Rhinorrhea is a predominant symptom of nasal inflammation that comes from the nose's activation glands to produce mucus. Objective: To found out the effectiveness of providing nasal irrigation educational videos on the recovery rate of rhinorrhea patients at the Ibnu Sina Gresik Hospital. Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design was applied by employing Jamovi to do univariate analysis in describing the characteristics of each variable, such as age, gender, level of education, and Rhinorrhea as the predominant disease. In addition, bivariate analysis used chi-square to test the effectiveness differentiation of giving nasal irrigation video to patients who received the video and patients who did not. Results: Univariate analysis reported that 21 patients were male (52,5%), 12 patients (47,5%) were between 20-44 years old, 16 patients (40%) experienced high school level, and 11 patients (27,5%) had vasomotor rhinitis disease. Chi-square analysis showed a significance value of 0.685, indicating no difference in the recovery rate between rhinorrhea patients receiving nasal irrigation video and those not receiving it. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the recovery of rhinorrhea outpatients who received and those who did not receive educational videos about nasal irrigation.Keywords: educational video, rhinorrhea, recovery rate

Initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Indonesia poses major challenges, with limited studies on specific ART initiation barriers and facilitators. Using a socioecological approach, we explored, through semi-structured interviews, the perspectives of 67 participants: 17 people with HIV not (yet) on ART, 30 people with HIV on treatment, and 20 HIV service providers (HSPs). Fears emerged as pervasive barriers to initiation encompassing, at the intrapersonal level, (irrational) fears of negative medical and non-medical consequences. At the health system level, fears were linked to concerns about bureaucracy and insufficient universal coverage. On a societal level, fears stemmed from prevalent myths, misinformation on social media, and the impact of COVID-19. Interestingly, fear also served as a facilitator to initiation. At the intrapersonal level, initiation was driven by a fear of deteriorating health or death due to AIDS-related conditions. At the interpersonal level, buddies and HSPs leveraged to motivate initiation. At the societal level, accurate yet fear-inducing information on social media stimulated initiation. Perspectives differed between people with HIV and HSP, with people with HIV emphasizing barriers on intrapersonal to health system levels, while HSP focused mostly on intrapersonal and interpersonal barriers, albeit recognizing the crucial role of health systems.
