Abstract

Background: Compliance of pregnant women in taking iron (Fe) tablets is an important factor in preventing pregnancy anemia. However, compliance rates are still low in some areas. An educational approach based on local culture such as SIPAKATAU (mutual respect in Bugis-Makassar culture) is considered to be able to increase the role of the family in supporting regular Fe consumption. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group design approach. The sample consisted of 32 pregnant women who were randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group that was educated with the SIPAKATAU approach model and the control group that did not receive the education. Data analysis used Fisher's Exact Test and Odds Ratio (OR) tests. Results: Results showed that pregnant women who received education with the SIPAKATAU approach model had a 2.667 times higher compliance rate in taking Fe tablets compared to pregnant women who did not receive the education (p = 0.00; OR = 2,667). Conclusion: Education with the SIPAK approach model is effective in increasing the adherence of pregnant women in consuming Fe tablets. The application of this model is recommended for midwives to optimize the role of the family as companions and supervisors in iron supplementation programs during pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is one of the most common lung infections and a leading cause of death among children under five. One of the main causative agents is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Prevention of pneumonia can be carried out through simple interventions, particularly by parents, such as the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. A total of 114 parents of toddlers aged 2–59 months who visited the MTBS (Integrated Management of Childhood Illness) polyclinic at Tawiri Community Health Center were selected using purposive sampling. Results: The results showed that more than half of the respondents (55.3%) did not practice proper handwashing with soap. Most of the children (98.2%) were exposed to poor household air quality, and the majority of respondents (93.9%) did not implement correct coughing etiquette. Conclusion: Pneumonia prevention efforts among toddlers aged 2–59 months at the MTBS polyclinic of Tawiri Community Health Center were not optimal. It is recommended that the health center intensify health education for parents and community health workers regarding pneumonia prevention in toddlers.

Abstract

Background: Hospitals as health care facilities have an obligation to patients to provide fast and precise services using complete facilities, one of the efforts of health services in improving service quality is to utilize health information technology. Major challenges are still faced by medical personnel as the main users of the system, especially in terms of ease of access, data interoperability, and time efficiency in medical records. The purpose of the study was to analyze the factors that influence the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) with the Human Organization Technology (HOT) FIT approach at Ahmad Dahlan Kediri Hospital. Method : Observational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population of all health workers at Ahmad Dahlan Kediri Hospital is 382. The sample taken in this study was 192 respondents through the Krejcie and Morgan formula with purposive sampling technique. Independent variables are human resource aspects, organizational aspects and technological aspects. The dependent variable is the application of EMR. The research instrument used a questionnaire taken from previous research. The analysis used was univariate analysis, bivariate analysis and multivariate with linear regression using SPSS 23. Results: The linear regression test conducted shows that there is a relationship between family support (p=0.000) and government support (p=0.000) on the quality of life of the elderly, the most influential variable is family support with a significance level of p=0.000 and B=0.246. Then, the second analysis shows that there is a relationship between family support (p=0.000) and government support (p=0.018) on the health status of the elderly, the most influential variable is family support with a significance level of p=0.000 and B=0.447. Conclusion: In the early stages of using EMR, many medical personnel experience difficulties in adapting to the new system. Some of the obstacles that often occur are lack of adequate training, resistance to change, and limited infrastructure that supports the implementation of EMR. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed to improve the skills of medical personnel in using the system, including continuous training and socialization.
