Abstract

Dental health is one of the factors supporting the healthy paradigm and is a national development strategy to achieve health development. Utilization of dental and oral public health services is crucial to maintaining dental and oral health. However, the low utilization of these health services remains a problem. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the utilization of dental health services at Rengas Pulau Public Health Center. This type of research is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Rengas Pulau Public Health Center from September 2023 to December 2023. The study population included all patients who visited Rengas Pulau Public Health Center more than once in 2023, totaling 151 patients. The research sample consisted of 60 people. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. Data collection procedures were conducted through questionnaire interviews. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test and multivariate analysis using multiple logistic regression with a significance level of 95% (α=0.05). The results showed that the factors influencing the utilization of dental health services at Rengas Pulau Public Health Center were distance from residence (ExpB= 3.527; p-value=0.003), the distance from the residence to the healthcare facility results in underutilization of dental health services; knowledge (ExpB= 3.158; p-value=0.005), people with good knowledge are more likely to utilize dental and oral health services because they understand that maintaining dental and oral health contributes to overall quality of life; and attitude (ExpB= 15.619; p-value=0.001), patients with a positive attitude will believe that undergoing an examination will significantly improve their dental and oral health, with the most dominant factor being patient attitude. It is recommended that Public Health Center improve health services by conducting socialization or outreach related to the available health services at the center. Keyword:  Dental, Services, Utilization

Abstract

This systematic literature review aimed to identify and synthesize nonclinical determinants contributing to the risk and management of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Indonesia. This review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and included ten eligible studies published between 2021 and 2025. The analysis revealed that various nonclinical factors—including sociodemographic (age, education level, rural-urban disparity), behavioral (smoking, physical inactivity, poor self-monitoring), psychosocial (low risk perception, limited family support, emotional distress), and anthropometric-vascular indicators (high BMI, uncontrolled blood pressure, low ABI)—significantly affect DPN risk and severity. In addition, system-level factors, such as health service accessibility and national NCD control policies, influenced early detection and complication management. These findings highlight the need for an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to DPN prevention and intervention that goes beyond clinical care. Strengthening community-based health education, incorporating psychosocial support in primary care, and formulating socially responsive health policies are essential to reduce the DPN burden among the diabetic population in Indonesia
