This research examines compliance with gold pawn guarantee execution procedures from a civil law perspective, using a case study of Medan District Court Decision Number 738/Pdt.G/2023/PN Mdn. The background to this research stems from the growing practice of gold pawning in society as a solution for quick cash needs, but it often raises legal issues related to the execution process of the pawned goods. The issues raised in this paper are the procedures for executing gold pawn guarantees according to applicable law and whether PT. Gadai Mas Sumut's actions in this case comply with legal provisions. This research method uses a normative juridical approach by examining Articles 1150-1160 of the Civil Code, the Consumer Protection Law, and PMK Number 122 of 2023. The analysis shows that, normatively, creditors have the right to execute pawned goods if the debtor defaults. However, execution must be carried out in accordance with legal procedures, the principle of good faith, and transparency, including through a public or voluntary auction. In the case of PT. In the case of the North Sumatra Gold Pawn, the execution was carried out without adequate notification and without evidence of an official auction, thus being deemed to have failed to meet the principle of legal compliance. Therefore, this article concludes that gold pawn execution practices must be based on the principles of legal certainty and debtor protection to prevent similar losses and disputes in the future.

Hypertension is one of the most common non-communicable diseases, posing serious health risks such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. The increasing prevalence of hypertension is mainly due to limited public knowledge about the risks associated with the condition and the importance of consistent, long-term medication adherence to prevent complications. This study aims to examine the relationship between the level of knowledge about hypertension and medication adherence among hypertensive patients. A quantitative research method with a descriptive correlational design was employed. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents, and the data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (53%), aged between 46 and 64 years (74%), had an elementary school education level (42%), worked as housewives (51%), and had been diagnosed with hypertension for an average of 7 to 10 years (46%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (α < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between the patients’ knowledge level and their adherence to antihypertensive medication. This finding emphasizes the need for continuous health education and counseling to enhance patients’ understanding of hypertension and its management. Effective communication and support strategies are essential in improving medication adherence, which is crucial for preventing hypertension-related complications and improving the quality of life for patients. These results provide valuable insights for healthcare providers to develop targeted interventions.

Nosocomial infections continue to be a critical challenge in healthcare settings, often emerging within two to four days after patients begin receiving treatment. Such infections not only prolong hospital stays but also increase morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. One of the most effective strategies for preventing nosocomial infections is ensuring strict adherence to handwashing procedures by nurses, who play a central role in direct patient care. This study aimed to evaluate nurses' adherence to handwashing procedures and to examine the relationship between the presence of role models and this adherence. A quantitative research method with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 103 purposively selected respondents. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire, and analysis was performed using the Spearman correlation test. The results indicated that the majority of respondents were between 26 and 45 years old and predominantly female. Findings revealed that most nurses rated role models as good (80.6%), which was consistent with their high level of handwashing compliance (80.6%). Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between the presence of role models and adherence to handwashing procedures (p = 0.000; r = 0.235), although the correlation was categorized as weak. These results highlight the importance of role modeling in promoting good clinical practices. Strengthening positive role models in clinical environments can serve as an effective strategy to improve hand hygiene adherence among nurses, thereby reducing the risk of nosocomial infections and enhancing patient safety.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a crucial issue that significantly impacts morbidity and mortality rates, as well as healthcare costs.

The results showed that the majority of respondents were in the 30–39 age group (50.3%), female (71.2%), had a Diploma 3 (D3) in Nursing (56.8%), and had worked for 5–10 years (44.5%). Most respondents received high rewards (79.1%) and demonstrated high compliance with infection prevention (90.8%). The Spearman test yielded a ρ value of 0.000 with an r value of 0.598, indicating a significant and positive relationship between rewards and nurse compliance. Therefore, providing targeted rewards can be used as a managerial strategy to improve service quality and support patient safety on an ongoing basis.
