Social support is defined as an individual’s perception of the availability and presence of assistance derived from three primary sources, namely family, friends, and individuals considered significant others. This concept emphasizes the subjective evaluation of the quantity and quality of support perceived by individuals, rather than the actual support provided. This study aims to examine the construct validity of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) developed by Zimet et al. (1988), which has been adapted into the Indonesian language. The MSPSS instrument is designed to measure the extent to which individuals perceive social support received from family, friends, and significant others in their lives. Research participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, with inclusion criteria consisting of active university students aged between 18 and 27 years. A total of 279 students participated in this study. The research employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through an online questionnaire administered via Google Forms and distributed through various social media platforms. Data analysis was conducted using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the assistance of Jamovi software.

Ibnu Sina Yarsi Islamic Hospital Padang Panjang plays a crucial role in providing medical services to the community. However, challenges such as inadequate facilities, limited service space, and insufficient healthcare personnel have led to long queue times and schedule mismatches, adversely affecting patient satisfaction. This study analyzes strategies to improve service quality at the hospital using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving management, medical staff, and patients. Data validity was ensured by triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that strategies focusing on human resource development programs, performance-based budget management, and consistent application of standard operating procedures (SOP) have been implemented effectively. Despite this, limitations in human resources, budget, and physical infrastructure hinder optimal results. Strengthening internal capacity and resource optimization are necessary to achieve sustainable improvements in service quality.

Enthusiasm for learning is one of the important indicators of student involvement in the learning process. However, high enthusiasm is not always followed by consistent learning behavior. This study aims to describe the learning enthusiasm of students at SMAN 2 Pandeglang, analyze the causes of students who have high enthusiasm but have difficulty maintaining learning consistency, and identify factors that affect these conditions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The subject of the study was a student of class X of SMAN 2 Pandeglang who showed high enthusiasm for learning but was not consistent in his learning habits. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, with the validity of the data tested through triangulation. The results of the study showed that students had high enthusiasm which was evident from their activeness in class, interest in certain subjects, and involvement in extracurricular activities. However, learning consistency is still low due to internal factors such as unstable time management and concentration, as well as external factors in the form of a learning environment and the use of gadgets. This research confirms that enthusiasm is the initial capital of learning, while consistency is the key to sustainable academic success.
