Abstract

JKN capitation funds are an important financing source supporting the sustainability of basic health services at community health centers. This study aims to analyze stakeholder perceptions of the effectiveness of health financing through JKN capitation funds at Remboken Community Health Center based on the indicators of goal attainment, integration, and adaptation according to Steers (1985). This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, totaling five people, consisting of the Head of the Health Center, the JKN Treasurer, the Head of Administration, and two active JKN patients. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show that goal attainment of the capitation fund has run well, with funds allocated according to the 70% service and 30% operational provisions. Integration among stakeholders is generally good, although delays in fund disbursement still occur at the beginning of each year due to treasurer appointment administration. Remboken Health Center is able to adapt to these obstacles so that services keep running optimally. In conclusion, the management of JKN capitation funds at Remboken Health Center is generally effective, although disbursement timeliness and supporting facilities still need improvement.

Abstract

Pharmacy services play an important role in improving the quality of healthcare services. Based on observations conducted at Annisa Medika 1 Primary Clinic Pekanbaru, the existing pharmacy queue system was still integrated with other healthcare services, resulting in unorganized queue management, the absence of a dedicated pharmacy queue monitoring system, and the lack of estimated waiting time information for patients. This study aimed to develop a web-based pharmacy queue information system to improve the effectiveness of pharmacy services at Annisa Medika 1 Primary Clinic Pekanbaru. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the Waterfall development method, which consists of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and questionnaires distributed to pharmacy staff and patients. System evaluation included functional testing (Black Box Testing) and feasibility testing using the Guttman Scale, while the data were analyzed descriptively using quantitative methods. The results showed that all system features functioned properly based on the Black Box Testing results. The feasibility test yielded a score of 93.3% from pharmacy staff, 86.3% from patients, and an overall feasibility score of 87.0%, indicating that the system is feasible for implementation. The developed system assists pharmacy staff in managing pharmacy queues and enables patients to access queue information quickly, easily, and efficiently. Therefore, the web-based pharmacy queue information system is considered feasible to support pharmacy services at Annisa Medika 1 Primary Clinic Pekanbaru.

Abstract

Lumbar Spinal Injury can cause various pathological abnormalities, such as compression fractures, burst fractures, and compression of neurological structures that may lead to permanent neurological deficits. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the imaging modalities frequently used in Spinal Injury cases because it provides detailed visualization of soft tissues and the spinal cord. Several studies have reported the use of T1-weighted (T1W), T2-weighted (T2W), Short Tau Inversion Recovery (STIR), and Fast Field Echo (FFE) sequences in MRI examinations of spinal injuries. However, the MRI protocol at the Radiology Department of West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Hospital utilizes T1W-TSE, T2W TSE, T2W-SPIR, and myelography sequences without the routine use of the FFE sequence. This study aimed to analyze the MRI examination procedure of the Lumbosacral Vertebrae in Spinal Injury cases and to determine the reasons for not routinely using the FFE sequence. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, structured interviews, and documentation. The respondents consisted of three radiographers and three radiologists involved in MRI examinations. The results showed that the FFE sequence has not been included as a routine sequence in MRI examinations of Lumbosacral Spinal Injury cases at West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Hospital, but is used as an additional sequence based on specific clinical indications. This sequence is beneficial for detecting hemorrhage due to its sensitivity to susceptibility effects; however, it is not routinely applied because most cases examined do not present indications of hemorrhage, and the sequence may produce artifacts that can reduce image quality.

Abstract

Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei and is primarily transmitted through direct contact or contaminated fomites. The disease is commonly associated with overcrowded living conditions and poor personal and environmental hygiene. Scabies remains a public health concern and has been classified by the World Health Organization as a neglected tropical disease. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with scabies occurrence among students at Hidayatullah Islamic Boarding School, Southeast Aceh Regency. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from June 2024 to June 2025 involving 120 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS through univariate, bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, and multivariate analysis using logistic regression. The results showed significant associations between scabies occurrence and students’ knowledge, attitudes, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, and support from boarding school management. Among these factors, personal hygiene was identified as the most dominant factor associated with scabies occurrence. These findings highlight the importance of improving students’ knowledge and attitudes, strengthening personal hygiene practices, maintaining adequate environmental sanitation, and enhancing support from boarding school management. Collaboration between boarding schools and healthcare providers is also essential to strengthen scabies prevention and control, particularly among newly admitted students.

