The hospital operating room is one of the most crucial facilities in health services, so it requires a stable, reliable, and uninterrupted electricity supply to ensure patient safety and smooth medical procedures. The slightest electrical outage can pose a major risk, given that almost all vital medical equipment in the operating room relies on an electrical power supply. Therefore, the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system has an important role as a backup solution to ensure the continuity of electrical energy. This study aims to analyze the performance, capacity, and burden of UPS at Siti Fatimah Palembang Hospital using quantitative methods. Data was obtained through direct observation, interviews with technicians, technical documentation, and measurement of current and load power with standard-compliant measuring equipment. The focus of the analysis was directed at the Online Double Conversion type UPS with a capacity of 20 kVA which functions as the main supplier of backup electricity in the three operating rooms. The measurement results show that the total load reaches 8,855.5 VA or equivalent to 44.2% of the total capacity of the UPS. This load comes from 24 units of vital medical equipment, including operating lights, patient monitors, ventilators, anesthesia machines, and electrosurgical devices spread evenly across three operating rooms. With a power factor of 0.92 and a measurement current of 39.8 A, the performance of the UPS is quite efficient and safe to use. This shows that UPS capacity still has spare space to bear additional loads in the event of an increase in the number of medical equipment in the future. The conclusion of this study is that UPS at Siti Fatimah Palembang Hospital is able to work optimally in maintaining the stability of power supply, so that it can ensure the continuity of critical medical services in the operating room.

The increasing number of mental health disorders in various countries has created an urgent need for innovation in the diagnosis and treatment process. This problem not only impacts individuals' quality of life but also creates a significant social and economic burden. One solution that is beginning to be widely researched is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of mental health. This research used a literature review of various previous studies discussing the role, application, and impact of AI. The results of the review indicate that AI technology, particularly in the form of digital applications such as chatbots, has great potential to support the recovery process for patients with mental disorders. AI-based chatbots can provide responsive, two-way interactions, so users feel heard and receive initial emotional support. One technical approach used is Natural Language Processing (NLP), which enables the system to understand natural human language. Simultaneously, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms are used to analyze language patterns and detect symptoms of depression more accurately. Various studies have reported that the application of NLP and LSTM can improve the reliability of diagnoses and provide responses tailored to user needs. Furthermore, AI can provide personalized recommendations, tailor interventions to the user's condition, and monitor mental health developments in real time. This has the potential to assist mental health practitioners in making faster and more informed decisions. However, the adoption of AI among practitioners remains relatively low. Influencing factors include limited technological understanding, limited infrastructure, and debates over ethical aspects and data privacy. Therefore, while AI has significant potential to improve the quality of mental health services, regulations, ethical guidelines, and synergy between technology and healthcare professionals are needed to ensure safe and effective implementation.

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a disease that attacks the respiratory system and is classified as an infectious disease. This disease can be caused by various types of microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, or fungi, but most cases of ARI are caused by viral infections. ARI includes conditions such as the common cold, bronchitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia. In developing countries, ARI is a leading cause of death, especially in children under the age of five. Lack of access to health services, poor sanitation, and malnutrition are factors that contribute to this condition. Therefore, efforts to prevent and treat ARI are crucial, both through conventional and alternative medicine. One herbal plant that has long been used in complementary therapy for ARI is Echinacea, which comes from the flowering plant Echinacea purpurea and is native to the United States. Echinacea is believed to have immunostimulant properties, meaning it can stimulate the immune system, thereby helping to prevent and accelerate the healing of upper respiratory tract infections. Several studies have shown that the use of Echinacea can reduce the duration and severity of ARI symptoms, as well as reduce the risk of recurrent infections. However, research findings on the effectiveness and safety of Echinacea continue to show significant variation. Some clinical trials report significant benefits, while others find no significant effect compared to placebo. Therefore, a systematic review aims to gather the latest evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of Echinacea in the treatment and prevention of acute respiratory infections (ARI). This approach is expected to yield stronger and more reliable conclusions to support the use of Echinacea as a safe and effective alternative therapy.

