society require humans or machines to make probabilistic judgments about the world, but the literature shows our probabilistic judgments are often fallible. The consequences can include fatal misdiagnoses, false death sentence convictions and other severe outcomes. To address this problem, researchers have studied various methods to assign probabilities (i.e. probabilistic methods) and other interventions to improve accuracy, such as placing participants in teams or under conditions of accountability. Yet not all study designs are equally good: some can be invalid or wastefully inefficient, for instance. This article outlines various designs for the study of methods and interventions to ensure or improve accuracy, and it provides some methodological guidelines. First, it outlines and evaluates some measures of accuracy, such as calibration and Brier score accuracy, since studies of accuracy need to appropriately measure it. Then, it delineates four types of study design: a priori, simulation-based, researcher-based and training-based. Some merits and limitations of each type are listed, and these sometimes entail that empirical accuracy tests are necessary. Guidelines qua desiderata are provided for these tests, such as appropriate use-case specification, sufficiently large sample sizes and best-practice questionnaire design, where relevant. Additionally, to facilitate the efficient and valid testing of methods and interventions, some code is described to run simulation-based power analyses of required sample sizes for questions and participants. Future studies may wish to utilize, critique or revise these guidelines for the sake of advancing the study of judgment accuracy.

The age of onset in psychosis (AOP) has been of particular interest in research due to its association with the prognosis and expression of psychotic disorders. There is a lack of research concerning the influence of environmental factors such as stressful life events or exposure to traumatic events on AOP, especially among non-refugee immigrants. This study investigates the AOP among non-refugee immigrants as compared to native-born individuals and explores the associations of AOP with trauma burden. A total of 198 participants (99 non-refugee immigrants and 99 native-born individuals) diagnosed with psychotic disorders were assessed for sociodemographic, clinical, and migration data, along with trauma exposure, using validated scales. A multiple linear regression model was used to assess potential associations between AOP and these variables. Results indicate that non-refugee immigrants experience psychosis at an earlier age (25.26 vs. 28.22 years) and exhibit unique associations between AOP and factors such as age at first migration, cumulative trauma distress, stressful events, and comorbid psychiatric diagnosis. Conversely, native-born individuals show associations with sex, age, job status, and comorbid psychiatric diagnoses. These findings emphasize the significance of considering migration-related factors and trauma in understanding AOP among non-refugee immigrants, providing valuable insights for tailored preventive interventions in this population.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The Teddy Bear Hospital (TBH) is a worldwide concept of imaginative play therapy. TBH was initiated to address children’s fear andanxiety towards healthcare setting. Children will bring their teddy bears to see the “teddy doctor” and will act as the parents or guardians while observing the main aim of a clinic or hospital visit. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the IMACATS’ TBH intervention module on reducing children’s anxiety towards healthcare professionals. Methods: A pretest-posttest pre-experimental study was conducted in from May to December 2022. Participants were among primary school students in Selangor. This study was approved by Ministry of Education and informed consents were obtained from parents prior to recruitment. 45 participants were recruited with the help of teachers. There were two assessment points, one month before (preintervention) and one week after TBH event (post intervention). The same questionnaire was used at those two points. Study instruments consisted of two sections (sociodemographic background and level of anxiety towards healthcare professionals using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with 6-point Likert scale. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26.To evaluate the effectiveness of TBH, mean scores will be compared between pre and post intervention. Results & Conclusion: 45 participants were recruited with the help of teachers but only 40 completed the questionnaire. Majority were female (60%) and from low socioeconomic status (45%). All participants were Malay. The mean scores for each item of level of anxiety towards healthcare personnel range from 1.73 to 4.0 for pre-intervention and 1.05 to 3.28 for post-intervention. The total mean score of anxiety level for pre- and post-intervention also reduced from 10.13±3.22 to 7.50±2.31 respectively. Hence, we can conclude that TBH is effective in reducing anxiety level of children towards healthcare setting.

