ABSTRACT


Background: This study examined the satisfaction levels of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) using the "Mekonsdara" counselling service application. Access to quality healthcare services remains a significant challenge for PLWHA, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, where HIV/AIDS prevalence is high. Objectives: The objective was to assess patient satisfaction with the Mekonsdara application, a telenursing tool designed to enhance healthcare access. Methods: A descriptive observational survey was conducted with 50 respondents from the VCT clinic at Dr M. Jamil General Hospital Padang, Indonesia using purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and analysed using the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) method. Results: Results showed that most respondents were highly satisfied, particularly with content (82%), accuracy (80%), format (64%), ease of use (76%), and timeliness (76%). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Mekonsdara application effectively meets the needs of PLWHA for accessible, reliable, and user-friendly counselling services. The study highlights the potential of telenursing to improve healthcare access in resource-limited settings. Further research is recommended to explore the broader implications of telenursing on patient satisfaction and healthcare outcomes.

INTRODUCTION

HIV/AIDS remains a major health issue, with ongoing challenges such as stigma, limited access to healthcare, and complexities in disease management. In Indonesia, the epidemic continues to spread at an alarming rate. As of September 2023, data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia reported 515,455 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), many of whom face significant barriers to accessing quality healthcare services (Byanyima & Kavanagh, 2022; Roza et al., 2023; Tian et al., 2023).

Every individual, including those living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), has a right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health similar to the general population, which includes availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality. Research shows that many patients face difficulties in getting consistent care and adequate support (Fauk et al., 2021; Mulyawijaya et al., 2022). PLWHA often experience negative stigma and unfair or discriminatory treatment by health care providers and society (Demartoto et al., 2023). Telenursing can be a much- needed solution in the context of HIV/AIDS to address the challenges faced by PLWHA. Telenursing, also known as tele-nursing, is a combination of nursing services and technology- based telecommunications that facilitate healthcare delivery to patients through digital media. The emergence of telenursing is driven by several factors, including limited availability of human resources, which restricts reaching more patients; hospital and infrastructure capacity constraints; and minimising infection risk between patients and healthcare providers while ensuring access to healthcare services (Afik & Pandin, 2021; Locsin et al., 2021; Siriwardhana et al., 2021).


Research shows that telenursing technology can enhance access to healthcare services, increase participation among medically or socially marginalised individuals, reduce infection transmission, provide patient convenience by eliminating travel time or distance barriers, enable collaboration among various healthcare fields in patient care without requiring in-person meetings, and offer the emotional support and education that patients need (Boro & Hariyati, 2019; Kamal et al., 2023; Lanza et al., 2020).


Mekonsdara is an example of telenursing implementation in the context of HIV/AIDS patient counselling media (Wahyuni et al., 2025). It is a digital platform that allows patients to communicate with healthcare providers easily. The application has various features like chat, video calls and medical data management which are aimed at improving access to healthcare and counselling services for PLWHA. This study aims to assess the perspectives of PLWHA on the use of the “Mekonsdara” counselling media application.


METHODOLOGY

This study employed a descriptive observational design with a survey approach to assess the satisfaction levels of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) regarding their use of the "Mekonsdara" counselling service application. The sample consisted of 50 respondents, all of whom were HIV/AIDS patients attending the Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) clinic at Dr M. Jamil General Hospital in Padang.


Sampling and Participants

A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants. This method was chosen due to its suitability for targeting a specific population (PLWHA) who were actively using the "Mekonsdara" application, ensuring the relevance and accuracy of the data (Ahmed, 2024; Rasad et al., 2023). The inclusion criteria for participants were as follows: individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS who were willing to participate in the study. Patients who were suffering from severe opportunistic infections or experiencing significant adverse drug reactions were excluded from the study to ensure that the data reflected the experiences of those who were able to use the application effectively.


Data Collection and Tool Validation

Primary data was collected through questionnaires designed to evaluate user satisfaction based on the End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) method, which was employed to assess five key variables: content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. These variables were specifically chosen to capture the broad dimensions of user experience with the application. To ensure the reliability and validity of the tool, the questionnaire was pre-tested and revised as necessary before use in the study. The EUCS method, as shown in Table 1, as described by Putra and Prehanto (2021), has been widely used and validated in previous research, confirming its effectiveness in evaluating user satisfaction with digital services. All items on the questionnaire were tested for both validity and reliability, ensuring that the measurements were accurate and consistent.

DISCUSSION


The findings of this study highlight the significant role of the "Mekonsdara" application in improving patient satisfaction among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The high satisfaction ratings across the variables of content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness underscore the potential of telenursing applications in addressing critical gaps in healthcare accessibility and quality for vulnerable populations.


The content variable, with an 82% "very satisfied" rating, demonstrates the effectiveness of the Mekonsdara application in providing comprehensive, clear, and relevant information to its users. This aligns with previous studies that emphasise the importance of high-quality content in enhancing user satisfaction in mobile health applications (Azzahrah et al., 2020; Kord et al., 2021). The inclusion of features such as live chat and educational articles likely contributes to this high level of satisfaction, as these tools provide users with the necessary resources to manage their health effectively.


