Abstract

Background: Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are among the leading health problems contributing to the high mortality rate in children under five, both globally and in developing countries. ARI is a common respiratory disease that poses significant global concern due to its high morbidity and mortality rates, especially among children and the elderly. Common respiratory infections include the common cold, upper respiratory tract infections, influenza-like illnesses, and flu, which are caused by bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. Purpose:  The purpose of this review is to examine Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) in children and to identify associated environmental risk factors. Methods:  A systematic literature search was conducted using several databases, including ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. The selected articles provided information on study sample size, research findings, and levels of evidence. Results:  The search process yielded 10 eligible journals that met the predetermined keywords and inclusion criteria. Conclusion:   ARI affects both the upper and lower respiratory tracts, with viral and bacterial infections being the primary causes, which are easily transmitted through airborne particles or direct contact. Environmental factors such as air pollution, exposure to cigarette smoke, the use of fossil fuels for household needs, and poor sanitation conditions are significant risk factors that exacerbate the incidence of ARI.

Abstract

Background:   The nutritional status of elementary school-aged children is a crucial factor in determining the quality of future human resources. However, limited nutritional knowledge among children remains a challenge, particularly in coastal areas with restricted access to information. Purpose:  This study aims to assess the effectiveness of leaflet-based educational media in improving students' knowledge about balanced nutrition at Elementary School 2 Toronipa, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods:   This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 45 students from grades III, IV, and V, selected through total sampling. The research instrument was a multiple-choice questionnaire developed based on the Balanced Nutrition Guidelines from the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The study procedure included a pretest, an educational intervention using leaflets, and a posttest. Results:   The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of students had moderate (51.1%) and low (31.1%) levels of knowledge. Following the intervention, there was a significant increase in the high knowledge category to 73.4%, while the low category decreased to 2.2%. The average knowledge score improved from 11.3 to 16.6. The paired sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the leaflet in enhancing students’ nutritional knowledge. Conclusion:   Leaflets are an efficient, easy-to-understand, and engaging educational medium for elementary school children. These findings have positive implications for school-based nutrition education programs, especially in regions with limited access to information. Leaflet media can be integrated into health promotion programs to improve nutritional literacy and support healthy lifestyles from an early age.

Abstract

Background:  Tuberculosis (TB) in children remains a significant global health concern, with many cases going undiagnosed. Mortality rates due to TB among children continue to rise, particularly in high-burden countries such as Ethiopia and South Africa. Purpose:  This study aims to review various approaches and interventions that have been implemented to address the pediatric TB epidemic and assess their overall impact on child health. Methods:  This study utilized Boolean terms, and a systematic literature search was conducted across several databases, including ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Results:   Diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms and the difficulty of laboratory confirmation. While GeneXpert Ultra has improved detection accuracy, it has not fully addressed the diagnostic challenges. Conclusion:   Findings indicate that screening and preventive treatment interventions are highly effective in improving child health outcomes. Although new diagnostic tools such as GeneXpert Ultra show great potential, significant challenges in the detection and management of pediatric TB remain. This review highlights the importance of a holistic approach to bridging the gaps in TB detection and treatment in children.

Abstract

Background: Severe persistent asthma is the most complex form of asthma, characterized by symptoms that cannot be optimally controlled despite the administration of high-dose standard therapy such as inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) combined with long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA) and/or oral corticosteroids. This type of asthma significantly impacts the patient’s quality of life, increases the frequency of exacerbations, and leads to higher healthcare costs. Purpose: To evaluate the impact of combination therapy and biological therapy approaches on key clinical outcomes such as reduction in exacerbations, improvement in quality of life, and decreased use of systemic corticosteroids. Methods: Articles were collected from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and other peer-reviewed journal databases, with a publication range from 2021 to 2025. Results: The search yielded 10 articles that met the specified criteria and keywords. Biologic therapy has been proven effective in reducing exacerbations, improving lung function, and decreasing dependence on systemic corticosteroids. Conclusion: The importance of early intervention, accurate diagnostic approaches, and careful use of biologic therapy highlights the need for timely detection and treatment to prevent long-term damage.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Public knowledge regarding hypertension management in coastal areas remains limited, as coastal communities generally consume high-salt diets due to the frequent intake of salted fish and processed seafood products. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet education as an integrated nutritional approach to hypertension control in coastal areas. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest without a control group. The research was conducted in the coastal area of Atowatu Village, Soropia District. The study population consisted of individuals with mild to moderate hypertension residing in the coastal area of Atowatu Village, Soropia District. A total of 70 participants were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Prior to the intervention, 48 respondents (68.6%) had poor knowledge, while 22 respondents (31.4%) had moderate knowledge. After the educational intervention, 1 respondent (1.4%) had poor knowledge, 62 respondents (88.6%) had moderate knowledge, and 7 respondents (10%) demonstrated good knowledge. Regarding hypertension categories, before DASH diet education, 38 respondents (54.3%) were classified as having severe hypertension. Following the intervention, the majority of respondents were classified as having mild hypertension (48 respondents; 68.8%). Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the DASH diet education (p = 0.000), indicating that DASH diet education as an integrated nutritional approach significantly influenced hypertension control in the coastal area of Atowatu.
