Abstract

Health services in Puskesmas have a strategic role in improving the quality of public health. However, the competence of nurses in health centers often still needs improvement, especially in terms of technical skills, communication, and patient-based services. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to improve the competence of nurses at the Health Center through practice-based training and mentoring. The implementation method involves stages: needs analysis, competency-based training, case simulation, and direct mentoring in the workplace. This activity is carried out collaboratively using a participatory approach, where nurses are actively involved in each stage to ensure the relevance and sustainability of learning. The results showed a significant improvement in the concept understanding and practical ability of nurses, which was reflected in the increase in skill evaluation scores before and after training. Mentoring also helps nurses in applying the knowledge gained into the context of daily work. In conclusion, practice-based training and mentoring is an effective strategy to improve the competence of nurses in health centers, which can ultimately contribute to improving the quality of public health services. This program is recommended to be implemented more widely with continuous support from related parties.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires comprehensive management and active participation from patients to prevent complications and improve quality of life. One of the most critical aspects of diabetes management is self-care, which encompasses diet regulation, regular physical activity, medication adherence, blood glucose monitoring, and stress management. However, patients’ perception of the disease and the length of time they have been suffering from it often influence their ability to implement effective self-care practices. This community service program aimed to provide self-care management education for patients with diabetes mellitus, tailored to their perception of the disease and the duration of their illness. The method used involved structured educational sessions, interactive discussions, and practical demonstrations tailored to patients’ levels of understanding and experiences in managing diabetes. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted to evaluate changes in knowledge, attitudes, and perceived self-efficacy. The results indicated that patients with longer disease duration generally demonstrated higher awareness but also faced challenges in maintaining long-term self-care consistency. Meanwhile, newly diagnosed patients often underestimate the seriousness of diabetes, which affects their adherence to lifestyle modifications. The program successfully enhanced patients’ knowledge and motivated them to engage in sustainable self-care practices. Community-based education that considers disease perception and the length of suffering is therefore an effective strategy for empowering patients with diabetes mellitus to manage their health. This approach is expected to reduce complications, enhance overall well-being, and support public health initiatives in the management of chronic diseases

Abstract

Treatment adherence remains a major challenge in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), particularly in community and primary health care settings. In Makassar, Indonesia, inadequate patient knowledge, negative attitudes toward long-term therapy, and fragmented health education contribute to suboptimal adherence and increase the risk of diabetes-related complications. This community service program aimed to improve treatment adherence among patients with T2DM through an integrated education approach. The program was implemented using a structured, participatory method involving five stages: situational analysis and coordination, participant recruitment and baseline assessment, integrated education intervention, mentoring and reinforcement, and evaluation and reflection. A total of 30 adult patients with T2DM participated in the program. Educational activities were delivered through interactive lectures, group discussions, practical demonstrations, and individualized counseling, focusing on medication adherence, dosage and administration, nutritional support, supplement safety, and the role of micronutrients in diabetes management. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre- and post-intervention assessments of participants’ knowledge and adherence-related understanding. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in knowledge across all assessed domains following the intervention. These findings indicate that integrated education is an effective strategy for strengthening patient understanding and supporting improved treatment adherence among individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at the community level

Abstract

ntroduction: Stunting remains a persistent public health challenge in Indonesia, affecting child growth, cognitive development, and long-term productivity. Despite national policy efforts, gaps in implementation at the primary health care level continue to limit program effectiveness, particularly in community engagement and service utilization. This community service program aimed to strengthen the implementation of stunting prevention policies through a primary health care approach by enhancing the capacity of health workers and community health cadres, and improving household-level practices. Methods: A participatory approach was applied involving 50 participants, including health workers, cadres, and mothers of children under five. The program consisted of training sessions, nutrition education, mentoring of at-risk families, and routine growth monitoring over three months. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-test assessments, structured observations, and questionnaires. Results: The intervention resulted in a marked increase in knowledge scores (from 62.4 to 84.7). Appropriate feeding practices improved from 46% to 78%, while attendance at posyandu services increased from 58% to 85%. Early improvements in child growth indicators were observed, with 64% of children showing better weight-related outcomes. Conclusion: Strengthening primary health care capacity and community engagement effectively supports the implementation of stunting prevention policies. This approach demonstrates potential as a scalable model for accelerating stunting reduction in similar settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension remains a major public health problem globally, particularly among pre-elderly adults (aged 45–59 years), who are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Both genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, play crucial roles in determining hypertension risk. Understanding how family history interacts with physical activity can provide valuable insights for prevention strategies among this population. Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association between family history of hypertension and physical activity with the prevalence of hypertension in pre-elderly adults. A total of 240 respondents aged 45–59 years were selected using stratified random sampling from community health centers. Data on blood pressure were collected through standardized sphygmomanometer measurements. Family history was determined based on self-reported parental or sibling hypertension. Physical activity level was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and categorized as low, moderate, or high. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The prevalence of hypertension among respondents was 37.5%. A significant association was found between family history and hypertension (p < 0.001), with individuals having a positive family history showing 3.2 times higher odds of hypertension (AOR = 3.24; 95% CI: 1.85–5.68). Physical activity also demonstrated a significant inverse association (p = 0.002), where participants with high activity levels had a 56% lower risk of hypertension compared to those with low activity (AOR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.25–0.78). Interaction analysis indicated that physically active individuals with a family history still had a reduced risk compared to inactive counterparts. Conclusion: Family history of hypertension and physical activity were significantly associated with hypertension among pre-elderly adults. A positive family history increases the risk, while regular physical activity offers a protective effect. Health promotion programs targeting lifestyle modification and routine blood pressure screening are recommended to prevent early onset of hypertension in this age group.

