Abstract

Rohingya refugees from Myanmar in Bangladesh face significant challenges in accessing health services. This study examines factors that influence satisfaction with the quality of health care services in the destination country, Bangladesh. The secondary data from the “Rohingya Survey 2019,” which focused on social relationships, coping mechanisms, and views on relocation. The survey targeted 1,300 adults who arrived after August 25, 2017, with 1,277 respondents analyzed. Data were collected from March 1 to April 30, 2019, using quota sampling. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses, including binary logistic regression, were conducted to assess factors influencing satisfaction with health services. This study found that the majority of refugees were dissatisfied with health services. The key characteristics are female predominance among respondents, reliance on friends and neighbors for information, and dissatisfaction with the quality of education. All variables, including gender, news sources, perceptions of important figures, smoking habits, betel quid chewing habits, and satisfaction with education, were associated with satisfaction with health services. Multivariate analysis found that male refugees were 51% less likely to be satisfied with health services, refugees who received news from family were 69% less likely to be satisfied, and those who chewed betel quid were 30% less likely to be satisfied.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that still poses a major challenge for public health globally, including in Indonesia. Based on the Global Tuberculosis Report 2024, the number of TB cases continues to increase every year. One of the initiatives that supports TB eradication in South Sulawesi is the active role of the Tuberculosis Care Community Foundation (Yamali), which collaborates with the government, health facilities, and the community to reduce the prevalence of TB. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of collaboration and collaborative actions by the Yamali NGO in efforts to eradicate TB in South Sulawesi. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews and document reviews. Eight research informants were selected by purposive sampling based on their involvement in the TB eradication program. The results of this study show that the collaboration between the Makassar City Health Office, the Ministry of Health, the Regional Government, and Yamali has been effective. Treatment assistance programs, community empowerment, and new case discovery were found to have been implemented well. However, challenges related to case recording in the TB Information System Software (SITB) must be improved to cover all cases, including those carried out independently by patients. The sustainability of this collaboration is the main key to achieving the TB elimination target in Makassar City. We recommend making a policy for pentahelix collaboration i.e. government, business, civil society, academician and media

Abstract

Technological advances and accessibility influence the utilization of health services in today's world, but barriers still exist. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the utilization of maternal health services and the barriers that hinder access in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR). This study analyzed 2023 MICS data from 3,754 women in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, examining maternal health service utilization. The dependent variable was categorized as utilization or non-utilization, while the independent variables included demographics, geography, decision-making power, and health system factors. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis. This study found that of the 3,754 respondents, 2,930 people used health services to give birth. The chi-square test showed that age, education, residence, region, decision making, insurance ownership, and wealth index were significantly associated with using maternal health services. Multivariate analysis showed that higher education was the strongest predictor of health service use (OR = 20.90), with geographic factors, wealth inequality, and shared decision-making. Areas without road access and the poorest wealth groups were less likely to use services, while shared decision-making increased the likelihood by 45%. It is recommended that higher education be promoted, road access improved, and shared decision-making be encouraged to increase the utilization of maternal health services, especially among the poorest communities and those living in rural areas.

Abstract

Uterine contractions cause labor pain in the first stage and can be alleviated through non-pharmacological methods like effleurage massage and acupressure. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of effleurage massage and acupressure in reducing labor pain and improving labor efficiency. This analytical experimental study used an RCT design with 30 participants, and data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the ANOVA test. Both interventions significantly reduced labor pain during the first active phase of labor. The intervention group receiving a combination of effleurage massage and acupressure showed a more significant reduction in pain, with mean scores increasing from 2.27 (SD = 0.799) to 2.73 (SD = 0.594) and significant mean differences (3.44; 95% CI: 3.04–3.85 and 3.22; 95% CI: 1.79–2.88), with F-counts of 8.870 and 9.820 (p = 0.03). In the control group receiving acupressure alone, the mean scores decreased from 3.07 (SD = 0.799) to 2.93 (SD = 0.704), with mean differences of 2.33 (95% CI: 1.79–3.77) and 3.20 (95% CI: 2.64–3.76), F-counts of 8.310 and 9.034 (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively). The combination therapy proved more effective than acupressure alone in mothers giving birth in the first active phase

Abstract

Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes caused by single-gene mutations affecting insulin secretion, often presenting in young individuals. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene (MODY12), encoding the SUR1 subunit of the pancreatic β-cell K-ATP channel, are a known cause, though relatively rare (1-3% prevalence). This literature review summarized cases of ABCC8-MODY, detailing genetic/clinical features, differentiating it from Type 1 (T1DM) and Type 2 (T2DM) diabetes, and outlining treatments. A Google Scholar search (2020-2024) using keywords "ABCC8 gene," "diabetes," and "young age," followed by screening based on specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, yielded 7 relevant articles from an initial 1,010. The ABCC8 gene is crucial for insulin secretion via the K-ATP channel; mutations cause β-cell dysfunction and MODY12 with variable phenotypes. Misdiagnosis as T1DM/T2DM is frequent. Key MODY features include young onset (<25-35 years), strong family history, absence of pancreatic autoantibodies, persistent endogenous insulin production (detectable C-peptide), and often, high sensitivity to sulfonylureas (SUs). Accurate diagnosis requires meticulous history, clinical assessment, and definitive molecular genetic testing (e.g., NGS). Notably, patients with ABCC8-MODY typically respond well to SU therapy, making early, correct diagnosis vital for appropriate management. Identifying these genetic defects is paramount for distinguishing MODY from other diabetes types and optimizing patient care based on specific underlying pathophysiology and therapeutic responsiveness

