Abstract

The JKN mobile application is a digital transformation of the BPJS health business model which originally consisted of administrative activities carried out at branch offices or health facilities. Now, participants can use this application wherever and whenever they want (self service). By using the JKN mobile application, the public and participants can obtain many conveniences, such as ease of paying and changing membership data, ease of accessing information about family participant data. The aim of this research is to implement health services based on the JKN mobile application to reduce queues at the Karang Anyer Health Center. The type of research taken is qualitative research. The subjects in this study were 5 people. Meanwhile, data collection techniques use observation, interview and documentation techniques. The research results show that the National Health Insurance (JKN) mobile application at the Karang Anyer Community Health Center is very effective and efficient in helping patients with registration, referrals and doctor consultations at the Community Health Center. Conclusion By using this application, patients can speed up the registration and referral process and get information more quickly. Patients can also make direct referrals to specialist facilities, which saves time and speeds up the service process. The JKN mobile application for doctor consultations can also be accessed directly by patients via the application. This helps doctors plan their schedules better.

Abstract

Background: Health Human Resources (HRH) include professional health workers, strategic personnel, non-professional staff, and supporting personnel who contribute to healthcare management and delivery to achieve the highest possible standard of public health. The quality of HRH is a key determinant of healthcare service quality, particularly  at  the clinic level. Objectives: To assess the quality of HRH at Santa Maria Palipi Clinic, identify the barriers to improving HRH quality, and describe the efforts made to enhance HRH standards. Research Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 15 informants: 2 key informants, 6 staff members of Santa Maria Palipi Clinic, and 7 patients or their families. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews. Results: The study found that the quality of HRH at Santa Maria Palipi Clinic has not fully met the established standards. Major challenges include difficult-to-change individual characteristics, lack of compliance with existing regulations, limited personnel, and poor collaboration among clinic staff. Efforts to address these issues include regular evaluations and training provided by both the clinic leadership and supporting foundations. Conclusion: Santa Maria Palipi Clinic must continue to improve HRH quality to meet service standards. Strong commitment, continuous training, and better teamwork among health workers are essential strategies for enhancing healthcare service quality.

Abstract

The Mount Sinabung eruption in Karo Regency, North Sumatra, several years ago resulted in substantial material losses and fatalities. The Karo Regency Government through the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) had tried to deal with disaster problems, especially the Mount Sinabung eruption, by involving the Indonesian Army (Kodim 0205/Tanah Karo). The method used in this study was qualitative with a case study approach and sample Army of Indonesia. The results indicated that there was synergy, in the civilian-military relation, in efforts to overcome the Mount Sinabung eruption; especially in terms of evacuation and handling disaster assistance in a better and more systematic way. Therefore, there was a necessity for synergy between the civilians-military as a form to reduce disaster risk, emergency response, and for recovery phase for communities affected by disasters.

Abstract

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally and continue to rise, including in Indonesia. Unhealthy lifestyle changes among the population are a major factor in the rise of NCDs, necessitating effective promotive and preventive strategies. With the advancement of digital technology, health promotion has undergone a transformation through the use of digital media such as mobile health (mHealth), social media, and short message service (SMS). However, the effectiveness of digital health promotion in preventing NCDs still yields mixed results. This study aims to enhance the effectiveness of digital health promotion in preventing NCDs through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The research method follows the PRISMA guidelines, with a literature search based on data from Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect for articles published between 2020 and 2025. Inclusion criteria included Scopus-indexed journals discussing digital interventions in health promotion, while articles in the form of opinions, editorials, and studies without empirical data were excluded. A total of 15 articles met the criteria and were analyzed narratively. The results indicate that digital health promotion is consistently effective in increasing public knowledge and awareness regarding NCD prevention. However, its impact on changes in health behavior remains variable. Mobile health (mHealth)-based interventions demonstrated higher effectiveness in increasing physical activity and reducing body mass index (BMI), while SMS-based interventions were shown to improve adherence to healthy eating patterns. In general, digital health promotion has moderate effectiveness in influencing public health behavior. The study’s conclusions indicate that digital health promotion is a promising strategy for NCD prevention, but requires further development—particularly in integrating behavioral change theory, enhancing user engagement, and ensuring equitable access to technology. Future research is recommended to develop more interactive, personalized, and sustainable interventions to enhance the effectiveness of long-term behavioral.
