Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is one of the non-communicable diseases that is increasingly prevalent among adolescents due to unhealthy lifestyle changes. Limited knowledge and inappropriate attitudes toward the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus may increase adolescents' risk of developing the disease. Health education using animated videos delivered through WhatsApp Groups is considered an effective approach to improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes. This study aimed to determine the effect of animated videos delivered through WhatsApp Groups on adolescents' knowledge and attitudes regarding the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at SMAN 2 Kota Bengkulu. This study used a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 59 tenth-grade students were selected through simple random sampling from a population of 433 students at SMAN 2 Kota Bengkulu. The intervention consisted of animated videos distributed through a WhatsApp Group twice over one week. Data were collected using knowledge and attitude questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 62.90 before the intervention to 87.68 after the intervention, while the mean attitude score increased from 40.05 to 51.81. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test yielded a p-value of <0.001, indicating that animated videos delivered through WhatsApp Groups significantly improved adolescents' knowledge and attitudes regarding the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at SMAN 2 Kota Bengkulu. Schools are encouraged to utilize animated videos through WhatsApp Groups as a sustainable health promotion strategy to improve adolescents' knowledge and foster positive attitudes toward the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae which attacks peripheral nerves and human skin. The purpose of this study was to analyze environmental risk factors for leprosy in the Buton Regency area. This type of research is an observational analytic study with a case control study design. Interviews and measurements of home conditions were carried out on 156 people (52 cases and 104 controls) using purposive sampling technique with a ratio of 1:2 by age and sex matching. Data analysis using the chy square test and multiple logistic regression were analyzed using the SPSS version 24 computer program. The results showed that the map of distribution of cases at greater risk in Pasarwajo District had significant variables, namely trust (pvalue= 0.003), contact history (p-value = 0.001) , bathing habits (pvalue=0.001), lighting (pvalue=0.012), ventilation (pvalue=0.022), occupancy density (pvalue=0.000) while humidity, water availability and latrine ownership were insignificant variables. The results of the logistic regression test showed that occupancy density, bathing habits and contact history were the most influential variables on the incidence of leprosy. Community awareness needs to be increased through counseling and increasing knowledge of environmental hazards, especially unhealthy housing conditions so that home and family health standards can be achieved.

Abstract

Inpatient mortality is an important indicator of hospital service quality because it reflects clinical outcomes and patient safety. Mortality data managed by the Medical Records Unit should be transformed into detailed statistical information, not only through Gross Death Rate (GDR) and Net Death Rate (NDR), but also according to patient characteristics and recorded diagnostic patterns. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of inpatient mortality by age, sex, length of stay, treatment unit, and recorded diagnoses, and to calculate GDR and NDR at Hermina Arcamanik General Hospital during the second quarter of 2026. A quantitative descriptive design with total sampling was applied to 153 inpatient mortality cases. Secondary data were obtained through documentary review of mortality recapitulation records from the Medical Records Unit. The findings showed that mortality was most frequently observed among patients aged ≥60 years (51.6%), male patients (57.5%), patients hospitalized for ≥48 hours (75.2%), and patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (86.9%). Cardiac arrest was the most frequently recorded diagnosis (19.1% of 602 diagnosis entries). The GDR was 21.44‰ and the NDR was 16.11‰, both below the ideal reference thresholds used in the study. These findings indicate that the hospital mortality indicators met the referenced standards during the study period; nevertheless, periodic monitoring and medical audit remain necessary, particularly for high-risk patient groups and critically ill patients.

Abstract

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are health documentation systems that utilize information technology to store, manage, and display patient data electronically. This study aimed to analyze the effect of EMR implementation on the effectiveness of outpatient services at RSUD Kesehatan Kerja. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were obtained through observation, documentation, and semi-structured interviews with five informants selected using purposive sampling, consisting of one Head of the Medical Records Installation, two medical record officers in the outpatient registration unit, one physician, and one nurse. The findings showed that EMR implementation had a positive impact on outpatient service effectiveness, including increased service speed, easier access to patient information, improved readability and accuracy of data, and better integration among service units. Nevertheless, implementation has not yet been fully optimized because the hospital continues to operate a hybrid system and encounters system downtime and network disruptions. Therefore, EMR implementation contributes to improving the effectiveness of outpatient services; however, stronger infrastructure and greater system stability are still required to achieve more optimal implementation.

