Background: Contraception is an effective method for controlling fertility and reducing the risk of unintended pregnancies. However, the utilization of long-term contraceptive methods remains relatively low. Several factors such as education level, parity, and age are believed to influence women’s decisions in choosing Contraception. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the influence of education, parity, and age on the use of Contraception. Methods: This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 30 women of reproductive age selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test to determine the association between education, parity, age, and the use of Contraception. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between education level, parity, and age with the use of Contraception. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.003 (p < 0.05), indicating that education, parity, and age significantly influenced the use of long-term contraceptive methods. Conclusion: Education level, parity, and age have a significant influence on the use of Contraception. Improving health education and counseling regarding long-term contraceptive methods is essential to increase their utilization among women of reproductive age.

This research try to examine how investment choices in property and real estate sector businesses listed on IDX (2020-2024) are impacted by the cost of debt and equity.For the accuracy of the analysis, this study also uses firm size and profitability as controler. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, which produced seven qualifying organizations with a total of 35 observations over a five-year period. Panel data regression was used for data analysis, and the Common Effect Model was shown to be the best estimation model. The findings show that investment decisions are significantly influenced by firm size, profitability, cost of debt, and cost of equity all at the same time. Nonetheless, investment choices are not much impacted by the cost of debt. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that the cost of equity has no appreciable effect on the capital expenditures of the businesses. Firm size has a favorable and substantial impact, making it the main motivator for investment activity in the real estate industry. During the study period, investment decisions were not significantly impacted by profitability. These results show that, especially in the post-pandemic economic recovery era, asset capacity and economies of scale are more important for the viability of real investment projects for property firms on the IDX than yearly variations in capital costs.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure, profitability, and firm size on firm value at PT Tiga Pilar Sejahtera Food Tbk during the period 2015–2024. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. Prior to hypothesis testing, classical assumption tests were conducted, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests. The results indicate that capital structure has a positive and significant effect on firm value. Meanwhile, profitability and firm size do not have a significant effect on firm value. Simultaneously, capital structure, profitability, and firm size do not significantly affect firm value. These findings indicate that the explanatory power of the regression model is limited, which may be influenced by the relatively small sample size and the presence of other factors outside the research model that affect firm value.

The contribution of review content and customer ratings is 247% (as indicated by an Adjusted R Square value of 0.247), while the rest is influenced by other variables or factors outside the scope of this study. This research indicates that review content and customer ratings have both a partial and simultaneous effect on the trust of Uniwara Economics students in skincare products.

Abortion is one of the pregnancy complications that still contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in the early trimester of pregnancy. Various maternal factors play a role in the occurrence of abortion, one of which is parity which reflects a mother's reproductive history. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parity and the incidence of abortion at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital. The study used a quantitative approach with observational analytical design and cross-sectional design. The study population was all pregnant women who received obstetrics services at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital during the study period. Samples were taken using a total sampling technique, so that all pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The independent variable is parity, while the dependent variable is the incidence of abortion. Data were obtained from medical records and analyzed univariately to describe the characteristics of respondents, and bivariously using Chi-square test or Fisher Exact Test in accordance with the fulfillment of statistical requirements. The results showed that most of the respondents were in active reproductive age and first to second trimester pregnancy, with considerable parity variations. Bivariate analysis showed that parity did not have a statistically significant relationship with abortion incidence. The conclusion of this study shows that the incidence of abortion is not influenced by parity alone, but is likely influenced by the interaction of various other maternal factors. Therefore, abortion risk screening in antenatal services needs to be carried out comprehensively by considering various pregnancy risk factors.

