Public health administration plays a strategic role in strengthening primary health care governance amid increasingly complex health system challenges. This study aimed to synthesize recent evidence on the development, challenges, and implications of public health administration during the period 2020–2025. A literature review with a systematic approach was conducted by analyzing peer-reviewed articles retrieved from major scientific databases and selected through a PRISMA 2020 flow process. The findings indicate that effective public health administration—characterized by strong governance, adaptive leadership, and the integration of digital health information systems—contributes to improved performance of primary health care services in terms of service quality, efficiency, and sustainability. However, the review also reveals persistent gaps, particularly the limited empirical evidence examining causal relationships between administrative capacity and health service performance, as well as challenges related to human resource readiness and data governance in digital transformation. These findings highlight the need to strengthen administrative capacity, leadership competencies, and integrated information systems to support resilient primary health care. The study provides theoretical and practical implications for policymakers, health managers, and researchers in advancing public health administration toward more effective and sustainable health systems.

Medical emergency services demand swift and precise action; however, medical personnel are often hindered by the risk of criminalization resulting from unintended outcomes. Although Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health mandates the provision of assistance, the regulation has not yet provided explicit criminal protection for good-faith rescuers, thereby triggering the practice of defensive medicine. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Good Samaritan Law (GSL) concept as an alternative legal protection for health workers. The research methods employed are juridical-normative and juridical-empirical, utilizing statutory, comparative, and case approaches. The findings indicate that current regulations, including Article 531 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) and Law No. 17/2023, have limitations as they emphasize the obligation to assist rather than the protection of the rescuer. In comparison, the international GSL concept offers a standard of "limited immunity," which explicitly protects rescuers from civil and criminal liability, provided the actions are performed without gross negligence. The impact of implementing GSL in Indonesia is projected to provide stronger legal certainty than existing regulations, reduce the psychological burden on medical personnel in emergency situations, and encourage social solidarity without the fear of unnecessary lawsuits. The study concludes that the adoption of GSL is an urgent legal reconstruction to ensure the professional protection of health workers in Indonesia.

This study aims to examine the quality of public services at the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Pohuwato Regency using the SERVQUAL model, which comprises five dimensions: Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy. This research was conducted in response to persistent public complaints regarding slow service processes, long queues, limited facilities and infrastructure, network disruptions, as well as insufficient information and uncertainty concerning service completion time. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews with Disdukcapil employees and community members, and documentation. The findings indicate that the quality of public services has not yet been optimal. The Tangibles dimension remains weak due to inadequate service facilities. Reliability has not been fully achieved as a result of delays in document issuance and system disruptions. Responsiveness among service officers is inconsistent in addressing public complaints. In terms of Assurance, officers demonstrate adequate professionalism; however, transparency in procedures and service timelines remains inconsistent. Meanwhile, in the Empathy dimension, attention to the community particularly vulnerable groups still needs improvement. Overall, the public services provided by Disdukcapil Pohuwato have not fully met community expectations and require improvements in facilities, staff competence, and the effectiveness of service systems.

Public service and population administration are essential aspects of improving the quality of life in communities. In Canggu Village, there are still challenges regarding access to and understanding of these services, which can hinder active participation in development. The aim of this research is to provide assistance in public service and population administration, as well as to enhance the awareness and knowledge of the people of Canggu Village about their rights and responsibilities. The main issue identified is the low understanding of the community regarding the procedures for population administration and the difficulties in accessing available public services. The methodology used in this study is a participatory approach through socialization activities, training, and direct assistance. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires before and after the assistance activities. The results of this initiative indicate an increase in the community's understanding of population administration and access to public services. Most participants felt more confident in managing the necessary administrative tasks. Additionally, there was an increase in community participation in village government programs

