Abstract

Background: The distribution of health facilities is an essential indicator to improve public health services in Indonesia. However, the country’s archipelagic geography and uneven population density create challenges in ensuring equal access. This study aimed to analyze hospital distribution in Indonesia based on provinces and main islands to evaluate inequality in health service accessibility. Subjects and Method: A comparative descriptive study was conducted using secondary data. Hospital data were obtained from the Hospital Information System (SIRS) of the Ministry of Health (2024), and population data were retrieved from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) report (2023). A total of 3,209 hospitals were identified across 38 provinces and grouped into seven island clusters: Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Papua, Maluku, and Bali–Nusa Tenggara. The population-to-hospital ratio was calculated, and hospital distribution was further analyzed by province, island, and hospital class. Results: Java accounted for the largest number of hospitals (1,622) due to its high population and better infrastructure. In contrast, Eastern regions such as Papua (73) and Maluku (53) showed limited availability. Inequalities were also found in hospital classes, where advanced hospitals (Class A and B) were concentrated in Java, while peripheral regions were dominated by Class C and D facilities. This disparity forces residents in remote areas to travel long distances for adequate care. Conclusion: Unequal hospital distribution highlights the urgent need for equitable health infrastructure development and strategic resource allocation policies to ensure fair access to health services across Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Substance abuse in Higher and Tertiary Education Institutions (HTEIs) poses a serious threat to students’ academic achievement, mental well-being, and campus safety. Although various interventions have been introduced, the effectiveness of existing policies remains inconsistent. This study compared global literature on school-related substance abuse policies with policy responses in selected Copperbelt HTEIs in Zambia to inform the development of contextually appropriate strategies for substance abuse reduction. Subjects and Method: The study applied the Protocol, Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Reporting (PSALAR) framework, guided by the Population, Interest, and Context (PICo) approach. Two colleges and one university in Zambia’s Copperbelt Province were purposively selected, and an exhaustive online search was conducted to identify institutional policies addressing substance abuse. Peer-reviewed English articles (2013–2023) focusing on punitive and remedial school-based policies were reviewed. Inclusion criteria for HTEIs were adapted to align with the PSALAR framework. Results: Three major themes emerged: (1) policy deficiencies and implementation gaps, (2) punitive versus remedial interventions, and (3) limited monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. The dominant issue was finding an effective balance between punitive and supportive policy approaches. The integration of substance abuse education within institutional frameworks was weak, and evidence on the relative effectiveness of punitive versus remedial measures remained inconclusive. Conclusion: Substance abuse policies in Zambian HTEIs predominantly emphasize punitive responses, with insufficient attention to remedial or preventive efforts. Strengthening evidence-based, context-specific, and student-centered policies is essential to reduce substance abuse and advance Zambia’s progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 3.5 by 2030.

Abstract

Background: Labor is an important asset in achieving organizational goals. The results of the work carried out by the workforce according to their authority and responsibility are influenced by their self-efficacy as part of the workforce's self-concept. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and workforce performance. Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis, with PICO as follows: Population = workforce, Intervention = high self-efficacy, Comparison = low self-efficacy and Outcome = workforce performance. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer Link, and Research Gate. The keywords used are: "Self efficacy" AND "performance" OR "work performance" OR "job performance". Inclusion criteria were full-text articles, cross-sectional study design, multiple linear regression analysis models with standardized coefficient / beta. Articles are collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: Based on the results of a meta-analysis of 8 primary studies on the relationship between self-efficacy and workforce performance from Pakistan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Turkey and Nigeria, it can be concluded that self-efficacy is related to workforce performance. Workers with high self-efficacy have the possibility to perform 1.47 times higher than workers with low self-efficacy, and the results are statistically significant (aOR= 1.47; 95% CI = 1.38 to 1.58; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Self-efficacy is related to workforce performance.

Abstract

Background: Health services are organized efforts by individuals or institutions to prevent and treat diseases, restore health, and improve community well-being. Both government and private healthcare institutions play a crucial role in ensuring accessible and high-quality services. The quality of health services is a key determinant of patient satisfaction. This study aimed to assess the SERVQUAL indicators in measuring the quality of health services and patient satisfaction at Diponegoro National Hospital. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Diponegoro National Hospital, Semarang, in July 2024. A total of 200 patients were recruited using accidental sampling. The dependent variables were service quality and patient satisfaction, while the independent variables included age, education, gender, and financing method. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through path analysis. Results: The concept of service quality was represented by SERVQUAL indicators: reliability (b= 0.61; 95% CI= 0.46–0.76; p<0.001), assurance (b= 0.50; 95% CI= 0.35–0.64; p<0.001), tangibles (b= 0.67; 95% CI= 0.56–0.78; p<0.001), and responsiveness (b= 0.66; 95% CI= 0.46–0.76; p<0.001). Patient satisfaction showed a positive structural relationship with service quality (b= 0.31; 95% CI= 0.07–0.55; p= 0.012). The financing method also affected satisfaction, with insured (BPJS) patients reporting higher satisfaction than general patients (b= 0.15; 95% CI= 0.02–0.27; p= 0.015). Conclusion: Health service quality is defined by multiple SERVQUAL indicators, including reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. Patient satisfaction is positively associated with service quality and influenced by the financing method, indicating the importance of equitable and high-quality healthcare delivery

