Abstract

Introduction: Mental health in children is crucial for their growth, development, and academic achievement. The high prevalence of mental health disorders in children necessitates efforts to enhance parental knowledge via more accessible channels. This study aims to evaluate parental perceptions of children's mental health and assess the impact of online mental health education on parental knowledge. Methods: A quasi-experimental design using a single-group pre-test and post-test method was conducted with 52 participants. The intervention consisted of synchronouz mental health education delivered via an online meeting platform, with data collected through pre- and post-test evaluations using Google Forms. Results: 53.8% of parents were concerned about their child's mental health, yet 40.4% were unsure about their capacity to recognize symptoms, and 78.8% had never conducted early screening. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated no statistically significant difference in knowledge scores before and after the intervention (p=0.177). However, the mean score increased slightly from 6.71 (SD=1.05) in the pre-test to 6.98 (SD=1.29) in the post-test. The effect size (r = -0.64, 95% CI = [-0.91, -0.37]) shows an impact classified as moderate to large. Conclusion: While many parents are concerned for their children's mental health, many cannot recognize symptoms and have not undertaken early screening. Although statistical significance was not achieved, the observed effect size and knowledge improvement in specific individuals highlights online education's potential to enhance parental understanding of children's mental health. It is imperative to advance the exploration of interactive and adaptable learning strategies to maximize the effectiveness of educational interventions.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, often accompanied by comorbid hypertension, necessitates expensive and prolonged treatment. Therefore, conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis is crucial to identify the most economically viable option by comparing the costs and therapeutic efficacy of amlodipine and candesartan in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and comorbid hypertension in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This research aims to analyze therapy costs and effectiveness using pharmacoeconomic assessment, specifically calculating ACER (Average Cost-Effectiveness Ratio) and ICER (Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio) values. The study uses a quantitative approach with retrospective data collection from patient medical records through total sampling. This research gathered data from 149 medical records. The cost-effectiveness analysis based on ACER values revealed the following: amlodipine 5 mg cost IDR 86; amlodipine 10 mg cost IDR 51; candesartan 8 mg cost IDR 571; candesartan 16 mg cost IDR 727. The ICER value of amlodipine 5 mg – candesartan 8 mg cost IDR 1,527; amlodipine 5 mg – candesartan 16 mg cost IDR 2,192; amlodipine 10 mg – candesartan 8 mg cost IDR –8454; amlodipin 10 mg – candesartan 16 mg cost IDR –5,979. The therapy is considered cost-effective when the ACER value is low, and the negative value of ICER indicates that the treatment has lower costs with greater effectiveness. So, using amlodipine 10 mg is the most cost-effective approach for reducing blood pressure in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with comorbid hypertension in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: The advancement of information and communication technology has transformed healthcare delivery into digital systems, notably through the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). The implementation of EMR faces challenges, such as limited human resources, technology adaptation, and slow recording processes. This study aims to evaluate users' acceptance of EMRs and to explore the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting their implementation in a private teaching hospital in Yogyakarta. Methods: A mixed method study with a parallel convergent approach using a cross-sectional (quantitative) and descriptive exploratory (qualitative) design. The quantitative sample was determined by proportionate stratified random sampling. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model. Qualitative informants were determined purposively and focus group discussions and in-depth interviews were conducted. Quantitative data processing used IBM SPSS version 20 and SmartPLS, while qualitative data processing used thematic analysis, then integrated to obtain a comprehensive understanding. Results: Perceived usefulness scored very good (85%), perceived ease of use was categorized as good (82%), and behavioral intention to use was also good (84%). Structural modeling showed that perceived usefulness and ease of use significantly influenced behavioral intention (p = 0.000; R² = 0.538). Qualitative findings reinforced these results, highlighting key benefits such as improved data accessibility and work efficiency. However, implementation challenges included system security, ethical concerns, and document legality. Conclusion: This study offers methodological, contextual, and conceptual novelty by emphasizing a user-driven adoption process of EMRs. Users actively influenced system design and functionality, rather than relying solely on managerial or vendor decisions. Despite challenges, EMRs have reduced administrative burdens, enhanced operational efficiency, and strengthened clinical documentation. Continuous improvement should prioritize usability, legal compliance, and responsive technical support to optimize the benefits of EMR systems.

Abstract

Introduction: Monitoring children’s growth and development is essential, yet many parents face barriers in accessing reliable health education. While online learning offers potential solutions, evidence of its effectiveness remains limited, particularly in developing countries. This study assessed the impact of a pediatrician-led online session, consisting of a brief presentation and interactive discussion via Zoom, conducted in collaboration with a community clinic, on parental knowledge regarding child growth and health monitoring. Methods: A single-group pretest-posttest design was conducted with 77 eligible participants from a publicly accessible webinar in collaboration with a private clinic in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The intervention included a pediatrician-led session covering growth milestones, health indicators, and monitoring techniques. A ten-item online questionnaire was developed and validated for content by four experts using the Content Validity Index (CVI), resulting in an average S-CVI of 0.95. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and effect size analysis were performed. Results: Participants’ knowledge significantly increased following the intervention (p = 0.001) with a medium to large effect size (r = 0.52). There was an improvement in participants’ knowledge scores from a median of 70 (IQR 60–80) to 100 (IQR 85–100). No significant differences were found across demographic variables such as age, gender, or occupation (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated a positive shift in parental knowledge after a brief Zoom-based session. The findings underscore the potential of accessible online education to initiate broader community involvement in child health monitoring. Sustained impact will require integration with ongoing education, system-level support, and attention to barriers such as digital access and health literacy.
