Effective communication is essential for teamwork effectiveness in healthcare, particularly in inpatient units where patient care requires coordination among multiple professionals. Internal data from Hospital X showed that more than 50% of medical incidents in the last two years were related to miscommunication among healthcare workers. In addition, the 2024 employee satisfaction survey reported that workplace communication satisfaction was only 62%, below the hospital target of 75%. This study aimed to examine the influence of effective communication on teamwork effectiveness with interprofessional collaboration as an intervening variable at Hospital X.This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design involving 226 healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and medical support staff. Data were analyzed using the Three-Box Method and PLS-SEM. The findings revealed that effective communication significantly influenced teamwork effectiveness both directly and indirectly through interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessional collaboration also acted as a significant mediating variable between communication and teamwork effectiveness. These results indicate that communication is a key foundation for strengthening collaboration and improving teamwork in hospitals. Therefore, hospitals should enhance communication training and interprofessional collaboration programs to improve healthcare quality and patient safety

This study investigates the clinical handover process as a critical component of patient safety and healthcare service quality in hospital settings. Inconsistent communication, incomplete documentation, and the absence of standardized procedures were identified as major problems contributing to communication failures and potential adverse events. The objective of this research was to develop and test a structured and effective handover model that could improve communication accuracy and documentation reliability among healthcare professionals. A mixed methods design was employed, consisting of a qualitative phase (in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis) to explore real-world handover practices, followed by a quantitative phase using a pretest–posttest design to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model. The study proposes an integrated handover model based on SBAR-IM (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation, Intervention, Monitoring) strengthened by Quality Control (QC) and Mutual Confirmation (MC) mechanisms. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in handover quality after implementation, with communication scores increasing from 74 to 84.5 and documentation scores improving from 48.3 to 63.0 (p < 0.05). Qualitative results further revealed reduced communication errors, improved clarity of clinical information, and enhanced interprofessional collaboration. This study concludes that the proposed SBAR-IM–based QC–MC model is effective, practical, and suitable for improving patient safety and healthcare service quality in hospital environments.

The implementation of patient safety culture in hospitals remains a significant challenge, often leading to adverse events. Establishing a strong patient safety culture requires effective interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals to deliver patient-centered care. However, factors such as organizational distrust and job dissatisfaction continue to hinder collaborative efforts and negatively affect the quality of care and patient safety outcomes.This study aims to examine the influence of organizational trust and job satisfaction on patient safety culture, with interprofessional collaboration serving as an intervening variable at MP hospital.  This quantitative associative research used a causal approach involving 93 inpatient nurses as respondents. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires using an ordinal scale based on a 4–1 Likert scale. Data processing employed the three-box method, and data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).The results revealed that organizational trust, job satisfaction, and interprofessional collaboration simultaneously and partially influence patient safety culture. Moreover, interprofessional collaboration was found to mediate the relationship between organizational trust, job satisfaction, and patient safety culture.The study concludes that enhancing patient safety culture can be achieved by strengthening organizational trust and job satisfaction through effective interprofessional collaboration. Hospitals should develop supportive systems that foster care and concern among staff, enhance conflict management, improve performance appraisal mechanisms, and promote open, effective communication across all professional groups involved in patient care. These strategies can create a safer, more collaborative, and high-quality healthcare environment

Indonesia’s high disaster risk needs health professionals equipped with strong interprofessional collaboration skills in disaster management. Interprofessional Education (IPE) through disaster response simulations is a strategic approach to enhance collaborative competencies among health sciences students. This study aims to explore health sciences students’ perceptions of IPE implementation during disaster response simulations at Syiah Kuala University and its impact on developing collaborative competencies. A qualitative descriptive design was employed. Participants included students from medical, nursing, psychology and dentistry study programs who participated in the disaster response simulation. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, and observation before, during and after the simulation. Findings revealed positive perceptions toward IPE implementation through simulation, which effectively improved understanding of professional roles, communication skills, team coordination, and disaster preparedness. Key facilitators included realistic scenarios, experienced facilitators, and reflective debriefing sessions. Challenges identified were differences in professional backgrounds, confusion in simulation role and limited simulation time. In conclusion, practical integration via disaster response simulation significantly enhances collaborative competencies among health sciences students.

The increased of Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) can be lowered through by various efforts, one of them with quality Antenatal Care (ANC). Quality of ANC services can be given by several health workers who work together in giving services to patients through the Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC). IPC or interprofessional collaboration can improve health service quality. The purpose of this study is to find out an overview of the level of perception of health workers about IPC on ANC services in Lubuk Buaya Health Center. This study is descriptive research using crosssectional design. The study sample is 30 health workers who are determined by the total sampling method. Data collection use the Collaborative Practice Assessment Tools (CPAT) questionnaire. The results of the study can be found that all health workers (100%) have a high perception of IPC in ANC services with components of connection among members, coordination and division of roles, and missions, goals, and objectives have the highest percentage (100%) and decision-making and conflict management components have the lowest percentage (10%). All health professions consist of GPs, midwives, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, nutritionists, and ATLM have a high perception (100%) of IPC on ANC services. The dentist professions have a high perception of all eight components, meanwhile other professions have a high perception of the seven components of perception and have a moderate perception in one component of perception, that is the components of decision making and conflict management. In general, health workers have a high perception of IPC in ANC services, but there are still a moderate perception in one components of perception so efforts are needed to improve IPC competence in that component.
