Abstract

  Introduction. Hypertension is widely recognized as a silent killer and risk factors of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Within Denpasar City, the prevalence of hypertension remains notably elevated. Surveillance systems constitute an indispensable instrument for the ongoing monitoring and control of hypertension. The present study sought to evaluate the hypertension surveillance system operating within the jurisdiction of the Denpasar City Health Office during 2025. Method. A qualitative case study design was used. Data collected through in-depth interviews conducted with non-communicable disease program officers at the Denpasar City Health Office and at four community health centres (Puskesmas) selected via simple random sampling. The data analysed with descriptive analysis. Result & Analysis. The result shows that the hypertension surveillance system was operational yet fell short of optimal performance. Principal constraints were identified in the areas of limited human resource capacity, excessive dual workloads among frontline staff, and fragmented reporting mechanisms. The ASIK application was frequently subject to technical disruptions, lacked integration with the existing E-Puskesmas system and depended on staff’s personal devices. Furthermore, only a subset of community health volunteers demonstrated the capability to perform independent data input. The system performed adequately in acceptability and representativeness; however, significant deficiencies were observed in the domains of simplicity, timeliness, and stability. Conlusion. Strengthening is needed in human resource development, digital system integration, provision of adequate supporting infrastructure, and structured training programs for community health volunteers to improve system effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Introduction. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a degenerative knee condition, represents a major Indonesian public health issue because it consistently damages patients’ quality of life. Recent studies have explored the intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma and oxygen-ozone therapy as potential treatments for knee osteoarthritis. This review aimed to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection compared to oxygen-ozone therapy for treating knee osteoarthritis patients. Method. The reporting methodology of this work followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards. A literature search was conducted through PubMed and Google Scholar by combining several keywords, including PRP Injection with oxygen-ozone therapy for patients affected by KOA. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (ROB 2) tool was employed to assess the risk of bias. Result&Analysis. The meta-analysis included 251 participants from these 4 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) the results indicated no statistically significant difference between PRP injection and oxygen-ozone therapy in terms of the visual analog scale score and the mean difference in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale at the 1-month follow-up. However, a significant difference was observed between the two interventions in the WOMAC subscales for stiffness and physical function. Discussion. This meta-analysis shows that KOA patients might achieve better pain relief together with improved function outcomes from PRP injections than from oxygen-ozone therapy based on joint stiffness and functionality WOMAC scores.

Abstract

Introduction. The Hajj pilgrimage is among the largest religious mass gatherings globally, in which the embarkation phase serves as the final health risk control point before pilgrims depart for Saudi Arabia, integrating health examination, istithaah assessment, fitness to fly determination, vaccination, environmental sanitation, and catering oversight as a unified safety system. Method. This study applied an integrative literature review with descriptive document analysis using two official 1447 H/2026 Hajj embarkation surveillance documents from the Directorate of Surveillance and Health Quarantine, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, supplemented by peer-reviewed literature. Analysis combined descriptive statistics, content analysis, narrative synthesis, and cross-document triangulation. Result & Analysis. All twenty embarkation units reported through SINKARKES at full compliance, covering over five hundred flight groups and more than two hundred thousand registered pilgrims. Most pilgrims carried comorbid conditions, yet the majority were classified as eligible or eligible with accompaniment under the istithaah framework. Illness and hospitalisation were the dominant reasons for deferred and cancelled departures. Vaccination occurred primarily at the region of origin, while environmental sanitation and catering inspections achieved full compliance across all units. Discussion. The embarkation phase functions as a structured pre-event risk control mechanism within the mass gathering health framework, wherein health examination, aggregate surveillance, vaccination verification, and environmental and food safety oversight collectively constitute a comprehensive instrument of pilgrim safety prior to international departure.

