Abstract

The increasing reliance on digital health interventions has underscored the need to enhance digital health literacy to improve individual health outcomes and quality of life. This study explores the effectiveness of digital health literacy interventions, including mobile applications, online education platforms, and telehealth services, in improving health knowledge and self-care behaviors. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, with selected studies focusing on adult populations and chronic disease management. Findings indicate that digital interventions significantly enhance health literacy and health-related behaviors; however, challenges such as disparities in digital access, socioeconomic factors, and variations in digital literacy levels limit widespread adoption. Comparative analysis reveals that while digital interventions offer advantages in accessibility and engagement, they must be adapted to different demographic and socioeconomic contexts to ensure equity. Policy implications highlight the necessity of investing in digital infrastructure, integrating digital literacy into healthcare education, and implementing data security regulations to foster trust and usability. The study concludes that digital health literacy is a crucial component of modern healthcare strategies. Addressing barriers and optimizing digital intervention designs are essential for maximizing the potential of digital health tools in promoting preventive care and improving public health outcomes. Future research should focus on long-term intervention effectiveness, AI-driven personalization, and culturally inclusive health literacy programs.

Abstract

Climate change and urbanization are reshaping the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, leading to increased transmission risks in densely populated areas. This study systematically reviews the impact of urban expansion, rising temperatures, and erratic precipitation patterns on vector habitats and disease proliferation. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, selecting studies published within the last 20 years that empirically examine climate change and urbanization’s role in vector ecology. Findings highlight that rapid urbanization creates ideal breeding environments for disease vectors, exacerbating public health challenges. The urban heat island effect intensifies vector survival, while inadequate waste and water management promote their proliferation. Climate variability alters seasonal disease transmission, extending vector activity periods and increasing epidemic occurrences. Emerging technologies such as IoT and GIS have shown promise in improving surveillance and disease management but require policy support and infrastructure investments for optimal effectiveness. Mitigating these risks necessitates integrated approaches, incorporating urban planning, climate adaptation, and enhanced vector control strategies. Strengthening community participation, expanding access to sanitation, and developing predictive modeling frameworks will be essential in managing disease risks. Future research should explore adaptive control measures and long-term vector resistance mechanisms to inform sustainable public health interventions.

Abstract

Climate change and urbanization are intensifying the emergence of zoonotic diseases, posing urgent challenges to public health systems—particularly in rapidly growing urban areas. This narrative review examines the interplay between climate variability, environmental change, and zoonotic disease transmission, focusing on temperature shifts, precipitation patterns, and urban land-use dynamics. A systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize empirical studies across diverse climatic and urban contexts. Findings reveal that rising temperatures accelerate pathogen replication and expand vector habitats, while altered rainfall patterns increase the likelihood of waterborne and vector-borne disease outbreaks. Urbanization-induced deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and inadequate infrastructure further heighten human-wildlife interactions and disease spillovers. Vulnerabilities are exacerbated in low-income communities with limited access to sanitation, healthcare, and early warning systems. This review highlights the urgent need for integrative public health strategies and climate-adaptive urban planning to mitigate zoonotic risks. Policymakers must prioritize early surveillance, equitable health access, and ecosystem-sensitive development. By adopting the One Health framework and strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, cities can build resilience to future zoonotic threats in the context of accelerating climate change.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is lower abdominal pain that occurs during menstruation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1,769,425 people (90%) experienced dysmenorrhea with an incidence of 10-15% of whom experienced dysmenorrhea with severe pain. Traditional medicine by consuming ginger can be an alternative as an effort to reduce menstrual pain (primary dysmenorrhea). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was an effect of giving ginger (zingiber officinale) to decrease the intensity of menstrual pain (primary dysmenorrhea) in adolescent girls. The method used in this research is to use Systematic Literature Review (SLR). This study examines 9 journals for 2009-2021 consisting of 7 international journals and 2 national journals. All journals conducted studies related to the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. The original journal was obtained from the search results of the PuBmed and Google Scholar databases. The results of this study from 7 international journals and 2 national journals that have been studied can be seen that all research subjects, namely young women after giving the intervention experienced a significant decrease in menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea). This is because the active ingredients such as gingerol, shogaol, zingiberene in ginger rhizome can be used as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory.

Abstract

The global increase in elderly populations has intensified demands for innovative healthcare solutions capable of supporting independence, safety, and chronic disease management. This narrative review explores the role of Smart Health Monitoring Systems (SHMS) in addressing these challenges by synthesizing evidence from diverse medical, engineering, and social science literature. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore using keywords such as smart health monitoring, elderly, wearable devices, telemedicine, and assistive technology. Inclusion criteria emphasized studies focusing on SHMS for older adults, with both clinical and technical perspectives considered. The results reveal that wearable devices provide reliable monitoring of falls, vital signs, and daily activity, with reported accuracies exceeding 90%. Integration of IoT and AI technologies further enhances predictive capabilities, enabling early detection of health risks and reducing hospital admissions by as much as 30%. However, adoption remains constrained by systemic barriers, including privacy concerns, fragmented health data, limited digital literacy, and infrastructural deficits in developing regions. The discussion highlights the need for coordinated strategies involving improved digital infrastructure, user education, policy incentives, and interoperability frameworks to overcome these challenges. This review concludes that SHMS represent a transformative innovation for elderly care, but their full potential will only be realized through inclusive design, robust policy support, and culturally sensitive adaptation across diverse healthcare contexts.

