Abstract

Laboratory examinations play an important role in supporting disease diagnosis and treatment, one of which is the measurement of uric acid levels. The accuracy of laboratory results is significantly influenced by the pre-analytical stage, including the type of blood collection tube used. Two commonly used tubes are the plain vacutainer and the clot activator vacutainer, each with different additives that may affect blood clotting time and test results. This study aimed to determine the differences in uric acid test results and clotting time using these two types of tubes. A simple experimental method with a comparative design was conducted at Klinik Pratama Rawat Jalan Mambal Medical Care from March to April 2025. The sample consisted of 15 respondents, each undergoing two blood draws using both tube types. The results showed that the average clotting time for the clot activator tube was 9.27 minutes, while for the plain tube it was 24.67 minutes. The average uric acid level measured using the clot activator tube was 5.27 mg/dL, compared to 5.14 mg/dL using the plain tube. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a significant difference in clotting time but no significant difference in uric acid levels (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that the use of clot activator vacutainer tubes accelerates the blood clotting process but does not significantly affect uric acid levels compared to plain tubes.

Abstract

Introduction: The quality of healthcare services is a crucial factor in the success of a hospital. Healthcare services are considered high-quality when they generate satisfaction for the patients served. This research aims to identify factors related to patient satisfaction with laboratory services. Methods: The research used a quantitative approach with a correlational research design and a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling. The sample size used in this research is 98 patients. The instrument used in this study is a patient satisfaction questionnaire consisting of 25 items. The questionnaire has been validated and has good reliability, with validity test values ranging from 0.477 to 0.980 and a reliability value of 0.913. Data processing in this research uses Chi-square and Rank Spearman tests. Results: The results of the study indicate that there is no relationship between age (p=0.100), gender (p=0.133), education (p=0.594), marital status (p=0.151), and occupation (p=0.155) with patient satisfaction. Conclusion: It can be concluded that age, gender, education, marital status, and occupation do not have a significant relationship with patient satisfaction with the services provided.
