Abstract

Background: Patient safety refers to actions taken to prevent medical errors and adverse events related to healthcare services, particularly in hospitals where the risk of patient safety incidents is relatively high. Professional dental students are involved in planning and performing patient care under the supervision of the attending physician, making it important to assess their level of knowledge regarding patient safety goals, which may influence the quality of hospital services. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of dental professional students regarding the six dimensions of patient safety goals established by the World Health Organization. Subjects and Method: This study was conducted in December 2025 and involved 104 professional dental students who were actively participating in the Integrated Clinic at Universitas Muhamma­diyah Semarang Dental Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected using printed questionnaires that were distributed and collected on the same day. The variable examined was the level of knowledge of professional dental students regarding patient safety goals. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to present the characteristics of the respondents. Results: Among 104 professional dental students, the overall knowledge regarding patient safety goals was categorized as good (mean score=80.93%). The highest knowledge score is Improve Effective Communication dimension (96.8%), whereas the lowest score was found in the Identify Patient Correctly dimension (64.73%). Conclusion: The knowledge of professional dental students regarding patient safety goals at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang Dental Hospital is categorized as good.

Abstract

Background: Nd:YAG laser is an important therapeutic modality in dermatology, venereology, and aesthetics due to its precision, effectiveness, deep tissue penetration, and favorable cosmetic outcomes. However, comprehensive data regarding patient demographics and treatment indications for Nd:YAG laser therapy in Indonesia, particularly in tertiary referral institutions, remain highly limited.Objective: To determine the characteristics of patients undergoing Nd:YAG laser therapy at the dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta, for the period of 2016–2025. Subject and Method: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted by analyzing secondary data from the medical records of patients who underwent Nd:YAG laser therapy. The variables examined included demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics such as diagnosis and lesion size, as well as the intensity or number of treatment sessions. Results: A total of 172 patients underwent Nd:YAG laser procedures. Female patients (58.14%) predominated over males (41.86%). The most frequent diagnoses were nevus of Ota (18.02%), tattoo removal (8.72%), and melanocytic nevus (8.14%). Most patients required only 1–2 treatment sessions (58.72%), while 3.49% of patients required more than 15 therapy sessions Conclusion: Nd:YAG laser therapy at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital is more frequently used for congenital dermal pigmentary disorders (melanocytosis) such as nevus of Ota compared to classic global indications like sociocultural tattoo removal. This difference emphasizes that laser practice is not only determined by global trends but is also strongly influenced by local epidemiology, modality availability, and clinician preferences.

Abstract

Background: Elevated blood pressure among young adults has become an emerging public health concern due to unhealthy lifestyle changes and low awareness of cardiovascular risk factors. Lifestyle factors such as physical activity, smoking habits, dietary habits, and sleep quality may be associated with blood pressure levels in young adults. This study aimed to analyze the associations between lifestyle factors and elevated blood pressure among young adults. Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted among students of Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Central Java. A total of 200 respondents were selected using proportional random sampling. The dependent variable was elevated blood pressure, while the independent variables included physical activity, smoking habits, dietary habits, and sleep quality. Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer, while the other variables were assessed using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple logistic regression and presented as odds ratio (OR) and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Poor sleep quality was associated with higher odds of elevated blood pressure (aOR= 9.15; 95% CI= 3.42 to 24.53; p<0.001). Higher dietary habits were also associated with higher odds of elevated blood pressure (aOR= 1.27; 95% CI= 1.12 to 1.44; p<0.001), indicating that poorer dietary habits were related to increased odds of elevated blood pressure. In contrast, high physical activity was associated with lower odds of elevated blood pressure (aOR= 0.10; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.79; p= 0.029). Smoking habits were not significantly associated with elevated blood pressure. Conclusion: Elevated blood pressure among young adults was associated with lifestyle factors. These findings highlight the importance of promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors as part of hyper­tension prevention efforts among university students.

Abstract

Background: Road traffic accidents remain a significant global health problem and are among the leading causes of trauma-related mortality, particularly in developing countries. Head injury is one of the most serious consequences of road traffic accidents and contributes substantially to death and disability. Several factors, including age, sex, and type of intracranial haemorrhage, have been reported to affect mortality among patients with head injuries; however, studies in Indonesia have generally examined these factors separately. Evidence regarding the simultaneous relationship of these variables with mortality remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between age, sex, and type of haemorrhage and mortality in patients with head injuries following road traffic accidents. Subjects and Method: This cross-sectional study included 1,355 patients with head injuries due to road traffic accidents treated at Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah dr. Moewardi, Surakarta. Data on mortality, age, sex, and type of hemorrhage were collected from medical records (January 2023–January 2026) and analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Results: Older adults had a significantly higher risk of mortality than adults (OR= 2.03; 95% CI= 1.66 to 2.47; p<0.05). No significant association was found between sex and mortality (p>0.05). Mortality was significantly associated with the type of hemorrhage (p<0.05), with subdural hemorrhage showing the highest mortality rate (26.5%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age (aOR= 2.34; 95% CI= 1.77 to 3.08; p<0.05) and type of hemorrhage (aOR= 1.44; 95% CI= 1.22 to 1.71; p<0.05) were independent predictors of mortality, with age contributing more strongly to the model. Conclusion: Advanced age and subdural haemorrhage significantly associated with increased mortality in patients with head injuries following road traffic accidents, whilst gender was not found to be a significant factor.
