Studi Perbandingan ABK-Kes dan Persepsi Koder Rawat Inap Pasien BPJS tentang Beban Kerja Di RS X

2025-11-12T11:23:05+07:00

Inpatient coders play an essential role in ensuring the quality of coding and the smooth processing of BPJS claims in hospitals. The number of available staff must be proportional to the workload to maintain accuracy and timeliness in coding results. This study
employed a case study design with a mixed-methods approach using the Concurrent Triangulation model, where quantitative and
qualitative data were collected simultaneously and then compared. Quantitative data were obtained by calculating the staffing needs
of inpatient coders using the Health Workload Analysis (ABK-Kes) method through observation, document review, standard time, and
effective working time. Meanwhile, qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with three inpatient BPJS coders to explore their perceptions of workload. The ABK-Kes analysis indicated a need for six coders, while only three were available. However, the coders perceived the workload as manageable due to work culture, adaptation strategies, and peer support. The study concludes that there is a discrepancy between ABK-Kes results and coder perceptions, and it recommends staff reinforcement, optimization of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), and strengthened managerial support for BPJS regulations.

Etnomedisin Tanaman Antihipertensi Suku Bugis Wajo: An Exploratory Study Of Cultural Practices

2025-07-11T15:00:11+07:00

This study aims to explore the use of antihypertensive plants in the ethnomedicine practices of the Bugis Wajo community in Wajo Regency, South Sulawesi. Hypertension is a growing global health problem that requires comprehensive management approaches,
including the use of traditional medicinal plants that have long been embedded in local culture. This research employed a qualitative
approach with an exploratory design to gain an in-depth understanding of locally rooted health practices. Sixteen female informants with hypertension were selected through purposive sampling because they were considered to have direct experience in using medicinal plants. In-depth interviews were conducted to explore their perceptions, knowledge, and experiences regarding the use of plants as an alternative therapy. Data were analyzed using the Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) method to measure how frequently each plant was mentioned and its level of popularity. The findings revealed that the Bugis Wajo community commonly uses 10 types of plants as antihypertensive remedies, with the five most frequently used being cucumber, bay leaves, celery, garlic, and bilimbi. These plants are typically prepared by boiling and consuming the decoction regularly according to individual needs. The results highlight that ethnomedicine remains an important option in managing hypertension within the community. Therefore, revitalizing local wisdom and integrating traditional medicinal plants into the development of complementary therapies should be strengthened to support more holistic and sustainable hypertension control efforts.

Evaluasi Model Layanan Kesehatan Berbasis Komunitas Dan Teknologi Sederhana Di Daerah Pesisir Konawe Selatan

2025-11-12T10:54:12+07:00

Indonesian coastal regions still experience significant gaps in accessing basic healthcare, particularly in remote villages. This
study assesses the effectiveness of a community-based healthcare model using simple technology in two coastal villages—Bungin
Permai and Torokeku—in Konawe Selatan, Southeast Sulawesi. A mixed-methods approach was adopted with an exploratory and
comparative design. Quantitative data were gathered from 50 purposively selected respondents, while qualitative insights were obtained from 10 key informants through interviews and FGDs. Bungin Permai encounters severe access issues due to dependency on sea transport and limited fuel, while Torokeku, though reachable by land, lacks adequate health infrastructure. Cultural factors, including the role of local leaders and belief in shamans, influence how residents seek care. WhatsApp has been informally used for consultations but lacks structured protocols. The proposed integrated model includes tele-triage SOPs, active roles for community health cadres, health promotion efforts, and enhanced referral mechanisms. Preliminary findings suggest improved access and readiness for implementation, provided that local policies and digital literacy among healthcare workers are strengthened. The study concludes that a simple, community-centered healthcare model is both practical and replicable for improving healthcare delivery in isolated coastal areas.

Eksplorasi Etnofarmasi dan Potensi Fitoterapi: Studi Pemanfaatan Tanaman Obat Tradisional Masyarakat Adat Akur Sunda Wiwitan Kabupaten Garut

2025-11-12T11:19:27+07:00

This research aims to explore the types of medicinal plants used by the Akur Sunda Wiwitan indigenous community in Kampung Pasir,
Samarang District, Garut Regency, and to uncover the potential for phytotherapy contained within them. The qualitative approach
method was conducted through direct observation and in-depth interviews with traditional leaders who possess traditional
knowledge about medicinal plants. The results of the study show that there are seven types of plants that are most frequently used,
namely binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia), babadotan leaves (Ageratum conyzoides), ki urat leaves (Plantago major), temulawak rhizome (Curcuma zanthorrhiza), salam leaves (Syzygium polyanthum), jackfruit leaves (Artocarpus heterophyllus), and guava shoot leaves (Psidium guajava). These plants are used to treat stomach ulcers, hypertension, and diarrhea. Based on a literature review, all of these plants contain bioactive compounds such as phenols, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which have been proven to have pharmacological activity consistent with their traditional uses. The results of this study strengthen the conclusion that ethno pharmaceutical practices in the Akur Sunda Wiwitan indigenous community have a strong scientific basis and have the potential to be developed into phytotherapy products based on local wisdom

Analisis Sistem Pelaporan Monitoring Efek Samping Obat (Meso) Oleh Tenaga Farmasi Di Puskesmas Kota Kendari

2025-11-10T13:48:00+07:00

The extensive use of medicines in healthcare services carries the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that are not always detected during pre-marketing clinical trials. Therefore, a Monitoring of Adverse Drug Reactions (MESO) reporting system is required in healthcare facilities. This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and facilities on the implementation of MESO reporting by pharmacy personnel at primary health centers (Puskesmas) in Kendari City. The study employed an analytic quantitative cross-sectional design involving 68 pharmacy staff respondents and utilized bivariate chi-square and logistic regression analyses. The results showed that knowledge was not significantly associated with MESO reporting implementation (p=0.147), whereas attitude (p=0.027) and reporting barriers (p=0.004) demonstrated significant associations. Reporting facilities did not have a significant effect (p=0.188). Barriers such as workload and a complicated reporting system emerged as the main issues. In conclusion, optimizing MESO reporting requires strengthening positive attitudes, eliminating key barriers, and developing an integrated system to support sustainable reporting and improve the quality of healthcare services in primary health centers.

Hubungan Konsumsi Makanan Jajanan (Kariogenik) Dengan Kejadian Karies Gigi Pada Anak Prasekolah Di TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal

2025-11-12T11:11:01+07:00

Dental caries is common in children because they tend to prefer sweet foods and drinks that can cause tooth decay. In general, children's oral hygiene is worse because they consume more caries-causing foods and drinks than adults. Cariogenic foods are foods that can cause tooth decay. Cariogenic foods are high in carbohydrates, sticky, and easily disintegrate in the mouth. The relationship between carbohydrate consumption and tooth decay is related to plaque formation on the tooth surface. Plaque forms from food debris stuck between teeth. This plaque eventually becomes the site of bacterial growth that converts glucose into acid, lowering the oral pH to 4.5. Under these conditions, the structure of tooth enamel dissolves. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design with a total sample of m71 respondents. Exhaustive sampling was used, and questionnaires and observation sheets were used as instruments. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis. The results of the study showed that of the 71 respondents studied, 43 children (60.6%) suffered from caries and 54 children (76.1%) consumed street food (cariogenic) with a Chi-Square analysis of P value = 0.001 <α value = 0.05 so that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that there is a relationship between street food consumption (cariogenic) in preschool children at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten).
