Abstract

The number of older adults in Indonesia continues to increase each year due to rising life expectancy alongside improvements in the quality of health services. The types of diseases commonly experienced by older adults are chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart disease, all of which require continuous and routine treatment. Medication adherence among the elderly remains a serious concern. This study, conducted within the Prolanis program at Bululawang Community Health Center, aimed to determine and analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of older adults and their adherence to taking prescribed medications. The study population consisted of all older adults enrolled in the Prolanis program at Bululawang Community Health Center, totaling 197 individuals. A purposive sampling technique was used to obtain a sample of 74 respondents. Knowledge was measured using a questionnaire developed by Herawati & Setiawan consisting of ten closed-ended questions. The validity of the knowledge questionnaire was tested using item-total correlation, and all items were declared valid. The reliability test showed good internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient greater than 0.70. Meanwhile, medication adherence was assessed using the short version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-4). The MMAS-4 has been widely validated in various populations and demonstrated acceptable reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha value indicating satisfactory internal consistency.. A bivariate analysis was conducted using the non-parametric Spearman’s rho test. The findings indicated a p-value > 0.05 (0.132), suggesting no significant relationship between knowledge and medication adherence. Health workers should therefore not only focus on improving the knowledge of older adults but also consider other factors such as motivation, family support, psychological conditions, and perceptions of treatment. Increasing family involvement in reminding medication schedules or assisting with medication preparation is strongly recommended.

Abstract

On the front lines of primary health care in Indonesia, especially in rural areas and geographical conditions that pose challenges (North Konawe). Growing public expectations require the ongoing monitoring of service quality to provide assurance that patients are satisfied with their care. This study aims to evaluate service quality and determine priority improvement strategies in inpatient health centers using an integrated SERVQUAL and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach. This study used a quantitative descriptive-analytical design conducted at the Hialu Inpatient Health Center, North Konawe Regency. The data was collected using a SERVQUAL-based structured questionnaire that assessed the patients' expectations and perceptions about five service quality dimensions: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The questionnaire included 24 statements items value evaluated by the five-step Likert scale. The research participants were outpatients and inpatients, patients or their guardians who received services based on purposive sampling techniques. There were 97 respondents in the sample. The SERVQUAL method was used to analyze the data, which calculated the difference between patients' perception and expectations. Subsequently, the attributes with negative gap values were considered as voice of customer that was to be arranged in a QFD analysis, whereby HOQ would exhibit the priorities for improvement of service quality. Eight service indicators possessed negative gap values in the dimensions of tangibles, reliability, responsiveness and assurance. There was no negative gap to the empathy dimension, suggesting that we met patient expectations around empathy. Based on a QFD analysis, the facility's structure enhancements, staff responsiveness improvement and service procedures optimization were found the key technical priorities. SERVQUAL and QFD together provide an effective tool in identifying service quality gaps as well as prioritizing improvements at the Inpatient Community Health Center. These technical priorities are expected to enhance services provision and patients satisfaction.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhoea is a common menstrual problem among adolescent girls and may interfere with daily activities and academic performance. Non-pharmacological interventions such as hot dark chocolate and herbal beverages are considered safer alternatives to manage menstrual pain. This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of hot dark chocolate and Jesoma (ginger, soya, and honey) in reducing dysmenorrhoea pain intensity among female students at SMAN 3 Pontianak. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using two groups with pretest–posttest measurements. The sample consisted of female students who experienced dysmenorrhoea and were divided into a hot dark chocolate group and a Jesoma group. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total sample of 90 respondents, divided into 45 respondents in each group, based on calculations using G*Power with an additional 10% to anticipate dropout. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst possible pain. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon test and Mann–Whitney test. The results showed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhoea pain intensity in both intervention groups (p < 0.05). The hot dark chocolate group demonstrated a moderate effect size (0.60), while the Jesoma group showed a large effect size (0.72). Comparative analysis indicated that Jesoma was more effective than hot dark chocolate in reducing dysmenorrhoea pain (p = 0.038). Both hot dark chocolate and Jesoma are effective non-pharmacological interventions for reducing dysmenorrhoea pain among adolescent girls; however, Jesoma demonstrates greater effectiveness.

