Abstract

Medication adherence and self-management remain major challenges in chronic disease management, contributing to poor health outcomes and increased healthcare utilization. Although mobile health (mHealth) interventions have shown promise, evidence on locally developed applications in Indonesia remains limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the SAHABAT OBAT mobile health application in improving medication adherence, self-management, and usability among patients with chronic diseases. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest study was conducted among 30 adults with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or heart disease who used the application for four weeks. Medication adherence, self-management, and usability were assessed using the MMAS-8, Partners in Health Scale, and System Usability Scale. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Medication adherence increased significantly (5.60±2.27 vs. 6.60±1.67; p=0.003; r=0.55), as did self-management (44.70±7.34 vs. 46.03±6.07; p=0.006; r=0.50). The application achieved an excellent usability score (SUS=91.68). Integrating reminders, education, and self-monitoring into a single mobile platform may strengthen patient engagement and support sustainable self-management. SAHABAT OBAT effectively improved medication adherence and self-management while demonstrating excellent usability, supporting its integration into primary healthcare for chronic disease management.

Abstract

Recovery has become a central focus in contemporary mental health care. However, evidence on the meaning of recovery from the perspectives of mental health survivors remains limited in Indonesia. This study aimed to explore the meaning of recovery among mental health survivors. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Ten mental health survivors were recruited through purposive sampling from a mental health community in West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected between March and May 2025 using semi-structured discussion guides and analyzed through thematic analysis. Four themes emerged from the data: (1) self-acceptance and confidence to move forward, (2) social support as a source of recovery strength, (3) stigma as a challenge in the recovery journey, and (4) hope for a meaningful life. Participants perceived recovery as a dynamic process involving personal growth, supportive relationships, overcoming stigma, and pursuing meaningful goals. Recovery was influenced by both individual and social factors. Self-acceptance, social support, and hope facilitated recovery, whereas stigma remained a significant barrier. Recovery extends beyond symptom reduction and involves rebuilding identity, strengthening social connections, and achieving a meaningful life. Recovery-oriented mental health nursing should promote empowerment, social support, and stigma reduction to support survivors' recovery journeys.
