Abstract

Background: Indonesian migrant workers' children in Malaysia face restricted access to formal schooling and reproductive-health (SRH) information. Objective: To design and implement a community-based SRH programme that builds children's self-efficacy using an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach supported by educational gaming. Methods: A community programme at El Shaddai Learning Centre (Kuala Lumpur) engaged 30 children (7-14 years). The ABCD cycle (discover-dream-design-deliver) informed asset mapping, shared visioning, co-designed content, and delivery/evaluation. The intervention comprised age-appropriate interactive talks and a cause-and-effect “snakes-and-ladders” board game. Formative and summative assessments (structured observation, brief oral quizzes) captured SRH understanding and early self-efficacy indicators. Results: Relative to baseline, participants demonstrated improved ability to define SRH, identify age-appropriate protective behaviours, and articulate consequences of risky choices. Early self-efficacy signals (e.g., refusal of unsafe invitations; concrete steps to maintain personal boundaries) were evident during group work and gameplay. Conclusions: An ABCD-anchored, game-supported format is feasible and acceptable in migrant settings. Sustainability should leverage peer-education, youth-friendly referrals, and light process indicators for ongoing monitoring.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze gender-based political communication and the fulfillment of women’s rights from the perspective of political philosophy and ethics, particularly in the context of revising Indonesia’s Election Law. The main focus of this research is to understand how women’s social positions, lived experiences, experiential knowledge, and power relations influence political communication processes and public policy formulation within a democratic system. This research employs a qualitative library research method by examining books, academic journals, laws and regulations, and scholarly works relevant to gender issues, political communication, democracy, and political ethics. The findings indicate that gender-based political communication is a crucial normative and ethical instrument for realizing substantive, just, and inclusive democracy. Based on Standpoint Theory analysis, women, as a structurally less dominant group, possess unique perspectives derived from their social and political experiences; however, these perspectives are often marginalized in legislative and decision-making processes. This study emphasizes that affirmative policies, such as women’s representation quotas in the revision of the Election Law, are not merely legal-formal mechanisms but also represent moral recognition of women’s lived experiences and corrective efforts to address power imbalances, thereby contributing to the strengthening of justice principles, gender equality, and respect for human rights in Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the strategy for strengthening hospital risk management through the implementation of Clinical Risk Management (CRM) at Murni Teguh Memorial Hospital (MTMH). The research utilized a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews involving eight key informants from hospital management and clinical units. The findings reveal that while clinical risk identification and analysis are systematically conducted using incident reporting, clinical audits, and analytical tools like RCA and FMEA, operational challenges such as underreporting and high staff workloads remain. To address these issues, this study identified a five-pillar integrated CRM reinforcement model combining top-down and bottom-up approaches: leadership and risk governance, integrated CRM processes, human resource competency enhancement, a non-punitive safety culture, and continuous monitoring and evaluation. The implementation of this strategy has significantly improved the incident reporting culture, interprofessional coordination, and staff risk awareness. This demonstrates that strong top management commitment is crucial for sustaining patient safety improvements.

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a significant global health challenge, particularly among the elderly population, who are at high risk of exacerbations and have limited mobility. Home care services have emerged as an innovative strategy to improve the accessibility and sustainability of care outside of hospital settings. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a home care program on the quality of life and medication adherence of elderly patients with COPD at RSAL Dr. Komang Makes Belawan. This study employed a mixed-methods design with a sequential explanatory approach. The quantitative phase involved 35 respondents selected via a total sampling approach. The instruments used included the VQ11 questionnaire to measure quality of life and the MMRC scale to assess dyspnea severity. The qualitative phase was conducted through in-depth interviews with patients, families, and healthcare providers to explore subjective experiences during the intervention. Data analysis integrated inferential statistical tests and thematic analysis to obtain a comprehensive understanding. Findings demonstrated significant clinical improvement, with patients’ dyspnea levels decreasing from an average MMRC Grade 3 to Grade 1 post-intervention. Quality of life scores (VQ11) improved from the moderate/severe category to the good/very good category. Additionally, the frequency of monthly exacerbations decreased drastically, from an average of 3 to 1. Qualitative data reinforced these findings by identifying three main themes: increased psychological safety, professionalism in healthcare services, and strengthening the family’s role in monitoring treatment adherence. The home-based care program proved effective in improving the quality of life and treatment adherence among elderly COPD patients. This success was driven by integrating routine clinical monitoring at home and empowering families as the primary support system. This study recommends home-based care as a standard model in the management of long-term chronic diseases to optimize patient health outcomes and healthcare system efficiency.

Abstract

Oral health remains a significant global challenge, with tooth extraction being a primary curative solution in primary care. Despite its availability, the utilisation of these services at Community Health Centres (Puskesmas) is influenced by various multifaceted factors. This study aims to analyse factors associated with the utilisation of tooth extraction services at the Rengas Pulau Community Health Centre, Medan. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. The quantitative phase involved 110 adult patients selected via purposive random sampling, while the qualitative phase included 5 key informants for in-depth interviews. Data were analysed using Chi-Square tests, Multiple Logistic Regression, and thematic analysis.  Quantitative findings revealed that income (p=0.000; r=0.464), facilities and infrastructure (p=0.000; r=0.625), accessibility (p=0.000; r=0.648), and service quality (p=0.000; r=0.643) were significantly associated with service utilisation. Conversely, gender (p=0.115) and occupation (p=0.023) showed no significant relationship. Qualitative data reinforced these findings, highlighting that low-income patients utilised services more due to the National Health Insurance (BPJS), and perceived facility modernity significantly reduced dental anxiety.  Socio-structural factors (enabling and need factors) are more predictive of tooth extraction utilisation than predisposing demographic characteristics. Strengthening infrastructure and maintaining service excellence are critical to optimising primary oral healthcare.

