Abstract

Employee performance is a key factor in the effective management, yet challenges such as low motivation and poor coordination among managers persist. This study examines the influence of transformational leadership, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation on employee performance. A quantitative approach was applied, surveying all 80 village management employees using a census technique. Data were collected via a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed with Partial Least Squares (SmartPLS) to assess validity, reliability, and relationships between latent variables through bootstrapping. The results indicate that all three independent variables positively and significantly affect employee performance, with an R² of 0.978, demonstrating strong explanatory power. The findings suggest that combining transformational leadership with balanced intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is an effective strategy to enhance employee performance and ensure the sustainable management of culture-based tourism in the village.

Abstract

Indonesia’s maternal mortality ratio remains high, largely due to delayed detection of obstetric complications at primary health centres. Ultrasonography is vital for early diagnosis and referral, yet regulations prohibit midwives the primary maternal care providers from operating ultrasound machines, even in emergencies. This study analyses the legal framework, contrasts it with field practices, and compares it with international standards using normative juridical methods (statutory, comparative, and case approaches). The findings reveal a sharp conflict, regulations explicitly reserve ultrasound operation for physicians and radiologists, while midwives routinely perform basic scans out of necessity in areas without doctors, creating a legal grey area that exposes them to professional sanctions, civil claims, or criminal charges regardless of patient outcome. This uncertainty encourages defensive practice and contributes to delays that cost lives. The study concludes that continued prohibition is unsustainable. Urgent regulatory reform is needed to grant certified midwives limited, clearly defined authority to perform obstetric point-of-care ultrasound through a new specific ministerial regulation that includes national training, restricted scope, and explicit legal protection. Such reform would align law with clinical reality and international best practice, provide legal certainty for midwives, and accelerate the reduction of preventable maternal deaths in Indonesia.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence into healthcare promises to revolutionize medical diagnostics and service delivery. However, rapid technological advancement has outpaced the development of a specific legal framework, creating significant legal uncertainty. This study aims to examine Indonesia’s legal framework for medical artificial intelligence, identify key regulatory gaps, and propose an adaptive legal model to ensure safe and ethical artificial intelligence adoption. Using a normative juridical approach with statutory, conceptual, and comparative analyses, the study finds that current regulations, including Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health and Law Number 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions, provide general but insufficient guidance. Critical issues such as liability for artificial intelligence-induced errors, data governance, algorithmic transparency, and patient consent remain unresolved. This regulatory gap poses risks to patients, healthcare providers, and technology developers. The absence of a robust, adaptive legal framework undermines legal certainty and patient protection, limiting trust and safe adoption of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The study proposes a tiered regulatory model based on international best practices to ensure accountability and foster confidence in artificial intelligence-driven medical services.

Abstract

The refusal of medical treatment by patients, grounded in deeply held personal or religious beliefs, presents a profound legal and ethical dilemma, colliding with the healthcare professional’s fundamental duty to preserve life. This study analyzes this dilemma from both normative and humanistic perspectives. This study employs a qualitative, doctrinal methodology, synthesizing a literature review of national and international legal regulations, bioethics, health law, and academic sources published between 2013 and 2024. The analysis reveals three core findings: Patients possess a robust, legally protected right to autonomy and religious freedom; Healthcare professionals are bound by an equally compelling legal and professional obligation to provide care, particularly in emergencies; and a significant tension exists where rigid legal-formalistic solutions (normative) fail to address the underlying humanistic considerations of patient dignity. The study argues for an integrative normative-humanistic framework. This model reconciles the conflict by moving beyond legal formalism to emphasize therapeutic communication and participatory-dialogic solutions. This integration minimizes disputes by ensuring legal certainty for physicians while respecting patient dignity. This research concludes that this integrated approach is essential for providing just, ethical, and humane resolutions in multicultural societies.

Abstract

Medical dispute resolution in Indonesia relies on a fault-based litigation model, which burdens patients with high evidentiary standards, stigmatizes physicians, and hinders systemic learning in healthcare. This article aims to explore the potential of integrating a no-fault compensation system with restorative justice as an alternative framework. The research adopts a normative juridical method combined with comparative legal analysis, using New Zealand’s accident compensation corporation as a primary comparative model. Findings indicate that Indonesia’s mechanism fails to ensure equitable remedies and often results in defensive medicine. New Zealand’s no-fault compensation system demonstrates efficiency and patient-centeredness. However, the no-fault compensation system alone may lack the relational repair component that restorative justice provides. The proposed hybrid no-fault restorative justice model combines material justice (compensation without proof of negligence) with relational justice (acknowledgement, apology, and trust restoration). This integrated approach is normatively consistent with Indonesia’s constitutional commitment to social justice and resonates with cultural values of deliberation. The hybrid no-fault restorative justice model could transform Indonesia’s health law from a punitive, adversarial paradigm into a preventative, restorative, and patient-centered system.

