Abstract

Work-related diseases remain a significant global concern, necessitating robust Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management systems to mitigate risks and ensure worker well-being. This study systematically reviews existing literature on OHS implementation and its effectiveness in preventing occupational illnesses. A comprehensive search of academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, was conducted to analyze peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024. The selection criteria focused on empirical research evaluating the impact of OHS policies, worker training programs, and ergonomic interventions on workplace safety. The findings indicate that structured OHS strategies, such as continuous safety education, workplace ergonomic adjustments, and mental health integration, significantly enhance compliance with safety regulations and reduce occupational health risks. However, key challenges remain, including inadequate worker awareness, insufficient regulatory enforcement, and barriers to adopting technological innovations. Addressing these challenges requires increased investment in training programs, stronger legal frameworks, and the development of workplace safety technologies. This review underscores the need for a holistic approach to OHS management, integrating both physical and psychological health measures. Future research should explore long-term effectiveness assessments of OHS policies, sector-specific risk mitigation strategies, and advancements in digital safety monitoring. Strengthening OHS frameworks globally will contribute to improved workplace conditions, reduced disease incidence, and enhanced worker productivity.

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

Health informatics has emerged as a pivotal tool in transforming mental health services, offering new possibilities for diagnostic precision, treatment planning, and patient engagement. This narrative review aimed to examine the role of health informatics in improving mental health outcomes, with a focus on Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), mobile health applications, artificial intelligence (AI), and inclusive data practices. A systematic literature search was conducted across databases including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using targeted keywords related to digital health and psychiatry. Studies were screened based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure methodological rigor and relevance. The findings reveal that CDSS improves diagnostic accuracy and comorbidity detection, though disparities exist in adoption between developed and developing countries. Mobile health applications demonstrate effectiveness in suicide prevention and trauma management, particularly among youth, but adoption is uneven across demographic groups. AI and big data contribute to early detection and personalized care, yet raise significant concerns about bias, privacy, and transparency. Inclusive data practices, especially in collecting sexual orientation and gender identity information, are essential for reducing disparities and promoting equitable care. Discussion highlights the need for supportive policy frameworks, adequate funding, digital infrastructure, and clinician training, alongside participatory approaches that ensure cultural sensitivity. This review concludes that health informatics holds substantial promise for improving accessibility, quality, and equity in mental health services. Yet, overcoming systemic, infrastructural, and ethical barriers remains essential to fully addressing the global mental health burden.

Abstract

 Digital literacy is a critical competency for healthcare professionals in delivering safe, effective, and patient-centered care. This narrative review examines global disparities in digital literacy training among healthcare workers, with a focus on identifying educational gaps, systemic and personal barriers, and innovative strategies for skill development. Literature was sourced from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, using predefined keywords targeting digital competency in clinical and educational contexts. Findings reveal significant disparities across healthcare professions and regions, with physicians generally showing higher proficiency than nurses and allied health workers. Systemic challenges such as limited ICT infrastructure, inadequate curricula, and weak institutional support are prevalent, particularly in low-resource settings. On a personal level, technophobia, low confidence, and concerns over workload hinder technology adoption. Innovative educational models—including simulation-based training, interactive e-learning, and problem-based learning—demonstrated positive outcomes in enhancing digital skills. However, their success is strongly tied to local infrastructure, faculty readiness, and socio-cultural factors. The review concludes that integrating digital literacy into healthcare education, investing in infrastructure, and promoting continuous professional development are essential to prepare future-ready health systems. Standardized measures and long-term outcome evaluations are recommended to assess the effectiveness of training interventions. Strengthening digital competencies is not merely a technical upgrade but a strategic imperative for resilient, equitable, and technology-enabled healthcare delivery..

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

Indonesia mengalami kenaikan prevalensi Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) yang menjadi penyebab kematian tertinggi di Indonesia salah satunya penyakit Diabetes Melitus (DM). Prevalensi penderita DM di Indonesia menempati urutan ke 7 dunia dengan jumlah penderita sebanyak 10,7 juta jiwa. Laporan tahunan PTM Dinas Kesehatan Kota Palu menunjukkan dari 13 Puskesmas yang ada di Kota Palu jumlah kasus DM di Puskesmas Kamonji berada di angka tertinggi pada tahun 2020. Jumlah cakupan peserta di Puskesmas Kamonji pada tahun 2020 yang aktif mengikuti Prolanis hanya 5% dari 75% indikator yang harus dicapai. Program Pengelolaan Penyakit Kronis (Prolanis) merupakan salah satu strategi preventif dan promotif dari BPJS Kesehatan yang dilakukan untuk menurunkan atau mencegah komplikasi penyakit kronis (hipertensi dan DM tipe 2) yang diderita oleh peserta sekaligus meminimalisir pembiayaan pelayanan kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dukungan petugas kesehatan dan persepsi kebutuhan pelayanan kesehatan dengan pemanfaatan Prolanis pada pasien DM di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Kamonji Kota Palu. Jenis penelitian adalah survei analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode simple random sampling. Jumlah sampel 96 responden. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan (p=0,045), sikap (p=0,037), persepsi kebutuhan pelayanan kesehatan (p=0,003), dan tidak ada hubungan dukungan petugas kesehatan (p=0,862) dengan pemanfaatan Prolanis. Diharapkan kepada pihak Puskesmas untuk melakukan sosialisasi melalui Program Indonesia Sehat dengan Pendekatan Keluarga (PIS-PK) tidak hanya kepada penderita hipertensi dan DM melainkan pendekatan kepada keluarga penderita agar secara aktif memanfaatkan pelayanan Prolanis