Abstract

Introduction: Early marriage remains a significant public health concern because it is closely associated with adolescent pregnancy, limited educational attainment, and increased risk of maternal and child health problems, including stunting. Family dynamics and parent–adolescent communication play an important role in shaping adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, and preventive intentions regarding marriage timing and reproductive health. This study aimed to examine the short-term effect of parenting communication education as a family-based intervention to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions related to early marriage prevention in a community setting. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test control group structure. A total of 60 respondents were divided into an intervention group and a control group, each consisting of 30 participants. Participants were adolescents aged 15–18 years and parents from the working area of Biromaru Community Health Center and SMK 1 Sigi, selected according to predefined eligibility criteria. The intervention group received parenting communication education focusing on parent–adolescent dialogue, reproductive health awareness, and the risks associated with early marriage, while the control group did not receive the intervention during the study period. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that had undergone validity and reliability testing to measure knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions related to early marriage prevention. Statistical analysis was conducted using paired t-tests to assess within-group changes and independent t-tests to compare outcomes between groups, with findings interpreted as short-term psychosocial changes rather than verified behavioral outcomes. Result: The results demonstrated significant improvements in the intervention group across all measured domains. Knowledge scores increased from 55.6 ± 8.2 to 82.4 ± 5.7 (p < 0.001), indicating enhanced understanding of reproductive health risks and the consequences of early marriage. Attitude scores also improved from 60.3 ± 9.1 to 84.1 ± 7.4 (p < 0.001), reflecting stronger rejection of early marriage and greater awareness of the importance of mental and social preparedness for parenthood. Behavioral intention scores showed the largest improvement, increasing from 50.2 ± 8.1 to 88.1 ± 6.9 (p < 0.001), suggesting stronger intention to delay marriage and prioritize education and reproductive health preparation. In contrast, the control group showed only limited changes across the measured domains. These findings suggest that family-based educational interventions may strengthen parent–adolescent communication and reinforce normative support for delaying marriage, although longer-term follow-up is required to determine whether these intentions translate into actual behavioral outcomes. Conclusion: In conclusion, parenting communication education represents a promising strategy for preventing early marriage by strengthening family communication, improving reproductive health knowledge, and promoting preventive attitudes and behavioral intentions. Integrating family-based education into adolescent health programs may support upstream prevention pathways associated with early marriage and stunting risk, but its effects on actual marriage timing, reproductive health behavior, and child nutritional outcomes require longitudinal verification.

Abstract

Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM), termasuk hiperkolesterolemia, merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan yang terus meningkat dan menjadi faktor risiko utama penyakit kardiovaskular. Data WHO menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 45% penduduk dunia mengalami kolesterol tinggi, sementara di Indonesia prevalensinya mencapai 28%. Kondisi ini dipengaruhi oleh gaya hidup tidak sehat, konsumsi makanan tinggi lemak, kurang aktivitas fisik, merokok, serta kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pencegahan kolesterol. Penyuluhan kesehatan menjadi salah satu strategi preventif yang efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan tindakan masyarakat mengenai pengendalian kolesterol. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penyuluhan terhadap perubahan pengetahuan, sikap, dan tindakan masyarakat sebelum dan sesudah intervensi penyuluhan tentang kolesterol di Desa Kasoloang, Kecamatan Bambaira, Kabupaten Pasangkayu. Penelitian menggunakan desain pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design dengan total sampel berjumlah 23 orang yang dipilih melalui total sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner pengetahuan, sikap, dan tindakan yang diberikan sebelum (pretest) dan sesudah (posttest) penyuluhan. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test untuk melihat perubahan signifikan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan pada ketiga variabel. Pengetahuan kategori baik meningkat dari 65,2% menjadi 95,7% setelah penyuluhan. Sikap kategori baik meningkat dari 65,2% menjadi 91,3%, sementara tindakan baik meningkat dari 56,5% menjadi 91,3%. Uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan nilai p-value pengetahuan = 0,020, sikap = 0,034, dan tindakan = 0,005 (p < 0,05), yang mengindikasikan bahwa penyuluhan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan ketiga variabel tersebut. Media leaflet yang digunakan dalam penyuluhan turut membantu responden memahami materi secara lebih mudah dan berulang. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penyuluhan kesehatan efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan tindakan masyarakat terkait pencegahan kolesterol. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya kegiatan penyuluhan rutin oleh tenaga kesehatan, peningkatan akses masyarakat terhadap informasi kesehatan yang mudah dipahami, serta penerapan gaya hidup sehat secara berkelanjutan untuk menekan risiko kolesterol tinggi di masyarakat pedesaan.