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are critical indicators in assessing the quality of public health services. In 2024, both MMR and IMR in Lamongan Regency remained relatively high, indicating the need for strengthened health interventions. Health workers, especially midwives, play a vital role in improving maternal and child health. One of the government’s strategies to reduce maternal and infant mortality is expanding midwife service coverage at primary health facilities and ensuring the presence of village midwives as the frontline providers across the region. Village midwives are expected to meet established service standards to ensure the quality of maternal and child health care. Service effectiveness and efficiency are commonly measured through indicators such as first antenatal visit coverage (K1), fourth antenatal visit coverage (K4), postpartum visit coverage (KF3), and delivery assistance by health workers. However, in Lamongan Regency, the performance of village midwives has not been optimal, with several indicators falling short of set performance targets.This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the quality of work life and the performance of village midwives in Lamongan Regency in 2025. The research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design. The study population comprised all village midwives in Lamongan Regency, with a sample of 80 respondents selected randomly. The independent variable in this study was the quality of work life, while the dependent variable was village midwife performance. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. The results showed no significant relationship between the quality of work life and the performance of village midwives in Lamongan Regency in 2025. These findings suggest that other factors beyond work life quality may influence midwives’ performance.  

Health problems are a major problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. The Community Health Center (Puskesmas) is a first-level health service facility that organizes and coordinates promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and/or palliative health services in its working area. The purpose of this study is to understand the function of Puskesmas management in assessing the performance of Puskesmas in the working area of ​​the Mantup Puskesmas. The type of research used is qualitative descriptive research, the location of the study is the Mantup Puskesmas, Mantup District, Lamongan Regency, the informants in this study were the head of the Puskesmas, the person in charge of cluster 1, the person in charge of cluster 2, the person in charge of cluster 3, the person in charge of cluster 4 and the person in charge of cross-cluster Puskesmas Mantup. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation and document searches, data analysis techniques using data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions. The results of the research for planning at the Mantup Puskesmas have been implemented well. Organizational efforts have been suboptimal, as some sub-health centers only have midwives as regional supervisors. Implementation is suboptimal due to limited staffing at sub-health centers. Supervision at Mantup Health Center has been functioning well and is being implemented regularly, but performance data is not yet available.Timely input into the existing application, considering the large number of applications that must be completed by service officers and program implementers at the Mantup Community Health Center. Suggestions included establishing a regional development team at the Assistant Community Health Center to optimize village activities, advising the Health Office on integrating health service applications at the Community Health Center, and innovations to improve Community Health Center performance.  

This study analyzes the health financing system in Indonesia from a human rights perspective, particularly after the enactment of Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health and Minister of Health Regulation No. 18 of 2022 concerning the Implementation of One Data in the Health Sector. These two regulations reflect the state's commitment to strengthening the national health system based on the principles of justice, transparency, and the fulfillment of citizens' constitutional rights to quality, equitable, and sustainable health services. Through a qualitative approach using document analysis of relevant regulations, policies, and academic literature, this study identifies a paradigmatic transformation in health financing, from merely a fiscal mechanism to a strategic instrument for guaranteeing human rights in the health sector. The results show that despite normative and institutional progress, the implementation of the health financing system still faces several challenges. These challenges include aspects of the community's economic accessibility to health services, limitations in transparency and accountability in fund management, and inequality in the distribution of financial resources between regions. In addition, funding sustainability and dependence on certain funding sources are also issues that need to be addressed. In response to these challenges, this study recommends three main strategies: (1) strengthening the integration and interoperability of financing data through the One Health Data system, (2) diversifying funding sources by involving the private sector, philanthropy, and other innovative schemes, and (3) reorienting health budget allocations to favor vulnerable groups and underdeveloped regions. These efforts are expected to encourage the realization of a fair, transparent, and sustainable health financing system within the framework of fulfilling human rights in Indonesia.

