Abstract

Background: The Indonesian Medical Competency Standards (SKDI) are the educational standards for doctors in Indonesia. To prove that students have met the competency requirements, a competency test is necessary. Research results show that CBT of Public Health questions fall into the moderate-difficult category. This means that institutions must have a specific strategy to guide students. Subjects and Method: This qualitative study conducted in-depth interviews with Indonesian medical students who had passed or failed the Indonesian Medical Competency Test. The interviews were conducted online using Zoom. Informants were selected from various regions in Indonesia. Results: The study identified five themes. The five themes are: 1) varying perceptions of the difficulty level of public health questions, 2) lack of focus, 3) question patterns and reference books, 4) sources and methods of learning for the public health question, and 5) examinees' expectations. Conclusion: Students' perceptions of the difficulty level vary. This is also related to the students' own preparedness. Students have specific expectations regarding certain questions, such as those related to Indonesian national health insurance (BPJS), epidemiology, and others

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.
