Abstract

A hospital is an institution whose primary function is to provide health services to the community. One of the government's efforts to provide health services to the community is implementing the National Health Insurance Program (JKN), which the Social Security Program Organizing Agency organizes in the health sector. This research analyzed the factors associated with delays in BPJS claims at Dr. Hospital. Reksodiwiryo Padang. This research was a descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. The research showed that six medical record files (6.5%) had inaccurate codes, while 86 (93.5%) used the correct ones. In addition, 91 files (98.9%) of inpatient medical records needed to be completed, and only one file (1.1%) was completed. Inaccuracy in diagnostic coding affects delays in submitting claims at Dr. Hospital. Reksodiwiryo Padang. It is hoped that officers can understand the coding rules based on ICD-10 for diagnoses and ICD-9 CM for actions or procedures to guarantee the quality of service at the hospital.

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major contributor to illness and death. COPD can result in the obstruction of airflow and disturbance of the respiratory system. These symptoms have a tendency to be enduring and progressively worse. In Indonesia, the number of persons affected by COPD is estimated to be 9.2 million, with smokers being the primary cause of COPD cases. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine the risk variables linked to the occurrence of COPD among smokers in Bandung City in 2022. This study employed a cross-sectional design, with a sample size of 189 smokers aged over 40 years in Bandung City. The participants were selected via total sampling. This study employed secondary research methodology, utilising chi-square and binary regression analysis for data analysis. The findings indicated that the prevalence of high-risk COPD cases in Bandung City in 2022 was 12.7%. An relationship was seen between age, smoking intensity, namely 20-30 packs of cigarettes per year, and level of physical activity. After controlling for age, physical activity, and degree of smoking, the primary cause of the increased risk of COPD was the consumption of 20-30 packs of cigarettes per year (PR= 11.34; 95% CI = 1.65 to 77.67). This study highlights the significance of lifestyle interventions, such as smoking cessation programmes and CERDIK's behaviours, in managing COPD.

Abstract

Social media is a widely utilized and essential aspect of daily life, particularly for teens. Adolescents in today's digital age are growing up in a culture where social media platforms are prevalent and substantially influence various parts of their lives. The amount of social media usage in Indonesia is steadily growing annually. This article examines the negative and positive effects of social media on the mental wellbeing of young people. Several articles have suggested that excessive usage of social media among adolescents can result in sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. On the other hand, social media can positively affect health and improve relationships. This article highlights the significance of using social media prudently and ethically while effectively managing one's emotions, which can increase benefits. Therefore, minimizing might lead to negative consequences, particularly about adolescents' psychological wellbeing and societal support.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most often attacks various organs, especially the lungs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and TB patients' attitudes toward compliance with tuberculosis drugs at the Helvetia Medan Health Center. This type of research used an analytical observational method with the cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was quota sampling, with 75 respondents. Data collection in this study used to form sheets in questionnaires given to respondents directly and data analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed that respondents with good knowledge were 29 respondents (38.7%), good enough 33 respondents (44%), not good enough 12 respondents (16%), and not good one respondent (1.3%). A good attitude was 23 respondents (30.7%), good enough 37 respondents (49.3%), not good enough 14 respondents (18.7%), and not good one respondent (1.3%). Obedient compliance to TB medication was 25 respondents (33.3%), quite obedient 33 respondents (44%), and less obedient 17 respondents (22.7%).  This study concluded that knowledge and attitude had a significant relationship with adherence to tuberculosis medication, with a knowledge p-value of 0.003 <0.05 and an attitude p-value of 0.037 <0.05. Healthcare professionals must employ innovative strategies to enhance knowledge and attitudes, raise public awareness, and ensure full compliance with the TB treatment program. It is crucial to implement this measure to mitigate the future prevalence of antibiotic resistance in treating tuberculosis.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels. Globally, the average age of people with diabetes is 40 years. In Indonesia, diabetes is a gap with the highest incidence in the 20-44 year age group. Southeast Sulawesi recorded an increase in diabetes cases from 2022 to 2023, and the Lepo-Lepo Health Center reported 266 cases in 2022 and 360 cases in 2023. Meanwhile, in 2024 from January to July, the 20-44 year age group had 95 cases, where hereditary factors and obesity usually cause a high incidence of diabetes. This study aimed to identify risk factors for diabetes in the productive age in the Lepo-Lepo Health Center work area in 2024. The design of this study was a case-control study with the matching method, and the number of people with diabetes was 95. Sampling was performed using the purposive method, and then the calculation was carried out to obtain 41 pairs of case and control samples. The statistical test used was McNemar. The results showed that the obesity variable had an OR of 4,250 and a hereditary history 11,000. So it can be concluded that obesity and hereditary history were risk factors for Diabetes Mellitus in the productive age (20-44 years) in the Lepo-Lepo Health Center work area in 2024. Community-based preventive efforts targeting individuals with obesity and a family history of diabetes are strongly recommended to reduce the risk of diabetes mellitus in the productive age group

