Abstract

Health systems worldwide continue to face complex challenges related to rising disease burden, health inequities, and fragmented service delivery. The separation between public health and clinical care often limits the effectiveness of preventive and curative interventions in improving population health outcomes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the integration of public health and clinical care and population health outcomes. A quantitative observational study with a longitudinal approach was conducted involving 50 healthcare professionals from primary healthcare facilities and public health institutions. Data were collected using structured questionnaires to assess levels of service integration and secondary health system data to measure population health outcomes. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and regression analysis to determine associations between integration indicators and health outcomes. The findings showed that higher levels of public health–clinical care integration were significantly associated with improved preventive service coverage (? = 0.42; p < 0.001) and increased early disease detection rates (? = 0.39; p = 0.003). Additionally, greater integration was linked to a reduction in avoidable hospital admissions (? = ?0.36; p = 0.012). These results indicate that coordinated preventive and curative services contribute positively to population health performance. Integrating public health and clinical care is associated with measurable improvements in population health outcomes. Strengthening collaboration, referral coordination, and shared information systems may enhance health system efficiency and equity. Integrated service models should be prioritized as a strategic approach to improving sustainable population health outcomes

Abstract

The sustainability of healthcare systems depends largely on the capacity of health professionals to work collaboratively across disciplines. Traditional discipline-based health education often limits coordination and integration in healthcare practice, reducing system efficiency and long-term sustainability. Interdisciplinary approaches in health education have been increasingly promoted as a strategy to prepare a collaborative workforce capable of addressing complex health challenges. This study aimed to examine the relationship between interdisciplinary approaches in health education and sustainable healthcare practice. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 60 health professionals and health educators from multiple disciplines, including medicine, nursing, public health, pharmacy, and allied health sciences. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring interdisciplinary education components and indicators of sustainable healthcare practice. Descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis were used to assess the association between interdisciplinary education and sustainable healthcare practice. The findings revealed that respondents reported moderate to high levels of interdisciplinary health education and sustainable healthcare practice. Regression analysis showed a significant positive association between interdisciplinary health education and sustainable healthcare practice (? = 0.48; p < 0.001). Higher levels of interdisciplinary learning were particularly associated with improved collaborative service delivery, preventive-oriented practice, and more efficient use of healthcare resources. Interdisciplinary approaches in health education are significantly associated with sustainable healthcare practice. Strengthening interdisciplinary learning within health education curricula may enhance collaborative competencies and support the development of more efficient, preventive, and sustainable healthcare systems. These findings highlight the importance of interdisciplinary education as a strategic foundation for advancing sustainable healthcare practice

Abstract

Increasing complexity of patient needs requires healthcare professionals to collaborate effectively across disciplines while applying evidence-based practice. However, professional silos and inconsistent use of evidence often limit the quality, safety, and coordination of patient care. Evidence-based collaboration across health professions has therefore emerged as a key strategy to improve patient care outcomes. This study aimed to examine the relationship between evidence-based collaboration across health professions and patient care outcomes. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 50 health professionals from multiple disciplines, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring evidence-based collaboration (shared decision-making, use of clinical guidelines, and interprofessional communication) and patient care outcomes (care coordination, patient safety, and perceived quality of care). Descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis were applied to assess the association between collaboration and patient care outcomes. The findings indicated that respondents reported moderate to high levels of evidence-based collaboration and patient care quality. Regression analysis demonstrated a significant positive association between evidence-based collaboration and patient care outcomes (? = 0.45; p < 0.001). Higher levels of collaborative, evidence-informed practice were particularly associated with improved care coordination, enhanced patient safety, and higher perceived quality of care. Evidence-based collaboration across health professions is significantly associated with better patient care outcomes. Strengthening interprofessional collaboration supported by consistent use of clinical evidence may enhance patient-centered care, safety, and overall quality of healthcare services. These findings underscore the importance of promoting evidence-based collaborative practices within healthcare organizations

Abstract

Introduction: Pre-analytical variables are a major source of laboratory testing error, with clotting time before centrifugation representing a potentially critical factor in serum-based biochemical analysis. Although total cholesterol is considered a relatively stable analyte, minor operational variations in clotting time may affect measurement accuracy. This study aimed to determine whether differences in clotting time (30 minutes versus 60 minutes) before centrifugation affect total cholesterol results under controlled laboratory conditions. Research Methodology: A quantitative analytic study with a paired cross-sectional design was conducted in a clinical chemistry laboratory from June to August 2025. Eighteen adult participants were recruited using purposive sampling. For each participant, venous blood samples were divided into two conditions: clotting for 30 minutes and 60 minutes before centrifugation. Total serum cholesterol was measured using the enzymatic CHOD-PAP method. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a Paired Sample T-Test with α = 0.05. Results: The mean total cholesterol level after 30 minutes of clotting was 141.92 ± 18.45 mg/dL, compared to 146.33 ± 19.12 mg/dL after 60 minutes. The mean difference was 4.41 mg/dL (3.10%). Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in clotting duration between the two groups (p = 0.179). Conclusion: Extending clotting time from 30 to 60 minutes before centrifugation does not significantly affect total cholesterol measurement. These findings support analytical stability within this interval and may inform evidence-based refinement of pre-analytical laboratory procedures.

