Abstract

The rapid expansion of mobile health (mHealth) applications has reshaped contemporary healthcare by enabling continuous preventive health management and enhancing patient engagement beyond traditional clinical settings. This study aims to examine how mHealth applications contribute to preventive health behaviors and patient engagement, with particular attention to usage patterns, behavioral outcomes, and contextual influences. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative analysis of user surveys and application usage data with qualitative insights from interviews and a community-based case study. The findings reveal that frequent and sustained use of mHealth applications is associated with improved preventive behaviors, including increased physical activity, better dietary adherence, and enhanced medication compliance. The results also show that mHealth applications strengthen patient engagement by fostering greater health awareness, self-efficacy, and interaction with healthcare providers. However, variations in outcomes are influenced by digital literacy, personalization features, and the level of contextual support available to users. The study concludes that mHealth applications function as effective tools for transforming preventive health and patient engagement, but their impact depends on user-centered design and integration within broader health systems. The novelty of this research lies in its integrated analysis of preventive health outcomes and patient engagement within a single empirical framework, highlighting mHealth as a foundational component of modern, participatory preventive healthcare.

Abstract

Background. The widespread availability of podcasts and the ubiquity of mobile devices enable learners to access diverse listening materials anytime and anywhere, making this approach highly suitable for ubiquitous learning. Purpose. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of podcast-based learning in improving learners’ listening comprehension skills by employing a ubiquitous learning approach. It also sought to examine learners’ engagement and perceptions of the effectiveness of podcast-based learning compared to traditional listening instruction. Method. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups of learners. The experimental group used podcasts as the primary listening tool, while the control group relied on traditional listening methods. Results. The findings revealed a significant improvement in listening comprehension among learners in the podcast-based learning group compared to those in the control group. In addition, learners exposed to podcast-based learning reported higher levels of engagement, satisfaction, and perceived effectiveness than those using traditional methods. Conclusion. The study concludes that podcast-based learning is an effective and engaging tool for enhancing listening comprehension, particularly in contexts where traditional classroom-based learning is limited or not feasible.

Abstract

The rise of ride-hailing platforms has significantly transformed the labor market in Indonesia, especially within the gig economy. As a rapidly growing sector, these platforms offer flexible work opportunities, attracting millions of workers. However, the impact of ride-hailing on the livelihoods and social welfare of gig economy workers remains understudied. This research aims to explore how ride-hailing platforms influence the income stability, social security, and overall well-being of gig workers in Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was used for this study, combining surveys and in-depth interviews with 300 gig workers from major cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta. The survey collected quantitative data on income patterns, job satisfaction, and access to social benefits, while qualitative interviews provided deeper insights into the social and psychological effects of gig work. The findings indicate that while ride-hailing platforms offer a source of income and flexible working hours, they also expose workers to income instability, lack of social protection, and job insecurity. Only 15% of workers reported having access to formal social security benefits, with many relying on informal networks for support. Additionally, mental health concerns were prevalent due to the unpredictable nature of gig work and the absence of a supportive work environment. The study concludes that while ride-hailing platforms offer significant economic opportunities, there is an urgent need for policy reforms that address workers' rights, social security, and job security to ensure the sustainability of their livelihoods and well-being.
