Abstract

Innovation is no longer optional in health services it is essential. In the face of rising costs, workforce shortages, digital transformation, and increasing public expectations, healthcare systems must move beyond traditional models. Innovation represents a strategic effort to improve quality, enhance efficiency, and ensure long-term sustainability. Achieving high-quality care today requires balancing patient-centered outcomes with responsible resource management. Innovation integrates these goals by redesigning systems, strengthening leadership and collaboration, and leveraging digital and data-driven solutions. From telehealth to community-based prevention, innovation reshapes service delivery to improve resilience and accountability. Sustainable progress demands that innovation be evidence-based, ethical, and equity-oriented. The future of health services depends not on incremental adjustments, but on responsible and strategic innovation that secures lasting impact.

Abstract

Background: Academic stress is a psychological pressure experienced by students due to high academic demands. One factor that may influence academic stress is social support, including support from peers and family.. Objective:To determine whether peer social support and family support are associated with academic stress among students at SMAN 5 Jeneponto. Methods: This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 75 students selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: Of the students, 68.0% reported high peer support and 76.0% reported high family support. A total of 56.0% were in the low academic stress category, while 44.0% were in the high academic stress category. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between peer social support and academic stress (p = 0.000) and between family support and academic stress (p = 0.000). Higher support was associated with lower academic stress levels. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening support from peers and family to help students manage academic pressure in healthier and more adaptive ways. Conclusion: There were significant relationships between peer social support and family support with academic stress among students at SMAN 5 Jeneponto. Most students reported high peer support (68.0%) and high family support (76.0%); however, 44.0% of students still experienced high academic stress.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and remains a major global health problem. Effective management of DM requires proper self-management behaviors, including adequate knowledge and regular physical activity, which are essential for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge and physical activity with blood glucose levels among patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional method. The study was conducted at Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital, Makassar, Indonesia, in December 2025. A total of 40 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, while blood glucose data were obtained from medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square. Result: The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 50–60 years (57.5%), female (67.5%), had low educational levels (87.5%), and had been living with diabetes for 4–6 years (52.5%). Most respondents had blood glucose levels of 100–200 mg/dL (62.5%). There was a statistically significant relationship between knowledge and blood glucose levels (p = 0.000), where respondents with good knowledge had better glycemic control. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between physical activity and blood glucose levels (p = 0.000), indicating that respondents with active physical activity had better glycemic control compared to those with low physical activity. Conclusion: Knowledge and physical activity are significant determinants of glycemic control among patients with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, integrating patient education and the promotion of regular physical activity into diabetes management programs is essential to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.

Abstract

Background: Nurses perform physically demanding patient-care activities that can expose them to ergonomic hazards. This study evaluated questionnaire-based responses to work-position ergonomics education. Low back pain (LBP) was part of the educational context but was not directly measured. Methods: This nonrandomized pretest-posttest study included 132 nurses distributed across lecture, poster, and control groups, with 44 participants in each group. The outcomes were questionnaire-derived scores for attitude, occupational safety behavior, and self-reported work-injury reduction. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests assessed within-group changes, while Kruskal-Wallis tests compared the three groups. Results: Baseline characteristics and work-unit distributions differed across groups. All three outcome scores changed within the lecture and poster groups (reported p < 0.001) but not within the control group. Between-group differences were not statistically significant for attitude (p = 0.187) or occupational safety behavior (p = 0.180), whereas the work-injury-reduction score differed significantly among groups (p < 0.001). No post-hoc pairwise analysis was available to identify which groups differed. Conclusion: The observed patterns support further evaluation of ergonomics education but do not establish the superiority of either educational format or a reduction in LBP risk. Interpretation is constrained by nonrandom allocation, baseline imbalance, incomplete instrument reporting, and the absence of a direct group-by-time analysis.

Abstract

Background: Employee turnover can disrupt hospital staffing and service continuity. This study examined whether work engagement mediated the associations of compensation, role conflict, and work stress with turnover intention among employees of Toeloengredjo Hospital, Kediri. Methods: A cross-sectional survey included 159 of 265 permanent employees selected by simple random sampling. Five constructs were measured with self-report questionnaires. Pearson correlations and path analysis were conducted in Stata. Indirect effects were products of coefficients and tested using an approximate first-order delta method. Results: Compensation (b = 0.150, p = 0.049) and work stress (b = 0.146, p = 0.017) were positively associated with engagement; role conflict was not (p = 0.277). Role conflict (b = 0.176, p = 0.001) and engagement (b = 0.687, p < 0.001) were positively associated with turnover intention. The approximate indirect effect was supported for work stress (0.100, 95% CI 0.017 to 0.184, p = 0.019), but not compensation (p = 0.052) or role conflict (p = 0.277). Conclusion: The work stress pathway was indirect-only, but the positive engagement-turnover path contradicts theory and requires verification of item scoring. Cross-sectional data do not establish causal mediation.

Abstract

Background: Incomplete electronic medical record (EMR) documentation may compromise clinical communication, administrative processes, and data quality. Evidence from Indonesian hospitals remains limited regarding the joint association of system-related and user-behavior factors with documentation completeness. Objective: To examine the associations of system performance and healthcare workers’ behavior with EMR completeness at Toeloengredjo Hospital, Kediri. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 132 of 196 inpatient healthcare workers selected through proportional random sampling. System performance, healthcare workers’ behavior, and EMR completeness were assessed using the study instruments. Pearson correlation examined bivariate associations, and multiple linear regression evaluated the independent and joint associations of the two predictors with EMR completeness. Results: System performance was positively correlated with EMR completeness (r = 0.434, p < 0.001), as was healthcare workers’ behavior (r = 0.375, p < 0.001). In the regression model, system performance (standardized β = 0.240, p = 0.023) and healthcare workers’ behavior (standardized β = 0.266, p = 0.012) were independently associated with EMR completeness. The model was statistically significant, F(2, 129) = 17.505, p < 0.001, with R² = 0.213 and adjusted R² = 0.201. Conclusion: Higher system-performance and healthcare-worker-behavior scores were associated with greater EMR completeness. The slightly larger standardized coefficient for healthcare workers’ behavior indicates a stronger adjusted association within this model, but the cross-sectional design does not establish causality.

