Abstract

Introduction: Kendari City Hospital, a regional referral hospital in Southeast Sulawesi, experiences a high number of patient visits and a growing demand for medications. However, approximately 14% of medication items were found to be out of stock, including several vital drugs. Method: The research used a qualitative approach, with the following subjects: the Head of the Hospital Pharmacy Installation, RKO), the pharmacy warehouse officer and the managing pharmacist, and. Data collection was conducted through interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies Result: The ABC-VEN method has been proven to assist Kendari City Hospital in identifying drug procurement priorities and reducing the risk of drug shortages, particularly for vital and essential drugs. This method also increases budget efficiency by focusing funds on the drugs most needed for patient care. The implementation of the ABC-VEN method at Kendari City Hospital provides benefits in drug logistics management, but faces challenges in data, human resources, budget, distribution, regulations, and the dynamics of drug demand. Conclusion: The Pharmacy Unit at Kendari City Hospital has integrated ABC and VEN grouping through the ABC–VEN matrix. This method is more effective in identifying drug procurement priorities than conventional methods. Through a combination of analysis (ABC) and (VEN), the pharmacy unit is able to determine which drugs truly receive high priority due to both budgetary value and medical urgency.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a major public health issue worldwide, with 149 million children (21.9%) affected in 2020. In Indonesia, despite the 2024 target of 14%, prevalence was still 21.6% in 2022. Beyond nutrition, stunting is influenced by environmental, socioeconomic, and maternal factors. In North Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, mining activities further threaten water, sanitation, and food security. The aim of this study is to see Impact of Mining Activities on the Prevalence of Stunting in Children (A Comparative Study in the Mining Area of Langgikima Pesisir and the Non-Mining Area of Wawolesea). Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 58 children aged 24–59 months from mining (Coastal Langgikima) and non-mining (Wawolesea) areas. Data on water access, sanitation, breastfeeding, maternal nutrition, diet, and socioeconomic status were collected through questionnaires and anthropometry. Chi-Square and logistic regression were used to analyze associations and key predictors. Result: Stunting prevalence was higher in mining areas (48.3%) compared to non-mining (27.6%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations with access to clean water (p=0.008), sanitation (p=0.001), exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.001), maternal nutritional status (p=0.001), and socioeconomic status (p=0.035). Multivariate analysis showed that exclusive breastfeeding remained the most influential factor, while other variables lost significance after adjustment. Conclusion: Children in mining areas face greater risk of stunting due to combined environmental, maternal, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Exclusive breastfeeding emerged as the strongest protective factor. Policies should integrate nutrition programs with improvements in water, sanitation, and maternal health, alongside multisectoral collaboration between health, environment, and mining sectors.

Abstract

Introduction: Community health center accreditation is one method for achieving quality health services. Most accredited community health centers in Central Buton Regency operate health services that do not comply with internal regulations, including policies, guidelines, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Some even fail to implement or comply with suggestions or recommendations provided by surveyors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between individual and community health efforts and the accreditation status of community health centers in Central Buton Regency. Method: The research type is quantitative, with a cross-sectional study design. The population is all civil servant and non-civil servant health workers working at the Buton Tengah Regency Community Health Center in 2024, totaling 238 people. A sample of 71 people was obtained using the Cluster Random Sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test, correlation density, and binary logistic regression. Result: Shows that of the 71 samples, the majority of the Health Center accreditation status is Basic and Intermediate, as many as 41 people (57.7%). The results of the Chi-Square test obtained a p value of 0.000, φ (0.486) for individual health efforts and a p value of 0.000 and φ (0.518) for public health efforts. Conclusion: There is a moderate relationship between individual and community health efforts and the Accreditation Status of Community Health Centers.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a major nutritional problem affecting children's growth and development and contributes to the quality of human resources. The prevalence of stunting in several community health centers in Konawe Islands Regency remains high. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between drinking water factors (source, treatment, and physical quality) and the incidence of stunting among children under five years old. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 1,125 toddlers, and 89 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test, correlation test, and binary logistic regression. Result: The Chi-Square test results showed a significant relationship between drinking water sources and stunting (p=0.000), drinking water treatment and stunting (p=0.000), and drinking water quality and stunting (p=0.000) with correlation coefficient φ = 0.396. Conclusion: Drinking water factors, including water source, treatment, and physical quality, are significantly associated with the incidence of stunting among children under five in Konawe Islands Regency.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that can lead to various complications such as premature death, blindness, heart disease, and kidney failure. The prevalence of DM at Matandahi Community Health Center in 2022 was 5.9% and increased to 6.8% in 2023. Meanwhile, at Motui Community Health Center, it was 7.1% in 2022 and 8.7% in 2023. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of consuming sago (Metroxylon sagu Rottb) once a day on changes in blood glucose levels of Diabetes Mellitus sufferers in the Matandahi and Motui Community Health Center work area. Method: This type of research is quantitative (pre-experimental), with one group pre-test-post-test design. The sample is 30 type 2 DM patients registered at the Matandahi and Motui Community Health Centers, taken using a simple random sampling technique. Random blood glucose levels were obtained using a portable Easy Touch Meter. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, and continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. Result: The results of the study showed that the average blood glucose level, before consuming sago once a day in the paired t-test, obtained a p value of 0.001 (sago consumption once a day).  Conclusion: There is an effect of consuming sago once, so it is recommended that Matandari Health Center implement socialization of the importance of consuming sago for Diabetes Mellitus sufferers.
