Abstract

Intoduction: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases whose prevalence continues to rise in Indonesia, including in Kaur Regency. Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy eating patterns, lack of physical activity, and obesity are suspected to significantly contribute to the incidence of hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary patterns, physical activity, and obesity with the incidence of hypertension in the community within the working area of Bintuhan Health Center, Kaur Regency. Method: This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 96 respondents was taken through simple random sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and blood pressure measurements, and analyzed using chi-square tests. Result and Discussion: The analysis results show a significant relationship between dietary patterns (p = 0.001), physical activity (p = 0.005), and obesity (p = 0.000) with the incidence of hypertension. Poor dietary patterns, low physical activity, and obesity status are associated with an increased risk of hypertension. Community-based promotional and preventive interventions need to be enhanced to reduce the burden of hypertension in the area. Conclusion: The health center is expected to strengthen education on healthy eating and lifestyle management for the elderly through a local cultural approach. Regular physical activity programs, such as elderly exercise classes, should be promoted, accompanied by regular monitoring of blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI). These preventive and promotional efforts are essential for the sustainable prevention and control of hypertension in coastal communities.

Abstract

Background: The Youth Posyandu is a community-based health service effort aimed at improving the health status of adolescents through promotive and preventive measures. Although this program has been implemented in various regions, its execution is still not optimal, including in the coastal area of Bentiring Health Center in Bengkulu City. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the implementation of the Youth Posyandu Program based on three main aspects: input, process, and output.Research Method: The method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. The informants in the study consist of the head of the health center, program officers, cadres, and adolescent participants of the Posyandu. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and qualitative conclusion drawing.Research Results: The results show that the input aspect still has weaknesses, such as a lack of trained personnel, minimal special funding, and insufficient supporting facilities. In the process aspect, planning and implementation of activities have not been maximized due to a lack of adolescent involvement and the absence of routine evaluations. From the output aspect, the attendance and participation rates of adolescents are still low, although there is an increase in knowledge among some adolescents who actively participate.Recommendations: The researchers recommend that Bentiring Health Center enhance cadre training, optimize facilities and infrastructure, strengthen adolescent participation through ongoing education, and conduct routine monitoring and evaluation to make the Youth Posyandu Program more effective and sustainable.

Abstract

The Free Health Check-up (CKG) is a health screening program conducted by health workers directly at the target location, so students do not need to go to a community health center except for follow-up care, with a target of 52–53 million students (Ministry of Health, 2025). Data from the Bengkulu Provincial Health Office (September 2025) shows that CKG coverage for school-aged children is only 2.6%. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing CKG participation among students at SMA N 5 in Bengkulu City. The study employs a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 84 tenth-grade students was selected using systematic random sampling. Data analysis utilized the chi-square test (SPSS 22) followed by a binary logistic regression analysis. The results of the univariate analysis showed that of the 84 respondents, 48 (57.1%) had a good level of knowledge, 48 (57.1%) had a supportive attitude, 65 (77.4%) were female, 51 (60.7%) rated the role of teachers as good, 50 respondents (59.5%) rated the role of health workers as good, 52 respondents (61.9%) rated the implementation of the Free Health Check. The results of the bivariate analysis indicate a significant association between knowledge (p = 0.000), attitude (p = 0.009), gender (p = 0.022), the teacher’s role (p = 0.023), and the teacher’s role (p = 0.000) regarding the Free Health Check-up (CKG) among 10th-grade students at SMA N 5 in Bengkulu City. Multivariate Results: The role of health workers was the dominant factor associated with the implementation of the free health check-up program for 10th-grade students at SMA N 5 Kota Bengkulu, with the highest Exp(B) value of 16.337. It is hoped that SMA N 5 Kota Bengkulu can continue to increase support for the implementation of the Free Health Check-up (CKG) program by strengthening the role of teachers in health promotion and education activities for students.

