Abstract

Introduction: Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is a central objective of national health systems, aiming to ensure equitable access to quality health services without financial hardship. Despite global commitments, countries vary widely in UHC implementation due to differences in governance, financing mechanisms, and system capacity. This study analyzes health policy approaches to UHC implementation with a focus on governance and financing arrangements within national health systems. Methods: A qualitative policy analysis was conducted using a narrative review of peer‑reviewed articles, policy documents, and reports from international health organizations published between 2015 and 2024. Data were analyzed using a health systems framework emphasizing governance, financing, and service delivery dimensions. Cross‑country comparisons were applied to identify common patterns, challenges, and enabling factors in UHC implementation. Results: The analysis shows that strong governance structures, clear regulatory frameworks, and political commitment are critical for effective UHC implementation. Sustainable financing characterized by pooled funding, strategic purchasing, and reduced out‑of‑pocket payments was consistently associated with improved service coverage and financial protection. Fragmented governance and inadequate financing mechanisms remained major barriers, particularly in low‑ and middle‑income countries. Conclusion: Effective UHC implementation requires integrated governance and financing reforms aligned with national contexts. Policy coherence, institutional capacity strengthening, and adaptive financing strategies are essential to improve system performance and equity.

Abstract

Introduction: Childhood stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly at the primary care level. Family involvement plays a crucial role in child growth, yet empirical evidence on the relationship between family health tasks and stunting is limited. This study aimed to examine the association between family health tasks and childhood stunting in primary care settings in Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 families with children aged 6–59 months attending selected primary healthcare centers. Family health tasks were assessed using a structured questionnaire covering health problem recognition, decision-making, caregiving, home environment management, and healthcare utilization. Childhood stunting was determined using height-for-age z-scores based on World Health Organization growth standards. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Results: The prevalence of childhood stunting was 40.0%. More than half of the families demonstrated inadequate performance of family health tasks. A statistically significant association was found between family health tasks and childhood stunting, with higher stunting prevalence among children from families with inadequate task performance (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Inadequate family health task performance is associated with an increased risk of childhood stunting. Strengthening family capacity to perform essential health tasks through family-centered interventions in primary care may contribute to more effective stunting prevention strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: Nursing workforce policies are critical determinants of healthcare system performance, particularly in improving care quality and reducing inequities. However, longitudinal evidence assessing their causal impact remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the effects of nursing workforce policy implementation on healthcare quality and equity outcomes using a prospective cohort design. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted across public and private healthcare facilities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia (2025). A multistage stratified sampling approach yielded 862 participants. Policy exposure was categorized into low, moderate, and high levels based on staffing regulations, skill mix, and workload management. Data were collected at baseline and follow-up intervals using validated instruments and administrative records. Multilevel regression models were applied, including logistic regression for patient safety events, linear regression for continuous outcomes, and risk ratio estimation for equity indicators. Results were reported as OR/β/RR with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p-values. Results: High policy exposure significantly reduced patient safety events (OR = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.45–0.85; p = 0.003). Length of stay decreased (β = −1.75; 95% CI: −2.80 to −0.70; p = 0.001), while patient satisfaction increased (β = 3.42; 95% CI: 1.90–4.94; p < 0.001). Equity outcomes improved significantly (RR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.10–1.49; p = 0.002). These findings remained robust after adjusting for individual and facility-level confounders. Conclusion: Nursing workforce policy implementation significantly enhances healthcare quality and promotes equity. Strengthening staffing regulations, optimizing skill mix, and ensuring consistent policy enforcement are essential strategies to improve health system performance. Integrating workforce policies with governance and financing mechanisms is crucial for achieving sustainable and equitable healthcare outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Variability in health service performance persists despite structural investments, suggesting that governance and leadership are critical determinants. This study aimed to analyze the influence of health system governance and leadership on service performance within healthcare facilities. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 210 health personnel selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated structured questionnaires measuring governance (accountability, transparency, participation, regulatory compliance) and leadership (transformational and transactional behaviors). Reliability was confirmed (Cronbach’s α ≥ 0.70). Descriptive statistics, bivariate tests (Chi-square), and multivariate logistic regression were applied to estimate adjusted associations. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: Strong governance was significantly associated with good service performance (OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.58–5.21; p = 0.001). Effective leadership showed a stronger effect (OR = 3.45; 95% CI: 1.89–6.31; p < 0.001). Work experience ≥5 years was not statistically significant after adjustment (OR = 1.76; 95% CI: 0.98–3.15; p = 0.058). Facilities characterized by both strong governance and effective leadership demonstrated the highest likelihood of achieving optimal performance outcomes. Conclusion: Governance and leadership jointly determine service performance, with leadership exerting the greatest influence. Strengthening leadership capacity alongside reinforcing governance mechanisms is essential for improving healthcare delivery. Policy interventions should prioritize integrated strategies that align institutional frameworks with managerial effectiveness to achieve sustainable performance gains.

Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety is a common and clinically significant comorbidity among asthma patients in emergency departments (EDs), potentially worsening respiratory symptoms and complicating management. Non-pharmacological interventions such as Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) remain underutilized in acute care. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PMR in reducing anxiety among asthma patients in ED settings. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed. The study included 70 adult asthma patients (35 intervention, 35 control) recruited using purposive sampling in an ED setting over three months. The intervention group received a structured 15-minute PMR session in addition to standard care, while the control group received standard care only. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests, followed by multivariate linear regression to control for potential confounders. Results: The intervention group demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in anxiety scores compared to the control group (mean difference: -14.2 vs -4.4; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that PMR was an independent predictor of anxiety reduction (β = -9.85; 95% CI: -12.40 to -7.30; p < 0.001), after adjusting for age, sex, and asthma severity. Asthma severity was also significantly associated with anxiety levels (β = 1.75; 95% CI: 0.30 to 3.20; p = 0.018). Conclusion: PMR is an effective, low-cost, and feasible intervention for reducing anxiety among asthma patients in ED settings. Integrating PMR into emergency nursing protocols may enhance patient-centered care and improve clinical outcomes. Policymakers should consider incorporating non-pharmacological interventions into acute care guidelines to support holistic and sustainable health service delivery.

Abstract

Introduction: Health crises require adaptive, socially grounded responses that integrate formal health systems with community capacity. In Makassar, Indonesia, disparities in access, social heterogeneity, and varying levels of health literacy intensify vulnerability during crises. This study aimed to develop and examine an integrative model combining community strategies and community nurse interventions using a health sociology approach, with social solidarity as a moderating variable to enhance community health resilience. Methods: A mixed-methods, sequential, explanatory design was used. The quantitative phase involved a cross-sectional survey of 80 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The qualitative phase included in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 20 key informants (community nurses, community leaders, and health officials), analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Community strategies (β = 0.41; p < 0.001) and community nurse interventions (β = 0.45; p < 0.001) significantly influenced health resilience. Social solidarity moderated the relationship between community strategies and resilience (p < 0.05). The integrative model demonstrated strong predictive power (R² = 0.62). Qualitative findings identified four key themes: locally grounded community strategies, nurses as educators and facilitators, structural and cultural barriers, and integration as a determinant of effectiveness. Conclusion: The integration of community-based strategies and community nursing interventions significantly enhances health resilience by strengthening social solidarity, improving service access, and enabling context-based adaptation. This model provides both theoretical contributions to community health nursing and practical implications for community-based health policy in crisis settings.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern globally and in Indonesia, with increasing incidence reported in recent years. Multiple determinants, including individual knowledge, nutritional status, and housing density, contribute to TB transmission dynamics. In the context of health policy and community-based prevention, understanding these determinants is essential to inform targeted interventions. This study aimed to analyze the association between knowledge, nutritional status, and housing density with pulmonary tuberculosis incidence in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Lapandewa, South Buton Regency. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 132 suspected TB patients registered in 2025, with a sample of 99 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. Variables included knowledge, housing density, nutritional status, and TB incidence. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests to assess associations, with a significance level of 0.05. Effect sizes were estimated using Odds Ratios (OR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Results: Low knowledge was significantly associated with TB incidence (OR=3.12; 95% CI: 1.45–6.72; p=0.003). High housing density was also significantly related to TB occurrence (OR=2.87; 95% CI: 1.36–6.05; p=0.005). Respondents with poor nutritional status had a higher risk of TB (OR=3.45; 95% CI: 1.68–7.10; p=0.001). These results indicate that behavioral and environmental determinants play a critical role in TB transmission. Conclusion: Knowledge, housing density, and nutritional status are significant determinants of pulmonary tuberculosis incidence. Strengthening health policies that focus on community education, housing improvements, and nutritional interventions is essential to reducing the TB burden. Integrated public health strategies are recommended to enhance early detection and prevention efforts.
