Abstract

Outpatient pharmacy services in a hospital shows the quality of health service to the community. Data from the internal quality assurance report of Hospital ”X” in Padang showed that only 93.76% of non-compounded medication and 94.6% of compounded medication recipes met the waiting time standard. This study aimed to analyze the causes of the long waiting time for outpatient pharmacy services at Hospital “X”. The type of this research was a mix-method sequential type explanatory, conducted from February until May 2022. The quantitative design was a cross-sectional study of 141 for non-concoction and 35 for compounded medication recipes determined by quota sampling. Qualitative research was conducted on seven informants by purposive sampling. Observation, in-depth interviews, and document review collected data. Results showed that the average waiting time was 84.19 (standard ≤30) minutes for non-concoction and 164.58 (standard ≤60) minutes for compounded medication recipes. The causes of the long waiting time were a need for more staff, prescriptions outside the hospital formulary, equipment errors, and medicines delivery delays. There should be a job redesign by rearranging the shift picket for pharmacy staff, regular equipment maintenance, and updating standard operating procedures related to medicines delivery to the patients.

Abstract

Adolescent smoking behavior poses a serious challenge to public health. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Smoke-Free Area (SFA) policy in two high schools in Padang City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving 37 students from Senior High School X and Vocational High School Y West Sumatera. The study findings revealed that although most students support the SFA policy, there is still inconsistency between their attitudes and actual behavior, mainly due to the lack of teacher role models and limited visibility of the policy. This study concludes that the success of the SFA policy depends not only on formal regulations but also on consistent implementation and active involvement of the entire school community. Participatory approaches and behavioral modeling are the main strategies for the policy's success in the educational environment.

Abstract

Public health is one of the key aspects of sustainable development. This community service activity aims to improve public health through nutritional status assessments conducted during the Car Free Day (CFD) event in Padang City. The methods used include nutritional status measurement, nutrition education, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Health measurements included assessments of body weight, height, fat mass, muscle mass, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, uric acid levels, and hemoglobin levels. Education was delivered through interactive sessions and the distribution of leaflets on healthy eating patterns and clean-living behaviors. The impact of the education was evaluated qualitatively through testimonials from participants who took part in both the health check and educational sessions. Participants shared their experiences regarding changes in their dietary habits and healthy lifestyle practices after participating in the program. Several participants stated that they had begun adopting healthier lifestyles, such as paying more attention to food intake, increasing physical activity, and feeling the benefits of a fitter body. Based on these testimonials, this activity demonstrated an increase in awareness and the adoption of healthy living behaviors among the community. Therefore, interventions through health assessments and nutrition education have been proven to contribute to encouraging positive behavioral changes within the community.

Abstract

Introduction: In Indonesia, especially in urban areas, lifestyle and environmental changes contribute to a triple burden of nutritional problems among adolescents, where undernutrition (9.8%) coexists with increasing cases of overweight and obesity (8.6%). This condition reflects a growing imbalance between adolescents’ eating patterns and body perception. Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between body image and eating patterns among adolescents with normal, overweight, and obese nutritional status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was applied in this study and data were analyzed using the Chi-square test by comparing observed and expected frequencies. The data collected included the  nutritional status as the dependent variable, body image, socioeconomic factors, and eating patterns as independent variables. The study was conducted in two selected public high schools in Padang City, involving 1,299 population students aged 15–18 years, with a total sample of 377 respondents were selected. Data collection was conducted from August 2024 to March 2025. Results: Results showed that 33.7% of students experienced either undernutrition or overnutrition, 64.5% had poor eating behaviors, and 42.2% reported a negative body image. There were significant associations between eating patterns (p-value=0.049; POR=1.63) and body image (p-value=0.001; POR=29.2) with nutritional status among high school students in Padang City. Conclusion: Understanding the relationship between eating patterns, body image, and nutritional status is essential for developing effective school-based interventions and health promotion strategies.

Abstract

Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of mortality among children under five in Indonesia. Air pollution and climatic factors may increase the risk of pneumonia in this vulnerable population. This study aimed to examine the associations between air pollution, climatic factors, and pneumonia incidence among children under five in Padang City during 2023–2024. An ecological study was conducted using secondary data collected within a 5-km radius of an Air Quality Monitoring Station (AQMS). Air Quality Index (AQI) data were obtained from the West Sumatra Environmental Agency, while daily pneumonia surveillance data were obtained from the Padang City Health Office. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, and descriptive spatial analysis. In the adjusted multiple regression model, carbon monoxide (CO) (β = 0.00, p = 0.027) and ozone (O₃) (β = 0.28, p = 0.039) were positively associated with pneumonia incidence, with O₃ identified as the strongest predictor. In unadjusted analyses, each 1 µg/Nm³ increase in CO and O₃ concentrations was associated with increases of 0.01 and 0.43 daily pneumonia cases, respectively. Together, both pollutants explained 27% of the variation in pneumonia incidence (R² = 0.27). Spatial analysis showed that areas with higher CO and O₃ concentrations tended to have higher pneumonia incidence. Strengthening air pollution control and targeted public health interventions are essential to reduce the burden of childhood pneumonia.
