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

Patient safety is often viewed exclusively as the responsibility of clinical personnel. However, administrative errors occurring during the admission process and documentation stages constitute major contributors to medical risk. This study aims to explore the strategic role of administrative staff in strengthening patient safety culture and mitigating medical risks through effective communication coordination. A narrative literature review was conducted extensively using the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases, covering publications from 2014 to 2024. Data were analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach. The findings identify four main themes: administrative staff as information gatekeepers, the role of health information technologies (HIS/EMR) in bridging communication gaps, collaboration barriers arising from hierarchical structures, and the need for an Interprofessional Shared Governance framework. Administrative accuracy in the early phases of care is proven to be critical in preventing latent errors with potentially fatal consequences. Strengthening patient safety culture requires the integration of administrative staff through cross-departmental training, standardized communication protocols, and non-punitive incident reporting systems. Administrative staff are not merely bureaucratic support personnel but are key actors within the modern hospital patient safety ecosystem.

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

This study is motivated by the importance of building an effective patient safety culture in the hospital environment, which can be influenced by factors such as clinical leadership and work engagement. This study aims to analyze the effect of Clinical Leadership and Work Engagement on patient safety culture mediated by Interprofessional Collaboration of nurses at Emhaka Hospital. The research design used was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 118 nurses selected using purposive sampling techniques and calculated using saturated side. Data were collected through a 4-point Likert scale questionnaire, which included the variables of Clinical Leadership, Work Engagement, Interprofessional Collaboration, and Patient Safety Culture. Data analysis was performed using SEMP-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares) software. The results showed that Clinical Leadership and Work Engagement had a significant effect on Patient Safety Culture, both directly and through the mediation of Interprofessional Collaboration. These findings emphasize the importance of improving clinical leadership and nurse involvement in improving interprofessional collaboration, which in turn can strengthen patient safety culture at Emhaka Hospital. This study contributes to the development of hospital policies that focus on improving patient safety through effective leadership and increasing nurse work engagement.  

Children are one of the most vulnerable groups during disasters due to their limited physical and psychological resilience. Therefore, providing disaster mitigation education to children is essential to enhance their awareness, preparedness, and response capabilities in the face of potential disasters. This community service activity aims to increase children's understanding of disaster mitigation through both theoretical education and participatory simulations that reflect real-life scenarios. The activities were carried out using a cooperative-participatory approach in collaboration with the local Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in Tanah Karo and members of the surrounding community. The stages of implementation included conducting a site survey, securing necessary permits, determining the time and location, coordinating with local stakeholders, and executing the service program. The educational activities covered disaster phases, including pre-disaster, during disaster, and post-disaster, with a focus on practical and age-appropriate learning strategies. The educational team involved an interprofessional group of facilitators who delivered the material through socialization and counseling sessions. The sessions were enthusiastically received by the children, indicating a high level of engagement and interest. However, findings revealed that children's knowledge of disaster mitigation was still minimal, emergency response plans were underdeveloped, and community involvement in disaster preparedness training remained low. This highlights the need for continuous and sustainable disaster education efforts, especially for children and communities in disaster-prone areas. By fostering early awareness and preparedness through ongoing education and simulation-based activities, it is expected that children will be better equipped to respond effectively and safely during disaster situations. Long-term, this approach also aims to build a more resilient and disaster-aware community.

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.

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 implementation of patient safety management is a fundamental component in efforts to improve the quality of healthcare services in hospitals. This study aims to analyze the implementation of patient safety management at Patut Patuh Patju Hospital and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its application. A qualitative research approach was employed, using in-depth interviews with the head manager, head of security, and medical personnel directly involved in patient care. The findings reveal that patient safety principles have been applied through risk identification, the implementation of double-check procedures, and the provision of adequate facilities and infrastructure. However, limitations in human resources, insufficient facilities, and a lack of routine evaluation remain major challenges. A strong culture of patient safety, interprofessional collaboration, and continuous training were found to play significant roles in preventing incidents and improving service quality. In conclusion, a comprehensive and sustainable implementation of patient safety management plays a strategic role in creating a safe working environment, increasing public trust, and supporting the achievement of high-quality healthcare services.

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.

Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) is professional collaboration with different educational backgrounds and collaborates to improve service quality. The purpose of this study was to explore SBAR communication carried out by nurses and doctors in IPC at the Hospital X. The research method is qualitative. The research participants were 10 health workers (5 nurses and 5 doctors). Data analysis was carried out by processing and preparing data, reading data, coding, coding interpretation, presenting themes, and interpreting data. The results showed that there were three themes produced: 1) A thorough assessment by nurses and doctors; 2) Collaboration between nurses and doctors to patients; 3) Barriers communication between nurses and doctors. The form of communication that is applied between doctors and nurses in the emergency room at the hospital x is SBAR communication that has been implemented well. The main barriers to SBAR communication are the shortage of staff and the increase in the number of patients. And the obstacle from the doctor's side is the new nurse personnel who do not really understand their duties. The conclusion of this study is that the application of SBAR communication in the Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) relationship between nurses and emergency room doctors at the hospital x is good, but there are still barriers to SBAR communication when there is an increase in the number of patients due to lack of staff in the hospital.
