Abstract

The rapid spread of Covid-19 has impacted physical and psychological well-being globally, including in Indonesia. Anxiety and depression are prevalent psychological challenges during the pandemic. This study aimed to assess the relationship between Covid-19 knowledge and psychological outcomes—anxiety and depression—among residents in Indonesia's high-risk "red zones." A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 394 respondents who met inclusion criteria, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using online surveys incorporating the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP), GAD-7, and PHQ-9 questionnaires. Results indicated that 84.5% of respondents had good knowledge of Covid-19. However, 35.3% and 27.9% reported depression and anxiety, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis found no significant relationship between Covid-19 knowledge and either anxiety (p = 0.311) or depression (p = 0.356). These findings suggest that while knowledge levels were high, psychological issues persisted, highlighting a gap in addressing mental health during the pandemic. This study underscores the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the psychological impact of Covid-19 in high-risk communities

Abstract

The addition of BKO (Chemical Drug Ingredients) to traditional medicines is no longer commonplace. This condition is raises serious health concerns if it is allowed to continue because it can cause damage to body organs, especially liver damage. The purpose of this study was to test whether traditional medicines (“jamu pegal linu”) sold at Pasar Tingkat Lamongan contain paracetamol or not. This is because this type of traditional medicine is widely sold in this market and has never been tested for the presence of BKO. The traditional medicine samples studied have criteria that are not listed the composition of the ingredients. The test for the presence of BKO (paracetamol) uses two methods, namely the color test by reacting with iron (III) chloride reagent and the TLC test. The results of the study showed that 1 out of 4 samples studied contained paracetamol. For further research related to the TLC test for the presence of paracetamol in traditional medicines, it is better not to use only one type of eluent comparison

Abstract

Urinary tract stones (UTC) are the occurrence of stones in the urinary tract organs. Environmental factors such as daily behavior, excess body weight, eating habits, and lack of fluid intake influence the occurrence of UTC. Hormonal, genetic, and anatomical factors can also play a role in its pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of urinary tract stone patients at Dr. H. Chasan Boesoirie Ternate Regional Hospital. This type of research is descriptive research with a cross-sectional approach research design. The data used are secondary data in the form of medical records of UTC patients in 2021-2023. This study obtained a total sample of 171 people, the distribution of patients was mostly male (67.8%), adult age group (≥19-<45 years) (39.2%), normal body mass index (BMI) (49.1%), high school education (58.5%), and civil servant/military/police/state-owned enterprises/regional-owned enterprises occupation (21.1%). Men are at higher risk of experiencing UTC, allegedly due to the role of hormones. Workload, sweat, and lack of fluids that are common in productive age are risk factors for BSK. Obesity triggers urinary tract stones through increased uric acid, decreased urine pH, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Education level can affect the risk of BSK. Work can be a risk for BSK due to sun exposure to poor lifestyle

Abstract

Malaria remains a major public health problem in tropical regions, including Indonesia’s Papua Province, which bears one of the highest national burdens. This study analyzes the spatial distribution of malaria and identifies key socioeconomic, geographic, and demographic predictors in Papua in 2022 using Bayesian spatial modeling. Secondary data from 28 districts/cities were analyzed with a Bayesian spatial model using the BYM2 formulation and Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). Significant spatial disparities were identified, with high-risk clusters in the northeast and central regions. The number of polyclinics showed a significant negative association with malaria incidence, indicating a protective effect. Conversely, regional income and average years of schooling were positively associated with malaria, possibly reflecting increased mobility, detection bias, and development-related ecological change. These findings highlight strong spatial heterogeneity and multifactorial drivers of malaria transmission. Bayesian spatial modeling provides important insights for policy planning and supports the need for geographically targeted, multisectoral interventions, strengthening primary healthcare infrastructure, and context-sensitive development strategies to reduce malaria burden.

Abstract

Stable angina pectoris class I is a cardiovascular condition requiring long-term therapy, significantly contributing to medication costs for patients and the National Health Insurance (JKN). This study, titled “The Impact of Comorbidities in Stable Angina Pectoris Class I Patients on Medication Costs: A Case Study at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, December 2023,” aims to analyze drug cost distribution based on therapeutic regimens (preventive, first-line, and second-line treatments) among patients with and without comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design with retrospective data from medical records, 300 outpatients diagnosed with stable angina pectoris class I were selected through purposive sampling according to specific criteria. Data collected included demographics, comorbidity profiles, therapeutic regimens, and drug costs. Multiple linear regression was applied to determine the effect of comorbidities on medication expenses. The findings are expected to describe medication cost distribution across therapeutic lines and reveal the impact of comorbidities on outpatient treatment costs. Results may serve as input for BPJS Kesehatan and hospitals in evaluating cost efficiency and highlight the importance of preventing comorbid conditions to reduce treatment expenses.

Abstract

Nurses play a vital role in providing nursing care, especially in intensive care units. Low levels of nursing teamwork can contribute to the occurrence of missed nursing care, which refers to nursing actions that are delayed or not performed. Given that patients in intensive care units require comprehensive and continuous care, optimal nursing teamwork is essential to ensure the quality of patient care. This research aimed to determine the relationship between the level of nursing teamwork and the incidence of missed nursing care in patient care in the intensive care units of dr. Soebandi General Hospital, Jember. Method: This research was non-experimental quantitative study with a correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 72 active nurses who worked in the intensive care units of RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: The results of the analysis showed a moderate level of teamwork and low missed nursing care with a significant negative correlation between the level of nursing teamwork and the incidence of missed nursing care, with a p value <0.05 (0.000 <0.05) and a correlation coefficient of -0.404. Conclusion: The bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between teamwork and missed nursing care. Hospitals need to support nurse training programs, particularly in enhancing teamwork skills.