Abstract

Introduction: Digital transformation has emerged as a strategic approach to improve efficiency, accessibility, and data-driven decision-making in public health services. However, the implementation of digital health initiatives often faces institutional, governance, and coordination challenges. In addition, technological adoption alone may not guarantee sustainable improvements without collaborative innovation among stakeholders. This study aimed to explore how digital transformation and collaborative innovation interact in shaping public health service delivery. Research Methodology: This study employed a qualitative research design using a multiple case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving 18 stakeholders, including policymakers, public health managers, healthcare professionals, information technology personnel, and community representatives. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on their involvement in digital health initiatives. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by NVivo software, with triangulation applied to enhance the credibility of findings. Results: The study identified four major themes influencing digital transformation in public health services: digital infrastructure readiness, collaborative innovation among stakeholders, institutional and governance challenges, and perceived impacts on service delivery. Participants emphasized that integrated health information systems improved reporting efficiency and program monitoring. However, challenges related to system interoperability, regulatory fragmentation, and institutional coordination were reported as barriers to effective implementation. Conclusion: Digital transformation in public health services is shaped by the interaction between technological infrastructure, collaborative innovation, and governance capacity. Strengthening digital health governance, promoting cross-sector collaboration, and improving institutional digital capacity are essential to ensure sustainable and effective digital health implementation.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a persistent public health challenge in Indonesia despite comprehensive national policies and multisectoral strategies. The primary issue lies not only in policy design but in its implementation at the primary health care level. This study aimed to examine how stunting policies are communicated, interpreted, and implemented, and to identify factors influencing implementation effectiveness within primary health care settings. Research Methodology: A qualitative, theory-informed design was employed using Edwards III’s policy implementation framework. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 25 purposively selected health workers, including nurses, midwives, nutritionists, and public health officers. Additional data sources included document reviews and observational notes. Thematic analysis was conducted to explore patterns related to communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Results: Findings indicate that policy communication is predominantly top-down, with variable clarity and limited feedback mechanisms. Interpretation of policies is highly context-dependent, shaped by workload and local conditions. Implementation is largely integrated into routine maternal and child health services, with limited emphasis on preventive and multisectoral approaches. Key barriers include human resource constraints, insufficient funding, and rigid bureaucratic procedures. Despite these challenges, strong professional commitment among health workers emerged as a critical enabling factor supporting policy execution. Conclusion: The effectiveness of stunting policy implementation depends on strengthening communication clarity, resource allocation, and intersectoral coordination. Enhancing frontline engagement and reducing bureaucratic rigidity are essential to align policy intent with practice. A process-oriented approach to implementation improvement is necessary to achieve sustainable reductions in stunting.

Abstract

Background: Caring behaviour plays a vital role in the nursing profession, especially in public health settings. In-home care services, where patients receive medical attention in the comfort of their homes, the quality of care and patient satisfaction depend heavily on the nurse's ability to exhibit caring behavior. Objective: This study aims to analyze and identify the relationship between the caring behavior of public health nurses and the level of patient satisfaction in homecare services. Methods: In this study, the design used is a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional study approach. According to the formula found by Isaac and Micheal, the population in this study amounted to 402 respondents, so a sample of 162 respondents was obtained. The sampling technique was Probability Sampling with a proportional random sampling type. Results: Based on the results of the cross-tabulation that has been carried out between caring behaviour and patient satisfaction using the Fisher Exact test statistical test, the result is in the form of a p-value of 0.001 with a significant level of <0.05 and with this value (0.001) means less than the value a (0.05). It can indicate that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, and it can be concluded that caring behavior can increase patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Researchers suggest that the caring behavior of public health nurses has a vital role in increasing patient satisfaction with homecare services. Nurses can help patients feel more comfortable and supported in their home environment through more personalised attention, effective communication, and emotional support. This contributes directly to increased patient satisfaction, which feels valued and cared for holistically in-home care.