Nutritional problems in toddlers remain a major challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas such as Paga Village, Sikka Regency. Nutritional problems are not only caused by a lack of nutritious food intake but are also exacerbated by the high incidence of infectious diseases, inadequate parenting, low public nutrition knowledge, limited access to health services, and low socioeconomic conditions. These factors directly and indirectly impact children's nutritional status. One intervention effort that can be implemented to address this problem is through the provision of locally-based food supplements (PMT), which aims to improve children's nutritional intake and encourage food independence and sustainable family nutritional security. This study aims to determine the effect of providing locally-based food supplements as a nutritional intervention on improving the nutritional status of toddlers experiencing malnutrition. The research method used was an observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design approach. The sample in this study were toddlers with malnutrition status who received an intervention in the form of local food-based PMT. The results showed an improvement in nutritional status in toddlers after receiving PMT. A total of 46 toddlers who were initially malnourished experienced an improvement to normal nutritional status after the intervention. These results indicate that providing locally-based food supplements has a positive effect on the nutritional status of toddlers. In conclusion, local food-based PMT has proven effective as a nutritional intervention in improving the nutritional status of toddlers in Paga Village. Such programs need to be further developed and supported by various parties to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in the community and strengthen local food self-sufficiency.

This study aims to examine the legal aspects of the Aceh People's Health Insurance Program (JKRA) by analyzing it as a hybrid between an insurance agreement and a social insurance agreement. The method used is a normative juridical approach, with qualitative analysis based on relevant laws and legal concepts. Data sources consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that JKRA has two main characteristics. On the one hand, JKRA fulfills the elements of an insurance agreement, such as the existence of an insurer and an insured, premium payments, protection against risks, and the uncertainty of insured events. On the other hand, JKRA also reflects the characteristics of social insurance, namely being mandatory, non-profit-oriented, managed by the government, and applying the principle of mutual cooperation through a cross-subsidy mechanism. This dual character indicates that JKRA is a unique form of regional health insurance scheme that integrates private and social approaches. However, in its implementation, there are a number of legal issues that require serious attention. Some of the main problems found include the need for regulatory harmonization between JKRA and the National Health Insurance (JKN), ensuring the sustainability of funding through the Aceh Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBA), and alignment with national health policies, especially after the enactment of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024. Therefore, comprehensive legal regulations are needed so that the implementation of JKRA can run optimally and in line with the integrated national health insurance system, ensuring the sustainability of health services for the people of Aceh in a fair and sustainable manner.

The implementation of digitalization in the healthcare sector through the Integrated Referral sistem (Sistem Informasi Rujukan Terintegrasi/SISRUTE) offers significant opportunities to expand access and improve the quality of healthcare services, especially in remote and underserved areas of Indonesia. This paper aims to analyze the challenges of implementing SISRUTE from a legal perspective, focusing on the principle of equitable healthcare access. The study uses a normative juridical approach combined with literature analysis, examining national regulations, including Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, Government Regulation No. 47 of 2021 on Hospital Administration, and supporting ministerial policies. The research identifies several barriers that hinder the effectiveness of SISRUTE implementation, such as uneven distribution of digital infrastructure, limited internet connectivity, lack of adequately trained healthcare personnel, and the absence of supporting local regulations that align with national policy frameworks. These challenges create disparities in the utilization of SISRUTE, particularly in rural and remote areas, undermining the constitutional mandate for equal access to health services. From a legal standpoint, the principle of equity in healthcare has yet to be fully realized through SISRUTE due to these systemic gaps. The study concludes that strategic efforts are needed to improve intergovernmental coordination, harmonize health and digital regulations, strengthen healthcare workers' digital competencies, and invest in robust infrastructure development. Only through an integrated legal, technological, and human resource approach can SISRUTE fulfill its intended function in supporting a fair, inclusive, and effective healthcare referral system nationwide. This paper contributes to ongoing discourse on legal reforms for digital health equity in Indonesia.