Published: August 2024

Iatrogenic trachealis muscle rupture (ITR) following elective intubation is a potentially fatal complication with a low incidence of 0.05-0.37%. Tears involving the whole length has not been reported. We report a case of a 26-year-old lady with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis who underwent total thyroidectomy for Hashimoto Thyroiditis. Intraoperatively, a complete linear trachealis muscle rupture from the carina to the first tracheal ring was diagnosed by the Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) team by tracheoscopy through the endotracheal tube (ETT). Unlike the common presentation of subcutaneous emphysema or pneumomediastinum, the surgeon noticed the ETT cuff in the left operative field. Initial repair of the lateral defect was performed immediately by opposing the sternocleidomastoid muscle to the adjacent infrahyoid muscles. However, serial computed tomography and flexible tracheoscopy showed complete tear of the trachealis muscle with presence of pneumomediastinum and dynamic changes of the injury. We illustrate a concerted effort of multidisciplinary teams of ORL, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Intensivist, Anaesthetist, Radiologist and Speech Therapist in the steps of management which involved series of tracheoscopy and imaging prior to extubation. In view of extensive trachealis muscle tear with hemodynamically stable patient, conservative management was opted for this patient as it outweighs the benefit of the surgery. We include the outpatient management until the patient’s trachea fully healed 6 months after the injury. The management is compared to the management review in the literature. This case has taught multiple new important lessons in the management of challenging tracheal rupture in a patient.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S54

Published: August 2024

The prevalence of recurrence in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is up to 40% after 18 months. Compliance to continuous medical therapy postoperatively is crucial to ensure disease resolution. CRSwNP endotype type 2 which is more common in Caucasian had shown higher recurrence. We report a case with third recurrence and the possible risk factors. A 37-year-old male smoker presented with rhinorrhea, bilateral facial pain, and anosmia for 3 years. He had two previous sinus surgeries and septoplasty. His nasal symptoms recurred a few months after both surgeries. Due to the recent pandemic, he defaulted on follow up. Rigid endoscopy at initial presentation revealed bilateral grade 2 nasal polyps which progressed to grade 4 despite medical polypectomy. Computed tomography of paranasal sinus showed pansinusitis with bilateral extensive polyposis, with presence of frontal intrasinus calcification possibly due to chronic sinusitis or fungal infection. He contracted Covid-19 category 2A infection two months before his planned surgery. The patient underwent bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery revealing extensive polyposis occupying all paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity, completely obstructing the nasal. Intraoperative blood loss from the mucosa of the sinuses amounted to 2 liters without any arterial bleeding, causing an increase in operative time due to persistent need to secure hemostasis. Histopathological findings showed benign inflammatory polyps. There were reactionary polyps seen in bilateral maxillary sinuses and ethmoids at 2 weeks post operatively. A short course of steroid and chlarythromycin were given to prevent progression of polyps. At 5 weeks post operative, he reported on return of smell, and no more nasal blockage. We discuss the risk factors and endotypes of nasal polyps in recurrence cases with the operative challenges in revision endoscopic nasal surgery. In conclusion, recurrence nasal polyps after revision surgery is multifactorial with some possible prevention.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S55
Nasal Polyposis Showing Aggressive Behaviour – Inflammatory or Inverted Papilloma?
Authors: Kamarudin Intan Kartika , Mohamad Fuzi Noor Shahira
Published: August 2024

Nasal polyposis affects 0.2-1% of the general population. Inflammatory nasal polyp rarely behaves aggressively causing expansion to the surrounding structures without evidence of invasion. We report a case of an aggressive nasal polyp which was mistaken for inverted papilloma. A 48-year-old gentleman with underlying ischemic heart disease on aspirin presented with one month history of progressive left nasal block. He started to have frequent sneezing triggered by exposure to cold and dust. He had unilateral left straw-coloured rhinorrhea which was copious, and he was treated with oral antibiotics by the emergency department. He then developed recurrent left epistaxis which stopped after Trotter’s method. Nasal endoscopy revealed left grade three nasal polyp arising from the osteometal complex (OMC) with greenish discharge and ulcerated area. Initial biopsy showed inflammatory polyps.Computed tomography showed an expansion filling left maxillary sinus extending to nasal cavity, with no medial wall and thinning of the other maxillary walls. The lesion expands to left OMC, left sphenoethmoidal and the frontoethmoidal recess, obliterating the superior and inferior turbinates with hyperdensity in the maxillary sinus. He underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery with left medial maxillectomy. Intraoperatively there were polypoidal mass grade 4 with epicentre in the left maxillary sinus causing erosion of the medial wall, extended around the nasolacrimal duct, the anterior and posterior ethmoids, the frontal recess, and sinus. There were dehiscence of the lamina papyracea and bone covering the anterior ethmoidal artery. The left superior and middle turbinate were unidentifiable. The histopathology findings of multiple pieces from the areas of operation were all reported as inflammatory polyps. His postoperative healing was uneventful with no nasal symptoms. In conclusion, nasal polyp with aggressive tendencies must be promptly managed surgically with close monitoring postoperatively to not miss any sinister pathology.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S56