Abstract

Background: Effective anesthesia management is essential to ensure patient safety, minimize perioperative complications, and promote optimal recovery. Comprehensive planning across the pre-, intra-, and postoperative phases allows anesthesiologists to deliver systematic and high-quality care. Evaluating each component of anesthesia services context, input, process, product, and outcome is crucial for maintaining professional standards and improving patient satisfaction. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate anesthesia care arrangements (pre-, intra-, and postoperative) at the Central Surgical Installation of dr. Soepraoen Kesdam V/Brawijaya Malang Hospital using the CIPP evaluation model. Subjects and Method: This qualitative evaluative study was conducted from June 1 to July 1, 2024, employing the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) framework. Five anesthesiologists were selected through probability sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, document reviews, and Focus Group Discussions, and analyzed through data reduction, classifica­tion, and interpretation. Results: Evaluation of the context and input components showed that anesthesia services complied with professional standards and ASKAN guidelines, supported by adequate human resources, infrastructure, and standard operating procedures. The process component including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, evaluation, and documentation was implemented adequately but not fully aligned with the ASKAN guidelines. Product evaluation indicated satisfactory documentation quality with partial conformity to the 2023 ASKAN edition. The outcome showed stable patient hemodynamics and high satisfaction levels. Conclusion: Context and input components were well-implemented, while process and product evaluations were adequate but require improved documentation to align with the latest ASKAN standards.

Abstract

Background: Motivation, leadership, career development, and rewards or incentives are important determinants of job satisfaction and performance among healthcare workers at Community Health Centers (CHCs). This study aimed to analyze and estimate the association between motivation, leadership, career development, rewards/incentives, job satisfaction, and the performance of healthcare workers. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study involving 200 healthcare workers from CHCs in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, conducted from October to November 2024. Samples were selected using accidental sampling. The dependent variable was health worker performance, the mediating variable was job satisfaction, and the independent variables were motivation, leadership, career development, and rewards/incentives. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis. Results: Healthcare workers with high motivation were more likely to perform well than those with low motivation (b=0.31; CI 95%=0.18 to 0.45; p<0.001). Healthcare workers with high job satisfaction were more likely to perform well than those with low job satisfaction (b=0.43; CI 95%=0.30 to 0.46; p<0.001). Healthcare workers with high job satisfaction were more likely to be well motivated than those with low job satisfaction (b=0.21; CI 95%=0.13 to 0.29; p<0.001). Health workers who had a positive perception of leadership were more likely to be satisfied with their work than with a negative perception (b=0.74; CI 95%=0.68 to 0.80; p<0.001). Conclusion: The performance of healthcare workers in CHCs was directly affected by motivation and job satisfaction. Higher motivation and job satisfaction were associated with improved health worker performance.

Abstract

Background: The quality of communication interaction between pharmacy staff and patients is a critical component of healthcare service delivery. Effective communication enhances patient understanding, comfort, and trust, which ultimately influence patient satisfaction. A preliminary assessment at ‘Aisyiyah Bojonegoro Hospital indicated varying levels of patient satisfaction with pharmaceutical services, suggesting potential gaps in communication quality and service performance. Subjects and Method: This study aimed to analyze the association between the quality of communication interaction among pharmacy staff and outpatient satisfaction at ‘Aisyiyah Bojonegoro Hospital. An analytical quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total of 377 outpatients were selected as the sample. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Spearman rho correlation and multiple logistic regression. Results: Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between communication interaction quality and patient satisfaction (p < 0.001; r = 0.514), indicating a moderate to strong positive correlation. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that communication quality remained a significant predictor of patient satisfaction (OR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.39–0.96; p = 0.033), while other variables such as age, education level, gender, and marital status were not statistically significant. Conclusion: There is a significant association between the quality of communication interaction of pharmacy staff and outpatient satisfaction. Communication quality is a key determinant of patient satisfaction. Therefore, improving interpersonal communication skills through training and continuous evaluation is essential to enhance service quality.
