This study examines the importance of legal protection for healthcare workers in medical services, particularly in the Central Surgical Installation of the Regional General Hospital of Mataram City, which involves high medical risks. The background of this research is based on the increasing potential for medical disputes and the vulnerability of healthcare workers to legal claims due to discrepancies between medical outcomes and patient expectations. The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of legal protection and identify the challenges faced in practice. The research employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that legal protection has been implemented through standard operating procedures, informed consent, and internal hospital policies in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to several constraints, including limited legal awareness among healthcare workers, inadequate legal assistance systems, and increasing public demands. The study implies the need to enhance legal education for healthcare workers and strengthen the role of hospitals in providing effective legal protection to support professional and safe healthcare services.

The rapid development of communication technology has spurred public demand for smartphones, particularly iPhones, seen as a symbol of prestige and advanced technology. This high demand has been exploited by unscrupulous business actors who distribute parallel import (black market) iPhones that are not officially registered, posing risks to consumers. This study examines the legal protection procedures for consumers, the legal standing of consumers in black market iPhone transactions, and the liability of business actors under Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection (UUPK). Using a normative legal research method, the study employs statutory and conceptual approaches, analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. The findings indicate that consumer protection can be achieved through preventive measures such as public education and information transparency, and repressive measures via dispute resolution mechanisms, both in court and through the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK). Consumers' legal rights are acknowledged, though they remain vulnerable due to the purchase of illegal goods. Business actors may be held liable for product liability, including the obligation to provide accurate information and face sanctions. In conclusion, consumer protection in black market iPhone transactions remains insufficient, and stronger enforcement is necessary.

Introduction: Appendectomy is a relatively safe surgical procedure. One important aspect of this stage is maintaining the patient's mental stability, especially before administering anesthesia. However, anesthesia often causes anxiety in patients. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has been shown to significantly improve quality of life by minimizing anxiety. Objective: This study analyzed the effect of Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MCT) in reducing pre-anesthetic anxiety in appendectomy patients. Methods: This study used a case study design with a nursing care process approach. The subjects in this case study were two patients who met the inclusion criteria. The instrument used was an observation sheet according to the Indonesian Society for Anesthesia and Clinical Trials (SLKI). Results: The results of the case study showed that both patients experienced pre-anesthetic anxiety. After receiving Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, pre-anesthetic anxiety decreased. Conclusion: This case study demonstrated that pre-anesthetic anxiety decreased after Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

This study was motivated by issues related to nurses’ work compliance in implementing nursing care in the inpatient wards of Dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara Regional General Hospital, Serang. Compliance with nursing care standards is a key indicator of healthcare service quality; however, inconsistencies in the implementation of procedures are still found in practice. The low level of work compliance is presumed to be influenced by nurses’ responsibility and competence, with organizational commitment acting as an intervening variable. This study aimed to analyze the effect of responsibility and competence on nurses’ work compliance, with organizational commitment as an intervening variable.This research employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The study was conducted among inpatient ward nurses, with a total sample of 168 nurses. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the SEM-PLS program.The results showed that responsibility and competence had a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. Furthermore, responsibility, competence, and organizational commitment partially and simultaneously had a positive and significant effect on nurses’ work compliance. The main conclusion of this study is that all variables have significant effects; therefore, enhancing nurses’ responsibility and competence is essential to strengthen organizational commitment and improve compliance with nursing care standards

The development of information technology has become a primary pillar in enhancing corporate operational efficiency, where rapid and accurate data integration significantly determines business competitiveness. Case study in PT Gawi Anjung Bersama (GAB) revealed that the company is facing operational constraints because the management of delivery orders and invoices still relies on conventional office applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word. This procedure causes hurdles in data sharing among staff and results in low information security due to the absence of integrated access control settings. This research aims to design and develop the Gawi Anjung Bersama Information System (SIGAB), a web-based system implementing the CodeIgniter framework. The system is developed using Waterfall model, encompassing stages from analysis, design, and implementation to testing. The research flow starts with problem identification, primary and secondary data collection, and functional and non-functional requirements analysis. The system is designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling, specifically Use Case and Class Diagrams, as well as Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) for the database. The system interface is designed as wireframes on Figma web. This system separates access rights into three main actors namely owner, administrator, and staff, to ensure data security. Blackbox testing results, conducted after the system was hosted, indicate that all functional features operate as intended. The implementation of SIGAB is expected to optimize the management of delivery orders and invoices at PT GAB.