Abstract

Introduction. Suckermouth catfish (Pterygoplichthys pardalis) is among the most prominent invasive exotic fish species in Indonesian urban waters, with its dominance in DKI Jakarta Province particularly evident along the Ciliwung River system subjected to sustained anthropogenic pressure. Method. This study employed a systematic narrative review of peer-reviewed journal articles, institutional reports, undergraduate theses, and official government documents, with sources selected against explicit inclusion criteria covering relevance, methodological clarity, and policy value. Result & Analysis. The dominance of suckermouth catfish in Jakarta is sustained by tolerance for degraded water quality, high reproductive fecundity, and dietary flexibility. A fish reinventory of the Ciliwung River between 2023 and 2024 identified the species among the five most abundant of 37 recorded, confirming that invasive dominance persists despite overall improvements in species richness. Microplastic particles were detected in the gills and digestive tract of specimens from South Jakarta, and ectoparasites were recorded in fish from the same urban habitat, indicating a layered environmental health risk associated with utilisation of the species as a food source. Discussion. Suckermouth catfish functions simultaneously as an invasive species and as an ecological indicator of urban river degradation. Effective control requires an integrated ecosystem-based approach prioritising water quality improvement, adaptive harvesting, habitat restoration, and cross-sectoral governance.

Abstract

Introduction. In rural areas, several residents have died suddenly with chest pain and shortness of breath, some before reaching medical care, a pattern likely associated with sudden cardiac arrest. Reported reasons for delayed care include lack of transportation and self-treatment at home. This study analyzed factors influencing patients' decisions to seek care during an Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) attack. Method. This quantitative, cross-sectional study involved 94 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Independent variables were education, economic status, access to health care facilities, family support, and the health care system; the dependent variable was patients' decision to seek care at a health care facility. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with Spearman's Rho test at alpha less than or equal to 0.05. Result & Analysis. Significant relationships were found between all five factors and patients' decisions to seek care during an ACS attack: education (p = 0.047, r = -0.205), source of financing (p < 0.001, r = -0.366), access to health care facilities (p = 0.037, r = 0.215), family support (p = 0.041, r = -0.211), and the health care system (p = 0.001, r = -0.483). Discussion. Education, economic status, access, family support, and the health care system each significantly shape patients' decisions to seek care during an ACS attack. Qualitative research is recommended for deeper understanding of these decisions.

Abstract

Introduction. Hospital accreditation is widely used to assure quality and patient safety, yet evidence on its association with clinical outcomes remains inconsistent, and the role of risk adjustment in producing fair performance comparisons is still underdeveloped, particularly in Indonesia. Method. This article presents a conceptual synthesis and evidence-mapping framework built on literature identified to date, guided by Joanna Briggs Institute principles and reported following PRISMA-ScR; the definitive search, screening, and full-text selection process remains underway, and the final search dates, eligibility parameters, and protocol registration have not yet been finalized. Result & Analysis. Mapped evidence spans multiple study designs and health systems and shows that accreditation is more consistently associated with structural and process measures than with hard clinical outcomes such as mortality and readmission, while risk-adjustment practice increasingly incorporates demographic, clinical, and social variables that can materially change hospital performance classification. Discussion. These patterns indicate that transforming accreditation into outcome-based accountability requires methodological change, not only conceptual reorientation, with risk adjustment serving as the mechanism linking clinical outcomes to fair institutional comparison. For Indonesia, integrating outcomes into accreditation is more realistic as a staged process, supported by stronger data quality, interoperability, and validated risk-adjustment models suited to national conditions.

Abstract

Introduction. Access to health services is a constitutional right, yet geographic and demographic barriers, distance to referral hospitals, traffic congestion, and a large chronic-disease population, continue to constrain access in Bali. Government hospitals have responded with home medicine delivery services, but this innovation raises an unresolved question in Administrative Law regarding the validity of hospital authority to organize service outside the health facility. Method. This study uses normative legal research, combining statute, conceptual, and limited case approaches. Primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials were analyzed descriptively-qualitatively and prescriptively to evaluate the legal basis for medicine delivery and its implications for patient safety. Result & Analysis. Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD) hospitals hold broader flexibility for third-party cooperation than Non-BLUD hospitals, yet neither possesses explicit attributive authority to delegate medicine handover to non-medical couriers. This delegation shifts a professional pharmaceutical act into a mere factual act, bypassing mandatory Drug Information Services and compounding risks to medication quality, patient data confidentiality, and institutional accountability. Two 2026 Ministerial Regulations reorganizing hospital and health-supply governance leave this authority gap unresolved. Discussion. These findings indicate that legal certainty and patient safety in third-party medicine delivery cannot rest on institutional flexibility alone. A dedicated Ministerial Regulation of Health or Governor Regulation of Bali is needed to establish operational standards, ensuring hospital authority and patient safety advance together as this service model expands.

