The Influence of Compensation and Employee Engagement on Employee Performance: A Study at Bogor Hospital

2026-02-20T10:05:02+00:00

Human resource management literature indicates that compensation and employee engagement are two important factors influencing employee performance. However, empirical findings in the healthcare sector, particularly in developing countries, remain inconsistent. This study aims to analyze the influence of compensation and employee engagement on employee performance at Bogor Hospital in Bogor. This study used a quantitative approach with an associative design. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire from 55 permanent employees and analyzed using validity and reliability tests, simple and multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, Pearson correlation, and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that compensation had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while employee engagement had a positive but insignificant effect in the multiple regression model. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influenced employee performance, contributing 46.0%. The novelty of this study lies in the finding that, in the context of private hospitals in Indonesia, compensation plays a more dominant role than employee engagement, contrasting with the dominant findings in Western literature that position engagement as the primary predictor of performance. This research contributes to the literature on contextual human resource management and provides strategic implications for HR management in the healthcare sector.

Implementation of Passive Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises to Improve Muscle Strength in Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients in the MTSK Ward of BLUD RSUD Baubau City

2026-04-17T07:11:05+00:00

Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a condition characterized by the loss of neurological function due to impaired blood flow to the brain, which results in muscle weakness and impaired physical mobility. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of passive Range of Motion (ROM) exercises in improving muscle strength in patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke. The study used a descriptive case study design involving one adult patient experiencing impaired physical mobility. The intervention consisted of passive ROM exercises administered for five consecutive days. The theoretical approach applied includes physical rehabilitation theory and the concept of basic human needs, with inputs consisting of the patient’s clinical condition and pre-intervention muscle strength values. Data were collected through observation and measurement using a muscle strength scale. The results showed an increase in muscle strength of the right upper extremity from grade 1 to 5, and the right lower extremity from grade 1 to 5 after the intervention. The hypothesis that passive ROM exercises can improve muscle strength was supported. It is concluded that passive ROM exercises are effective in increasing muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. Nurses are recommended to implement this intervention as part of nursing care. These findings are important as a basis for simple and effective interventions to improve the quality of life of stroke patients.

A Critical Analysis of Health Promotion Interventions in the Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases A Systematic Review

2026-05-20T03:50:34+00:00

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have emerged as a leading global health concern that imposes a considerable economic and social burden. Although a wide range of health promotion strategies has been applied, their capacity to produce lasting behavioural change and to lower NCD prevalence remains contested. The present study sets out to critically examine various health promotion interventions for NCD prevention through a systematic review, with the aim of pinpointing the most effective strategies as well as the obstacles encountered during implementation. A systematic review design was adopted in line with the PRISMA guidelines. The literature was retrieved from electronic database such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, covering articles published over the preceding ten years. Eligible records comprised studies addressing NCD health promotion interventions in both developing and developed countries. Data were appraised through a narrative synthesis of the relevant findings. The results indicate that interventions confined to individual education achieve only limited success in sustaining long-term behavioural change. By contrast, multisectoral interventions that integrate fiscal policy (taxation), environmental modification (nudging), and digital technology (m-Health) proved markedly more effective. In developing countries the principal constraints stem from limited resources and weak community participation, whereas in developed countries the main challenge lies in addressing social disparities in access to health information.

Effectiveness Health education based on Behavioral theory of change Public health behavior: Sistematic Literature Review

2026-05-21T08:43:47+00:00

Introduction : A strategic initiative to enhance the attainment of optimal health status is improving public health behavior. Research shows that health education initiatives can increase self-efficacy and community preparedness for disasters, both of which are critical to encouraging lasting behavior change. Public health education is not only information, but also a systematic effort to change individual and community attitudes and behaviors to promote and prevent health systems at the national and global levels. Objective : Of this study to analyze how health education based on behavioral theory can alter public health behavior. Metodu: Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, utilizing PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Data were obtained from three scientific databases : Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, from 2021-2026 total 50 articles. Results : Educational interventions based on the behavioral theories of Health Belief Model (HBM), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Behavior Regulation Theory (BRT) are important public health strategies to change population behavior. Education not only enhances knowledge, but also influences psychosocial constructs such as attitude, self-efficacy, and risk perception, which play a major role in determining health behavior. However, evidence also shows that education alone is not sufficient, as social and environmental barriers such as lack of time, routine, and social support continue to be major obstacles. Conclusion : Theory-based education is effective in initiating behavior change, but to achieve lasting population impact, an integrated approach that considers individual, social, and environmental factors is needed.

