Abstract

The Progress Test (PT) is a standardized assessment tool used in medical education to evaluate cumulative knowledge and predict academic achievement, including Grade Point Average (GPA). This narrative review aims to examine the relationship between PT scores and the GPA of medical students. The literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, and manual sources, yielding 101 articles. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 44 full-text articles with free access were reviewed, and 10 articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The selected studies discuss the impact of PT on learning strategies, knowledge retention, academic stress, and GPA outcomes. Most studies (9 out of 10) reported a positive correlation between PT scores and GPA, indicating that PTs can reflect students' cognitive development and academic readiness. However, factors such as test structure, learning approaches, and students’ understanding of PT purpose may influence its effectiveness. Overall, this review supports the role of PT as a formative and summative tool in assessing and enhancing academic performance.

Abstract

Background: Malaria remains a significant public health concern, particularly in endemic regions, is frequently associated with anemia in children. Accurate hemoglobin measurement is crucial for diagnosing anemia, especially in resource-limited settings. This study compares the accuracy of SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer with Hemocue HB301 System for hemoglobin measurement among children in malaria-endemic areas. Objective: To determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR-), pretest odds, post-test odds, and overall accuracy of the SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer compared to the Hemocue HB301 System. Method: This cross-sectional diagnostic study involved 325 children aged 6-18 years in Kualuh Leidong District. Secondary data were obtained from a previous study conducted in August 2024, using a total sampling technique. Result: The mean hemoglobin level measured by SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer (14,22±2,21 mg/dL) was higher than that measured by Hemocue HB301 System (13,45±1,63 mg/dL), with significant difference (p=0,001). The prevalence of anemia detected by SD Biosensor and Hemocue was 12,3% and 11,4%, respectively. The SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer demonstrated a sensitivity of 70,27%, specificity of 95,14%, PPV of 65%, NPV of 96,14% and an overall accuracy of 92,31%. Conclusion: The SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer exhibited relatively low sensitivity but high specificity compared to Hemocue HB301 System in measuring hemoglobin levels among children in malaria-endemic areas. Further research is needed to compare both devices against the gold-standard automated hematology analyzer and to identify the factors influencing measurement accuracy. Keywords: Anemia, Hemocue HB301 System, Hemoglobin, Malaria, SD Biosensor Standard G6PD Analyzer

Abstract

The world's population, including Indonesia, is currently undergoing an aging process, characterized by an increase in the number and proportion of elderly individuals. The aging process leads to changes in physical health, sleep patterns, psychosocial well-being, and cognitive function in the elderly. Cognitive impairment poses a serious problem for older adults due to its physical, psychological, social, and economic impacts. Effective interventions can provide holistic support to elderly individuals with cognitive impairment, helping them to live better and more meaningful lives. This research aims to analyze the influence of aerobic exercise and cognitive stimulation on the improvement of cognitive function in the elderly. The research method used was an experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique. The study sample consisted of 34 elderly individuals who met the inclusion criteria. The research instrument used the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) to measure the cognitive level of the elderly participant. Data were processed using SPSS and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed that the average score of cognitive function experienced a significant increase between before and after the intervention, with a p-value of 0.000. Based on the findings of this study, aerobic exercise and cognitive stimulation have a positive influence on the improvement of cognitive function in the elderly.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially hypertension, are the leading cause of premature death worldwide, with a high prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. In Indonesia, hypertension poses a major health challenge, particularly in coastal areas where diets are high in sodium. This study aims to explore the efforts made by individuals with hypertension in managing their blood pressure. A qualitative study with a case study approach was conducted in Kluet Selatan, South Aceh, in November 2024. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 12 participants, including hypertension patients, family members, health workers, and community leaders. Data were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and key themes related to hypertension management. The results revealed that patients had initiated dietary changes, increased physical activity, and practiced stress management. However, they encountered challenges such as financial limitations, ingrained eating habits, and restricted access to health facilities. Family involvement and the use of traditional remedies were found to support hypertension control. Despite these efforts, persistent social, cultural, and economic barriers hinder sustainable behavior change. Limited health education and lack of access to specialized care also affect long-term hypertension management in this setting.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels above normal, with random blood glucose levels ≥ 200 mg/dl and fasting blood glucose levels ≥ 126 mg/dl. This study employed a quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental design and an equivalent control group design approach. The study utilized power analysis with consecutive sampling techniques. Data collection techniques involved distributing questionnaires to 74 diabetes mellitus patients in the Onolalu Health Center Working Area, South Nias District. Data analysis techniques used independent t-test statistical analysis and presented in the form of a T-test table. The results of the study indicate that there is an influence of self-care behavior on blood sugar control levels in type II diabetes mellitus patients in the Onolalu Health Center Working Area, South Nias Regency, with a Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.024 < 0.05. Therefore, in the independent sample t-test, it can be concluded that the null hypothesis (HO) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant (statistically significant) difference between the average blood sugar levels of type II diabetes mellitus patients in the intervention group and the control group.

