Betania Narwastu Tania, Mardjan Mardjan, Elly Trisnawati — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Work stress is still one of the problems in the workplace. Survey results show that 55.2% of health workers in hospitals experience work stress. Health workers, especially female nurses and midwives, are more susceptible to stress and anxiety because of their dual roles as housewives and workers along with the work pressures that must be carried out. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of EFT in reducing work stress in female health workers (nakes) in hospitals.

Method: The research design used was Quasi Experimental. The sample was health workers, namely nurses and inpatient midwives who worked with a shift work mechanism of 25 people and were measured twice. Intervention method in this study was EFT treatment which was carried out for 7 consecutive days with 3 repetitions in each treatment. ENSS questionnaire was used to assess work stress. Data that had been collected was processed and analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test.

Result: The research findings show that the difference in work stress reduction is 31.76. Analysis test shows p-value = 0.000 (?0.05) which means there is a significant difference between work stress before and after the intervention. This study proves that EFT treatment is effective in reducing the risk of work stress in health workers, especially nurses and midwives who work with irregular shift work mechanisms. The main implication of the results of this study is the innovation of work stress interventions in a way that is fun and easy for workers to do.

Conclusion: EFT can be used as one of the efforts to reduce the risk of work stress in health workers in hospitals. This treatment can be adopted as a routine work program in controlling work stress in hospitals, so that it can be applied sustainably both at work and at home independently.

Abdul Aziz Alimul Hidayat, Ratna Agustin, Siwi Sabdasih — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) continues to pose a critical public health challenge in Indonesia, characterized by high transmission rates, particularly within household settings. Despite extensive efforts to mitigate the spread of TB, persistent barriers such as low adherence to prevention and treatment protocols hinder progress. Identifying the factors that influence adherence is essential to optimizing the efficacy of intervention strategies. This study aims to investigate the key predictors influencing adherence to preventive measures for pulmonary TB transmission in Surabaya City.

Methods: A quantitative research design employing a cross-sectional approach was utilized. Data were collected from 225 pulmonary TB patients attending community health centers in Surabaya City between September and December 2023. The variables examined included demographic characteristics, perceived benefits, barriers, susceptibility, severity, and self-efficacy. Statistical analysis was conducted using multiple logistic regression, with significance set at p<0.05.

Results: Significant predictors of adherence included age (p=0.048; OR=0.413), gender (p=0.009; OR=0.328), socioeconomic status (p=0.033; OR=3.052), perceived benefits (p=0.009; OR=10.086), barriers (p=0.007; OR=0.704), and self-efficacy (p=0.005; OR=29.335). Patients aged above 45 years, those reporting higher perceived benefits, and those with greater self-efficacy demonstrated higher adherence to TB prevention measures. These findings underscore the importance of self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and socioeconomic factors as significant determinants of adherence. The study's contribution lies in its exploration of adherence predictors within a high-risk population, offering valuable insights to inform targeted public health interventions.

Conclusion: Age, perceived benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy emerged as critical predictors of adherence to pulmonary TB prevention strategies in Surabaya City. Interventions aimed at strengthening self-efficacy and providing targeted educational programs for younger populations are recommended to enhance TB control efforts. Additionally, integrating these findings into broader public health frameworks, such as national TB control strategies, can amplify their impact and contribute to improved health outcomes.

Health Education Model in Disaster Situations: Systematic Review

Efa Nugroho, Ayu Istiada, Alfiana Ainun Nisa, Dwi Yunanto Hermawan — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Communities affected by disasters often lack the necessary knowledge and skills to handle emergency health issues. To address this, effective health education models are essential in enhancing community preparedness and response. To provide effective and efficient recommendations on health education models in disaster situations.

Method: This study was a systematic review that gathered multiple studies using the PRISMA flow. Relevant keywords have been used, and articles were collected from various databases, including PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus. The studies were collected from June to July 2024.

Result: Out of 4,363 articles found, 19 were selected for further analysis. Health education in disaster situations can improve individual knowledge and skills to protect themselves, prevent disease, and support public health. This education was conducted in pre-disaster, during disaster, and post-disaster.

Conclusion: In the pre-disaster phase, health education focuses on mitigation and preparedness through counseling reinforced by simulations, training, and role-playing. In the disaster phase, media such as digital devices, educational boards, and booklets disseminate information. In the post-disaster phase, health education focuses on restoring and maintaining emotional stability and community safety and addressing trauma-induced stress through health counseling and play. However, the results of this study do not cover the needs of marginalized or special needs groups, so further research is needed to understand how health education models can further adapt to different cultural contexts, especially in the emergency response phase of disasters.

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Muhammadiyah is one of the largest religious organizations in Indonesia which owns and manages the largest non-profit hospitals for more than a hundred years. Muhammadiyah Hospital is a model of social entrepreneurship organization (SEO). Studies related to the performance of Muhammadiyah hospital organizations and their relationship with several other related variables have not been widely conducted and have focused more on Muhammadiyah's philanthropic activities and roles, Muhammadiyah's history in the field of health services, and the ethics of Muhammadiyah's health service. Therefore, this research aims to explore the relationship of variables Servant Leadership, Managerial Cognitive Capability, and Emotional Regulation to shape Organizational Performance (OP) with intermediate variable: Leadership Effectiveness in Muhammadiyah Hospitals. This research utilizes primary data which was collected through phone-call surveys with 443 top and middle management respondents at 111 Muhammadiyah Hospitals in Indonesia. The data was collected by trained and experienced Enumerators using structured questionnaire designed specifically for each type of respondents.

Methods: The study utilizes Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) methods using Maximum Likelihood Estimation. The method is used to analyze the influence of variables Servant Leadership, Managerial Cognitive Capability, and Emotional Regulation: Improving and Worsening (IMP and WOR) on Organizational Performance (OP) with Leadership Effectiveness as a mediator.

Results: The study results found that Servant Leadership, Managerial Cognitive Capability, and Emotional Regulation: Improving (IMP) have a positive effect on Leadership Effectiveness. The increasing Servant Leadership, Managerial Cognitive Capability, and Emotional Regulation: Improving (IMP) will increase Leadership Effectiveness. Meanwhile, Emotional Regulation: Worsening (WOR) has a negative effect on Leadership Effectiveness. Increasing Emotional Regulation: Worsening (WOR) will reduce Leadership Effectiveness. The analysis results show that Leadership Effectiveness variable directly affects Organization Performance positively, in terms of the effect of Leadership Effectiveness as a mediate variable.

Conclusion:This research concludes that leadership effectiveness play an important role in the cognitive abilities of hospital directors in driving hospital performance and the hospital director's cognitive ability is the key to strengthen leadership effectiveness. Considering limitations of this research, future studies should employ a-mix method of quantitative and qualitative data collection technique to bring deeper analysis results, as well as include diverse leadership types other than servant leadership to explore their relationship with the organization performance.
