Abstract

Human resources (HR) is a key factor in organizational success, including that of private hospitals. Kasih Ibu General Hospital in Denpasar faces high healthcare worker turnover and low BOR (68%), necessitating effective HR management. Factors such as leadership style, compensation, work motivation, job satisfaction, work culture, and work environment are suspected to influence employee performance and loyalty. This study aims to analyze Factors Influencing Employee Performance and Loyalty at Kasih Hospital, Denpasar. This study used a correlational approach with a cross-sectional design. The population included 125 employees, all of whom were sampled. Data were collected through a valid and reliable five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The independent variables included compensation, work motivation, leadership style, job satisfaction, and work culture. The moderating variable was the work environment, and the dependent variables were employee performance and healthcare worker loyalty. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) using SPSS. Compensation, work motivation, leadership style, job satisfaction, and work culture significantly influenced performance. Loyalty, compensation, leadership style, and work culture were found to be significant, while work motivation and job satisfaction were not. The work environment strengthens the relationship between job satisfaction and loyalty, but not the relationship between leadership style and performance. The most significant factor influencing performance is leadership style, while work culture is the primary factor affecting loyalty. Leadership, compensation, work motivation, job satisfaction, and work culture all play a role in enhancing employee performance. Additionally, healthcare worker loyalty is influenced by compensation, leadership, and work culture.

Abstract

Patient safety is a priority for healthcare services because it can lead to serious public health issues. Incident reporting is crucial for enhancing patient safety. This study aims to analyze the determinants of patient safety incident reporting compliance using the Theory of Planned Behavior. This study employed a cross-sectional design, with the population consisting of medical and nursing staff, involving 116 participants selected using a simple random sampling technique. The analysis in this study used Logistic regression analysis. The study found that health professionals reported high levels of bullying (56.9%), poor patient safety culture (75.0%), low protection motivation (53.4%), and non-compliance in reporting patient safety incidents (55.2%). Logistic regression analysis, which had the potential to comply with incident reporting, showed low bullying (aOR: 1.8; 95% CI: 0.69-4.81), good patient safety culture (aOR: 2.9; 95% CI: 0.93-9.25), and high protection motivation (aOR: 1.91; 95% CI: 0.86-4.25). The importance of analyzing the factors that influence compliance in reporting patient safety incidents is based on the theory of planned behavior, which suggests that low workplace bullying, a good patient safety culture, and high protection motivation are the primary determinants of compliance in reporting patient safety incidents.

Abstract

Acute pain is a common problem experienced by patients after cesarean section, especially in cases with transverse fetal position that often require complex surgery. Effective and safe pain management is critical to improve the comfort and recovery of mothers. Nonpharmacological approaches such as Swedish massage are still underexplored in postpartum pain management but offer holistic therapeutic benefits. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Swedish massage in reducing acute pain after cesarean section with transverse indication. A case study design was employed, involving a single participant. Swedish massage was administered for 15 minutes per session using five techniques (effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, vibration). Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Results showed a decrease in pain from NRS 6 to NRS 3 after three sessions, indicating a 50% reduction in pain. Swedish massage has been shown to have positive effects by promoting relaxation and stimulating the release of endorphins, thereby reducing pain perception. These findings suggest that Swedish massage can be considered a safe, cost-effective, and nonpharmacological nursing intervention for post-cesarean section patients. Further research with a larger sample size is recommended to confirm its effectiveness and strengthen generalizability.

Abstract

The working conditions of healthcare workers in Indonesia, especially in state hospitals, remain unsatisfactory. One factor that influences this is the low reward system in state hospitals compared to private hospitals. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the reward system (incentives, promotions, and career development) on improving the performance of nurses. The design of this research is quantitative, employing a cross-sectional approach, with the population in this study comprising all 150 nurses at UPTD RSUD Bobong. The sample consisted of a portion of the population that met the inclusion criteria, comprising 112 people selected using a simple random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using Spearman's rho statistical test and ordinal logistic regression analysis with an α error rate of 0.05. The results of the analysis using the ordinal regression test yielded a significant result. (2-tailed) values ​​for the incentive factor (p-value = 0.012 < 0.05), promotion factor (p-value = 0.023 < 0.05) and career development factor (p-value = 0.019 < 0.05). The research shows that incentive, promotion, and career resulted in harm er development factors in implementing the reward system influence the performance of nurses at Bobong Hospital, Taliabu Island Regency. The incentives factor is the most dominant in the reward system, which influences nurse performance.

