Abstract

Purchasers and providers are important in providing quality health services for participants. This is formally regulated through a contractual mechanism to achieve the potential benefits of strategic health purchasing (SHP) and ensure effectiveness, efficiency, and quality. The experience of contracting with providers differs in each country due to underlying determinants. This study aims to identify differences in contracts between referral health facilities and social health insurance in Indonesia and England. A normative legal research approach is used, utilizing secondary data sources such as literature, regulations, and contractual arrangements. Important clauses in the contract, such as rights and obligations, service tariff setting, agreement period, monitoring and evaluation, settlement of expired or disputed claims, mechanisms for providing information, and handling complaints, have been regulated in contracts in both Indonesia and England. Unlike the case in England, incentive payment policies have not been further regulated in Indonesia’s contracts. Additionally, notification and communication procedures for the parties involved have been integrated into the system in England. It is expected that learning from the NHS contracts will provide the potential for developing a more ideal contract implementation, effective monitoring and evaluation, and the delivery of optimal and high-quality health services.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant health challenge in urban and semi-urban regions, including Malang City, Indonesia, where Aedes aegypti is the primary vector. This study aimed to identify the breeding site preferences of Ae. aegypti and assess its resistance to 0.8% malathion and 0.05% cypermethrin insecticides. Using a descriptive observational design, ovitraps were deployed in three districts to collect mosquito larvae and eggs, and interviews with residents provided additional data on breeding site preferences. Resistance tests followed WHO guidelines, with mortality rates analysed after insecticide exposure. Results indicated that Ae. aegypti larvae were predominantly found in bathroom water tanks (45%) and flower vases (35%). Resistance status revealed geographical variability: Ae. aegypti in District 1 were resistant to cypermethrin, while populations in Districts 2 and 3 were susceptible, with average status of Ae. Aegypti to cypermethrin is tolerant. For malathion, resistance was widespread, particularly in District 3, with average status of Ae. Aegypti to malathion is resistant. These findings suggest that the use of malathion for vector control in Malang is no longer effective, while cypermethrin remains viable under strict monitoring to prevent future resistance. This study underscores the need for targeted insecticide use and regular monitoring to optimize vector control strategies and minimize DHF transmission.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the main factors contributing to premature death. The nationwide prevalence rate of hypertension in Indonesia is relatively high. Understanding the factors contributing to hypertension is essential to reduce the prevalence of hypertension. This paper investigates the risk factors associated with hypertension based on the survey data of Riskesdas 2018. The risk factors related to behaviors or lifestyle include smoking every day, being less active, eating fatty or salty foods once a day, drinking caffeine once a day, and overweight status. Using multiple linear regression, this study finds that being overweight with a body mass index in range 25-27 and having a daily coffee intake habit of one cup are the most significant risk factors to the prevalence of hypertension. These findings should be used as a reference for preventative and promotional actions to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia.

Abstract

Adolescent marriages in Bali Province are reported to be increasing. Sociodemographic factors and adolescents’ attitudes toward family planning programs are suspected to be related to adolescent marriage. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between demographic factors of adolescents’ attitudes toward family planning programs and the ideal age of marriage for adolescents. This study uses secondary data from the Program Performance and Accountability Survey of the National Population and Family Planning Agency of Bali Province in 2019. Cross-sectional studies were conducted among adolescents aged 10-24 years. The probability of selecting 668 adolescents for this study was determined using the proportional-to-size method. An adolescent’s marriage is determined based on the adolescent’s perceptions of the age of marriage before 21 years. Logistic regression tests were conducted to determine the relationship between access to information and the perception of marriage among adolescents. It was found that 87.9% of the adolescents perceive the age of marriage for women as≥ 21 years. Based on the results of the multivariate analysis, gender, rural residence, and access to information on family planning programs, adolescents’ attitudes toward FPPs and attitudes toward marriage before 21 years of age were associated with adolescents’ marriage. Factor demographic factors and adolescent attitudes increased the perception of the ideal age for marriage among adolescents. This finding suggests that demographic factors should be considered to increase the ideal age for adolescent marriage to further prevent the incidence of health and social problems resulting from child marriages.

Abstract

From 2013 to 2018, the proportion of anemia in pregnant women in urban and rural areas increased from 37.1% to 48.9%. This study aims to analyze the differences in determinants of anemia in pregnancy based on place of residence. Research was conducted in 2024. The research sample in rural areas was 39 pregnant women with anemia, and in urban areas was 31 pregnant women with anemia. Ratio scale data, including nutritional intake, is tested for normality with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, then tested using the t-independent test. Other variables are tested using the Mann-Whitney test. Regarding the various determinant factors studied, including the age of pregnant women, nutritional status, and gravida status, there is no significant difference (p-value > 0.05) in pregnant women with anemia in rural and urban areas. There is a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) between nutritional knowledge, food expenditure, and nutritional intake in pregnant women with anemia in rural and urban areas. Based on the determinant factors of anemia in pregnancy studied, food expenditure, nutritional knowledge of pregnant women, protein, iron, and vitamin C intake in pregnant women with anemia in rural and urban areas differ significantly.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the connection between hospital performance and customer centricity, focusing on the adoption of Patient-Centered Care (PCC) practices. This study explores how customer-centric approaches influence key performance indicators (KPIs) in healthcare organizations to highlight the benefits of fostering a patient-centered care culture. A mixed-methods approach combines qualitative case studies with quantitative data analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with patients, administrators, and healthcare providers from selected hospitals. The quantitative aspect involved statistical analysis of financial performance, readmission rates, and patient satisfaction scores. The qualitative component included in-depth interviews capturing the perspectives of those implementing PCC. Findings reveal a significant positive correlation between hospital performance and customer-centric strategies. Hospitals that actively adopted PCC had lower readmission rates, higher satisfaction scores, and better financial outcomes. Qualitative insights further underscore the importance of organizational culture, staff development, and leadership commitment in successful PCC implementation. The research concludes by offering specific strategies healthcare organizations can adopt to enhance customer-centricity and achieve improved performance outcomes.

Abstract

Use of postpartum contraceptives is critical to the prevention of unwanted pregnancies and enhancing maternal and child health. Yet, husbands’ support for the use of contraceptives is still low based on cultural beliefs and inadequate knowledge. It is important to understand how health belief influences husbands’ readiness in order to improve family planning. This study will analyze the association between health beliefs and husbands’ readiness to support postpartum contraceptive use. A cross-sectional correlational descriptive design was employed with 170 husbands of postpartum women in Samarinda, Indonesia. Consecutive sampling was used, and data were collected using validated tools modeled after the Health Belief Model (HBM) and a scale of a husband’s preparedness. The tools were found to have high reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.761 to 0.988. Data analysis included univariate descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation to quantify the relationship between preparedness and the health beliefs of husbands. Researchers found a significant positive relationship between preparedness and health beliefs of husbands in support of postpartum use of contraceptives (p = 0.01, r = 0.745). The greatest correlation was between perceived susceptibility and concern (r = 0.548, p = 0.00), then self-efficacy and concern (r = 0.534, p = 0.00). Husbands’ health beliefs play a crucial role in their willingness to support postpartum contraceptive use. Anchoring on education programs that reinforce health beliefs will enhance husbands’ participation in family planning.