This study employs a normative juridical approach to examine the legal aspects of implementing financial technology (fintech) in healthcare financing in Indonesia. The rapid development of fintech offers potential solutions for addressing financial barriers in healthcare access. However, it also presents legal and regulatory challenges, particularly concerning consumer protection, data privacy, and institutional coordination. The analysis focuses on several key legal instruments, including Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE), Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health and its implementing regulation, Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024, and Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection. Additionally, regulations issued by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), which govern the operations of fintech companies in Indonesia, are also considered. The findings indicate that while there is a growing regulatory framework supporting fintech integration into the health sector, several gaps remain, particularly in terms of coordination between regulatory bodies and stakeholders in health and finance. The study identifies the need for comprehensive policy harmonization to ensure that fintech-based healthcare financing systems are secure, transparent, and inclusive. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of strengthening data protection mechanisms and enhancing regulatory oversight, especially for fintech services operating in partnership with healthcare providers. As fintech continues to reshape the landscape of healthcare financing, robust legal safeguards must be developed to mitigate potential risks and ensure equitable access to health services. The study concludes by recommending an integrated legal and institutional approach to support the safe and ethical implementation of fintech in Indonesia's healthcare sector.

Minister of Health Regulation No. 269 of 2008 explains that medical records are defined as a collection of documents containing complete information regarding patient identity, examination results, therapy, medical procedures, and health services received. In working, an employee should be able to balance their workload to achieve work harmony that contributes to increased productivity. Job satisfaction reflects the appreciation and comfort felt by an individual for the tasks they perform. Conversely, dissatisfaction at work can trigger negative reactions in the form of aggressive behavior or a tendency to withdraw from social interactions around them. Job satisfaction also greatly influences employee motivation and commitment to continue working with enthusiasm and achieve the desired goals. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between workload and job satisfaction with employee performance in the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe in 2023. The research method was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe from September to December 2023. The study population was 40 Medical Records Installation employees. The sampling technique used total sampling, namely 40 respondents. Data analysis used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The results of the study based on the chi-square test showed a relationship between workload and employee performance at the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe with a p-value = 0.001 <0.05 and a relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance at the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe with a p-value = 0.000 <0.05. Conclusion; The conclusion in the study is that there is a relationship between workload and job satisfaction with employee performance at the Medical Records Installation of Cut Meutia Hospital, Lhokseumawe in 2023.

Hypertension is a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure, where the systolic pressure exceeds 140 mmHg and the diastolic pressure exceeds 90 mmHg. If not properly treated, hypertension can lead to severe complications, increased morbidity, and even mortality. This condition occurs when the heart works harder than usual to pump blood (systolic) and the blood flow returning to the heart (diastolic) also experiences increased pressure. One of the efforts to prevent the progression of hypertension from a primary to a secondary stage is through non-pharmacological treatments. One such treatment includes the use of natural remedies like celery leaves. Celery leaves contain active compounds such as flavonoids and potassium that are believed to help lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the excretion of sodium through urine.This community service activity was carried out in Purwodadi Village and aimed to increase public awareness, especially among families, regarding hypertension and its non-pharmacological management using natural ingredients that are easy to find and affordable. The method used involved health education through counseling and direct demonstrations of how to prepare and consume celery leaf boiled water. Participants were actively involved in learning how to select, clean, boil, and properly consume the celery leaf water as a herbal drink.The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in community knowledge and understanding related to hypertension and the benefits of using celery leaves as a traditional remedy. It is hoped that after this activity, the local community will be able to independently apply this knowledge and routinely use boiled celery water as a preventive measure to maintain normal blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. This effort is part of promotive and preventive health services to improve the quality of life and promote a healthy lifestyle at the village level.

Gunung Kijang Subdistrict in Bintan Regency is one of the areas still facing various socio-economic challenges, particularly related to poverty issues. The problems faced include low income, limited access to education and healthcare, lack of employment opportunities, and low quality of life. Therefore, the Family Hope Program (PKH) is present as a social policy intervention from the government to help reduce the impact of poverty both directly and in the long term in Gunung Kijang by fulfilling basic needs, increasing participation in education, raising awareness of the importance of health, and empowerment through social assistance. This study aims to determine the extent of PKH’s effectiveness in reducing poverty rates in Gunung Kijang Subdistrict, Bintan Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include interviews, direct field observations, and documentation. In its analysis, this study refers to William N. Dunn’s public policy evaluation theory, which includes six main indicators: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results show that PKH has a positive impact on beneficiary families (KPM). The program increases school attendance of children from poor families in primary and secondary schools, as attendance is an important component in the disbursement of aid. In addition, PKH encourages poor communities to be more active in accessing health services, such as community health centers (puskesmas) and integrated health service posts (posyandu), especially for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, toddlers, and the elderly. The Family Hope Program (PKH) contributes to reducing the impact of poverty in Gunung Kijang Subdistrict. Although it has not fully resolved the root problems, PKH has the potential to be a tool to break the cycle of poverty and improve the quality of life of poor communities sustainably.  

