ObjectivesWe evaluated whether implementation of lockdown orders in South Africa affected ambulatory clinic visitation in rural Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN).DesignObservational cohortSettingData were analysed from 11 primary healthcare clinics in northern KZN.ParticipantsA total of 46 523 individuals made 89 476 clinic visits during the observation period.Exposure of interestWe conducted an interrupted time series analysis to estimate changes in clinic visitation with a focus on transitions from the prelockdown to the level 5, 4 and 3 lockdown periods.Outcome measuresDaily clinic visitation at ambulatory clinics. In stratified analyses, we assessed visitation for the following subcategories: child health, perinatal care and family planning, HIV services, non-communicable diseases and by age and sex strata.ResultsWe found no change in total clinic visits/clinic/day at the time of implementation of the level 5 lockdown (change from 90.3 to 84.6 mean visits/clinic/day, 95% CI −16.5 to 3.1), or at the transitions to less stringent level 4 and 3 lockdown levels. We did detect a >50% reduction in child healthcare visits at the start of the level 5 lockdown from 11.9 to 4.7 visits/day (−7.1 visits/clinic/day, 95% CI −8.9 to 5.3), both for children aged <1 year and 1–5 years, with a gradual return to prelockdown within 3 months after the first lockdown measure. In contrast, we found no drop in clinic visitation in adults at the start of the level 5 lockdown, or related to HIV care (from 37.5 to 45.6, 8.0 visits/clinic/day, 95% CI 2.1 to 13.8).ConclusionsIn rural KZN, we identified a significant, although temporary, reduction in child healthcare visitation but general resilience of adult ambulatory care provision during the first 4 months of the lockdown. Future work should explore the impacts of the circulating epidemic on primary care provision and long-term impacts of reduced child visitation on outcomes in the region.

It is only in the very recent past that health care professionals have accepted the reality of child sexual abuse (CSA), and it has only been classified as a separate category in Index Medicus since 1987. Since then, the literature has expanded enormously and various treatment strategies have developed.

Background:. Children experience higher anxiety than adults this is due to emotional differences and mental development according to age, one of the efforts to overcome anxiety is to provide dental health education using methods, media and models of dental clinic rooms tailored to the needs of the child. In general, dental clinic rooms have white and creepy shades. The interior model of the dental clinic is made specifically to address the anxiety of the child at the time of childcare. Research Objective: produce an interior model of dental clinics as an alternative to child anxiety management Method: Research and Development (R&D) method, and model test using quasi-experimental non randomized control group pre-test and post-test design. Sampling techniques with purposive sampling, the study subjects were children who performed treatment at the dental clinic, divided into 2 groups of 20 children each, group 1. intervention of dental clinic interior models with wall wallpapers and acoustic videostimulions and 2. Media posters and dental health counseling as a control group. Data tested with Wilcoxon and Mann-whitney tests. Result: "Dental Clinic Interior Model" effective as an alternative to child anxiety management is shown with a p-value value of 0.036. There is a difference in the effectiveness of the "dental clinic interior model" with counseling and poster for child anxiety management is shown with a p-value of 0.102. The test results are not paired with a p-value of 0.036. Conclusion : "Dental Clinic Interior Model" effectively lowers children's anxiety levels
