Alpices — 2025-11-30

This study aims to determine the effect of personal hypertension management program education on self-efficacy in hypertension management. This research is a quasy experiment design with a non-equivalent control group design. The number of samples in this study was 30 respondents who were divided into two groups, namely 15 intervention group respondents and 15 control group respondents. Sample grouping in this study was carried out randomly for the experimental group and the control groupThe intervention group is respondents who are given personal hypertension management program education and the control group is respondents who are not given personal hypertension management program education. The data analysis used was the T-test (Independent Sample T-Test). Personal education was conducted for 3 weeks by providing hypertension management program personal education one session per week, for 15-20 minutes. The study found that most respondents (60%) had poor self-efficacy in the intervention group respondents before being given personal education based on a hypertension management program and most respondents (93.3%) had efficacy after being given personal education based on a hypertension management program. From the bivariate analysis results, there is a mean change in self-efficacy in intervention group respondents with the control group, where the mean difference value is 3.067. The T-test value is 2.579 with a p-value = 0.015 where the p-value ≤ 0.05, which means that there is an effect of personal education based on HMP on self-efficacy in respondents after being given personal education interventions based on a hypertension management program. The provision of personal education interventions based on a hypertension management program shows the results of the average change in the self-efficacy of respondents in the intervention group before and after being given personal education based on a hypertension management program and there is no average change in the self-efficacy of respondents in the control group who are not given personal education based on a hypertension management program

PERSPECTIVE OF HEALTH WORKERS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IN BUKITTINGGI CITY

Anisa Utami — 2025-11-30

Community health centers are the primary healthcare facilities in Indonesia, but many of the services provided are still of poor quality. Service quality can be described by patient waiting times and unintegrated patient data. This is due to inadequate infrastructure to support services. Therefore, the government has issued a policy for community health centers to use a community health center management information system. The purpose of this study is to determine the perspectives of health workers in implementing a community health center management information system. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a centralized interview approach. The participants of this study were 14 health workers taken by purposive sampling. The location of this study was three community health centers in Bukittinggi City, namely the Nilam Sari Community Health Center, the Guguk Panjang Community Health Center, and the Tigo Baleh Community Health Center. This research instrument used an interview sheet and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with data analysis techniques through the use of thematic content analysis. The results of this study are described in two themes: the first theme of the information system facilitating work and improving the quality of services in community health centers and the second theme of obstacles to using the community health center information system consisting of infrastructure constraints such as network and application errors. Thus, it was concluded that the implementation of the community health center information system supported services at the community health center, but there were several obstacles during use, such as network and application errors. Therefore, the researchers hope that this research will be continued with the design of an adequate community health center management information system application by integrating other applications.

Hayyuni Khalida — 2025-12-03

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that requires long-term care, which puts caregivers at risk of emotional burdens that can decrease their level of resilience. Families, as caregivers, play an important role in patient care and need to possess strong emotional endurance. Emotion Regulation Therapy is an intervention aimed at improving individuals’ ability to manage emotions adaptively to enhance resilience. This study aims to determine the effect of emotion regulation therapy on increasing the resilience of caregivers who care for patients with schizophrenia in Aceh. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post-test approach. The sample consisted of 33 caregivers selected through purposive sampling and was given emotion regulation therapy over seven sessions. The instruments used in this study were a demographic data sheet to obtain respondent characteristics and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) questionnaire to measure resilience levels. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test results showed a significant effect of emotion regulation therapy on increasing caregiver resilience, with a Z value = -5.205 and p < 0.001. The results indicated that before the intervention, the majority of respondents (51.5%) were in the low resilience category. After the intervention, there was a significant increase, with 84.8% of respondents categorized as having high resilience. Additionally, the average resilience score increased from 49.00 to 73.15. Based on these findings, emotion regulation therapy has been shown to be effective in increasing the resilience of caregivers caring for patients with schizophrenia. These results indicate that this intervention can be used as a relevant strategy to help caregivers deal with long-term emotional stress.

FOOD WASTE REDUCTION STRATEGIES IN HOSPITALS

Afrizal — 2025-11-30

Food waste in hospitals is a serious problem that impacts healthcare efficiency, environmental sustainability, and patient well-being. Food waste in hospitals mainly comes from plate waste, which is caused by factors such as food quality, patient diet, and suboptimal food distribution systems. This study aims to assess effective strategies in reducing food waste in hospitals through a systematic review of 12 relevant studies. The method used a systematic literature review with the PRISMA approach, identifying key themes that included determinants of food waste, intervention strategies, and implementation challenges. The results showed that a Life Cycle Assessment-based approach, improved menu design, staff education, and implementation of waste monitoring system were effective in reducing food waste. However, the main challenge lies in the low institutional awareness and lack of binding regulations. Therefore, supportive policies and cross-sector collaboration are needed to create more efficient and sustainable food waste management system in hospitals.
