Abstract

Introduction: Wait times for outpatient pharmacy services are an indicator of service quality that influences patient satisfaction and compliance. However, in many hospitals, wait times for both over-the-counter and prescription medications still exceed Ministry of Health standards, with maximum wait times of ≤ 30 minutes for non-prescription medications and ≤ 60 minutes for prescription medications. Objective: To identify factors that influence waiting time for outpatient pharmacy services. Methods: This study used a Systematic Reviews design to identify factors that influence waiting time for outpatient pharmacy services by following the PRISMA guidelines. Results and Discussion: Structural factors contributing to long wait times include suboptimal pharmacy staff ratios, limited technological infrastructure, and limited waiting room capacity. From a process perspective, delays result from manual prescription verification, inefficient workflows, and time-consuming administrative processes. Outcome-wise, long wait times lead to decreased patient satisfaction and potentially decreased medication adherence. Interventions such as the implementation of electronic queuing systems, integration of pharmacy information systems, task redistribution, and service automation have been shown to reduce wait times by 20–50%.  Conclusion: Reducing waiting times requires a comprehensive strategy through structural improvements, process optimization, and continuous monitoring of outputs.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia in adolescent girls is a public health problem that requires serious attention. One recommended intervention is the regular administration of iron-fortified iron tablets (IBF). Objective: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the TTD distribution program in Indonesia. Methods: The research method uses a systematic review using the PRISMA guidelines. After deduplication and screening, 10 articles met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Results and Discussion: Health education, cadre empowerment, and school environmental support have been shown to be effective in improving knowledge, attitudes, and some adherence to iron supplement consumption among adolescent girls. Barriers in urban areas include low adherence due to perceived side effects and unsupportive dietary patterns, while in rural areas, the main obstacles are limited access to distribution and healthcare resources. Conclusion: Program success is influenced by communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Therefore, intervention strategies must be tailored to regional characteristics to maximize the effectiveness of anemia prevention in adolescent girls in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia remains a public health problem in Indonesia, particularly among adolescent girls due to increased iron requirements during growth and menstruation. As an effort to prevent anemia, a national iron supplementation program is implemented in schools, but compliance remains low. Objective: To determine the implementation of iron supplementation in adolescents in urban and rural areas based on a review of the latest literature as an effort to prevent anemia. Methods : A literature review was conducted of publications from 2020–2025 obtained from national and international databases that met the inclusion criteria. Results and Discussion: Distribution coverage in Indonesia is >60%, but compliance ranges from 14–47%. Enabling factors include teacher support, ongoing education, and digital reminders, while barriers include tablet taste/odor, side effects, forgetfulness, and logistical constraints. International studies show that direct supervision can increase compliance to >80% and reduce the prevalence of anemia. Conclusion: Strengthening iron supplementation programs requires prioritizing strategies to increase adherence through school-based approaches, family engagement, digital innovation, and increased ease of consumption.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia in adolescent girls remains a public health problem in Indonesia, while the Iron Supplement (TTD) program has not been running optimally due to constraints in planning, procurement, and distribution. Systematically reviewing the scientific evidence related to the planning and procurement of TTD for adolescent girls in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a systematic review method based on the PRISMA guidelines. Article searches were conducted through PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, DOAJ, and Garuda during the period 2020–2025. Of the 212 articles found, 15 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using a narrative approach based on the following themes: program planning, distribution, and compliance. Results : The study results show that the planning and procurement of iron tablets remains inaccurate, distribution is inconsistent, and adolescent girls' compliance with iron tablets remains low. Inhibiting factors include budget delays, weak cross-sectoral coordination, a lack of regional regulations, and minimal education and environmental support. Innovations through teacher empowerment and the use of digital media have been shown to improve knowledge and compliance. Conclusion: Improved data-driven planning, optimized logistics distribution, and innovative educational strategies are needed to increase the effectiveness of the TTD program in reducing the prevalence of anemia among adolescent girls in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: DIVA Score, known as a level of difficulty guidance for intravenous access, is designed to assist healthcare workers in reflecting the likelihood of successful PIVC implantation or the risk with certain outcomes in patients and provide information for their decision-making. Approximately 90% of hospitalized patients receive peripheral intravenous catheters, to administer fluids, parenterals and medications. However, for healthcare professionals, difficulties in obtaining devices are sometimes frustrating, challenging, and time-consuming, as well as significant costs associated and often requiring the involvement of other healthcare professionals for further action. In addition, some attempts are associated with complications such as extravasation and phlebitis, including peripheral intravenous tissue depletion and treatment delays. Objective: Looking for further action for failed PIVC insertion. Methods: A search was performed in research for DIVA Scores in Adults. Twelve publications were identified. Results: USG guided has great results in successful attempts for PIVC in high DIVA Score patients. Conclusion: USG can be the treatment of choice for Difficult Intravenous Access patients instead of medical workers' experience or internal factors from the patients.

Abstract

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a communicable tropical disease caused by filarial worms and transmitted through mosquito bites. The disease can lead to lymphedema, hydrocele, and permanent disability. This article presents an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, management, and prevention of LF. The global program GPELF has contributed to a decline in cases through mass drug administration (MDA) and morbidity management. In Indonesia, the prevalence remains high, particularly in eastern regions. Early detection and comprehensive management are essential to support the sustainable elimination of filariasis.

Abstract

Abstract Background: TORCH infections (Toxoplasma gondii, “Others,” Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus) are responsible for 2–3% of congenital anomalies worldwide and remain a significant cause of miscarriage, stillbirth, and lifelong disability. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical, yet conventional methods—serology and PCR—are costly, infrastructure-dependent, and often inaccessible in low-resource settings. Objective: This narrative review evaluates current TORCH diagnostic approaches and explores the potential of Affinity-Switchable Lateral Flow Assays (ASLFA), with emphasis on adapting the technology for IgG avidity testing to improve maternal screening. Content: Conventional serology provides information on IgM and IgG status but cannot reliably differentiate acute from past infections. IgG avidity testing refines interpretation, particularly for CMV and toxoplasmosis, by distinguishing recent primary infections from reactivations. However, avidity assays are laboratory-based and unavailable in many regions. ASLFA introduces a conditional “signal-on” design, expanding LFA utility to small molecules and functional readouts. Incorporating chaotropic reagents into ASLFA strips could enable on-site avidity measurement, while pathogen-specific antigens, such as CMV glycoprotein B (CMV34), may enhance specificity. Conclusion: ASLFA platforms integrating IgG avidity offer a promising, low-cost, point-of-care alternative to conventional tests. With further validation, they could democratize TORCH screening and improve maternal–fetal outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period in the development of reproductive health. Improper reproductive health behaviours can lead to a variety of long-term problems. Objective: This study aims to analyse the factors that affect reproductive health behaviour in vocational school adolescents. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research sample was 125 students of SMK Wirakarya 2 Ciparay who were selected using stratified random sampling. The research instrument is in the form of a structured questionnaire to measure knowledge, attitudes, and reproductive health behaviours. Data analysis uses Chi-square test and Odds Ratio calculation. Result and Discussion: This study was obtained from respondents who had sufficient knowledge (46.4%), positive attitudes (54.4%), and positive behaviours (56.8%). There was a significant relationship between knowledge and reproductive health behaviours (p=0.011; OR=2.404) and a very significant association between attitudes and reproductive health behaviours (p=0.001; OR=3,809). Attitude is the most dominant factor influencing adolescent reproductive health behaviour. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes play a significant role in shaping adolescent reproductive health behaviours. Attitude has a stronger influence than knowledge. A comprehensive educational program is needed that not only increases knowledge but also forms a positive attitude towards reproductive health.