Abstract

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are an important component in supporting healthcare delivery, including inpatient registration. Although EMR implementation can make service processes more effective, practical constraints may still disrupt registration and affect patient waiting times. This study aimed to identify constraints in the use of EMRs and describe inpatient registration waiting times at AMC Cileunyi Hospital. A quantitative method with a descriptive observational design was employed. Data were obtained through direct observation of 217 inpatients undergoing registration and interviews with registration staff. The data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions and percentages to characterize EMR constraints and registration waiting times. Of the 217 patients observed, 72 patients (33.18%) experienced constraints in EMR use, whereas 145 patients (66.82%) experienced no constraints. By type of constraint, fingerprint verification failure was the most frequently identified problem, affecting 69 patients (31.80%), while BPJS administrative constraints were found in 3 patients (1.38%). Regarding registration waiting time, 140 patients (64.52%) waited ≤15 minutes, whereas 77 patients (35.48%) waited >15 minutes. Thus, most patients did not experience EMR-related constraints and completed registration within 15 minutes. Nevertheless, fingerprint verification remains the predominant constraint, and a substantial proportion of patients still experience waiting times exceeding 15 minutes. These findings may serve as evaluation material for improving EMR system stability and supporting the efficiency and quality of inpatient registration services.

Abstract

Hospitals present various occupational hazards, making the implementation of Hospital Occupational Health and Safety (OHS/K3RS) essential to protect all workers, including non-medical staff. This study aimed to analyze the role of hospital management in improving compliance with the OHS program among non-medical staff at the West Java Provincial Occupational Health Regional Hospital. A descriptive qualitative design was used with six informants selected through purposive sampling. The findings showed that management played an important role through the establishment of K3RS policies and the K3RS Team, confirmed by 50% of informants; provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and OHS training, confirmed by 83.3%; and periodic program monitoring and evaluation, confirmed by 50%. Compliance among non-medical staff was generally good in PPE use, adherence to standard operating procedures, and participation in OHS activities, each confirmed by 50% of informants, although 66.7% reported variation in compliance across work units. All informants (100%) identified management commitment, policies, PPE, training, and unit-head support as enabling factors, while 66.7% reported barriers including budget limitations, limited K3RS human resources, PPE availability, workload, and inconsistent worker awareness. Management commitment therefore emerged as a key determinant, indicating the need to strengthen monitoring, OHS facilities, continuous training, and safety culture to sustain compliance.

Abstract

The Hospital Management Information System (HMIS/SIMRS) plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency and quality of healthcare services and therefore requires adequate organizational readiness for implementation. This study aimed to determine readiness for the use of SIMRS at Mulyasari Hospital based on the 7M approach: Man, Money, Materials, Methods, Machine, Management, and Market. A descriptive qualitative method with a cross-sectional approach was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation review, and literature review involving nine informants selected by purposive sampling. The findings showed that the Management and Market aspects were categorized as good, whereas Man, Money, Materials, Methods, and Machine were categorized as fairly good. Identified constraints included training that had not yet been sufficiently comprehensive, limited human resources, facilities that did not fully meet service needs, delays in completing medical resumes, unstable networks, slow computers, and system disruptions during maintenance. Overall, Mulyasari Hospital was considered ready to use SIMRS, although several components still require improvement. Regular and more comprehensive training, additional personnel in understaffed units, optimization of budget utilization, development of system features according to service needs, stronger discipline in completing medical documentation, and improvement of information technology infrastructure are recommended to support more optimal and sustainable SIMRS utilization.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that can cause increased blood glucose levels and disorders of lipid metabolism, including elevated triglyceride levels. This study aimed to determine the relationship between triglyceride levels and fasting blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Hermina Arcamanik Hospital. This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 24 patients. Data were obtained through triglyceride and fasting blood glucose examinations and were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed a mean triglyceride level of 176.13 mg/dL and a mean fasting blood glucose level of 115.83 mg/dL. The Spearman test yielded rₛ = 0.331 and p = 0.114 (p > 0.05), indicating a weak positive relationship that was not statistically significant. The findings demonstrate that higher triglyceride levels tended to be accompanied by higher fasting blood glucose levels, although the strength of the association was weak and did not reach statistical significance in the study population. It was concluded that there was no significant relationship between triglyceride levels and fasting blood glucose levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in this study.

Abstract

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is an important component of digital transformation in healthcare services. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of EMR within the Khanza Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) using the HOT-FIT method at KMM Sukabumi Eye Specialist Clinic. A descriptive qualitative design with an evaluative approach was applied to eight informants. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, document review, and literature review. The findings showed that the Human, Organization, and Technology dimensions generally supported EMR implementation and generated benefits such as facilitating staff work, reducing duplicate documentation, improving access to patient information, and supporting service quality. Nevertheless, implementation had not yet reached an optimal level. Identified constraints included the longer adaptation period required by new users, uneven training, geographically distant IT support, incomplete utilization of Khanza SIMRS features, and monitoring and evaluation that were not conducted regularly. Basic technological infrastructure, including computers, LAN/Wi-Fi, servers, UPS/stabilizers, and daily data backup, was available; however, printer/scanner availability remained limited and network disruptions occasionally slowed BPJS bridging and service processes. Regular and equitable training, stronger and more responsive technical support, optimization of system features according to clinic needs, additional supporting devices, and scheduled monitoring and evaluation are therefore recommended to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of EMR implementation.
