Abstract

The Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is an integral information system used in hospitals, significantly impacting the performance of both service providers and patients. Enhancing the implementation of HMIS, particularly through system updates, can facilitate easier processes and access for patients and service providers. Digitalizing HMIS enables the production of highly useful information that can be more effectively shared among healthcare workers at all levels of the healthcare organization. The current study utilized a cross-sectional design, involving a sample of 639 hospital employees from various districts and cities in Indonesia. The independent variables examined were the maturity of financing and network technology, while the dependent variable was the digitalization of the HMIS. Data collection was conducted via a structured questionnaire, and the collected data were analyzed using a linear regression test. The analysis revealed that both financing maturity (b= 1.24; 95% CI= 0.59 to 1.89; p<0.001) and network technology infrastructure (b= 1.64; 95% CI= 0.96 to 2.33; p<0.001) had a significant positive effect on HMIS digitalization. These results underscore the importance of adequate financing and robust network technology in advancing the digitalization of HMIS. The findings suggest that hospital administrators should prioritize securing mature financing mechanisms and investing in advanced network technology infrastructure to enhance HMIS digitalization. Improved digitalization of HMIS can lead to better information sharing and coordination among healthcare providers, ultimately improving hospital performance and patient care.

Abstract

Education about first aid of accident in communities is important. Currently, technology for education has developed. It is not only through books or leaflets, but video is a more interesting medium for public education. Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of educational videos on first aid knowledge and skills for home injury in the village community. Methods We used quasi experimental research design with 59 samples obtained by purposive sampling divided into 2 groups, namely control (n=30) and intervention(n=29). The intervention group was given education using video, while the control group received education using booklet. Before the intervention, a pre-test was carried out, then the video and booklet were given to respondents to read and view,  after one week the post-test was measured again. The variables studied are first aid knowledge and skills. The instrument used is a questionnaire about first knowledge and skills which is filled in by the community. Data analysis used paired t test and independent t test. Result. The results show there was a significant increase in knowledge scores in the control group (p value = 0.009), but there was no significant increase in the intervention group (p value 0.677). Meanwhile, in the skills variable, there was a significant increase in scores in the control group (p value 0.001) and in the intervention group (0.024). Between two groups measurements, they did not differ significantly between the knowledge of the control group and the intervention group (p value of knowledge 0.162; p value of skills 0.360). Even though there is no difference between the control and intervention groups, both educational methods can increase the knowledge and skills of village communities in providing home injury first aid. Conclusion In conclusion,  educational videos themselves do not have a significant impact on first aid knowledge. This must be combined with modules and assistance from health workers to provide education.

Abstract

Obesity is one of the main causes of metabolic syndrome. This incident is triggered by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota, resulting in inflammation, impaired tissue function and insulin resistance. Lactic acid bacteria, which are probiotics capable of balancing the gut microbiota, are present in fermented milk. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the variations in SCFA concentrations following dangke administration. The method in this research was a true experimental design, specifically a completely randomized, post test only design with a control group. This study used thirty male Sprague Dawley rats were split up into five equal groups, obesity intervention (X1, X2 and X3), obese control (P1), and health control (P0). A high fat sucrose diet (HFSD) was used to promote obesity in P1, X1, X2 and X3, whereas (P0) served as a healthy control group. Additionally, the X1, X2, and X3 groups received doses of L-Bio at 0,018 g/200 g body weight, dangke at 1,8 g/200 g bodyweight, and dangke at 3,6 g/200 g bodyweight, respectively for 28 days. Data were analyzed statistically with One Way Anova test and significant data (<0.05) were further tested using Bonferroni Post Hoc test.  The result of this study showed the highest SCFA Acetate, Propionat, Butirat, and Total of SCFA (P0> X3> X2> X1, P1) (p=0.000). The conclusion of this study found that giving a dose of 3.6 g/ 200 g body weight of dangke could elevate SCFA levels thereby, dangke can enhance obesity management by boosting the synthesis of SCFA.

Abstract

Adolescents have a fairly high risk of reproductive health problems, namely premarital sexual behavior. One of the factors that causes adolescent sexual behavior is a lack of reproductive health knowledge. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of reproductive health videos which include physical changes, healthy association, prevention of sexual harassment and the impact of promiscuity. This research method uses a quasi-experimental pre and post-test design with a sample of 30 students aged 10-12 years in three elementary schools and supported by qualitative data through interviews. Data analysis includes quantitative (univariable) and qualitative data with content analysis. The study's results obtained a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) so that statistically there was a significant difference between the respondents' knowledge before and after the intervention. A total of 3 respondents experienced a decrease in knowledge, 6 respondents remained, and 21 respondents increased. After participating in learning using reproductive health videos, student assessments were obtained, namely 27 students (90%) gave very good opinions, and 3 students (10%) gave good opinions about the use of videos as learning media. Conclusion: The use of reproductive health videos in elementary school students can increase knowledge about reproductive health to prevent risky sexual behaviors

