Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain the leading cause of death in Indonesia, including in Bandung City, where hypertension, heart disease, and stroke are the highest causes of mortality. Recently, the prevalence of NCDs has increased, frequently ranking among the top ten diseases reported in primary healthcare centres in Bandung. Furthermore, the epidemiological trend for NCDs has shifted from predominantly affecting older adults to increasingly affecting the productive age group. However, Indonesia still lacks research on NCD risk factors specifically within the productive age group, including in higher education populations where many individuals in this age group are present.Methods: This study aims to describe NCD risk factors in the productive age group (15-59 years), based on NCD risk factor screening data from the total sampling of 333 students and staff at Universitas Pasundan.Results: According to the data, 42.6% of respondents were in the pre-hypertension category and 5.4% already had hypertension, 36.6% had excessive body mass index (BMI), and 26.1% had central obesity. High blood pressure and central obesity were more prevalent in males, while excessive BMI was more prevalent in females. It was also found that 54.4% of respondents were exposed to cigarette smoke, 52.9% had insufficient physical activity, 49.8% consumed excessive sugar, 58.6% consumed excessive salt, 50.5% consumed excessive fat, and 57.4% had insufficient vegetable and fruit intake. Excessive consumption of sugar, salt, and fat was more prevalent in females.Conclusion: The study found that productive age population has a high risk of developing NCDs. Immidiate interventions are needed especially for at-risk populations, together with bolstering preventive and promotional efforts for those not yet at risk. The university should schedule regular annual screenings targeting a broader and more representative sample.

Abstract

Telemedicine, the use of communication technology to provide remote health services, has emerged as a transformative innovation in modern healthcare. This study aims to analyze the impact of telemedicine on healthcare service quality and identify strategies for its effective implementation. A literature review method was employed, sourcing articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases using keywords including "telemedicine," "telehealth," "quality of healthcare services," and "patient satisfaction." Inclusion criteria were articles published in the last 5-10 years, full-text availability, relevance to telemedicine and service quality, and publication in Indonesian or English. Exclusion criteria included opinion/editorial articles, irrelevant content, and duplicate publications. Ten articles meeting all criteria were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The findings demonstrate that telemedicine improves service access, reduces costs and waiting times, and achieves patient satisfaction levels comparable to face-to-face services. Telemedicine effectively supports diagnostic and patient follow-up processes. However, implementation faces significant obstacles including limited infrastructure (internet and electricity), regulatory and legal barriers, data security concerns, low digital literacy, and technology access inequality. This study concludes that telemedicine is an effective solution for improving healthcare quality and access, but successful implementation requires comprehensive strategies addressing infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and digital literacy enhancement. The practical implications suggest that healthcare policymakers should prioritize telemedicine integration while systematically addressing existing barriers.
