Abstract

Self-medication is an effort to prevent and treat diseases without consulting a doctor, with housewives as the main actors. Factors that influence self-medication are knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of housewives in Denpasar towards self-medication. The method used is descriptive observational with a cross-sectional approach. Respondents numbered 100 people who were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed in the form of a frequency distribution table. The majority of respondents were 26-35 years old (60%), had a college/diploma education (68%), and worked as private employees (39%). The most frequently used medicine was cough and cold medicine (37%). The results showed that 67% of respondents had high knowledge, 58% had a positive attitude, and 92% had good behavior in self-medication. It is hoped that the results of this study will encourage rational self-medication practices, with the support of the government and health institutions in comprehensive education programs, including drug classification. The government and related agencies, including health education institutions, are trying to strengthen self-medication knowledge improvement programs, which not only focus on DAGUSIBU (can, use, store, dispose), but also drug classification and others.

Abstract

Dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. Studies on the prevalence and risk factors of dermatitis in Indonesia remain limited. To analyze the prevalence, demographic distribution, and the relationship between occupation and types of dermatitis in a dermatology clinic from 2020 to 2024. This retrospective study utilized medical record data of dermatitis patients who visited a dermatology clinic from 2020 to 2024. The variables examined included age, gender, occupation (2020–2023), case type (new/existing), and dermatitis diagnosis. Statistical analysis was conducted using the chi-square test to identify the relationship between occupation and dermatitis diagnosis. There was a significant decrease in dermatitis prevalence from 9.75% during the 2020–2023 period to 4.63% in 2024. The 25–44 year age group had the highest number of cases, with a predominance of female patients. The chi-square test showed a significant association between occupation and dermatitis diagnosis (χ² = 70.259; p < 0.05). Dermatitis remains a significant health issue with a distinct demographic distribution. Improvements in data collection and diagnosis classification are necessary for a better understanding and the development of effective prevention strategies. These findings have important implications for clinical practice and health policy in Indonesia, particularly in terms of workplace prevention and management of dermatitis.

Abstract

This study analyzed the differences in levels of knowledge and attitudes towards HIV/AIDS between adolescent boys and girls and encouraged them towards more targeted interventions. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected through a survey of 300 respondents aged 15–19 years in urban and rural areas. The results show that adolescent girls tend to have a higher level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention compared to adolescent boys. However, positive attitudes towards people with HIV/AIDS are higher in adolescent boys. Factors such as access to information, parental education, and peer influence play a significant role in shaping knowledge and attitudes. Based on these findings, the intended intervention needs to consider gender differences to improve the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention programs. Programs for adolescent boys can be focused on improving basic knowledge, while programs for adolescent girls require the stress of the importance of empathy and stigma reduction.

Abstract

The low achievement of hypertension services in the work area of the Padangsidimpuan City Health Office needs to be analyzed on the level of knowledge and attitude of patients, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, and the support of health workers. System components are also analyzed to find out how input, process and output elements are in hypertension services. The research method combines quantitative and qualitative methods sequentially. A sample of 107 respondents was taken proportionally random sampling in the hypertensive population aged ≥ 15 years. The results of the study revealed that 42.1% of patients had low knowledge, 62.6% of patients had a negative attitude, and 57% of the support of health workers was negative. In the system analysis, (input elements) are known to be inadequate in the availability of human resources and the availability of funds. It was concluded that public attitudes, support of health workers, human resources and inadequate budgets have a relationship with low hypertension service achievement. The author's recommendations include the importance of improving public attitudes through more optimal education. The role of the government must be more decisive on the availability of human resources and consistently provide support for the hypertension program budget.

