Abstract

The Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) is a policy within the National Health Insurance (JKN) transformation program aimed at achieving equal and standardized inpatient services. Implementation of this policy requires hospital readiness in terms of management and the fulfillment of 12 facility criteria. This study aims to analyze the readiness of KRIS implementation at Bendan Regional Hospital, Pekalongan City, based on management functions. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, in-depth interviews, and document review with management and related units. The results show that planning has been carried out in stages and based on priorities, organization is carried out through cross-unit coordination, and the implementation of most criteria has been met, especially in bed density, room allocation, room temperature, lighting, and basic facilities. However, several criteria such as ventilation, bed spacing, curtains/partitions, bathrooms, accessibility, and nurse call still require improvement. Control is carried out through internal monitoring and external evaluation, although record keeping still needs to be improved. In general, Bendan Regional Hospital is in the partially ready category for KRIS implementation, so strengthening the roadmap and gradually improving infrastructure is necessary.

Abstract

Bath soap is defined as a sodium compound with fatty acids used as a body cleanser, which generates foam and does not cause skin irritation. Beyond cleansing the skin from external dirt, soap can also function to eliminate bacterial skin infections. Prior investigations have verified that the saponins, tannins, and flavonoids concentrated in guava leaves exhibit robust antibacterial activity. The objective of this study was to determine the physicochemical properties of a solid soap formula containing the ethanol extract of guava leaf and precipitated calcium carbonate, including texture, color, pH, moisture content, hardness, and other relevant properties. This study employed a laboratory experimental research method. The procedure involved the preparation of guava leaf (Psidium guajava L.) simplicia, followed by extraction with a 70% ethanol solvent via maceration. Subsequently, the solid soap formulation was created using the guava leaf extract and precipitated calcium carbonate, followed by evaluation and antibacterial activity testing against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The pH evaluation test yielded an average value of 9.09 for the blank formula, while the average pH values for the active formulas were 9.13 for FI, 9.30 for FII, 9.23 for FIII, and 9.12 for the positive control (comparator). Based on the antibacterial testing results, the solid soap containing guava leaf ethanol extract demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The inhibition zone diameters were recorded as 0 mm for F0 (blank), 11.6 mm for FI (10% concentration), 10.9 mm for FII (15% concentration), 11 mm for FIII (20% concentration), and 11.3 mm for K+ (comparator). The research indicates that the ethanol extract of guava leaves combined with precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) can be successfully formulated into a stable solid soap that meets the physical quality standard requirements according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).

Abstract

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that is often experienced by children and requires long-term treatment, one of which is valproic acid. Although effective in controlling seizures, this drug often causes weight gain, which can affect patient compliance. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors of epilepsy and the relationship between the duration of valproic acid use with body weight and body mass index (BMI) in children with epilepsy at RSU Haji Medan. This quantitative study used a descriptive analytical design. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the independent variable (duration of valproic acid use) and the dependent variable (body weight in children with epilepsy). This study was observational because the data were obtained through observation and measurement. The study sample consisted of 33 respondents. The results showed that of the 33 children with epilepsy at RSU Haji Medan, the majority were female (57.6%) and aged 1-5 years (45.45%). All respondents had been taking valproic acid for 6 months, with 93.9% experiencing an increase in body weight and body mass index (BMI). The most dominant risk factors for epilepsy were head injury (21.21%) and complications at birth (21.21%). A comparison of data before and after valproic acid consumption showed significant changes in children's weight, height, and BMI. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between the duration of valproic acid use and increased weight and BMI in children with epilepsy, with the main risk factors being head injury and birth complications. Routine monitoring by medical personnel and parents, as well as further research with larger samples and additional variables, is recommended.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia is a major global and national health threat among female adolescents, including in Kedungwuni. Despite extensive iron tablet distribution programs, compliance rates remain highly problematic. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of compliance with Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) tablet consumption through the Health Belief Model (HBM) lens. A quantitative cross-sectional design was conducted among eleventh-grade female students within the work area of Puskesmas Kedungwuni 1. A sample of 250 respondents was selected via proportional random sampling. Data were gathered using validated structural questionnaires and analyzed using Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact tests (? = 0,05). The results showed a statistically significant relationship between perceived susceptibility (p = 0,024)  and perceived barriers (p = 0,018) with IFA tablet consumption compliance. Respondents who felt susceptible to the impacts of anemia had higher motivation to comply, whereas perceived barriers such as nausea, dizziness, and the fishy odor of the tablets became the main obstacles that reduced compliance. Variables of knowledge (p = 0,934), perceived severity (p = 0,921) perceived benefits (p = 0,634) self-efficacy (p = 0,122), and family support (p = 473) were not significantly associated (? > 0,05). Compliance is heavily driven by how vulnerable adolescents feel toward anemia and how they manage sensory barriers such as nausea or foul smell.

Abstract

The health drink market has evolved significantly, driving the development of innovative dosage forms like effervescent powders. Purple passion fruit (Passionflowerwas.edible) is a natural ingredient rich in bioactive antioxidants, including carotenoids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and vitamin C. This study aims to formulate an effervescent powder utilizing purple passion fruit juice as an alternative health drink. An experimental laboratory design was employed to evaluate various physical properties and consumer acceptance. Passion fruit pulp was purposely sampled from Gajah Village, Karo Regency. The formulated effervescent granules were evaluated for organoleptic properties, foam height, dissolution time, pH levels, and hedonic preference using 12 semi-trained panelists. The results indicated that passion fruit juice can be successfully transformed into a stable effervescent powder. The preparation met all standard requirements for quality effervescent powders, showing an acceptable pH, rapid dissolution time, adequate foam height, and high acceptability in hedonic testing. In conclusion, the combination of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sodium bicarbonate yields an optimal effervescence reaction. Future studies should focus on long-term stability testing and developing this formulation into a compressed effervescent tablet.

Abstract

Community-based noncommunicable disease (NCD) surveillance data are increasingly utilized as secondary sources in public health research. Variations in dataset structure, variable nomenclature, data types, and coding systems across surveillance periods frequently impede data integration and subsequent analyses. This study developed a harmonized community-based NCD surveillance dataset using secondary data collected at UPTD Puskesmas Johar Baru, Jakarta, Indonesia, from 2019 to 2021. The methodology included dataset inventory, variable mapping, standardization of variable names, data types, and coding systems, data cleaning, derivation of analytical variables, and dataset integration using Python with the Pandas and NumPy libraries. Three surveillance datasets, comprising 196,949 observations, were successfully integrated. The harmonization process identified 158 unique variables, which were standardized into 17 analytical variables while preserving all observations. The resulting dataset offers a consistent and interoperable structure suitable for epidemiological studies, health program evaluation, and other public health research. Furthermore, the harmonization framework established in this study may serve as a practical reference for standardizing multi-period health surveillance datasets and promoting the broader use of secondary health data in future public health research
