Abstract

Package C equivalency education represents a strategic non-formal education pathway aimed at expanding access to secondary education for individuals who are unable to participate in formal schooling. However, its implementation in Minahasa Regency faces several challenges, including low participation rates, inadequate facilities, limited tutor competence, and suboptimal program management. This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation processes of Package C education, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and develop a contextual management model based on local cultural values, namely the Mapalus Model. This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving stakeholders such as education officials, PKBM/SKB managers, tutors, learners, and community leaders. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the management of Package C education has not been systematically implemented across all stages. Planning is not fully needs-based, implementation remains conventional, and evaluation is not optimally utilized. Supporting factors include stakeholder involvement and government support, while inhibiting factors include limited infrastructure, low community awareness, and a lack of tutor training. The study proposes a Mapalus-based management model emphasizing collaboration, participation, and collective responsibility. This model integrates participatory planning, collaborative organization, andragogical learning, continuous evaluation, and stakeholder synergy. The model is expected to improve the quality, relevance, and sustainability of equivalency education.

Abstract

The development of health human resources (HHR) is a critical determinant in improving the quality and effectiveness of primary healthcare services, particularly in community health centers (Puskesmas). In the context of decentralization and regional autonomy, local governments are required to manage health workforce planning strategically to ensure adequate availability, equitable distribution, and appropriate competencies of healthcare personnel. However, many regions in Indonesia continue to face persistent challenges, including workforce shortages, uneven distribution across geographical areas, and limited capacity development programs. This study aims to analyze the strategic planning process for enhancing the capacity of health human resources at community health centers in Minahasa Regency. Specifically, the study examines four key stages of planning: preparation, situational analysis, problem formulation, and the development of activity plans (Rencana Usulan Kegiatan/RUK). A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed to explore the complexity of planning processes within real organizational settings. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving key stakeholders, including health office officials, Puskesmas managers, healthcare workers, and planning personnel. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that although strategic planning processes have been formally implemented in accordance with national guidelines, their execution remains suboptimal. Key issues identified include insufficient availability of health personnel, lack of accurate and updated workforce data, weak integration between planning and budgeting, limited capacity of planning staff, and inconsistencies between Puskesmas-level planning and district-level policies. Furthermore, the study highlights that educational management plays a crucial role in strengthening health workforce planning through continuous professional development, competency-based training, and systematic evaluation. The integration of management functions, planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC), is essential to ensure sustainable human resource development in primary healthcare settings. This study concludes that strengthening strategic planning for health human resources requires a comprehensive approach that integrates workload-based planning methods, capacity building for planners, improved data systems, and stronger policy support. It recommends the adoption of competency-based planning frameworks, enhanced intersectoral collaboration, and the institutionalization of continuous education programs to improve the quality of health services at Puskesmas.

Abstract

Abandoned children represent a persistent social problem with long-term implications for educational attainment, psychosocial wellbeing, and the quality of future human resources. This article reformulates a doctoral dissertation into a journal-style paper and examines how the Social Affairs Office of Minahasa Regency designs, implements, and evaluates human resource development strategies for abandoned children from an educational management perspective. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Data were generated through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the strategy has been organized through planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC), supported by legal mandates and cross-sector coordination with police, women and child protection agencies, local communities, and child welfare institutions. In practice, however, the strategy shows uneven effectiveness. It is relatively strong in basic-needs fulfillment, emergency response, administrative verification, and short-course skills training, but remains weaker in formal education reintegration, sustained psychosocial recovery, family reunification quality, and long-term social integration. Key enabling factors include regulatory support, institutional collaboration, and the existence of non-formal training initiatives, while key barriers include inadequate budget allocation, insufficient qualified social workers, limited facilities, weak outcome-based evaluation, low public participation, and low motivation among many children to re-enter school. The article argues that abandoned children's development should not be treated merely as a welfare intervention but as a long-horizon educational management process. Based on the findings, a strengthened educational management strategy is proposed, integrating measurable educational indicators, competency development for social workers, stronger community participation, digitalized case management, and continuous CIPP-based evaluation. Such a strategy is necessary to transform short-term rescue efforts into sustainable human resource development outcomes.

Abstract

The digitalization of health services has shifted hospital management toward integrated information systems, more accurate data governance, and stronger human resource capability. One of the most consequential changes in this transition is the adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), which replaces fragmented paper-based documentation with digital records that can support continuity of care, patient safety, and managerial efficiency. Yet the success of EMR implementation depends not only on software and infrastructure but also on how hospitals manage education and training for the personnel who use the system. This article develops a journal-style synthesis of a qualitative dissertation on the management of EMR training at Gunung Maria General Hospital, Tomohon, Indonesia. The study focused on four managerial dimensions: planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation of training. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving hospital management, medical personnel, and administrative staff. The findings show that EMR utilization has been constrained by high rates of input error, uneven user competence, inadequate needs analysis, limited continuity in post-training support, and weak supervision and evaluation mechanisms. Although EMR training has been implemented, it has not yet been managed as a systematic competency-based program grounded in continuous improvement. The study further shows that effective EMR utilization requires alignment between training design, organizational support, workflow integration, supervision, and evaluation. Based on these findings, the article proposes an integrated education and training management model that emphasizes competency mapping, adaptive instructional strategies, structured mentoring, ongoing supervision, and periodic evaluation linked to service quality outcomes. The model is expected to reduce human error, improve the accuracy of medical data, strengthen user confidence, and enhance the quality of care. This article contributes to educational management and health information systems literature by demonstrating that digital transformation in hospitals must be supported by a human-centered training system rather than by technology adoption alone.