Abstract

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with a transfemoral approach is an invasive procedure commonly used in the management of coronary artery disease. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of esaline cold compress application in reducing hematoma size at the femoral access site in patients undergoing PCI. This study employed a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design with a consecutive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 80 respondents who underwent transfemoral PCI, including 40 respondents in the intervention group and 40 respondents in the control group. Participants were recruited consecutively based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly allocated into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received esaline cold compresses applied to the femoral access area after sheath removal, while the control group received standard care. Data were collected through observation of hematoma size, pain scale, and patient comfort for 24 hours post-procedure. Data analysis was conducted using the Mann–Whitney U test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the characteristics of respondents in both groups were relatively homogeneous. There was a statistically significant difference in hematoma size between the intervention group and the control group (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Specifically, the group receiving esaline cold compresses demonstrated a mean rank of 30.41 with a total rank of 1216.50. The application of esaline cold compresses was proven to be statistically and clinically effective in preventing and minimizing the extent of hematoma following femoral access PCI.

Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee ligament injuries, often affecting athletes and active individuals. Morphological variations of the tibial eminence may influence ACL vulnerability. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between tibial eminence morphology and ACL rupture in an Indonesian patient population. A cross-sectional study was conducted at RSUP Haji Adam Malik, Medan, Indonesia, between 2021 and 2023. Forty-five patients who underwent knee radiographs were enrolled, comprising 25 with ACL rupture and 20 without. Tibial eminence measurements—including medial height, lateral height, and width—were obtained from anteroposterior weight-bearing radiographs. Data were analyzed using Eta correlation, with p<0.05 indicating statistical significance. The ruptured ACL group showed significantly smaller medial height (9.20±1.57 mm), lateral height (8.98±1.55 mm), and width (9.92±2.76 mm) compared to controls (10.42±1.09 mm, 10.16±1.04 mm, and 13.70±2.19 mm, respectively). Eta correlation revealed moderate associations for medial (η=0.411) and lateral heights (η=0.406), and a strong association for width (η=0.607) with ACL rupture. Reduced tibial eminence dimensions, particularly width, are strongly associated with ACL rupture. Radiographic assessment of tibial eminence morphology may assist in risk stratification, especially among high-risk populations.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of an infant’s life is an important strategy to improve maternal and child health. However, its success rates still vary between urban and rural areas. Husband involvement, as a form of family support, is one of the factors influencing the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to map the scientific evidence regarding the role of husbands’ involvement in improving exclusive breastfeeding success in urban and rural settings through a scoping review approach. A literature search was conducted exclusively in the Scopus database for articles published between 2020 and 2025, following the PRISMA-ScR guideline. The search used predefined keywords including “father support,” “husband involvement,” “exclusive breastfeeding,” “urban,” and “rural,” combined with Boolean operators. A total of 108 articles were identified, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. The review findings revealed four main themes: (1) socio-cultural influences and family roles, (2) husbands’ practical and emotional involvement, (3) family knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to breastfeeding practices, and (4) education, counseling, and community support. Husbands’ support contributed to improved maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, psychological stability, and sustainability of breastfeeding practices. Husband involvement plays an important role in supporting exclusive breastfeeding success. Higher husband involvement increases the likelihood of successful exclusive breastfeeding. Therefore, a family-based approach and a more inclusive healthcare system are needed to actively involve husbands in strategies to improve exclusive breastfeeding outcomes.

Abstract

Healthcare service quality is a critical determinant of patient satisfaction, particularly in primary healthcare settings such as Puuwatu Primary Healthcare Center, which continues to receive complaints regarding service timeliness, staff courtesy, and physical facilities. Objective: This study aimed to assess service quality at Puuwatu Primary Healthcare Center and to identify service dimensions requiring improvement using the SERVQUAL and Zone of Tolerance (ZoT) models. Method: This descriptive quantitative study involved 100 outpatients selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire comprising 29 SERVQUAL indicators and were analyzed using gap (GAP) scores, Mean Service Adequacy (MSA), Mean Service Superiority (MSS), and ZoT analysis. Result: The findings revealed negative GAP scores across all service dimensions, indicating that the services provided did not meet patient expectations. ZoT analysis demonstrated that only the assurance dimension achieved a positive score, while responsiveness, empathy, and reliability remained within the tolerance zone but below expected standards. The tangible dimension exhibited the highest level of dissatisfaction. Conclusion: Service quality improvement efforts should prioritize upgrading physical facilities and strengthening service consistency and responsiveness to enhance overall patient satisfaction.
