Abstract

Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are a key population in the HIV epidemic in Indonesia but continue to face multiple barriers in accessing healthcare services, including stigma, lack of privacy, and limited facilities and human resources. Objective: This study aims to explore the perceptions of MSM living with HIV regarding the quality of healthcare services at community health centers (Puskesmas) in Medan City, as well as to identify the supporting and hindering factors in service utilization. Methods: This qualitative study employed in-depth interviews with 21 HIV-positive MSM and four VCT program officers at Puskesmas Helvetia, Padang Bulan, Teladan, and Medan Deli. Data were thematically analyzed through manual coding to identify key patterns and themes. Results: Services such as education, counseling, outreach, and peer support were perceived as beneficial, particularly due to collaboration with NGOs like Medan Plus, Galatea, and PKBI. However, challenges remain, including lack of privacy during registration and medication pickup, and fear of being recognized. Positive interactions with healthcare workers emerged as a key factor in fostering patient comfort and trust. Conclusion: Although healthcare services for HIV-positive MSM in Medan have been implemented relatively well, improvements are still needed, especially in ensuring privacy, comfort, and the active involvement of the MSM community in service delivery to enhance access, adherence, and their overall quality of life.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Kemoterapi merupakan penanganan preparate antineoplastic sebagai upaya untuk membunuh sel-sel tumor dengan mengganggu fungsi dan reproduksi seluler.

Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif menggunakan desain korelasi dengan rancangan penelitian cross sectional. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 82 responden serta pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil: Hasil analisa data menggunakan uji statistik Spearman-Rho didapatkan p value=0,001 dan r=0,375 artinya ada hubungan dukungan keluarga dengan resiliensi pasien kemoterapi, dengan kekuatan hubungan sedang dan arah positif artinya semakin baik dukungan keluarga maka semakin tinggi resiliensi pasien kemoterapi.

Abstract

Background: To deliver the fetus, placenta, and amniotic fluid, a cesarean section is a surgical operation that involves making an incision in the uterus and abdominal wall. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements can be used to detect hypotension. The Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) measurement, which measures the average arterial pressure that sustains constant blood flow to bodily tissues during the cardiac cycle, is typically used to evaluate hypotension in post-spinal anesthesia situations. Objective: This study aims to describe the MAP in patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia technique. Method: Descriptive observational methodology using a cross-sectional approach is employed. Using the entire sampling technique, 80 patients made up the research sample. Result: The majority of respondents, according to the data, were between the ages of 20 and 35, had a normal body mass index, and had no medical history. The majority of individuals had normal MAP levels prior to spinal anesthesia. After spinal anesthesia, at minutes 1, 2, and 3, the majority of patients experienced MAP in the optimal category. The decrease in MAP was caused by the effects of spinal anesthesia affecting vascular tone. The results of this study are expected to serve as a basis for decision-making in intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring. Conclusion: There are changes in MAP values in patients undergoing Sectio Caesarea after receiving spinal anesthesia. Before anesthesia, most MAP values were within the normal range. However, after the application of spinal anesthesia, the majority of patients showed optimal MAP values.

Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that leads to a permanent decline in kidney function. The primary treatment for CKD patients is hemodialysis; however, this procedure has the potential to impact their quality of life. Physical activity plays a significant role in supporting the improvement of quality of life among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Unfortunately, many of them face physical limitations and experience fatigue, which ultimately results in low levels of physical activity. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of physical activity and quality of life among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at Sentra Medika Hospital Cikarang. Methods: Using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, this study involved 65 participants selected through accidental sampling. Respondents filled out the IPAQ and KDQOL questionnaires to measure the variables studied. The collected data were analyzed using the Chi-square test to determine the relationship between physical activity and quality of life. Results: The majority of participants in this study exhibited light to moderate levels of physical activity. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between physical activity levels and patients’ quality of life, with a p-value of 0.000. A better quality of life tended to be found among patients who engaged in higher-intensity physical activity. Conclusion: The quality of life of hemodialysis patients can be improved through the significant role of physical activity. Therefore, educational efforts and appropriate interventions should be provided to encourage patients to remain physically active in order to support their overall well-being