Abstract

This article examines the management of competency improvement for participants in a medical professional education program in forensic and medicolegal sciences. The central problem is the gap between expected forensic-medical competence and the limited learning conditions experienced during a short clinical rotation, particularly the scarcity of real forensic cases that can be observed and practiced directly by learners. The study used a qualitative case-study approach based on in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis was organized through the educational management functions of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC), and was integrated with competency-based medical education, simulation-based learning, and continuous quality improvement. The findings show that competency improvement requires careful planning of competency needs, an integrated curriculum, structured resources, active implementation through lectures, case discussions, laboratory practice, artificial wound simulation, and repeated writing exercises for Visum et Repertum. Evaluation through formative feedback, summative assessment, and simulation-based Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) indicated improvement in descriptive, analytical, documentary, confidence, and collaborative competencies. The article proposes an educational management model that integrates POAC with artificial wound simulation as an innovation to address limited rotation time and real-case scarcity. The model strengthens technical competence, reflective learning, medicolegal reasoning, and quality assurance in forensic medical education.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most urgent public health challenges in contemporary medical practice. Medical education has a strategic role in preparing future physicians to use antimicrobials rationally; however, antimicrobial stewardship is often taught in a fragmented manner, with limited integration between theoretical pharmacology, clinical reasoning, simulation, and digital self-directed learning. This article presents the development, feasibility assessment, and effectiveness evaluation of an educational management model for antimicrobial stewardship among medical students. The study applied a research and development approach using the ADDIE framework, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, while program evaluation was strengthened through the CIPP logic of context, input, process, and product evaluation. Data were obtained through curriculum review, observation, expert validation, learning trials, pre-test and post-test assessment, clinical simulation observation, and student feedback. The findings show that the developed model integrates problem-based learning, simulation-based learning, project-based learning, OSCE-oriented assessment, and digital online self-directed learning. Expert validation indicated that the module was highly feasible in terms of content, language, technology, and implementation. Implementation involving 40 medical students showed improvement in mean knowledge scores from 64.75 before intervention to 87.75 after intervention, with a significant Wilcoxon test result and very large effect size. Students also demonstrated improved clinical decision-making in indication, antimicrobial selection, dosing, duration, culture interpretation, and professional attitude. The model provides a structured, adaptive, and sustainable educational management framework for strengthening rational antimicrobial use in medical education.

Abstract

This article analyzes the influence of social media use, digital literacy, and the effectiveness of reproductive health counseling on medical students' reproductive health knowledge. The study is positioned within educational management because digital platforms, information literacy, and counseling programs are not merely instructional tools; they represent a managed learning ecosystem that requires planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. A quantitative survey design was used with 276 medical students as respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measuring four constructs: social media use, digital literacy, counseling effectiveness, and reproductive health knowledge. Instrument testing showed that all indicators were valid, while reliability coefficients were strong for social media use (Cronbach's alpha = 0.939), digital literacy (0.923), counseling effectiveness (0.933), and reproductive health knowledge (0.926). Multiple regression analysis indicated that the three predictors simultaneously explained 51.3% of the variance in reproductive health knowledge (R = 0.716; R² = 0.513; F = 95.551; p < 0.001). In the final model, social media use showed the strongest standardized effect (β = 0.381), followed by counseling effectiveness (β = 0.346) and digital literacy (β = 0.261). The findings imply that reproductive health education in medical education should be managed as an integrated digital education strategy, combining credible social media content, critical digital literacy development, and interactive counseling. The article contributes to educational management by proposing a practical pathway for strengthening evidence-based reproductive health knowledge through digital learning governance.

Abstract

This article analyzes health education management strategies for accelerating the reduction of stunting in Minahasa Regency. The study is positioned within educational management because stunting reduction is not only a biomedical intervention but also a managed learning process that requires planning, role distribution, community education, inter-sector coordination, monitoring, and sustainability. A qualitative design was used through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document review involving health workers, posyandu cadres, and affected community members. The findings show that health services for stunting reduction have been implemented through primary health care channels such as puskesmas, posyandu, and referral services. The services include antenatal care, iron supplementation, supplementary feeding, immunization, growth monitoring, nutrition education, and follow-up for children with nutritional problems. However, the target has not been fully achieved because stunting remains a multidimensional problem shaped by socioeconomic conditions, cultural practices, incomplete behavior change, limited human resources, fragmented data, and weak cross-sector integration. The article proposes an integrated health education management model consisting of Division of Work, Promotive Education, Preventive Action, Life-Cycle Approach, Community-Based Action, Integrated Services, and Sustainability. The model contributes to educational management by framing stunting reduction as a coordinated system of learning, behavior change, and public health governance.
