Abstract

A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone. The injury recovery process may not go perfectly if the patient cannot move after surgery. Of course, this condition will affect the length of time the patient is considered in the emergency clinic. The recovery that medical staff should be able to carry out in patients with post-operative femur fractures is to complete the initial assembly. Early mobilization is an effort to pursue freedom as quickly as possible by directing the victim to follow physiological capabilities. The motivation behind this study was to determine the impact of early preparation practices on postoperative femoral fracture patients. This research was conducted in the Surgery Room at Ngudi Waluyo Wlingi Regional Hospital. The technique used is a quantitative illustrative examination strategy with an overview type. The population was 5 respondents with post-operative femur fractures treated in the work room, who were examined using an all out examination procedure. Information is obtained through perception. Considering the side effects of the review, it was shown that most of the 60% of respondents with post-operative femur fractures were dependent on others. It stands to reason that there is an impact of movement practices in post-operative femur fracture patients that would encourage a longer stay in the emergency clinic. Patients who are recovering from surgery need to start mobilizing as soon as possible to ensure smooth blood flow, speed wound healing, and minimize hospitalization..

Abstract

Introduction: Stockouts of vital medicines remain a critical issue in hospitals, particularly when drug availability drops to zero in pharmacy facilities. Although supplies may still exist elsewhere, it often takes up to a week for replenishment, potentially jeopardizing patient care. The "vital" category includes life-saving drugs whose unavailability is unacceptable. In Timor-Leste, stockout rates reported by the Ministry of Health were 20% in 2020, 22% in 2021, 19% in 2022, and rose sharply to 43% in 2023. Objective: This study aims to identify the factors contributing to stockouts of vital medicines at the Guido Valadares National Hospital (HNGV) Pharmacy Facility. Method: One of the methods used in this research is a quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique employed is probability sampling, which approximates the total sample. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS program to perform a Spearman Rank Correlation. Result and Discussion: Results revealed that human resources (p = 0.00, r = 0.416), medicine management (p = 0.00, r = 0.472), and patient volume (p = 0.00, r = 0.600) significantly influence stockouts. Conclusion: To eliminate the problem of stockouts in Timor-Leste, health professionals must pay attention to the factors influencing stockouts. Additionally, professional medication control services should plan medication purchases before supplies run out.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by prolonged insufficient nutrient intake, indicated by height-for-age (HAZ) with a Z-score between –2 and –3 standard deviations. In 2020, UNICEF estimated that 149.2 million (22%) children under five worldwide were stunted. In Timor-Leste, the Ministry of Health reported a prevalence rate of 47.1%. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors influencing stunting among children under five in Citrana Village, Oe-Cusse Municipality, focusing on maternal education level, family income, maternal knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding, and complementary feeding. Methods: This analytical quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design with a purposive sample of 120 children under five. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS with Chi-square and Spearman rank correlation tests. Results and Discussion: The results showed significant correlations between stunting and maternal education (p = 0.00; r = 0.705), family income (p = 0.00; r = 0.931), maternal knowledge (p = 0.00; r = 0.690), exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.00; r = 0.543), and complementary feeding (p = 0.00; r = 0.602). Conclusions: To reduce stunting in Timor-Leste, targeted interventions are required to address direct causes, such as providing adequate nutrition and integrated management of childhood illness, and indirect causes, including improved sanitation, nutrition services, healthcare, parental education, and promotion of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Background: Antibiotic resistance poses a significant global health challenge, often exacerbated by inappropriate antibiotic use and poor patient adherence to prescribed regimens. Understanding the factors influencing antibiotic knowledge and adherence among outpatients is critical to improving treatment outcomes and mitigating resistance development. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between patients’ knowledge and their adherence to antibiotic use at Puskesmas Gadung Kab. Buol Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted involving 42 outpatient respondents between January and February 2024. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge of antibiotics, and adherence behavior were collected using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation test were applied to analyze the data Result: The findings revealed that a substantial proportion of respondents demonstrated moderate to good knowledge about antibiotics, with a notable association between higher knowledge levels and better adherence to antibiotic regimens. The majority of participants complied with prescribed antibiotic use, particularly those with sufficient understanding of antibiotic resistance and appropriate usage. The study also identified that demographic factors such as age, gender, education, and occupation influenced both knowledge and adherence behaviors. The statistical analysis confirmed a significant positive correlation between knowledge and adherence, underscoring the importance of patient education Conclusion: In conclusion, enhancing patients’ knowledge about antibiotics is essential to improving adherence and combating antibiotic resistance. Healthcare providers should prioritize continuous educational interventions and counseling to reinforce correct antibiotic use among outpatients. Future research with larger samples and diverse settings is recommended to generalize the findings and explore additional factors influencing adherence.

Methods: Using analytic design with a cross-sectional study approach. The total population was 93 nurses, and a sample of 76 nurses was taken using stratified random sampling technique. Results and Discussion: The partial hypothesis analysis showed that leadership (p = 0.007, OR = 4.15) and knowledge (p = 0.000, OR = 19.77) had a significant positive influence on the application of the PNCM team model, while workload had a significant negative effect (p = 0.032, OR = 0.28). In contrast, supervision (p = 0.094) and motivation (p = 0.254) showed no significant partial influence. Simultaneously, leadership, supervision, knowledge, motivation, and workload contributed 37.8% to the application of the Professional Nursing Care Method (PNCM) of the Team Model.
