Abstract

Effective communication between doctor and patient is needed to obtain optimal results for patient recovery. The GMC Health Center clinic applies Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to support comprehensive health services. EMR has a positive impact on doctors but is not so felt by patients. This study aims to analyze patient perceptions of EMR use by doctors in GMC Health Center Clinic. This research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. Sampling by accidental sampling with a total of 91 patients. Research variables include patient perceptions of the use of EMR by doctors and patient satisfaction. Data analysis was carried out in univariate and bivariate with the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test using SPSS Software.   The results showed that patients who were satisfied with the use of EMR by doctors mostly had a positive perception of EMR (76.6%). Pearson Product-Moment correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between patients' perceptions of the use of EMR with patient satisfaction (p-value<α=0.05; r=0.689). The perception of the EMR communication function has a greater correlation with patient satisfaction (72%) than the perception of the clinical function of EMR (48.2%). The conclusion is patients have a positive perception of the use of EMR by doctors and also proven by the high level of patient satisfaction. Doctors should continue to improve communication and focus on patients when using EMR. Keyword:   Electronic Medical Records, Patient, Perception ,

Abstract

Unhealthy housing conditions will hurt human health, one of which is ARI. Based on data from the Stabat Health Center, ARI is among the top 10 diseases. Based on 2019 data, there were 1572 cases; the increase in cases occurred from 2020 to 1692, with 206 cases in Sidomulyo Village. Moreover, the physical condition of the houses in Sidomulyo still needs to meet the requirements of a healthy home. Based on the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) report, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia increased from 2016 to 2018, namely 27.5% in 2016, 29.6% in 2017, and 30.8% in 2018 (Riskesdas, 2018). Factors causing stunting are divided into direct causal factors and indirect causal factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between household drinking water quality and the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59. Observational research with a case-control design on children aged 6-59 months in the Talun Kenas Health Center Area, Deli Serdang Regency. The sampling technique was carried out by consecutive sampling with a total sample of 42 subjects in each group. Stunting was categorized based on TB/U score < -2 SD according to KEPMENKES RI anthropometric standard table. Drinking water quality was tested using a sanitarian kit—bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test by looking at the Odds Ratio (OR). The results of the bivariate analysis show that the quality of household drinking water is associated with stunting in children aged 6-59 months (p=0.004; OR=4.144), meaning that the quality of drinking water that does not meet the requirements increases the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months. This study concludes a significant relationship between the quality of household drinking water and the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is a global health problem, especially in developing countries, one of which is Indonesia. The incidence of resistance to the use of antibiotics in the treatment of typhoid fever can occur due to inappropriate use of antibiotics. This study aims to determine the impact of the application of clinical pathways on the quality and quantity of antibiotic use in typhoid therapy at FMC Bogor Hospital. This research is a descriptive analytic study conducted retrospectively which was analyzed using the Gyssens and ATC/DDD methods. The research data was taken from patient medical records for the period January-December 2018 and January-December 2020 which met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that from 115 medical records of typhoid fever patients, ceftriaxone was used as the most widely used antibiotic for typhoid therapy. The quality of antibiotic use as much as 40% was declared rational before the use of clinical pathways and as much as 57.3% after the use of clinical pathways (category 0), while the other 60% were irrational (categories I-VI) and after CP as much as 42.7% were included in category 0, the rest fall into the irrational category (Categories I-VI) which includes the use of antibiotics that are not appropriate for the administration interval, the use of antibiotics that are too long, the use of antibiotics that are too short, there are other antibiotics that are more effective, and there are other antibiotics that are less toxic /safer. The quantity of antibiotic use was stated to exceed WHO standards, namely the use of ceftriaxone by 81 DDD/100 patient days before the clinical pathway and 92.4 DDD/100 patient days after the clinical pathway. Based on the results of statistical tests, it was obtained 1) There were differences in the quality of antibiotic use between before and after the implementation of the clinical pathway in inpatients with typhoid fever at FMC Bogor Hospital; 2) There are differences in the quantity of antibiotic use between before and after the implementation of the clinical pathway in inpatients with typhoid fever at FMC Bogor Hospital. The results of this study are expected to be a consideration for the hospital as material for evaluation and improvement in order to increase the rationality of using antibiotics.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in West Sumatra Province indicates a greater number of cases and mortality. The spread of COVID-19 is related to the mobility of the population, so the potential for transmission between regions is difficult to control. This study aims to determine the local index used in evaluating the tendency for local spatial groupings and can show some form of spatial relationship. Spatial analysis were conducted on 2020 to analyze spatial distribution of Covid-19 in West Sumatera Province. Spatial relationship was assessed by Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA). Mapping can be done with the LISA cluster map. The data used is COVID-19 incidence data based on reports from district or city in West Sumatra Province in 4 June 2020. We used Open Geoda Software to analyze the spatial distribution. There is positive spatial autocorrelation and classification in hot spots, cold spots, and outliers in the spread of COVID-19 cases in West Sumatra Province. Hot spots were found in Padang City, Bukittinggi City, and Padang Panjang City. Cold spots also detected in several districts, that is West Pasaman, Pasaman, Payakumbuh, Solok, Padang Pariaman, Pariaman, Sawahlunto, and Sijunjung. The transmission of the COVID-19 case does not recognize regional boundaries, but the grouping of districts or cities based on regional vulnerability is important as part of local control efforts to allocate resources. Coordination and collaboration among local governments need to be strengthened in preventing transmission between regions and reducing the number of cases in vulnerable areas based on hot spots and cold spots from LISA cluster map. It’s necessary for intervention programs more focused and effectively. Keywords: COVID-19, Mapping, Spatial, Vulnerability

Abstract

Hallucinations are sensory perception disturbances that occur in the absence of external stimuli and can affect any sensory system. They can occur when a person's consciousness is strong or full. People who have hallucinations frequently believe that their surroundings are the source or cause of their symptoms. The goal of this study was to determine how families' knowledge and attitudes related to the care of patients with hallucinations at the Prof. Mental Hospital. Muhammad Ildrem Medan, M.D. Year 2022. The research design employed cross-sectional methodology and analytical research. A total of 98 people were randomly selected from the study population, which included the patient's family. To collect data, questionnaires were distributed. In data analysis, the statistical test for Spearman's rank was used. According to the findings of the study, there is a significant relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and family involvement in treating hallucination sufferers. A descriptive analytic method with a cross sectional design, a total sample of 98 respondents, an accidental sampling strategy, and a total population of 8,893 respondents were used in this study. According to the study's findings, there was a relationship between family participation and hallucinatory patients with a 95% confidence level of 0.38 (0.05) and a relationship between family attitudes and family participation with a value of 0.19 (0.05). It is hoped that respondents will increase and strengthen their influence on hallucinatory subjects by providing assessment, instrumental, informational, and emotional support.
