Abstract

Hospital accreditation is globally recognized as a strategic framework for standardizing healthcare quality. However, the long-term efficacy of accreditation in sustaining Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices and reducing Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) remains fiercely debated. Most existing literature relies on cross-sectional data, failing to capture the temporal stability of post-accreditation outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. We analyzed longitudinal, interrupted time-series, and pre-and-post research articles evaluating IPC compliance and HAI incidence before, during, and after accreditation cycles. Data extraction focused on sample sizes, means, and standard deviations to calculate the Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) using a DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed via the I-squared statistic. Eight longitudinal studies encompassing varying international healthcare contexts were included. The pooled meta-analysis demonstrated a statistically significant, moderate improvement in IPC outcomes post-accreditation, with an overall SMD of 0.52 (95 percent Confidence Interval: 0.38 to 0.66, p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses revealed that structural IPC compliance measures showed higher effect sizes (SMD = 0.58) compared to direct clinical outcomes like HAI incidence density reductions (SMD = 0.42). Moderate heterogeneity was observed (I-squared = 54 percent). In conclusion, hospital accreditation acts as a significant catalyst for improving IPC metrics over time. The moderate effect size on direct clinical outcomes suggests that accreditation provides a structural foundation that must be coupled with continuous quality improvement and strong institutional leadership to prevent post-survey decay.

Abstract

The historical bifurcation of dental and medical care pathways imposes a severe epidemiological burden, particularly within transitional health systems confronting a high prevalence of both non-communicable diseases and chronic periodontitis. Bridging this gap requires robust policy frameworks that extend beyond clinical interventions to involve cross-sectoral collaboration. To evaluate the structural efficacy, clinical outcomes, and policy implications of integrating oral-systemic healthcare using a Pentahelix collaborative model between primary healthcare centers and academic dentistry institutions in South Sumatra, Indonesia. A mixed-methods implementation study was conducted over eighteen months across twelve primary care centers in South Sumatra. The intervention utilized the Pentahelix model, integrating government authorities, academic dentistry faculties, health technology industries, community leaders, and local media. Quantitative data included inter-departmental referral completion rates, changes in patient glycemic control (HbA1c), and systemic inflammatory markers (C-Reactive Protein). Qualitative data assessed stakeholder engagement and interprofessional competencies. Implementation of the Pentahelix framework significantly improved medical-dental cross-referral completion rates from a baseline of twelve percent to seventy-six percent. Clinically, patients with comorbid type 2 diabetes and severe periodontitis receiving integrated care demonstrated a mean HbA1c reduction of 0.9% and a significant decrease in serum C-Reactive Protein levels following combined medical and non-surgical periodontal therapy. Furthermore, interprofessional competency scores among participating academic students and primary care staff increased significantly. In conclusion, the Pentahelix model provides a viable, highly effective policy framework for dismantling clinical silos in transitional health systems. By anchoring interprofessional clinical practice within a multi-stakeholder governance structure, health systems can achieve measurable improvements in both population health metrics and health workforce readiness.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia management relies heavily on synthetic xanthine oxidase inhibitors, which possess adverse effect risks. This pilot trial evaluates the short-term clinical effects of a standardized Syzygium polyanthum (Indonesian bay leaf) tea infusion on serum uric acid levels in a primary care setting, standardizing conventional preparation methods. A quasi-experimental, pre- and post-test controlled pilot trial was conducted at a community health center on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Twenty-four adults with hyperuricemia were purposively assigned (alternating days of presentation) to an intervention group (n=12) or a control group (n=12). The intervention comprised 2.0 grams of standardized S. polyanthum tea infused at 80 degrees Celsius for 1 to 3 minutes, consumed twice daily for seven days. Both groups underwent monitored dietary purine restriction. Serum uric acid was evaluated via capillary analysis. The intervention cohort exhibited a statistically significant reduction in median serum uric acid from 8.1 mg/dL (Interquartile Range [IQR]: 7.4–8.9) to 6.9 mg/dL (IQR: 6.2–7.5) (p=0.034). The control group showed no significant alteration (median 8.0 mg/dL to 7.9 mg/dL; p=0.299). Intervention compliance was 95.4%, with no adverse gastrointestinal events reported. In conclusion, standardized S. polyanthum tea infusion significantly reduces serum uric acid over seven days, presenting a culturally syntonic and safe complementary intervention for primary healthcare frameworks, though extended treatment may be required to reach optimal clinical targets below 6.0 mg/dL.