This study is grounded in the observation that the implementation of an efficient, simple, and low-cost judicial process in civil cases remains ineffective, particularly in relation to mediation as a dispute resolution mechanism. Although mediation has been incorporated into judicial proceedings with the aim of expediting case resolution, simplifying procedural stages, and reducing litigation costs for the parties, these objectives have not been fully realized in practice. This research seeks to examine the extent to which mediation in civil litigation effectively contributes to the realization of an efficient, straightforward, and affordable justice system. In addition, it aims to identify the factors that influence both the success and failure of the mediation process. The study employs a normative legal research method, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches. The research is conducted through a literature review of primary and secondary legal materials. The findings indicate that the implementation of mediation in civil courts has not yet reached an optimal level. This is reflected in the relatively low success rate of dispute resolution through mediation, as well as the tendency for mediation to be treated merely as a procedural formality. Several contributing factors include the lack of good faith from the parties, limited time allocated for mediation, and the suboptimal role of mediators.

This research is prompted by legal complications within civil procedural law, specifically regarding the failure of judges to identify formal defects in special powers of attorney during the preliminary stages of trial. The central focus of this study examines Decision Number 14/Pdt.G/2025/PN Kba, in which a lawsuit was declared inadmissible (Niet Ontvankelijke Verklaard) only after a seven-month litigation process that had already progressed through evidentiary hearings and local inspections. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the dominus litis principle in empowering judges to provide procedural guidance for lawsuit amendments, while testing its alignment with the principles of simple, fast, and low-cost justice. Employing a normative legal research method with statutory and case-based approaches, the legal materials are analyzed qualitatively using the legal syllogism technique. The findings indicate that the application of the dominus litis principle in the a quo case remains ineffective due to the judges' passive and formalistic tendencies. Such an approach neglects the ex-officio authority mandated under Articles 119 and 132 of the HIR. This ineffectiveness results in significant judicial inefficiency, causing undue loss of time and financial resources for justice seekers. Consequently, this study recommends strengthening rigorous initial screening mechanisms by the panel of judges at the first hearing. This preventive measure is essential to curb the waste of judicial resources and ensure the realization of substantial justice for all disputing parties.

Patient safety is a top priority in healthcare services in hospitals. One of the critical elements is the accuracy of patient identification to prevent incidents such as procedural errors or medication administration. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nurses' compliance in implementing SBAR communication with the accuracy of patient identification at Hospital X, West Jakarta. This study is a quantitative analytical study. The research design used was a cross-sectional study. The population in this study were nurses working at Hospital X, West Jakarta with a sample of 50 respondents taken using the total sampling technique. The data collection technique used an instrument in the form of an observation sheet for SBAR compliance and patient identification accuracy. Data analysis used the Chi-Square statistical test method. Based on the results of the study, it was found that most nurses were not compliant in implementing SBAR communication, namely 27 people (54%) and the majority were not accurate in identifying patients, namely 30 people (60%). The results of the statistical test showed a p value = 0.000 (p <0.05), which means there is a significant relationship between nurses' compliance in implementing SBAR communication with the accuracy of patient identification at Hospital X, West Jakarta. This study indicates that the better nurses' adherence to SBAR communication, the better the accuracy of patient identification. Hospitals are recommended to increase routine supervision and ongoing training to strengthen a culture of patient safety through effective communication.  

