Abstract

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is traditionally performed by mothers, while fathers’ involvement often remains overlooked. Understanding fathers’ experiences is essential to promote their participation and strengthen their role in caring for premature infants. This study aimed to explore fathers’ lived experiences and inner perceptions regarding their involvement in providing Kangaroo Mother Care for premature infants, and to generate evidence supporting the promotion of father-led KMC as part of shared parenting. This qualitative study employed a descriptive phenomenological approach. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation, and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Six major themes emerged: (1) fathers’ awareness and knowledge of KMC; (2) fathers’ motivations and expectations; (3) emotional experiences during KMC; (4) strengthening of the paternal role through KMC; (5) barriers and challenges to father involvement; and (6) strategies and support needed to enhance fathers’ participation. In conclusion, fathers’ engagement in KMC enhances emotional bonding with their infants and reinforces their caregiving role. However, involvement is hindered by privacy concerns, gender role norms, and limited hospital facilities. Institutional policies and healthcare provider support are needed to encourage father participation and create a father-friendly care environment to optimize KMC implementation.Keywords: Kangaroo Mother Care; fathers; premature infants; paternal involvement

Abstract

Utilization of the Posyandu Lansia remains suboptimal in the Belimbing Health Center despite its essential role in preventive health services for older adults. Various demographic and behavioral factors have been examined, yet the determinants influencing service utilization remain inconsistent across studies. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the utilization of the Posyandu Lansia, with a particular focus on the role of family support as a potential determinant. A quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional design was conducted among older adults registered in the Belimbing Health Center. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire measuring demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, family support, health worker support, and accessibility. Statistical analysis included descriptive and bivariate testing using the Chi square method. The findings revealed that family support was the only factor significantly associated with the utilization of the Posyandu Lansia. Emotional encouragement was generally adequate, yet gaps were evident in instrumental support such as transportation and physical accompaniment, as well as informational support such as schedule reminders. Other variables including age, sex, education, occupation, knowledge, attitude, distance, and health worker support showed no significant association with service utilization. In conclusion, family support serves as the primary determinant of Posyandu Lansia utilization. Strengthening instrumental and informational support within the household is essential to improving attendance and ensuring consistent engagement in preventive health services among older adults.Keywords: Posyandu Lansia; service utilization; family support

Abstract

Nurses' work motivation plays a crucial role in the quality of nursing services. One factor that significantly shapes work motivation is the ward head's leadership style, specifically caring leadership. This study aims to explore and summarize scientific evidence regarding the influence of ward head's caring leadership on nurses' work motivation in inpatient wards. The method used was a systematic literature review by examining 16 research journals obtained from the PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCOHost), Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The literature search was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. Articles published between 2020 and 2025 were selected based on inclusion criteria, and those that met these criteria were evaluated for quality through critical appraisal. This study shows that caring leadership has a positive impact on nurses' work motivation and well-being, and can reduce burnout. Effective leadership improves nurses' work engagement by increasing motivation, affective commitment, and reducing work stress levels. Furthermore, the implementation of a caring work environment model has been shown to be effective in creating a healthy work atmosphere and reducing burnout in nurses. Caring leadership improves nurses' work motivation, well-being, and engagement, as well as reducing burnout.

Abstract

The Command Center system has been piloted at RSUP Prof. dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah for approximately one year; however, its performance has not previously been evaluated. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the Command Center in regulating patient flow within the hospital. A mixed methods design was employed and conducted from December 2024 to May 2025. Secondary data, consisting of referral volume reports and response time records, were analyzed descriptively. Primary data were collected through in depth interviews and focus group discussions involving seven key informants and four FGD groups, and were analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that the Command Center increased the number of accepted incoming referrals by 53%, while the proportion of unaccepted referrals decreased by 26%. The system also reduced patient congestion in the Emergency Department by enabling direct transfer of referred patients to the appropriate inpatient units based on clinical needs, bypassing the ED when necessary. Response times varied across medical staff groups, ranging from 14 to 136 minutes. However, by January 2025, approximately 93% of referrals achieved a response time of ≤60 minutes, with an average of around 20 minutes per referral. Overall, the Command Center improved the effectiveness and efficiency of the referral process, ensuring that referred patients received timely and appropriate care according to their medical condition and service requirements.Keywords: command center; effectiveness; efficiency; patient flow

Abstract

Childhood cancer poses significant challenges for families, particularly in settings where access to treatment and supportive care is limited. Children undergoing chemotherapy require repeated hospitalizations, creating disruptions in family routines and increasing caregiver burden. Discharge planning has been shown to strengthen caregiver readiness, improve continuity of care, and reduce unplanned visits. Knowledge and self‑efficacy are essential components of caregiver competence and influence decision‑making, adherence, and stress management. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of optimized discharge planning on caregiver knowledge and self‑efficacy among parents of children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. A quantitative pre‑experimental one‑group pre‑posttest design was used involving 35 caregivers selected through purposive sampling. Researcher‑developed Guttman‑scale questionnaires measured knowledge (20 items) and self‑efficacy (25 items), both validated and reliable. The intervention consisted of structured discharge planning delivered from admission to discharge, including assessment, education on cancer, chemotherapy, and management of treatment side effects. Pre‑test data were collected at admission, and post‑test data at discharge. Analysis employed descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed‑rank test. Results showed significant improvements in caregiver knowledge (mean increase from 76.28 to 81.57; p = 0.007) and self‑efficacy (mean increase from 70.40 to 80.91; p = 0.000). Gains were observed across all components of knowledge and self‑efficacy, and no respondent experienced a decline. In conclusion, optimized discharge planning effectively enhances caregiver knowledge and self‑efficacy in pediatric oncology settings, underscoring the importance of structured educational support during hospitalization and transition to home care.Keywords: childhood cancer; caregiver; discharge planning; knowledge; self‑efficacy; chemotherapy