Abstract

Introduction. Rising ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption among adolescents poses public health concerns due to its potential links to obesity and early cardiometabolic risk. This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence on the association between UPF intake and overweight, obesity, adiposity, and cardiometabolic indicators in adolescents aged 10–19 years. Method. A systematic review of observational studies was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and other relevant databases. Study selection, data extraction, and bias assessment were independently performed by at least two reviewers. Result & Analysis. Higher UPF consumption was consistently associated with overweight and obesity (pooled OR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.36–1.95) and several adiposity indicators, whereas associations with metabolic markers showed greater variability due to heterogeneity in study design, dietary assessment, outcome definitions, and confounding control. Discussion. This review provides an adolescent-specific synthesis linking UPF exposure to adiposity and metabolic disturbances. The findings highlight the need for standardized methodologies and further prospective studies to clarify causal pathways and inform targeted preventive strategies.

Abstract

Introduction. Delayed emergency recognition, limited first aid knowledge, communication difficulties, and barriers to ambulance access may hinder timely prehospital care. This study aimed to develop and preliminarily evaluate a web-based emergency response platform for prehospital first aid. Method. A research and development study guided by the ADDIE framework included needs analysis, platform design and development, expert validation, revision, and preliminary user evaluation. Needs were identified through literature review and focus group discussion. The platform integrated first aid education, emergency communication, location sharing, and ambulance activation. Content and media were assessed by experts, followed by community evaluation of application quality and technology acceptance. Result & Analysis. Needs assessment identified first aid information, emergency communication, location sharing, and ambulance access as key requirements. The platform included eleven educational modules covering emergency preparedness, victim assessment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, medical emergencies, trauma and bleeding, burns, poisoning, disaster preparedness, home safety, road safety, and emergency activation. Expert and community evaluations showed favorable content, media, application-quality, and technology-acceptance ratings. Discussion. The platform demonstrated promising preliminary feasibility and acceptance as a digital approach to supporting community first aid and prehospital emergency access. Further real-world evaluation is required to determine effects on emergency activation, first aid performance, prehospital response, and patient outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction. Adults undergoing maintenance hemodialysis may experience persistent symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, itching, pain, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and decreased health-related quality of life. Non-pharmacological complementary interventions have been explored as supportive approaches to routine dialysis care. This study describe complementary non-pharmacological interventions for adults undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Research Methods. Employed a narrative literature review approach based on eight study summaries obtained from coursework documents. Information was organized according to author, year, study design, sample, intervention, comparator, duration, and outcomes. The findings were analyzed descriptively and synthesized to identify the types of interventions and their reported effects on patients undergoing hemodialysis. Data were recorded by author, year, design, sample, intervention, comparator, duration, and outcomes. The PICOST framework was used as an additional structure to clarify the clinical question. Result&Analysis. The eight studies included aromatherapy massage or lavender application (n=2), music-based interventions (n=2), acupressure (n=2), and foot reflexology (n=2). Outcomes measured included fatigue, sleep quality, pruritus, cannulation pain, anxiety, depression, stress, blood pressure, patient satisfaction, and health-related quality of life. Study summaries generally reported improvements in at least one outcome measure. However, variations in design, measurement instruments, and follow-up duration limited comparisons between interventions. Discussion. Complementary interventions have the potential to support the care of hemodialysis patients focused on symptom management. However, the available evidence does not yet confirm the superiority of any particular interventio. Future research should use a systematic review approach to map variations in complementary interventions and identify existing evidence gaps.