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative instrument in epidemiology, markedly enhancing the capacity of health professionals to predict, monitor, and manage the dissemination of diseases. A comprehensive review indicates that AI has achieved notable success in forecasting disease outbreaks, identifying transmission patterns, and optimizing the allocation of healthcare resources. AI-driven surveillance systems, such as BlueDot and HealthMap, have demonstrated their efficacy in providing early warnings of disease outbreaks, as evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the deployment of AI in epidemiology encounters challenges, including data privacy concerns, resource limitations in low-income countries, and the necessity for explicit ethical guidelines. This report examines the diverse applications of AI in epidemiology, its advantages over traditional methodologies, and the challenges and future directions for advancing this technology to bolster global disease control and prevention efforts.

Abstract

Indonesia has serious smoking problems, and all elements of society must engage in the process of smoking cessation. The smoking rate in the Riau Islands was relatively high among those aged > 15 years, and consumption patterns in Tanjungpinang show a 9.15% monthly per capita expenditure on tobacco products. This study aimed to analyze policy implementation regarding Smoke-Free Areas in Tanjungpinang using eight WHO indicators: Acceptability, Adoption, Appropriateness, Feasibility, Fidelity, Implementation Cost, Coverage, and Sustainability. This study was a policy implementation analysis. Key informants were four individuals from relevant agencies related to Smoke-free Area regulation, selected through purposive sampling. Qualitative data from eight WHO indicators were analyzed through content analysis. Implementing the smoking-free area (SFA) policy in the field was not yet optimal, especially in terms of supervision and the imposition of sanctions. Therefore, efforts to increase socialization and supervision are required to implement SFA policies more effectively.

Abstract

Hypertension is a prevalent non-communicable disease in older adults that significantly affects functional abilities and quality of life. Half of the older adults had hypertension in nursing homes in West Sumatera. Caregiver support plays a crucial role as an external factor that can strengthen the motivation and ability of older adults to manage their health conditions independently. Most studies have focused on home-based care or informal caregivers. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between caregivers’ social support and self-care behavior in older adults with hypertension in nursing homes. This cross-sectional study, conducted from April to August 2025 at Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin Nursing Home in West Sumatera, included 86 older adults with hypertension (aged ≥60 years) using total sampling. Data were collected via the 20-item Caregiver Social Support Questionnaire and the 25-item Hypertension Blood Pressure Self-Care Profile (HBP-SCP), both culturally adapted and reliable. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and chi-square tests. Result: Participants (mean age 72.4 years) were mostly female (61.6%) and widowed (74.4%). High caregiver support was perceived by 53.5% of the participants. Good self-care was demonstrated by 43.0% of participants, with the highest adherence in medication use and the lowest in blood pressure monitoring and physical activity. A significant association was found between caregiver support and self-care behavior (p=0.005). Conclusion: This study confirmed a significant positive association between caregiver support and self-care in older adults with hypertension in West Sumatra nursing homes. This underscores the critical role of formal caregivers in institutional settings. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive caregiver training in technical skills, communication, and motivational strategies. Future longitudinal research is recommended to explore causality and develop targeted interventions. Fostering robust caregiver support is essential for promoting independence and improving the quality of life of these individuals.