2026-05-05T12:19:12+00:00

Environmentally sound development is a global paradigm that places environmental quality as a primary determinant of human health and long-term development sustainability. In the context of increasing anthropogenic pressure on the global ecosystem, the integration of environmental and health dimensions is becoming increasingly essential in the formulation of development policies. This article aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the concept, theoretical basis, implementation strategies, and various challenges in implementing environmentally sound development on a global scale, including its implications for public health and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ). The method used is a semi-systematic literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach, which analyzes indexed international scientific publications, global organization reports, and policy documents published between 2015 and 2025. The results of the study indicate that an environmentally based development approach contributes significantly to improving ecosystem quality and reducing the burden of disease related to environmental factors, with estimated reductions in morbidity ranging from 30% to 55% in various global intervention contexts. The successful implementation of this approach is heavily influenced by several key factors, namely the integration of environmental health monitoring systems, strengthening cross-sectoral governance, utilizing technological innovation, and active community involvement. Thus, development based on a clean and healthy environment can be seen as a fundamental prerequisite for achieving sustainable global development, while ensuring the health of current and future generations.

Analysis of Disease Prevention Behavior Based on Health Belief Model (HBM)

2026-04-26T05:55:56+00:00

Disease prevention behavior is an essential component of public health promotion, yet its psychological determinants require further exploration in the post-COVID-19 Malaysian context. This study analyzes factors influencing disease prevention behavior using the Health Belief Model (HBM) framework. A quantitative cross-sectional approach was applied to 320 respondents from Malaysian urban communities through purposive sampling. Analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS (SmartPLS 4.0) with 5,000 bootstrapping subsamples. Results demonstrate that self-efficacy (β=0.358, p<0.001), perceived benefits (β=0.319, p<0.001), perceived susceptibility (β=0.287, p<0.01), perceived severity (β=0.241, p<0.01), and perceived barriers (β=-0.196, p<0.05) significantly influence disease prevention behavior. Cues to action moderated the perceived susceptibility–prevention behavior relationship (β=0.143, p<0.05). The model explained 61.7% of variance (R²=0.617, Q²=0.389). Findings support individually-tailored health promotion interventions and community self-efficacy strengthening.

The Impact of Consumption of Protein and Carbohydrate Sources on Stunting in Toddlers 24-59 months at Gleno Inpatient Health Center, Ermera Municipality, Timor-Leste

2026-04-10T11:01:13+00:00

Stunting is a serious condition that affects children and significantly hinders their growth and development. Globally, at least 162 million children under the age of five are affected by stunting. A study conducted between 2020 and 2024 involved 177 children aged 24 to 59 months, including 85 boys and 92 girls. The study aimed to investigate the impact of protein and carbohydrate intake on stunting in toddlers within this age range.

This research utilized a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The target population consisted of mothers who brought their children to the Gleno Inpatient Community Health Center, resulting in 177 respondents. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test, with support from SPSS software (Version 21.0).

The results of the chi-square test indicated a significant relationship between protein intake and the incidence of stunting, with a p-value of 0.05, which is greater than 0.01. Similarly, the analysis of carbohydrate intake also yielded a p-value of 0.05, suggesting a significant relationship between carbohydrate consumption and the incidence of stunting.

In conclusion, the findings suggest that protein and carbohydrate consumption negatively impact stunted children aged 24 to 59 months at the Gleno Inpatient Health Center in 2024, with an effect size of 6.3%. This implies that while nutritional intake appears to be satisfactory, the implementation of interventions to address stunting is not optimal.
