Abstract

 Stunting remains a serious health problem, including in the working area of the Batudaa Pantai Health Center. This condition arises from chronic malnutrition from the prenatal period through early life, which impacts linear growth, cognitive development, and the child's immune system. Based on the 2023 health center report, stunting cases remain, and interventions such as Supplementary Feeding (PMT) are not yet optimal. This situation highlights the need for a thorough evaluation of PMT implementation as part of efforts to improve the nutrition of young children. Stunting remains a serious health problem, including in the working area of the Batudaa Pantai Health Center. This condition arises from chronic malnutrition from the prenatal period through early life, which impacts linear growth, cognitive development, and the child's immune system. Based on the 2023 health center report, stunting cases remain, and interventions such as Supplementary Feeding (PMT) are not yet optimal. This situation highlights the need for a thorough evaluation of PMT implementation as part of efforts to improve the nutrition of young children. Based on the research findings, this study concludes that the implementation of the Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) in the Batudaa Pantai Public Health Center's working area has been quite successful in terms of target accuracy, food type, and quantity. However, improvements are still needed in terms of timeliness, frequency of administration, and children's consumption levels of PMT. The research results show that target accuracy and PMT consumption levels are significantly related to children's nutritional status. Children who receive PMT accurately and consume it regularly show better nutritional status compared to children who do not receive it accurately or do not consume PMT regularly. Keywords: PMT Accuracy, Stuntin

Abstract

Hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular disease with a rising global prevalence. While patient adherence is a critical determinant of therapeutic success, maintaining consistent compliance remains a significant challenge in primary healthcare. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of Drug Information Services (DIS) on the medication compliance levels of hypertension patients at the Paleleh Barat District Health Center. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with a correlational design was conducted involving 174 hypertensive patients selected through purposeful sampling. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods, specifically simple linear regression. Results: Descriptive analysis revealed that DIS was predominantly rated as "Good" (98.9%), and patient compliance was largely categorized as "High" (75.9%). However, the linear regression analysis yielded a significance value of p = 0.440 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings indicate that Drug Information Services do not have a statistically significant direct effect on medication compliance at this facility. The lack of statistical significance is likely attributed to data homogeneity and the 'ceiling effect,' suggesting that adherence in this rural context is driven by external factors such as family support and intrinsic patient motivation.
