Abstract

Collagen is an important substance in the body to compose connective tissue. One of the important roles of collagen is to keep the skin strong and elastic so that the skin does not look old. However, with age, the body's collagen production will decrease and have an effect on skin aging, so external collagen supplementation is often used to prevent premature aging. This study was conducted to review more deeply the role and effectiveness of oral hydrolyzed collagen supplementation in preventing premature aging of the skin of women aged 30-60 years and to compare the effectiveness and benefits of topical collagen compared to oral collagen so that the results of this study are expected to be useful in considering the use of oral collagen for prevention of premature aging. A literature search was conducted from journal articles with a time span of 2012-2022 using databases in the form of Pubmed, Ebsco, Google Scholar, Hindawi, Medline and Science Direct (28 articles). We included 28 research articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria by analyzing the abstract and full text through tables together. A literature search was conducted from journal articles with a time span of 2012-2022 using databases in the form of Pubmed, Ebsco, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Research shows that hydrolyzed oral collagen has a fairly high level of effectiveness in inhibiting the premature aging process, in the form of increasing skin hydration and elasticity and reducing wrinkles in several areas of the face. The use of oral and topical collagen also has almost the same effect and will provide a more satisfying effect if consumed together.

Abstract

Wound care is a critical aspect of healthcare, particularly in communities facing an increasing prevalence of chronic and post-surgical wounds. In Samarinda, East Kalimantan, the growing demand for specialized wound care services highlights the need to understand patient satisfaction as a vital indicator of healthcare quality. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing patient satisfaction at NCI Wound Care Clinic, which provides both in-clinic and home-care wound management. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving eight informants: four who received treatment at the clinic and four who received home-care services. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, direct observations, and field notes, and were analyzed thematically. The findings identified seven latent variables that influenced satisfaction: engaging interpersonal communication, accessibility from home, perceived clinical competence of nurses, detailed pricing, accommodation of personal needs, and two negative factors—ineffective registration and scheduling processes. The results indicate that empathy, professionalism, transparency, and flexibility contribute significantly to patient satisfaction. Conversely, administrative inefficiencies negatively affect satisfaction and perceptions of service quality. The study concludes that improving interpersonal communication, cost transparency, and digitalized administrative systems can enhance both patient satisfaction and the overall quality of wound care services.
