Abstract

This study explores the complex interplay of respiratory health, air quality, and demographic traits in the Tangerang locality. Moderate pollution levels were found through continuous monitoring of air quality measures, such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3). A 12% rise in hospital admissions for respiratory illnesses and a prevalence of symptoms were found in respiratory health assessments, which included surveys and health records. Analyses of correlation and regression highlighted the importance of O3, PM2.5, and NO2 in affecting respiratory health outcomes. The insights pertaining to demographics revealed differences in vulnerability among various age groups, genders, and occupational categories. The results inform suggestions for focused interventions, continuous surveillance, public education initiatives, and subcategory evaluations to tackle the complex issues brought about by air pollution in Tangerang.

Abstract

The exploration of collaborative research in healthcare is a dynamic and multifaceted endeavor, as evidenced by analysis of influential articles, citation patterns, and keyword frequencies. Davenport and Prusak's seminal work on knowledge management serves as a foundational foundation, emphasizing the critical role of effective knowledge utilization and sharing in collaborative healthcare research. This research explores linkages with other influential articles, including Scott's examination of social network analysis, Star and Griesemer's insights on institutional ecology, and Tranfield et al.'s methodology on evidence-based knowledge management. Further analysis extends to works on thematic analysis, inter-organizational collaboration, cancer genomics, and qualitative research methods, all of which contribute to a rich tapestry of collaborative healthcare research. Keyword analysis revealed thematic priorities, with a major focus on "Care" and "Experience", emphasizing the human dimension of healthcare. Challenges, technology and organizational aspects emerged as prominent themes, reflecting a holistic approach to collaborative exploration. The interplay between keywords such as "Dynamic", "Mechanisms", and "Performance" underscores the evolving nature of collaborative efforts and the need for strategic mechanisms to address challenges and improve performance. The analysis also highlights contemporary concerns, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, barriers to collaboration, and the intersection of mental health and social media.

Abstract

This study employs bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer to map the landscape of health promotion research from 2004 to 2014. By analyzing research publications in this field, we identify thematic clusters, research trends, and emerging opportunities for future investigations. Our analysis reveals several thematic clusters central to health promotion, including health education, empowerment, community engagement, and the role of healthcare professionals. A temporal analysis of the research trends indicates a shift in focus from basic educational and community engagement strategies to more specialized areas, with a notable increase in research on mental health towards the end of the period studied. The examination of less illuminated areas within the network visualization highlights underexplored topics such as the roles of community pharmacists and integrative reviews, suggesting them as potential rich fields for future research. The study underscores the evolution of health promotion over the decade and points to new directions for comprehensive health strategies, aiming to bridge research gaps and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Abstract

Public participation in health policy-making is a vital component for fostering equity, transparency, and inclusivity in health systems worldwide. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications to explore the research landscape on public participation in health policy-making. Using data from Scopus and Web of Science, the analysis identified key themes, influential contributors, and emerging trends. The findings reveal a growing emphasis on patient-centered care, governance frameworks, community health interventions, and the role of data and digital technologies. Prominent themes include the inclusion of vulnerable populations, such as women, children, and individuals with disabilities, as well as the integration of public input during health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite progress, challenges such as power imbalances, tokenistic participation, and the digital divide persist. This study highlights the importance of institutional frameworks, investments in data infrastructure, and digital tools to enhance participatory practices. Recommendations for future research include examining the long-term impact of participation, addressing gaps in low- and middle-income countries, and exploring the intersection of public engagement and technology. By synthesizing existing knowledge, this study contributes to advancing theory and practice in participatory health policy-making.
