Abstract

Treatment recommendations for cancer patients are carried out according to clinical assessment, type and stage of cancer and treatment guidelines. However, many patients do not accept the recommendations. This raises obstacles in managing of cancers, which not only affects the patients, but also the family and people around the patients. This problem could increase morbidity, mortality and recurrence rate, which might result in lower quality of life. Since this condition is a complex problem, there is necessity to explore and determine various determinants from different levels. The aim of this systematic  review was to explore the acceptances of cancer treatments among cancer patients and its associated determinants. Articles published from 2010 to 2023 were searched in four databases: ScienceDirect, Medline, Google Scholar and PubMed. Articles written in English and focussing on three main cancer treatments (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) were eligible.  A narrative approach was used and the data were analysed into selected themes. Data suggest that several factors influence patient acceptance for cancer therapy including sociodemographic, economic and spiritual cultural backgrounds; patient knowledge and perceptions; community support, as well as policy and availability of health facilities.  The determinants consist of individual, interpersonal, institutional, community and public policy level and interaction between levels are contributing to cancer treatment acceptance. In conclusion, cancer treatment acceptance remains a problem in particular in low middle income countries. In addition, the data on radiotherapy referral acceptance were limited and needed further study.

Abstract

Adolescent risk behavior is a public health problem that occurs globally. The presence of the digital era is characterized by increased access to online content and contributes to the rise of risk behavior among teenagers. The Center for Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV) at the University of Colorado, United States has developed the concept of Safe Communities Safe Schools (SCSS) as a model for preventing adolescent risk behavior in Colorado. The development of the current situation in Indonesia, especially in Banda Aceh, has given rise to the need for an equivalent concept in Banda Aceh. Adaptation and implementation of the SCSS concept from Colorado to Banda Aceh require adjustments that accommodate cultural components, including local wisdom. The aim of this study was to examine the role of local wisdom in supporting the implementation of SCSS as prevention of risk behavior among adolescents in Banda Aceh. This research uses a qualitative design with a grounded theory approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with key informants, namely Acehnese special institutions which officially represent expertise in local wisdom in the City of Banda Aceh. These institutions are: the Regional Education Council (MPD), Aceh Tradition Council (MAA), and Banda Aceh City Ulama Council (MPU). Data analysis was carried out using applied thematic analysis. This research identifies local wisdom sourced from Islamic law, which is a cultural characteristic of the Acehnese people and has the potential to play a role in supporting the implementation of SCSS. The local wisdoms are: education in Islamic values, akhlakul karimah, special relationships between teachers and parents of students (takzim keu guree), and traditional gampong governance. The Banda Aceh City Government has implemented local wisdom education on Islamic values, including akhlakul karimah through the diniyah program in schools. Traditional gampong governance can play its role through two mechanisms: revitalizing the local wisdom of takzim keu guree through community development targeting students' parents and reviving the local wisdom of akhlakul karimah in the community targeting students and families. Local wisdom implemented through the diniyah program is in line with the implementation of SCSS in schools, and local wisdom of traditional gampong governance and takzim keu guree can be a form of support for SCSS from the community. This support can be realized considering that Sharia law and traditional gampong governance have received legal regulation for their implementation in the City of Banda Aceh. Banda Aceh's local wisdom originating from Islamic law can play a role in supporting the implementation of SCSS as a prevention of risk behavior among teenagers in Banda Aceh. This research recommends utilizing local wisdom of Sharia law and gampong governance through regulatory mechanisms and cross-sectoral cooperation.

Abstract

The vaping phenomenon among Generation Z (Gen Z) women has increased in popularity as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. As a group that has grown up in the digital era, they have easier access to information via the internet and social media, which has influenced their lifestyles and choices, including when it comes to smoking and vaping. The aim of this study was to understand how the vaping phenomenon affects Gen Z women. To address this question, our research provides an overview of the vaping-related phenomena occurring among Gen Z women. We conducted a literature review of eight publications covering five years, 20192024. The data indicated phenomena such as an increase in the number of vape users among women and an increase in aggressive vape advertising. Our study also explored the factors that lead to this phenomenon occurring and how the surrounding environment plays a very large role in this issue. Data suggested that the increase in vaping among Gen Z women is primarily due to environmental and peer influence factors. Therefore, to have better prevention and intervention strategies, peer influence should be taken into account.
