Abstract

Background: Low utilization of ultrasonography (USG) examinations among pregnant women, at only 16.1% during the first antenatal care (ANC) visit and 18.7% during the last ANC visit, may hinder the early detection of pregnancy complications and contribute to the high infant mortality rate (IMR), which reached 34 cases in 2024 in Tulang Bawang Regency. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of USG examination utilization among pregnant women in Tulang Bawang Regency in 2025. Methods: This quantitative analytic study employed a cross-sectional design. From a population of 2,694 pregnant women in Tulang Bawang Regency in 2025, a sample of 267 respondents was selected using stratified random sampling from six primary health centers. Data were collected using questionnaires and secondary data sources. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (Chi-square), and multivariate analyses using multiple logistic regression. Results: Of the 267 respondents, 141 (52.8%) adhered to ultrasound examinations. Knowledge (p=0.000), attitude (p=0.008), age (p=0.000), service availability (p=0.008), accessibility (p=0.000), and perception (p=0.013) were significantly associated with ultrasound examination adherence, whereas pregnancy risk status was not significantly associated (p=0.643). Age was identified as the dominant factor influencing ultrasound examination adherence (p=0.001; OR=3.660; 95% CI: 1.751–7.650). Conclusions: Ultrasound utilization among pregnant women was primarily influenced by age, accessibility, and knowledge. To improve ultrasound utilization as an innovation to strengthen ANC services, we recommend prioritizing screening among pregnant women aged <20 and >35 years, providing structured ultrasound education, implementing written scheduling systems, tiered reminders, and active follow-up for missed appointments. These efforts should be supported by flexible service hours and improved accessibility through scheduled transportation and mobile ultrasound services, subject to resource availability.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic condition that requires routine and continuous hemodialysis therapy. Patient adherence to hemodialysis at RSUD Menggala is crucial to prevent complications and improve quality of life. Various factors are suspected to influence adherence, including environmental factors, educational instruments/media, and individual factors. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental, instrument, and individual factors and adherence to hemodialysis therapy among CKD patients at RSUD Menggala in 2025. Methods: This study used a quantitative analytical cross-sectional design to examine the relationship between healthcare professionals’ educational interventions and adherence to hemodialysis therapy among stage 5 CKD patients at RSUD Menggala in 2025. Data were collected from 84 respondents using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests with SPSS version 26 to identify factors associated with adherence to hemodialysis therapy. Results: The majority of respondents showed moderate to high adherence to hemodialysis therapy. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between environmental factors (p=0.004), educational instruments (p=0.003), and individual factors (p<0.001) with adherence. Patients with supportive environments, adequate educational media, and positive individual characteristics were more likely to adhere to therapy. Multivariate analysis showed that individual factors were the most dominant determinant (p=0.001; OR=12.308), indicating that patients with favorable individual factors had more than twelve times higher likelihood of adherence compared to those with unfavorable factors. Conclusion: Individual factors play the most significant role in improving adherence to hemodialysis therapy among CKD patients at RSUD Menggala.

Abstract

Background: The Chronic Disease Management Program is an integrated proactive health service involving patients, health facilities, and BPJS Kesehatan to improve care for individuals with chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to analyze factors influencing the utilization of Prolanis among T2DM patients in West Pesisir Regency. Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design with 149 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected between February and March 2025 and analyzed using Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Family support (p = 0.000), illness perception (p = 0.000), perceived needs (p = 0.014), cross-sector support (p = 0.017), and health facility availability (p = 0.004) were significantly associated with Prolanis utilization. Among these, family support was the most dominant factor (OR = 10.26), indicating that patients with low family support were over 10 times more likely to show low program utilization compared to those with strong family support. Conclusion: Family support is the key determinant of Prolanis utilization among T2DM patients. Strengthening family involvement may enhance participation in chronic disease management programs.