This study aims to describe the implementation of social activities by the 1000 Teachers Gorontalo Community, focusing on the Traveling and Teaching (TNT) program and free health check-ups in Atinggola District, North Gorontalo Regency. This community collaborates with volunteers and medical personnel to provide enjoyable education for children in remote areas and raise health awareness through free check-ups. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to understand the implementation of the program and its impact on the community through observation, in-depth interviews, and surveys. The results show that the TNT program, which combines education and tourism, successfully strengthened the relationship between volunteers and the community. The health check-ups provided direct benefits to communities that have difficulty accessing health services. The evaluation of this program revealed challenges such as limited time and medical personnel, but it still had a positive impact on improving the quality of education and health in the local community

In early 2024, deaths from Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) increased again in Indonesia, with the number of cases higher than the previous year. This condition raises concerns because DHF remains a serious public health problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasized that the key to reducing mortality lies not only in early detection but also in public access to fast, effective, and equitable health services. This statement aligns with the second point in the document "National Dengue Control Strategy 2021–2025" issued by the Ministry of Health, in which the government is committed to strengthening health security. In efforts to ensure this strengthening, public participation plays a crucial role, particularly through the public oversight function channeled through the media. The media acts as a bridge of information and a tool of social control over government performance, including in monitoring the provision of health services by BPJS Kesehatan. This study aims to analyze how news about health security reaches the public, using Brand24 media monitoring as an analytical tool. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, focusing on mapping issues, sentiments, and narratives developing in the digital space. The analysis showed that news containing the keyword "BPJS Kesehatan" was dominated by positive news, with several minor topics discussing aspects of public service. This finding indicates a media tendency to project a positive image of the institution, although further study is needed regarding media bias in the context of health security reporting in Indonesia. Future research is expected to explore the relationship between media framing, public interest, and the effectiveness of national health programs.  

Efforts to realize the implementation of good medical records require supporting elements in the form of medical record folders with a design that meets standards. Medical record folders protect patient documents and simplify the process of identifying, storing, and managing health data. Based on the results of observations at the UMSIDA Physiotherapy Clinic, the medical record folder used is still simple, only made of ordinary paper without a logo, name, clinic address, or columns for writing patient identity and medical record number. This condition has the potential to cause obstacles in the administration and security of patient data. The purpose of this research is to redesign (redesign) medical record folders based on anatomical, physical, and content aspects to make them more professional and functional. The methods used include needs analysis through interviews with users, evaluation of old designs, and the creation of new designs. The redesign was carried out by adding heading elements in the form of the name and address of the clinic, introduction in the form title or medical record folder, and instructions in the form of the text "Confidential Documents." On the body, the patient's identity is contained such as full name and medical record number. From the physical aspect, the folder is designed in the form of a portrait with a size of 21.5 cm × 33.0 cm, using white 260 grams of ivory paper with a blue background. Meanwhile, the content aspects include the identity of the health service facility, the writing "Confidential Document," the patient's name, medical record number, and year of visit. The results of the study concluded that the redesign of the medical record folder has met the anatomical, physical, and content standards needed to support more organized health services.