Abstract

The nutritional status of toddlers is a critical indicator of sustainable human development. Disparities between urban and rural areas remain a major challenge for equitable child health in Indonesia. This study analyzed socio-economic and environmental factors' influence on toddlers' nutritional status, comparing urban and rural areas. A comparative survey design was used, with 60 respondents - 30 toddlers each from urban and rural areas. Data collection included socio-economic questionnaires, environmental checklists, and WHO Z-score anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed using regression tests and t-tests. Nutritional status (Z-scores) was significantly better in urban children (1.1 ± 0.3) than rural children (0.5 ± 0.4), (p = 0.000), indicating socioeconomic and environmental disparities between populations. Family income shows the strongest correlation with nutritional status (r = 0.632, p < 0.01) and dominates the multivariate model. Mother's education has a moderate correlation (r = 0.486, p < 0.05), as does environmental score (r = 0.458, p < 0.01), which is dominant in the multivariate context. These findings suggest socioeconomic conditions and environmental quality influence child nutritional outcomes, with income and sanitation being most impactful. The study concludes that toddler nutritional status is determined by interrelated socio-economic and environmental factors varying between urban and rural contexts. These findings underscore the need for region-specific interventions and multi-sectoral policies responsive to local needs.

Abstract

Adolescents are a population group vulnerable to various reproductive health risks due to limited access to accurate sexual health information and youth-friendly services. This study aims to explore the role of adolescent health services in promoting sexual health among adolescents. Using a narrative literature-policy review, the analysis was based on current literature and policy reviews regarding adolescent health promotion in Indonesia. The findings indicate that adolescent health services play a significant role in increasing awareness, knowledge, and preventive behaviors related to sexual and reproductive health. Key strategies include the provision of youth-friendly service facilities, health education using appropriate media, and peer counseling. However, various challenges such as lack of trained personnel, stigma in society, and limited adolescent participation hinder service effectiveness. This study emphasizes that in Indonesia, the need for multi-sector collaboration, improvement of health personnel competence, and the involvement of adolescents in the design of educational programs. Strengthening the capacity and accessibility of adolescent health services is crucial in Indonesia to improving the overall sexual health status of adolescents and preventing reproductive health problems at an early age.

Abstract

Banggai yam (Dioscorea alata), a local tuber cultivated in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, is known for its rich nutritional content, including complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, essential vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins and polyphenols. Although its nutritional potential has been well documented, its consumption safety, especially in processed forms such as powdered extract, requires toxicological validation. This study aimed to evaluate the acute oral toxicity of Banggai yam powdered extract using a murine model. This study had three treatment groups that received Banggai yam flour extract at different doses (1.95 g, 3.906 g, and 5.9 g) and one control group that received 1% CMC Na. Observations and measurements were analyzed using independent sample t-tests through SPSS software. The analysis did not show statistically significant differences between the treatment and control groups, with p-values of 0.55, 0.97, and 0.85, respectively. These findings indicate that Banggai yam extract does not produce acute toxic effects at the dose levels tested. In conclusion, in animal models, Banggai yam flour extract is considered non-toxic under acute exposure conditions. Further studies involving subchronic and chronic toxicity tests and evaluation in human subjects are recommended to confirm its broader safety profile and support its use as a functional food ingredient.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between health information quality management and patient safety performance, identifying significant factors influencing safety outcomes. A quantitative approach was used, with the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC) translated, culturally tailored, and validated for the local setting. The intervention consisted of comprehensive training in information quality, workflow alignment, and the implementation of standardized documentation procedures over 6 weeks. The study was conducted at Awet Muda Narmada Regional General Hospital in West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, with a sample size of 92 healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and health information managers. The results demonstrated a 46-point improvement (from 52 to 98 on a 100-point Likert-type scale) in the dimension of "Management Support for Patient Safety," with an average gain of 46 points after the intervention.  A paired t-test found a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores (p = 0.001), and linear regression confirmed a strong positive relationship between information quality and patient safety (y = 0.86x + 24.15), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.496. The study demonstrates that improving health information quality is associated with better patient safety outcomes. Practical implications include the need to incorporate information technology training, create non-punitive incident reporting systems, and optimize Electronic Health Records (EHR) to foster a stronger patient safety culture in hospital settings.

Abstract

Violence against women is a major public health problem globally and in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the handling of violence against women in farming families through a two-way communication approach based on traditional institutions in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. This qualitative study employed a two-way communication approach. Key informants included traditional figures (head of the Traditional Institution and several additional informants involved in and knowledgeable about violence against women in farming families, including village heads, hamlet heads, community leaders, women's figures/activists, religious leaders, and traditional leaders in Sigi Regency). The main instrument was an interview guideline, and the data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The causes of violence against women in farming families in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, were identified as economic problems, patriarchal culture, and education. Impacts experienced by victims included: psychological trauma (frustration, heartache, shame, mental pressure), physical trauma (bruises, wounds), family neglect (lack of support), and separation (divorce). Regarding the prevention of violence against women in farming families, the findings indicate that efforts focused on intervention after violence occurred, rather than proactive prevention. In terms of handling violence, two patterns emerged: initial handling by the family using a familial approach, and subsequent reporting through government channels (such as the village office followed by customary law) if the violence persisted or the familial approach was unsuccessful. Alternatively, some cases were directly reported to the village office without family negotiation
