Abstract

Hypertension is a common health problem among the elderly and carries a risk of increasing cardiovascular complications. Non-pharmacological efforts such as laughter therapy, a low-salt diet, exercise, and physical activity are important strategies in controlling blood pressure. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of laughter therapy, a low-salt diet, exercise, and physical activity on reducing blood pressure in elderly patients at the Sei Kepayang Timur Community Health Center in Asahan Regency. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group approach. The number of respondents was 60 elderly people who were divided equally into an intervention group of 30 people and a control group of 30 people. Data were analyzed using comparative statistical tests (paired t-test and chi-square test) with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that in the intervention group, there was a decrease in mean systolic blood pressure from 150.2 mmHg to 135.4 mmHg, with a difference of 14.8 mmHg (p = 0.000), and a decrease in diastolic blood pressure from 93.2 mmHg to 84.4 mmHg, with a difference of 8.8 mmHg (p= 0.000). Other interventions, including a low-fat diet, exercise, and physical activity, were also shown to be effective in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In conclusion, laughter therapy, a low-salt diet, exercise, and physical activity are effective in reducing blood pressure in the elderly. Based on these study results, the elderly are advised to regularly engage in laughter therapy, maintain a low-salt diet, and increase physical activity and exercise. Health institutions need to integrate this non-pharmacological intervention program into promotive and preventive services. Future research is expected to examine long-term effectiveness and expand the sample size.

Abstract

Nutritional problems among toddlers, particularly malnutrition, remain a significant public health concern in Indonesia. The Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) is a key government initiative that utilizes local food resources to improve the nutritional status of children under five. However, the program continues to face several implementation challenges that must be addressed to ensure its effectiveness. This study aimed to identify the challenges and solutions associated with the implementation of the PMT in the Sei Mencirim Health Center area, Deli Serdang Regency. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving eight key informants comprising health workers, posyandu cadres, and parents of PMT recipients. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman framework, which includes data reduction, data display, and verification. The findings revealed several key challenges: untimely distribution of PMT, declining food quality, budget constraints, low parental education levels, and limited parental involvement in program monitoring. To address these issues, a range of targeted solutions was implemented, including the formation of dedicated distribution teams, menu standardization, establishment of centralized food processing sites, improved data accuracy, continuous staff training, enhanced cross-sector coordination, and routine monitoring and evaluation. These interventions led to a 35% improvement in the timeliness of PMT distribution and a 50% increase in family participation, contributing positively to the nutritional outcomes of toddlers. In conclusion, targeted interventions and multisectoral collaboration significantly enhanced the effectiveness of PMT implementation in the study area.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinants that affect the satisfaction of BPJS participants with outpatient installation services at Royal Prima Marelan Hospital. Patient satisfaction is an important indicator in assessing the quality of health services, especially in the National Health Insurance (JKN) program organized by BPJS. The research method used is observational analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 232 respondents selected through the purposive sampling method, namely BPJS participant patients who visited the outpatient installation of the Royal Prima Marelan Hospital. The variables analyzed included membership status, perception of service procedures (registration), perception of human resource services (health workers), perception of drug services (pharmacy), and perception of facilities. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire that included the dimensions of these services. Data analysis involves univariate tests, bivariates with chi-square tests, and multivariates to determine dominant factors. The results showed that 83.3% of respondents were satisfied with the service, while the rest felt less satisfied. The factors that had a significant relationship with patient satisfaction were perception of service procedures (p=0.004), perception of human resource services (p=0.039), perception of drug services (p=0.000), and perception of facilities (p=0.011). The perception of drug services has the greatest influence on the satisfaction of BPJS participants. These results suggest that the accuracy, availability, and ease of access of medications greatly contribute to satisfaction rates. The conclusion of this study is that improving the quality of significant service factors, especially related to drug services and facilities, needs to be a priority for hospitals to increase the satisfaction of BPJS participants. This research is expected to be a reference for policymakers in designing strategies to improve health services, especially at the Royal Prima Marelan Hospital.Keywords: Hospital, Installation Services, Outpatient, Social Health Insurance Administration
