Abstract

The global burden of disease, driven largely by preventable lifestyle factors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, and smoking, continues to strain healthcare systems worldwide. In response, health promotion strategies incorporating technological innovations have gained prominence as effective tools for preventive interventions. This study explores various technology-based strategies in health promotion, focusing on their role in encouraging preventive lifestyle changes to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases. The research employs a systematic review methodology, analyzing data from 40 peer-reviewed studies that evaluate the effectiveness of digital interventions such as mobile health apps, telemedicine, and wearable devices in promoting healthy behaviors. The findings indicate that technology-based interventions significantly improve health outcomes by increasing physical activity, enhancing dietary habits, and reducing smoking rates. Additionally, these interventions are shown to be highly effective in engaging populations that may have limited access to traditional healthcare services. The study concludes that technology-based health promotion strategies offer scalable, cost-effective solutions to reducing the burden of disease. However, challenges remain in ensuring equitable access and addressing concerns related to data privacy and security. The research underscores the importance of integrating technological tools into public health strategies to drive long-term improvements in population health.

Abstract

Astigmatism is a refractive error caused by differences in the curvature of the cornea or lens, resulting in light rays not being focused on a single point on the retina. Subjective examinations of astigmatism can be performed using the Jackson Cross Cylinder (JCC) technique and the Fogging Clock Dial method. This study aimed to compare the results of JCC and Fogging Clock Dial examinations in patients with astigmatism at Makassar Eye Hospital in 2025. The research used a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 61 astigmatic patients obtained through accidental sampling. Examinations were conducted using JCC and Fogging Clock Dial to assess cylinder power and axis, and the results were compared using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings showed that most respondents had low astigmatism, namely 75.4% in the right eye (OD) and 78.7% in the left eye (OS). The most frequent axis distribution was against the rule (ATR), both in JCC and Fogging Clock Dial examinations, with 50.8% in OD and 57.4% in OS. The Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 1.000, indicating no significant difference between JCC and Fogging Clock Dial in determining cylinder power and axis. Both JCC and Fogging Clock Dial examinations provided the same results in evaluating astigmatism power and axis. Thus, both methods can be effectively used in clinical practice for astigmatism patients.
