Abstract

Introduction: Indonesian Ministry of Health has emphasized the need to effectively identify and respond to emergent threats (ET) to maternal and newborn health (MNH), including non-communicable and infectious diseases. Improved ET screening, surveillance, and data management will reduce poor MNH outcomes including mortality, stillbirth, prematurity, and low birthweight. This scoping review examines practices of surveillance of ET to MNH, both globally and in Indonesia.Methods: Fifty-nine articles published between 2011 to 2024, sourced from PubMed and Google Scholar were reviewed. Thirteen articles were included in the final scoping review. The key search terms included “emergent threat surveillance”, “maternal and newborn health”, “MNH surveillance”, “PWS-KIA”, and “SatuSehat”.Results: The review identified numerous gaps in MNH surveillance, including a need for comprehensive data sharing between health facility, district, provincial, and national levels. Additionally, midwives reported that the current MNH monitoring system, PWS-KIA (Local Area Monitoring Health of Mother and Child), is time-consuming and confusing, leading to poor data reporting. Finally, due to limited training of health workers, there is a lack of data analyzation at each level, leading to poor response.Conclusion: An integrated, standardized, and user-friendly system is needed to detect and mitigate emergent threat to maternal and neonatal health. Data analysis and response to adequately identify and reduce emergent threat at each level is critical.  Routine training is needed to improve health provider knowledge on data interpretation and use.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is one of the leading causes of premature death in the world. Hypertension mostly occurs in the elderly group, but recently it is found in the productive age group, especially at the age of 20-44 years. The purpose of the study was to determine the risk factors for hypertension in productive age group in the working area of Alak Health Center, Kupang City in 2023.Methods: The analytical observational research with a case control design was used. The study was conducted in the working area of the Alak Health Centre in Kupang City in November-December 2023. The population in the study was divided into the case (productive age 20-44 years who had hypertension) and the control (productive age 20-44 years who did not suffer from hypertension). The risk factors studied were risky diet (high fat, salt and sugar), obesity and light physical activities. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted in chi square tests.Results: The results showed that 3 risk factors of hypertension incidence in the productive age group were risky diet (OR = 4.448, 95% CI = 1.675-11.811, p = 0.003,), obesity (OR = 5.073, 95% CI = 1.994-12.903, p=0.0001), and light physical activity (OR = 6.250, 95% CI = 2.425-16.108; p = 0.002).Conclusion: The risk factors for hypertension among the productive age group in Alak Health Center working area, Kupang, were diet high in fat, salt and sugar, obesity and light physical activity.

Abstract

Introduction: HIV is a serious global health problem that requires immediate attention due to its increasing prevalence. Indonesia having one of the highest numbers of cases, while East Kalimantan was one of the provinces with a high number of cases. The availability of HIV testing and counseling services at RSUD Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie enabled the researchers to analyze factors that influence HIV occurrence. This study aimed to find a prediction model for HIV status.Methods: This cross-sectional study used secondary data from 7,589 individuals from the Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) Clinic of RSUD Abdoel Wahab Sjahranie from June to December 2023. Data were collected from January to March 2024. The data were analysed using the logistic regression method.Results: It was shown that age, injection drug use, and types of sexual behavior were significantly associated to HIV status. The obtained binary logistic regression model is: HIV status = -4.729-0,032 (age) + 6,862 (injection drug use) + 6,173 (type of sexual behavior). This model could explain 53.8 percent of the variation in HIV status based on the independent variables, with injection drug use as the dominant variable. Injection drug use and risky sexual behavior were significant factors of HIV status.Conclusion: Injection drug users were at greater risk of HIV infection, with the highest odds ratio, followed by persons with risky sexual behavior. Further intervention efforts through expanding service coverage and diagnostic testing for key populations to prevent HIV transmission is needed

Abstract

Introduction: A complete medical record is defined as one that is fully completed by Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) within ≤ 24 hours after the patient is discharged. In the third quarter of 2022, X Regional Hospital recorded the highest percentage of incomplete inpatient medical records in October, totaling 465 incomplete records (32.68%). This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the incompleteness of inpatient medical record documentation at the hospital using Lawrence Green's behavioral theory, focusing on predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors.Methods: This qualitative study employed data collection techniques such as observation, documentation, and interviews to nine informants, comprising one head of the medical records department, four attending physicians, three nurses, and one head of the inpatient ward. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, followed by providing improvement recommendations.Results: The findings indicate predisposing factors include limited staff knowledge about medical record documentation. Enabling factors involve an insufficient number of computers, incomplete training attendance, and unawareness of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) on medical record completeness. Reinforcing factors include the absence of punishment for non-compliance.Conclusion: Improvement efforts include conducting regular socialization, monitoring, and evaluation of SOP implementation for medical record completeness; proposing additional computers; organizing seminars and training on medical record documentation for medical record staff and HCPs; and implementing a reward and punishment system to enhance HCP performance in completing inpatient medical records.

Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of unsafe behavior has increased over the last three years. This was based on the incidence of minor work accidents and findings of near-miss conditions in each production area. This research aimed to analyze the association between age, tenure, and work attitude on unsafe action among “X company” workers.Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study comprised of 93 workers in the production area of “X Company” in one of the plants. A simple random sampling technique was used, which yielded a sample size of 76 respondents. The independent variables studied were age, work tenure, and work attitude. The dependent variable was unsafe action. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires, which had been tested for their validity and reliability. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regressions were used for data analysis.Results: The subjects were between 25-56 years, with an average of 41.2 years. The majority of the subjects (85.5%) had work tenure for ≥ 10 years, 67.1% had negative work attitude, and 53.9% had unsafe action. There was no association between age and unsafe action (p=1.000), but there were associations between work tenure (0.004) and work attitude (p=0.0001) with unsafe action. The multiple logistic regression showed that both work tenure and attitude concurrently associated to unsafe action.Conclusion: The work tenure of more than ten years and negative work attitude were associated to unsafe action behavior in “X Company,” whereas age did not associated to unsafe behavior.
