The research method applied qualitative with a case study approach. The research informants were 13, determined by the purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the predisposing factors with knowledge and attitude variables were still limited; the informants did not know the exact meaning of exclusive breastfeeding, the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, and the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. Supporting factors with health facilities infrastructure and facilities at work variable are not yet available optimally. While the family support variable can be said to be lacking, this is influenced by the lack of family knowledge regarding exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

This research aims to determine bullying behavior among Generation Z youth at the DP3A Children's Forum in Palu City. This research used qualitative research methods with a case study design. There were 10 informants in the research using purposive sampling techniques. Data management using matrix techniques. The results of research on the behavioral belief variable were that the perpetrator understands the dangers of bullying quite well, but bullying behavior was still carried out. Regarding the evaluation variable or behavioral impact, most did not know and did not feel the impact of bullying. In the behavioral motivation variable, the perpetrators were motivated to bully because it was fun for them and had thought about stopping bullying because they had received warnings and advice from those closest to them. It is suggested that the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service (in Indonesia known as DP3A) of Palu City should find out about providing maximum education and guidance to the parents of the perpetrators so that bullying behavior by those who become administrators or new members in the Palu City Nosarara children's forum does not occur. Parents should pay attention and always ask about the activities they are carrying out and understand their children's feelings so that they trust them and do not hesitate to talk about their children's problems

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine smoking behavior among adolescents, particularly in a public junior high school of SMP Negeri 9 Palu City. This type of research was qualitative research with a case study approach. The informants in this study consisted of 10 people using a purposive sampling technique. The variables in this study consisted of knowledge, attitudes, facilities and infrastructure, and peers. The results showed that knowledge of smoking behavior was quite good regarding the dangers of smoking. The attitude of most of the informants towards smoking behavior was not good because they still accepted peer invitations to smoke. Access to cigarettes is quite easy by buying retail cigarettes at stalls near the school. Peers have a major influence on smoking behavior at school. Adolescents at SMP Negeri 9 Palu City, despite having good knowledge about the dangers of smoking, demonstrate inconsistent behavior due to positive attitudes, easy access to cigarettes, and strong peer influence. This highlights the need for interventions that address not only knowledge dissemination but also address attitudes and peer pressure, making it harder to access cigarettes near schools.

Abstract

The implementation of Smoke Free Zone (SFZ) policies is a critical public health strategy, especially in densely populated urban settings. This study examines how residents of Kendari City, Indonesia, perceive and adapt to SFZ regulations enacted under Local Regulation No. 4 of 2019. Specifically, it explores community understanding, experiences, and behavioral responses to smoking restrictions in public spaces. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing purposive sampling to select twelve informants from various socio economic backgrounds. Data were gathered through semi structured interviews, non-participant observation, and field documentation. Thematic analysis was used to interpret interview transcripts and observational notes. The findings show limited community understanding of SFZ boundaries, with common misconceptions about designated areas. While most residents support the policy’s intent, cultural norms and perceived lack of authority reduce active enforcement. Structural barriers such as economic hardship, nicotine addiction, and weak public communication further constrain compliance. Nonetheless, positive adaptations are evident, including peer influence, community-led signage, and selective smoking avoidance in public spaces. These behaviors reflect the role of informal networks and increasing health awareness. The study concludes that SFZ policy effectiveness is contingent on interdisciplinary approaches, inclusive communication, and localized community engagement. Rather than relying solely on top down regulation, integrating health messaging, urban design, and community leadership is essential for fostering sustained compliance. The insights from Kendari highlight the potential of participatory and culturally responsive strategies in strengthening public health policies.

Abstract

The implementation of the Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) program in Indonesia seeks to achieve Universal Health Coverage by ensuring equitable access to health services for all citizens. Despite this aim, disparities in participation persist, particularly in rural and coastal regions. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing community participation in the JKN program within the working area of Bajoe Community Health Center, Bone Regency. A cross sectional quantitative approach was used to survey 291 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Structured questionnaires were administered to assess demographic characteristics and the influence of five key variables: knowledge, trust, income, health condition, and family support. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi square) statistical techniques. Results revealed that knowledge, trust in the JKN system, income level, and family support had statistically significant associations with program participation (p < 0.05). Specifically, individuals with better knowledge, higher trust, greater income, and supportive families were more likely to be enrolled. Conversely, perceived or actual health status showed no significant correlation with participation. These findings suggest that proactive enrollment behavior is influenced more by informational, economic, and social dynamics than by immediate health needs. The study concludes that increasing JKN participation requires multi-dimensional strategies, including culturally tailored public education, institutional trust building, improved subsidy access for low income households, and family centered outreach. These interventions are essential to bridge participation gaps and strengthen the national health insurance framework.

Abstract

This study specifically examines how promotive and preventive health strategies are implemented in Puskesmas Kuta Alam, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, to address the challenges of urban health services. This study aims to explore the implementation dynamics of these strategies at Puskesmas Kuta Alam, an urban public health center in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, focusing on four themes: communication, resources, staff disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Findings reveal that while health promotion efforts exist, they are constrained by unidirectional communication practices, low community engagement, and a lack of culturally adapted messaging. Human resource limitations, including an absence of trained personnel and insufficient educational infrastructure, further weaken program effectiveness. Staff demonstrated moral commitment to preventive care but lacked formal training and policy literacy, leading to inconsistent implementation of national health regulations. Moreover, the absence of a clearly defined organizational structure for promotive preventive programs resulted in poor coordination and accountability. These insights highlight the systemic challenges faced by Puskesmas in Banda Aceh in translating health policy into practice. The study recommends adopting participatory communication strategies, enhancing training and infrastructure, and establishing a dedicated institutional unit for preventive services. By contributing to the growing body of knowledge on primary health care implementation in LMICs, the study offers evidence based recommendations to strengthen health promotion capacity at the local level.
