Abstract

Asthma is a heterogeneous lung disease that affects more than 300 million people. The most ideal dosage form for asthma therapy is via the inhalation route, namely with a device called an inhaler. This study aims to see the effect of providing education via video to outpatient asthma patients at the Praya Regional Hospital, Central Lombok, NTB Province. The Wilcoxon test was carried out to determine the significance of changes in knowledge and attitudes about asthma prevention before and after treatment at the 95% confidence level (ɑ=0.05). From the research results, it is known that 61.54% of the 13 respondents from asthma outpatients at Praya Regional Hospital were men, and 38.46% were women and were dominated by people aged >45 years. Patients admitted that their asthma complaints were caused by a history of allergies, as many as 61.54% were allergic to dust, followed by allergies to cold and food (seafood). The number of samples was limited so a chi-square test was carried out which then found a relationship between two variables, namely gender and length of inhaler use with the knowledge score on how to use the inhaler correctly which was marked with a significance value. <0.05.

Abstract

: This study analyzes the relationship between screen time and the incidence of speech delay in children aged 2-5 years. The Alpha generation, which was born in 2010, is known as a smart generation because it grew up in the era of technology and the internet. However, excessive use of screen time can reduce social interaction and interfere with children's speech development. The method used was descriptive quantitative with a cross sectional approach, involving 60 respondents who were selected through purposive sampling and measured using questionnaires. The results showed that 19 respondents (52.8%) with high screen time intensity experienced speech delay, while 9 respondents (50.0%) with moderate intensity and 5 respondents (83.3%) with low intensity also experienced the same. The hypothesis test using Kendall's tau c yielded a p-value of 0.461 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant association between screen time and speech delay events. The conclusion of this study confirms that screen time does not have a significant effect on children's speech development in the region.

Abstract

Pharmaceutical services in hospitals are crucial in ensuring the quality of healthcare delivery. One key performance indicator is waiting time in prescription services, which directly impacts patient satisfaction and compliance. This study evaluates the implementation of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) related to pharmacy waiting time in outpatient services at RSUD Patut Patuh Patju Gerung. The research employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, collecting 100 prescriptions (June–July 2025) to assess compliance with national standards. Findings indicate that the average waiting time for non-compounded prescriptions was 62.6 minutes (SD 33.8) and compounded prescriptions 63.9 minutes (SD 37.9), both exceeding the stipulated SPM (≤30 minutes for non-compounded, ≤60 minutes for compounded). These results highlight operational inefficiencies and resource constraints affecting compliance. The study concludes by recommending improvements in staffing, workflow optimization, and adoption of digital systems to enhance pharmaceutical service performance.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a prevalent inflammatory joint disease characterized by hyperuricemia and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joints, leading to acute pain and impaired mobility. Conventional management primarily relies on pharmacological therapy such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While effective, long-term use of these drugs carries risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, renal impairment, and cardiovascular complications. This underscores the need for non-pharmacological alternatives that are safe, cost-effective, and culturally adaptable. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains bioactive compounds—gingerol, shogaol, and zingerone—that exhibit anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ginger decoction compress in reducing pain among patients with gout arthritis in Sunggaling Hamlet. A quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design was applied, involving 44 purposively selected participants. The intervention group (n = 22) received ginger decoction compresses for three consecutive days, while the control group (n = 22) received standard care. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity in the intervention group (from a mean VAS score of 7.2 to 3.1, p < 0.05), whereas the control group showed no meaningful change. These findings support the use of ginger decoction compress as a complementary nursing intervention for pain management in gout arthritis patients.

Abstract

Efficient pharmaceutical services are essential in hospitals to ensure patient satisfaction and improve healthcare outcomes. Prescription waiting time, both compounded and non-compounded, is a critical indicator of pharmacy service quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between prescription waiting times and patient satisfaction at the outpatient pharmacy of RSUD Awet Muda Narmada. Using a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, 100 patients were selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and direct time measurements, then analyzed with Chi-Square tests. Results revealed that 80% of respondents were very satisfied with services received, and 95% experienced acceptable waiting times. The average waiting time was 41.7 minutes for compounded prescriptions and 12.3 minutes for non-compounded prescriptions. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship (p=0.000) between waiting time and patient satisfaction. These findings suggest that efficient waiting time management significantly influences satisfaction levels. Therefore, optimizing pharmacy workflow, increasing human resources, and adopting technology-based systems may further enhance service quality and patient experiences.
