Abstract

The implementation of health information systems such as SIMKES (Sistem Informasi Manajemen Kesehatan) plays a crucial role in enhancing administrative efficiency and service delivery in primary healthcare centers. However, user satisfaction remains a key indicator of system effectiveness, especially in outpatient service units. This study aims to evaluate the satisfaction level of health personnel toward the implementation of SIMKES at the outpatient unit of Teguhan Health Center, Ngawi, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, this research involved a census of 17 respondents using a validated questionnaire based on the End-User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) model, which comprises five dimensions: content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution and mean scoring to categorize satisfaction levels. Results showed that the overall satisfaction score was 73.58, indicating that users were generally satisfied with the system. All five EUCS dimensions were categorized as satisfactory, with the highest rating in the format dimension and the lowest in timeliness. Despite the overall positive assessment, users reported issues related to system speed, technical bugs, and limited guidance for system navigation. The findings suggest that while SIMKES supports outpatient service delivery effectively, improvements are needed in system responsiveness and user support to enhance satisfaction and usability. This study contributes to the ongoing evaluation and development of health information systems in resource-limited primary care settings.

Abstract

The adoption of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) is a crucial step toward improving healthcare service delivery, especially in public hospitals in developing countries. RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe, a referral hospital in Gorontalo, Indonesia, has implemented the SIMRS Khanza system to digitize inpatient registration and medical documentation. However, limited evaluation has been conducted to assess its effectiveness beyond technical performance. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of SIMRS Khanza using the Human-Organization-Technology Fit (HOT-Fit) framework, which examines the alignment between users, institutional support, and system quality. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving in-depth interviews, non-participatory observations, and document reviews with eight informants, including medical record officers, system coordinators, and hospital management. The findings reveal that although most users reported improved efficiency and satisfaction, several issues persist: incomplete training, limited adherence to SOPs, and system performance lags during peak hours. Organizational support was present but inconsistent, and documentation policies lacked specificity for digital contexts. Technologically, the system demonstrated stable output, but responsiveness and integration require enhancement. The synthesis of findings suggests that success in HIS implementation is contingent upon not only system reliability but also continuous user engagement, structured training, and dynamic policy support. Therefore, a holistic strategy integrating human, organizational, and technological components is essential to optimize SIMRS performance and sustainability.

Abstract

Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) are facilities established to implement promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative health services by the government, local authorities, and the community. The system of drug planning and procurement plays a pivotal role in determining drug availability and the budget allocation required. This study aims to evaluate the process of drug planning and procurement using a combination of the ABC-VEN and Reorder Point (ROP) methods at the Belik Community Health Center, Pemalang Regency. This research is a descriptive analysis employing a retrospective case study design with data collection from January to December 2023 and supported by interviews. The results show that the ABC-VEN combination analysis identified: AV group (1 item; 0.29%; cost IDR 4,662,000), AE (45 items; 12.86%; IDR 271,578,813), AN (7 items; 2.00%; IDR 65,272,502), BV (7 items; 2.00%; IDR 7,825,526), BE (53 items; 15.14%; IDR 70,352,382), BN (11 items; 3.14%; IDR 15,283,936), CV (19 items; 5.43%; IDR 3,687,488), CE (194 items; 55.43%; IDR 42,690,036), and CN (13 items; 3.71%; IDR 2,779,589). Drugs in groups AN, BN, and CN (Additional group) should be prioritized for reduction; AE, BE, and CE (Main group) are second priority; while AV, BV, and CV (Priority group) must always be available. The highest Reorder Point (ROP) was for Dexamethasone at 64,067 tablets, while the lowest was Betason skin ointment with 0 tubes.

Abstract

Eye fatigue is a common condition often experienced by workers in the textile industry when their eyes feel very tired due to prolonged and continuous use in low light conditions. Among textile workers in Dalangan Village, Tawangsari, Sukoharjo, 100% of the 10 respondents experienced eye fatigue due to insufficient lighting intensity that did not meet the standard (300 Lux). This study aims to investigate the relationship between lighting intensity and eye fatigue among textile workers in the central textile industry in Dalangan Village, Tawangsari, Sukoharjo. This is a quantitative study using observational analysis with a cross-sectional approach. Lighting intensity was measured using a lighting measurement observation sheet with a Lux Meter, while eye fatigue was measured using a questionnaire. The study population consisted of 35 workers, and the sample was selected using total sampling. Based on the results of the chi-square test analysis, a significant relationship was found between lighting and eye fatigue among textile workers, with a p-value of <0.05 and a p-value of 0.039. The analysis yielded a PR value of 0.727, meaning that respondents with inadequate lighting have a 0.727 times higher risk of experiencing eye fatigue compared to respondents with adequate lighting. We recommend that weaving workers pay more attention to eye health and ensure that the lighting levels used comply with standards.

Abstract

Effective nursing documentation and optimal nurse performance are essential pillars of high-quality healthcare services. Despite standardised guidelines being available, incomplete documentation and low compliance rates persist in various hospital settings. This study investigated the impact of implementing the 3S-based Nursing Care Guidelines, comprising standardised nursing diagnoses (SDKI), interventions (SIKI), and outcomes (SLKI), along with structured supervision by the hospital's nursing committee, on improving documentation quality and nurse performance. Employing a true experimental pre-posttest control group design, the research involved 49 nurses allocated into three groups: control, intervention with 3S, and intervention with 3S combined with the supervision nursing committee. Data were collected through observation sheets, document audits, and performance checklists. Statistical analyses using Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests revealed significant post-intervention improvements (p = 0.000) in both outcome areas. The results affirm that integrating structured care models and active supervision effectively enhances the quality of nursing care delivery.

Abstract

Child abuse is a significant public health problem with long-lasting impacts on the physical, emotional, and psychological growth of children. Perception and awareness of child abuse among women in Okabere Community, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, were examined. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used, and the data were collected from 133 women using a structured questionnaire. Findings revealed that 82% of the respondents were aware of child abuse, and 62.4% quoted schools and 20.3% places of worship as sources of information. Most were aware of sexual (28.6%) and physical abuse (21.8%) more than emotional abuse (17.3%) and neglect (14.3%). Perception was influenced by socio-cultural as well as economic influences because 60.2% quoted cultural beliefs and 80.5% blamed poverty for abuse. While almost all of the participants agreed that child abuse was a serious issue (80.5%), only 47.4% engaged in prevention activities. Community education, culturally targeted interventions, and women's empowerment are urgently needed for the prevention of child abuse in rural areas, as the study suggests.