Abstract

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) represents a growing public health concern among adolescents worldwide, with prevalence rates reaching 44.8% in Asian populations. Spirituality and religiosity have been proposed as protective factors against self-injurious behaviours; however, the quantitative evidence for this association has not been systematically synthesised with rigorous methodological standards. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between spirituality/religiosity and self-injurious behaviours in adolescents and young adults, and to clarify distinctions between NSSI and suicidal behaviour. A systematic search of multiple databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science) was conducted using predefined search terms related to spirituality, religiosity, religion, self-injury, self-harm, NSSI, and adolescent populations. Original research articles reporting quantitative data on the association between spirituality/religiosity and self-injurious behaviours were included. Ten studies met inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis, of which six provided sufficient quantitative data for meta-analysis. Effect sizes were converted to standardised mean differences (Hedges' g) and pooled using a random-effects model (DerSimonian-Laird). Risk of bias was assessed using an adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Prediction intervals (PI) were calculated alongside 95% confidence intervals (CI). The pooled standardised mean difference was −0.67 (95% CI: −1.12 to −0.21; 95% PI: −2.18 to 0.85; p = 0.004), indicating a protective effect of spirituality/religiosity against self-harm. Substantial heterogeneity was observed (I² = 96%; τ² = 0.30), reflecting variability in study designs, populations, outcome measures, and religiosity constructs. Sensitivity analyses confirmed directional consistency of findings, though studies differ considerably in effect magnitude. Subgroup analyses identified potential differences by study design (cross-sectional vs. longitudinal) and geographic region, though these require cautious interpretation given limited sample numbers (k = 6). Meta-regression was limited by small sample size and collinearity between study characteristics. In conclusion, spirituality and religiosity demonstrated a protective association with reduced self-injurious behaviours among adolescents and young adults. However, the substantial heterogeneity, predominantly observational evidence base, concentration in Western populations, and inability to distinguish NSSI from suicidal behaviour in all studies necessitate cautious interpretation. These findings support further investigation of spiritual assessment in adolescent mental health, though clinical implications must be tempered by methodological limitations. Well-designed prospective studies examining cultural context, mechanisms of action, and distinctions between NSSI phenotypes are required.

Abstract

Hospital financial resilience during crises requires adaptive leadership—the capacity to diagnose complex system challenges and mobilise sustained organisational change. Systematic evidence on adaptive leadership effectiveness in hospital crisis management remains fragmented. Objectives: To synthesise quantitative evidence on the effectiveness of adaptive leadership interventions for improving hospital organisational performance during financial and operational disruptions. Systematic review with meta-analysis using the PRISMA 2020 framework. We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect from 2017–2026 for studies examining adaptive leadership or resilience outcomes in hospital settings during financial or operational crises. Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). We estimated effect sizes (Hedges g) from 6 of 7 studies with estimated correlation coefficients (inter-rater reliability ICC=0.85), converted via d = 2r/√(1−r²). Random-effects meta-analysis used DerSimonian-Laird estimator. Certainty of evidence assessed via GRADE. Seven studies (k=7) contributed to meta-analysis; 10 to systematic review. Pooled standardised mean difference (SMD) = 0.467 (95% CI: 0.305–0.628, p<0.0001); I²=0% (Q=1.01, p=0.985). Effect remained robust in sensitivity analyses (leave-one-out: 0.445–0.493). Heterogeneity by study design minimal (Review k=3 SMD=0.476; Empirical k=2 SMD=0.438). GRADE assessment: moderate certainty (downgraded for indirectness and effect size estimation). In conclusion, adaptive leadership interventions show small-to-moderate evidence-supported effect on hospital organisational performance during crises. This effect persists across study designs and contexts despite methodological heterogeneity. This meta-analysis provides initial quantitative synthesis to guide hospital policy-makers and clinical leaders in crisis management strategy selection.

Abstract

Community pharmacies are the most accessible health facility in Indonesia and a central interface of the BPJS Kesehatan Program Rujuk Balik (PRB) for chronic disease pharmaceutical care, yet empirical evidence on patient safety culture in this setting remains sparse. This sequential exploratory mixed-methods study characterised the twelve-dimension patient safety culture profile, quantified the cognition-to-practice gap, and identified actionable system priorities. Three sequential phases were conducted between July 2024 and February 2025: a cross-sectional Community Pharmacy Survey on Patient Safety Culture (CPSOPSC) among 35 pharmacy staff (Cronbach’s α=0.84), an expanded indicator survey of 43 staff, and semi-structured interviews with three pharmacists practising in PRB-contracted pharmacies. Highest positive responses occurred on teamwork (97.1%, 95% CI 95.0–99.2), organisational learning (87.6%, 95% CI 84.0–91.2), physical space (84.8%, 95% CI 80.9–88.7) and staff training (84.3%, 95% CI 80.5–88.1); lowest on documentation of errors (23.8%, 95% CI 19.3–28.3), staffing and workload (52.1%, 95% CI 47.0–57.2) and patient counselling (54.3%, 95% CI 49.2–59.4). Firth-penalised logistic regression with cluster-robust variance (area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve [AUC]=0.78, 95% CI 0.71–0.85) identified prescription volume (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.12, 95% CI 1.78–5.47, p=0.001) and independent ownership (aOR 2.41, 95% CI 1.32–4.40, p=0.004) as dominant correlates of low-documentation outcome. The expectation–experience indicator gap was 21.2 percentage points (95% CI 17.4–25.0, p<0.001, Cohen’s d=1.42). Eight qualitative themes triangulated with quantitative dimensions confirmed documentation infrastructure, workforce capacity, and counselling time as priority structural levers. Findings support extending BPJS PRB credentialing to include patient-safety indicators, advancing Sustainable Development Goals 3.8, 3.d, 4.4, 10.3 and 17.18.

