Abstract

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) often shows symptoms at an advanced stage, causing delayed diagnosis and poorer prognosis. Initial symptoms, or chief complaints, are usually identified through patient history and can vary based on tumor location. This can help in establishing a diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the relationship between presenting symptoms and tumor location in CRC patients at Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital, Banda Aceh. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from medical records (2019–2022) for 163 CRC patients. Information on symptoms of patients were collected from patient files: anemia, anorexia, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and palpable abdominal mass. Tumor locations were classified as right colon, left colon, rectum, and left colon plus rectum. Bivariate analysis was used to analyze the data. Results Of the 163 patients, 98 (58%) were aged e”50 years, 82 (50.3%) were male, and 99 (60.7%) had rectal tumors. The percentage of patients presenting with rectal bleeding was significantly higher in rectal cancers (47.47%) as compared with cancers in the left colon (28.57%) and left colon and rectal (33.33%) cancers (p=0.000). The percentage of patients presenting a palpable abdominal mass was significantly higher in right colon (31.58%) compared with left colon (4.76%) and rectal cancer (1.01%) (p=0.000). ConclusionsTumor location in the right colon is associated with palpable abdominal mass, while rectal location is associated with rectal bleeding in CRC patients. Familiarity with clinical symptoms of CRC could make patients more sensitive to undergo more frequent screening for cancer.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, including the province of Aceh. The lack of data on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of primary healthcare physicians regarding stunting prevention represents a critical gap that warrants investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of public health center (PHC) physicians in addressing childhood stunting in Aceh Province. A descriptive-quantitative design was employed involving 143 physicians from 39 PHC located in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. This study was conducted between April 2022 and January 2023. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using univariate statistics. The majority of the respondents were female (89.5%). A total of 67.8% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge, 86% exhibited positive attitudes, and 82% reported engaging in stunting prevention practices aligned with standard guidelines. In conclusion, PHC physicians in the study area displayed strong readiness to support stunting prevention efforts. Continued capacity-building interventions and sustainable support systems are essential for reinforcing their strategic role in primary healthcare services.

Abstract

The Chronic Disease Management Program, or Program Pengelolaan Penyakit Kronis (Prolanis), is a disease management program designed for individuals with chronic illnesses. It aims to maintain health and improve quality of life. The success of Prolanis depends not only on patient adherence to medication but also on family involvement as the primary source of support. This study aimed to examine the relationship between family support and medication adherence among Prolanis patients at Batoh Public Health Center, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using consecutive sampling of 74 Prolanis participants. Data were collected through guided interviews. Among the participants, 33 individuals (44.5%) exhibited low medication adherence, while 41 individuals (55.5%) demonstrated high adherence. Additionally, 8 participants (10.8%) reported poor family support, whereas 66 participants (89.2%) received good family support. Data analysis using the chi-square test revealed a significant relationship (p=0.009) between family support and medication adherence. Therefore, it can be concluded that family support is significantly associated with medication adherence in Prolanis patients.  Families are the main supporters in maintaining the health of their family members, with an important role in encouraging, supporting, and supervising patients' treatment. Good support and constant encouragement and attention can increase patients' confidence, which in turn will affect their adherence to treatment.

Abstract

Diarrhea is an atypical state of the digestive system characterized by a soft or watery texture in bowel movements. Antibiotic-related diarrhea is common in the elderly due to extensive antibiotic use. Probiotics are vital microorganisms that support the intestinal flora and reduce bacterial colonization in the intestinal wall. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness, type, and dose of probiotics for diarrhea in the elderly. A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Seven records with a total of 2,087 participants were included. A quantitative analysis was carried out using Review Manager version 5 software. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the frequency of diarrhea. The results showed that using probiotics significantly reduced the risk of antibiotic-related diarrhea 0.53 times compared to the placebo administration (OR 0.53; CI 95% 0.29 to 0.98; I2 = 70%). The type of probiotics frequently given was the genera of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Streptococcus, with consumption durations varying from 3 days to a maximum of 4 weeks. The dose of probiotics ranged from a minimum of 1.0 × 10⁶ CFU to a maximum dose of 2 × 10¹⁰ CFU. To conclude, probiotic administration is more effective than placebo in reducing the risk of antibiotic-related diarrhea in the elderly.
