<![CDATA[Community satisfaction is an important indicator of primary care quality and serves as strategic input for continuous improvement at Community Health Centers (Puskesmas). This study aims to describe community satisfaction with services at the MM Community Health Center and the factors influencing it, based on qualitative findings from in-depth interviews. This study used a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews with 20 informants (patients/families) selected purposively. Data analysis used a Reflexive Thematic Analysis approach. Data validity was maintained through source triangulation, audit trails, and member checking. Five main themes influenced satisfaction: access and waiting time, communication and empathy from health workers, availability of drugs and facilities, ease of administration, and cleanliness of the facility. Informant quotes showed a variety of experiences, from very satisfied to needing improvements in the queuing system and drug availability. Improvements in service flow, strengthening communication, and monitoring of the IKM based on real-time feedback are recommended. The services at the MM Community Health Center were considered quite satisfactory, but improvements in access and drug availability are still needed]]>

<![CDATA[Elderly people who have high blood pressure will experience an increase of more than half of the population aged 60 years with systolic pressure of 140 mmHg and diastolic 90 mmHg. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world, occurring at the age of 65 years and over with the most deaths in developing countries. The purpose of the study was to determine the description of hypertension diet compliance in the elderly at the Lakessi Health Center, Parepare City. The research method used in this study is quantitative descriptive with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire sheet. The subjects of the study were all elderly hypertensive patients as many as 53 elderly at the Lakessi Health Center, Parepare City in 2024 and families who accompanied the patients. The study results involved 53 elderly people, all of whom were compliant with the hypertension diet (100%). This means that 100% of respondents were compliant with the hypertension diet. The conclusion is that all respondents (53) were compliant in undergoing a hypertension diet because the level of awareness of the elderly is higher. Suggestions for further researchers to develop research with a more varied approach, such as a descriptive analytical design, in order to determine the relationship between variables such as education level, family support, or knowledge of the elderly with dietary compliance]]>

<![CDATA[Acute diarrhea in children is a significant health problem in developing countries that contributes significantly to child morbidity and mortality. A complementary approach, massage therapy, has the potential to support the patient's recovery optimally. This study aims to explain the application of massage therapy in nursing interventions for children with acute diarrhea and evaluate its impact on the frequency of defecation and intestinal peristalsis. The research employed a case study design on a hospitalized 11-month-old child diagnosed with acute diarrhea. Interventions included diarrhea management, nutrition management, and abdominal massage therapy twice a day for three days. The results showed a decrease in the frequency of defecation from five times to once per day, a stabilized frequency of intestinal peristalsis at five times per minute, and an improvement in general condition. The mechanism of action of massage involves an increase in vagal activity, modification of the intestinal microbiota, and a reduction in stress hormones, all of which have a positive impact on gastrointestinal function. Massage therapy has been proven to be safe, effective, and easily integrated into pediatric nursing. Massage therapy can be utilized as an evidence-based complementary intervention for managing acute diarrhea in children with defecation frequency decreased from 5 per day to one per day and peristalsis stabilized at 5 per minute. Massage therapy has potential positive implications for enhancing the quality of nursing care in the pediatrics area.]]>

<![CDATA[High workloads for nurses have the potential to increase work stress, which can lead to decreased performance and quality of nursing services. Physical and mental demands, large numbers of patients, and shift work systems are factors that trigger psychological stress. This study aims to determine the relationship between workload and work stress among nurses at Jaury Jusuf Putera Academic Hospital in Makassar. This study used a descriptive correlational quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 42 nurses in the inpatient ward was taken using total sampling technique. Data were collected through a workload questionnaire and a work stress questionnaire, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that most nurses experienced moderate to heavy workloads and moderate levels of work stress. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between workload and work stress (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the higher the workload of nurses, the higher the level of work stress they experienced. This study suggests that hospital management needs to implement proportional task distribution, evaluate the shift system, and provide psychological support and stress management programs. Effective workload management can improve nurses' well-being and the quality of nursing services]]>

<![CDATA[Hospitalization is an experience that can cause anxiety in children due to unfamiliar surroundings, medical procedures, and separation from family. Unresolved anxiety can affect the healing process, prolong hospitalization, and cause psychological trauma. Family support plays an important role in helping children adapt during hospital treatment. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and children's anxiety levels during hospitalization in the pediatric ward of Hermina Hospital in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. This study uses a quantitative design with a correlational descriptive method and a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 44 respondents was selected using purposive sampling according to inclusion criteria. Data were collected through family support questionnaires and child anxiety level questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed using correlation tests to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that most respondents received good family support and had mild to moderate anxiety levels. Statistical tests showed a significant relationship between family support and children's anxiety levels during hospitalization (p < 0.05). The better the family support provided, the lower the children's anxiety levels. It was concluded that family support plays an important role in reducing children's anxiety levels during hospitalization. Optimize the family-centered care approach by actively involving families in nursing care. Hospitals are advised to develop policies that support family presence and involvement during the child's treatment. The implications is family-based interventions need to be integrated into pediatric nursing practice to reduce anxiety and improve the quality of care.]]>
