Abstract

This study investigates the use of AI chatbots in Indonesian public hospitals to enhance healthcare service. By leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Human-AI Interaction (HAI) theories, these chatbots streamline administrative tasks, alleviate patient overcrowding, and improve communication between patients and healthcare providers. The objective of this research is to find out how AI chatbots contribute to improving patient care and access to medical services in Indonesian public hospitals. A systematic review of articles published between 2020 and 2024 was conducted using the PRISMA framework, with a focus on the implementation of AI chatbots in Indonesian hospitals. The findings highlight successful applications in hospitals such as RSUD M. Yunus and Muhammadiyah Hospital Palembang, where chatbots effectively manage patient inquiries and reduce the workload of healthcare staff. Furthermore, chatbots have played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing timely information to patients. Despite their advantages, challenges such as system integration and privacy concerns persist. This study offers valuable insights and proposes strategies to address these issues, emphasizing the potential of AI chatbots in improving healthcare efficiency and patient outcomes in Indonesian public hospitals.

Abstract

Background: The main modality for identifying cardiac chamber enlargement is echocardiography examination, but due to its limitations, posteroanterior (PA) chest X-ray is often used as an alternative method. Methods: This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted at Radiology Installation and Polyclinic of Integrated Heart Center of The Haji Adam Malik Central General Hospital in patients who came to cardiac polyclinic or emergency room of Integrated Heart Center of The Haji Adam Malik Central General Hospital and underwent posteroanterior chest X-ray and echocardiography who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the frequency distribution of each demographic variable and risk factor. In addition, the level of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, of PA chest X-ray to echocardiography in patients with heart problems was calculated. Results: The sensitivity of PA chest X-ray for LVH examination was 91.8% with a specificity of 84.6% and accuracy of 89%; for RVH examination was 90.9% with a specificity of 68.2% and accuracy of 85%; for LAH examination was 89.2% with a specificity of 74.3% and accuracy of 84%; and for RAH examination was 70.4% with a specificity of 86.3% and accuracy of 82%. Conclusion: PA chest X-ray examination showed good accuracy for identifying cardiomegaly and cardiac chamber enlargement, therefore can be used as an alternative method besides echocardiography examination.

Abstract

Aphasia is a neurological dysfunction that arises due to disturbances in the brain regions responsible for language processing. These areas are predominantly localized within the frontal cortex and the temporoparietal regions, which regulate both motor and sensory speech functions. Disruptions in these areas may result from ischemic conditions affecting the brain. Isolated cases of aphasia without other accompanying neurological deficits are rarely reported. This article presents a case study of a 66-year-old female patient with a history of chronic hypertension who presented to the emergency unit with a sudden onset of speech difficulties without any other neurological impairments. Initial examination revealed significantly elevated blood pressure at 220/110 mmHg, accompanied by severe headache. A diagnosis of Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) was supported by clinical findings that resolved within 24 hours and imaging from a non-contrast head CT scan, which showed normal brain parenchyma. The primary focus of initial management was the restoration of cerebral blood flow through the administration of neuroprotective agents and antiplatelet therapy, aiming to optimize cerebral perfusion and achieve clinical recovery of aphasia. This case analysis highlights the importance of prompt and appropriate management in hypertensive emergencies, emphasizing the detection of clinical signs of TIA or complete stroke, even in localized neurological deficits without additional accompanying symptoms.

Abstract

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic energy deficit is associated with 40% of maternal mortality in underdeveloped nations. An assessment of pregnant women's nutritional health may be done through several methods, including the Upper Arm Circumference (UAC) test. If the UAC measurement comes out less than 23.5 cm, it indicates that pregnant women's nutritional status is inadequate. Pregnant women's nutritional health might be positively or negatively impacted by their mothers' knowledge of meal selection. Babies born to mothers who do not get enough nourishment may be born with a host of issues. Objective: to learn how the nutritional status of pregnant women at the Johan Pahlawan Puskesmas is affected by factors including age, education, and knowledge level. Methods: This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection techniques are quantitative research. This research was conducted on 48 samples and was carried out from June 26 to July 4, 2024, on pregnant women at the Johan Pahlawan Puskesmas. The measuring instruments used were questionnaires and UAC test. The data analysis method used Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for the statistical test. Research Results: there is a relationship between age, education, and knowledge level to the nutritional status of pregnant women at Puskesmas Johan Pahlawan with a P-value age 0.014 < α ( 0.05), education with P-value 0.047 < α (0,05), knowledge with P-value 0.003 < α ( 0.05), respectively. Conclusion: there is a relationship between knowledge, age, education, and nutritional status in pregnant women in the work area of the Johan Pahlawan Puskesmas, West Aceh. Suggestion: It is expected that health services will provide health promotion activities for pregnant women in the work area of the Puskesmas and need to monitor the nutritional status of pregnant women every month, and it is necessary to identify other variables related to the nutritional status of pregnant women.

