Abstract

Background: Maternal and prenatal mortality remain serious healthissues, primarily due to behaviors and a lack of understanding regardinghealthcare, particularly Antenatal Care (ANC). The irregularity inprenatal check-ups is influenced by factors such as the educational leveland knowledge of pregnant women.Objective: To analyze the relationship between knowledge and educationallevel of pregnant women with the regularity of prenatal check-ups atTigapanah Health Center.Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 77 pregnant women selectedthrough purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated andreliable questionnaire, and analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test.Results: The results from a total of 77 samples indicate a significantrelationship between knowledge and the regularity of prenatal check-ups(p = 0.002). The educational level also showed a significant relationshipwith the regularity of prenatal check-ups (p = 0.001).Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge andeducational level with the regularity of prenatal check-ups.Keywords: Knowledge, Educational Level, Pregnant Women, Regularityof Prenatal Check-Ups, ANC

Abstract

Background : Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious diseasecaused by the dengue virus transmitted through the bite of the Aedesaegypti mosquito. This disease remains a global health issue, including inIndonesia. One of the main complications of DHF is thrombocytopeniaand hemoconcentration, which can lead to serious conditions such ashypovolemic shock. Objective: The objective of this study is to determinethe correlation between platelet count and hematocrit levels in DHFpatients at Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan City, in 2022-2023.Research Method: This research is observational with a cross-sectionaldesign. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The data usedin this study are secondary data obtained from medical records, involvingthe collection of information from existing patient medical records at Dr.Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan. Data presentation includes univariateand bivariate analysis using the Spearman correlation test. Results: Theresults of this study, with a total of 280 samples, show a significantnegative correlation between platelet count and hematocrit levels in DHFpatients, both in males (rs calculated (0.619) > rs table (0.350); 0.05) andfemales (rs calculated (0.296) > rs table (0.169); 0.05). Conclusion:There is a significant negative correlation between platelet count andhematocrit levels in DHF patients hospitalized at Dr. Pirngadi GeneralHospital, Medan City

Abstract

Background : Uncontrolled diabetes causes chronic complications, bothmicroangiopathies and angiopathies. Diabetic ulcers are one of thechronic complications of diabetes, caused by macroangiopathy resulting invascular insufficiency and neuropathy. Ulcers are a concern which willlead to a level of disability that will prolong the patient's treatment period.Factors that affect the length of care in diabetic ulcer patients aremetabolic control (poor blood sugar, hba1c, albumin, hemoglobin, LDL,LDL), infection control (elevated leukocytes), vascular control (increasedd-dimer coagulation). The length of treatment of diabetic ulcer patientswill burden both the patient and the state. Research: To analyze therelationship of predictor factors (hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets, LDL,HbA1c, D-dimer, Albumin) to the length of treatment of diabetic ulcerpatients at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital Medan City. Methods: This study is ananalytic observational study with a research design using a cross-sectionalstudy. Results: Based on the results of the proportion test with the Chi-square correlation test there is a relationship between hemoglobin (p-value of 0.008), the relationship between leukocytes (p-value of 0.010), therelationship between platelets (p-value of 0.010), the relationship betweenLDL (p-value of 0.047), the relationship between HbA1C (p-value of0.046), the relationship between D-dimer (p-value of 0.025), therelationship between albumin (p-value of 0.041) with the length oftreatment of diabetic ulcer patients. In multivariate results, the factor thatmost influences the length of treatment is leukocytes. Conclusion:Hemoglobin, leukocyte, platelet, LDL, HbA1c, D-dimer, Albumin levelsare factors associated with the length of treatment of diabetic ulcerpatients at Rsud Dr. Pirngadi Medan City in 2022-2023 and leukocytesare the most influential factor.Keywords: diabetes, diabetic ulcer, length of stay