Abstract

Patient satisfaction is a crucial indicator in assessing the quality of health services in Community Health Centers (Puskesmas). As the primary healthcare providers at the community level in Indonesia, Puskesmas play a vital role in ensuring accessible, affordable, and comprehensive health services. High patient satisfaction not only reflects the effectiveness of healthcare delivery but also influences patient adherence to medical recommendations, trust in the healthcare system, and overall public health outcomes. Therefore, understanding the factors that determine patient satisfaction is essential for improving service quality and formulating effective healthcare policies. Quality health services in Community Health Centers are one of the main indicators in increasing patient satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the determinants of patient satisfaction with Community Health Center services in Indonesia using secondary data from the 2017 Health Manpower Research (Risnakes). The research design uses a quantitative approach with Spearman Rank correlation analysis to see the relationship between independent variables, such as speed of service, friendly attitude of officers, communication, patient rights, and quality of health service facilities, to the dependent variable, namely patient satisfaction. The results showed that speed of service had the most dominant influence on patient satisfaction (r = 0.792; p < 0.05), followed by quality of service facilities (r = 0.473; p < 0.05) and the right to choose health services (r = 0.283; p < 0.05). Other factors, such as friendliness of officers, communication, and confidentiality of patient information, showed a weak but significant relationship. Overall, the independent variables contributed 99% to the dependent variable. This study emphasizes the importance of improving the efficiency of services and physical facilities in Community Health Centers to improve patient satisfaction. These findings are expected to be a reference in formulating better health service policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome characterized by insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia, and hypertension, is a significant health concern often associated with obesity and Diabetes Mellitus. Regular consumption of nuts has been suggested to mitigate some of these conditions. This study investigates the effects of almond and peanut consumption on oxidative stress, plasma lipids, body weight, glucose, and blood pressure in Wistar rats. Wistar rats were divided into four dietary groups: standard diet (ST), high-fat diet (HF), high-fat diet with almonds (HFA), and high-fat diet with peanuts (HFP). The treatment lasted for 8 weeks, during which body weight was monitored weekly. Blood pressure measurements and retro-orbital blood samples were collected before and after the treatment. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured using ELISA and TBARS methods. Blood lipid profiles and glucose levels were analyzed using enzymatic methods. Statistical tests used the oAnova followed by Posthoc LSD. The HF group exhibited significant increases in body weight, blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, MDA, and blood pressure, with reduced SOD levels. Conversely, the HFA and HFP groups showed moderated increases in these parameters compared to the HF group. Both nut-supplemented groups had significantly lower MDA levels and higher SOD activity, indicating reduced oxidative stress and enhanced antioxidative defenses. Almonds and peanuts can reduce body fat, improve lipid profiles, and stabilize blood glucose levels, suggesting their potential role in promoting metabolic health and reducing cardiovascular risk. Further research should explore the long-term benefits and the specific bioactive compounds responsible for these effects.

Abstract

The adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) has significantly enhanced healthcare efficiency, accuracy, and data accessibility. However, successful EMR implementation is highly dependent on top management support. This study examined the role of leadership in facilitating EMR effectiveness at Amanda Hospital, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed with a cross-sectional design, involving 55 respondents comprising administrative staff, IT personnel, and healthcare professionals. Data were collected through structured surveys, interviews, and observations. The results indicated a strong positive correlation between top management support and EMR effectiveness. Leadership commitment played a crucial role in resource allocation, policy enforcement, and staff training, all of which contributed to successful EMR adoption. System usability and training availability were identified as key moderating factors, influencing user adaptation. Despite improvements in data accuracy, infrastructure limitations and system downtimes emerged as critical challenges. The findings emphasize the need for continuous managerial involvement, structured training programs, and robust IT infrastructure to sustain EMR effectiveness. This study provides valuable insights for healthcare institutions aiming to optimize EMR implementation by integrating technical, managerial, and policy-driven strategies.

Abstract

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) has transformed healthcare services by improving accessibility, efficiency, and patient data management. However, user satisfaction remains a significant challenge, affecting the successful adoption and utilization of EMR systems. This study evaluated EMR user satisfaction at UPTD Puskesmas Baros, Kota Sukabumi using the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) model, which assesses five key factors: content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 120 healthcare professionals, and the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results indicated that format had a significant negative impact on satisfaction, suggesting usability issues related to system interface design. While content and accuracy were positively correlated with satisfaction, their effects were not statistically significant. Ease of use and timeliness showed weak correlations, indicating that system efficiency remains a concern. The findings highlight the need for user-centered design improvements and workflow integration strategies to enhance EMR usability. Future research should explore additional factors influencing satisfaction and investigate the long-term effects of system modifications.
