This study aims to determine the effect of triangle pass and square pass training on passing accuracy among female futsal extracurricular participants at SMA Negeri 1 Cisaat. This study employed a quantitative method with a two-group pretest–posttest experimental design. The sample was divided into two groups: one group received triangle pass training, while the other group received square pass training. Data were collected through passing accuracy tests conducted before (pretest) and after (posttest) the treatment. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that there was an improvement in passing accuracy in both groups. The triangle pass group increased its mean score from 62.40 to 78.20, while the square pass group improved from 61.80 to 73.50. Statistical analysis indicated that both training methods had a significant effect on passing accuracy (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a difference in effectiveness between the two methods, with triangle pass training being more effective than square pass training. In conclusion, both triangle pass and square pass training significantly improve passing accuracy; however, triangle pass training is more recommended as the primary method in futsal training programs.

This study investigates why applicants who have passed the initial admissions stage do not proceed to final enrolment in an Indonesian private higher education context. While student recruitment is often measured by the number of applications received, institutional sustainability depends on the ability to convert applicants into enrolled students. This study employed a descriptive survey design supported by thematic analysis of open-ended responses. Data were collected from 179 applicants who had participated in the admissions process but did not complete final re-registration. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and thematic categorization. The findings show that conversion failure is influenced by several factors, including waiting for public university admission results, financial constraints, postponement of study plans, family considerations, uncertainty about the institution or study programmed, preference for other institutions, and campus accessibility. A key finding reveals that 58.1% of respondents would reconsider enrolment if scholarships, tuition discounts, or other financial assistance were available. These findings highlight the need for a conversion management strategy through targeted financial aid, transparent cost communication, family engagement, and proactive applicant follow-up.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing forgiveness therapy in enhancing the personal growth of inmates at the Tangerang Class II-A Women’s Correctional Facility. The method used was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Nine subjects aged 20-40 years were selected from 50 inmates based on low to moderate scores on the forgiveness scale and the psychological well-being scale. The intervention consisted of six sessions adapted from the forgiveness model developed by Enright and Fitzgibbons. Data analysis utilized a paired-sample t-test and the N-Gain formula. The results showed a significant increase in personal growth scores from the pretest (M = 7.00; SD = 1.225) to the posttest (M = 9.44; SD = 1.424), with t(8) = −8.315 and p < 0.001. An N-Gain value of 0.610 indicates moderate effectiveness. The follow-up measurement (M = 9.67; SD = 1.118) did not differ significantly from the post-test (p = 0.347), indicating the sustainability of the changes achieved. Forgiveness scores also increased from 65.33 (pre-test) to 86.67 (post-test) and 87.33 (follow-up), confirming the role of forgiveness as a psychological mechanism for personal growth. These findings support the integration of structured forgiveness therapy into correctional programs for women’s prisons.

Patient satisfaction with healthcare services remains a major concern in the delivery of healthcare.

Work stress is a critical occupational health concern among midwives working at primary healthcare facilities. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze factors associated with work stress among 30 midwives, including age, marital status, length of service, and dual-role conflict. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring work stress (9 valid items) and dual-role conflict (6 items), and analyzed through univariate, bivariate (Fisher's Exact Test and Chi-Square), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) analyses. Results showed that 43.3% of midwives experienced high work stress and 53.3% reported high dual-role conflict. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between work stress and marital status (p=0.009) and dual-role conflict (p=0.004), while age (p=0.633) and length of service (p=0.586) were not significant. Multivariate analysis identified dual-role conflict as the primary determinant of work stress (OR=15.762; 95% CI: 2.149–115.631; p=0.007). Healthcare facility management should develop gender-responsive policies and workplace stress intervention programs to reduce dual-role conflict and work stress among midwives.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive malignancy associated with high morbidity, reduced survival, and impaired quality of life. Radiotherapy (RT) has been widely used as a bladder-preserving strategy, particularly for patients unsuitable for surgery or systemic chemotherapy. RT may also enhance tumor immunogenicity through programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) upregulation, providing a rationale for combination therapy with immunotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining immunotherapy and radiotherapy in MIBC treatment. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines using the PICO framework. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for studies published between 2016 and 2025. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and ROBINS-I. Of 105 identified studies, five met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Only one Phase II randomized controlled trial demonstrated low risk of bias in randomization and allocation concealment. ROBINS-I assessment indicated moderate to serious risk in confounding and participant selection domains. Clinical findings showed promising outcomes, with complete response rates ranging from 35%–50% and partial response rates from 25%–40%. Median overall survival ranged from 24–30 months, with favorable disease-free and progression-free survival outcomes. Combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy demonstrate potential to improve survival and disease control in MIBC; however, further rigorous clinical studies are needed to optimize patient-centered treatment strategies.  

