Abstract

Medication safety in pharmaceutical services requires rigorous management of high-alert and Look-Alike Sound-Alike (LASA) medicines because identification and dispensing errors may cause serious patient harm. This study evaluated the storage system for high-alert and LASA medicines at the Pharmacy Installation of Ratnasari Sehat 2 Primary Clinic, Ciwidey. A descriptive quantitative design was applied to 54 respondents consisting of pharmacists, pharmacy technical personnel, pharmacy administration and logistics staff, and supporting health professionals. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires, direct observation with a checklist, and documentation review. The findings showed that 92% of respondents expressed positive responses regarding understanding of high-alert medication risks and LASA identification. Furthermore, 90% positively assessed the effectiveness of layout, lighting, warning labels, and Tall Man Lettering. Operational challenges related to workload and interprofessional coordination were acknowledged by 86% of respondents. Direct observation confirmed the use of red High Alert labels, yellow LASA labels, physical separation of LASA medicines, Tall Man Lettering, and shelf boundary markings. Concentrated potassium chloride 7.46% was not stocked at the clinic, while an updated High Alert and LASA medication list was not available at the workstation. Overall, the storage system met most patient-safety indicators, but managerial improvement is required through updated visual references, workload evaluation, and sustained monitoring.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the BPJS patient admission workflow following the implementation of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in the outpatient registration unit, specifically regarding service speed, data accuracy, and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This is a descriptive qualitative study utilizing an observational approach. Data were collected through direct observation of the BPJS patient registration workflow; interviews with registration staff, IT personnel, and patients; and a review of SOP documentation and system reports. The implementation of the EMR system proved effective in enhancing BPJS patient registration services. Results indicate that the EMR implementation improved the effectiveness of the BPJS patient admission workflow; registration time decreased from an average of 12–15 minutes to 6–8 minutes per patient due to the integration of the EMR with VClaim and the Mobile JKN queue system for verifying SEP (Participant Eligibility Letter), eligibility status, and fingerprints. Patient data accuracy also improved. Enhancements are needed regarding network infrastructure (including backup internet), the refinement of SOPs to better integrate the EMR with BPJS systems, and continuous training for registration staff to optimize EMR usage, thereby making the BPJS patient admission workflow more effective and efficient

Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) caused by spondylosis isa common musculoskeletal disorder associated with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, often resulting in pain, restricted lumbar range of motion, and impaired functional performance. Physiotherapy plays an essential role in managing these symptoms and restoring patients’ functional capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of Short Wave Diathermy (SWD), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and McKenzie Exercise in reducing pain, improving lumar range of motion, and enhancing functional ability in patients with Low Back Pain due to spondylosis. A descriptive quantitative case study was conducted involving a 51-year-old female patient treated at the Physiotherapy Departement of Kartika Husada Level II Hospital, Pontianak. The patient underwent six physiotherapy sessions. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to measure pain intensity, a goniometer to evaluate lumbar range of motion, Manual Muscle Testin to measure muscle strength, and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to determine functional disability. Following the intervention, the patient demonstrated reduced pain intensity, increased lumbar mobility, and improved functional ability, as reflected by lower ODI scores. These findings suggest that the combination of SWD, TENS, and McKenzie Exercise may be beneficial in reducing pain, restoring lumbar mobility, and improving functional performance in patients with Low Back Pain caused by spondylosis.

Abstract

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic condition in which stomach contents flow back (reflux) into the esophagus due to a weakened lower esophageal sphincter, causing symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. The prevalence of GERD is currently rising among Generation Z university students due to irregular eating habits, academic stress, and excessive caffeine consumption. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the preferences of Generation Z university students in Bandung regarding antacid formulations—specifically chewable tablets and suspensions. A quantitative descriptive research method was employed, involving the distribution of an online questionnaire to 52 respondents in April 2026. The results indicated that 78.8% of respondents had experienced gastric issues, and 50% had self-medicated with antacids within the last six months. Regarding usage history, 65.38% had used chewable tablets, while 21.15% had used suspensions. When given a choice between the two, 75% of respondents preferred chewable tablets, and 25% preferred suspensions. The primary factors influencing these preferences were convenience, taste, and price.

Abstract

The choice of traditional birth attendants (paraji) as childbirth assistants is still common in the community and is influenced by social and cultural factors, as well as access to health care. To analyze the factors influencing the choice of traditional birth attendants (paraji) as childbirth assistants based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This study employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Informants included mothers who had given birth with the assistance of a traditional birth attendant, family members, midwives, and stakeholders. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The choice of a traditional birth attendant was influenced by three dimensions of the TPB. Attitude was reflected in feelings of comfort, calmness, trust, prior experience, and traditional practices. Subjective norm was influenced by the husband, family, and social environment. Perceived behavioral control was related to distance, transportation, road conditions, cost, and the availability of health care providers. The choice of a traditional birth attendant is influenced by positive attitudes, social support, and perceptions of the ease and barriers to accessing health services.

Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a glucose tolerance disorder first identified during pregnancy that may lead to maternal and fetal complications if not detected early. This study aimed to describe blood glucose levels among pregnant women at Bunda Mulia Hospital. A descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach was applied. Samples were selected using consecutive sampling, involving 139 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria during April to June 2026. Blood glucose levels were measured using the Point of Care Testing (POCT) method on capillary blood, then analyzed univariately and presented as frequency distribution. The results showed that 134 respondents (96.40%) had normal blood glucose levels and 5 respondents (3.60%) had abnormal levels, with a mean of 93.25 mg/dL, a minimum of 62 mg/dL, and a maximum of 233 mg/dL. It can be concluded that most pregnant women at Bunda Mulia Hospital had good blood glucose regulation, although a small proportion were at risk of GDM. The POCT method can be used as a rapid and practical early screening tool for detecting glucose tolerance disorders in pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Drug abuse remains a major public health issue affecting physical, psychological, social, economic, and security aspects of society. The increasing prevalence of illicit drug use, particularly among young adults and productive-age populations, requires comprehensive prevention and control strategies. Drug control should not rely solely on law enforcement but should also integrate health promotion, prevention, rehabilitation, and human-centered approaches. Objective: This review aims to analyze promotive and preventive strategies in combating drug abuse while examining the effectiveness of repressive and humane approaches based on current scientific evidence. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using publications retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Garuda. Articles published between 2020 and 2025 in Indonesian and English discussing health promotion, prevention, rehabilitation, harm reduction, and law enforcement related to drug abuse were included. Results: Health promotion through education, public awareness campaigns, community empowerment, and family resilience improves knowledge and regarding attitudes towards drug abuse. Preventive strategies including early detection, school-based interventions, environmental monitoring, and multisector collaboration effectively reduce risk factors. Repressive approaches remain essential for combating illicit drug trafficking, whereas rehabilitation and harm reduction provide significant benefits for individuals experiencing substance dependence. Conclusion: Effective drug control requires integrated promotive, preventive, repressive, and rehabilitative strategies. Public health and human rights-based approaches offer more sustainable outcomes in reducing drug abuse and improving the quality of life of affected individuals.