Abstract

Cancer patients in Indonesia continue to experience substantial inequalities in accessing healthcare services, driven by structural, geographical, financial, and informational barriers. These disparities often result in delayed diagnosis, fragmented care, and adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of cancer patients receiving navigation services from Cancer Patient Navigators (NAPAK) and to examine how these experiences reflect broader patterns of healthcare access inequality. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological design was employed, involving ten purposively selected participants who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through in‑depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis supported by NVivo 14 software. Four major themes emerged from the analysis: (1) various healthcare access inequalities, including saturated schedules, complex administrative procedures, geographical distance, financial constraints, and appointment difficulties; (2) the primary role of cancer patient navigators, who provided essential informational, procedural, emotional, and advocacy support throughout the care continuum; (3) transportation and access disparities, highlighting both accessible and severely limited mobility conditions across regions; and (4) the impact of healthcare access disparities on health, reflected in heightened anxiety, psychological distress, physical exhaustion, and emotional burden. Participants also expressed expectations for improved navigation services, enhanced facilities, clearer information systems, and stronger governmental support for insurance programs. The study concludes that healthcare access inequality significantly shapes cancer patients’ physical and psychological well‑being. Strengthening communication between healthcare providers and patients, improving navigation services, and enhancing policy support are critical to reducing disparities and promoting equitable cancer care.Keywords: cancer patient navigation; healthcare access inequality; transportation barriers; patient experience

Abstract

Pregnancy specific anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems experienced by pregnant women and may negatively affect maternal and fetal outcomes. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to reduce anxiety during pregnancy; however, evidence regarding the comparative effectiveness of these interventions remains heterogeneous. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness on non-pharmacological health promotion interventions in reducing pregnancy-specific anxiety among pregnant women. This study used a Systematic Literature Review design following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. Literature searches were conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases for articles published between 2021-2025. A total of 16 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed narratively using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool. The findings showed that mindfulness-based interventions were the most consistently effective intervention in reducing pregnancy specific anxiety, stress, emotional distress, and fear of childbirth. Other interventions such as prenatal yoga, relaxation techniques, music therapy, antenatal education, psycological, digital interventions, and structured social support also demonstrated positive effects on maternal psycological wellbeing during pregnancy. Non-pharmacological health promotion interventions have the potential to support maternal mental health and can be integrated into antenatal care services.Keywords: pregnancy specific anxiety; pregnant women; health promotion; non-pharmacological intervention; systematic literature review

Abstract

The implementation of nursing rounding is a routine nurse visitation conducted to evaluate patients’ conditions and ensure that their needs are consistently met. This intervention also strengthens the empathic relationship between nurses and patients through full presence, direct communication, and patient-centered attention. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of nursing rounding implementation on patient and nurse satisfaction levels. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group posttest approach was employed to evaluate patient satisfaction, nurse satisfaction, and the implementation of nursing rounding through observational methods. Nursing rounding interventions were conducted every two hours for hospitalized patients. The study was carried out in the Inpatient Unit of Hospital X in January 2026, involving 60 hospitalized patients and 35 nurses. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, nursing rounding observation sheets, the Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMS) questionnaire, and the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale (MMSS). Patient and nurse satisfaction were measured after the intervention using questionnaires and subsequently analyzed using parametric statistical tests. The results showed that the majority of nurses were aged 26–35 years (60.0%), held professional nursing (ners) qualifications (54.3%), and were at pk i clinical level (77.1%). Meanwhile, most patients were aged 26–35 years (31.7%), female (53.3%), and employed (66.7%). Following the implementation of nursing rounding, most nurses reported satisfaction within the satisfied category, while most patients were categorized as very satisfied. Statistical analysis demonstrated that nursing rounding implementation had a significant effect on both nurse satisfaction (p-value = 0.000) and patient satisfaction (p-value = 0.000). In conclusion, nursing rounding implementation was identified as a primary contributing factor to both patient and nurse satisfaction.Keywords: nursing rounding implementation; nurse job satisfaction; patient experience

Abstract

Kidney disease remains a major contributor to the burden of noncommunicable diseases in Indonesia, and hemodialysis is the primary renal replacement therapy covered under the National Health Insurance (JKN). Understanding determinants of hemodialysis utilization is essential for improving service equity and effectiveness. The objective of this study was to identify determinants of hemodialysis utilization among JKN participants with kidney disease in West Java in 2022. This cross-sectional study analyzed secondary data from the BPJS Health Sample Data 2015–2022. A total of 310 respondents diagnosed with kidney disease (ICD‑10 N17–N19) and residing in West Java were included. Descriptive analysis, chi-square/Fisher’s exact tests, and logistic regression (backward LR) were performed to determine factors associated with hemodialysis utilization. Two variables were significantly associated with hemodialysis utilization: age and type of kidney disease. Productive-age participants had a lower risk of not receiving hemodialysis (OR = 0.329), indicating a protective effect. Participants of non‑productive age with acute kidney disease had the highest probability of not receiving hemodialysis (97.7%), whereas productive-age participants with chronic kidney disease had the lowest probability (35.8%). Age and type of kidney disease are key determinants of hemodialysis utilization among JKN participants in West Java. Productive-age individuals are more likely to receive hemodialysis, while non‑productive-age patients with acute kidney disease are at greatest risk of not receiving treatment.Keywords: hemodialysis; national health insurance; kidney disease; determinants; West Java, Indonesia
