Abstract

Introduction: The Indonesian National Health Insurance (JKN) program in Indonesia has played an important role in providing access to health services for the community. Active membership is a key element in the development of the JKN program in Indonesia. High levels of active membership ensure financial stability, expanded coverage, and improved access to healthcare services. However, active membership in the program remains a challenge, with membership rates varying across regions. The purpose of this study was to analyze active membership and the factors influencing it at the district level. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Secondary data were sourced from the provincial central bureau of statistics in Indonesia and data from system monitoring of the national social security council in 2023. Data analysis was conducted at the district level with a sample size of 479 districts and municipalities. Robust multiple linear regression analysis was employed to assess the influence between literacy, employment, illness history, household expenditure, and active JKN membership. Results: Findings based on cross-sectional data indicate that literacy and employment positively affect active JKN membership, while household expenditure has a negative effect; the illness history variable is not significant. Despite the model's overall significance (Prob > F = 0.00), it explains only 8.47% of the variation in JKN active membership (R-squared = 0.08). Conclusion: Socioeconomic variables such as literacy, employment, and household expenditure are essential in developing JKN membership policies. Educational programs to raise health insurance awareness, along with policy interventions aimed at improving literacy, employment stability, and people's economic well-being, can contribute to increased membership in JKN.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a severe problem in the world and Indonesia. The prevalence of DM at Sibela Community Health Center in Surakarta City in 2021 was 3.37%, the highest in Surakarta City. Efforts are needed to prevent DM through behavioral interventions. Several factors influence DM prevention behavior, such as family history, family support, knowledge, and attitudes. Methods: The independent variables in this study include family history, family support, knowledge, and attitude. This study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study were people who lived in the Sibela Health Center Working Area and did not suffer from DM. The sample in this study was 167 respondents, with a sampling technique using purposive sampling. The research instrument used a questionnaire with data collection techniques in the form of interviews. Data analysis used logistic regression with a confidence level of 95% and a significance level of ? = 0.05. Results: The results showed that there was a relationship between attitude and DM prevention behavior (p-value = 0.016), and there was no relationship between family history (p-value = 0.719), family support (p-value = 0.131), and knowledge (p-value = 0.815) with DM prevention behavior. Conclusion: Attitude is one of the determinant factors related to DM preventive behavior, it is hoped that the POSBINDU PTM can be implemented more broadly and comprehensively through the program, such as developing a physical agenda, training to improve skills such as meal planning, exercise, and stress management, training cadres on skills, and providing remote health access.

Abstract

Introduction: Mental health disturbances may adversely affect treatment adherence and outcomes among pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients, but there is a lack of consensus on the relationship. Despite TB being one of the top ten causes of death worldwide, particularly in low and middle-income countries, the comorbidity between TB and mental health disorders has been relatively neglected. Evidence shows that TB and mental health have a bidirectional relationship, so we aimed to elucidate the challenges linked with integrating mental health into TB care with an emphasis on novel suggestions for improving treatment success. Methods: This qualitative study utilized a phenomenological design and was implemented in hospitals and community health centers in Makassar City for six months. We enrolled 10 patients of coexisting pulmonary TB and mental health disturbances. We collected data through participant observations and in-depth semi-structured interviews. Ethics approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Commission, Faculty of Public Health Hasanuddin University No.583/UN4. 14. 1/TP. 01.02/2024 and written informed consent was obtained from participants. Result: Mental health disturbances related to poor TB treatment adherence. Both depression and anxiety patients cited disengagement from treatment because of apathy, lack of motivation, and social isolation due to stigma. Inadequately treated mental health symptoms also aggravated physical TB symptom's severity causing further increased non-adherence. Themes of stigma, limited mental health support and positive effects of social networks were identified through statistical analyses. To our surprise, those with the most solid family support fared better despite serious mental illnesses. Conclusion: Collectively, our findings underscore the importance of mental health disturbances on treatment adherence in TB. The findings from this research highlight the critical importance of incorporating mental health screening and psychosocial support into TB programmes. Studies to come should assess the effectiveness of such interventions, paving the way for integrated care of TB patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Drug abuse is currently a major public health issue, with drug use considered one of the primary risk behaviors leading to the development of various problems. The establishment of primary clinics within the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) at the provincial, city, and district levels aims to maximize the reach of addicts and provide rehabilitation services, particularly outpatient rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of outpatient rehabilitation programs for drug users at the South Sulawesi Provincial National Narcotics Agency. Methods: This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional study approach. The population consisted of all outpatient rehabilitation clients at BNNP South Sulawesi, with a sample of 113 individuals selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and observations. Data processing was conducted using Stata, and data analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses using the Chi-Square statistical test. The data presentation was provided in tables accompanied by narrative explanations. Results: The study revealed that 109 respondents (96.46%) rated the effectiveness of the drug rehabilitation program as good, while 4 respondents (3.54%) rated it as less effective. The statistical tests indicated significant relationships for program understanding (p = 0.000), goal achievement (p = 0.018), and tangible changes (p = 0.018). Conclusion: The Chi-Square test results for the variables of program understanding, goal achievement, and tangible changes yielded p-values < 0.05, leading to the rejection of H0 and acceptance of Ha. This indicates a significant relationship between these variables and the effectiveness of the drug rehabilitation program.

