Background: The accuracy of clinical coding is very important in the proper financing of health care centers. During January to February 2019, only 35 out of 60 obstetrical cases that were well coded (58%) in Naili DBS Hospital and this miscoding would led to a big financial loss. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of training on coding accuracy.Methods: This study was conducted during April 2019 in Naili DBS Hospital using quasi experimental method, with one group pretest and post-test design. All 11 participants were given a pretest consisted of 10 long cases (maximum score=38) and the training was conducted based on the identified needs from the preliminary audit. They were then given a post-test to see the effect of the training.Results: The mean score of pretest was 10.7 and the mean score of post-test was 19.7. The individual scores were normalized and then analyzed using SPSS with paired sample T-test. Based on statistical analysis, p<0.005 meaning the traning is statistically significant on improving the coding accuracy in obstetrical diagnosis.Conclusions: The training has significantly improved the score of well coded obstetrical diagnosis, even though the participants have not reached the maximum score. Furthermore, our study suggests that it is important to analyze the coders’ performance months after the training by conducting a coding audit.

By adopting a Dick and Carey model, thepurpose of this study was to develop a multimedia humour model for the teaching of Malay narrative writing and test the effectiveness of the model in the classroom. This study was conducted to a group of 29 students at SekolahMenengahKebangsaan Syed Mashor, Batang Kali, Selangor. The research design was quasi experimental involving single group pre-test and post-test design. Following this design, participants were selected, pre-tested, and exposed to the multimedia video (animation) and then post-tested. The instrument used in this research was the writing test on Malay narrative focusing on cleanliness. Descriptive quantitative analysis was employed on the findings (frequency, percentage and mean) followed by a comparison of pre-test and post-test. The findings show that there were significant differences between the pre and post-test. In the post-test, the mean score for the participants after receiving the intervention were higher than the mean scores for the pre-test. The findings also reveal that the use of visual images (animation), sound and graphic through multimedia video for teaching Malay narrative writing help the students to improve their vocabularies and writing skills. Thus, teachers may also adopt this type of learning approach to attract student’s attention towards the subject and hence, improve their academic performance of a particular subject.

The use of tobacco products, tea, coffee, certain mouthwashes and pigments in the food causes the formation of stain. The research aimed to determine the effect of limestone powder to the cleaning of extrinsic tooth staining (stain). This study used a quasi-experimental design with the design of pre-test - Post-test Design (Campbell and Stanley, 1966, cit. Arikunto, 2006), the research done by using the first observation (pre-test) before the intervention. Furthermore, the post-test after the intervention to determine changes. Variables that influence of limestone powder. The variable affected is extrinsic tooth discoloration (stain). The results showed that smokers after intervention stain brush his teeth with limestone powder showed that the t value of 5.77 with a probability of 0.001. This probability is below 0.05 (significant p <0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected, which means there are differences between the mean scores before the intervention brushing teeth stain with limestone powder on one observation after intervention by brushing your teeth with limestone powder on observation 2 and third, the intervention After brushing teeth with limestone powder stain mean score decreased from 8.50 becomes 7.23 and 6.53. Conclusion limestone Powder effectively lower extrinsic tooth staining (stain) when done diligently and carefully.

This study discussed about how tongue twister effective  in boosting students’ speaking ability at the tenth graders of MAN 1 OKU. To collect data, the researcher used test in the form of recording video as an instrument. The methodology of this research was experimental research and the researcher used Quasi experimental method. From the population, the researcher took class X.IPA3 and X.IPS 1 as samples of this research, where X.IPA 3 was as the experimental class, and X.IPS 1 as the control class. The total number of sample was 72. The samples were taken by using simple random sampling. The students’ mean score in pretest in control class was 4.66 while the pretest in experimental class was 6.49. The mean score in posttest in control class was 4.94 and the mean score of posttest in experimental class was 7.36. Based on the distribution of students’ score in pre-test and post-test Tongue Twister strategy was effective in boosting students’ speaking ability to the tenth Graders of MAN1 OKU because the students’ score in post-test was better than pre-test both in control class and experimental class, and the significant difference is seen in experimental class that is taught by tongue twister. The minimum scores in pre-test were 1.67 in each class, and  and the maximum score were 6.94 and 8.33, while the minimum scores in post-test were 1.67 and 5, while the maximum score was 7.5 and 9.17. If the value of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0,000 more than the Significance level (a=0,05) it means that it was significantly effective to use Tongue Twister strategy in boosting students’ speaking ability at the tenth graders of MAN 1 OKU

Abstract Aims Children who experience pain and anxiety while undergoing interventions or treatments during hospitalization at a young age can experience negative feelings which can influence how they experience health care in the future. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the protocol of using a tablet computer as a source of distraction from pain and fear when children undergo needle insertion in a port catheter (port-a-cath®). Methods The study uses a quasi-experimental pretest-post test design with a sample of 14 children, 20 months to 16 years of age, 9 boys and 5 girls. Pain and fear were first evaluated without the distraction of a tablet computer. The second time pain and fear were evaluated while a tablet computer was used for distraction. The children evaluated their pain and fear with a 10 cm Numeric Rating Scale (NRS/VAS) and six faces scales in all cases except three. In those three cases the mothers evaluated the children’s pain and fear with the NRS, the Faces scale, or the Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale (FLACC). Results The Shapiro-Wilk test showed a significant distribu-tion (p < 0.05) of pain and fear but most subjects did not feel any fear before the intervention. The mean score of pain was 2.90 (sd = 3.67) and the mean score for fear was 3.67 (sd = 3.76). No significant difference was found between pain and the fear prior to the intervention (p = 0.09). Children who felt fear prior to the intervention (n = 5) experienced significantly lower pain when a tablet computer was used (p<0.05). No difference was found between pain and fear by age or gender. No difference in pain was found by the type of distraction (p = 0.20). All subjects where highly experienced with needle insertions and some of them had developed their own approach to deal with the intervention. Conclusions More extensive research is needed in this area.

The samples were taken of the research were consisted of 43 students from two classes taken from the population. The result of the data analysis shows that the students’ speaking mastery improved significantly. It was showed by the mean score of pre-test was 49.34 and the post-test was 71.304. It shows that the use of role play method can improve the students’ speaking ability of the tenth year students of SMA Negeri 3 Parepare significantly. Besides the different score of pre-test and post-test, the mean score of the students in post-test was 71.304 is higher than the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (70) in SMA Negeri 3 Parepare. After analyzing the data by using the test formula, the result of t-test value in post-test was 1.868 and t-table value was 1.684. It means that the t-test value (1.868) was higher than t-table value (1.684). Those indicate that H1 was accepted and H0was rejected and the students who were taught through role play method are better than the students who were taught through conventional method.This research highlights the speaking ability of the students which categorized in tenth year students of SMA Negeri 3 Parepare .