Published: August 2024

Objectives: The progressivity of breast cancer is controlled by a balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. Dysregulation of apoptotic pathways leading to disorders such as cancer, autoimmune, and immunodeficiency diseases, as well as neurodegenerative disorders. Cancer cells be resistant to apoptosis by expressing an anti-apoptotic protein i.e. Apoptosis Protein Inhibitor (IAP). Survivin is an apoptotic inhibitor protein (IAP) that selectively plays a role in cancer cells, inhibits apoptosis, promotes cell division and improves angiogenesis. Detection of survivin in the blood can serve as an ideal marker for cancer diagnosis and detection. This study aims to determine the levels of survivin in breast cancer and its role as a marker of breast cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional method was conducted in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar and Hasanuddin University Academic Hospital during the period from July to August 2017. There were 72 subjects (20 control, 26 non-metastatic breast cancer and 26 metastatic breast cancer), with age range of 30-61 years. The survivin test using human survivin kit with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method (ELISA). Results: The results showed that serum surviving level in breast cancer group was significantly higher than control group (p=0,000), also higher in the metastasis group than in non-metastatic, but statistically not significant (p=0,147). Conclusion: Survivin level serum in breast cancer patients was increase.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S57
Man Surgeon Treating Women in Ibnu Sina Teaching Hospital: Issue & Challenges
Authors: B E Hasbi , D Ikram , S D Pramono
Published: August 2024

Objectives: A doctor is generally able to provide medical assistance to both male and female patients. In Islam, as long as this is for the sake of healing the patient, touching women is permissible. However, in reality, female patients who are examined by male doctors still feel awkward. In addition, patient openness is sometimes not fully to the doctor. The Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital is a public hospital that has an Islamic philosophy and most surgeons are male while there are more female patients with their own challenges. Methods: This is a qualitative study that collects patient data through interviews in 2023. The patients are all female patients with male surgeons. Interviews were conducted regarding the challenges and feelings of patients being treated and examined by male surgeons both in outpatient and inpatient care. Results: A total of 16 female patients were examined. Most patients feel that the inpatient surgeon's service is quite good and they get excellent surgical services. In addition, during preparation, surgery and post-surgery, patients receive good surgical services. However, on an outpatient basis, the doctor provides services and explains the disease in a simple and fast manner. For surgeons, serving both male and female patients is the same. However, female patients require a slightly longer interview time because the explanation must also be conveyed to the husband as the decision maker. Conclusion: The service of female patients by male surgeons is considered quite good. Most of the patients experienced no problems when examined by male surgeons. In contrast to outpatient services, patients get sufficient and concise information.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S58

