This study is a literature review that analyzes five scientific articles published between 2021 and 2024. Articles were selected through targeted searches in Google Scholar and PubMed, then synthesized narratively to describe trends and financing implications. The synthesis results show a significant increase in the number of hemodialysis patients each year, with therapy costs reaching trillions of rupiah. Payment rates set in the INA-CBGs system are often not in accordance with real costs in hospitals, risking a deficit in health facilities and BPJS Kesehatan. The increasing trend of hemodialysis patients places a large economic burden on the national health system. Cost control strategies are needed through primary prevention, early detection of CKD, adjustment of INA-CBGs rates, and development of alternative therapies to maintain service sustainability.</p> 2025-07-07T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Kesmas Prima Indonesia https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/JKPI/article/view/7064 Relationship of Knowledge to SBAR Communication Attitude During Patient Handover in Recovery Room in Anesthesiology Nursing Students of Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta 2025-06-09T02:39:12+00:00 Zahara Febria Azva zaharafebriaazva24@gmail.com Joko Murdiyanto zaharafebriaazva24@gmail.com Istiqomah Rosidah zaharafebriaazva24@gmail.com <p>Communication failure can lead to malpractice, misunderstanding, delayed diagnosis, service, additional costs, incomplete information, patient and family dissatisfaction and can even cause death, so effective communication with the SBAR method is needed during patient handover in the recovery room.

This is due to various factors, including access, service quality, and public understanding. This study aims to identify the relationship between factors that influence the utilization of health services in the area. The method used is a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 97 respondents selected by simple random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between the use of JKN services and education level (p = 0.015), availability of facilities and infrastructure (p = 0.009), accessibility (p = 0.002), and complaints of illness (p = 0.011). In contrast, no significant correlation was found between employment status (p = 0.805) and salary (p = 0.622) with service utilization. The conclusion of this study is that increasing the utilization of the JKN program requires a holistic approach, which includes improving access to health facilities, improving service quality, and educating the public about the benefits of the JKN program.</p> 2025-07-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Kesmas Prima Indonesia https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/JKPI/article/view/7221 The Relationship Between Family Support And Anxiety Levels In Children Aged 5–18 Years With Chronic Kidney Disease At Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan 2025-07-07T07:35:27+00:00 Rani Kawati Damanik rani140387@gmail.com Rosetty Rita Sipayung rosetty@gmail.com Sri Dearmaita Purba sridearmaita@gmail.com Rika Rejeki rikarejeki@gmail.com <p>Anxiety is a problem characterized by refusing to be given nursing care, sleep disturbances, restlessness, worry, fear, crying easily, decreased appetite.

One of the main causes of work accidents is failure to use personal protective equipment (PPE). This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of video and leaflet-based counseling methods in improving knowledge, attitudes, and actions related to the use of PPE among welding workshop workers. A quasi-experimental study with a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design was conducted in Tanjung Gusta Village, Medan, involving 36 welding workshop workers who were divided into intervention (video) and control (leaflet) groups. The results showed that both extension methods significantly improved workers' knowledge, attitude, and action scores (p&lt;0.05). However, video counseling showed a greater advantage, with a higher mean score increase and a significantly higher N-Gain value (61.8) compared to leaflet (43.3) (p&lt;0.001). Mann-Whitney analysis confirmed that the intervention group using the video showed a significant increase in mean knowledge, attitude and action scores compared to the control group. This study concludes that video education is more effective than leaflets in improving PPE use among welding workshop workers. Integration of video-based education into occupational health programs is recommended to improve worker safety behavior.</p> 2025-07-10T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Kesmas Prima Indonesia https://jurnal.unprimdn.ac.id/index.php/JKPI/article/view/6579 Analysis Of Satisfaction And Performance Levels At Community Health Center X, Jayapura City 2025-02-18T23:24:49+00:00 Novita Medyati novitauncen@gmail.com Enos Karapa enoskarapa455@gmail.com <p>The implementation of accreditation in a community health center can have a positive impact with the existence of legal security related to the quality of services provided by the community health center.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dehydration and identify associated risk factors among construction workers. A cross-section study was conducted involving 32 construction workers in a construction project for the construction of a wheat flour and soybean mill owned by PT. Agri First which operates at KIM 2 Medan. Data were collected using questionnaires, fingertip pulse oximeters, urine refractometers, and observation sheets. Dehydration is categorized based on the level of urine specific gravity (ultrasound). The data was statistically tested using the Fisher Exact test (α=0.05). The majority of workers (75%) were dehydrated. There was no significant relationship between dehydration and age. However, workers with more than 3 years of experience were more likely to be dehydrated compared to workers with less than 3 years of experience (OR = 8,333, 95% CI: 1,392-49,872). Workers with moderate workloads were also more likely to be dehydrated compared to workers with light workloads (OR = 18,333). There was a significant association between water intake and dehydration (p = 0.000). All workers who did not drink enough water were dehydrated, while only 66.7% of those who drank enough water were dehydrated. Workers with more than 3 years of experience, moderate workload, and inadequate water intake have a higher risk of becoming dehydrated.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of health counseling delivered through video and leaflet media on adolescents’ readiness to face menarche. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was employed. The study population consisted of students in grades 4 to 6 at SDN 101816, totaling 136 individuals. From this population, 60 respondents were selected and divided equally into two groups: one group (n = 30) received counseling via video media, while the other group (n = 30) received counseling through leaflets. Results indicated that adolescents' readiness to face menarche increased following health counseling with video media, with mean scores rising from 26.47 pre-intervention to 31.20 post-intervention, representing an improvement of 4.73 points. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant effect of video-based counseling on readiness (p &lt; 0.001). Similarly, counseling using leaflet media resulted in an increase in readiness, with mean scores improving from 24.73 before intervention to 27.10 after, an increase of 2.34 points, also statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, comparison between the two groups revealed a significant difference in the effectiveness of video versus leaflet counseling approaches, favoring video media (p = 0.002). These findings suggest that health workers should prioritize the use of engaging media, such as videos, in health promotion efforts aimed at preparing adolescents for menarche.</p> 2025-07-17T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Kesmas Prima Indonesia
