    Contact time was defined as the time spent by health personnel with a patient. The study was conducted for four months in 2007 to assess the contact time and to determine the appropriate contact time as perceived by patients attending clinics of various clinical disciplines as well as Out-Patient Departments and Emergency Departments at Ministry of Health Hospitals. This study was a cross-sectional study carried out on out-patients who came to the hospitals’ clinics for treatment. Information was gathered through self-administered questionnaires, distributed at twenty-one hospitals. The respondents were selected using stratified random sampling method. Out of 21,750 questionnaires distributed, 13,463 patients responded, a response rate of 61.9%. This study shows that the average contact time increases from small hospitals (8 minutes) to bigger hospitals (15 minutes). The contact time also varies between the clinics of various disciplines. Obstetrics and Gynecology (O&G) clinics and Pediatric clinics had the longest average contact time of 20 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. The percentage of patients who were satisfied with the contact time corresponded with the type of clinics and hospitals which had the longest contact time. Thus, it is suggested that clinics and hospitals, whenever possible try their best to follow the duration of contact time as perceived appropriate by the patients.

    A diarrhoea outbreak had occurred among neonates delivered in a private hospital in Kedah from 15 August to 8 September 2002 involving 27 (55.1%) cases out of a total of 49 deliveries. Thirteen of them (48.1%) were admitted to either government or private hospitals for treatnzent while fourteen of them (51.9%) were managed at home. The main presenting feature was frequent yellowish to greenish watery stool not associated with vomitting. Investigations include active case finding, environmental inspection, sampling of stool specimens, identifying causative agents and identuying human carriers. All the diarrhoea eases (100%) were noted to have received infant formula feeding while in the private hospital. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated hom the milk scoop which was used for milk preparation. Nasal swabs of four (50%) nursing personnel were also positive for Staphylococcus aureus. One of them was positive for methycilline resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The milk and water samples showed no signuicant bacterial contamination. Stool samples of these cases were negative for Rotavirus, Vibrio sp., Salmonella sp., Shigella sp. and Entamoeba coli. This outbreak of diarrhoea was noted to have a strong association with infant formula feeding in the hospital. Breastfeeding should be continuously promoted. Baby friendly hospital initiatives in private hospital settings need to be initiated.

    Tujuan menjalankan kajian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tahap kekerapan penyelidikan yang berkaitan dengan kesihatan mental yang dijalankan di fasiliti Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Sebanyak 258 fasiliti Kementerian Kesihatan yang terlibat dalam kajian ini meliputi Hospital Mental, Hospital dengan perkhidmatan Pakar Psikiatri, Hospital tanpa perkhidmatan Pakar Psikiatri dan Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah. Borang kajiselidik telah dihantar melalui pos kepada Pengarah Hospital dan Pegawai Kesihatan Daerah dengan kadar maklumbalas 70.2%. Hasil kajian mendapati hanya 23(13.1%) fasiliti sahaja yang menjalankan kajian mengenai kesihatan mental. Sebanyak 37 kajian berkaitan kesihatan mental telah dijalankan bagi tahun 2003-2004. Penyebab utama penyelidikan kurang dijalankan disebabkan oieh peruntukan yang tidak mencukupi dan tiada kepakaran untuk menjalankan penyelidikan yang berkaitan dengan kesihatan mental. Antara penyebab lain adalah kekurangan anggota, NGO tidak berminat dan tiada latihan. Kesimpulannya menunjukkan tahap penyelidikan kesihatan mental di fasiliti Kementerian Kesihatan masih rendah.
