Abstract

Polypharmacy is a common phenomenon in geriatric patients and is strongly associated with aging and the presence of multiple comorbidities. In the elderly population, the simultaneous use of several medications increases the risk of negative outcomes, including higher healthcare costs, adverse drug reactions, drug–drug interactions, poor medication adherence, functional decline, and geriatric syndromes. Older adults are particularly prone to polypharmacy, which considerably heightens the risk of drug interactions, especially among those with multiple chronic conditions. The probability of drug–drug interactions escalates in direct proportion to the number of medications prescribed, as geriatric patients generally receive more prescriptions compared to younger populations. This study employed a Literature Review approach with a Narrative Review design. Polypharmacy is highly prevalent among geriatric patients and is significantly linked to disease burden, adverse effects, drug interactions, and increased treatment costs. Elderly patients with multiple comorbidities taking several medications concurrently are at heightened risk of harmful drug interactions, with the likelihood rising alongside the number of medications consumed. Geriatric patients are particularly vulnerable to polypharmacy, which substantially increases the risk of drug–drug interactions. The greater the number of medications prescribed, the higher the potential for adverse outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality and patient experience on inpatient satisfaction at Dr. Abdul Aziz Regional General Hospital, Singkawang. A quantitative approach was used, with a survey of 165 respondents. Service quality was categorized as good (score 3.7), particularly in the dimensions of reliability, assurance, empathy, and responsiveness. However, the physical evidence dimension was categorized as fair. Patient experience was rated as good (score 3.5), particularly in the hospital environment dimension. Specifically, the dimensions of pain management, medication communication, and discharge information were categorized as fair and need improvement. Patient satisfaction with the implementation of the code of ethics for professional service standards was rated as good, while the implementation of health service standards was categorized as fair. Statistical analysis showed that both service quality (β = 0.510; t = 7.515; Sig. 0.000) and patient experience (β = 0.382; t = 5.633; Sig. 0.000) had a positive and significant effect on patient satisfaction. Service quality had the most dominant influence on patient satisfaction. Therefore, comprehensive and continuous improvement in service quality is highly recommended to optimally enhance patient satisfaction.

Abstract

in completing tasks. High workloads can lead to increased fatigue among workers at PT. Simpang Kiri Plantation Indonesia, which operates in the palm oil plantation sector. This study aims to analyze the level of fatigue experienced by workers involved in loading Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) using physiological methods and the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Index (SOFI).Workers are required to perform under demanding physical conditions, with an average lifting load of 15-30 kg per load. The analysis results indicate that the workers' fatigue level falls within the moderate category, with a percentage of 100%. The highest dimension of fatigue is found in sleepiness, with a score of 10, followed by physical exertion with a score of 6.5. Additionally, lack of motivation and physical discomfort each have scores of 6.5 and 5.8, respectively, while lack of energy is recorded at the lowest value of 5.5.These findings provide important insights for improving work techniques and managing workloads within the company, as well as serving as a reference for further research aimed at reducing work fatigue.

Abstract

Hypertension in pregnancy is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, with serious complications such as preeclampsia, eclampsia, stroke, and even death. Data in Kotamobagu City in 2025 showed that 59 of 295 pregnant women (13.9%) experienced hypertension. Non-pharmacological efforts, such as herbal-based complementary therapies, are still rarely used due to lack of knowledge among the public and health workers. The research method used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group design. A sample of 30 respondents was divided into three groups: red ginger (n=10), lemongrass (n=10), and control (n=10). The research instruments included an aneroid sphygmomanometer, a stopwatch, a water thermometer, an observation sheet, and an intervention SOP. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Kruskal-Wallis with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that red ginger foot baths reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 22 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 14 mmHg (p=0.007; p=0.004), while lemongrass reduced systolic blood pressure by 27 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 11 mmHg (p=0.004; p=0.008). The control group did not show a significant decrease (p>0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference between the groups (p=0.000 systolic; p=0.032 diastolic), with lemongrass being more effective on systolic blood pressure, while red ginger was more dominant on diastolic blood pressure. In conclusion, red ginger and lemongrass foot baths are effective as a safe complementary therapy for hypertensive pregnant women, and have the potential to be a supporting intervention for antenatal care.

Abstract

One of the national indicators of hospital quality is compliance with doctor's visit time, the achievement of the National Quality Index (INM) at the inpatient installation of Tk. III dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital in 2023 is 67%. This value is below the quality indicator standards that have been regulated by the Minister of Health Regulation No. 30 of 2022. This study is aimed at analyzing the adherence to doctor's visit time at the inpatient installation of Tk. III Dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital. The research used the mixed method method, the first stage was quantitative research with stratified random sampling techniques, then qualitative research was carried out with in-depth interviews with 14 informants, field observation and document review. Compliance with the doctor's visit time at the inpatient installation of Tk. III dr. Reksodiwiryo Padang Hospital based on research was obtained at 40%. The causes of non-compliance with doctor's visit time are the lack of the number of organic/permanent specialist doctors and the absence of an alarm to remind the doctor's visit time, the absence of clear regulations related to decrees, SOPs, and doctor's visit policies, the absence of a clear doctor's visit schedule, in addition to the DPJP's lack of understanding of the Regulation of the Minister of Health on visit time and the lack of optimal follow-up from monitoring and evaluating the compliance of doctor's visit time in inpatient installations.

Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide and ranks fourth according to GLOBOCAN 2022. Its incidence in Asia, including Indonesia, continues to increase each year. Prostate cancer risk factors include both modifiable variables like blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) and non-modifiable variables like age and family history. This study aimed to determine the association between BMI and blood pressure with the incidence of prostate cancer. This study employed an analytical observational design using a retrospective hospital-based case-control approach. A total of 68 samples were collected, comprising 22 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as the control group and 46 patients with prostate cancer as the case group. BMI and blood pressure data were collected from medical records and categorized based on the classifications from the WHO and PERHI (2019). The chi-square test was employed for the bivariate analysis with a significance level of p < 0.05. There was no significant associationfound between blood pressure and the incidence of prostate cancer (p = 0.304), while there was a significant association between BMI and the risk of prostate cancer (p = 0.023). The OR value of 0.581 with a 95% CI (0.205–1.645) indicated that blood pressure was not a statistically significant factor. These findings imply that hormonal alterations, persistent inflammation, and elevated insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) activity may raise the risk of prostate cancer in overweight individuals. In conclusion, BMI shows a significant association with prostate cancer incidence, whereas blood pressure does not demonstrate a significant association.
