Rini Puspita Sari, Nur Jalal, Antonius Mana, Frederikus
Abstract: BPJS services certainly cannot be separated from efforts to maintain service quality standards which at least include service procedures, completion time, service costs, service products, facilities and infrastructure, as… s well as the competence of service personnel. Therefore, BPJS as an institution that provides health insurance to the public should measure the quality of services provided, especially through the HIS program. The aim of this research is to describe how the Health Insurance Administering Agency (BPJS) provides services at the Merauke Regency Regional General Hospital (RSUD Merauke Regency). The research method used is a qualitative descriptive technique. Based on the research results, the availability of adequate health facilities and equipment at BPJS counters can help officers in carrying out their duties in providing services to BPJS participants and is a factor that influences services at BPJS counters in Merauke-General Region. the affected hospitals are physical evidence. In accessing health services, officers must be sensitive in handling patient complaints and nursing staff must be responsive in resolving complaints from BPJS participants. Apart from that, nurses or civil servants must be punctual and each have an educational background related to BPJS. This applies to both training in the health and non-health sectors and the last is certainty, namely that to get services from BPJS, patients must follow the procedures set out in regional regulations, do not follow

The Metaanalysis of the Analgesic Effect of Electroencephalographic Neurofeedback for People with Chronic Pain

Elvina Zuhir, Desmawita Lestari, Reza Wahyudi, Aisya Raehan Fadhillah
Abstract: Chronic pain represents a major global health burden and often remains resistant to conventional pharmacological treatment, prompting the exploration of alternative therapeutic strategies. Electroencephalographic (EEG) neurofeedback… eurofeedback has emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulatory intervention that enables patients to self-regulate brain activity and potentially alleviate persistent pain symptoms. This systematic review addresses the research problem of inconsistent evidence regarding the clinical efficacy and underlying mechanisms of EEG-based neurofeedback for chronic pain management in adults. A comprehensive analysis of 80 studies involving adults with chronic pain lasting at least three months was conducted, examining neurofeedback protocols, clinical pain outcomes, neurophysiological changes, secondary benefits, and methodological quality. Findings revealed heterogeneous results, with several studies reporting statistically significant and clinically meaningful pain reduction, particularly in conditions such as chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and chronic back pain. Observed neurophysiological changes, including increased alpha power and modified connectivity in pain-related brain regions, were sometimes associated with clinical improvement, alongside reported benefits in sleep quality, mood, and overall well-being. However, evidence from sham-controlled randomized trials showed no significant differences between intervention and control groups, highlighting methodological limitations and challenges in blinding procedures. The review concludes that EEG neurofeedback is a safe and feasible intervention with potential therapeutic value for chronic pain, although current evidence remains inconsistent. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative evaluation of clinical outcomes, neurophysiological mechanisms, and protocol-specific effects, while emphasizing the need for personalized approaches, biomarker identification, and rigorous experimental designs to clarify efficacy and optimize treatment implementation.

Hubungan Kadar Hemoglobin terhadap Saturasi Oksigen pada Pasien Rawat Inap Penyakit Paru Obstruktif Kronis (PPOK) Eksaserbasi Akut di RSUD dr. Suhatman Mars Kota Dumai

Octariany, Surya Arfa
Abstract: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive chronic respiratory disease that has become a global health concern due to its high morbidity and mortality rates and its impact on patients’ quality of life.… e. In acute exacerbation conditions, impaired oxygenation becomes a major problem that may be influenced by various factors, including hemoglobin levels as the primary component of oxygen transport in the blood. However, the relationship between hemoglobin levels and oxygen saturation in patients with acute exacerbation COPD remains inconsistent, particularly in populations exposed to high environmental risk factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between hemoglobin levels and oxygen saturation in patients with acute exacerbation COPD hospitalized at RSUD dr. Suhatman MARS Dumai, Kota Dumai. This research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 73 patients selected through total sampling based on medical record data. Bivariate analysis using the Spearman correlation test showed no significant relationship between hemoglobin levels and oxygen saturation (r = 0.098; p = 0.412), indicating a very weak and statistically insignificant correlation. The study concluded that hemoglobin levels do not directly influence the oxygenation status of patients with acute exacerbation COPD, where impaired oxygenation is more strongly affected by respiratory factors such as ventilation-perfusion imbalance and structural lung damage. The novelty of this study lies in its empirical evidence demonstrating the limited role of hemoglobin as a predictor of oxygenation in patients with acute exacerbation COPD within a population with specific environmental characteristics, thereby providing a basis for developing more comprehensive clinical approaches in monitoring and managing COPD patients.

Based on the observations made by the author, the… use of syringes at the Air Joman Health Center fluctuates every month consisting of 1 ml  syringes, 2.5 ml syringes, 3 ml syringes, 5 ml syringes and 10 ml syringes. After use, the syringe should not be reused and must be discarded. However, sometimes there are obstacles in serving patients, this is due to the limitations of syringes. The number of needles data can only be estimated from the number of available medical devices (stock), because the need for each month is different. This resulted in not all the needs of medical devices were met and there was often additional stock. To overcome problems regarding the processing of medical device stock data, assistance with forecasting is needed, which is the process of estimating future demand. The forecasting system is designed using the PHP programming language and MySQL database. Forecasting the supply of syringes at the Air Joman Health Center speeds up the cashier's work process to make reports because the forecasting system automatically produces forecasting results when the calculate button is clicked and prints the report. Keywords: Single Moving Average Method; Syringe Supplies; Joman Water Health Center.   Abstrak: Puskesmas Air Joman merupakan pusat kesehatan masyarakat yang memberikan pelayanan dalam bentuk jasa pengobatan kepada masyarakat Air Joman dan sekitarnya.
