Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a serious medical condition that can lead to various health complications and can be significantly prevented through regular blood pressure monitoring. The monthly trend of hypertension in the five districts with the highest number of hypertension cases in Kolaka Regency prompted researchers to conduct a study on the analysis of the relationship between susceptibility and seriousness of hypertension control measures and compliance with routine health checks (blood pressure checks). Method: The type of research used is quantitative research with an analytical observation method and a Partial Least Squares (PLS) research design. The population was 570 people and the sample was 235 people using Sampling (area sampling) in the sampling. Result: The vulnerability is 0.326 (positive direction), the T statistic is 3.655, and the p-value is 0.000. The severity is -0.672 (negative direction), the T statistic is 5.189, and the p-value is 0.000. The test results show that the p-value is <0.05. Conclusion: Vulnerability and seriousness are related to hypertension control measures with compliance with routine health checks (blood pressure checks).

Abstract

Introduction: This study examines the factors associated with low tuberculosis treatment coverage in Kolaka Regency using a cross-sectional study design. The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between access to health services and quality of health services with compliance with tuberculosis treatment in Kolaka Regency. Method: This type of research is quantitative, design cross-sectional study. The study was conducted at 14 Community Health Centers in Kolaka Regency. The study population consisted of 449 confirmed tuberculosis patients, with a sample of 208 patients taken using the cluster simple random sampling method. The sample distribution was carried out according to the population proportion in each community health center. Result: The calculated X²count of 37.627 indicates a significant difference, with a correlation coefficient (ϕ) of 0.436 indicating a moderate relationship between access to health services and the calculated X²count of 9.504 indicating a significant relationship, with a correlation coefficient (ϕ) of 0.224 indicating a weak relationship between the quality of health services and medication adherence. Conclusion: Develop an effective monitoring system to monitor the quality of healthcare services and medication adherence and integrate service quality data into healthcare applications.

Introduction: Based on data on hypertension cases at the Watubangga Community Health Center, there were 1,022 cases (54%) in 2022, 1,183 cases (65%) in 2023, and 1,789 cases (91%) in 2024. Meanwhile, at the Kolaka Community Health Center in 2022, there were 4,503 cases (59%), 7,013 cases (91%) in 2022, and 9,955 cases (95%) in 2024. This study aims to analyze Differences in Hypertension Risk Factors Between Coastal and Non-Coastal Communities in Kolaka Regency. Method: This research is a comparative study. The population consisted of 325 hypertension patients registered at the Kolaka Community Health Center and Watubangga Community Health Center. Systematic random sampling was used, with 75 respondents. The statistical tests used were the chi-square test, the Mann-Whitney test, and logistic regression. Result: This study shows that there are differences in risk factors for caffeinated drinks with a P-value of 0.000 and a Mann-Whitney test of 0.000. Risk factors for salty foods with a P-value of 0.003 and a Mann-Whitney test of 0.003. Conclusion: Community health centers need to carry out promotive and preventive efforts by utilizing the Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Development Post activities as an opportunity to approach the community, especially regarding hypertension risk factors.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting in toddlers can be influenced by several factors such as food intake and infectious diseases. One of the causes of stunting is pregnant women who suffer from chronic energy deficiency (CED). This chronic energy deficiency causes stunted growth and development, so that babies can be born with a weight of less than 2500 grams and can have an impact on stunted growth in the future. The purpose of this study was to examine animal protein intake and Maternal Chronic Energy Deficiency during Pregnancy as Factors Associated with Stunting among Toddlers in North Buton Regency. Method: This study used a case-control study approach. The population was 3,654 people. The sample size was 204, consisting of 102 cases and 102 controls. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the odds ratio test and chi-square test. Result: The results of the study showed that animal protein intake had an OR of 2.129, LL value 1.217, UL 3.726, and X2 value 8.715. Pregnant women with CED had an OR of 2.496, LL value 1.403, UL 4.441, and X2 value 9.807. Conclusion: Shows that there is a relationship between animal protein intake, pregnant women with CED, and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in North Buton district.

Abstract

Introduction: Mobile NHI is a digital health service developed to facilitate access to National Health Insurance services in Indonesia. Despite its increasing adoption, continued use of the application may depend on users’ perceptions of its usefulness and ease of use. This study aimed to analyze the effects of performance expectancy and effort expectancy on behavioral intention to use the Mobile NHI (National Health Insurance) application at Bahteramas Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among Mobile NHI users at Bahteramas Hospital. The study population comprised 2,092 users, from whom 180 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on selected constructs of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. Result: Performance expectancy did not have a statistically significant effect on behavioral intention to use Mobile NHI (t < 1.96; p > 0.05). In contrast, effort expectancy had a statistically significant effect on behavioral intention to use Mobile NHI (t > 1.96; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that perceived ease of use plays a more important role than perceived performance benefits in shaping users’ intention to use Mobile NHI in this setting. Conclusion: Effort expectancy significantly influenced behavioral intention to use Mobile NHI, while performance expectancy did not. Improving usability, user support, digital literacy, and service integration may encourage sustained use.

Abstract

Introduction: National quality indicators are essential for ensuring patient safety and service quality in health laboratories. However, evidence regarding their association with customer satisfaction in provincial health laboratories remains limited. This study aimed to examine the association between national quality indicators and customer satisfaction at a provincial health laboratory in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from May 7 to June 16, 2025, involving 95 repeat customers of the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Health Laboratory. Participants were selected using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Result: National quality indicators were positively and significantly associated with customer satisfaction (β = 0.497, t = 8.406, p < 0.001). The findings indicate that better implementation of national quality indicators was associated with higher levels of customer satisfaction. Conclusion: The implementation of national quality indicators is significantly associated with customer satisfaction in the provincial health laboratory. Strengthening compliance with hand hygiene, personal protective equipment use, and patient identification procedures may contribute to improving users' perceptions of laboratory service quality and satisfaction.
