Abstract

Maternal and child health remains a major public health concern, where health outcomes are shaped not only by medical and socioeconomic factors but also by sociocultural contexts. This study aims to examine the effect of local wisdom on maternal and child health using a quantitative approach. A total of 150 respondents were surveyed using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, and simple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that local wisdom has a positive and statistically significant effect on maternal and child health (β = 0.683, p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.386) shows that local wisdom explains 38.6% of the variation in maternal and child health outcomes. These findings suggest that culturally embedded values, beliefs, and community practices play an important role in shaping maternal and child health behaviors. Integrating local wisdom into maternal and child health programs can enhance community acceptance, strengthen preventive care, and improve health outcomes. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the inclusion of cultural dimensions in the formulation of maternal and child health policies.⁠

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of social media has transformed health communication practices and created new opportunities for HIV/AIDS prevention. This study aims to systematically examine the role of social media in preventing HIV/AIDS by synthesizing findings from existing academic literature. A systematic literature review approach was employed, analyzing fifteen peer-reviewed studies retrieved from Google Scholar that focus on the use of social media platforms in HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. The review findings indicate that social media plays a significant role in enhancing HIV/AIDS awareness and knowledge, shaping positive attitudes toward prevention, encouraging HIV testing and safer sexual behaviors, and reducing stigma among diverse populations, particularly adolescents, young adults, and key risk groups. Interactive content, peer-to-peer communication, and platform-specific engagement strategies were identified as critical factors in intervention effectiveness. However, the review also reveals persistent challenges, including misinformation, digital inequality, ethical concerns related to privacy, and limited evidence of long-term behavioral impact. Overall, the study concludes that social media serves as an effective complementary tool for HIV/AIDS prevention when integrated with broader public health strategies, while emphasizing the need for more rigorous and longitudinal research to strengthen evidence-based digital health interventions.⁠

Abstract

Background: Spiritual Intelligence (SI) is essential for nurses caring for critically ill surgical patients. Previous studies suggest work experience may influence SI, but the extent and specific dimensions affected remain unclear. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the relationship between work experience and four SI dimensions: Critical Existential Thinking (CET), Personal Meaning Production (PMP), Transcendental Awareness (TA), and Conscious State Expansion (CSE) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 35 nurses working in adult surgical wards at two public hospitals in Kediri, Indonesia. Inclusion criteria were registered nurses with at least six months of experience in surgical wards; exclusion criteria were nurses on leave or with incomplete data. Purposive sampling was used. Independent variable: work experience (years); dependent variable: spiritual intelligence measured using the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI-24). Data analysis followed the STROBE guideline and was performed using Lambda tests with α < 0.05. Descriptive statistics were reported for key variables, including mean work experience Result: The mean work experience of participants was 7.3 ± 4.1 years. Work experience was significantly associated with Personal Meaning Production (PMP) (p = 0.034) and Conscious State Expansion (CSE) (p = 0.007), indicating that nurses with longer experience are better able to find life meaning and expand spiritual awareness. No significant relationships were observed for Critical Existential Thinking (CET) and Transcendental Awareness (TA). Conclusion: Work experience positively influences certain SI dimensions (PMP and CSE) but not others (CET and TA). These findings suggest that additional factors, such as education, personal experiences, and workplace environment, contribute to SI development. Practical implications: Healthcare institutions should implement spiritual reflection and mindfulness training to support nurses’ well-being. Future research should include larger samples and explore cultural and intervention-based influences on SI development.
