This study explores the perceptions of medical students regarding the role of podcasts and YouTube in enhancing their understanding of medical knowledge, while also examining the factors influencing their usage and reviewing these media from an Islamic perspective. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with third-year medical students at YARSI University who actively utilize these platforms as self-directed learning tools. The findings reveal that students perceive podcasts and YouTube as effective, flexible, and engaging resources for visualizing complex medical concepts, revising course material, and supporting individual learning preferences. Internal factors such as motivation, digital literacy, and learning styles, as well as external factors like internet access, content quality, and institutional support, significantly affect usage. From an Islamic perspective, the majority of students believe that the use of digital media for learning aligns with Islamic values, provided it is used with sincere intentions and does not interfere with religious obligations. This study highlights the growing relevance of digital media in modern medical education and supports its integration into curriculum design with consideration of ethical and religious values.

Fransiska Satriani Damput — 2025-06-30

Controlling drug inventory in hospitals plays an important role in ensuring the continuation of safe, timely, and efficient health services. However, problems such as overstock, out-of-stock, and inefficiency of the distribution process are often the main obstacles that still occur frequently. Lean Six Sigma in drug inventory control in hospitals is an approach that combines Lean and Six Sigma principles to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and decrease variation in the drug management process. The implementation of Lean Six Sigma aims to overcome problems such as stock out, overstock, and inefficient drug purchases, thereby improving the quality of pharmaceutical services in hospitals. Methods: This literature study used a combination of keywords "six", "sigma", lean", "inventory", "pharmacy", "hospital" and "Indonesia" in three databases ProQuest, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. With the guidance of PRISMA, the selection of research articles that meet the inclusion and exclusion requirements is carried out. Results: Using the PRISMA guide, 6703 articles were found from the combined keywords. After screening for conformity with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 5 research articles were found that explained the implementation of lean six sigma in the pharmaceutical inventory supervision area in hospitals. From the five research articles, there are several implementations of lean six sigma such as DMAIC, 5 R's, Pareto Chart, Turnover Ratio, and waste analysis. Conclusion: Several methods of implementing lean management can be applied in pharmaceutical logistics to improve inventory oversight in pharmaceutical logistics.

Factors Influencing the Utilization of Inpatient Units: Demand, Provision and Policies Comprehensively in Literature Review

Sadewa Yudha Sukawati — 2025-06-29

The 2023 expansion of Indonesia's National Health Insurance (JKN) to 95.2% coverage and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases have driven increases in patient length of stay and inpatient visits, yet hospital bed distribution remains uneven across provinces, causing patient backlogs and delays in critical care. To comprehensively review demand, supply, and policy factors affecting inpatient unit utilization, measured by the Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR), in literature published from 2020 to 2025. A Literature Review was conducted using the PEOS framework (Patient, Exposure, Outcome, Studies). Articles were sourced from Science Direct, SpringerLink, and ProQuest, followed by deduplication, title/abstract screening, and full-text selection based on inclusion-exclusion criteria. The PRISMA flowchart guided the screening process to ensure alignment with PEOS. Out of 57 identified articles, 20 met the criteria for full analysis. Findings indicate that patient demand, bed supply capacity, and financing and referral policies significantly influence BOR. However, no study was found that integrates all three aspects comprehensively. Demand, supply, and policy are key determinants of hospital bed utilization. Further research examining their interactions is needed to develop strategic recommendations for capacity management and equitable access to inpatient services.

The Relationship of Lactate Albumin Ratio With Sofa Score As A Predictor of Sepsis Patients in The Intensive Care Room

Tengku Abdul Karim — 2025-06-30

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulation of the host response to infection which causes systemic changes, namely an increase in the serum lactate/albumin ratio which is associated with mortality. Method:This study is a clinical observational analytical study with a prospective cohort design at fittingAdult patients diagnosed with sepsis in the integrated inpatient ward and intensive care ward at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. The subject sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with a consecutive sampling method where 50 subjects were required. Bivariate analysis used the Pearson correlation test and the linear relationship between the lactate-albumin ratio value and the SOFA score used linear regression. A 95% confidence interval with a p value <0.05 was considered significantly significant Results :The results of the research on the first day found that the average LAR H1 was 0.59 + 0.51 (0.12-2.26) and the average SOFA H1 score was 7.32 + 1.88 (7) where an r value of 0.726 was obtained. indicates a high and significant correlation between Lactate Albumin Ratio and SOFA Score as a predictor of sepsis patients (p value = 0.000, p<0.05). On the third day, the average LAR H3 score was 0.12 + 0.29 (0.21-0.47) and the average SOFA H3 score was 9.58 + 2.01 (10) where an r value of 0.33 was found which indicates Very low and insignificant correlation between Lactate Albumin Ratio and SOFA Score as a predictor of sepsis patients (p value = 0.818, p > 0.05). Conclusion:The lactate-albumin ratio was strongly correlated with the SOFA score on the first day of adult patients diagnosed with sepsis in the integrated inpatient ward and intensive care ward.