In addition to being programmatically successful in lowering TFR and slowing population growth rates, the Long-Term Contraceptive technique (MKJP) is an affordable technique of preventing conception. This study's objective was to examine variables associated with long-term contraceptive (MKJP) selection at the Gandasuli Community Health Center. The study design is cross-sectional and the research methodology is quantitative. The investigation was carried out in the workspace of the Gandasuli Community Health Center. 300 women of reproductive age made up the study's population, and a straightforward random selection procedure was used to choose 45 participants. A questionnaire was used to gather the data, which were then subjected to univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square statistical test. Age and MKJP choice did not correlate, according to the data (p- value = 0.09 > 0.05). The choice of MKJP was correlated with education (p-value = 0.003 < 0.05). The choice of MKJP was correlated with occupation (p-value = 0.003 < 0.05). The choice of MKJP and the husband's support are related, with a p value of 0.004 < 0.05. Parity and MKJP selection are related, with a p value of 0.003 < 0.05. Knowledge and MKJP selection are related, with a p-value of 0.003 < 0.05.

The development of information technology has transformed civil dispute resolution mechanisms in Indonesia, most notably through the issuance of Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 3 of 2022 on Electronic Mediation in Courts. Despite the normative framework it provides, the implementation of electronic mediation continues to face persistent challenges, particularly regarding limited digital infrastructure, low digital literacy among disputing parties, and insufficient technical capacity of mediators. More critically, when electronic mediation fails to produce a settlement agreement, the subsequent enforcement of civil court decisions encounters serious normative gaps not yet adequately addressed by existing legal instruments. This study aims to identify and analyze the causes of civil judgment enforcement failures arising in the context of failed electronic mediation under PERMA Number 3 of 2022, and to propose normative solutions for the identified regulatory gaps. Using a normative juridical method supported by statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this study finds that the primary causes of enforcement failure include the absence of clear legal standards governing electronically signed peace deeds, weak synchronization between PERMA Number 3 of 2022 and civil procedural law on execution, and procedural obstacles in enforcing decisions that originate from electronic proceedings. This study recommends targeted regulatory reform to ensure that peace agreements resulting from electronic mediation carry unambiguous executorial force and that enforcement mechanisms are adapted to accommodate the distinctive characteristics of electronic dispute resolution.

Money laundering is a derivative crime that is frequently associated with corruption and has the potential to cause significant losses to state finances. Efforts to recover assets derived from criminal activities constitute an essential aspect of law enforcement aimed at restoring state losses and creating a deterrent effect for perpetrators. This study aims to analyze the authority of public prosecutors in the investigation of money laundering crimes as well as the mechanisms for state asset recovery based on the authority of the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office. The research method employed is normative juridical research using statutory and case approaches. The results of this study indicate that the Attorney General’s Office possesses clear and legally valid authority to conduct investigations into money laundering crimes as regulated under Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering and the Law on the Attorney General’s Office. Prosecutors are authorized to trace, seize, confiscate, and recover assets derived from criminal acts without first proving the predicate offense. This study further emphasizes that although the authority of the Attorney General’s Office has been normatively regulated, in practice, state asset recovery continues to face various obstacles, both in substantive and procedural law, such as inconsistencies in statutory regulations and the suboptimal implementation of non-conviction-based asset forfeiture. Therefore, strengthening regulations and harmonizing legal policies are necessary to ensure that state asset recovery through the handling of money laundering crimes can be carried out more effectively and provide legal certainty.

Adoption is an act of adopting a child which, according to legal regulations, transfers the rights and responsibilities of the child from their biological parents to their adoptive parents. This study aims to examine the legal framework governing the legal determination of adopted children. This research was conducted using a juridical-normative research approach. This study focuses on reviewing the status of an adopted child, including their position in obtaining inheritance rights, using a review of the Civil Code and other applicable regulations. Based on the analysis that has been carried out, the position or status of a child adopted by adoptive parents has a legal status if it is carried out through applicable legal procedures, which means that the child has equal rights to biological children. This research is expected to contribute to providing references for firmness in family law that is more certain and does not harm any party.

