Background: The National Health Insurance (JKN) program organized by the Social Security Agency (BPJS) Health has a strategic role in ensuring fair, equitable, and sustainable access to health services for all Indonesians. However, the level of compliance with BPJS Mandiri participant contributions remains a problem, especially in areas with limited access to health services and diverse socio-economic conditions. Low compliance with contribution payments can impact the sustainability of the national health insurance system financing.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors that influence compliance with BPJS Mandiri participant contributions in the Kolono Community Health Center working area, South Konawe Regency, in 2025.

Method: The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 48 respondents selected through a non-probability sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire that measured motivation variables, perceptions of BPJS Kesehatan, distance to health care facilities, and income levels. Data were analyzed using statistical tests to see the relationship between independent variables and compliance with contribution payments. Results: The study showed that motivation had a significant relationship with compliance with premium payments (p = 0.046; r = 0.246), although with a weak relationship strength. Participant perceptions were significantly related to compliance (p = 0.000; r = 0.566) with a moderate level of relationship. Distance to health service facilities also showed a significant relationship (p = 0.000; r = 0.576), confirming the importance of service accessibility. In addition, income was significantly related to compliance with premium payments (p = 0.003; r = 0.374).

Discussion: Simultaneously, these four variables contributed 52.8% to compliance with BPJS Mandiri premium payments.

Conclusion: These findings indicate that increasing compliance requires a comprehensive approach through education, improving service quality, and policies that expand access and financial support for low-income communities.

Systematic Literature Review (SLR): The Influence of Independence, Competence, Motivation and Experience of Internal Audit Unit Auditors on the Effectiveness of Internal Control at the Public Service Agency (BLU) of the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia

/in /by

The effectiveness of internal control (ICC) in the Public Service Agency (BLU) of the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia is a crucial issue in public sector financial governance. In its implementation, the quality of supervision is often influenced by various individual and institutional factors, including the independence, competence, motivation, and experience of the Internal Supervisory Unit (ISC) auditors. So far, research in various sectors has shown mixed results; some studies emphasize the importance of independence as the basis for auditor objectivity, while others show that organizational dynamics can influence the extent to which independence can be optimally implemented. Likewise, the competence, motivation, and experience of auditors, each of which has a different role depending on the characteristics of the organization, workload, and the control system implemented. This study conducted a systematic literature review to identify the influence of independence, competence, motivation, and experience of internal auditors in the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. A total of 10 national and international articles published between 2019 and 2025 were selected. A systematic search was conducted on electronic databases EBSCO, ProQuest, Google Scholar, Publish or Peris and national journal repositories. Articles were selected through a two-stage screening process that met the inclusion criteria. Data were extracted using a standardized instrument and synthesized narratively, focusing on research design and methodological quality. The results of the synthesis indicate that these four factors do not operate in isolation but interact with each other and significantly influence the effectiveness of internal control in BLUs. This study emphasizes the need for increased auditor capacity, strengthened professional ethics, and institutional support to minimize potential irregularities and improve oversight quality.

/in /by

In this research study, the aim is to inspect the attitudes toward mathematics amongst disciplines, gender, and STEM and non-STEM students. To attain this objective, a questionnaire-based research was chosen; this instrument with 20 items in total consisted of four components, namely, self-confidence, enjoyment, motivation, and value. A total of 391 university students answered the questionnaire; the data is tested and analysed using SPSS 20. Since the data was not normally distributed, the Kruskal-Wallis Test for each factor was performed to check for significant differences across disciplines and post hoc tests in all cases to confirm which pairs have differences. Results of pair comparison revealed that a significant difference in all factors exists between Math Education (with higher mean rank) and other disciplines. To provide evidence of the possibility of group differences between STEM and non-STEM students in self-confidence, value, enjoyment, and motivation, the Mann-Whitney U Test is used. Findings detected slightly more positive attitudes among STEM students than non-STEM students. Performing the Mann-Whitney U Test for each factor revealed a significant difference between them with a medium effect size. Related to gender, no significant difference was detected. Whereas a significant difference was detected regarding gender among students in STEM disciplines. Evaluating attitudes of the respondents towards mathematics revealed that students had a moderately high level of enjoyment, self-confidence, and motivation in learning mathematics.

The Motivations of Non-English Major Students: A Case Study at a Private University in Ho Chi Minh City

/in /by

Motivation is considered as attitudes toward the teacher, students, coursework, curriculum-related activities, and all other elements of the state in which a language is taught. This definition of motivation in language learning emphasizes that it is a complex concept because motivation is not only the cognitive attitude of the learner but also related to many other factors, such as teachers, curriculum, and other elements of the learning environment (Gardner, 1985). This study aims to identify the motivations of second-year non-English major students at a private university in Ho Chi Minh City and the factors that significantly influence their learning motivation. Data were collected from 200 students through a questionnaire, which was developed based on the results of group interviews with 10 students. The research applied a mix-methods approach. The findings indicate that extrinsic motivation strongly influences students’ language learning, with factors as job opportunity, learning environment, and teaching method having a positive impact. Based on these findings, the study proposes strategies to leverage extrinsic motivation to enhance students’ learning outcomes.

This experimental study investigates which instructional strategies are effective in promoting situational interest in learning mathematics among secondary school students. This research study builds on established theories of interest and mathematics education. Situational interest is an important facet of learning engagement, and it can potentially enhance students’ interest and motivation in class.  A total of 165 students were engaged in this study, selected from three diverse secondary schools in Georgetown, Guyana, encompassing different grade levels and varying motivating profiles. This study employed a quantitative research design, providing a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between instructional strategies and situational interest. Participants were given a carefully constructed questionnaire that entails questions about their level of situational interest and their perceptions of various instructional strategies used in their mathematics classroom. Results suggested visual aids, inquiry-based learning, and collaborative learning are most effective in promoting situational interest. These findings highlight the interplay between pedagogical approaches and students’ motivation, and how closely connected they are. This emphasizes the importance of using teaching strategies that align with students’ interests and needs.