Nursing care documentation is crucial for service quality and patient safety, but incomplete and inconsistent documentation remains a challenge in hospitals. This study focuses on nurses at Medika Lestari Hospital, where documentation compliance is below expectations. The aim is to analyze how organizational commitment and supervision affect nursing care documentation, with work motivation as an intervening variable. A quantitative cross-sectional design with a structural model approach was used, and data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results show that organizational commitment positively impacts documentation compliance (β = 0.268; p = 0.013), highlighting the importance of nurses’ attachment to organizational goals. Supervision, however, has no significant direct effect on documentation (β = 0.220; p = 0.109). Both organizational commitment (β = 0.285; p = 0.018) and supervision (β = 0.382; p = 0.000) significantly influence work motivation, indicating that managerial control and organizational attachment contribute to motivation. However, work motivation does not significantly affect documentation (β = 0.231; p = 0.053) and does not mediate the effects of commitment or supervision on compliance. In conclusion, improvements in documentation are primarily driven by organizational commitment rather than motivational or supervisory factors. Hospital management should focus on enhancing nurses’ organizational commitment and aligning supervisory practices with institutional values to improve documentation compliance sustainably.

This study aims to examine the effect of reproductive health education on adolescent knowledge as an indicator of sexual behavior prevention among students of SMA Negeri 11 Tidore Kepulauan. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-post-intervention design involving 28 adolescent respondents. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured respondents' age characteristics and knowledge levels before and after the reproductive health education intervention. Descriptive statistical analysis and frequency distribution were used to describe the respondents' characteristics, while the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was applied to analyze differences in knowledge levels before and after the intervention. The results showed that all data were valid with no missing values, and most respondents were aged 15-16 years. Before the intervention, respondents' knowledge levels varied, with the majority classified as having moderate knowledge. After the intervention, all respondents achieved a good level of knowledge, indicating a uniform increase. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test revealed a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-intervention knowledge levels (Z = −4.001; p < 0.000), with no respondents experiencing a decrease in knowledge. These findings suggest that reproductive health education has a significant and positive impact on improving adolescent knowledge, which is crucial for encouraging healthier and more responsible sexual behavior among adolescents.

This study aims to analyze the evolution of Islamic civilization within the cultural landscape of Southeast Asia through a comparative study between Indonesia and Patani, Thailand. The research employs a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design based on literature review, examining the historical, social, cultural, and political developments of both regions. The findings reveal that the development of Islamic civilization in Indonesia occurred through an inclusive and adaptive process of cultural acculturation. Islamic values were integrated with local traditions, creating a moderate and harmonious religious pattern within society. In contrast, the development of Islam in Patani took place under conditions of political marginalization and state pressure, which fostered cultural resistance and strengthened the religious identity of the Malay Muslim community. These differences indicate that socio-political structures play a significant role in shaping the dynamics of Islamic civilization. The study confirms that Islam as a civilization is flexible and adaptable to different cultural environments; however, the form of adaptation is strongly influenced by power relations, social conditions, and local political contexts. This research is expected to enrich the study of Islamic civilization in Southeast Asia through a comparative approach that integrates cultural and political dimensions more comprehensively.

This study aims to analyze the quality of room attendant service based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at the Lorin Solo Hotel and identify factors influencing its implementation. The research method used a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and analysis of guest reviews.The results indicate that the implementation of SOPs has been successful, particularly in terms of room cleanliness, linen changes, replenishment of amenities, checking facilities, and friendly service. However, during periods of high occupancy, obstacles were encountered such as limited staff, limited cleaning time, and delays in replenishing amenities. Internal factors (skills, training, work motivation) and external factors (occupancy rate, guest demand, facility condition) influence service quality.This study concludes that the implementation of SOPs at the Lorin Solo Hotel has been successful, but needs improvement in time management, additional staff during busy periods, and regular training to maintain consistent service quality. These recommendations are expected to help the hotel improve service standards and maintain guest satisfaction.

The results showed that most of the respondents had good behavior (60.8%), positive attitudes (70.1%), good knowledge (45.4%), exposure to the media (57.7%), and were not influenced by friends (54.6%). There was a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.000), attitude (p = 0.010), media exposure (p = 0.012), and peer influence (p = 0.005) with student behavior. This study recommends improving campus education related to the impact of styrofoam and encouraging the use of environmentally friendly packaging.

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 study aims to analyze the impact of the family environment on effective communication skills in early childhood.