Abstract

ntroduction: According to data gathered from the Medical Records Unit of Hospital (RS) X in Magelang City for the year 2022, diabetes was the most prevalent condition, with a total of 2,866 recorded cases. To enhance treatment outcomes for patients, particularly those with chronic diseases, it is essential for physicians and pharmacists to collaborate effectively. Effective communication and collaboration among healthcare professionals, including physicians and pharmacists, are crucial to ensure seamless service delivery. This study aims to examine the gaps in collaboration among healthcare professionals—particularly between pharmacists and physicians—by exploring the current implementation of collaboration, identifying the challenges faced, and recommending strategies to optimize pharmacist-physician collaboration. Strengthening this collaboration may contribute to improving the quality of life of patients with diabetes. Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection methods such as interviews and focus group discussions, structured into seven distinct stages. The participants in this study include medical professionals, pharmacists, members of the pharmacy and therapeutics committees, hospital management personnel, and patients. Data analysis was conducted using explicitation techniques with the aid of the NVivo 12 software application, resulting in the identification of four key themes. Results: Through a qualitative approach, four main themes were identified. The first theme is the role of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, where the committee is responsible for drug selection, monitoring expired medications, compiling and distributing the hospital formulary, and providing appropriate therapy recommendations. The second theme is collaboration implementation, which is carried out through regular meetings, patient education, confirmation of drug availability and usage instructions, as well as coordination among healthcare professionals. The third theme is efforts to enhance collaboration, which include formulary updates, evaluation of drug needs, education for patients and medical personnel, and strengthening of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and interprofessional communication. The fourth theme is collaboration barriers, which include limitations in human resources, delayed communication, suboptimal evaluation of pharmaceutical personnel, and collaboration that is not yet fully integrated. Conclusion: The partnership between doctors and pharmacists at Hospital X in Magelang City in providing care for diabetes mellitus patients is in place but requires further optimization. To strengthen collaboration, the hospital can implement a structured interprofessional framework, including formal communication channels, cross-professional training, supportive internal policies, and active involvement of hospital management. These efforts are expected to enhance team effectiveness and improve the overall quality of patient care.

Abstract

Introduction: Hemodialysis is the primary therapy for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease. While it provides essential medical benefits, the procedure also imposes significant physical, psychological, and social challenges, impacting patients’ quality of life. The quality of life of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is influenced by various factors, including individual characteristics such as age, nutritional status, duration of hemodialysis, occupation, gender, and level of education. Advanced age is often associated with a decline in physiological function and an increased risk of complications. Poor nutritional status or malnutrition is linked to higher morbidity and mortality rates. The length of time a patient undergoes hemodialysis may also affect their physical and psychological adaptation, either positively or negatively. This study aims to analyze the predictive factors influencing the quality of life among chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at a private hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 160 respondents selected through probability random sampling. Data were collected using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form (KDQOL-SF) questionnaire and analyzed using multiple logistic regression to determine significant factors associated with quality of life. Results: The analysis revealed significant associations between age (p=0.001; OR=0.008), duration of hemodialysis (p=0.010; OR=25.916), and nutritional status (p=0.000; OR=0.003) with patients’ quality of life. Patients with poor nutritional status and prolonged hemodialysis duration were at a higher risk of experiencing a decline in quality of life. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of routine nutritional assessments and targeted monitoring for elderly patients and those with long-term hemodialysis. These strategies are critical to optimizing the quality of life among hemodialysis patients.
