Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health issue worldwide, affecting all age groups, despite being a preventable and curable disease. This study investigated the relationship between medication supervisors (RMS) and family support in medication adherence in pulmonary TB patients. This study is an observational type using a case-control design. The research was conducted in the working area of the Johan Pahlawan Community Health Center, West Aceh Regency, Aceh Province, in 2022. A total of 34 participants were recruited using the purposive sampling technique, with 17 participants in each group, i.e., the case group (non-adherent) and the control group (adherent). To minimise bias, matching was performed based on the participants' sex between the case and control groups. The chi-square test was used to test the hypothesis or to answer the research question, and the analysis was performed using computer software. The results showed that the p-value for the RMS and family support with medication adherence was <0.05, indicating a significant relationship. Thus, it can be concluded that RMS and family support significantly influence medication adherence among pulmonary TB patients.
Patient satisfaction is one of the first indicators of hospital’s standards, and a measure of service quality. The quality of health services is health services that can lead to patient satisfaction in every patient, where the procedures for implementation are in accordance with established standards and codes of ethics. The purpose of this research problem is to determine the relationship between physical and policy aspects with patient satisfaction at the Cut Nyak Dien Hospital in West Aceh.This research uses descriptive quantitative with cross sectional design. The population in this study were 855 patients or their guardians, the sampling technique used the type of accidental sampling using the Slovin formula to produce 90 respondents who had been hospitalized for 1x24 hours in June- August 2021. To analyze the data, the researcher used univariate and bivariate tests using Chi-square test, obtained p-value: 0,855 (p-value > α = 0,05) for the physical aspect and p-value = 0,049 (p-value < α = 0,05) for the policy. So, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between physical aspect with patient satisfaction, there is a significant relationship between policy and patient satisfaction, follow-up by providing intervention to socialize the implementation of health services according to standard operating procedures
Indonesia is the second highest contributor to stunting in Southeast Asia, so prevention is necessary to reduce the prevalence of stunting to the maximum. One of the efforts that can be made is to establish synergy between the government and the community and strengthen capacity building for village officials. This study aims to see the ability of village officials to prevent stunting in the Nagan Raya District. This descriptive-analytic research method with a cross-sectional design was conducted in April 2021. The population consists of 220 villages in Nagan Raya District. The sampling technique used the cluster sampling technique so that 12 villages were obtained with 96 respondents. They are collecting data using a questionnaire instrument. The test in this study used logistic regression for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between increasing the capability of village officials and the variable level of education (p= 0,040; OR= 2,77), knowledge (p= 0,001; OR= 7,22) implementers (p= 0,002; OR= 8,54) and manager (p= 0,001; OR= 11,05). The conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between the variables of education, knowledge, implementers, and managers. There is no significant relationship between the variables of age, income, and training with the ability of village officials to prevent stunting.
