Employing a simple random sample, 115 healthcare professionals were surveyed using a questionnaire based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) administered via Google Forms. The study primarily focuses on various perceptions including susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy towards hand hygiene. Statistical analyses, both descriptive to outline the general tendencies and inferential to explore the interconnections between different HBM constructs, aim to provide insights into the factors influencing hand hygiene practices. This research underscores the critical gaps between knowledge and actual hand hygiene behavior, particularly evident among healthcare students, highlighting the need for targeted educational strategies to enhance compliance and reduce disease transmission effectively.</p> Dedianto Dedianto Agus Sukrisyanto Copyright (c) 2024 Dedianto Dedianto, Agus Sukrisyanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-22 2024-04-22 3 4 623 640 10.55927/fjst.v3i4.8842 https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/fjst/article/view/8843 <p>This study evaluates the implementation of the Indonesian Healthcare Facility Accreditation Agency (LAFKI)'s Person-Centred Care (PCC) principles in healthcare settings. Focusing on patient experiences, the research addresses the effectiveness of PCC practices in enhancing health outcomes and patient satisfaction. The methodology employed involves a quantitative descriptive design, gathering data through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms to participants selected through purposive sampling from hospitals, clinics, and puskesmas. Findings indicate that while a majority of patients felt treated as unique individuals, a significant gap exists in respecting cultural values and beliefs during the decision-making process. The study highlights the need for healthcare providers to improve cultural sensitivity and patient engagement to bridge the ideological and practical implementation of PCC. The research contributes to the empirical literature by identifying barriers to effective PCC implementation and offering evidence-based recommendations for healthcare facilities to enhance their services. This aligns with LAFKI's goal of not just meeting but exceeding standards in providing holistic, person-centred care.</p> Friedrich M Rumintjap Ahyar Wahyudi Cashtri Meher Dewi Yuliana Listyo Yuwanto Copyright (c) 2024 Friedrich M Rumintjap, Ahyar Wahyudi, Cashtri Meher, Dewi Yuliana, Listyo Yuwanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-04-26 2024-04-26 3 4 641 670 10.55927/fjst.v3i4.8843
