Abstract

This study aims to explore the use of antihypertensive plants in the ethnomedicine practices of the Bugis Wajo community in Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi. Hypertension is a growing global health problem that requires comprehensive management approaches,including the use of traditional medicinal plants that have long been embedded in local culture. This research employed a qualitativeapproach with an exploratory design to gain an in-depth understanding of locally rooted health practices. Sixteen female informants with hypertension were selected through purposive sampling because they were considered to have direct experience in using medicinal plants. In-depth interviews were conducted to explore their perceptions, knowledge, and experiences regarding the use of plants as an alternative therapy. Data were analyzed using the Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) method to measure how frequently each plant was mentioned and its level of popularity. The findings revealed that the Bugis Wajo community commonly uses 10 types of plants as antihypertensive remedies, with the five most frequently used being cucumber, bay leaves, celery, garlic, and bilimbi. These plants are typically prepared by boiling and consuming the decoction regularly according to individual needs. The results highlight that ethnomedicine remains an important option in managing hypertension within the community. Therefore, revitalizing local wisdom and integrating traditional medicinal plants into the development of complementary therapies should be strengthened to support more holistic and sustainable hypertension control efforts.

Abstract

The quality of inpatient services is an important indicator of hospital performance and is strongly influenced by the implementation of service policies. This study aimed to evaluate inpatient service policies in improving service quality at Prima Husada Hospital, Sengkang. A qualitative design with an evaluative approach was employed. Twelve participants were selected using purposive sampling, including hospital management, the head of the service division, inpatient ward heads, staff nurses, and patients or their family members. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews and were analyzed thematically. Data credibility was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings identified five main themes: implementation of inpatient service policies, compliance with standard operating procedures, human resources and workload, availability of facilities and infrastructure, and service quality monitoring and evaluation. Policies and standard operating procedures were available and used as service guidelines; however, policy dissemination was not conducted regularly. Staff compliance with standard operating procedures was generally good, although increased patient volume could increase workload and affect service responsiveness. Basic facilities were available, but several facilities required maintenance and improvement. Monitoring was conducted through supervision, meetings, and follow-up on patient complaints. The study concludes that policy implementation has supported service quality improvement; however, stronger policy dissemination, workforce management, facility improvement, and more structured monitoring and evaluation documentation systems are required. Strengthening management commitment and interprofessional coordination is also necessary to ensure consistent, responsive, and patient-centered policy implementation.

Abstract

This progestin injectable contraceptive is a method used to prevent pregnancy in women through intramuscular injections that are effective for three months and do not require daily use. This contraceptive contains the hormone progesterone and does not interfere with breast milk production, making it safe for breastfeeding mothers. In addition to being practical, this method also has a high level of effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. However, like any contraceptive method, the 3-month injection also has side effects that need to be well understood by users to make informed decisions. This study was conducted to describe the level of maternal knowledge regarding the side effects of the 3-month injectable contraceptive at TPMB Mutiara Kasih. The research method used was a descriptive method with a qualitative approach through direct interviews with respondents. The results of the study showed that most mothers had limited knowledge about the side effects of the 3-month injectable contraceptive, such as menstrual irregularities, weight gain, mood changes, and reactions at the injection site. From the research findings, it can be concluded that knowledge is an important aspect that can increase awareness and readiness among mothers to deal with possible side effects of the 3-month injectable contraceptive. The lack of knowledge is likely due to the limited information provided by healthcare workers or the lack of access to other reliable sources. Therefore, regular education and counseling are urgently needed to improve mothers' understanding of the use and side effects of this contraceptive method.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major health issue contributing to cardiovascular complications in Indonesia, especially among the elderly. This study aims to evaluate health policies for hypertension prevention in the work area of Puskesmas Liu, specifically within the communities around Lake Tempe. The main focus of this research is to assess community understanding, the active role of Puskesmas, and the challenges faced in the implementation of hypertension prevention policies. The research method used is a qualitative phenomenological study with data analysis based on the Colaizzi approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with seven informants who are hypertension sufferers from the area during May-June 2025. The collected data were analyzed to identify key themes related to hypertension prevention policies. The results of the study show that the community’s understanding of hypertension and low-salt diets is still limited, with many people considering hypertension as an inherited condition. Puskesmas has conducted health education through Posbindu, but still faces challenges related to limited resources and educational media. The habit of consuming high-salt foods, particularly salted fish, poses a significant barrier to adopting a healthy diet. Family support also plays a crucial role in adherence to a healthy diet. This study emphasizes the importance of improving health education and involving families in hypertension prevention, as well as the need for more inclusive and community-based policies to effectively support hypertension prevention efforts.

Abstract

Patient perception of healthcare costs in hospitals is a key factor influencing patient satisfaction. Hospitals that can provide clear cost information and quality medical services are more likely to gain patients' trust, which in turn contributes to higher patient satisfaction with the costs they incur. This study aims to explore the general patient perception of healthcare costs at RS Hikmah Citra Medika Sengkang. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 inpatients during March-April 2025. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data analysis was conducted using the Colaizzi method. The results show that cost transparency, the quality of healthcare services, and comfort during treatment are the main factors influencing patient perceptions of the costs they pay. Patients feel more comfortable when they receive transparent cost information before treatment, which allows them to financially prepare. Additionally, the quality of medical services provided by healthcare professionals and hospital facilities also plays a significant role in shaping positive perceptions of costs. The safety and comfort during treatment, related to the hospital's facilities and atmosphere, also affect patient satisfaction with the costs incurred. This study concludes that cost transparency and high-quality service are crucial for building patient trust and improving satisfaction with the incurred healthcare costs. Hospitals need to continue enhancing information transparency and service quality to maintain positive patient perceptions of healthcare costs.

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally, with hypertension being the most dominant risk factor. Beyond clinical factors, stroke prevention behavior is also influenced by socio-cultural factors. Bugis cultural values such as macca, warani, malempu, and malabo have the potential to shape health behavior; however, empirical evidence examining the relationship between cultural values and stroke prevention behavior among hypertensive patients remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between cultural values and stroke prevention behavior among patients with hypertension. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in August 2025 in Nepo Village, Tanasitolo District, Wajo Regency. The sample consisted of 30 hypertensive patients selected using purposive sampling. The independent variable was cultural values, while the dependent variable was stroke prevention behavior. Data were collected using a locally based cultural values questionnaire and a stroke prevention behavior questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with a significance level of 0.05. Most respondents had moderate cultural values (46.7%) and moderate stroke prevention behavior (43.3%). Cross-tabulation showed that respondents with high cultural values were predominantly characterized by good stroke prevention behavior (23.3%), while those with low cultural values tended to demonstrate poor prevention behavior (13.3%). Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between cultural values and stroke prevention behavior (p = 0.012). Cultural values were significantly associated with stroke prevention behavior among hypertensive patients. Higher cultural values were linked to better stroke prevention behavior. Integrating local cultural values into health promotion interventions has the potential to improve the effectiveness of stroke prevention in a contextual and sustainable manner.