Clean water is a basic human necessity that plays a vital role in public health and well-being. However, access to clean water remains a challenge in many drought-prone areas. This condition requires effective planning and evaluation to ensure the sustainability of clean water supply programs.

The study employed a literature review method by analyzing various scientific articles and relevant documents. Data were analyzed descriptively through identification, classification, and information synthesis. The findings indicate that PSC supports program planning and evaluation through the stages of problem identification, cause analysis, action planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Clean water supply programs contribute to improving community access to safe water and adequate sanitation, although several challenges remain, including limited resources, infrastructure management issues, and program sustainability. Therefore, PSC can serve as an effective approach to support the success of clean water supply programs in drought-prone areas.

Environmental-based diseases remain a major public health issue associated with unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation, poor hygiene behavior, improper household waste management, and unsafe domestic wastewater disposal. Community-Based Total Sanitation, known in Indonesia as Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat or STBM, is a community empowerment approach designed to change hygiene and sanitation behavior through five pillars. This article aims to develop an STBM program planning design and an impact evaluation model for reducing environmental-based diseases, particularly diarrhoeal disease. This study used a narrative review method by analyzing national regulations, official guidelines, global WASH reports, and recent scientific literature. The proposed program design includes situation analysis, multisectoral advocacy, community triggering, household mentoring, strengthening sanitation facilities, monitoring, verification, and impact evaluation. The evaluation model uses process, output, outcome, and impact indicators, with diarrhoea incidence as the main measurable health indicator. The findings indicate that an integrated STBM program supported by community participation, valid baseline data, and periodic evaluation can strengthen the prevention of environmental-based diseases. This article recommends implementing STBM as a sustainable community-based public health intervention rather than a short-term sanitation activity. 

Vector-borne infectious diseases remain a public health concern, particularly in tropical regions such as Indonesia. Sanitation clinics at public health centers (Puskesmas) play a role in identifying environmental risk factors and planning interventions to support vector-borne disease control. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of sanitation clinics in environmental intervention planning. The method used was a literature review of scientific articles, journals, and related documents published between 2015-2025. Data were analyzed descriptively to identify forms of environmental interventions and their effectiveness. The results showed that sanitation clinics play an important role in environmental health counseling, sanitation inspections, health education, and environmental intervention planning. However, their implementation still faces challenges, including limited numbers of sanitarians, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and suboptimal environmental interventions. Nevertheless, sanitation clinics continue to contribute to the prevention of environment-based diseases and vector control. Therefore, strengthening resources and improving the quality of intervention planning are necessary to enhance the effectiveness of sanitation clinic programs.

Balanced nutrition intake is an important factor in supporting the performance of young athletes, especially during the growth period that requires optimal nutrition for intense physical activity. However, the lack of nutritional knowledge among parents of young athletes often leads to nutritional imbalances that have a negative impact on athlete health and performance. This study aims to measure the effect of balanced nutrition education on improving the knowledge and attitudes of parents of athletes at the Kancil Mas Football School (SSB), Karawang. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test design involving 20 respondents who were parents of U-13 athletes. Education was provided in the form of direct counseling sessions and group discussions, which were supplemented with supporting materials such as leaflets. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze changes in parental knowledge and attitude scores before and after the intervention. The results of the analysis showed a significant increase in parents' understanding and positive attitudes towards balanced nutrition after education (p < 0.05). The results showed a significant increase in the level of parents' understanding and positive attitudes towards nutrition after the education intervention. These findings highlight the importance of active parental involvement in ensuring that young athletes' nutritional needs are met, as well as providing a basis for developing nutrition education programs in other sports schools.