Abstract

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) became a national mandate according to Minister of Health Regulation No. 24 of 2022, but the readiness of human resources (HR) is the key to successful implementation. This study aims to analyze the level of readiness of health workers in the Outpatient Department of RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu in facing the implementation of EMR. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a Cross-Sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 52 health workers in the Outpatient Department. Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire covering variables such as education level, years of service, profession, training history, and facilities and infrastructure. Univariate analysis results showed that out of 52 respondents, most of the respondents, 28 (53.8%), were not ready in terms of the health workers' readiness for EMR implementation. There was no correlation between the level of education and the readiness of health workers in the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the Outpatient Department of RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu. The education level of healthcare workers in the outpatient department of RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu is dominated by higher education. There is a relationship between work tenure, profession, training history, and facilities with the readiness of healthcare workers in the Implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the Outpatient Department of RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu in 2025. It is known that the variable of facilities is the dominant variable among the factors of healthcare worker readiness in the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the Outpatient Department of RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu in 2025. The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in the Outpatient Department of RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu requires improvement of infrastructure, facilities, and structured technical training to optimize the existing healthcare workers.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems among elementary school-aged children remain high and are influenced by a lack of knowledge about how to maintain dental and oral hygiene. Health education is a preventive measure aimed at improving children’s knowledge, with lectures and singing serving as educational approaches that are easy to implement. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of lectures and singing in improving oral health knowledge among students at SDIT Lantabur in Pagar Alam City in 2025. This study employed a mixed-methods design with a quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 82 first-grade students divided into two groups, each comprising 41 students who received health education using the lecture method and the singing method, respectively. Data were collected using questionnaires administered before and after the intervention and were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The results of the study show that before the lecture-based instruction, most students had insufficient knowledge (82.9%), and after the instruction, this increased to adequate knowledge (51.2%). Before the singing-based instruction, most students had insufficient knowledge (61%), and after the instruction, this increased to good knowledge (73.2%). Statistical tests showed that the lecture method was effective in improving students’ knowledge (p-value = 0.000) and the singing method was also effective (p-value = 0.000). The singing method proved to be more effective than the lecture method. The conclusion of this study is that the singing method is more effective in improving elementary school students’ knowledge of oral health.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Pembebanan pada sistem otot akibat pekerjaan fisik dapat menimbulkan gangguan musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) pada pekerja Certified Refueler Officer (CRO). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas intervensi ergonomi berupa program peregangan kerja dan pelatihan ergonomi berbasis kerangka PRECEDE-PROCEED terhadap penurunan tingkat MSDs pada pekerja CRO di Bandara Halim Perdanakusuma dan Husein Sastranegara. Ruang lingkup penelitian mencakup pengukuran keluhan muskuloskeletal, pada seluruh populasi CRO di kedua lokasi. Metode: desain quasi-experimental dengan model Nonequivalent Control Group Design menggunakan teknik total sampling terhadap 36 pekerja CRO sebagai sampel. Instrumen utama yang digunakan adalah kuesioner Nordic Body Map (NBM) untuk memetakan keluhan muskuloskeletal sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan SPSS versi 25 melalui uji univariat dan bivariat, termasuk uji Wilcoxon untuk perbandingan intrakelompok dan uji Mann-Whitney U-Test untuk perbandingan antarkelompok. Hasil dan Pembahasan: menunjukkan bahwa rerata skor MSDs kelompok eksperimen menurun dari 31 ± 5,3 menjadi 29,2 ± 1,6, sedangkan kelompok kontrol mengalami peningkatan ringan dari 31 ± 6,5 menjadi 32,1 ± 6,2. Meskipun demikian, perbedaan tersebut tidak bermakna secara statistik, baik pada uji intrakelompok eksperimen (p = 0,062), kontrol (p = 0,690), maupun uji antarkelompok post-test (p = 0,264). Kesimpulan: Disimpulkan bahwa intervensi peregangan kerja belum menghasilkan perubahan MSDs yang signifikan secara statistik, yang kemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh durasi intervensi yang belum optimal, keterbatasan sampel, dan kondisi baseline risiko yang sudah berada pada level rendah.

Abstract

Background: Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder among older adults and may reduce their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). Various physiotherapy interventions have been applied to manage this condition, including infrared (IR) therapy and William Flexion Exercise (WFE). This study aimed to analyze the effects of IR and WFE on ADL among older adults with non-specific LBP and to compare the effectiveness of both interventions. Methods: This study employed a quantitative experimental design using a two-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 30 older adults with non-specific LBP who met the inclusion criteria were selected through purposive sampling and assigned to either the IR group (n=15) or the WFE group (n=15). Interventions were administered twice weekly for four weeks. ADL was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test. Results and Discussion: The results showed that IR significantly improved ADL among older adults with non-specific LBP (p=0.000). Similarly, WFE demonstrated a significant effect on ADL improvement (p=0.000). The Mann–Whitney U Test revealed a significant difference between the two interventions (p=0.000). The WFE group had a higher mean rank (21.43) than the IR group (9.57), indicating that WFE was more effective in improving ADL among older adults with non-specific LBP. Conclusion: Both infrared therapy and William Flexion Exercise significantly improved ADL among older adults with non-specific LBP. However, William Flexion Exercise demonstrated greater effectiveness than infrared therapy in enhancing ADL performance.
