Caring behavior is the core of high-quality nursing services. In practice, it is influenced by various psychological factors and work-related stress. Self-compassion and mindfulness are believed to help nurses maintain emotional balance in delivering empathetic and humane nursing care. This study aims to analyze the effect of self-compassion and mindfulness on nurses’ caring behavior, with work stress as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. Descriptive analysis employed the Three Box Method, while inferential analysis used SEM-PLS. The study population consisted of all nurses at Cilincing District General Hospital (N = 113), using total sampling. The results of the study indicate that the proposed model is considered fit (p = 0.133) and appropriate for testing the influence of self-compassion and mindfulness on caring behavior, with work stress as a mediating variable. Self-compassion has a significant positive effect on caring behavior (p = 0.000), while mindfulness does not have a direct effect (p = 0.891), but shows a significant indirect effect through the reduction of work stress (p = 0.044). Both self-compassion (p = 0.029) and mindfulness (p = 0.000) negatively affect work stress. Interestingly, work stress positively influences caring behavior (p = 0.030). To enhance the influence of self-compassion and mindfulness on caring behavior, hospitals should develop psychological intervention programs based on self-compassion and mindfulness to help nurses manage stress and strengthen caring practices. A systemic approach that considers organizational factors is also necessary to support the consistent implementation of caring behavior.

Patient loyalty is an important indicator of success in healthcare services because it reflects patients’ tendency to reuse healthcare services and recommend them to others.

This study aims to analyze the effect of doctor availability and cost bearer on patient loyalty with patient experience as a mediating variable among patients at the Dental Clinic of Hermina Galaxy Hospital.This research used a quantitative approach with a survey design. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale from 150 patients at the Dental Clinic of Hermina Galaxy Hospital selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of AMOS software to examine both direct and indirect relationships among the research variables.The results showed that doctor availability and cost bearer have a positive and significant effect on patient experience. Patient experience was also found to have a positive and significant effect on patient loyalty. In addition, doctor availability and cost bearer have a direct influence on patient loyalty and an indirect influence through patient experience as a mediating variable.In conclusion, improving patient loyalty can be achieved by enhancing doctor availability, managing financing systems effectively, and creating positive patient experiences. Hospital management should optimize these factors to improve service quality and maintain patient loyalty

Compliance with clinical pathways is a critical component in ensuring quality of care, patient safety, and cost efficiency in hospitals. However, its implementation continues to face challenges related to management systems and the work behavior of Healthcare Providers (HCPs). This study aimed to analyze the effect of performance-based remuneration systems and organizational support on clinical pathway compliance, with work discipline serving as an intervening variable among HCPs at Cabangbungin Regional General Hospital.This research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach, supported by the three-box method analysis. The findings indicate that performance-based remuneration systems and work discipline have a significant positive effect on clinical pathway compliance. Furthermore, work discipline was found to strengthen the relationship between performance-based remuneration and compliance, confirming its mediating role. In contrast, organizational support did not show a significant direct or indirect effect on clinical pathway compliance.The study concludes that compliance with clinical pathways is more strongly influenced by performance control mechanisms and clinical work discipline than by general organizational support. These findings provide evidence-based insights for hospital management in designing sustainable strategies and policies to enhance clinical pathway adherence and improve service quality.

The healthcare sector is increasingly confronted with a VUCA environment (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity), requiring hospitals to adopt adaptive, resilient, and innovative strategies. This study aims to systematically review the evidence on smart hospital strategies in responding to uncertainty, particularly in improving service quality, operational efficiency, and patient satisfaction. A systematic literature review was conducted using major academic databases, including Scopus-indexed sources, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar, covering publications from 2020 to 2026. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria focusing on hospital management strategies in dynamic and uncertain environments. A total of 10–15 relevant studies were included and analyzed using thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that key strategies in addressing VUCA challenges include digital transformation (e.g., electronic medical records and telemedicine), adaptive and transformational leadership, agile management approaches, and patient-centered care. Digital technologies significantly improve efficiency and decision-making processes, while agile and adaptive leadership enhances organizational responsiveness and resilience. However, several studies highlight that technological advancement alone is insufficient without integrating humanistic values such as empathy, communication, and trust. In conclusion, the most effective hospital strategies in a VUCA world are those that integrate technological innovation with human-centered care. Hospitals must develop flexible, data-driven, and patient-oriented systems to ensure sustainability and competitiveness in uncertain environments. Future research should focus on longitudinal and experimental designs to strengthen causal evidence and explore the integration of digital systems with humanistic healthcare values.

