Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Bacteria are microorganisms that have a single cell, prokaryotes. Normal skin is usually occupied by bacteria around 102-106 CFU/ml. Purpose(s): This study aims to determine the characteristics of the bacteria from hand swabs in ward patients at the Kendari City Regional General Hospital in 2023. Methods: This research is an observational descriptive study. The research sample was taken from the patients in patient room. The samples obtained were then cultured at the Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Halu Oleo University. Analyzed descriptively and displayed in tabular form. Results: The results showed that there was growth of bacterial colonies. The bacteria found in the samples from the patient's hand swabs were Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Enterobacter sp. Conclusion: There was growth of bacterial colonies obtained from the results of hand swabs of ward care patients at the Kendari City Regional General Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Cataracts and glaucoma are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide and frequently coexist in elderly populations. Cataract-induced structural changes in the anterior segment may impair aqueous humor outflow, resulting in elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and accelerated optic nerve damage in patients with glaucoma. Purpose(s): This study aimed to analyze differences in IOP before and after cataract surgery among patients with glaucoma complications at Kendari Eye Clinic. Methods: An observational analytic study with a pre–post cross-sectional design was conducted using medical record data from January to June 2024. A total of 100 patients with senile cataracts complicated by glaucoma who underwent phacoemulsification were included using purposive sampling. IOP measurements were obtained using a non-contact tonometer before surgery and at 3 days, 5 days, 12 days, and 1 month postoperatively. Data were analyzed using the Friedman test. Results: The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference in IOP before and after surgery (p < 0.001). Mean IOP increased transiently at 3 days postoperatively but decreased significantly at subsequent follow-up intervals. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification cataract surgery significantly reduces IOP in patients with glaucoma complications, emphasizing its role not only in visual rehabilitation but also in IOP control and glaucoma management.

Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit that commonly affects adolescents and young adults. The causes of acne vulgaris are multifactorial, involving various internal and external factors, among which sleep quality and bedtime are significant contributors. Poor sleep quality and late bedtime may lead to a decrease in melatonin levels. Reduced melatonin levels can result in increased androgen hormone synthesis, which in turn stimulates sebaceous gland activity and contributes to the development of acne vulgaris. Purpose(s): This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep quality and bedtime with the incidence of acne vulgaris among 11th-grade students at SMAN 4 Kendari. Methods: This study is an observational analytic research with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling method used was simple random sampling, involving a total of 90 students. Data on sleep quality and bedtime were collected through questionnaires, while the incidence of acne vulgaris was assessed through facial screening. Data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. Results: Based on the results of the chi-square test using statistical software, a p-value of 0.01 was obtained. A p-value <0.05 indicates that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Conclusion: There is a relationship between sleep quality and bedtime with the incidence of acne vulgaris among 11th-grade students at SMAN 4 Kendari (p-value = 0.01).

Abstract

Background: An informed consent form is essential to ensure that a patient comprehends all the provided information before making a decision and giving consent. It is crucial for patients to understand the proposed medical actions thoroughly. Completing informed consent forms is vital as they serve as legal documentation to protect patients from any medical procedures and ensure healthcare protection in case of unforeseen harmful events. Purpose(s): This research aims to assess the completeness of informed consent forms in the medical records of surgical patients at Hospital X Kendari in 2024. Methods: This research is an observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. It was conducted at Hospital X Kendari, utilizing 92 samples of informed consent forms for surgical procedures in 2023. Data collection was carried out using checklist sheets. Results: The results showed that the completion of informed consent forms was 90% complete for the identity identification component, 85% for the important report component, 99% for the declaration of consent to action component, and 97% for the authentication component. Conclusion: The analysis of the overall completeness of informed consent foms for surgical patients in 2023 showed a completion rate of 93%.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: High-risk pregnancy conditions, such as chronic energy deficiency (CED) and anemia, are significant public health concerns impacting both maternal and fetal outcomes. Purpose(s): This research aims to conduct a more in-depth study on the case of chronic energy deficiency (CED) and anemia in patient Ms. N at Sembungharjo Village, Bangetayu Health Center, Semarang. Methods: This case study examines a 30-year-old woman (Mrs. N) with a 28-week pregnancy complicated by CED (upper arm circumference 22.5 cm) and anemia (hemoglobin 10.1 g/dL) at Bangetayu Community Health Center, Semarang. A holistic diagnostic approach involving medical history, nutritional status, and family and environmental factors was carried out. Interventions included iron and folic acid supplementation, fortified food provision, and intensive health education—targeting both the patient and her family. Results: Results showed the patient’s knowledge and dietary practices were key contributors to persistent nutritional deficiencies. Functional family support and multidisciplinary collaboration between the health centre team, community cadres, and family members were emphasized for effective management. The study underlines the necessity of early nutritional and preventive interventions during pregnancy to mitigate risks of stunting and adverse neonatal outcomes. Conslusion: Comprehensive, community-oriented, and family-centered care is vital for improving health in high-risk pregnancies at the primary care level.