Abstract

Acne, or acne vulgaris, is a common skin disease that frequently occurs and can be a source of concern among adolescents. One solution for treating acne is the use of facial masks. Clay masks are a type of facial mask that offer several benefits, including the ability to soften the skin and remove sebum from the facial skin. Bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum) are plants that possess antibacterial activity due to the presence of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins. This study aimed to formulate a clay mask preparation containing ethanol extract of bay leaves as an anti-acne treatment. The research stages included the extraction of bay leaves and formulation of the clay mask preparation containing bay leaf extract. The formulations were prepared at concentrations of 15%, 20%, and 25%. The prepared formulations were evaluated through organoleptic testing, homogeneity testing, stability testing, pH testing, drying time testing, spreadability testing, preference testing, irritation testing, and antibacterial activity testing. The results showed that the ethanol extract of bay leaves could be formulated into an anti-acne clay mask preparation, as it met the requirements of all the tests conducted. The clay masks containing ethanol extract of bay leaves demonstrated antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, with inhibition zone diameters of 14.33 mm at a concentration of 15%, 17.33 mm at a concentration of 20%, and 18 mm at a concentration of 25%, all categorized as very strong antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Snakehead fish (Channa striata) is a highly nutritious food product. However, unhygienic smoking processes may lead to contamination by pathogenic microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus, which has the potential to cause food poisoning. This study aimed to determine the level of bacterial contamination in smoked snakehead fish (ikan gabus salai) sold in traditional markets, particularly to identify the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and to determine the total bacterial count based on the SNI 7388:2009 standard. This study employed a laboratory experimental method using smoked snakehead fish samples collected from four vendors at Simpang Limun Traditional Market. Bacterial identification was conducted through a series of tests, including growth on the selective medium Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA), Gram staining, and biochemical tests such as motility, catalase, coagulase, and Voges-Proskauer (VP) tests. In addition, the Total Plate Count (TPC) was determined using the pour plate method on Plate Count Agar (PCA) medium. The results showed that yellow-colored colonies on MSA medium indicated the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Gram staining revealed purple-colored cocci arranged in grape-like clusters, which are characteristic of Gram-positive bacteria. The biochemical tests further supported these findings, showing positive reactions for catalase, coagulase, and VP tests. The TPC values obtained from several samples showed that the number of colonies did not exceed the maximum limit specified by SNI, namely 5 × 10⁵ colonies/g, indicating that although S. aureus was detected in the tested smoked snakehead fish, the products were still within the permissible bacterial contamination limit and considered safe for consumption.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease whose prevalence continues to increase globally and nationally, driven substantially by modifiable lifestyle factors. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between lifestyle factors (physical activity, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, dietary patterns, and stress) and the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus among patients at Prima Husada Cipta Hospital, Medan. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a case-control approach. A total of 200 respondents, comprising 100 cases and 100 controls, were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test and multivariate logistic regression with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Bivariate analysis showed significant relationships between the incidence of DM and physical activity (p = 0.000), smoking habits (p = 0.000), alcohol consumption (p = 0.000), and dietary pattern (p = 0.003), while stress showed no significant relationship (p = 0.262). Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that physical activity was the most dominant factor influencing DM with the highest Odds Ratio (OR = 48.966; 95% CI 5.981–400.891; p = 0.000). Conclusion: Physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and dietary pattern are significantly associated with the incidence of DM, with physical activity as the dominant determinant. Promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviours is essential in preventing DM.

Abstract

Moisturizers are a type of cosmetic product that function to hydrate the skin by reducing water evaporation from the skin surface and attracting water from the air into the dehydrated stratum corneum. Ingredients that reduce water evaporation are known as occlusives, while those capable of attracting water into the skin layers are referred to as humectants. This study employed an experimental method with a purposive sampling technique. The samples used were aqueous extracts of cucumber fruit (Cucumis sativus L.) combined with tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum L.) juice, obtained from fresh fruits, followed by phytochemical screening to determine their secondary metabolite content. The preparation was formulated as a moisturizer gel with varying concentrations of the combined cucumber and tomato fruit extracts of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Physical quality tests were subsequently conducted, including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, adhesion, spreadability, and irritation tests, as well as a moisturizer effectiveness test using a Skin Analyzer on volunteers. The results of the phytochemical screening showed that the combination of cucumber and tomato fruit extracts contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids/triterpenoids, and glycosides. The moisturizer gel preparations containing the combination of cucumber and tomato fruit extracts demonstrated good stability, spread easily on the skin, did not cause irritation, and had a pH suitable for the skin. The effectiveness test showed that the highest increase in skin moisture was obtained at a concentration of 15%, with an average increase in moisture content of 72.11 ± 12.23%.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease characterized by a persistent increase in blood pressure with a systolic value ≥140 mmHg and diastolic ≥90 mmHg, and represents one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. According to WHO (2023), 33% of the world's population suffers from hypertension, while the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) recorded hypertension as the highest risk factor for mortality at 10.2%. At Puskesmas Perbaungan, 1,327 hypertensive patients were recorded in 2025. Non-pharmacological interventions such as Moringa oleifera leaf tea decoction—rich in antioxidants, potassium, magnesium, and anti-inflammatory compounds—combined with lifestyle education are considered an affordable and accessible complementary approach in blood pressure management. This study aimed to determine the effect of Moringa leaf tea decoction and lifestyle education on blood pressure reduction in hypertensive patients at Puskesmas Perbaungan, Serdang Bedagai Regency. This was a quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test with control group design. Sampling used purposive sampling with a total of 60 respondents divided into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The intervention group received Moringa leaf tea decoction combined with lifestyle education, while the control group received no intervention. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer before and after intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test at a 95% confidence level. Results showed that in the intervention group, the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 160.53 mmHg to 147.23 mmHg (a reduction of 13.30 mmHg), and the mean diastolic blood pressure decreased from 96.33 mmHg to 87.90 mmHg (a reduction of 8.43 mmHg). The Wilcoxon test showed p-value = 0.02 for systolic (Z = -3.051) and p-value = 0.00 for diastolic (Z = -3.501), both below the significance level of 0.05. The control group showed no significant change (p = 0.46). It is concluded that the combined administration of Moringa leaf tea decoction and lifestyle education significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This intervention is recommended as a safe, affordable, and evidence-based complementary therapy in hypertension management at the primary health care level.
