In the culture of sida contained values that are full of meaning. In this case series, we discuss two cases of neurotic disorders that have a Sida cultural background in the Manggarai tribe. It is very important to identify the influence of culture on mental disorders so that they can provide a more comprehensive treatment. The first patient thought about the anxiety that was felt at times. The second patient felt anxious thinking about the headache. He felt that there was something in his head like a brain tumor. It was found that people with mental disorders in the United States had a worse prognosis than those in India. This is because in the United States, people with mental disorders experience a heavier stigma. Culture have multidimensional effect on mental health.

This research interview was conducted with nine reporting informants, including eight officers from the health center section of the health care unit, and one employee from the Gowa District Health Office. Based on input, the number of human resources is sufficient and the necessary infrastructure facilities are laptops and networks. However, the availability of laptops is not provided by the Public Health Center. The process consists of officers already understanding the reporting system but training is not provided, and officers should have dual duties that hampered their main tasks in recording and reporting. Output includes late report submission and completeness. There is still a lack of reporting systems in the health care unit. The Gowa District Health Office should pay attention to some shortages in reporting system from input to output. It is better to provide a policy to solve those problems.

Journal ID : AMJ-04-01-2023-11002; Author : Muzakkir Amir, Irawaty Djaharuddin, Andriany Qanitha, La Ode Muhammadin Matahana, Andi Tiara Salengke Adam,
Abstract : The use of AR media helps lecturers and students in carrying out learning activities. Its use in medical education is also considered a novel concept in everyday learning. Congenital heart disease fits well in this dynamic rendered 3D world of virtual reality. This research is a quasi-experimental research design with a control group design. In the intervention group, medical students who are studying cardiovascular anatomy and congenital heart disease and will be given access to a 3D anatomy virtual reality learning tool and will allow these students to incorporate it in their everyday studies aside from routine conventional classroom sessions with their lecturers. An online survey is then disseminated to medical students to evaluate this learning method after completing the cardiovascular learning block. Virtual reality (VR) technology has been around for a while, particularly in the area of military training and simulators. But the question of whether it serves a purpose other than amusement and whether it is practical for use in education still stands. The advantage to using it as a learning method is that it is able to provide excellent anatomical information in a feasible way, and in a circumstance where traditional anatomy cadavers are scarce or inaccessible.
