Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of social media in health education and its impact on changes in public health behavior. In the era of globalization and the advancement of information technology, social media has become a powerful tool to spread health information quickly and widely. To find out more about their thoughts on the use of social media in health education, students from IKM 5 Faculty of Public Health (FKM) took part in this qualitative descriptive study. According to the interviews, social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube are considered helpful for spreading the latest health information, but they can also cause problems by containing false information that can mislead the public. Female students stated that they prefer to get health information from leading medical experts and underlined the importance of creating engaging and understandable content. Social media has the ability to influence lifestyle and health decisions because it has a lot of content that promotes healthy living. However, if the information disseminated is wrong, there can be detrimental effects. The study came to the conclusion that while social media can be a useful tool for promoting health, it should be used with caution to prevent the spread of false information. Therefore, to optimize the advantages of social media in health education, a plan is needed to improve digital literacy.

Abstract

Gender inequality remains a persistent challenge in developing countries and has a direct impact on health development governance. This study aims to analyze the role of gender equality in improving access to reproductive health services, with a particular focus on women's autonomy, empowerment, and education. A literature review was conducted by searching for national and international articles published between 2021 and 2025 through Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink databases. Of the articles screened, 15 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the final analysis. The findings identified four major themes, with gender inequality as a structural barrier emerging as the most dominant issue, followed by the importance of reproductive health education, women's empowerment, and inclusive access to health services. The results indicate that women's autonomy in household decision-making and access to information significantly increase the utilization of maternal and reproductive health services. Conversely, patriarchal norms and male dominance continue to restrict women's reproductive health rights. In conclusion, gender equality is an essential prerequisite for achieving equitable and effective access to healthcare. Sustainable improvements in reproductive health outcomes cannot be attained solely through clinical services without addressing the root causes of gender-based inequality.