Abstract

The hospital industry faces intense competition and rapid technological changes. Military-affiliated hospitals, such as Putri Hijau Type II Hospital in Medan, must balance their dual role of serving both military personnel and the general public under the national health insurance scheme while maintaining a competitive edge. This study aims to analyse the strategic position of Putri Hijau Type II Hospital and formulate service development strategies using a SWOT-based analytical approach. A mixed-methods case study design was employed. Data were collected through interviews with management, field observations, and structured questionnaires. Analysis was conducted using Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE), External Factor Evaluation (EFE), and the Internal-External (IE) Matrix. The research findings indicate that the hospital holds a strong internal position (IFE score: 2.86) and adequate external responsiveness (EFE score: 2.51). Positioned in Quadrant I (Grow and Build), the institution is recommended to pursue an aggressive strategy. Key strengths include clinical professionalism and military discipline, while primary weaknesses involve infrastructure constraints and service wait times. To maintain market dominance, the hospital must prioritise digital transformation and infrastructure modernisation to synergise its humanistic care with operational efficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in improving outpatient registration services at a primary health center in Indonesia. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document review involving ten informants, including health center management, registration and medical record officers, and outpatient service users. Data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model to identify factors supporting and hindering SOP implementation. The findings indicate that outpatient registration SOPs have been implemented systematically, with successful implementation influenced by staff competence, understanding of procedures, and active patient participation. Several challenges, such as limited patient compliance and technical disruptions, were identified; however, these barriers were effectively addressed through direct patient education, regular SOP socialization, continuous monitoring and evaluation, and open communication among staff. These efforts contributed to improved service flow and enhanced service quality in outpatient registration. Strengthening SOP dissemination, improving staff capacity, and reinforcing patient education are recommended as policy strategies to ensure sustainable improvements in outpatient registration services at primary healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, contributing to high neonatal mortality rates. This study aims to analyze the influence of tenure, supervision, compensation, and training on midwives’ performance in efforts to reduce the risk of LBW at Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in Nias Regency. This study employed a cross-sectional design with an analytical approach. A total of 281 active midwives at Community Health Centers in Nias Regency were selected as the study sample through a questionnaire survey conducted from July to August 2025. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and logistic regression to determine the most dominant factors. The results indicate that length of service, supervision, compensation, and training have a significant influence on midwives’ performance (p < 0.05). Among these four variables, compensation was identified as the most dominant factor influencing midwives’ performance in managing the risk of LBW. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening reward systems and managerial support to optimize the role of midwives on the front lines of maternal and child health care.

Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health is a critical public health issue, especially in conservative Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) where cultural and religious norms often restrict open discussion. Data from the WHO and the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) indicate high rates of unintended pregnancy and a significant knowledge gap among female students regarding menstruation, STIs, and self-protection. At Madrasah Ulumul Quran Bustanul Ulum Langsa, Aceh, the absence of an integrated reproductive health curriculum has resulted in inadequate student knowledge. This community service project aimed to enhance santri (students') understanding of reproductive health and empower them as peer educators to disseminate information, reduce stigma, and strengthen the pesantren's role. A key objective was to create safe spaces for dialogue and improve girls' communication skills on reproductive issues. The program employed the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) methodology, commencing with appreciative inquiry and asset mapping, followed by peer educator training, simulations, and pretest-posttest monitoring and evaluation. It involved 30 female santri selected via total sampling. Data were analyzed using a Dependent t-Test with JASP 16 software. The implemented strategy featured active engagement of students, caregivers, and educators, the development of digital and print educational media, and cross-sectoral collaboration. Santri were trained to convey materials in a contextual and culturally appropriate manner. Results indicated a highly significant improvement in attitudes (p < .001) post-intervention, while knowledge levels, already high at baseline, remained stable. The program's implications include fostering a more open pesantren environment for reproductive health education, strengthening santri capacity as change agents, and nurturing a generation that is health-conscious, responsible, and resilient.

Abstract

Effective hospital care is determined not only by clinical factors but also by the efficiency of administrative processes that support the smooth flow of patient care. Administrative issues such as delays in the discharge process, incomplete medical records, and challenges with BPJS claims can impact the quality of care and the hospital’s efficiency. This study aims to analyze the role of Case Managers in improving the effectiveness of hospital services from an administrative perspective at Murni Teguh Hospital in Medan. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving eight informants, comprising Case Managers, RMD Coordinators, and the Head of Medical Records. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the findings. The results of the study indicate that Case Managers play a strategic role in controlling length of stay (LOS), coordinating with the attending physician (DPJP) and other healthcare personnel, ensuring the completeness of medical records, and facilitating the smooth processing of BPJS claims. In the administrative aspect, the Case Manager serves as a liaison between units to minimize barriers that arise in the service delivery process. Challenges faced include a high patient-to-staff ratio, time constraints, and interprofessional communication barriers. However, through effective communication, intensive coordination, and continuous monitoring, Case Managers contribute to expediting administrative processes, improving documentation completeness, and reducing the potential for pending or rejected claims. The conclusion of this study confirms that the role of the Case Manager contributes significantly to improving the effectiveness of hospital services from an administrative perspective. Optimizing the number of Case Managers and strengthening their functions is recommended as a strategy to improve the quality of hospital administrative management on an ongoing basis.
