Abstract

Background : Orthopedic surgery May cause mobility limitations due to muscle pain​ weakness , restricted range of motion , and tissue healing . Rehabilitation exercises are an important component of recovery , but their effectiveness is strongly influenced by patient adherence to the prescribed exercise program. Objective : To analyze the relationship between adherence to rehabilitation exercises and improvement in mobility scores among patients after orthopedic surgery. Methods : This study used a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design . The sample consisted of 60 postoperative orthopedic patients selected using consecutive sampling. Participants received a structured rehabilitation exercise program for 14 days . Exercise adherence was assessed based on the percentage of prescribed exercises completed , while mobility was assessed using mobility scores before and after the rehabilitation program. Pearson correlation and paired t- test were used for data analysis with a significance level of α=0.05. Results : The mean mobility score increased from 48.37 ± 9.14 before the rehabilitation program to 70.82 ± 8.76 after the program. The mean improvement was 22.45 points . Thirty-eight patients (63.3%) had high Adherence , 16 patients (26.7%) had moderate adherence , and 6 patients (10.0%) had low adherence . A significant positive correlation was found between rehabilitation exercise adherence and improvement in mobility scores (r=0.612; p<0.001). Conclusion : Higher adherence to rehabilitation exercises was associated with greater improvement in mobility scores among postoperative orthopedic patients . Structured rehabilitation exercises and adherence monitoring should be incorporated into postoperative orthopedic care.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an infectious disease that requires long-term and standardized treatment to achieve therapeutic success. Appropriate use of antituberculosis drugs and regular monitoring are important components of the TB control program. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of TB patients, treatment phases, antituberculosis drug regimens, and additional medications administered to patients at the outpatient installation of Pindad General Hospital, Bandung. This study used a descriptive observational design with a retrospective approach. Data were obtained from secondary data consisting of TB patient prescriptions and treatment records recorded in the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) during March–April 2026. The study population consisted of 30 TB patients, and total sampling was used. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. Of the 30 patients, 19 (63.3%) were male and 11 (36.7%) were female. The largest age group was 0–10 years, comprising 14 patients (46.7%). Based on treatment phase, 10 patients (33.3%) were in the initial intensive phase and 20 patients (66.7%) were in the continuation phase. Antituberculosis therapy was administered using Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) regimens, including 4FDC for adults and 3FDC for children during the intensive phase, and 2FDC during the continuation phase. Additional medications included Vitamin B6, multivitamins, Curcuma preparations, and other supportive medications. All patients (100%) were still undergoing treatment, so treatment outcomes had not been completed. TB patients at Pindad General Hospital were predominantly male and aged 0–10 years. Most patients were in the continuation phase and received FDC antituberculosis therapy. Regular prescription screening and treatment monitoring are needed to support the appropriate implementation of the TB treatment program..

Abstract

BPJS Kesehatan uses biometric validation through fingerprint scanning and the Face Recognition Identification System (FRISTA) to prevent fraud in patient registration; however, technical scanning failures may prolong inpatient registration waiting times. This qualitative study, using an inductive descriptive phenomenological approach, aimed to analyze in depth how biometric validation barriers are managed from the perspectives and direct actions of medical record admission officers at AMC Hospital. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two admission officers, selected by purposive sampling using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria as the entire operational population responsible for escalation and with data saturation achieved, as well as non-participant observation and document review. The findings show that admission officers perform four main roles: identifying technical barriers, including fingerprint-only failure, FRISTA-only failure, and double biometric failure; executing an escalation reporting workflow to the Team Coordinator and subsequently to the Head of Medical Records for manual V-Claim approval based on the recommendation of the physician in charge of care; providing de-escalation communication to reduce anxiety among patients' families; and maintaining registration efficiency in accordance with the Minimum Service Standard (≤ 15 minutes).

Abstract

Childhood obesity is a nutritional problem that can increase the risk of metabolic disorders and other health problems. Energy and protein intake are important components that influence nutritional status and growth. Differences in dietary intake between children with obesity and children with normal nutritional status need to be identified as a basis for appropriate nutritional intervention. This study aimed to compare energy and protein intake between obese children and children with normal nutritional status. This quantitative study used a comparative cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 84 children , consisting of 42 obese children and 42 children with normal nutritional status. Dietary intake was assessed using a food recall questionnaire, while nutritional status was determined based on body mass index-for-age according to applicable growth standards. Data were analyzed using an independent t -test or Mann-Whitney test according to data distribution. The mean energy intake among obese children was 2,145.6 kcal/day, while children with normal nutritional status had a mean intake of 1,782.4 kcal/day. The mean protein intake was 78.5 g/day among obese children and 61.7 g/day among children with normal nutritional status. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in energy intake (p=0.002) and protein intake (p=0.011) between the two groups. Energy and protein intake was significantly higher among obese children than among children with normal nutritional status. Nutritional education and monitoring of dietary intake are important components of obesity prevention and management in children.
