Abstract

This research aimed to examine the influence of Minimum Service Standards (MSS), which include human resources, facilities and infrastructure, management and governance, and budget, on the revisit intention of general outpatients at RS Grandmed Lubuk Pakam in 2026. The study applied a quantitative method using a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all general patients who had made repeat visits, with a sample of 95 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered using structured questionnaires and analyzed through the Chi-square test for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The results of the univariate analysis indicated that most respondents considered human resources (75.8%), facilities and infrastructure (80.0%), management and governance (60.0%), and budget (71.6%) to be in poor condition. In addition, the majority of respondents showed a low level of revisit intention (54.7%). The bivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations between human resources (p=0.006), management and governance (p=0.017), and budget (p=0.007) with revisit intention. Meanwhile, facilities and infrastructure did not show a significant relationship with revisit intention (p=0.081). The multivariate analysis revealed that human resources had a significant impact on revisit intention (p=0.041), whereas management and governance and budget variables were not statistically significant. In summary, human resources were identified as the most influential factor affecting revisit intention among general outpatients. Therefore, efforts to improve staff competence, professionalism, and service attitudes should be prioritized in order to strengthen patient loyalty and promote repeat visits.

Abstract

A Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Batu Bara District. The success of stunting reduction is not only determined by technical interventions but is also influenced by the effectiveness of management functions and the level of community empowerment. This study aims to analyze the effect of basic management functions on community empowerment in stunting prevention efforts in the working area of the Batu Bara District Health Office. This study employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 250 stunting program implementers and posyandu cadres, with a sample of 167 respondents selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses. The results showed that all aspects of management functions planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, had a significant effect on community empowerment (p < 0.001). The most dominant variable was controlling (PR = 5.84), followed by actuating (PR = 5.70), planning (PR = 4.32), and organizing (PR = 3.23). In conclusion, management functions play an important role in enhancing community empowerment in stunting prevention. Therefore, strengthening management functions, particularly in controlling and actuating, is necessary to improve the effectiveness of stunting prevention programs.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern, with treatment success rates that have not yet reached optimal levels. The success of TB treatment is not solely determined by the availability of anti-tuberculosis drugs, but is also influenced by the quality of support provided by Drug Swallowing Supervisors (DSS), particularly in terms of communication and emotional support. This study aimed to analyze the effect of DSS communication and emotional support on the success of pulmonary TB treatment at the Simangalam Public Health Center in 2025. This study used an explanatory research design with a cross-sectional approach and was conducted from October to December 2025. The study population consisted of 327 pulmonary TB patients, with a sample of 150 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and medical records. Data analysis included univariate descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that the treatment success rate of pulmonary TB was 64.0%. DSS communication had a statistically significant effect on treatment success (p-value=0.001; OR=6.644), , indicating that good communication increased the likelihood of successful treatment by approximately seven times. In contrast, emotional support did not show a significant effect. Effective communication plays a crucial role in improving patient adherence, whereas the limited impact of emotional support may be due to the long duration of TB treatment, reducing its effectiveness if not provided consistently. In conclusion, DSS communication is the most influential factor in the success of pulmonary TB treatment. It is recommended that public health centers enhance DSS capacity through training and implement standardized communication procedures.

Abstract

In the era of globalization characterized by increasing competition, the demand for improved hospital service quality continues to rise. Patients as healthcare service users have become more selective and critical in evaluating the quality of services provided. Therefore, hospitals are required to continuously enhance service quality through innovation and effective management. Service quality is not only determined by the availability of facilities and technology, but is also significantly influenced by the implementation of management functions, including planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC). The optimal application of these management functions can promote a more efficient, integrated, and patient-oriented service system.  This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design to analyze the relationship between POAC management functions and service quality at the Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic of Primaya Hospital Bekasi Utara. The study population consisted of 8,321 patients, with a sample of 90 respondents determined using the Slovin formula. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression.  The results showed that most respondents rated the implementation of management functions as good, including planning (66.7%), organizing (70.0%), actuating (65.6%), and controlling (74.4%). Service quality was also perceived as good by the majority of respondents (72.2%). Bivariate analysis indicated that all management function variables were significantly associated with service quality (p ≤ 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that planning, actuating, and controlling had significant effects on service quality, while organizing did not show a statistically significant effect. Among all variables, planning was identified as the most dominant factor.  In conclusion, the implementation of POAC management functions plays a crucial role in improving service quality, with planning as the most influential factor that needs to be continuously optimized.

Abstract

Clinical laboratories hold an important role in modern healthcare services because approximately 60–70% of medical decisions depend on laboratory examination results. Therefore, the accuracy of these results becomes a fundamental aspect that must be maintained through the implementation of comprehensive quality management. Laboratory quality is strongly influenced by three main phases, namely the pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic phases. Various studies show that most errors occur in the pre-analytic phase, such as incorrect patient identification, improper specimen collection, and unsuitable storage conditions. Thus, the ability of laboratory personnel to apply standard operating procedures (SOPs) becomes a crucial factor in efforts to improve result accuracy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between human resource competence, the implementation of Quality Assurance (QA), and Quality Control (QC) with the accuracy of laboratory examination results at Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital. The research used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and involved 30 laboratory personnel. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed a very strong relationship between human resource competence and examination accuracy (r = 0.938; p < 0.001), QA and accuracy (r = 1.000; p < 0.001), as well as QC and examination accuracy (r = 0.984; p < 0.001). These findings emphasize that good quality management—supported by competent laboratory personnel and consistent implementation of QA and QC—plays a major role in ensuring the accuracy of examination results. Regular quality evaluations are necessary to improve patient safety and support more accurate clinical decision-making.ongoing basis through improving laboratory personnel competence, ensuring consistent application of QA and QC at all stages of laboratory testing, and conducting regular quality evaluations to support patient safety and accurate clinical decision-making.

Abstract

Adolescents in Indonesia face complex nutritional challenges, primarily due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and excessive intake of sugar, salt, and fat (SSF), which contribute to an increased risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Nutrition education in schools is a strategic approach to fostering healthy eating behaviours. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of nutrition education on the consumption of real food using a lecture and question-and-answer method within the Red Cross Youth (PMR) community. This study employs a quantitative approach, using a quasi-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest design). A total of 82 PMR student members participated in completing the pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The educational material covered the definition and examples of real food, the health risks associated with ultra-processed foods (UPFs), restrictions on the consumption of sugar, salt, and fat (SSF), and how to read processed food labels. The instrument used to measure knowledge was a validated 15-item multiple-choice questionnaire completed via a Google Form link. Analysis using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a statistically significant difference in median pretest and posttest scores (p = 0.000). There was an increase in the median knowledge score from 83.33 to 100. A total of 53.66% of students improved their knowledge scores following the education. Nutrition education on real food, delivered through a lecture and question-and-answer method, proved effective in improving the nutritional knowledge of PMR members. PMR members are expected to act as peer educators by sharing knowledge and promoting healthy eating behaviours to their peers within the school community.
