Pelaksanaan Observasi, Wawancara, dan Simulasi Penanganan Cedera di Lokasi Puskesmas Maukeli

Abstract

Management of injuries and dislocations in primary healthcare facilities requires appropriate healthcare skills to prevent complications. This study aims to describe the implementation of observation, interviews, and simulation in handling injuries and dislocations at Maukeli Community Health Center (Puskesmas Maukeli). This research used a qualitative descriptive method with healthcare workers directly involved in emergency care as the subjects. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and simulation of dislocation management. The results showed that healthcare workers were able to recognize the clinical signs of dislocation, carry out initial management systematically, perform immobilization according to indications, and determine hospital referrals for high-risk patients. Patient follow-up, including neurovascular evaluation, repeat radiological examination, patient education, and physiotherapy programs, was also implemented to support joint function recovery. In conclusion, Puskesmas Maukeli is capable of providing effective initial management for dislocation cases, even though such cases are relatively rare. These findings demonstrate the readiness of both facilities and healthcare personnel in managing acute injuries at the primary care level.
