Abstract

This study analyzed data gathered from healthcare professionals, parents, and existing health records through questionnaires to objectively evaluate the impact of immunization programs in lowering childhood illnesses. Measles (95.0%), polio (93.5%), diphtheria (91.0%), pertussis (89.5%), and hepatitis B (90.0%) vaccination rates were all high. These illnesses were also found to have low incidence rates, with measles and polio having the lowest rates (0.5 and 0.1 per 1,000, respectively). The effectiveness of vaccination has been found to be influenced by a number of factors, including healthcare accessibility, socioeconomic position, vaccine awareness, perceived vaccine safety, and community engagement. Despite the study's general success, there is always room for improvement, especially in terms of addressing socioeconomic hurdles and preserving pertussis coverage. These results are consistent with previous research and emphasize the necessity for ongoing immunization campaigns, booster shots, and focused community involvement initiatives to improve the efficacy of immunization programs and safeguard children's health throughout the world.

Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study is to discover how telemedicine contributed to increase access to healthcare in rural regions by looking at the point of view of both the involved healthcare professionals and of the patients. For the geographic areas that are poorly endowed with medical facilities telecommunication is seen as an efficient way of overcoming geographical barriers and shortages of medical equipment. In this study, the cross-sectional quasi-experimental design utilizes semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and observation to establish the barriers, effectiveness, and socio-cultural factors regarding the telemedicine adoption. The study shows that telemedicine improves the possibilities of getting an initial consultation regardless of geographic distance, helps to avoid delays while finding a specialist, and creates a connection to advanced treatment. However, challenges which act as barriers include; weak internet connection, low technology literacy, and resistance to change. Inequalities and cultural shifts in patient and healthcare provider’s perceptions of technology, as well as comfort with tele-communication and tele-befriending over in-person contact, also influence the readiness of patients and healthcare officials to adopt telepharmacy. Power relations also come out in the presentation, with telemedicine holding benefits, especially for women in the inaccessible regions. The study further underscores the importance of a better appreciation of context when adopting telemedicine programs for greater improvement and sustainably. In summary, this paper adds value to extant knowledge by exploring the mediated nature of technology culture and health care delivery in hard-to-reach regions and offering direction for enhancing the use of telemedicine solutions in rural regions.

Abstract

A research analysis examines how hospital administrative approaches affect programs which develop and train medical staff. This research studied the relationship between administrative factors such as leadership approaches and resource advantages and employee development support which determine workforce training initiative performance. A total of 450 healthcare professionals took part in the survey which targeted medical staff in both public and private hospitals operating in different service types and sizes within the region. The researchers analyzed the data using descriptive and inferential statistical procedures which included Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Regression Analysis as well as One-Way ANOVA. The research demonstrated that leadership approaches together with financial support allocation and administrative collaboration positively affected the workforce development outcomes through improved staff performance and enhanced motivation and higher job satisfaction. Training results varied between different hospital settings because larger institutions demonstrated better outcomes during the study. The research results emphasize how well-planned administrative procedures enhance the performance levels of workforce development initiatives. The research adds evidence-based knowledge about hospital administration-role training relationships while providing actionable recommendations to healthcare leaders who want to enhance their training programs. Future research needs to analyze time-based data along with cultural influences and resource management challenges to develop strategies which enhance healthcare employee training programs

Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of Automated Dispensing Systems (ADS) on medication safety and workflow efficiency in hospital pharmacies. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing pharmacy operations before and after the implementation of ADS in a tertiary care hospital. Data were collected from 50 pharmacy staff members and secondary data on medication errors and workflow efficiency, with operational metrics such as dispensing time, error rates, and prescription processing rates. The results indicated a 77.1% reduction in medication errors, with significant improvements in the accuracy of drug dispensing, dosage, and labeling. Additionally, workflow efficiency was enhanced, with dispensing times reduced by an average of 7.4 minutes per prescription, and the number of prescriptions processed per hour increased by 60%. Paired t-tests, regression analysis, and ANOVA tests were used to analyze the data, revealing that ADS adoption led to measurable improvements in both safety and efficiency. The study further found that pharmacist training and system readiness were critical factors in maximizing these benefits. These findings suggest that ADS technology can significantly improve medication safety by reducing errors and enhancing workflow, offering valuable insights for hospitals considering the implementation of automated systems. This research fills a gap in existing literature by providing empirical data on the specific impact of ADS on different types of medication errors and by offering a comprehensive analysis of both operational metrics and staff perceptions.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of preventive health measures on community health outcomes in Makassar. Employing a quantitative approach, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 400 adult residents to assess their engagement in preventive behaviors, including vaccination, regular health check-ups, physical activity, and healthy eating habits. The study also explored the relationship between these behaviors and self-reported health outcomes, such as the absence of chronic diseases and overall well-being. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including Pearson correlation, regression analysis, and ANOVA, were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between preventive health behaviors and better health outcomes, with vaccination showing the strongest association. Additionally, higher engagement in physical activity and healthy eating was found to predict improved health, particularly among individuals with higher education and income levels. These results highlight the importance of promoting preventive health measures to improve public health in urban areas, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This study contributes to the understanding of how socio-demographic factors influence health behaviors and outcomes in a specific urban context and underscores the need for targeted health interventions. The findings suggest that public health policies should focus on increasing awareness and participation in preventive health measures across diverse socio-economic groups to enhance community well-being.
