Background: Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are infections that often occur in hospitals with Staphylococcus aureus as the primary cause. Staphylococcus aureus is usually found on nurses' hands and easily transferred by contact. Cell phones can be a convenient medium for transmitting bacteria. Accordingly, hand washing is one of the effective ways to prevent the transmission of Staphylococcus aureus. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between hand hygiene behavior and the colonization of Staphylococcus aureus on cell phones of nurses in the intensive care unit of the academic hospital. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted from December 2019 to January 2020. The observations of hand hygiene behaviors were performed on 37 nurses selected using total sampling. Colonization of bacteria on each nurses' cell phone was calculated by swabbing the cell phones' surface. Colony counting was done using the...

Acute myocardial infarction; Relapse; Readmission; Telehealth. Telehealth is an endeavor to prevent readmission in patients with Acute Miocard Infarct (AMI). The objective of this study was to identify the effect of Telehealth as a reoccurrence and readmission strategy for a patient with AMI. This study was a literature review with article searches in some databases including ScienceDirect, Sage Journals, Ebsco, Scopus, and Cochrane for the last ten years. The selected articles were limited to those in English with free full text. Studies that were involving adult AMI in the adult patient and obtaining intervention or monitoring via phone or Telehealth were included. The result from reviewed articles showed that Telehealth can be used as an alternative intervention to prevent readmission in patients with AMI. Various methods which are explained in the literature can be implemented as a strategy to prevent reoccurrence or readmission for the patient with AMI.

Telehealth merupakan upaya pencegahan terjadinya readmisi pada pasien dengan akut miokardial infark (AMI) yang menjadi isu terkini. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh telehealth terhadap strategi pencegahan kekambuhan dan readmisi pada pasien dengan AMI. Penelitian ini berupa literatur review dengan pencarian artikel dibeberapa database seperti Sciencedirect, Sage Journals, EBSCO, Scopus dan Cochrane dengan kriteria inklusi adalah acute myocardial infarction pada orang dewasa, yang mendapatkan intervensi atau monitoring via telepon, atau telehealth, jurnal berbahasa inggris dan batasan waktu kurang dari 10 tahun, serta free full text. Hasil dari semua artikel menyatakan bahwa intervensi Telehealth dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif intervensi untuk mencegah readmisi pada pasien dengan AMI. Upaya yang terdapat dalam literatur dapat digunakan sebagai strategi dalam mencegah kekambuhan atau readmisi pada pasien dengan AMI.
