Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health threat, especially in Indonesia, which has one of the highest incidence rates. Effective treatment adherence is essential for controlling the disease. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the role of nurses and patient adherence in TB treatment, taking into account various social and economic factors. Methods Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 41 TB patients and nurses at Pondok Meja Health Center through the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using univariate statistical test, and bivariate with chi-square test. The results showed a strong correlation between patient adherence and the role of nurses as educators and motivators. Providing active education had a p-value of 0.002, while regular reminders had a p-value of 0.001. It can be concluded that the role of nurses in education, routine reminders, communication with families, and home visits have a significant relationship with the level of adherence of TB patients. Socioeconomic factors such as family support, access to health services, and economic conditions also play an important role in improving patient compliance.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of health promotion through social media in increasing adolescents' knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The sample consisted of 75 senior high school students selected using purposive sampling based on specific criteria. Data collection was conducted through pre-test and post-test questionnaires administered before and after the intervention within a specified time period. Bivariate analysis using paired t-tests showed that there was a significant increase in adolescents' awareness of HIV after the health promotion intervention via social media, with the average score increasing from 56.4 to 78.9 (p  0.001). In practical terms, the results of this study recommend that health promotion programmes among adolescents integrate social media as the main platform for delivering educational messages, paying attention to content quality, visual appeal, and interactive engagement.

Abstract

Complete basic immunization is a key public health intervention to prevent infectious diseases in children. However, coverage remains suboptimal in parts of Indonesia, including Padang. One factor influencing this is family economic status, which can impact access, awareness, and compliance with immunization programs. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family economic status and complete basic immunization coverage among children aged 12–24 months in the Ambacang Health Center working area, Padang. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional design was used. The sample included 50 mothers with children aged 12–23 months, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and immunization records, and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: Of the respondents, 58% came from low-income families, while 42% were from middle-to-upper economic backgrounds. The coverage of complete basic immunization was 66%. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between family economic status and immunization coverage (p = 0.021). Children from higher-income families were more likely to be fully immunized. Implications: These findings underscore the need for public health programs to consider socioeconomic factors when planning interventions. Targeted education and improved access to immunization services are especially needed for low-income communities. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between family economic status and complete basic immunization coverage, highlighting the importance of equity-based approaches in immunization programs.