Abstract

Sexual violence against adolescent girls is a global issue with high prevalence and diverse forms. In Palu City, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, this problem is critical. This study assesses the impact of educational interventions using animated videos on adolescent girls' knowledge of sexual violence based on Law No. 12 of 2022. A pre-experimental, pretest-posttest one-group design was conducted from May 7-15, 2024, with 50 class X students from SMAN 5 Palu selected through stratified random sampling. The intervention was animated video counseling, and the outcome was knowledge of sexual violence. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test at a 95% confidence level. Before the intervention, 80% of respondents had insufficient knowledge about sexual violence. Post-intervention, 74% had good knowledge, with only 4% remaining insufficient. The Wilcoxon test confirmed the intervention's effectiveness (Z = -6.125, p < 0.000). The study demonstrates the efficacy of animated video education in enhancing understanding of sexual violence among adolescent girls. The improvement in knowledge supports using audiovisual media in educational interventions for sensitive topics. Animated video educational interventions significantly improve knowledge of sexual violence among adolescent girls and should be widely implemented in schools. Future research should use larger samples and qualitative methods to explore the intervention's impact further.

Abstract

Anemia is a health problem that can occur in all age groups from toddlers to old age. Young women are susceptible to suffering from anemia because they experience a menstrual cycle every month. This study aims to determine the influence of age, menstrual pattern, nutritional adequacy rate (energy adequacy rate and protein adequacy rate), and nutritional status on the incidence of anemia in female students at Sidoarjo Islamic Middle School. The design of this research is observational analytic with a cross sectional approach. The population was female students at Sidoarjo Islamic Middle School with a sample size of 53 people. The independent variables in this study were age, menstrual pattern, nutritional adequacy rate (energy adequacy rate and protein adequacy rate), and nutritional status; and dependent variable is anemia. Data collection was carried out by checking Hb and Hct levels, measuring body weight and height, and filling out questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed using path analysis using smart Partial Least Square (PLS). There is a significant effect of protein adequacy on hemoglobin (Hb) levels. Female students with adequate protein intake tend to have better Hb levels, which play a role in preventing anemia. Therefore, meeting optimal protein needs is very important to support blood health and prevent health problems in female students.

Abstract

Uncertainty about newborn care can lead to stress and inadequate coping mechanisms in mothers of low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. This study aimed to assess mothers' knowledge of LBW infant care and its relationship with coping mechanisms. The study variables included maternal knowledge of LBW care and coping strategies. The study used a descriptive correlational design, with 90 mothers of LBW infants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of three sections: Coping Strategies Scale, the Maternal Knowledge Score, and demographic information. Statistical analysis was performed descriptively and inferentially using Pearson's correlation test. The results showed significant differences in LBW-care knowledge (p=0.02) and coping strategies (p=0.003). A significant correlation was found between maternal knowledge and coping strategies (r=0.242, p<0.015). This conclusion indicates that mothers with greater knowledge have better coping mechanisms. It is recommended that nurses provide proactive and engaging learning opportunities in health education programs on infant care to enhance the confidence and coping strategies of mothers with LBW infants..

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of complementary cupping therapy on immunity changes, specifically interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels, in coastal fishermen with hypertension. Forty participants, aged 20-50 years, were randomly allocated to either a cupping therapy intervention group or a placebo group. Blood pressure, pulse rate, and IL-10 levels were measured before and two weeks after the intervention. The cupping therapy procedure followed a six-step protocol, including informed consent, equipment preparation, point selection, scarification, and post-treatment care. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. The results showed a significant increase in IL-10 levels (P=0.049) and a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P<0.05) in the hypertension group receiving cupping therapy. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in the normotensive group. The findings suggest that wet cupping therapy may enhance the immune system by increasing IL-10 levels and lowering blood pressure in hypertensive coastal fishermen. The underlying mechanisms may involve local inflammation, activation of the complement system, increased nitric oxide production, and stimulation of the autonomic nervous system. However, the limited sample size and potential methodological limitations warrant further high-quality trials to confirm these results. The study concludes that wet cupping therapy could serve as a viable complementary treatment for hypertension in fishing communities, but a comprehensive approach considering cultural, religious, and psychological perspectives is necessary to understand its full impact on individuals and society.

Abstract

The prevalence of dental caries among children in Indonesia is alarmingly high, with 84% of children aged 5 to 12 years experiencing dental problems. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a dental health education intervention in enhancing toothbrushing independence among school students in Banda Aceh. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments was employed, involving 87 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an observation form and analyzed using univariate analysis and the Wilcoxon test. The results revealed that before the intervention, 58.6% of respondents were partially independent in tooth brushing, while only 21.8% were entirely independent. After the intervention, the number of independent children increased by 94.7%, and the non-independent category decreased by 35.3%. The Wilcoxon test showed a statistically significant difference in tooth brushing independence before and after the intervention (Z=-3.55, p=0.0004). The findings highlight the importance of practical education in equipping children with the necessary skills to maintain oral health. Developing a comprehensive Dental Care Nursing Service Model integrating innovative educational methods and involving parents and teachers is recommended to foster sustainable, healthy habits among school students in Banda Aceh.
