Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. The increasing prevalence of Type 2 DM is influenced by unhealthy lifestyles, lack of physical activity, and changes in people's dietary patterns. One effort to control blood sugar levels is the use of local herbal plants as complementary therapy. This study aims to analyze the effect of providing herbal drinks based on local plants on glycemic control in patients with Type 2 DM in Tanah Merah Village, Badar District, Southeast Aceh Regency. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design through a one-group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 60 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by examining blood glucose levels before and after administering the herbal drink based on local plants using a glucometer. Data analysis used a paired t-test with a significance level of 0.05.α= 0.05. The results of the study showed that the average blood glucose level before giving herbal drinks was 238.6 mg/dL and after the intervention decreased to 187.3 mg/dL. The results of the statistical test obtained a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that there was a significant effect of giving local plant-based herbal drinks on glycemic control in Type 2 DM patients. A decrease in blood glucose levels of 51.3 mg/dL indicates that local plant-based herbal drinks have the potential to help control blood sugar levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. The results of this study are expected to be a source of information for the public and health workers regarding the use of local herbal plants as complementary therapy in controlling Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Gallstone disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions requiring surgical intervention worldwide. Over the past few decades, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has replaced open cholecystectomy (OC) as the gold standard in gallbladder surgical management. Although its clinical advantages have been widely recognized, a systematic evaluation of its impact on hospital operational efficiency and resource optimization through length of stay is still needed. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in improving healthcare efficiency and shortening patient length of stay compared with open surgical procedures. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method through a literature search in various scientific databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The literature analyzed included meta-analyses, randomized clinical trials, and cohort studies comparing the outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy. A total of eight key journals were selected for further analysis, focusing on mortality, postoperative complications, length of stay, and healthcare cost-efficiency. The study showed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy significantly reduced mortality by 84% (RR 0.16) and reduced the risk of postoperative complications by 54% compared to open surgical procedures. In terms of service efficiency, this procedure was also shown to shorten the average length of stay by 4.08 days compared to open cholecystectomy. In several healthcare centers, the average length of stay for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy was only around 2.1 days, compared to 5.6 days for open procedures. Furthermore, the implementation of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been proven safe, provides significant hospital cost savings, and improves patient satisfaction through a faster recovery process. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is more effective than open cholecystectomy in improving healthcare efficiency. The significant reduction in length of stay and the potential for outpatient procedures make this method an important strategy in optimizing hospital bed utilization and reducing healthcare system costs. Therefore, investment in infrastructure and development of laparoscopic services is highly recommended to increase accessibility of more efficient, safe, and high-quality surgical services.

Abstract

Measles is a dangerous contagious disease, especially for children, and can be prevented through immunization. However, measles immunization coverage in Indonesia has declined, including in the service area of UPT Puskesmas sering , which experienced an outbreak at the beginning of 2025 with 15 confirmed cases. Low family awareness, particularly the lack of support from husbands or other family members, has become one of the obstacles to immunization uptake. To determine the level of family awareness regarding the importance of measles immunization in the working area of UPT Puskesmas sering . This study used a descriptive observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all families with members suffering from measles, and the sample was selected using total sampling. The instruments used were questionnaires on the level of community awareness regarding measles vaccination and family support, which were used to assess knowledge and family support. Of 20 respondents, most were aged 36-45 years (45%), had junior high school education (60%), and worked as housewives (60%). Most respondents had good knowledge about measles immunization (70%), but only 35% received good family support, while 40% received poor support. Only 33.3% of respondents stated that their children had received measles immunization. Although family knowledge was generally good, support for measles immunization remained low. The lack of support was influenced by religious beliefs, concerns about side effects, and low awareness of the importance of immunization. Educational efforts involving religious leaders and personal approaches are needed to increase immunization coverage.

Abstract

Service quality is a critical determinant of patient satisfaction and loyalty in healthcare settings, as it reflects the extent to which services meet patient expectations. This study aimed to examine the effects of trust and patient satisfaction on outpatient loyalty at Sundari Hospital in 2025. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 99 outpatient respondents who completed structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate techniques, with the chi-square test applied to assess the associations between variables. The results indicated that 63.6% of respondents reported high levels of trust, 60.6% reported high satisfaction, and 56.6% demonstrated loyalty toward the hospital. Chi-square analysis revealed that both trust (p = 0.003) and satisfaction (p = 0.012) significantly influenced outpatient loyalty. The findings confirm that enhancing patient trust and satisfaction can strengthen loyalty, which is essential for sustaining patient engagement and promoting repeat visits. These results provide practical insights for healthcare managers seeking to improve service quality and patient-centered strategies, highlighting the importance of fostering trust and satisfaction to achieve better patient retention and long-term institutional performance.
