Abstract

The use of WhatsApp (WA) in the health sector is increasingly widespread for communication, education, and intervention. Yet, systematic and updated bibliometric analyses of global trends remain limited, particularly those covering post-2023 developments and comparing contributions between high-income and developing countries. This study aims to systematically map and analyze the international landscape of WA-based health research published between 2015 and 2025. We employed a bibliometric research design with data sourced from the Scopus database, using the keywords "WhatsApp" AND "health". A total of 50 relevant articles were analyzed using descriptive statistics and VOSviewer software to visualize networks. The findings indicate that the use of WA as a health communication tool is firmly established. Publication trends indicate growth, with the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a significant catalyst that has driven the exploration of WA for remote healthcare services. The five most productive countries are India, Saudi Arabia (with five articles each), Brazil, Malaysia, and Indonesia (with four articles each). The most influential themes centered on the benefits of WA in clinical practice and the enhancement of supervision for community health workers. In conclusion, WA is proven to be a vital health communication tool, and the future direction of research is expected to increasingly focus on establishing its effectiveness, testing service models, and its broader, more systematic integration into the digital health ecosystem.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue that begins early in life and is stronglyassociated with inadequate maternal care, nutrition, and infant feeding practices.Pregnant adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to limited knowledge andreadiness for childbirth and breastfeeding, which are crucial for preventing stuntedgrowth in infants. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectivenessof a Mobile WebApp–based intervention in increasing knowledge related to childbirthreadiness and breastfeeding as part of stunting prevention among pregnant adolescentsin Narmada Subdistrict, West Lombok Regency, Indonesia. A total of 60 pregnantadolescents who met the inclusion criteria (aged 15–19 years, first pregnancy, andable to use smartphones) were selected using purposive sampling. The instrument, a25-item questionnaire, was developed based on the Health Belief Model (HBM),covering aspects of perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and cues to actionrelated to maternal and infant health. The instrument underwent expert validity testingby three midwifery and maternal health specialists and achieved a validity coefficientof r = 0.78 and a Cronbach’s alpha reliability value of 0.86, indicating goodconsistency. The one-month Mobile WebApp intervention provided educationalmodules on breast care, signs of labor, early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF),breastfeeding techniques, and exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age. Datawere analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significantimprovement in maternal knowledge after the intervention (p < 0.05). These findingsdemonstrate that the Mobile WebApp effectively enhances pregnant adolescents’readiness for childbirth and breastfeeding, thereby supporting efforts to preventstunting. Integrating mobile health applications into maternal education can strengthenadolescent mothers’ capacity to promote optimal maternal and child health outcomes.

According to KPA Lobar in 2023, there were three pregnant women diagnosed with HIV. Data from the Sedau Community Health Center (UPT) in September 2024 showed that 1 pregnant woman was detected with HIV. Seeing the increase in cases, a national response is needed with the PPIA Program. Based on a preliminary survey, 4 pregnant women did not understand about PPIA and had not received information about PPIA. To determine the effect of animated videos about the PPIA program on the knowledge of pregnant women in Keru Village, the working area of ​​the Sedau Community Health Center (UPT). The type of research is Quasi Experiment Nonequivalent Control Group Design, with a Total sampling technique. The population of this study. Researchers took all samples, namely 66 pregnant women. Data analysis Independent t-test. The average knowledge before the intervention using the PPIA Animation Video was 65.28 and after it became 86.11. With the Independent t-test, the p-value of knowledge was 0.000 <0.05. There is an Effect of the Animation Video About the PPIA Program on the Knowledge of Pregnant Women in Keru Village, the Working Area UPT of ​​the Sedau Community Health Center.

Abstract

Family nutritional status remains a major public health concern, particularly in regions with diverse geographical characteristics that influence food availability and dietary behavior. Variations in dietary patterns and eating habits between mountainous and coastal areas may contribute to differences in nutritional outcomes at the household level. This study aimed to examine the association between dietary patterns and eating habits with family nutritional status and to identify regional differences in these associations in Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from August to September 2025 involving 110 families selected using multistage sampling. Data were collected through a locally adapted Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), structured eating habit questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements based on WHO standards. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-Square tests, and multivariate logistic regression. The results indicated that a substantial proportion of families exhibited inadequate dietary patterns and unhealthy eating habits, alongside significant differences in nutritional status between mountainous and coastal regions. Both dietary patterns and eating habits were significantly associated with family nutritional status after adjusting for potential confounders, with inadequate dietary patterns emerging as the strongest determinant. Stratified analysis revealed regional-specific determinants, where dietary patterns were more influential in mountainous areas, while eating habits played a greater role in coastal areas. In conclusion, improving family nutritional status requires region-specific nutrition interventions that address local food systems and promote balanced dietary practices through targeted nutrition education.
