Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially hypertension, are the leading cause of premature death worldwide, with a high prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. In Indonesia, hypertension poses a major health challenge, particularly in coastal areas where diets are high in sodium. This study aims to explore the efforts made by individuals with hypertension in managing their blood pressure. A qualitative study with a case study approach was conducted in Kluet Selatan, South Aceh, in November 2024. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 12 participants, including hypertension patients, family members, health workers, and community leaders. Data were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and key themes related to hypertension management. The results revealed that patients had initiated dietary changes, increased physical activity, and practiced stress management. However, they encountered challenges such as financial limitations, ingrained eating habits, and restricted access to health facilities. Family involvement and the use of traditional remedies were found to support hypertension control. Despite these efforts, persistent social, cultural, and economic barriers hinder sustainable behavior change. Limited health education and lack of access to specialized care also affect long-term hypertension management in this setting.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2025, approximately 29% of the global population will experience hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in Aceh Province has increased by 21.5%. The Aceh Jaya District Health Office reported significant fluctuations in hypertension incidence at Krueng Sabee Community Health Center (Puskesmas), an area characterized by limited accessibility to health facilities due to varied topography, including highland, midland, and lowland regions. This study aimed to analyze the treatment-seeking patterns for hypertension and healthcare accessibility in the area, based on a population of 2,759 hypertensive patients registered at Krueng Sabee Puskesmas. Using a cross-sectional observational design, 335 respondents were selected through proportional random sampling. Data analysis was conducted using chi-square tests and spatial analysis. The results demonstrated significant associations between treatment-seeking patterns and factors such as age, hypertension status, education, occupation, income, and ease of transportation and information, while gender and distance showed no significant relationship. Among these factors, ease of transportation (OR = 12.591) was the most influential determinant of treatment-seeking behavior. Spatial analysis indicated that the distribution of health facilities was random (T = 1.212, p = 0.089). This study concludes that demographic and socioeconomic factors, along with transportation accessibility, significantly affect hypertension treatment-seeking patterns, whereas gender and distance do not. The random spatial distribution of health facilities suggests potential barriers to healthcare access in this region.

Abstract

Maternal, infant, and toddler mortality rates remain a serious public health problem in Indonesia. One effort to reduce these rates is by ensuring safe delivery services, both vaginally and through cesarean sections (CS). Although normal delivery is preferred, the trend of cesarean sections has continued to increase in recent decades. Sultan Iskandar Muda Regional Hospital, as a type C hospital in Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh, records an increase in childbirth cases every year. This study aims to analyze the determinants that influence cesarean section procedures at the hospital. This study uses an explanatory sequential design. This type of quantitative research with a cross-sectional design was conducted using patient medical records. The population is all data on mothers who gave birth by cesarean section at Sultan Iskandar Muda Regional Hospital, taken within a 3-month period, namely October - December 2024, a total of 324 mothers giving birth by cesarean section. The sampling method used the total population with a sample size of 324 respondents. While qualitative research with a phenomenological approach, conducted by interview using interview guidelines, the method of collecting informants using purposive sampling with a total of 7 informants. The results of quantitative research show that the most dominant relationship between cesarean section is prolonged labor (OR: 701.40; 95%CI: 98.02-5019.20; p value: 0.0001), the occurrence of PEB (OR=446.33; 95%CI=21.62-9214.06; p=0.0001) and term birth (OR=35.76; 95%CI=0.29-4446.35; p=0.146) at Sultan Iskandar Muda Regional Hospital, Nagan Raya Regency. The results of qualitative research show that non-medical factors that play a role in cesarean section are fear of pain and complications during normal delivery. Prolonged labor is the most dominant factor with cesarean section. Therefore, health workers at community health centers are expected to provide positive support in the form of positive affirmations to pregnant women, such as deep breathing and relaxation exercises to reduce pain. Strengthen education programs and routine pregnancy check-ups at primary health care facilities to detect risk factors early and prevent childbirth complications.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a major global public health problem that contributes significantly to morbidity, mortality, and decreased quality of life due to its long-term complications. Rural communities are particularly vulnerable to diabetes mellitus complications because of limited access to healthcare services, inadequate health education, low socioeconomic status, and insufficient preventive health behaviors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the determinants of diabetes mellitus complication prevention in rural communities. This quantitative study with a cross-sectional design in May 2025. The study population consisted of 348 respondents with a sample of 186 respondents selected using random probability sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires. The results showed that all questionnaire items were valid, with r-count values ranging from 0.412 to 0.845, exceeding the r-table value. Reliability testing was conducted using Cronbach’s Alpha, and all variables demonstrated good internal consistency, including diabetes complication prevention (0.892), knowledge (0.846), motivation (0.874), and health examination (0.831). Analyzed using logistic regression. The results showed a significant relationship between education (0.000), type of employment (0.000), income level (0.00), knowledge (0.000), attitude (0.000), self-motivation (0.000), family support (0.000), and access to health services (0.000) with efforts to prevent DM complications. In contrast, age (0.067), gender (0.291), and anxiety level (0.080) were not significantly related. The most dominant variable was self-motivation with an OR of 144.7. The conculsion is education, occupation, income, knowledge, attitude, family support, healthcare access, and especially self-motivation significantly influenced diabetes complication prevention efforts in rural communities.