Abstract

Health is defined as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being that enables every individual to lead a socially and economically productive life. One of the initial efforts in treatment is the practice of self-medication. Self-medication is the independent use of medication without supervision or direct consultation with a health professional, with the aim of addressing health complaints experienced. The purpose of this study was to examine the description and risk factors of self-medication in Indonesia and globally. This research method is a descriptive observational study using a literature review design, with the following databases: Wiley Online Library, PubMed, and ScienceDirect From 2021 to 2025, a total of 25 articles were reviewed. The search strategy for articles in Wiley Online Library, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect used four keywords: "Self-medication"; "Drugs"; "Remote Areas"; and Risk Factors." Search results that met the criteria were then subjected to article analysis. Self-medication is common in various parts of the world, especially in areas with limited access to healthcare. This practice is increasingly prevalent in Indonesia, particularly in remote areas such as border and coastal areas. These areas face numerous challenges, including difficult-to-reach locations, limited healthcare facilities, and a shortage of medical personnel. These conditions encourage people to self-medicate without the supervision of healthcare professionals. This self-medication practice carries significant potential risks, such as inappropriate medication use, which can lead to increased drug resistance and other health problems. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors influencing self-medication in remote areas to effectively mitigate its negative effects.

Abstract

Drug abuse is one of the serious public health problems in Indonesia, especially because it can increase risky sexual behavior for HIV/AIDS transmission. Transmission of HIV can occur not only through the use of injection needles but also through unsafe sexual contact (not using condoms) with fellow injecting drug users or between injecting drug users and FSWs. This study aims to analyze risky sexual behavior in the drug user population at the Palembang City Drug Rehabilitation Center Foundation. This study is a descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The research instrument used a questionnaire based on the 2023 Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey (STBP) of the Indonesian Ministry of Health 7. The study sample consisted of 130 people, selected based on the study's inclusion criteria. The majority of respondents were male (100%), age >29 years (63.8%), senior high school (67.7%), unmarried (60.8%), and had a permanent residence (96.2%). Then, the age of first using drugs was 15-19 years (55.4%), with a duration of use >5 years (63.8%), and they did not use injectable drugs (94.6%). From sexual behavior, 56.9% had had sex (vaginal), 28.5% with a permanent female partner, 13.8% with a paid woman. The analysis showed a significant relationship between age, marital status, age of first drug use, and knowledge of HIV/AIDS risk behavior. In contrast, education, current residence status, selling or buying sex, duration of drug use, injection drug use and attitudes were not significantly related. Education efforts and prevention programs need to be more focused on factors that have been proven to have an influence.

Abstract

Waiting time is one of the indicators in evaluating the quality of outpatient services in hospitals. Long waiting times are often the main complaint of patients and have the potential to reduce satisfaction and effectiveness of services. This article aims to review the available literature on patient waiting times and identify factors that contribute to waiting times for outpatient services. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) flow by collecting articles from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases published between 2019 and 2024 with the keywords " outpatient", "waiting time" and "hospital", as well as in Indonesian: "waktu tunggu, perawatan jalan" and "poliklinik". Based on the analysis results, 20 articles were selected from the 130 articles selected that met the inclusion criteria and were subsequently analysed and classified using the Donabedian theoretical framework, which consists of three components: structure, process, and outcome. The analysis results indicate that structural factors, such as limited medical personnel, inadequate infrastructure, and inefficient queuing systems, are the primary causes. In the process aspect, doctor delays, lengthy administrative processes, and a lack of service system integration also contribute to lengthening waiting times. Meanwhile, outcome factors are closely related to patient perceptions and satisfaction levels. The study's conclusions suggest that improving outpatient wait times necessitates a comprehensive approach that encompasses enhancing service structure, process efficiency, and prioritising patient outcomes.

Abstract

Anemia in adolescent girls is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in Bogor Regency. The population in this study were adolescent girls aged 11–13 years who were selected through simple cluster sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and hemoglobin level measurements to determine anemia status. The instrument used was a dietary questionnaire with a validity test (r count = 0.23901 <0.36 1) and the reliability of the dietary questionnaire Cronbach's alpha value = 0.8346 (>0.6). Data analysis was performed using chi-square statistical tests and logistic regression. Adolescents with poor dietary patterns were the most likely to experience anemia, amounting to 125 adolescents or 42%. The chi-square test obtained a p-value = 0.001 (p <0.05), meaning there is a relationship between dietary patterns and the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls in Bogor Regency in 2025. Adolescents with knowledge of balanced diets tend to have a lower risk of experiencing anemia.