Abstract

Background: Patient safety incidents remain a problem in the delivery of primary health care because they can reduce the quality of care and endanger patients. Various factors suspected of contributing to patient safety incidents at community health centers include communication, work interruptions, and the workload of health care workers. The purpose of this study was to analyze the determinants of patient safety practices in relation to patient safety incidents at community health centers in Kediri Regency. Methods: The study design used in this research was a quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study. The population consisted of all nurses at community health centers in Kediri Regency, totaling 321 respondents. The study sample comprised 178 respondents. Proportional cluster sampling was used. The independent variables were communication, work-related interruptions, and patient safety incidents, while the dependent variable was patient safety incidents. Results: The results of the study showed that communication had a significant effect on patient safety incidents (p=0.000; r=0.507), work-related interruptions had a significant effect (p=0.000; r=0.529), and workload also had a significant effect (p=0.000; r=0.553). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that communication was the most dominant factor influencing patient safety incidents (β=2.536; p=0.012), followed by work-related interruptions (β=2.308; p=0.022) and workload (β=2.067; p=0.040). Collectively, communication, work-related interruptions, and workload had a significant effect on patient safety incidents (p=0.000) with an Adjusted R² value of 0.276, indicating that these three variables account for 27.6% of the variation in patient safety incidents, while 72.4% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. Discussion: Strengthening effective communication, controlling work-related interruptions, and managing workload appropriately are necessary to improve the patient safety culture and the quality of health services at community health centers.

Abstract

Background: Anxiety is common during cancer care, and spiritually congruent supportive interventions may be acceptable to patients who request them. Evidence from local implementation settings remains limited. Objective: To evaluate short-term changes in recorded anxiety severity and systolic blood pressure after a dhikr-based relaxation intervention among hospitalized adults with cancer. Methods: This evidence-based practice implementation project used a one-group pretest-posttest evaluation. Sixteen participants were recruited through a nonprobability consecutive approach between 4 and 26 November 2019. The intervention comprised two 15-minute sessions separated by a 30-minute rest period and combined guided slow breathing, relaxation, and Islamic dhikr. Anxiety and vital signs were assessed immediately before and after the intervention. Results: The recorded anxiety category score decreased from 2.31 (SD 0.79) to 1.44 (SD 1.03; p = 0.001). Mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 125.63 (SD 15.90) to 113.13 (SD 16.22) mmHg (p = 0.001). The archived pulse output contained no pretest or posttest descriptive values and was not interpreted. Conclusion: The combined dhikr, breathing, and relaxation intervention was associated with lower immediate postintervention anxiety category scores and systolic blood pressure. The small sample and absence of a control group preclude causal attribution.

Abstract

Background: Relapse in schizophrenia contributes to rehospitalization, functional deterioration, and caregiver burden. Although families are central to community care, evidence from Maluku on family support and relapse is limited. Objective: To examine the association between family support reported by family respondents and relapse among patients with schizophrenia at the Regional Specialized Hospital (RSKD) of Maluku Province, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2024. Forty adult family respondents were recruited purposively during the predefined study period (planned sample, 72). Family support was assessed with a 24-item questionnaire covering emotional, informational, instrumental, and appraisal support. Patient relapse was reported by the family respondent for the preceding 12 months and defined as symptom recurrence requiring hospital treatment; more than two episodes was classified as high relapse. Fisher's exact test was used for the 2 x 2 analysis. Results: Thirty-four respondents (85.0%) were classified as providing good family support and six (15.0%) as providing poor support. Twenty-six patients (65.0%) had high relapse and 14 (35.0%) had low relapse. Counterintuitively, high relapse occurred in 25 of 34 patients in the good-support group and 1 of 6 in the poor-support group (two-sided Fisher's exact test, p = 0.014; OR = 13.89, 95% CI: 1.42-135.55). Conclusion: Family-support category was associated with the patient's retrospectively reported relapse classification, but the unexpected direction, small sample, wide confidence interval, and cross-sectional design preclude a causal interpretation. Greater support may be a response to more severe or recurrent illness.

Abstract

Background: Family practices may shape adolescents’ use of herbal products, but greater use does not necessarily indicate safe or evidence-based use. Objective: To examine the association between family support for herbal use and herbal-use practice scores among senior high school students with previous herbal-use experience in Ambon, Maluku. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 89 purposively selected students at SMA Negeri 12 Ambon in November 2025. Family support and herbal-use practices were assessed using separate eight-item, four-point Likert questionnaires (score range, 8–32). Internal consistency coefficients were 0.866 and 0.861, respectively. Because both score distributions were non-normal, the association was examined using Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: Family support was positively associated with the herbal-use practice score (Spearman’s rho = 0.794, p < 0.001). Because both constructs were measured by self-report in the same session and may contain related content, the magnitude of the coefficient requires cautious interpretation. Conclusion: Among students with previous herbal-use experience at one school in Ambon, higher family-support scores were associated with higher herbal-use practice scores. The cross-sectional, selected-sample design does not establish directionality or causality and does not show that reported use was safe or evidence-based.
