Abstract

North Sulawesi is located on a megathrust system and is very vulnerable to destructive earthquake events. Therefore, disaster mitigation from a health perspective must be carried out. Good knowledge will shape a positive attitude as a response that will determine actions in providing effective and optimal health services during a disaster. However, so far, the level of knowledge, attitudes, and actions of doctors in community health centers in North Sulawesi in facing disasters has never been evaluated, so the readiness of doctors in community health centers in facing disasters is still not well understood. One of the effects after a disaster is kidney failure (CKD) due to the lack of fluids needed by the body, making it one of the unavoidable effects of a disaster. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the diseases whose number and prevalence are significant both globally, nationally, and locally in North Sulawesi. The purpose of this research is to: 1) explore the perceptions and experiences of the community regarding the risk factors for CKD, 2) develop and test the effectiveness of a disaster-based education program in increasing community knowledge about CKD prevention. The design used is a multistage mixed method. The research began with the collection of qualitative data through in-depth interviews, followed by the development of an educational program and the experimental testing of the educational program. This research was conducted in Kuwil Village, North Minahasa Regency. A total of 15 participants were involved in the interviews and 38 participants in the experimental phase. Qualitative data is analyzed thematically, while quantitative data is analyzed descriptively through comparison. The results of the qualitative analysis yielded 2 themes. The first theme is the disparity in public knowledge about CKD, and the second theme is the public's efficacy regarding the prevention and impact of CKD. The analysis results using the paired t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000, which means that the disaster-based education program is effective in increasing public knowledge about CKD and its prevention. Having sufficient knowledge and adequate sources of information can help the community in making healthy lifestyle choices, especially in preventing the occurrence of CKD. Disaster-based education programs can be one of the approaches that community health centers can take to improve public literacy regarding CKD prevention.

Abstract

Patient safety is a global issue that must be prioritized in health care facilities, Patient Safety Incidents often occur and one of the causes is human error from health workers, therefore it is important to improve the quality of Human Resources, especially Nurses in Health Care Facilities by utilizing technological developments to increase effectiveness and efficiency. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of mobile application empowerment educational program on nurses knowledge, attitude and competencies towards patient safety. The design of this study was purely experimental, the population was all nurses implementing the inpatient ward in 3 hospitals in Medan City (Murni Teguh Memorial Hospital, Rosiva Mother and Child Hospital and Susanna Wesley Hospital) as many as 860 nurses. Sampling was determined by the proportional random sampling method of 300 nurses. Showed that there was an increase in scores between before and after being given learning using the Mobile Application (Wilcoxon Test P value <0.001), being given learning between the intervention and control groups (Mann-Whitney Test P Value <0.001). There is an influence of the use of mobile applications (SBN Patient Safety) as a learning method on the attitudes, and competencies of respondents Multivariate ANOVA (MANOVA) test shows that all four significant values of Pillai's Trace, P Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, Roy's Largest Root <0.001). In this study, mobile Application was well received as a learning method to improve nurses' attitudes and competencies about patient safety. It is expected that health service facilities and all related parties will maintain and improve the quality of health services by implementing patient safety as an effort to prevent patient safety incidents.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas such as Medan. While socioeconomic and nutritional factors are well recognized, the influence of maternal age at marriage on child growth is less explored. This study examined the association between maternal age at marriage and childhood stunting in Medan, Indonesia. Methods. An analytical observational study with a case–control design was conducted from January to March 2025 across several community health centres in Medan. A total of 124 mother–child pairs (62 stunted and 62 non-stunted children) were selected using cluster random sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews and health-record reviews. Stunting was defined as height-for-age Z-score < -2 SD based on WHO standards. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between maternal age at marriage (<25 years vs ≥25 years) and stunting, adjusting for maternal education, maternal health during pregnancy, socioeconomic status, and birth weight. Children of mothers who married before age 25 had significantly higher odds of being stunted compared with those whose mothers married later (adjusted OR = 2.85; 95% CI: 1.71-4.76; p < 0.001). Low maternal education (adjusted OR = 2.12; p = 0.021) and low birth weight (adjusted OR = 2.43; p = 0.030) were also independent predictors of stunting. Conclusion. Maternal marriage before 25 years is a strong determinant of childhood stunting in urban Medan. Delaying maternal marriage, enhancing women’s education, and strengthening maternal health programs could substantially reduce stunting prevalence. This study contributes new evidence to Indonesia’s national efforts to prevent stunting through life-course and policy-oriented interventions.

Abstract

Mechatronics, as an interdisciplinary field integrating mechanical, electrical, computer, and control engineering, provides innovative solutions for energy and environmental challenges in urban regions. This study conducts a systematic literature review and meta-analysis using open access datasets to evaluate solar energy potential, electricity reliability, and air quality in Medan, North Sumatra. Results show that the city has strong solar irradiance levels, averaging 5.75 kWh/m²/day, indicating substantial feasibility for photovoltaic deployment. Electricity reliability, assessed through SAIFI and SAIDI indicators, is more stable in Medan compared with other Indonesian cities, offering a favorable foundation for renewable integration. Air quality analysis reveals moderate conditions, with PM2.5 concentrations averaging 28 µg/m³, slightly above World Health Organization standards, yet lower than Jakarta and Pekanbaru. Across all dimensions, mechatronics applications, including smart grid automation, intelligent inverters, IoT-based environmental sensors, and robotics-assisted monitoring emerge as crucial tools to bridge research and implementation gaps. The study identifies limited adoption of techno-economic feasibility analysis, localized reliability assessments, and distributed sensor networks in Medan, which restricts practical deployment. Future research should emphasize mechatronic frameworks such as predictive control, cyber-physical systems, and stochastic modeling to improve resilience. Policy recommendations highlight the need for targeted incentives, pilot projects, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, this work positions mechatronics as a key enabler for sustainable energy transition and environmental management in Medan, offering insights applicable to other rapidly urbanizing regions in Indonesia.