Abstract

Sleep disturbances are common among pregnant women, especially in the third trimester, but effective non-pharmacological interventions are still limited. This study aims to analyze the effect of endorphin massage on the sleep quality of pregnant women aged 37–40 weeks. The study design used a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest without a control group. A total of 30 respondents were selected through total sampling. Endorphin massage was administered twice, with each session lasting 15–20 minutes. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The results showed a change in the PSQI score from a pretest average of 9.3 to 7.8 on the posttest; however, the McNemar test produced a p-value of 1.00 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no statistically significant effect. Clinically, endorphin massage has the potential to enhance sleep quality through its relaxation and endorphin release mechanisms. This study concludes that although not statistically significant, endorphin massage may be considered as a supportive therapy to enhance sleep comfort in pregnant women. Limitations of this study include a small sample size and the absence of a control group; thus, further research with a stronger design is needed.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in the eastern provinces such as West Papua, where environmental and infrastructural limitations exacerbate child health disparities. Environmental health factors—such as water quality, sanitation, and hygiene behaviors—are recognized as crucial yet underexplored determinants of stunting. This study aimed to investigate the role of environmental health conditions and community practices in contributing to stunting among children under five in the working area of Degen Public Health Center, Teluk Patipi District, Fakfak Regency, West Papua Province. A qualitative descriptive design was employed to capture the lived experiences and perceptions of mothers, health cadres, and local health officers. Data were collected from January to March 2025 through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and a brief descriptive survey involving 66 mothers of children under the age of five. Thematic content analysis was conducted following Braun and Clarke's framework, supported by descriptive statistics to summarize demographic and stunting-related characteristics. The findings revealed four major themes influencing stunting: (1) limited access to safe water and proper sanitation facilities; (2) inadequate household waste management; (3) poor hygiene behaviors influenced by cultural practices and limited awareness; and (4) insufficient community-based health education. Quantitative data indicated that more than half of the children exhibited stunted growth, primarily in households lacking access to clean water and sanitary latrines. Environmental health factors significantly contribute to the persistence of stunting in rural Papua settings. Strengthening water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, along with culturally tailored community health education, is essential for reducing stunting prevalence and improving child health outcomes.

Abstract

The use of injectable contraceptives remains the leading choice among women of reproductive age (WRA) in various regions in Indonesia. The number of injectable family planning (FP) acceptors has increased significantly compared to other contraceptive methods. This study aims to describe and analyze the factors influencing the high number of injectable contraceptive acceptors. This research employed a descriptive, cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all active injectable contraceptive acceptors (35 respondents), selected using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distribution. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge about injectable contraceptives (60.0%), a positive attitude toward their use (68.6%), received spousal support (74.3%), perceived the role of health workers as good (80.0%), and stated that access to services was easily reachable (82.9%). These factors collectively contributed to the high interest and continued use of injectable contraceptives in the study area. These findings underscore the importance of involving husbands and ensuring that midwifery services are supportive and accessible to sustain family planning programs in rural settings.

Abstract

Maternal anxiety during labor is a common issue that can negatively affect the birthing process and maternal well-being. Rose aromatherapy effectively relaxes the muscles and mind, helping to loosen the uterine muscles and reduce the intensity of pain. This study aimed to determine the effect of rose aromatherapy on anxiety levels during the active phase of the first stage of labor. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed, involving 30 respondents who were divided equally into an intervention group and a control group. The research was conducted at Gurah and Sambi Community Health Centers from March to June 2023. Anxiety levels were measured using the DASS-21 scale, and data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that before the intervention, most respondents in the intervention group experienced moderate anxiety, while all respondents in the control group experienced severe anxiety. After administering rose aromatherapy, there was a significant reduction in anxiety levels among respondents in the intervention group compared to the control group (p-value = 0.000). These findings indicate that rose aromatherapy effectively reduces anxiety during the active phase of labor. It functions as a non-pharmacological method that stimulates the limbic system, promoting relaxation and a sense of comfort. The study concludes that rose aromatherapy can be recommended as a complementary intervention for mothers in labor to help manage anxiety. It also serves as a valuable reference for educational institutions, researchers, and healthcare professionals in developing evidence-based practices for maternal care.

Abstract

Mother–infant bonding is a fundamental component of early emotional development and has long-term effects on infants’ behavioral, psychological, and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Infant massage is widely recognized as a complementary intervention that promotes parent–child interaction, facilitates emotional closeness, and enhances touch-mediated communication between mothers and infants. This study aims to investigate the effect of infant massage on bonding among infants aged 6–12 months. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The intervention included structured training using standardized massage techniques, followed by four weeks of home-based practice. Bonding was measured using the Maternal Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS) before and after the intervention. Data analysis used paired t-tests to assess within-group differences and independent t-tests to compare outcomes between the intervention and control groups. The results showed a significant improvement in bonding scores among mothers in the intervention group p-value = 0.011, with apparent differences compared to the control group. Observational data revealed enhanced maternal sensitivity, increased affectionate behavior, and greater emotional attunement. These findings suggest that infant massage is a practical, low-cost, and feasible intervention that can be effectively integrated into community-based maternal and child health programs to promote emotional attachment and support early developmental outcomes.

Abstract

Oxytocin massage is a complementary intervention designed to enhance breast milk production and support breastfeeding success during the postpartum period. Insufficient milk supply and low maternal confidence are frequently reported barriers to achieving exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk production and self-efficacy among postpartum mothers. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used. The study involved 52 participants, who were divided into an intervention group and a control group, each consisting of 26 participants, on the third day after delivery. Data were collected using an oxytocin massage checklist, a measuring cup to assess milk production, and a self-efficacy questionnaire. The Wilcoxon test with a significance level of α = 0.05 was employed for data analysis. The results indicated a significant difference in breast milk production between the intervention group and the control group, with a p-value of 0.000. A significant difference in self-efficacy was also observed, with the intervention group scoring higher than the control group, as indicated by a p-value of 0.001. These findings demonstrate that oxytocin massage effectively increases both breast milk production and maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding. Beyond physiological benefits through oxytocin release, the intervention also enhances psychological readiness, making oxytocin massage a recommended supportive therapy for postpartum breastfeeding success.