The Integrated Primary Care Posyandu (ILP) program requires cadres to assume a much broader role compared to conventional Posyandu services. In the working area of Puskesmas Penusupan, ILP achievement reached only 20% in 2025, while merely 25 out of 225 cadres (11%) had received related training. This condition indicates that cadre readiness needs to be examined more comprehensively before the program can be implemented optimally. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the readiness of ILP Posyandu cadres using a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The study involved 144 cadres selected proportionally from a population of 225 using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through structured interviews using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Spearman Rank), and multivariate (ordinal logistic regression) analyses. The results showed that among the eight variables examined, only skills (r = 0.171; p = 0.040) and resource availability (r = 0.225; p = 0.007) were significantly associated with cadre readiness. In the multivariate analysis, resource availability emerged as the most influential factor with an OR = 2.839 (95% CI: 1.311–6.149), indicating that cadres supported by adequate resources were 2.8 times more likely to demonstrate good readiness. In conclusion, resource availability was identified as the dominant factor associated with the readiness of ILP Posyandu cadres in the working area of Puskesmas Penusupan. Therefore, improving the availability of facilities and infrastructure, providing practice-based training, and strengthening operational support should become priority programs in the future.

Increased caffeine intake is commonly used by students to cope with academic demands, especially during examinations and the completion of final projects. Excessive caffeine consumption may affected sleep quality and potentially influence nutritional status. This study aimed to determine the correlation between caffeine intake, sleep disturbances, and nutritional status among final – year unsergarduated students at Dr. Soekardjo University. This study used quantitative approach with an observational analytic and cross-sectinal design. A total of 108 students participated in the study. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlations test. The findings indicated that the most of respondents with low caffeine intake experienced mild sleep disturbances, totaling 56 respondents (80%). Meanwhile, respondents with moderate and high caffeine intake mostly experienced moderated sleep disturbances, with 13 respondents (61.9%) and 9 respondents (52.9%), respectively. The results showed a significant correlation between caffeine intake and sleep disturbances (p-value=0.000). In all categories of caffeine intake, most respondents had normal nutritional status. However, no significant relationship was found between caffeine intake and nutritional status (p-value=0.351). In conclusion, caffeine intake was associated with sleep disturbances but not with nutritional status among final-year undergraduate students.

A feasibility study is a critical stage in the planning of hospital establishment to ensure investment viability, particularly from a financial perspective. This community service program aims to provide reinforcement in the preparation of a feasibility study for the establishment of a Regional Public Hospital (RSUD) in Barukan Village, Tengaran District, Semarang Regency, through financial feasibility analysis conducted by financial experts. The implementation method was carried out through partner needs identification, delivery of financial analysis materials, interactive discussions, and assistance in developing financial models encompassing cash flow projections, discounted payback period (DPP), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and sensitivity analysis, all of which yielded feasible and acceptable results. The outcomes of the activity demonstrated an improvement in partners' understanding of financial feasibility analysis as well as their ability to interpret investment assessment criteria. In addition, the activity yielded an early-stage draft encompassing the financial feasibility aspects, which is intended to guide stakeholders in making informed decisions related to the founding of the Semarang Regency Regional Public Hospital.

Data security in Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is a crucial issue in health information governance in Indonesia. This study evaluates the compliance of health facility information security systems with Ministry of Health Regulation (PERMENKES) No. 24 of 2022 and Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) No. 27 of 2022, and analyzes the impact of non-compliance on service quality and patient trust. The method employed is a systematic narrative literature review on the Google Scholar database (2023–2026) using the keywords "data security and privacy," "electronic medical records," and "CIA Triad," focusing on the implementation of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. The four healthcare facilities examined have implemented controls such as role-based access control, Electronic Signatures (TTE), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), data encryption, and SSL/TLS protocols in accordance with PERMENKES provisions and Article 35 of the UU PDP. However, the effectiveness of implementation is hindered by weak authentication due to the use of simple passwords and excessively long auto-logout durations, the absence of comprehensive written standard operating procedures (SOPs), low staff compliance with security protocols, and minimal patient awareness regarding personal data protection rights. These weaknesses heighten the risk of patient data breaches as well as potential administrative sanctions and fines, and carry negative implications for service quality and public trust. Recommendations include strengthening internal security policies, developing written SOPs, providing continuous training for healthcare workers, implementing stronger authentication mechanisms (e.g., multi-factor authentication/MFA), and conducting patient awareness programs to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain public confidence.
