Abstract

Background: HPV DNA testing is increasingly recommended as a primary method for cervical cancer screening due to its high sensitivity and strong ability to detect high-risk HPV infections associated with cervical cancer. However, implementation remains challenging in many settings, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, due to health system, economic, and sociocultural barriers. This narrative review highlights key challenges, opportunities, and future directions for HPV DNA testing in cervical cancer screening programs. Methods: A narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, complemented by relevant guidelines and reports from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). Keywords included HPV DNA testing, cervical cancer screening, primary HPV screening, self-sampling, and implementation barriers. The evidence was synthesized thematically to summarize major barriers, innovative strategies, and future perspectives. Results: HPV DNA testing offers superior sensitivity compared with cytology and VIA, enabling earlier detection of precancerous lesions and allowing longer screening intervals. Major challenges include limited laboratory capacity, high costs, supply chain constraints, insufficient workforce training, weak referral and follow-up systems, and sociocultural factors such as stigma and low screening acceptance. Key opportunities include HPV self-sampling to expand screening coverage, risk-based triage using HPV genotyping to reduce unnecessary referrals, and digital health integration to improve tracking, monitoring, and continuity of care. Conclusion: HPV DNA testing has strong potential to strengthen cervical cancer screening and support elimination efforts, but successful scale-up requires addressing system-level barriers, ensuring sustainable financing, improving follow-up pathways, and expanding equitable access through innovations such as self-sampling and risk-based strategies.

Abstract

Background: Public health centers are integral to providing accessible healthcare services, particularly in local communities. Ensuring public satisfaction with these services is critical to building trust and improving service delivery. This study aims to assess public satisfaction with registration counter services at the Public Health Center, identify key challenges, and propose solutions to enhance service quality. Method: This study aims to utilize a quantitative approach by collecting primary data through structured questionnaires administered to patients visiting the General Clinic and registration counter in December 2024. Secondary data were obtained from previous satisfaction reports and integrated health center records. The data were analyzed using a Likert scale to measure satisfaction levels and identify key problem areas. Result: The overall public satisfaction index was calculated at 80.46%, categorized as good. However, several challenges were identified, particularly regarding long waiting times at the registration counter and difficulties in using the newly implemented online registration system. The lowest satisfaction scores were recorded for “Access to Online Services” (76.33%) and “Service Time” (76.06%). Contributing factors included limited staff availability during peak hours, insufficient training for both staff and patients on the online system, and inadequate physical infrastructure, such as overcrowded waiting areas and insufficient seating. Conclusion: Addressing operational inefficiencies and optimizing online registration systems can significantly improve public satisfaction. Recommendations include increasing staff availability, providing training on the online system, and enhancing physical infrastructure. Regular evaluations and continuous improvements are necessary to maintain high-quality service delivery.

Abstract

Background: Early detection of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) cases is essential to reduce transmission and improve treatment outcomes. However, case detection efforts at the community level may be limited by various individual and service-related factors. Objective: This study aimed to analyze factors associated with efforts to detect suspected pulmonary TB cases in the working area of Olak Kemang Public Health Center in 2024. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 120 respondents living in the health center coverage area. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic characteristics and factors related to TB suspected-case detection efforts. Univariate analysis was used to describe respondent characteristics, and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test was applied to assess the association between independent variables and detection efforts, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents were female (62.5%) and aged 25–44 years (48.3%). Bivariate analysis showed that education level (p=0.006), exposure to TB-related information (p=0.001), knowledge about TB (p<0.001), attitude toward TB screening (p<0.001), access to health services (p=0.002), and perceived stigma (p<0.001) were significantly associated with efforts to detect suspected pulmonary TB cases. Meanwhile, sex (p=0.458) and age (p=0.291) were not significantly associated with detection efforts. Conclusion: Efforts to detect suspected pulmonary TB cases were strongly influenced by modifiable factors including education, information exposure, knowledge, attitude, service accessibility, and stigma. Strengthening TB health education, expanding community outreach, improving access to services, and reducing stigma are recommended to enhance early detection and support TB control programs.
