Abstract

Background: The National Health Insurance Program (JKN) through BPJS Kesehatan is an initiative to equalize the quality of health services for all levels of society. Contributions are an essential factor in the success of a national social security system. The importance of paying BPJS contributions regularly is so that participants get adequate health service guarantees. The study aims to analyze the compliance of BPJS Mandiri participant contribution payments who are subject to inpatient service fines at Dr. Mohamad Saleh Probolinggo Regional Hospital. Subjects and Method: An observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted in the inpatient unit of Dr. Mohamad Saleh Hospital, Probolinggo, in May and June 2023. A total of 100 patients were selected for this study. The dependent variable was compliance. The independent variables were knowledge, income, number of family members, perception of illness, access to health services. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using factor analysis, t-test, f-test and multiple linear regression. Results: The regression coefficient of knowledge variable is 0.018, income is 0.823, number of family members is 0.375, perception of illness is -0.021, access to health services is -0.128. Compliance of contribution payments is influenced by income variable with sig 0.002, number of family members with sig (0.000) and access to health services with sig (0.007). Conclusion: Compliance in payment of BPJS Mandiri participants who are subject to inpatient service fines is influenced by income, number of family members, access to health services. The most dominant factor is income.

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: The performance of health workers is one of the biggest reasons for the good health services. Various factors affect employee performance such as commitment, employee status, justice and social capital. This study aims to see the influence of social capital along with other accompanying factors such as justice, organizational commitment, employee status, and strata of the Health Center on the performance of Health Center employees. Subjects and Method: This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted on 11 health centers in Metro City, Lampung, Indonesia in April - May 2024. A sample of 200 health center employees was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable in this study is the performance of health center employees. The independent variables in the study were social capital, fairness, organizational commitment, employee status, health center strata, age, and gender. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results: Social capital (b= 0.07; CI 95%= 0.06 to 0.14; p= 0.048), justice (b= 0.13; CI 95%= 0.06 to 0.20; p= <0.001), organizational commitment (b= 0.10; CI 95%= 0.02 to 0.17; p= 0.012), and the strata of the Health Center (b= 1.01; CI 95%= 0.62 to 1.41; p= <0.001) has an influence on improving performance and is statistically significant. Officer status (b= -0.28; CI 95%= -0.56 to -0.01; p= 0.038) had a degrading effect and was statistically significant. Age (b= -0.13; CI 95%= -0.39 to 0.11; p= 0.284) and gender (b= 0.06; CI 95%= -0.35 to 0.11; p= 0.750) has no significant effect on performance. Conclusion: The performance of health center employees is influenced by social capital, justice, organizational commitment, strata, and employee status. Age and gender are not factors that affect performance.

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.