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue infection remains a major cause of hospitalization in tropical regions, particularly during the critical phase when plasma leakage, thrombocytopenia, and organ involvement increase the risk of severe complications. Hepatic dysfunction, reflected by elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), frequently accompanies hematologic deterioration. However, the phase-specific association between platelet count and liver enzyme elevation remains insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to determine the association between platelet count and AST and ALT levels among patients in the critical phase of dengue infection. Research Methodology: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at Dr. TC Hillers Regional General Hospital, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, between January and December 2025. A total of 68 patients meeting the WHO criteria for critical-phase dengue were included through consecutive sampling. Platelet count, AST, and ALT levels were extracted from medical records. Data distribution was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was applied as appropriate. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: The mean platelet count was 72.4 ± 28.7 ×10³/µL. Mean AST and ALT levels were 148.6 ± 64.2 U/L and 96.3 ± 41.8 U/L, respectively. Elevated AST was observed in 95.6% of patients, and elevated ALT in 85.3%. A significant negative correlation was found between platelet count and AST (r = −0.412, p = 0.001) and between platelet count and ALT (r = −0.356, p = 0.003). Conclusion: Platelet decline is significantly associated with hepatic enzyme elevation during the critical phase of dengue infection. Integrated monitoring of platelet counts and transaminases may enhance risk stratification and support early identification of severe systemic involvement in endemic hospital settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Digital transformation has become an important strategy for strengthening community health systems and improving the effectiveness of primary healthcare services. Digital governance and health innovation can support better coordination, data management, and accessibility of health services. However, empirical evidence examining the role of digital governance and innovation in strengthening community health systems in developing countries remains limited. This study aimed to examine the relationship between digital governance, health innovation, and community health system strengthening in primary healthcare facilities in Indonesia. Research Methodology: This study employed a cross-sectional design conducted in primary healthcare facilities in Indonesia between January and April 2025. A total of 150 healthcare professionals and administrative staff participated in the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing digital governance, health innovation, and community health system strengthening. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondent characteristics. Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to examine associations between variables. Statistical significance was determined at p < 0.05 with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Among the 150 respondents, most participants reported experience using digital health systems (81.3%). Bivariate analysis showed that digital governance was significantly associated with community health system strengthening (p = 0.003). Health innovation also demonstrated a significant association with community health system strengthening (p = 0.005). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that facilities with higher digital governance had greater odds of stronger community health system performance (AOR = 2.36; 95% CI: 1.29–4.31; p = 0.004). Similarly, higher levels of health innovation were associated with improved community health system indicators (AOR = 2.08; 95% CI: 1.14–3.77; p = 0.016). Conclusions: Digital governance and health innovation play significant roles in strengthening community health systems within primary healthcare settings. Strengthening digital governance frameworks, expanding digital health infrastructure, and enhancing digital competencies among healthcare workers may improve the effectiveness of community-based healthcare delivery. Future research should explore longitudinal approaches to better understand the long-term impact of digital transformation on health system performance.

Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a major global health problem associated with various chronic complications, particularly diabetic nephropathy. Persistent hyperglycemia can damage renal microvasculature and lead to impaired kidney function. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) is commonly used to assess glycemic control, while serum creatinine is a key indicator of renal function. Understanding the relationship between these parameters is important for early detection of kidney complications among patients with T2DM. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fasting blood glucose levels and serum creatinine levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a primary healthcare setting. Research Methodology: This study employed an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected from medical records of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at UPT Puskesmas Buki, Indonesia, in March 2026. A total of 38 patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected using purposive sampling. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured using the enzymatic GOD-PAP method, while serum creatinine levels were determined using the Jaffe reaction method. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: The mean fasting blood glucose level was 176.4 ± 42.5 mg/dL, while the mean serum creatinine level was 1.18 ± 0.36 mg/dL. Statistical analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation between fasting blood glucose and serum creatinine levels (r = 0.421; p = 0.009). This indicates that higher fasting blood glucose levels tend to be associated with increased serum creatinine levels. Conclusions: Fasting blood glucose levels are significantly associated with serum creatinine levels among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Regular monitoring of glycemic status and renal function in primary healthcare settings is essential for early detection and prevention of diabetic kidney complications.
