Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. This study aimed to analyze the effect of physical exercise on blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 DM at the Medan Johor Public Health Center. This analytical observational study utilized a case-control design and involved 34 respondents, divided into a case group (with uncontrolled blood glucose levels) and a control group (with controlled blood glucose levels). Data on physical activity, including frequency, duration, and intensity of exercise, were obtained through interviews using the GPAQ questionnaire, while blood glucose level data were sourced from medical records. The results showed a significant relationship between physical activity (p=0.028), frequency of physical exercise (p=0.006), duration of physical exercise (p=0.015), and intensity of physical exercise (p=0.034) with blood glucose levels. Physical exercise performed at least three times a week, for a minimum duration of 30 minutes per session, and at an appropriate intensity proved effective in controlling blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 DM. This study emphasizes the importance of incorporating physical exercise into the management plan for Type 2 DM.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of healthcare service quality on patient satisfaction among hypertensive outpatients at Muyang Kute Regional General Hospital. Employing a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 79 patients using a questionnaire assessing five service quality dimensions (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance) and overall patient satisfaction. Bivariate analysis, utilizing the chi-square test, was conducted to examine relationships between service quality dimensions and patient satisfaction. Results indicated generally positive perceptions of service quality dimensions, with tangibles, reliability, and assurance rated highly. However, empathy and responsiveness showed higher dissatisfaction rates. Notably, only assurance demonstrated a statistically significant association with patient satisfaction (p=0.002), where patients perceiving "Good" assurance were more likely to report satisfaction. Overall patient satisfaction was mixed, with 54.43% reporting satisfaction and 45.57% reporting dissatisfaction. The study highlights the critical role of staff competence and patient confidence (assurance) in driving satisfaction. Recommendations include targeted interventions to improve empathy and responsiveness, continuous monitoring of all service quality dimensions, and further investigation into potential underlying factors affecting overall satisfaction.

Abstract

Humanity and other living organisms coexist within the environment. Rivers, as essential components of the environment, provide critical benefits for human survival, including supplying water for daily use, supporting fisheries, and facilitating water transportation. However, human activities frequently exert negative impacts on river ecosystems, such as the disposal of solid and industrial waste. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing community waste disposal practices in the Deli River, Petisah Village, in 2023. Employing a quantitative, descriptive-analytical cross-sectional survey design, the study population comprised 250 residents residing along the Deli River, from which a sample of 154 participants was selected through simple random sampling. Bivariate analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test. The findings demonstrate significant associations between waste disposal behavior and knowledge (p=0.004), attitude (p=0.004), practices (p<0.001), and infrastructure (p=0.008). Furthermore, logistic regression analysis identified infrastructure as the strongest predictor of waste disposal behavior, indicating that inadequate infrastructure increases the likelihood of respondents disposing of waste into the river.

Abstract

Nutritional status in children under five remains a critical public health issue in Indonesia, characterized by high rates of stunting (21.6%) and wasting (7.9% in North Sumatra). Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first six months is vital for optimal growth, but compliance is low. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of nutritional status, focusing on the differences between infants aged 0-6 months receiving exclusive breastfeeding and those receiving breastfeeding plus early complementary feeding (MPASI). This research employed a comparative analytical design with a total sampling of 40 mothers and their infants (0-6 months) in Kutambaru Village, Munte Subdistrict. The independent variables were breastfeeding status (exclusive vs. non-exclusive) and complementary feeding status. The dependent variable was infant nutritional status (weight-for-length). Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results demonstrated a statistically significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and infant nutritional status (p = 0.019). Infants who received EBF were significantly more likely to have an optimal nutritional status. Complementary feeding also showed a significant association (p = 0.033). In conclusion, exclusive breastfeeding is the dominant factor significantly associated with optimal nutritional status in infants 0-6 months. Strengthening interventions to promote EBF is critical to prevent malnutrition.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) poses a grave threat to those afflicted, contributing significantly to the global mortality rate. Caused by the infectious bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB primarily targets the lungs, with Indonesia ranking second in its prevalence worldwide. This study aims to scrutinize factors associated with TB treatment discontinuation within the Subulussalam City Health Service Work Area in 2023, employing a quantitative, cross-sectional approach. A sample of 203 TB patients under treatment within the area was subjected to logistic regression and multiple logistic regression analyses. Findings revealed a correlation between treatment discontinuation and factors such as inadequate knowledge (p = 0.00; OR = 27.81) and adverse drug reactions (p = 0.02; OR = 13.05). Recommendations include enhancing patient education on TB risks to bolster awareness and deter treatment abandonment, instituting recognition programs within health centers to incentivize treatment completion, and acknowledging the proactive role of healthcare personnel in facilitating patient adherence.

Abstract

In the digital era, the integration of quality and routine data is key to transforming healthcare services. The utilization of information technology continues to grow, spanning from planning to providing individual and community health data. One of the innovations implemented is the transition from manual medical records to electronic medical records (RME), which despite its many benefits, still faces various challenges. RSU Royal Prima Medan started this transition process at the end of 2023 until early 2024, with the main obstacles being infrastructure limitations, suboptimal system integration, and adaptation difficulties that impacted the efficiency of patient services.  This study aims to analyze the efficiency of the RME transition in improving patient service speed at RSU Royal Prima Medan. The method used was descriptive qualitative with an exploratory approach, involving in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results showed that the implementation of RME has achieved about 80% effectiveness in improving service efficiency. The data retrieval process became 50% faster than the manual system, while the RME utilization rate reached 85%. Patient waiting time was also reduced by an average of 15 minutes per consultation. Despite this, obstacles such as network instability and technical issues were still encountered. In conclusion, the transition to RME at RSU Royal Prima Medan has improved service efficiency and patient data management. However, continuous system development, more comprehensive integration, as well as infrastructure improvements are needed to optimize the benefits of RME in improving healthcare quality

Abstract

Stunting is one of Indonesia's most prevalent nutritional problems, with a prevalence rate of 24.4%. In Samosir Regency, the prevalence of stunting remains relatively high at 28.4%. Community health centers are crucial in the community's efforts to accelerate stunting reduction. This study aimed to explore the barriers a community health center faces in implementing the stunting reduction acceleration program. Method: Using a qualitative case study design, the study was conducted at Buhit community health center in Samosir Regency from August to December 2022. The key informants for this study included the community health center leader, head of administration, nutritionist, and midwife. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document review. The results identified several barriers to the implementation of the Accelerated Stunting Reduction Programme. These barriers encompassed limited staff resources and concurrent positions, the availability and suitability of anthropometric tools, a lack of coordination in planning activities between management and program officers, families' fear of the negative stigma associated with stunting, and low levels of community participation. Farmers who do not comply with safe behavior will have a higher health risk because of the toxicity of pesticides that can be directly inhaled and enter through the pores of the farmers' skin