Prescription waiting time is a key indicator of pharmacy service quality that directly influences patient satisfaction and hospital efficiency. Data from the Outpatient Pharmacy Installation of Pelabuhan Jakarta Hospital show average waiting times of 30.49 minutes for non-compounded medications and 35.93 minutes for compounded medications. Although these figures are still within national standards, they have not met the hospital’s internal targets, indicating inefficiencies that require systematic improvement.This study aimed to analyze prescription waiting times and identify waste in outpatient pharmacy services using Lean Hospital and Continuous Improvement approaches. A qualitative analytical method with a case study design was applied. Data collection involved participatory observation, in-depth interviews with key informants (head of pharmacy, pharmacists, and technicians), and document review. Analysis utilized Lean tools such as Value Stream Mapping (VSM), identification of Value Added (VA) and Non-Value Added (NVA) activities, bottleneck analysis, fishbone diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).The findings revealed that service processes were dominated by non-value-added activities, especially during prescription receipt, verification, packaging, and dispensing. Major wastes included waiting, motion, and overprocessing. Contributing factors were uneven staff distribution, suboptimal e-prescribing systems, incomplete prescriptions, and lack of standardized procedures. The proposed future state VSM demonstrated potential improvements in reducing waiting time and enhancing service efficiency.

This research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the complex dynamics termed the "Digital Bureaucracy Paradox," a phenomenon that emerged significantly following the implementation of the Work From Anywhere (WFA) policy within the Regional Secretariat of Sorong City. The primary focus this study lies in the strategic dilemma faced by visionary leadership in balancing modern flexible work patterns with the obligation to enforce Civil Servant (ASN) discipline, which has historically been conventional and rigid. Amidst massive digital transformation, local-level bureaucracy is forced to adapt to work models requiring high agility, while simultaneously remaining bound by formalistic disciplinary regulatory standards. Quantitative findings indicate that although digital platforms have been effective as instruments for work instructions, the effectiveness visual supervision remains irreplaceable in maintaining the integrity of working hours, particularly regarding low scores in separating personal and professional matters during WFA. Conversely, submissions the E-Kinerja (E-Performance) system show very high level of administrative compliance, yet do not fully guarantee the quality of substantive outputs. Statistical analysis confirms that adaptive digital leadership has decisive influence on the successful implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). These findings offer  theoretical contribution to the study of bureaucratic behaviour within digital ecosystems and provide practical recommendations for redefining the ASN discipline from formalistic patterns toward a result-based substantive discipline. The synergy between visionary leadership and the strengthening of bottom-up accountability mechanisms through public participation is expected to realise a governance framework that is not only technologically modern but also functionally accountable in the post-pandemic era.

Employee engagement is a critical factor in enhancing organizational performance, including in public sector organizations such as state-owned enterprises (BUMN). Low leadership inspiration, suboptimal work systems, and insufficient organizational support can reduce employee engagement levels. This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership, high performance work system (HPWS), and perceived organizational support (POS) on employee engagement. A quantitative research method with a survey design was employed. Data were collected through valid and reliable questionnaires from the entire employee population, using proportional random sampling, resulting in a sample of 100 respondents. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationships. The results indicate that transformational leadership, HPWS, and POS have a positive and significant effect on employee engagement. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening transformational leadership, implementing high-performance work systems, and providing consistent organizational support to enhance employee engagement. Managerial recommendations include improving leadership quality, competency-based workforce planning, and developing reward systems along with a collaborative and appreciative work culture.

