Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Kadar Gula Darah pada Mahasiswi Program Studi Kebidanan Langsa Poltekkes Kemenkes Aceh
Background: The prevalence of hyperglycemia in adolescents is increasing. Lack of awareness for blood sugar screening causes cases of hyperglycemia to be undiagnosed. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors influencing blood glucose levels among students of the Midwifery Study Program at Langsa Polytechnic of Health, Ministry of Health, Aceh, in 2025. Method: This study employed a cross-sectional design with a proportional sample of 51 students. The variables studied included sugar consumption patterns, physical activity, family history of diabetes, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Data were collected through questionnaires, random blood glucose level measurements, and BMI calculations. Results: The results showed that family history of diabetes (p = 0.029) and BMI (p = 0.032) had a significant relationship with blood glucose levels. In contrast, sugar consumption patterns (p = 0.347) and physical activity (p = 0.492) did not show significant associations. Conclusion: These findings indicate that genetic factors and nutritional status have a more significant impact on blood glucose levels than dietary habits and physical activity. Therefore, students with a family history of diabetes and high BMI should be more aware of their diet and lifestyle to prevent blood glucose imbalance

Satisfaction of Outpatient Services at Sarkies Asyiyah Hospital Kudus Regarding the Frequency of BPJS PRB
Background: The BPJS Referral Program (PRB) is intended for patients with stable chronic diseases who require long-term care at FKTP. The frequency of PRB is influenced by patient satisfaction with the referral hospital's services. Objective: to analyze the effect of satisfaction with outpatient services at Sarkies Asyiyah Kudus Hospital on the frequency of BPJS PRB utilization. Method: A correlational analytical study with a quantitative approach was conducted on 30 outpatient respondents participating in BPJS at Sarkies Aisyiyah Kudus Hospital who were selected by Quota Sampling from 14 polyclinics. The research instrument was a patient satisfaction questionnaire based on five dimensions of SERVQUAL (Tangible, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy). Data analysis used descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Spearman correlation, and ordinal logistic regression. Results: All service quality dimensions are in the good–very good category. Spearman's test showed a significant positive relationship between patient satisfaction and the frequency of reverse referrals (p < 0.01) with the largest contribution being Tangible (ρ = 0.884). Ordinal logistic regression produced a Nagelkerke R-Square of 0.97, confirming that satisfaction explains 97% of the variation in reverse referrals. The Tangible dimension has a significant effect (p = 0.026), while the other dimensions are not significant. Conclusion: Outpatient satisfaction influences the frequency of BPJS PRB with the Tangible dimension as the dominant factor. Improvement of physical facilities and service comfort needs to be prioritized to support the effectiveness of the referral system

Hubungan Kadar Kreatinin Dengan Hemoglobin Pada Pasien Gagal Ginjal Kronik Sebagai Rujukan Terapi Erythropoietin (EPO)
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition and a global health problem with various causes that lead to a gradual decline in kidney function, resulting in increased creatinine levels. This condition reduces the production of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, leading to decreased hemoglobin levels and resulting in anemia. Erythropoietin (EPO) therapy represents a primary therapeutic option for the management of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) PurposeTo determine the relationship between creatinine and hemoglobin levels in chronic kidney disease patients as a reference for erythropoietin (EPO) therapy. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach by reviewing medical record data. The sample consisted of 56 patients obtained through total sampling. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. Results: The average creatinine level was 9.92 mg/dL, and the average hemoglobin (Hb) level was 7.96 g/dL. Pearson correlation analysis between creatinine and hemoglobin levels in patients receiving erythropoietin (EPO) therapy showed a statistically significant result with a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05) and a moderate negative correlation (r = -0.436). Conclusion: A significant negative correlation was found between creatinine and hemoglobin levels in patients undergoing EPO therapy, indicating that higher creatinine levels tend to be associated with lower hemoglobin concentrations