Abstract

Commercial noodles are generally made from wheat flour and eggs without adding fish, fruit, and vegetable extracts. Adding fish and red beet extract can increase the nutritional content and antioxidants in the resulting noodle product. Adding Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) can improve the desired noodle texture, namely chewy and elastic. This study aims to identify the effect of the concentration of STPP addition on the physical characteristics and sensory acceptability of Lumi-lumi wet noodles fortified with red beet extract. The study used a single factorial Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with four different STTP concentration treatments (F1: 0%, F2: 0.50%, F3: 0.75%, F4: 1% STPP) with a ratio of wheat flour, Lumi-lumi fish, and red beet extract, namely 80%: 20%: 8%. The observations were physical quality tests, including rehydration, cooking time, cooking loss, and elasticity of noodle. 60 untrained panelists carried out sensory tests. There was a significant effect (P <0.05) of the addition of STPP concentration on the physical quality of noodles. Treatment F1 showed the best rehydration noodle and cooking time, 80.93% and 2.98 minutes, respectively. The best cooking loss and elasticity were obtained in F4, which were 19.93% and 27.08 mm. Sensory results significantly affected color and taste parameters (P<0.05). Aroma and texture had no significant effect (P>0.05). The highest color acceptance was obtained in F3, followed by F2, respectively 3.97 (like) and 3.80 (like). The best taste parameter was received in F2, 3.83 (like). The highest aroma was obtained in F3, followed by F2, respectively, 3.80 (like) and 3.75 (like). The highest texture assessment was in F4, followed by F3 and F2, respectively, namely, 3.55 (slightly chewy), 3.53 (slightly chewy), and 3.40 (slightly chewy). Based on the research results, to produce Lumi-lumi wet noodles with the desired physical and sensory acceptability, an STPP concentration of 0.50% is recommended.

Abstract

A 6-month-old baby requires complementary feeding (MP-ASI) to meet nutritional needs and support growth and development. The mother's knowledge of proper MP-ASI provision influences the baby's nutritional status, including types, composition, and feeding methods. The nutrition received will directly affect the baby's growth. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge of MP-ASI and the nutritional status of babies aged 6-24 months in the working area of Padang Panyang Health Center, Kuala Pesisir District, Nagan Raya Regency. This quantitative study uses an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design and Purposive Sampling technique. Ninety-three mothers with children aged 6-24 months were selected as samples. Data was collected using a questionnaire to assess maternal knowledge and anthropometric measurements to evaluate nutritional status. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test, showing a significant result (p=0.006, p<0.05). The results showed that 55.9% of mothers had sufficient knowledge, 34.4% had poor knowledge, and 9.7% had good knowledge. Additionally, 80.6% of babies had normal nutritional status, while 19.4% had abnormal nutritional status, indicating a strong relationship between maternal knowledge and the nutritional status of babies. Mothers with a better understanding of MP-ASI provision tend to have children with better nutritional status.

Abstract

Student nutritional status is a crucial indicator of health and development, particularly regarding adequate nutrition. One effective intervention to enhance nutritional status is providing high-protein snacks. Indonesia's Genius Program aims to improve child nutrition through targeted interventions in select schools nationwide, including 17 schools in Aceh. Quantitative study analyzed the impact of high-protein snacks on student nutritional status in West Aceh elementary schools using secondary data from the 2023 Genius Program. Employing a quantitative design and Wilcoxon statistical analysis, 339 students were categorized into three nutritional status groups based on BMI-for-age z-scores: undernutrition, good nutrition, and overnutrition. Results showed that 14-day high-protein snack provision significantly improved student nutritional status, increasing good nutrition proportions and reducing undernutrition cases. The Genius Program in West Aceh elementary schools (2023) effectively enhanced student nutritional status by reducing undernutrition and increasing good nutrition proportions. Recommendations include extending program duration and expanding sample sizes for future research generalization.

Abstract

Healthy sleep patterns are an important component in maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. Poor sleep patterns, such as insufficient sleep duration or irregular sleep, have been shown to have significant impacts on various aspects of health, including mental health, blood pressure, risk of chronic disease, and physical balance. This study used a literature study method to analyze various studies covering populations of adolescents, young adults, college students, and the elderly. The results of the analysis showed that poor sleep patterns in adolescents are associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depression. In college students, irregular sleep patterns affect gastrointestinal health and academic performance. Local research shows that lack of sleep contributes to increased blood pressure, while poor sleep patterns in the elderly population increase the risk of falls and fractures. In addition, research using wearable devices revealed that irregular sleep patterns increase the risk of obesity, hypertension, and mental health disorders.