Antenatal Care (ANC) is a health service provided to pregnant women during pregnancy by healthcare professionals in accordance with established standards, one of which is the implementation of the 10T ANC service components. The quality of ANC services plays an important role in determining pregnant women’s satisfaction, which in turn affects their compliance with antenatal visits and the effectiveness of pregnancy monitoring. Maternal satisfaction is an essential indicator for assessing the quality of healthcare services at primary healthcare facilities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between 10T Antenatal Care services and pregnant women’s satisfaction at Biru-Biru Public Health Center in 2025. This research employed a quantitative method with an analytical design using a cross-sectional approach. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, involving 48 third-trimester pregnant women. Data were collected using questionnaires that assessed the implementation of 10T ANC services and the level of maternal satisfaction. The collected data were analyzed statistically to determine the relationship between the variables. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into the importance of optimal implementation of 10T ANC standards. Therefore, healthcare providers, particularly midwives, are encouraged to continuously improve the quality of ANC services to enhance pregnant women’s satisfaction and support efforts to improve maternal and child health outcomes.

This study examines passenger service procedures on the KM Gunung Dempo at PT PELNI's Sorong Branch, specifically related to the efficiency of the embarkation and disembarkation processes.

Using a qualitative descriptive method with a quantitative approach, data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Analysis was conducted by calculating time efficiency and service productivity. The results revealed a time efficiency level of 66.7% (categorized as inefficient), where the actual time reached 180 minutes from the standard of 120 minutes. In addition, staff productivity was only 0.73 passengers/minute, still below the ideal standard (≥ 1 passenger/minute). The main inhibiting factors include a lack of personnel, a manual ticket verification system, minimal terminal facilities, and weak inter-agency coordination.

The Indonesian Navy Academy is a military educational institution that produces cadets to become professional and reliable Indonesian Navy officers. Cadets are required to have strong physical and mental strength to achieve responsiveness, resilience, and resilience in undergoing education, training, and upbringing. To support learning and training activities, quality food intake and service are required. Quality meal service is needed in order to increase the satisfaction of AAL cadets during meal activities in the Hadiwinarso Rds Loungeroom. For this reason, qualified Human Resources are needed to man the Hadiwinarso Rds Loungeroom, namely Cooks and Waiters in improving meal services for cadets. The researcher focused on personnel development and made it as input to optimize the cooks and waiters in the Hadwinarso Rds Loungeroom to improve meal services for cadets. In this study, the SWOT method was used to reveal internal and external factors that influence the performance of Waiters and Cooks. This study is expected to find the right optimization strategy by identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. After conducting a SWOT analysis, a strategy was obtained to optimize Waiters and Cooks with a combination strategy of Weakness-Opportunity in quadrant III. W-O strategy (supporting the Turn-Around strategy) namely the organization faces enormous opportunities, but on the other hand faces several internal obstacles/weaknesses with the focus of the strategy being to minimize internal weaknesses so that it can seize better opportunities. The results of the study show that the W-O Strategy that the author found is Strategy 1: Given training/courses according to their fields so that they can work optimally and acquire new skills, Strategy 2: Cooks and Waiters have experience in supporting protocol activities at AAL well. Working well and having experience is capital to open up opportunities for PHL to be appointed as PNS or promoted to division head/kitchen head by considering the working time and amount of experience during AAL, Strategy 3: AAL needs to have standardization in recruiting workers so that later workers are ready to be placed to work according to their fields and open up opportunities to continue improving skills/abilities through courses/training provided by AAL. Meanwhile, to standardize recruitment, researchers provide specific requirements for job applicants interested in becoming cooks and waiters at the Loungeroom at Rd. S Hadi Winarso

