Abstract

Medication use in patients with chronic diseases during Ramadan is a crucial yet often overlooked public health challenge in the primary health care system in Indonesia. Non-compliance with medication regimens and inappropriate dosage adjustments during fasting can lead to serious complications and even medical emergencies, especially in patients with diabetes and hypertension. This community service activity aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmaceutical counseling, accompanied by leaflets, in enhancing patients’ knowledge of medication use during fasting for chronic conditions. This quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Technical Implementing Unit of Kepanjenkidul Health Center, Blitar City, involving 18 patients diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension. The study employed a knowledge questionnaire.  The design of this study aims to analyze changes in patient knowledge related to drug use during Ramadan fasting through a structured intervention approach. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in knowledge scores, from an average of 28.33 (pre-test) to 47.11 (post-test), representing a percentage increase of 37.56% (p-value = 0.000, p = < 0.05). In conclusion, pharmaceutical counseling through brochures has shown promise as a strategy for improving patients’ understanding of medication management during Ramadan. It is recommended that health centers develop specific counseling protocols and educational materials tailored to the characteristics of patients, particularly those from low-educated and pre-elderly groups. The implementation of this counseling program needs to be integrated into routine pharmaceutical services, with a focus on preparation several weeks before Ramadan to improve medication safety and therapy fulfillment for patients who choose to fast.

Abstract

Recently, health workers who have poor performance or fall below expectations have been targeted, especially health workers. One of the causes is the level of discipline of health workers, which is still lacking. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of work discipline, compensation, employee status, and organizational commitment on the performance of health workers at West Sidoarjo Regional Hospital. This study was quantitative research with independent variables consisting of work discipline, compensation, health worker status, organizational commitment, and health worker performance as the dependent variable. The population in this study was health workers at Sidoarjo Barat Regional Hospital, totaling 289 people. Through a simple random sampling technique, a sample of 168 respondents was obtained. This research was conducted from February to April 2025 at Sidoarjo Barat Regional Hospital, East Java, Indonesia. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. This study showed the influence of work discipline on the performance of health workers, obtaining a t-count value of 5.828 with a significant value of 0.004 < 0.05. On the other hand, the influence of compensation on the performance of health workers obtained a t-count value of 131.529 with a significant value of 0.000 < 0.05. However, the influence of employee status on the performance of health workers obtained a t-count value of -0.766 with a significant value of 0.445 < 0.05, and the influence of organizational commitment on the performance of health workers obtained a t-count value of 4.865 with a significant value of 0.003 < 0.05. Work discipline, compensation, employee status, and organizational commitment are combined simultaneously; they will affect the performance of health workers, but if the variables are separated one by one and then linked to the influence on the performance of health workers, then there is one variable that statistically does not affect.