Preoperative anxiety can lead to increased blood pressure, accelerated heart rate, and bleeding. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be provided is dhikr therapy, particularly tahlil dhikr (repeated recitation of La ilaha illallah). This study aims to determine the effect of tahlil dhikr on reducing anxiety in preoperative patients. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design, using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. Data collection was conducted from May 22 to May 27, 2025, at Meuraxa Hospital. The population in this study consisted of 270 patients scheduled for surgery at Meuraxa Hospital, Banda Aceh, with a sample of 73 respondents selected through random sampling. The research instruments used were the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Tahlil Dhikr Therapy and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) questionnaire, which had a Cronbach’s Alpha score between 0.6 – 0.7 and was considered reliable with a result > 0.6. The results showed a decrease in the intensity of anxiety after the administration of tahlil dhikr. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a p-value = 0.000 (≤ 0.05), indicating a significant effect of tahlil dhikr on reducing preoperative anxiety among patients at Meuraxa Hospital, Banda Aceh. The study recommends the integration of tahlil dhikr as an alternative method for reducing anxiety in preoperative patients.

Management of hazardous and toxic waste (B3) in hospitals is an important aspect of maintaining environmental health and preventing pollution risks. RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani Metro has implemented hazardous waste management using the reduce, reuse, recycle (3R) concept; however, its implementation has never been comprehensively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the management of hazardous waste using the 3R concept at RSUD Jenderal Ahmad Yani Metro based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. P.56/Menlhk-Setjen/2015 and to identify the supporting factors. This research used a qualitative design with a case study approach. The research informants consisted of 23 participants selected using purposive sampling, including the hospital director, ward heads, IPCN, sanitation officers, 3R waste management officers, and sanitation operators. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document review using interview guidelines and checklists. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the transportation, storage, and processing stages of hazardous waste management were in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. P.56/Menlhk-Setjen/2015. However, the sorting and containerization processes were not fully compliant because recyclable waste was still mixed with other hazardous waste. In addition, several supporting factors were identified, including the lack of training and certification among human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and the absence of technical guidelines and standard operating procedures for the 3R waste bank. Therefore, improving human resource capacity, infrastructure, and internal hospital regulations is necessary to optimize 3R-based hazardous waste management.

This study aims to analyze innovations in official travel administration based on information technology in supporting the efficiency of regional government budgets. This research employs a qualitative approach using the Qualitative Secondary Analysis (QSA) method by utilizing various secondary data sources, such as policy documents, government reports, and relevant research and academic journals. The results indicate that the implementation of an information technology-based official travel administration system has successfully transformed bureaucratic processes from manual to digital systems. The submission, approval, execution, and reporting of official travel, which were previously carried out through physical documents, can now be conducted through an integrated electronic system. The digitalization of administrative processes has had a significant impact on improving the efficiency of administrative service time. Employees no longer need to go through lengthy bureaucratic procedures to obtain travel approval, as the entire process can be conducted online through an application system. This aligns with the concept of digital transformation in government, which emphasizes the utilization of information technology to enhance the efficiency of public organizations. The implementation of an information technology-based official travel administration system also increases transparency and accountability in managing official travel budgets. The digital system allows all administrative processes related to official travel to be systematically recorded and electronically documented. With a digital system in place, the potential for misuse of official travel funds such as fictitious trips, duplicate activities, or manipulation of expense reports can be minimized.

Public services are a state obligation to meet the basic needs of the community and have a strong legal basis through various laws and regulations in Indonesia. However, in practice, the implementation of public services still faces various problems such as slow service processes, unclear procedures, lack of transparency in costs and service times, and maladministration. This study aims to analyze the gap between the normative concept of public services and their implementation in practice and to identify factors that influence the low quality of public services. The research method used is a qualitative approach with library research through analysis of various literature, laws and regulations, and data from public service supervisory agencies. The results show that the main problems in public services in Indonesia are related to the weak implementation of service standards, low transparency and accountability, and suboptimal professionalism of the apparatus. In addition, maladministration practices such as prolonged delays and procedural deviations are still common. Digital transformation through the implementation of e-government is one effort to improve service quality, although its implementation still faces obstacles in human resources, infrastructure, and bureaucratic culture. Therefore, strengthening public service governance, increasing transparency, and optimizing oversight are necessary to ensure public services are more effective, accountable, and oriented toward the public interest.

