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.