Anxiety experienced by pregnant women is a common psychological problem and can have a significant negative impact on maternal health and fetal development. This anxiety can be caused by various factors, including physical changes, concerns about the delivery process, and new responsibilities as parents. Therefore, it is important to find effective ways to address this anxiety. One non-pharmacological approach that can be implemented is the use of lemon aromatherapy, which is known to have calming and relaxing properties. This activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of pregnant women in utilizing lemon aromatherapy as a method to reduce their anxiety. This activity was held in June 2025 at PMB Lismarini, involving 20 pregnant women who actively participated in this program. The method used in this activity included several stages: education on the benefits of aromatherapy, demonstrations on how to use it, hands-on practice using lemon aromatherapy, and evaluation conducted through pre- and post-tests to measure changes in participants' anxiety levels. The results of this activity showed a significant decrease in participants' anxiety levels. Previously, many pregnant women were in the severe and moderate anxiety categories, but after participating in the activity, they shifted to mild anxiety and even no anxiety. Lemon aromatherapy has been proven effective in providing relaxation and reducing emotional tension experienced by pregnant women. Therefore, this activity is expected to become a promotional educational model in maternal health services. Through this approach, it is hoped that pregnant women will better understand and utilize aromatherapy as a way to maintain their mental health during pregnancy. Furthermore, this activity can also provide health workers with insight into the importance of non-pharmacological approaches in supporting the mental health of pregnant women.

Antenatal Care (ANC) is an essential component of maternal health services that plays a vital role in maintaining the health of the mother and fetus during pregnancy and delivery. In Indonesia, coverage of ANC services K1 has reached 100%, but coverage of K4 has only reached 78% and has not met the national target. A case study in Sidenreng Rappang Regency showed better results with K1 coverage of 98% and K4 reaching 97%, although there is still room for improvement. This quantitative study with a cross-sectional design aims to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge, attitudes, and husband's support factors on the utilization of ANC services at the Compong Village Health Post. The study population included 190 mothers with toddlers registered at the Compong Village Health Post. Sampling was carried out using the Slovin formula with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error, resulting in 127 respondents as the research sample. The data collection method was carried out through a structured questionnaire containing questions about respondent characteristics, level of knowledge, attitudes towards ANC, and level of husband's support. Data analysis used the Chi-Square statistical test with a significance level of p<0.05 to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results revealed several important findings. First, there was a significant relationship (p=0.002) between maternal knowledge and utilization of ANC services. Second, maternal attitudes also showed a significant relationship (p=0.001) with the frequency of ANC visits. Third, husband's support was shown to have a significant influence (p=0.003) on maternal participation in ANC programs. These findings confirm the multifactorial role in determining ANC service utilization. Practical implications of this study include recommendations for improving health education programs that not only target pregnant women but also actively involve husbands.

Introduction Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one of the indicators to determine the quality of maternal health services in Indonesia. Obstetric complications greatly affect MMR, including long first stage of labor. Moxa therapy is a traditional therapy that uses mugwort plants (artemisia vulgaris) to provide warmth to acupuncture points in the body. The goal is to stimulate energy circulation (QI) and blood. Method This study aims to determine the differences before and after intervention related to the duration of labor of inpartu mothers after giving mugwort moxa. This study is a pre-experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest study design conducted on inpartu mothers in the first stage. Results The calculated value obtained from the calculation using the T-test was 0.015, so the calculated t value <0.05 (0.15 <0.05) so it can be said that moxa therapy affects the duration of the first stage of labor. The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship between mugwort moxa therapy and the duration of labor of inpartu mothers in the first stage of labor at the Malang Regional Health Facility. Mugwort moxa therapy tends to shorten the duration of the first stage of labor.

Health care is a fundamental right of every citizen guaranteed by the constitution and various laws and regulations. However, in practice there are still cases of health care malpractice that often occur, either due to negligence, carelessness, lack of competence, or violation of professional standards. Such actions not only have an impact on the physical and psychological harm of patients, but also raise questions regarding the legal responsibility of the perpetrators, especially in the criminal realm. The problems in this study are how health care malpractice in the perspective of criminal law and how criminal liability for health care malpractice. This research uses normative juridical research method with statute approach and conceptual approach. The results showed that health care malpractice must be viewed as a criminal offence that can be subject to criminal liability in accordance with the provisions in the Criminal Code, Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, and other regulations.