This study analyzes the implementation of Good Governance in enhancing consular services at the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Tawau, using a qualitative approach with a case study paradigm. The findings reveal several key points: First, transparency in consular services is achieved through openness about procedures, fees, and service time standards via official platforms like websites, social media, and notice boards. This transparency reduces information asymmetry, prevents maladministration, and builds trust. Second, service accountability is reflected in the timely execution of passport renewals, Emergency Travel Documents, and document legalization, following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Accountability is further demonstrated through performance reports, complaint channels, and service evaluations. Third, public participation is fostered through two-way communication, complaint mechanisms, and collaboration with Indonesian citizen and migrant worker communities. The mobile consular service program also enhances accessibility. Finally, consular services are based on clear legal frameworks, ensuring the legitimacy of services and protection for Indonesian citizens and migrant workers. Overall, the study concludes that the implementation of Good Governance principles at the Consulate General of Indonesia in Tawau significantly improves the quality of consular services.

The revocation of business licenses by the President of the Republic of Indonesia against 28 companies proven to have violated forest utilization regulations signifies a shift in environmental law enforcement from a predominantly punitive criminal approach to preventive administrative measures. This article aims to analyze the legal basis of the President’s authority to revoke business licenses related to natural resource utilization, to position license revocation as an instrument of environmental law enforcement within Indonesia’s legal system, and to assess its implications for environmental protection and legal certainty for business actors. This study employs a normative juridical research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that Presidential license revocation possesses juridical legitimacy within the framework of the rule of law and environmental and forestry legislation. Nevertheless, the implementation of such a policy requires clear administrative procedural standards to ensure legal certainty and to prevent potential abuse of power. This article concludes that license revocation can function as an effective environmental law enforcement instrument provided that it is accompanied by adequate oversight mechanisms and due process of law.

This study examines the application of innovation in public services based on digital technology as a strategic approach to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and overall quality of government services. The digitization of service delivery through e-government initiatives, smart governance frameworks, and various applications such as SEPP, E-Lapor, JAKI, and OpenSID has been proven to accelerate administrative processes, simplify complex bureaucratic procedures, and significantly expand public access to services. In addition, these digital platforms contribute to more inclusive and user-oriented public service systems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of technology in improving service delivery and to identify strategic steps that can be taken to address the challenges associated with service innovation in the public sector. Qualitative research methods were applied, utilizing data collection techniques through an extensive literature review of relevant academic and policy sources. The findings illustrate that technology-based innovation not only supports improved service performance but also strengthens accountability, responsiveness, and public participation in governance processes.

Public service is a key indicator in evaluating local government performance; however, various service issues continue to generate increasing public complaints. This study aims to analyze trends in public complaints, identify the most frequently reported institutions, and examine the types of maladministration and the status of complaint resolution through the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia in South Sulawesi Province during 2023–2025. This study offers novelty by providing an integrated analysis of complaint trends, distribution of reported institutions, types of maladministration, and resolution outcomes based on Ombudsman data at the regional level. This research employs a qualitative approach using document analysis, with public complaint reports as the unit of analysis. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that local governments are the most frequently reported institutions (55.1%), with dominant maladministration types including procedural deviations and prolonged delays. Several complaints were proven to involve maladministration and were resolved through the Ombudsman’s supervisory mechanism. These findings highlight that public complaints serve as an important instrument in enhancing accountability and transparency in public service delivery. Therefore, local governments need to strengthen service standards, improve the capacity of public officials, and develop more effective complaint management systems.
