Plain Language Summary
Tailored care intervention programs focus on each patient’s needs (cognitive-social factors, intention, and behavior). Tailored care aims to improve health outcomes and patients’ care experience by considering their unique needs and preferences when developing a care plan. In tailored care intervention, there are opportunities to implement individual care that can facilitate health services for diabetic patients in Indonesia and reduce complications by controlling blood glucose levels, cholesterol, and insulin resistance. This study evaluated the efficacy of a tailored care intervention program on some blood biochemical outcomes among Indonesian patients with diabetes. According to the results, the intervention group’s glucose, triglyceride, and glucose triglyceride index values were better than the control group, but this difference was not significant. Cholesterol level increased in both groups and was therefore not significant.

Plain Language Summary
Accreditation of hospitals plays an important role in improving the quality and safety of health care services. Still, it may also cause problems such as reduced clinical training opportunities, increased workload, and high job stress. This study found that healthcare providers experience more anxiety and stress before participating in accreditation programs than after it. This situation may negatively affect their performance and quality of work. As a result, implementing the hospital accreditation program should be properly managed by the implementers to avoid its adverse effects.

• Eating out less and cutting back on processed foods can also help reduce the amount of packaged food a child consumes.
• Educating children about the importance of healthy eating can help reduce the consumption of packaged food.

Plain Language Summary
Packaged foods are often high in sugar, salt, fat, additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors but low in nutrients. These substances often lead to weight gain, delayed growth and development, type 2 diabetes, damage to teeth, food poisoning, and many other health problems. It is recommended that parents avoid giving packaged food to their children as much as possible and prepare meals from scratch at home. Eating out less and reducing the consumption of processed foods can also help reduce the amount of packaged food a child eats. Also, teaching children about healthy eating can help them develop healthy habits.
