Article Abstract
Background: The implementation of the National Health Insurance System (NHIS) in Indonesia has been changing the primary care physician (PCP) work condition and their job satisfaction.
Objective: This research aimed to explore the reasons behind PCPs' satisfaction and dissatisfaction with job satisfaction's aspect under the NHIS reform.
Methods: We conducted an exploratory qualitative study within two areas in Central Java, Indonesia, using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 34 PCPs and 19 triangulation sources. We conducted both inductive and deductive analyses by the NVivo 11.
Results: Most PCPs felt dissatisfied with the following aspects of the NHIS: referral system, NHIS health services standard, NHIS programmes, performance evaluation and pay-for-performance, relationship with patient and workloads. PCPs felt constrained with the referral regulation and non-specialist diagnoses, which led to dissatisfaction with performance evaluation and the pay-for-performance implementation. Furthermore, an increase in workload and conflict with patients resulted from patients' misunderstanding the NHIS health service procedures. However, PCPs felt satisfied with the chronic disease management programme and patients' appreciation.
Conclusions: This study presents the reasons behind PCPs' satisfaction and dissatisfaction with job satisfaction's aspect under the NHIS reform. There is a need for additional discussion among all stakeholders (Ministry of Health, Social Security Agency for Health/SSAH, primary health care and physician's professional organizations about the non-specialist diagnoses list, performance evaluation and pay-for-performance). The government and SSAH need to improve the communication and socialization of the NHIS procedures/regulations.

Introduction: Multicancer detection tests (MCDs) are blood-based tests designed to detect multiple cancer types. It is currently unclear whether these cancer screening tests improve mortality. To understand awareness of MCDs among providers and patients, as well as explore how they perceive the benefits, harms, and acceptability of MCDs, we have undertaken a focus group study in primary care physicians (PCPs) and laypersons to explore knowledge, attitudes, and expectations of cancer screening using MCDs.

Article Synopsis
- Physicians find it challenging to determine if older patients are on statins for primary or secondary prevention due to limited evidence, complicating decisions about continuing or stopping the medication.
- There are concerns about potential negative effects from discontinuing statins, including fear of rebound symptoms and the impact on the patient-physician relationship.
- The study emphasizes the importance of shared decision-making in primary care settings, where PCPs can leverage their long-term relationships with patients to navigate medication management effectively.

High-performance sensors play a crucial role in smart wearable technology and human-machine interaction. However, traditional metal- and silicon-based sensors face drawbacks, including limited flexibility, high cost, degradation issues, and insufficient sensitivity. Conductive composite fibers were produced using the spinning solution of PAN and PVB mixed with CNTs and spun at a flow rate of 20 mL·h.
