Abstract

Background: Smoking behavior is one of the leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases and has a significant impact on individual and community nutritional status. In South Sulawesi, the prevalence of active smokers remains high, particularly among the productive age group. Evidence-based health promotion interventions are necessary to reduce this prevalence while simultaneously improving community nutrition. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of various health promotion intervention approaches in preventing smoking behavior and to evaluate their impact on the nutritional status of communities in South Sulawesi. Methods: A descriptive-analytical literature review was conducted using articles published between 2016 and 2025 from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Garuda databases. The selection process followed PRISMA guidelines. A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using thematic synthesis. Results: Health promotion interventions such as motivational interviewing-based counseling, group education, and social media campaigns were proven to significantly reduce the prevalence of smoking behavior. Reduction in smoking behavior positively correlated with improvements in nutritional status, indicated by increased intake of essential nutrients and reduced risk of stunting and micronutrient deficiencies in target populations. Conclusions: Integrated and community-participation-based health promotion approaches were proven effective in preventing smoking behavior and contribute to improving nutritional status in South Sulawesi communities. Integration of these interventions into regional health programs is strongly recommended.

Abstract

 Background: Sexual violence and reproductive health issues remain major public health concerns among adolescents and young adults. Conventional health education often fails to address these sensitive topics effectively due to social stigma and limited participant engagement. Forum theatre has emerged as a participatory, arts-based approach that encourages dialogue, critical reflection, and active learning. Aim: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of forum theatre in improving knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavioral intentions related to sexual violence prevention and reproductive health. Methods: A descriptive-analytical literature review was conducted using articles published between 2015 and 2024 from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Garuda. The selection process followed PRISMA guidelines. A total of 12 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using thematic synthesis. Results: Forum theatre interventions consistently improved participants’ knowledge of sexual consent and reproductive health (p<0.05), reduced acceptance of gender-based violence, and enhanced self-efficacy in resisting coercion and seeking help. Behavioral intentions, including reporting violence and practicing safer behaviors, also showed significant improvement. Emotional engagement and participatory learning were identified as key mechanisms driving these outcomes. Conclusions: Forum theatre is an effective and culturally adaptable approach for addressing sensitive issues in sexual violence prevention and reproductive health promotion. Its integration into educational and community-based programs may strengthen public health interventions.
