Abstract

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a serious medical condition that requires immediate management, as it can lead to high morbidity and mortality if not detected and treated promptly. Early detection of AHF is crucial in improving patient prognosis, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of death. Health education on early detection of acute heart failure is essential for healthcare workers, especially in Emergency Departments (ED), who are at the frontline of managing patients with emergency symptoms. This educational effort aims to raise awareness about the early symptoms of AHF, such as shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, swelling, and chest pain, as well as recognizing the risk factors that can lead to AHF, such as hypertension, diabetes, and a history of heart disease. With a better understanding of the symptoms and risk factors, healthcare professionals in the ED are expected to make faster diagnoses using appropriate diagnostic tools like electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiography, and biomarker testing. Early detection education also plays a vital role in informing the public about the importance of recognizing symptoms and seeking prompt medical care. Therefore, structured early detection education on acute heart failure will improve healthcare quality in the ED, accelerate patient management, and ultimately reduce mortality rates associated with acute heart failure.

Abstract

Early detection of emergencies in patients with catastrophic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure, is crucial for reducing mortality rates and improving the quality of care. The Early Warning Score (EWS) is a simple assessment method used to monitor vital signs and quickly identify potential emergencies. This community service program aims to educate the public, particularly patients' families, health cadres, and the general population, about the application of EWS. The activity involved 30 participants, utilizing a combination of material presentations, practical simulations, and evaluations through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed an average increase in participants' knowledge of 30%, from a pre-test score of 55% to a post-test score of 85%. Furthermore, 90% of participants provided positive feedback regarding the benefits of this program. The education on EWS has proven effective in enhancing the community's preparedness for emergency situations and is expected to be implemented more widely to support healthcare services at the community level.

Abstract

Catastrophic diseases, such as stroke, heart attack, and acute respiratory failure, are medical conditions that require immediate detection and treatment to reduce the risk of death and long-term complications. However, the limited number of medical personnel in recognizing early signs and delays in the diagnosis process are major challenges in handling these diseases. The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology offers innovative solutions to support medical personnel through a prediction and early detection system based on clinical data. This community service program aims to provide education to medical personnel regarding the use of AI in detecting catastrophic disease emergencies. The methods used include seminars, interactive training, and simulations of the use of AI-based software in patient data analysis. Evaluation was carried out by measuring the increase in participants' understanding and skills before and after training using questionnaires and case studies based on clinical scenarios. The results of this activity showed that medical personnel's understanding of AI increased significantly, with the majority of participants being able to interpret the results of AI predictions and integrate them into the clinical decision-making process. These findings indicate that education about AI can be a strategic step in increasing the effectiveness of handling catastrophic diseases in health facilities.

Abstract

Catastrophic illnesses, such as stroke, heart attack, and serious accidents, are medical conditions that require rapid and appropriate treatment to prevent death or disability. In rural areas, access to health services is often limited, and the readiness of primary care services in handling catastrophic emergencies is very important. Evaluation of the readiness of primary care facilities is needed to determine how effective these services are in dealing with urgent medical events. This study aims to evaluate the readiness of primary care services in handling catastrophic emergencies in rural areas. Specifically, this study aims to determine the facilities, resources, and skills of medical personnel available in handling emergency cases. This study uses a quantitative design with an observational analytical approach. Data were collected through surveys and interviews with related parties at primary care facilities in rural areas. Univariate analysis was conducted to describe the frequency distribution of variables related to service readiness, while bivariate analysis used the chi-square test to determine the relationship between certain factors (such as facilities, medical personnel training, and community readiness) with the ability of primary care services to handle catastrophic emergencies. The results of univariate analysis showed that most primary care services in rural areas do not have complete facilities to handle catastrophic diseases. Only 40% of facilities have basic equipment such as defibrillators and heart monitors, while 60% do not have adequate equipment. In terms of human resources, 50% of medical personnel in rural areas have not received special training to handle medical emergencies, and only 30% have training in handling catastrophic diseases. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between medical personnel training and the success of emergency management, with better results in facilities with trained medical personnel (p < 0.05). In addition, the readiness of the community to seek immediate medical help also had a significant effect on the success of treatment (p < 0.05)

Abstract

Sepsis is a systemic syndrome that results from an infection that causes an uncontrolled inflammatory response in the body. This inflammatory response can lead to tissue damage, organ dysfunction and even multiple organ failure. Sepsis can progress to septic shock, a condition where blood pressure is extremely low and fails to recover despite fluid administration. In Indonesia, sepsis is also a serious health problem, with prevalence increasing along with the development of infectious diseases. A study in Indonesian hospitals showed that sepsis is the leading cause of death in the intensive care unit (ICU). The incidence rate of sepsis in Indonesia is estimated to range between 10-20% of patients admitted to the ICU. Sepsis is a leading cause of death in hospitals, especially if not detected or treated quickly. Approximately 30-50% of patients with severe sepsis or septic shock will die if they do not receive appropriate treatment. Based on the data obtained from the pre-test and post-test, it can be seen that there is a significant improvement in the understanding and skills of health workers, which reflects the success of the training conducted. In the pre-test, the average comprehension score of the participants was 55%, while after the training it increased to 80%. With the application of knowledge about biomarkers and clinical parameters, early detection of sepsis is significantly improved.

Abstract

Cardiovascular emergencies are the leading cause of death globally and have a major impact on patients and their families' psychosocial well-being. Families often experience anxiety, emotional stress and uncertainty in emergency situations, making psychosocial support an important aspect in supporting better medical decision-making. However, many health workers lack the skills to provide effective psychosocial support. This training aims to improve the understanding and skills of health workers through education and clinical simulation. The methods used included a needs survey, educational sessions, clinical simulations to practice empathic communication, and pre-test and post-test evaluations to measure the effectiveness of the training. The results showed a significant increase in health workers' understanding of psychosocial assistance, with an average improvement of 30-38% on various indicators. As many as 85% of participants found the training very useful, while 80% stated that the simulation provided an experience close to real conditions. The simulation-based approach proved to be more effective than theory alone because it provided direct experience in dealing with critical situations. In conclusion, psychosocial training and simulation can improve the competence of health workers in providing emotional and psychological support for patients' families. Continuous implementation of this program is expected to improve the quality of holistic health services, reduce family anxiety, and strengthen the humanistic approach in medical emergencies.

Abstract

As they age, the elderly experience various declines in body system function which can increase the risk of developing various diseases. One of the health conditions most commonly suffered by the elderly is hypertension, which is one of the main causes of death in this age group. If not controlled properly, hypertension can cause serious complications which can be fatal for the sufferer. Therefore, the role of caregivers or family members is very important in helping elderly people manage hypertension effectively. The aim of this service is to improve the quality of life of elderly people suffering from hypertension. An intervention based on caregiver empowerment was carried out in the work area of ??the Deli Tua Community Health Center.  This program method begins with an initial measurement of the quality of life of the elderly before intervention is carried out. Furthermore, caregivers are given education and training regarding the management of hypertension in the elderly which is monitored via the WhatsApp group. This monitoring lasted for one month, after which the quality of life of hypertensive elderly was measured again to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. The results show a significant increase in the quality of life of the elderly after caregiver empowerment. Before the intervention, the majority of elderly people, namely 54%, had a poor quality of life. However, after the program was running and interventions were implemented, this figure changed drastically, with 88% of elderly people showing an improvement in their quality of life. These results confirm that community service programs that focus on empowering caregivers in managing hypertension have a positive impact in improving the quality of life of elderly people suffering from this disease.
