Abstract

In Bugis-Makassar families with a patriarchal cultural system, men are the backbone of the family and women only work in the domestic realm. The main problem faced by widows and divorcees of coastal fishers is the dual role that requires them to take care of the household and children as well as earn a living for the needs of the family. This dual function requires a widow to have a strategy and carry out these two roles simultaneously. This study aims to find out how the strategies for making a living for widows of coastal fishers in improving the family economy. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study method. The data collection technique uses a purposive sampling for determining the informant and conducting in-depth interview technique with eight widows consisting of four widows and four divorcees. We also observed the daily activities of the informants. Meanwhile, the interview process was carried out using semi-structured interviews about how the strategy for earning a living was carried out so that it could support the family economy. The study found social capital-based livelihood strategies for poor fishers. They often interpret the strategy as a way or an alternative to a situation. In this case, the widow or divorcee of a coastal fisher is part of the community. Widows and divorcees who work in more than one type of work make their association with others as a form of social capital. Thus, they can provide support to each other as aform of social security and  social capital to support the family.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the participation of husbands/male siblings as promotional agents for early breast cancer screening in patriarchal regions and to analyze the dynamics of their involvement in women's health campaigns. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted in Mamuju Regency during January-February 2025. The research subjects consisted of 24 respondents (12 males and 12 females) selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), participatory observation, and questionnaires. Qualitative data analysis utilized thematic analysis with triangulation, while quantitative data were analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal a significant paradox between high participation motivation and low knowledge levels among males. The average knowledge of males regarding breast cancer was only 34.6% compared to 66.9% for females, with the largest gap in aspects of breast self-examination (BSE) methods (17% vs 58%) and risk factors (33% vs 75%). Nevertheless, male participation motivation was remarkably strong, driven by personal factors (loss experiences), relational factors (family affection), and religious factors (religious obligations). Male involvement was proven to increase female compliance with early detection by 75% and create a dynamic support system within households. Male participation as promotional agents for early breast cancer screening in patriarchal regions proves effective despite knowledge limitations. Caring masculinity can develop within patriarchal contexts through strategic reframing without eliminating traditional masculine identity. Effective intervention strategies include religious legitimization, familial approaches, and empowerment of accompanying roles. This research demonstrates that emotional engagement and procedural support can compensate for cognitive limitations in health advocacy, providing new insights for developing gender-sensitive health promotion programs in patriarchal societies.

Abstract

Indonesia faces unique challenges with breast cancer affecting younger populations, necessitating early health literacy interventions among adolescents to achieve SDG 3.4 targets. To develop a predictive model identifying determinants of breast cancer literacy among Indonesian adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March-June 2025 in West Sulawesi Province. The sample comprised 58 female adolescents (ages 14-17) from high schools (n=26, 44.8%) and vocational schools (n=32, 55.2%). Data collection utilized validated online surveys measuring ten breast cancer literacy indicators. Binary logistic regression with backward elimination was performed using SPSS 25.0. Overall, 56.9% (n=33) demonstrated inadequate literacy levels, with only 43.1% (n=25) achieving adequate levels. Critical knowledge deficits were found in prevention strategies (1.7% correct) and risk factor identification (37.3% correct), contrasting with high awareness of medical follow-up procedures (96.6% correct). The logistic regression model (Nagelkerke R²=0.618, Hosmer-Lemeshow p=0.512) identified four significant determinants: enrollment in high schools versus vocational schools (OR=4.3, 95% CI: 1.27-14.55, p=0.019), healthcare provider information sources (OR=7.3, 95% CI: 1.44-10.46, p=0.016), digital learning media utilization (OR=3.4, 95% CI: 1.13-10.46, p=0.031), and frequent health information-seeking behavior (OR=3.4, 95% CI: 1.01-11.66, p=0.048). This model enables targeted resource allocation for cancer prevention strategies supporting SDG 3.4, potentially reducing premature mortality through enhanced early detection behaviors among Indonesia's future generations.
