Abstract

Introduction: Drug inventory management is an important aspect in supporting the effectiveness of health services in hospitals, especially in providing quality drug needs. There are differences in the characteristics of drug supply management between public and private hospitals. These differences include aspects of policy, resources, regulation, and procurement flexibility. This attracted researchers to conduct a study aimed at comparing drug supply management systems between public and private hospitals, especially in Kendari City. Method: The research used a qualitative approach with data triangulation through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. Informants consisted of heads of pharmacy installations, pharmacists, and hospital management representatives. Result: The results of in-depth interviews showed differences in drug procurement management between public and private hospitals. Public hospitals have a more structured system following formal regulations such as e-catalogue, while private hospitals are more flexible. The ABC method has also been applied in all hospitals in mapping drug classifications although the implementation differs in each hospital depending on the size of the budget, the competence of human resources, and the availability of supporting systems and data required. The EOQ method has not been optimally implemented due to limited data and information systems. A common problem faced by hospitals is drug stock-outs, which have an impact on patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The effectiveness of drug management in hospitals is generally considered to be good. There are differences and similarities in drug management between public and private hospitals. Stock out is a common problem in drug supply management in hospitals.

Abstract

Introduction: Mining activities in coastal and marine areas have the potential to release heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and nickel (Ni) into the environment through liquid waste, sediment, and mining dust. These metals are toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative, so they can accumulate in aquatic organisms, including fish, and pose a health risk to humans who consume them. This study aims to analyze the content of Pb, Cd, Hg, and Ni in Katamba fish (Lethrinus nebulosus) and assess the health risks to the coastal community of Baliara Village, Kabaena Islands. Method: The study used a quantitative approach with an observational design and an Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EAHR) method. Data were obtained through field and laboratory research. The human sample consisted of 97 respondents, while the fish sample consisted of 3 specimens. Result: The results showed an average fish consumption rate of 217 g/day. The average concentration of heavy metals in fish was Pb 0.599 mg/kg, Cd 0.342 mg/kg, Hg 0.001 mg/kg, and Ni 0.974 mg/kg. The average daily intake of respondents for each metal was Pb 1.345 mg/kg/day, Cd 0.751 mg/kg/day, Hg 0.0022 mg/kg/day, and Ni 2.07 mg/kg/day. The risk value (RQ) showed that Pb, Cd, and Ni had RQ > 1, while Hg RQ < 1. Conclusion: An RQ value > 1 indicates a potential health risk, both immediately and in the long term (up to 30 years). Recommended risk management strategies include reducing consumption rates and exposure to fish from affected areas.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic malnutrition among Indonesian children under five remains a challenge despite the implementation of the Supplementary Food Program. his study examined differences in mothers' perceptions of Supplementary Food Program between recipient and non-recipient groups, analyzing five influencing factors: past experience, thinking ability, motivation, feeding time, and social environment. Method: Using a comparative quantitative design, 361 mothers from Pamandati Community Health Center, South Konawe were surveyed through stratified random sampling (146 Supplementary Food Program recipients, 215 non-recipients). Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression. Result: Highly significant differences in perceptions on all factors. Supplementary Food Program recipient mothers showed more positive perceptions regarding past experience (Mean Rank 223.99 vs 151.80, p=0.000), thinking ability (225.86 vs 150.54, p=0.000), motivation (203.16 vs 165.95, p=0.000), feeding time (237.04 vs 142.95, p=0.000), and social environment (265.37 vs 123.70, p=0.000). Logistic regression identified thinking ability (B=2.817, p<0.001) and motivation (B=2.006, p<0.001) as the dominant predictors, explaining 88.4% of the variation in Not Supplementary Food Program acceptance. Conclusion: The study concluded that mothers' perceptions differed significantly based on all factors studied, with thinking ability as the strongest predictor. Health workers should prioritize educational interventions that target mothers' cognitive abilities and motivation. Local governments need to strengthen the social environment support system. Longitudinal studies with broader coverage are recommended to explore additional success factors in integrated nutrition programs.

Abstract

Introduction: Coastal environmental pollution is one of the biggest challenges for communities whose livelihoods depend heavily on marine resources. Kabaena Island, particularly Baliara Village, faces increasing pollution pressure due to nickel mining activities, unmanaged domestic waste disposal, and intensive fishing vessel operations. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental pollution factors and heavy metal levels in Katamba fish (Lethrinus nebulosus),  Method: This research employed a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 97 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires as well as fish and seawater samples, which were analyzed in the laboratory using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and ICP-OES. Data analysis was conducted using Spearman correlation to examine the association between environmental pollution activities. Result: The results showed that heavy metal concentrations in Katamba fish mostly exceeded the safe consumption limits set by WHO and Government Regulation No. 22/2021. Mining activities were significantly associated with Ni levels (r = –0.200) and seawater pollution (ρ = 0.438). Domestic waste exhibited a significant correlation with Pb levels in fish (r = 0.669), while fishing vessel activities were associated with Cd levels (r = 0.317). These findings highlight the substantial contribution of human activities to increasing heavy metal pollution in coastal areas. Conclusion: There is a relationship between environmental pollutants such as mining activities, domestic waste and fishing boat activities with heavy metal levels such as Hg, Ni, Pb and Cd in seawater and catamba fish.
