Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze global research trends on interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in patients undergoing haemodialysis and to map the intellectual structure, publication patterns, and emerging research themes within the field. Design/Methodology/Approach: A bibliometric analysis with a descriptive quantitative approach was conducted using the Scopus database. Bibliographic data were retrieved on 19 January 2026 using keywords related to “interdialytic weight gain” and “hemodialysis”. A total of 170 English-language journal articles published between 2016 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using the Bibliometrix package in RStudio and visualized using VOSviewer to examine publication performance, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution. Findings: The dataset comprised 170 articles published in 81 sources and authored by 1,049 researchers. The annual publication growth rate was 6.17%, with an average of 16.47 citations per document. Collaboration analysis revealed a high level of scientific cooperation, with an average of seven authors per article and an international co-authorship rate of 24.12%. Keyword co-occurrence and thematic mapping identified haemodialysis, interdialytic weight gain, and fluid management as the dominant research themes. Overlay and density visualizations indicated an increasing research interest in behavioral and psychosocial topics, including self-efficacy, adherence, and patient self-management. However, these themes remain less prominent than physiological and clinical research topics. Originality/Value: This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric overview of the global IDWG research landscape and highlights emerging thematic directions. The findings identify behavioral and psychosocial dimensions as developing but relatively underexplored areas, offering potential directions for future research in haemodialysis-related fluid management. Keywords: Bibliometric Analysis, Interdialytic Weight Gain, Haemodialysis, Self-Efficacy, Adherence to Fluid Restriction.

Abstract

The quality of primary health care services is greatly influenced by the performance of health workers. Service quality and organizational effectiveness are supported by good employee performance. However, employee performance can be affected by increasing workload and limited organizational resources. Only limited empirical evidence has been provided on the roles of motivational climate and career development in improving job performance among primary health care workers, especially in Indonesia. This study was conducted to examine the effects of motivational climate and career development on the job performance of health workers in community health centers. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed involving 350 health professionals from 18 community health centers in Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected by using structured questionnaires. After the classical assumption tests were completed, the data were analyzed by using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that both motivational climate and career development have positive and significant effects on job performance (p<0.001). Career development emerged as the strongest predictor (β=0.566), followed by motivational climate (β=0.279). It was found that 64.4% of the variance in job performance was explained by the regression model. Strong explanatory power was shown by the model. It is shown by these findings that stronger career development systems and a supportive motivational climate should be developed. These are considered important strategies for improving the performance of health workers in primary health care settings. Keywords: Motivational Climate, Career Development, Job Performance,  Primary Health Care, Workers

Abstract

Participation of women of reproductive age (WRA) in the family planning (FP) programme in Medan City is only 42.2%, far below the national contraceptive prevalence rate of 59.4%. Existing programmes have not been guided by a locally validated behavioural model.  To develop a behavioural model of FP participation among WRA using Lawrence Green’s PRECEDE–PROCEED framework.  An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2025 among 260 WRA attending 10 maternity clinics and 3 community health centres (puskesmas) in Medan City, selected by stratified random sampling with proportional allocation. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire measuring predisposing (education, knowledge, attitude, information-seeking behaviour, parity), enabling (income, access to health services, media exposure) and reinforcing (husband’s support, health-worker support) factors. Bivariate analysis used the chi-square test with prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI); variables with p < 0.25 entered a multiple logistic regression (forward stepwise Wald). Forty-two respondents (16.2%) did not participate in the FP programme. Eight of ten variables qualified for multivariable modelling. Four determinants remained significant in the final model: knowledge (AOR = 31.37; 95% CI 12.29–80.06), education (AOR = 17.66; 95% CI 8.03–38.85), husband’s support (AOR = 9.52; 95% CI 4.42–20.50) and income (AOR = 2.83; 95% CI 1.20–6.66). Knowledge was the dominant predictor. A woman with poor knowledge, low education, an unsupportive husband and low income had a predicted probability of non-participation of 99.8%, compared with 0.9% for a woman with none of these characteristics. FP participation in Medan is determined by the interaction of predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors. Interventions should combine contraceptive literacy education, couple-based counselling and economic empowerment of low-income households Keywords: Contraceptive Behaviour; Family Planning; Logistic Regression; PRECEDE–PROCEED Model; Women of Reproductive Age

Abstract

Hospitals are required to maintain service quality and patient safety through consistent adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Quality Control Circles (Gugus Kendali Mutu; GKM) serve as an internal quality control mechanism that supports quality planning, audit implementation, monitoring, coaching, and follow-up of audit findings. This study aimed to examine the association between the role of Quality Control Circles and nurses’ compliance with SOPs at Mitra Medika Tanjung Mulia Hospital. A quantitative descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from November 2025 to March 2026, involving 35 active members of the Quality Control Circles selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using Pearson Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact Test, and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression. The results showed that 65.7% of respondents perceived the role of Quality Control Circles as good, while 74.3% of nurses were categorized as compliant with SOPs. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between the role of Quality Control Circles and nurses’ SOP compliance (χ² = 10.171; p = 0.001; Fisher’s Exact Test = 0.003). Multivariate logistic regression showed that nurses who perceived the role of Quality Control Circles as good had higher odds of complying with SOPs, although the association was not statistically significant after controlling for age, gender, educational background, and years of service (AOR = 6.228; 95% CI = 0.247–157.196; p = 0.267). These findings indicate that Quality Control Circles are relevant to strengthening SOP compliance, but their role should be reinforced through continuous supervision, structured feedback, and integrated quality improvement strategies. Keyword: Quality Control Circles; nurses’ compliance; Standard Operating Procedures; hospital quality management; patient safety