Accuracy was another area of strength, with 80% of respondents expressing high satisfaction. The reliance on evidence-based information from journals, books, and expert consultations ensures that users receive reliable and non-misleading guidance. This finding corroborates the literature that highlights the critical role of accuracy in building trust and confidence among users of health applications (Yazid et al., 2019). Furthermore, the seamless navigation and error-free data input enhance the application's credibility and usability.


The format of the Mekonsdara application was rated "very satisfied" by 64% of respondents, reflecting its appealing and user-friendly design. Effective visual design, including colour schemes and font choices, plays a crucial role in maintaining user engagement and ensuring ease of understanding (Damayanti et al., 2018). The Mekonsdara application’s emphasis on accessibility for all age groups further demonstrates its inclusivity and adaptability to diverse user needs.


Ease of use emerged as a significant factor, with 76% of respondents indicating high satisfaction. The intuitive interface, rapid registration process, and streamlined navigation contribute to this positive perception. These findings align with the principles of user-centred design, which advocate for simplicity and accessibility to enhance user experience (Putra & Prehanto, 2021; Paneru et al., 2024). The ability of the application to cater to individuals with varying levels of digital literacy further underscores its effectiveness in reaching marginalised populations (Bansal & Choudhary, 2024; Prasastiningtyas et al., 2024).


Timeliness, rated "very satisfied" by 76% of respondents, highlights the importance of prompt and real-time information delivery in healthcare applications. The application’s high responsiveness and efficient notification system ensure that users can access up-to-date information without delays. This capability is particularly critical in the context of HIV/AIDS management, where timely interventions can significantly impact health outcomes (Siriwardhana et al., 2021; Van Zyl et al., 2021).


The overall high satisfaction ratings across all evaluated variables demonstrate the Mekonsdara application’s potential to overcome barriers to healthcare access, such as stigma, geographic limitations, and resource constraints. These findings are consistent with studies emphasizing the role of telenursing in improving healthcare delivery and patient satisfaction in resource- limited settings (Afik & Pandin, 2021; Bruce et al., 2024). Moreover, the application’s ability to facilitate direct communication with healthcare providers fosters a sense of support and reassurance among users.


Despite these positive findings, there are areas that warrant further exploration. For instance, future studies could investigate the long-term impact of the Mekonsdara application on health outcomes and adherence to treatment among PLWHA. Additionally, examining the scalability and cost-effectiveness of implementing similar telenursing solutions in other healthcare contexts could provide valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare providers.


The Mekonsdara application exemplifies the transformative potential of telenursing in enhancing healthcare access and satisfaction for PLWHA. By addressing key factors such as content quality, accuracy, design, ease of use, and timeliness, the application sets a benchmark for future innovations in digital health. These findings underscore the importance of adopting user-centred approaches in the development and implementation of healthcare technologies to meet the diverse needs of patients effectively.


Limitations

The study has several limitations that should be acknowledged. Conducted in a single healthcare setting, the VCT clinic at Dr M. Jamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia the findings may not be generalisable to other contexts or healthcare facilities. The cross-sectional design captures user satisfaction at a single point in time, leaving gaps in understanding changes over time or long-term outcomes of using the "Mekonsdara" application. Additionally, the small sample size of 50 respondents limits the representativeness of the broader population of PLWHA, suggesting the need for larger and more diverse samples in future research. Furthermore, this study focused solely on user satisfaction without exploring specific barriers, such as technological literacy or internet access, that could affect the adoption and utilisation of the application. Addressing these limitations in future studies could provide more comprehensive insights into the effectiveness and scalability of telenursing solutions.


CONCLUSION

The study aimed to assess the satisfaction levels of HIV/AIDS patients (PLWHA) using the "Mekonsdara" counselling service application, focusing on variables such as content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness. The results revealed that the majority of respondents were highly satisfied across all variables. Specifically, 82% of respondents were very satisfied with the content, which was clear, complete, and relevant to their needs. Accuracy was rated highly by 80% of respondents, who found the information reliable and error-free. The application’s format was praised by 64% of respondents for its appealing and user-friendly design. Ease of use was a notable strength, with 76% expressing satisfaction due to the intuitive interface. Timeliness also stood out, with 76% appreciating the quick and real-time updates provided by the application.


The "Mekonsdara" application effectively addresses the needs of PLWHA for accessible and reliable counselling services, illustrating the potential of telenursing to overcome healthcare access barriers in resource-limited settings. Long-term, the application could play a significant role in improving patient adherence to treatment and overall health outcomes. Future research should explore the scalability of the application in different healthcare contexts and regions, as well as its sustained impact on health behaviours. Additionally, investigating the integration of advanced features such as predictive analytics and personalised health recommendations could further enhance its effectiveness. Overcoming barriers to digital adoption, such as internet access and digital literacy, will be essential for ensuring the broader applicability and long- term success of telenursing solutions like "Mekonsdara".