Abstract

Persons with mental disorders, legally recognized as persons with psychosocial disabilities, are entitled to fundamental constitutional rights, including equal treatment, freedom from discrimination, and a dignified life. However, despite guarantees under Indonesian law and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the protection mechanism for individuals leaving psychiatric institutional care remains structurally inadequate, resulting in persistent social rejection and family abandonment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of existing legal protections and identify the structural barriers that hinder full social reintegration. Using normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches, the analysis focuses on Law Number 18 of 2014, Law Number 8 of 2016, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Findings indicate that the absence of firm penal sanctions for discriminatory acts, combined with deep-rooted social stigma and insufficient community-based reintegration support, renders current legal safeguards ineffective. The study concludes that comprehensive regulatory reform is needed, emphasizing the inclusion of strict sanctions and mandatory community support systems to ensure the realization of the right to full and dignified reintegration for persons with psychosocial disabilities.

Abstract

Medical disputes in hospitals are frequently resolved through external channels, such as litigation or third-party mediation, imposing substantial burdens related to cost, time, and reputational risk on healthcare professionals and institutions. This study examines the critical urgency of strengthening the medical committee’s role as an internal mediator in resolving such disputes, utilizing a juridical-normative approach and extensive literature analysis. The study emphasizes the medical committee’s strategic position, which possesses technical clinical competence, professional ethical insight, and internal legitimacy necessary to mediate conflicts objectively, fairly, and transparently. Findings suggest that a stronger mediative role for the medical committee inversely correlates with the potential for disputes to escalate into litigation, thereby reducing administrative burdens and risks. Strengthening this function offers significant benefits, including risk mitigation, enhanced patient trust, reinforced ethical culture, accelerated restorative resolution, and a foundation for developing robust internal hospital regulations. The study recommends mandatory capacity building in mediation, communication, and health law for committee members, coupled with systematic monitoring mechanisms. This research expands the discourse on the committee’s mediative function practically, it offers an effective internal dispute resolution model for Indonesian hospitals.

Abstract

The principle of Aegroti Salus Lex Suprema (Patient Safety is the Supreme Law) forms the ethical and legal core of healthcare, strictly prohibiting the refusal of patients in emergency conditions, as codified in the Indonesian Health Law, Law Number 17 of 2023. However, documented cases show a persistent gap between this legal mandate and clinical reality, often due to administrative priorities. This study aims to explicitly examine the legal foundation of the Aegroti Salus Lex Suprema principle and to analyze its concrete implementation. This study employs a sociological-juridical approach with a case study methodology to analyze the legal basis and the concrete implementation of this principle in emergency practice. Primary data, collected via interviews and observation, supplemented by secondary legal materials, were analyzed qualitatively. Findings indicate that this Islamic hospital institutionalizes Aegroti Salus Lex Suprema through rigorous internal regulations, including staff credentialing, establishing a maximum 5-minute response time, implementing triage protocols, and creating detailed resuscitation guidelines. The study concludes that this Islamic hospital successfully fulfills its social and legal duty by embedding patient safety as the highest institutional priority, providing a strategic model for minimizing malpractice risks and enhancing life-saving accountability across Indonesian healthcare facilities.

Abstract

Community health centers serve as the frontline of primary health care in Indonesia, yet their ability to deliver quality services in remote areas is often limited by gaps between legal mandates and daily practice. This study examines the implementation of health law at Health Center, and identifies practical strategies to improve service quality and legal compliance. The research combined juridical-normative analysis of relevant national laws and regulations with empirical data collected through observation, in-depth interviews with the head of the health center, staff, and patients, and document review at the health center. Thematic analysis was applied to assess alignment between legal standards and actual practice. Findings reveal that the health center consistently applies standard operating procedures, maintains active promotive-preventive-curative-rehabilitative programs, and provides accessible complaint mechanisms. However, persistent personnel shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and low legal awareness among staff and community members continue to hinder full compliance with minimum service standards. Management responds through regular internal training, gradual infrastructure improvement using operational funds, and cross-sectoral collaboration with local leaders and village cadres. These efforts demonstrate that service quality in remote areas can be strengthened through continuous capacity building and community involvement.

Abstract

Unwanted pregnancies, particularly those resulting from rape, create complex legal and ethical conflicts in Indonesia, balancing a woman’s reproductive autonomy and psychological health against fetal protection. This study analyzes criminal accountability and sentencing of doctors in rape-related abortion cases under Indonesian law. Using a normative juridical method, it examines secondary legal sources, including the Criminal Code, Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health Law, Government Regulation Number 2 of 2025 on Reproductive Health, and judicial precedents. Findings show that a doctor’s liability depends on strict compliance with legal exceptions, including proof of rape, adherence to the fourteen-week gestational limit, and procedural standards such as competent medical teams and authorized facilities. Judicial evaluation emphasizes the presence or absence of justification or excuse, which can mitigate or aggravate penalties. The implementation of Criminal Code Number 1 of 2023 and Government Regulation Number 2 of 2025 provides clearer legal protection for medical professionals, resolving longstanding ethical and legal dilemmas. The legal framework now balances the rights of rape victims with the accountability of medical practitioners, ensuring proportional sanctions, safeguarding human rights, and enhancing legal certainty in reproductive health cases.