Published: August 2024

Objectives: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease that is caused by an increase of blood sugar glucose, this condition have potential to increase the damage of macrovascular and microvascular. One of the main complications of Diabetes Mellitus Type II (DMT2) is diabetic foot ulcer. Hyperglycemia in T2DM is thought to trigger neuropathy which can cause diabetic foot ulcers and also associated with an increase of thromboxane A2 (vasoconstrictor and platelet aggregator agonist), thereby increasing the risk of plasma hypercoagulability. Methods: The research design at this research is analytic descriptive with a cross-sectional study approach and involves 21 patient with T2DM with diabetic foot ulcers. The level of Transient Blood Glucose (TBG) and thrombocyte was examined from venous blood. Results: This research showed that there were increased thrombocytes in 6 patients (28.57%); increased transient blood glucose in 17 patients (80.95%); and increased transient blood glucose and thrombocytes at the same time were seen in 5 patients (23.8%). Correlation between TBG to diabetic foot ulcer (p=0.236 < 0.05); the correlation between thrombocyte to diabetic foot ulcer (p=0.112 <0.05); the correlation between TBG and thrombocyte to diabetic foot ulcer (r=-0.372, p=0.097), the correlation between TBG to thrombocyte (r=-0.309, p=0.228). Conclusion: From these results we might conclude that there is no relationship between TBG to diabetic foot ulcer, no relationship between thrombocyte to diabetic foot ulcer, weak relationship between TBG and thrombocyte, and there is no relationship between high TBG to thrombocyte. But we cannot exclude other factors that might have influenced the results and requires more research for a more conclusive outcome.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S59

Published: August 2024

Objectives: Islamic Discipline of Medicine is one of the advantages in Medical faculty of Universitas Muslim Indonesia which is a special characteristic in our academic. The Islamic Discipline of Medicine is divided into three units. Unit 1 is the basic understanding of Islam, unit 2 is strengthening the professionalism of doctors with Islamic values, unit 3 is strengthening the professionalism of doctors by studying medical sciences from an Islamic perspective. This study, observed the application of unit 2, including Calm the patient, Teaching patients to increase dhikr (Morning and Evening Dhikr, Ask Allah for Forgiveness and other dhikr according to sunnah), and Motivate the patient to keep performing fardhu prayers. The importance of this being done is to create prospective Muslim doctors in accordance with the Vision and Mission of FK UMI so that they can become caliphs on Earth. Methods: This research is a descriptive study using logbook data from Profession Doctor Program Students. The sample technique used is a purpose sampling of medical students which already done their cycle in Interna department in Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar. Results: From 32 students we found data that’s: 20 student’s makes calm to the patients, 9 students do sometimes, and 3 students didn't do it. About motivating patients to do dhikr: 15 students do it, 7 students sometimes do it, 10 students don't do it and the last motivating to keep performing fardhu prayers: 8 students do it, 9 students sometimes do it, 15 students do not do it. Conclusion: In three aspects of assessment, motivating patients to calm is the best performing compared to motivating patients to do dhikr and motivating patients to keep performing fardhu prayer while there hospitalized. This situation has two probabilities the first is students feel too lazy to motivate the patients or they are hesitant to perform that.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S62

Authors: E Syahril , N A Mappaware , F E Mulyadi
Published: August 2024

Objectives: Perimenopause is a transition from the reproductive period to the menopause stage with a decrease in the number and function of oocytes. Transvaginal ultrasound is a reliable alternative method for detecting ovarian reserve. Ajwa dates contain phenolic and other flavonoid components which are considered to have the potential to improve the ovarian condition of perimenopausal women which can be assessed by increasing the number of antral follicles as measured by transvaginal ultrasound. This study aims to determine the effect of consuming ajwa dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) on the appearance of ovarian follicles using transvaginal ultrasound in perimenopausal women. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post control design carried out at RSIA Sitti Khadijah I Muhammadiyah Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, from May to September 2023. This research involved 44 perimenopausal subjects aged 42-48 years who were divided into 2 groups randomly (28 intervention groups, 16 control groups). Subjects in the intervention group consumed seven pieces of ajwa dates (60-70 grams each seven pieces) every morning before having breakfast for eight weeks. The transvaginal USG was performed twice, the first was on day three of the menstrual cycle of each subject and the second was after eight weeks of intervention. A comparison of changes in ovarian follicles was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: This study showed a significant decrease in the number of antral follicles in the intervention group and an increase in the number in the control group (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the size of the antral follicles showed a significant increase in the intervention group and a significant decrease in the size of the antral follicles in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Consuming Ajwa dates as an exogenous antioxidant can affect the number and size of antral follicles, which is an indicator of improving the condition of perimenopausal women's ovaries.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S66

Authors: I Mutmainnah , M E Rachman , S Wahyu , S Mokhtar , I D Kartika
Published: August 2024