Abstract

Measles remains a highly transmissible vaccine-preventable disease and a sensitive marker of immunization-system performance, with global elimination stalling as coverage falls below the 95% herd-immunity threshold; sub-optimal parental health literacy and incomplete immunization sustain community transmission in Indonesia. This study aimed to quantify parental knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) toward measles prevention, determine immunization completeness and its determinants, and evaluate a community health-education intervention. A cross-sectional community-diagnosis study with a single-group pre-/post-test design was conducted among 30 parents/guardians of children aged 0-59 months to primary-school age in a primary health center catchment area in Banten Province, Indonesia. Data were collected with a validated KAP questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha 0.76-0.83) and immunization-record screening; analyses included Wilson confidence intervals, McNemar tests, logistic regression and effect sizes. Baseline knowledge was low in 66.7% of respondents (95% CI 48.8-80.8), and measles-immunization completeness was 80.0% (95% CI 62.7-90.5), below the elimination target. Low parental knowledge showed the strongest, though non-significant, association with incomplete immunization (OR 3.00, 95% CI 0.30-29.94; adjusted OR 10.06, 95% CI 0.75-135.58, p=0.082). After health education, the proportion of respondents scoring >=70 rose from 10.0% to 93.3% (McNemar p<0.001; Cohen's h=1.98), and mean knowledge improved from 51.5 to 84.6 (Cohen's d_z=2.24). Community health education substantially improved measles-prevention literacy, while a residual immunization gap persisted. Strengthening parental education and immunization monitoring at the primary-care level supports measles control and advances SDG 3 and SDG 10.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) remains a persistent public health problem in low- and middle-income countries and a major determinant of neonatal morbidity and mortality, yet community-level evidence linking maternal nutritional status to LBW in rural eastern Indonesia is limited. This study analysed the association between maternal nutritional status, assessed by mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and the incidence of LBW at the Makale Community Health Center (Puskesmas), Tana Toraja Regency, Indonesia. An observational analytic cross-sectional design was applied to the antenatal and delivery records of 192 mothers who gave birth to singletons between January and December 2025, selected by purposive sampling. Chronic energy deficiency (CED) was defined as MUAC <23.5 cm and LBW as birth weight <2500 g. Data were analysed using the chi-square test, Fisher exact test, prevalence ratios (PR), and multivariable logistic regression with adjustment for maternal age and parity. The overall LBW prevalence was 13.02% (95% CI 8.98-18.52). LBW occurred in 57.14% (95% CI 42.21-70.88) of mothers with CED versus 0.67% (95% CI 0.12-3.68) of well-nourished mothers (PR 85.71, 95% CI 11.94-615.21; chi-square=92.41; Fisher p<0.001; Cramer V=0.694). After adjustment, low MUAC remained the dominant independent predictor of LBW (adjusted OR 205.71, 95% CI 25.22-1677.98; p<0.001; Nagelkerke R-squared=0.673), with an estimated population attributable risk of 94.9%. Strengthening maternal nutrition surveillance and targeted antenatal interventions at the primary-care level could substantially reduce LBW, supporting Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 3.

Abstract

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is central to protecting healthcare workers from occupational infection, yet the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the high cost, supply fragility and waste burden of single-use PPE, generating interest in reusable systems whose value depends on economic efficiency and material durability. Validated instruments capturing the end-user perspective on these dimensions are scarce. This study developed and evaluated the psychometric properties of a ten-item, healthcare-worker–reported instrument measuring the cost efficiency and material durability of reusable PPE. An analytical cross-sectional, COSMIN-guided instrument-validation study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia (March–July 2025) and reported per STROBE. Thirty healthcare workers recruited by consecutive sampling each rated conventional disposable Level-3 PPE and a reusable alternative, yielding 60 paired assessments on five-point Likert items. Construct (known-groups) validity used Spearman correlations with 95% confidence intervals; structural validity used exploratory factor analysis with Horn parallel analysis; convergent validity used Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Composite Reliability (CR); internal consistency used Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega with a bootstrap CI. All items discriminated PPE type (Spearman rho -0.383 to -0.556, all p<0.05). Sampling adequacy was excellent (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin=0.897; Bartlett p<0.001), and a single factor explained 57.1% of variance, corroborated by parallel analysis. Factor loadings ranged 0.642-0.820; AVE was 0.525 and CR 0.917. Internal consistency was excellent (alpha=0.916; omega=0.917; bootstrap 95% CI 0.869-0.943), with a standard error of measurement of 1.8 scale points and no floor effects. The instrument is valid, reliable and unidimensional, supporting value-based PPE procurement, infection-prevention monitoring and sustainable-healthcare policy in Indonesian hospitals.
