Because of stigmatization and the fear of being labelled as someone who carries an infectious disease many at risk populations may not seek care until symptoms are unmanageable or may not seek care at all. Resilience is the capacity to cope up with stress and adversity. It is universally regarded as a positive and valued trait. Purpose of resilience is development of initiative, self-regulation and attachment, which are protective factors that can offset or moderate the effects of stress and adversity and allow to everyone to thrive of transformed by adversity. Specially, in situations of corona virus is important to nurturing resilience in individual, family and community. Methodology: In this short review, accordingly, the electronic databases, including PubMed, Medline, Elsevier, and Science Direct, Embase, PsycINFO, Google scholar, Scopus were reviewed for relevant studies (with key words )that have conducted since 2014. Results: The current review paper was carried out to indicate that COVID-19 has negative psychological problems with situational difficulties like patient isolation; contact tracing, quarantine, lockdown and infection control methods should also address the risk of stigmatization among populations and the negative effects which could occur. A review of the studies performed in other parts of the world showed that COVID-19 has caused several psychological impacts, including increased anxiety. Conclusions: By an increase in the prevalence rate of COVID-19 and its resulted movement restrictions, the level of anxiety increases, as well; therefore, there is the need to public awareness of the disease programmes and providing positive psychological intervention programs for controlling stress and reduce anxiety in general population as well as addressing stigma and discrimination targeted toward individuals affected by COVID-19 and groups at higher risks is a priority for public health and health care providers. Individual resilience is a person's ability to positively cope after failures, setbacks, and losses. Developing resilience is a personal journey. Individuals do not react the same way to traumatic or stressful life events. An approach to building resilience that works for one person might not work for another.

Data were analyzed including stages, reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions, testing the validity of using triangulation of data sources. The results of the study, the number of cadres in each Posbindu between 2-5 people and has not been supported by SK (Certificate) so that it is inadequate, found the limitations of Posbindu (Integrated Development Post) KIT and inspection sticks, there are no KIE (Communication, Information, and Health Education) modules and media and does not involve the village government in Posbindu funding. Planning is done every year but is not problem-oriented, Posbindu is not yet supported by an organizational structure, the implementation of activities is still carried out by the PTM Puskesmas program holder and there are stages that are not carried out optimally, especially tables 2 and 5. Monitoring through monitoring is not routine and only focuses on Public health center. Service coverage is 6.9% and far from the SPM (Minimum Service Standards) target, and no coaching steps have been made to improve. Improvements are needed in the system dimension by involving the village government to maximize the implementation of Posbindu.

Air Traffic Controller (ATC) is a service provider that regulates traffic in the air, especially airplanes to prevent planes from getting too close to each other and collisions. Increasingly crowded flight schedules the level of responsibility and workload of Air Traffic Controller (ATC) operators is increasingly numerous and this has an impact on the mental burden and fatigue felt by air traffic controller officers. This study aims to determine the sex relations, work shifts, Mass Index Body (BMI), and workload on work fatigue at the Air Traffic Controller operator at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 65 people. Data were collected by conducting interviews. The instrument used was a data analysis questionnaire using the Continuity Correction test. The results of this study indicate that of the 65 respondents there was no significant relationship between sex and work fatigue (p = 1,000), there was a relationship between work shifts and work fatigue (p = 0.015), there was no relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) with fatigue (p = 0.064), and there is a relationship between workload and work fatigue (p = 0.021). The results of this study concluded that there was no relationship between sex and body mass index on fatigue and there was a relationship between work shifts and workloads at the Air Traffic Controller operator at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar. It is expected that the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) operator should regulate and maintain the diet and intake of nutrients consumed, utilizing good rest time in between the controls so as to prevent the occurrence of errors felt by the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) operator.

Cervical cancer constitutes global health issue. Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine (HPV) has been associated with its prevention. Despite importance of the vaccine, studies have shown that diverse factors could impede its uptake. Therefore, this study assessed these perceived psychosocial barriers, as well as the uptake of HPV among Female Civil Servants in Delta State, Nigeria. Methods: The design was descriptive and cross-sectional. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 435 women, who consented. A structured questionnaire of 0.7 reliability coefficient was used to collect data at the Secretariat. Data were analyzed using frequency counts and the results were presented in tables and charts. Result: Mean age of participants was 326.7 years. Many, (44.4%) of them had adequate knowledge of the HPV and most (94.7%), had not vaccinated their female adolescents. Cost (54.5%) and inaccessibility (51.3%) were projected as deterring factors. Psychosocial factors isolated were taboo and On the whole, 68.0% were enthusiastic about compliance with vaccination, later. Conclusion: Human Papilloma Vaccine is the primary prevention tool that could reduce the incidence of cervical cancer gobally. Subsidizing its cost by stakeholders and inclusion of National Immunization Programme could improve uptake. In addition, creating awareness about the vaccine, could improve knowledge, therefore ensuring that perceived barriers do not deter people from utilizing services. Active counselling by nurses / midwives will reduce fears, correct misconception and enhance uptake. Ultimately, there will be reduction in the global burden of cervical cancer.
