Abstract

Healthcare professionals’ adherence to hand hygiene protocols is paramount to prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) and ensure patient safety. This study evaluates compliance with the World Health Organization's (WHO) "Five-Moment Hand Hygiene" protocol among nurses in two Indonesian hospitals: Regional General Hospital X in Makassar City and Provincial General Hospital Y in South Sulawesi Province. A total of 60 nurses participated, with demographic analysis revealing significant differences between the hospitals. Utilizing a comprehensive observation tool provided by the WHO, data analysis indicated variations in hand hygiene practices, particularly after touching patient surroundings. Despite these differences, the data followed a normal distribution, enhancing the reliability of statistical analyses. Significant disparities in hand hygiene practices were found after touching patient surroundings (p-value = 0.008; α < 0.05), underscoring the urgent need for targeted interventions among nurses to improve their compliance and enhance patient safety. This study recommends comprehensive training, resource provision, regular audits, fostering a supportive organizational culture, and integrating robust hand hygiene modules into nursing education. The study also suggests further research to identify barriers and improvement strategies. Addressing these recommendations collectively will bolster patient safety and reduce healthcare-associated infection burdens in Indonesian healthcare settings. The study's identification of specific deficiencies in hand hygiene practices provides actionable insights for healthcare administrators, infection control practitioners, and frontline healthcare workers, emphasizing the urgency of sustained efforts to promote proper hand hygiene practices.

Abstract

AbstrakAsam urat atau gout adalah gangguan metabolisme purin yang ditandai oleh peningkatan kadar asam urat dalam darah, menyebabkan penumpukan kristal asam urat dan nyeri sendi, terutama pada lansia. Di Indonesia, prevalensi asam urat tinggi dengan lebih dari 355 juta penderita dan prevalensi hiperurisemia mencapai 81%. Wanita menopause memiliki risiko lebih tinggi karena penurunan hormon estrogen. Penanganan asam urat mencakup terapi farmakologis dan non-farmakologis, termasuk edukasi kesehatan yang penting dalam pengendalian asam urat. Pengabdian masyarakat di Panti Werdha Theodora Makassar bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kualitas hidup lansia terkait asam urat melalui edukasi tentang definisi, penyebab, gejala, dan manajemen diet yang sesuai. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi penyuluhan kesehatan dengan ceramah interaktif, distribusi materi edukasi tertulis, dan pemeriksaan kadar asam urat menggunakan alat tes cepat. Pemeriksaan kadar asam urat dilakukan pada 14 lansia, dengan hasil menunjukkan 80% lansia memahami materi yang diberikan. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan kualitas hidup lansia, serta penurunan konsumsi makanan yang dapat meningkatkan kadar asam urat, sehingga dapat memperpanjang usia harapan hidup lansia.Kata kunci: Asam Urat, Edukasi Kesehatan, Lansia.

Abstract

The Appassili tradition is a customary ceremony of the Makassar tribe at the age of seven months of pregnancy that is believed to be a ritual of self-purification for the mother and fetus for protection from bad things until the end of the process of childbirth. The study aims to explore the elements of mind-body therapy in the Appassilian tradition. This research uses non-empirical qualitative ethnographic research methods. The study used snowball sampling techniques and obtained 17 informants, consisting of 15 pregnant women and two Sanro people (traditional birth attendants or people trusted to help with childbirth) as key informants. Data collection is carried out through in-depth interviews and field observations, with data analysis using OpenCode software. The results obtained five themes, namely: 1) physical and mental conditions during pregnancy; 2) abstinence during gestation; 3) forms of belief in the Appassili's; 4) the meaning of the procession of the Appassili's; and 5) benefits derived from the Appasili's. There are elements of mind-body therapy in the Appassili tradition, namely prayer, respiratory therapy, and autogenic relaxation. In addition, there is an element of manipulative and body-based therapy in the Appassili, which is the therapy that sanro performs on the stomachs of pregnant mothers. The advice for future researchers further explores how the role of health care can be combined with the culture that is inherent in society.
