Abstract

Background of study: This study examines the legal and administrative challenges faced by hospitals in providing BPJS Health services to abandoned children without a National Identification Number (NIK) in Indonesia. Despite constitutional guarantees of healthcare for all citizens, the absence of explicit regulatory mechanisms for patients without formal identification creates significant financial and operational risks for healthcare providers.Aims and scope of paper: The research aims to analyze the policy gaps in the BPJS Health system regarding coverage for abandoned children without NIK and to assess the resulting implications for hospital operations and health equity. It focuses on evaluating existing regulations and their implementation through a health policy framework.Methods: A qualitative policy analysis was conducted using Walt & Gilson's Policy Triangle framework (context, process, actors, content) and the concept of health equity. Data were collected through a comprehensive review of legal documents, government regulations, academic literature, and reports on BPJS claim processesResult: The analysis reveals significant regulatory gaps, as current policies do not explicitly include abandoned children without NIK as eligible beneficiaries. Hospitals face substantial administrative barriers, with 61.39% of claim delays attributed to incomplete documentation. Services for these children are often categorized as unfunded emergency or social care, creating financial strain on healthcare facilities and inconsistent access for vulnerable populations.Conclusion: The study concludes that clear legal instruments and standardized operational procedures are urgently needed to protect hospitals, ensure transparent claim mechanisms, and guarantee equitable healthcare access for abandoned children without NIK. Policy reforms should address both administrative requirements and systemic coordination among stakeholders to achieve true universal health coverage.

Abstract

Background of study: The aging process in older adults is accompanied by musculoskeletal changes that frequently manifest as joint pain, impairing daily functioning, independence, and overall quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly explored, with tera exercise—a light exercise emphasizing stretching, joint mobility, flexibility, circulation, and relaxation—emerging as a promising approach.Aim : This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of tera exercise in reducing joint pain among elderly residents of a private nursing home in Jakarta, thereby providing empirical evidence for its role as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve musculoskeletal health and quality of life.Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. Using purposive sampling, 20 respondents were recruited. Joint pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after a two-week tera exercise program conducted three times per week. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.Result: Prior to the intervention, 10 respondents (50%) reported mild to moderate pain, while 10 respondents (50%) experienced severe to very severe pain. After the intervention, 17 respondents (85%) reported mild to moderate pain, and only 3 respondents (15%) remained in the severe to very severe category. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value < 0.05 and a Z-score of -2.646, indicating a significant reduction in joint pain.Conclusion: Tera exercise is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for alleviating joint discomfort and improving musculoskeletal health among older adults in nursing home settings. However, limitations include the small sample size and absence of a control group. Future studies should employ larger samples, randomized controlled designs, longer observation periods, and examine additional factors such as physical activity, psychological status, and pharmacological therapies.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition in which a person experiences an increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure beyond normal limits. One of the main problems with hypertension is the increase in blood pressure. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reaches 25%, increasing sharply in the elderly: 45.3% (45-54 years), 55.2% (55-64 years), 63.2% (65-74 years), and 69.5% (75+ years). In 2024, at the Khusnul Khotimah Social Services Unit, out of 90 elderly people, 46 people experienced hypertension as the number one disease. Non-pharmacological blood pressure management can be done by applying Benson relaxation therapy. This scientific paper aims to analyze nursing care for Mrs. N and Mr. H and evaluate the application of Benson relaxation therapy in reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension at the Husnul Khotimah Social Services Unit, Riau Province Social Services correctly, appropriately and in accordance with professional nursing standards. This application uses a one-group pretest-posttest design with 2 subjects. The research instrument uses an observation sheet. The intervention was administered from November 29 to December 1, 2025. This intervention was carried out for 15 minutes for 3 consecutive days, morning and afternoon. The results of blood pressure for 3 days with an average systolic value before therapy was 148.75 and a diastolic value of 94.17 after therapy, the average systolic value was 144.33 and a diastolic value of 90.75. Meanwhile, the average decrease in blood pressure for 3 days was a systolic of 4.42 and a diastolic of 3.42. The results of Benson relaxation therapy have been proven to reduce blood pressure. It is hoped that this scientific paper report can be used as a guide in providing nursing care, especially the application of Benson relaxation interventions.

Abstract

Elderly individuals are individuals aged 60 years and above and are susceptible to various health problems, one of which is gout arthritis, a metabolic disorder caused by excess uric acid buildup that causes joint pain. Pain experienced by the elderly can interfere with comfort and daily activities, so appropriate nursing interventions are needed, including non-pharmacological approaches. This scientific paper aims to analyze nursing care for Mrs. M and Mr. A and evaluate the application of cinnamon warm compress therapy in reducing gout arthritis pain in the elderly at the UPT PSTW Husnul Khotimah, Riau Provincial Social Service, according to professional nursing standards. The method used is a one-group pretest-posttest design with two subjects. The instrument used is a pain scale observation sheet. The cinnamon warm compress intervention was given for 15 minutes every day at 14.00–15.00 WIB during the period of November 29 to December 5, 2025. The results showed that the average pain scale before the intervention was 4.8 and after the intervention decreased to 3, with an average pain reduction of 1.7 for seven days. It was concluded that cinnamon warm compress therapy was effective in reducing gout arthritis pain and can be recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention in nursing care for the elderly with routine pain monitoring.
