Summary
This study explored challenges faced by non-working mothers. Findings highlight internal and external factors impacting family well-being and awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Public Health
- Family Studies
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges for families, particularly mothers.
- Understanding the specific difficulties faced by non-working mothers is crucial for targeted support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To qualitatively explore the experiences of non-working mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To identify internal and external factors influencing family dynamics and awareness.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research design.
- Data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and field notes.
- Thematic analysis of transcribed data, including data reduction and triangulation.
Main Results:
- Key themes identified include inner family conflicts, the mother as a central figure, increased family burdens, and lack of awareness.
- Internal causes for challenges involved income fluctuations.
- External causes included inconsistent regulation implementation, uncertain information validity, lack of role models, and cultural restrictions.
Conclusions:
- Strengthening multisectoral coordination is essential.
- Continuous efforts are needed to foster a culture of mask-wearing awareness during the COVID-19 period.

01:10PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing
1.2K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

27.9K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

01:26Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
12.7K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

01:22PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning
1.3K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...