Implementation of the Youth and Youth Service Section (SPRP) Worship Program at the GKE Barimba Congregation in the context of developing the character of Christian teenagers and young people. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data was collected through in-depth interviews with youth and youth leaders who play an active role in development activities at the church. The results of the study revealed various challenges faced by teenagers and young people, such as peer pressure that affects worship motivation, a less engaging atmosphere of togetherness in worship, and differences in age and maturity levels between teenagers and young people that cause emotional distance. Their spiritual needs include relational aspects, a contextual understanding of faith, real spiritual experiences, and the formation of strong moral character to face the challenges of the modern era. Effective development strategies involve the active role of families in spiritual development at home, Christian educators as guides and motivators, the use of interactive learning methods such as Bible-based games and digital media that are relevant to the character of the younger generation, and the implementation of dynamic and creative worship services to increase engagement. The implementation of this program aims to form a strong Christian character and prepare teenagers and young people to become faithful, responsible individuals who are able to serve actively in the church and society. Close synergy between family, church, and education is a key factor in the success of spiritual development of the younger generation amidst rapid social and technological change.

The National Health Insurance Program (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional or JKN) is a government initiative aimed at ensuring equitable, accessible, and affordable healthcare services for all Indonesian citizens. Since its implementation in 2014, the program has covered more than 90% of the population; however, several challenges remain, particularly concerning the quality of services at primary healthcare facilities such as community health centers (puskesmas). This study aims to analyze the quality of JKN services at the Cengkareng Public Health Center, West Jakarta, using the five dimensions of service quality proposed by Parasuraman: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis involving healthcare workers and JKN patients. The findings indicate that the overall service quality at Puskesmas Cengkareng remains suboptimal. The tangibles and assurance dimensions are relatively good, while reliability, responsiveness, and empathy are still lacking. Major complaints include long waiting times, poor doctor–patient communication, and unfriendly staff attitudes. These findings highlight the need for improving human resource professionalism, strengthening service management systems, and conducting periodic evaluations to enhance the overall quality and patient satisfaction among JKN participants.  

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of product completeness (X1) and service quality (X2) on purchasing decisions at PT. Sulo Rantepao, North Toraja. This research uses a quantitative approach with a multiple linear regression method. The data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 97 respondents. The results of the study indicate that partially, the product completeness variable (X1) does not have a significant effect on purchasing decisions, as shown by a significance value of 0.099 > 0.05 with a t-value of 1.667 > t-table value of 1.661. Meanwhile, the service quality variable (X2) is proven to have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a significance value of 0.00 < 0.05 and a t-value of 8.540 > t-table value of 1.661. Simultaneously, product completeness (X1) and service quality (X2) have a significant effect on purchasing decisions (Y), as evidenced by a significance value of 0.00 < 0.05 and an F-value of 77.331 > F-table value of 3.09. The R-squared value of 0.614 indicates that the two independent variables are able to explain 6.14% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 38.6% is influenced by other variables outside this study.

The administration of population services in Rumbai Timur District continues to face challenges following the regional expansion that required residents to update their civil documents. The SIPENDUDUK website was introduced to simplify digital submissions; however, its implementation has not been fully effective. A portion of the community, particularly older adults and individuals with low digital literacy, still struggles to navigate service flows and upload required documents. This study aims to evaluate the service quality of the SIPENDUDUK website in improving the effectiveness of civil administration services. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through observations and interviews with officers and service users. The findings indicate that although the website has facilitated administrative processes, its accessibility has not yet reached all user groups due to varying technological capabilities. The system shows adequate efficiency and stability, although several technical issues remain. Service security is maintained through controlled access and a simplified interface. User support is provided through direct assistance from the local office, including manual guidance and mobile outreach services. These results highlight that the success of digital services depends not only on system quality but also on user readiness. This evaluation is expected to contribute to improving the effectiveness, inclusiveness, and overall quality of population administration services in Rumbai Timur District.

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality on consumer satisfaction at Katorroan Cafe Batutumonga, North Toraja Regency. This research uses a quantitative associative method with a questionnaire as a data collection tool involving 60 respondents who are visitors to the cafe. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis, validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test, simple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing (t-test). The results showed that the service quality at Katorroan Cafe Batutumonga was in the good category, and consumer satisfaction was in the satisfied category. However, the results of the simple linear regression test showed a negative and significant influence of service quality on consumer satisfaction with a regression coefficient of -0.404 and a significance value of 0.000. This indicates that an increase in service quality is paradoxically followed by a decrease in consumer satisfaction in the context of this study. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.195, meaning that service quality contributes 19.5% to consumer satisfaction, while the remaining 80.5% is influenced by other factors outside the study.