This research aims to analyse the role of archives as agents of change in the digital transformation of archives and as catalysts for bureaucratic reform in the era of digital government at the Sorong City Regional Secretariat. The research used a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative survey of 30 respondents with in-depth interviews with five key informants, and analysed the data using correlation statistics and thematic analysis. The study's results show that the digital transformation of archives is closely linked to bureaucratic reform and digital governance, and qualitative findings confirm that digitisation improves administrative efficiency, data integration, and organisational accountability. The research highlights the importance of strengthening technological infrastructure, integrating information systems, and improving the competence of the apparatus as prerequisites for the success of the digital transformation of archives. This study has limitations in its scope, involving only one local government agency and a relatively small number of respondents. Therefore, further research is recommended to broaden the scope, incorporate public service quality variables, and use a longitudinal design to examine the long-term impact of archive digitisation on the performance of bureaucratic reform and digital governance more comprehensively. These findings also provide practical contributions for local governments in designing integrated, sustainable electronic archive management policies that support effective, transparent, and responsive public services to meet the needs of modern society in the future, as well as strengthening data-driven governance.  

The quality of educational research is strongly influenced by the accuracy in defining the research population and selecting appropriate sampling procedures. Proper determination of population and sample is essential to ensure that research findings are valid and can be generalized to a broader context. However, many educational studies still provide limited and unsystematic explanations regarding how populations are defined, how samples are selected, and how sample sizes are determined in the research design. This lack of methodological clarity may reduce the credibility and reliability of research results. This study aims to examine the concepts of population and sample, various sampling techniques, and their implications for improving the quality of educational research. The study employed a literature review approach by synthesizing scientific articles and methodological references published within the last ten years that discuss population and sampling in educational research. The results of the review indicate that clearly defining the research population, including both target and accessible populations, is a fundamental step in designing a study. Furthermore, the use of appropriate sampling techniques, such as simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling, plays an important role in obtaining representative samples. Determining an adequate sample size and implementing systematic sampling procedures can also reduce potential research bias and enhance data validity. Therefore, accurate population identification and appropriate sampling design are essential factors in strengthening the reliability and generalizability of educational research findings.

The waiting time for outpatient pharmacy services at Permata Jonggol Hospital had not met the minimum service standards, potentially reducing service quality and patient satisfaction.

The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected at a single point in time using instruments that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that HR competence, service regulations, and HMIS utilization simultaneously had a significant effect on pharmacy waiting time. Partially, HR competence and service regulations significantly affected HMIS utilization and waiting time. HMIS utilization also significantly influenced waiting time and mediated the relationship between HR competence, service regulations, and pharmacy waiting time. In conclusion, improving pharmacists’ competence, strengthening service regulations, and optimizing HMIS utilization in an integrated manner were important strategies to reduce waiting time and improve service efficiency and quality

21st-century skills are a crucial aspect that students must master, equipping them to face the challenges of modern development. In history learning, the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is considered a powerful tool for transforming learning from rote memorization to active, problem-solving-based learning. This study aims to analyze the role of PBL in enhancing 21st-century skills in history learning through the Problem-Based Learning (SLR) approach. The research method used in this study is the SLR with a prism procedure. The data were obtained from a search of scientific articles through Google Scholar using the keywords Problem-Based Learning, 21st-Century Skills, and history learning. From the initial 2,540 articles obtained, after screening based on relevance, quality, and year range, six key articles were obtained. The study results indicate that PBL is effective in enhancing 21st-century skills through discussions, historical source analysis, and contextual problem-solving. This approach is considered appropriate for the curriculum because it encourages student-centered learning, rather than teacher-centered learning. Although PBL still faces several challenges in its implementation, it remains a relevant and effective learning strategy for developing 21st-century skills.

Drug stockouts in hospitals pose significant risks to service quality, patient safety, and operational efficiency.