Objective: OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) is a test that includes evaluation of knowledge, communication skills, physical examination skills, skills in interpreting and analyzing diagnostic examination results, and skills in determining diagnosis. When OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) takes place, students will demonstrate the skills they have learned and be tested by examiners at each station. This condition causes excessive anxiety in students which can interfere with students' ability to demonstrate skills. Finally, it will have an impact on exam performance and also on passing the OSCE. By knowing this, it is hoped that institutions can create a more conducive OSCE atmosphere. Purpose: To determine the relationship of OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) to the level of anxiety in Medical Students of Universitas Muslim Indonesian Year 2020. Method: This is an observational analysis with a cross-sectional study design. Dependent variable is OSCE performance and independent variable is the level of anxiety using HARS questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Chi-Square. Results: Of the 253 respondents who filled out the questionnaire, 17 respondents (6.7%) had no anxiety, 130 respondents (51.4%) had mild anxiety, 72 respondents (28.5%) had moderate anxiety, and 34 respondents (13.4%) had severe anxiety. From the results of the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) exam, 200 respondents (79.1%) passed the OSCE. While those who did not pass were 53 respondents (20.9%). Based on the Chi-square test results, the p-value (0.770) > 0,05. Conclusion: Although the research results do not show a relationship between OSCE and the level of anxiety, there were still respondents who had severe levels of anxiety who should receive attention from institutions.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue 01: 2024 Page: S68

The Impact of Natural Resources Rent and Tourism on The Environment in South Asia
Authors: C.L.K. Nawarathna
Published: August 2024

The natural resources rent and tourism play significant roles in the economy of developing South Asian countries. Having a comprehension of how the exploitation of natural resources and tourism affects the environment in terms of economic growth is crucial to attaining sustainability. This impact analysis can help understand its severity and take appropriate action. This study creatively explores the important relationship between natural resource rents, international tourist arrivals, and economic growth their impact on the ecological footprints of the four South Asian countries, over a 24-year period from 1995 to 2019. For this purpose, the slope homogeneity tests, cross-sectional dependency tests, second generation unit root tests, and Westerlund co-integration test were applied. The Driscoll-Kraay table regression model was used to test the long-run relationship between the series. In addition, the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test was used to determine the paths of causal interactions. These tests help overcome heterogeneity and cross-dependency issues in panel data analysis. The results show inverted U-shaped EKC behavior in the selected countries, so there is a negative relationship between natural resources and ecological footprint, and tourism shows a positive relationship with the ecological footprint. This implies that natural resource rents contribute to the improvement of environmental quality in selected South Asian countries.

The research reveals the practice of teaching disciplines with the English language integrated learning on the example of the Georgian-American School Progress. Globalization and socio-economic factors impact the learning of languages according to their development. Due to the perspectives of the language policy, it promotes a different approach to language selection and its study. This often befits the adaptation of the methodology of the subject content and extends the linguistic competence based on the contents of the specific subjects. There are educational institutions in our society, where the English language is learned as a foreign language(EFL), in parallel with that, there are private institutions, where the content and English language integrated learning is implemented(CLIL).
It is necessary to distinguish programs designed for ethnic minorities to learn the state language and integrate them into society, and foreign language programs. These namely English language programs help to master the content of subjects along with the English language.

Online Smoking Cessation Course was developed by UiTM to benefit the oral health professionals however it has not been evaluated yet. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of online smoking cessation module in comparison with the face-to-face method, in term of the level knowledge. This randomized controlled trial involved 185 new dental officers from four states in Peninsular Malaysia, divided into online and face-to-face (F2F) delivery groups. They were assessed using validated questionnaire, both pre- and post-intervention. The results showed that both the control (F2F) and intervention (online) groups demonstrated significant improvements in knowledge post-training. The control group's average score increased from 6.05 to 7.99, while the intervention group saw an increase from 6.22 to 8.20, with both groups showing statistically significant improvements (p< 0.001). This indicates the effectiveness of the smoking cessation course in enhancing knowledge. The study concluded that the online module is suitable for new dental officers, equipping them with knowledge and skills for smoking cessation counselling as it found that online delivery is as effective as F2F training. This suggests that online training could provide a more cost-effective and accessible method for future smoking cessation training, reaching a broader audience.