Cross-cultural ministry is a tangible manifestation of the Great Commission of Christ, which calls the church to reach all nations without geographical or cultural boundaries. This article describes the experience of spiritual ministry among the diaspora Christian community in the Middle East conducted by a team from the Kerusso Theological Seminary of Indonesia. The activity not only aimed to strengthen the faith of the congregation living under cultural and social pressures but also served as a means of nurturing contextual Christian spirituality and character. Through revival services, Bible teaching, and pastoral accompaniment, the congregation experienced a genuine transformation of faith—from weakness to steadfastness and hope. This study affirms that cross-cultural ministry is not merely a mission activity but a concrete expression of transformative and participatory Christian education. It demonstrates that when ministry is carried out with contextual understanding and empathy, profound spiritual change can occur even amid intercultural challenges.

This study provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between the implementation of administrative ethics and the quality of civil service performance within the framework of good governance principles in Kota Palangka Raya. Employing a qualitative–descriptive approach grounded in literature-based analysis, this research explores various empirical findings related to public service practices, bureaucratic transparency, regional asset management, and the integrity of civil servants. The analysis reveals that administrative ethics have not been fully internalized, as evidenced by persistent delays in service delivery, employee absenteeism, convoluted procedures, low responsiveness, and weak accountability and regulatory compliance. These conditions indicate a substantial gap between ideal ethical standards and actual administrative practices. The findings further confirm that core values of administrative ethics—such as integrity, discipline, responsibility, transparency, and professionalism—play a determinant role in realizing good governance principles, including transparency, effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, and the rule of law. This study asserts that strengthening administrative ethics is a strategic prerequisite for improving civil service quality and restoring public trust. The implications highlight the need for continuous capacity-building, enhanced integrity among civil servants, and strengthened oversight mechanisms to establish an equitable, accountable, and citizen-oriented system of governance.

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, product quality, price perception, and Word of Mouth on eyeglass purchasing decisions at Optik Anugerah Nganjuk. The background of this study is based on the increasing business competition in the optical sector and the increasing consumer awareness of the value, price, and quality of the products they consume. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population in this study were all consumers of Optik Anugerah Nganjuk, with a sample of 88 respondents determined using a specific sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires compiled based on a Likert scale. The obtained data were analyzed using multiple linear regression methods to determine the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results of the study indicate that partially service quality, price perception, and Word of Mouth have a significant effect on purchasing decisions, while product quality has no significant effect. However, simultaneously, all four independent variables have a significant effect on purchasing decisions. The findings of this study are expected to be strategic considerations for optical managers in improving service quality and the effectiveness of marketing strategies.

This study examines the interrelationship between the implementation of administrative ethics in civil service, the professionalism of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and the quality of public service delivery at the Provincial Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Central Kalimantan, employing a qualitative case study approach. Through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis, the research finds that integrity, transparency, and ethical accountability function not merely as moral norms but as structural foundations that reinforce ASN professionalism in performing service functions, particularly within licensing processes that demand administrative certainty and responsiveness. Empirical findings indicate that professionalism—reflected in technical competence, procedural discipline, and ethical commitment—acts as a catalyst linking ethical values to effective and adaptive public service performance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies structural and cultural impediments, including regulatory inconsistencies, fragmented coordination, and limited training opportunities, all of which hinder the internalization of ethical principles and professional practice within the bureaucracy. Theoretically, the study posits that harmonizing administrative ethics and professionalism is a prerequisite for achieving key indicators of good governance, such as responsiveness, service effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Practically, the study recommends strengthening ethics training, enhancing ASN professional capacity, and advancing managerial reforms grounded in modern governance as strategic efforts to sustainably improve public service quality.
