Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant health problem in Indonesia due to its contagious nature. Having an adequate understanding of TB is very important, especially for students in health education institutions, considering their potential role as pioneers in efforts to prevent and control this disease. This study was conducted to examine the level of knowledge of students regarding pulmonary tuberculosis at the Medistra Health Institute, Lubuk Pakam. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 students were used as research samples selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using a closed questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability tests. The data were then analyzed descriptively with a frequency distribution approach. The results showed that the majority of students, namely 65%, had a good level of knowledge about pulmonary TB. Meanwhile, 25% of respondents had knowledge in the sufficient category, and 10% were classified as lacking. The knowledge that was most widely mastered included the symptoms and transmission of TB, while aspects of prevention and treatment still need to be improved. The conclusion of this study shows that students at the Medistra Health Institute, Lubuk Pakam, generally have good knowledge regarding pulmonary TB. However, increased education on certain aspects is still needed. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for institutions in designing more comprehensive health promotion and education programs related to tuberculosis.

Abstract

Pulmonary Tuberculosis is a contagious infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and attacks the lungs. Pulmonary TB is spread through phlegm droplets that come out when the sufferer coughs, sneezes, or talks. This disease is characterized by the main symptoms of a cough with phlegm that lasts for more than two weeks, sometimes accompanied by blood, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and weakness. Pulmonary TB is a serious public health problem because of its high transmission rate and can cause serious complications if not treated properly. Prevention and control of Pulmonary TB can be done through early detection, regular and complete treatment, and the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors. Educational activities on healthy living behavior for the prevention of Pulmonary Tuberculosis were carried out at the Sialang Health Center, involving families and Pulmonary TB sufferers. The implementation of the activity used lecture methods, discussions, and the provision of educational media on the prevention of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. From the results of the activity, there was an increase in public knowledge about the prevention of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, namely from 55% before education to 85% after education. This increase was also accompanied by improvements in the attitudes and behavior of participants, such as being more active in using masks when coughing, maintaining home ventilation, maintaining personal hygiene, and seeking health services earlier if symptoms suspected of Pulmonary Tuberculosis appear. Participants also showed a better understanding of symptoms, transmission methods, and the importance of maintaining healthy living behavior in the family and community environment. This proves that education that is carried out in a structured and interactive manner can be an effective means of increasing public awareness and knowledge. Thus, education is an important and inexpensive approach that can improve the quality of life and create a healthy, independent, and prosperous society.

Abstract

Sistem administrasi yang efektif merupakan elemen penting dalam mendukung pelayanan kesehatan yang berkualitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh sistem administrasi terhadap tingkat kepuasan pasien di Klinik Fisioterapi Sultan Kota Sungai Penuh, Provinsi Jambi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner menggunakan model SERVQUAL dan melibatkan 35 responden yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden menilai sistem administrasi sudah cukup baik, terutama pada indikator keramahan petugas, kerapihan rekam medis, dan kemudahan pendaftaran. Namun, beberapa aspek seperti kecepatan pelayanan administrasi dan kejelasan informasi masih memerlukan perbaikan. Uji chi-square menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara efektivitas sistem administrasi dan kepuasan pasien dengan nilai χ² = 11,707 dan p = 0,0035 (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah sistem administrasi yang efektif berkorelasi dengan meningkatnya kepuasan pasien. Oleh karena itu, penguatan sistem administrasi melalui digitalisasi proses pendaftaran, pelatihan petugas, serta penyusunan standar operasional prosedur (SOP) yang konsisten perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan mutu pelayanan. Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi referensi dalam pengembangan layanan fisioterapi yang berorientasi pada kenyamanan dan kepuasan pasien.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis, driven by inflammation and oxidative stress, increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Flavonoids in butterfly pea and roselle are known for their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While their individual effects on cardiovascular health have been studied, no studies have explored the combined impact on atherosclerosis biomarkers, including vascular cell adhesion molecules (VCAM)-1, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, and interleukin (IL)-6. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the synergistic effects of butterfly pea and roselle combination extracts (BPRCE) on these biomarkers.METHODS: A study with a post-test control group design using 36 male white rats was performed. The rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups; 1 group was fed with standard feed, while 5 groups were fed with a high-fat atherogenic diet (HFAD) to create atherosclerosis rat models. The HFAD rats were given either no treatment, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), 300, 400, or 500 mg/kgBW BPRCE. Serum levels of VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and IL-6 of rats were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods.RESULTS: Increasing doses of BPRCE resulted in a significant reduction in VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and IL-6 compared to the other groups. The group with the highest dose, 500 mg/kgBW BPRCE, showed the greatest reduction of VCAM-1 level (32.73±3.57 pg/mL), ICAM-1 level (5.68±1.17 ng/mL), and IL-6 levels (21.49±4.62 pg/mL).CONCLUSION: Administration of BPRCE in atherosclerosis rats model reduces VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner. This study showed that using BPRCE as a traditional remedy for preventing and treating CHD at an optimal dose of 500 mg/kgBW might be a potential future application in reducing atherosclerosis biomarkers.KEYWORDS: VCAM-1, ICAM-1, IL-6, butterfly pea, rosella, atherosclerosis
