Background: The number of Indonesian care staff working in hospitals and long-term care facilities caring for persons with dementia in Japan is increasing; however, there is no instrument available in the Indonesian language to assess their dementia care practice.
Objectives: This study aimed to translate the Person-centered Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT) and evaluate its psychometric properties in a sample of Indonesian care staff working in dementia care and long-term care facilities in Japan.
Methods: This is a descriptive, methodological, and cross-sectional study. The P-CAT was translated into the Indonesian language. The draft was administered to Indonesian care staff (n = 218) working at long-term care facilities in Japan. Data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), known-group validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
Results: EFA showed three-factor and CFA of the three-factor indicated that the model had an acceptable fit (chi-squared statistics/degree of freedom = 1.78, comparative fit index = 0.94, root mean square error of approximation = 0.06) with a slightly different structure compared to the original P-CAT. Regarding known-group validity, the P-CAT total score was significantly higher for those who had training in dementia, who knew about person-centred care, and who showed satisfaction in the job. Internal consistency (Cronbach's α) of the total scale was 0.68 which is considered acceptable, and the test-retest reliability intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.61 which is considered moderate.
Conclusion: The Indonesian P-CAT indicated sound validity and reliability to measure person-centred care among Indonesian care staff working in dementia care and long-term care facilities in Japan.
Implication For Practice: The development of Indonesian P-CAT allows the evaluation of dementia care, promotes and further improves person-centred care for persons with dementia provided by Indonesian care staff working in long-term care facilities in Japan.

Introduction: Indonesia comprises 16,771 islands, including 111 small islands and atolls. The Indonesian government has established community health centres, known as puskesmas in Indonesian, to provide health services to the entire populations of the country, including those in remote areas. In 2014, the Indonesian government introduced a national health insurance system with the goal of providing equitable access to health care for all citizens.

Background: The primary health care service in Indonesia consists of 10,260 public health centers (Puskesmas), which play a major role in providing health care in the community, recording and reporting health data using digital health information systems (HIS) or manual reports. The utilization of HIS across Puskesmas is crucial to capture the dynamic evolution of health problems and monitor interventions, thus providing effective primary health care services for the community.
Objective: This paper provides a national-level baseline mapping of HIS utilization in Indonesian Puskesmas.

Family caregivers play a crucial role in the long-term care of individuals with schizophrenia, yet they often face significant challenges. The responsibilities involved in caregiving can lead to a considerable caregiver burden, which may result in adverse outcomes for both the caregiver and the person with schizophrenia, so there will be a risk of experiencing caregiver burden which can give rise to new problems for the family. This research aims to identify factors that cause caregiver burden on families in caring for clients with schizophrenia.

Domesticating Betta splendens has yielded extensive insights into reproductive biology, breeding requirements, and parental care behaviors while also providing essential guidance for conserving endangered Indonesian wild Betta species. Adapted to fragile, acidic blackwater habitats, wild Betta species exhibit unique reproductive strategies, notably bubble nest building and mouthbrooding, which share both similarities and differences with domesticated strains. These distinct behaviors create both opportunities and challenges when applying breeding techniques developed for domesticated species to their wild counterparts, necessitating careful consideration of ecological requirements, genetic diversity, and reproductive dynamics.
