Abstract

Maternal emergencies remain one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality; therefore, preventive efforts through adequate nutritional management during pregnancy are of paramount importance. The husband’s role in supporting pregnant women, particularly by understanding and ensuring adherence to proper dietary practices, is crucial in reducing the risk of complications. This study aimed to analyze the effect of information exposure on husbands’ knowledge regarding maternal emergency prevention through dietary pattern management. A cross-sectional design was employed in April 2025, involving 399 husbands residing in Makassar City and Gowa District, selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected online using a structured questionnaire that assessed sources of information, frequency of exposure, accessibility, and activeness in seeking information. The chi-square test was applied for statistical analysis. The results revealed that information exposure had a significant effect on husbands’ knowledge (p < 0,0001), including aspects of information sources, frequency of exposure, accessibility, and activeness in seeking information. In conclusion, improving the quality and accessibility of nutritional information for husbands plays an essential role in supporting maternal emergency prevention through the optimization of dietary patterns during pregnancy.

Abstract

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a leading cause of death globally, with survival rates as low as 9–10%. Early bystander intervention through Basic Life Support (BLS)/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is critical in saving lives before medical help arrives. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of laypersons in Ko'mara Village, Pol-Sel District, Takalar Regency regarding BLS/CPR. The activity was conducted from January 12–17, 2026, involving 30 community members. Methods included a short course (lecture and simulation using CPR manikins), vital signs screening, and elderly exercise. Pre- and post-activity assessments showed a significant improvement: the proportion of participants with poor CPR ability decreased from 90% to 47%, while those with good ability increased from 10% to 53%. Knowledge also improved markedly, with 93% of participants achieving good knowledge post-intervention. These results confirm that a structured short course combining application-based learning and hands-on simulation is an effective strategy for improving BLS competency among laypersons in resource-limited communities.

Abstract

Toddlers are highly vulnerable to emergencies in the home environment, with choking and febrile seizures being the most life-threatening incidents requiring intervention within minutes. Housewives, as primary caregivers, are often the first responders in these situations; however, their knowledge and skills in initial response are still relatively low. This community service project aims to empower housewives in Ko'mara Village, Takalar Regency, through education and hands-on simulation training. The activity was carried out on January 12–17, 2026, involving 15 housewives with toddlers. The methods used included interactive lectures using visual media, demonstrations, and live redemonstrations using infant and child mannequins for choking and febrile seizure management techniques. Pre- and post-activity evaluations showed significant improvements: the average knowledge score increased from 45 to 88 out of 100. Practical skill achievement reached 87% for the Back Blow technique, 80% for the Heimlich Maneuver, and 100% for the recovery position and temperature measurement. These findings demonstrate that a structured short course combining participatory education and simulation-based training is an effective strategy for improving emergency response competency among housewives in communities with limited resources

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal mortality remains a significant public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where delays in recognizing obstetric danger signs contribute to preventable complications. Adequate maternal knowledge regarding obstetric emergencies is essential for timely care-seeking. This study aimed to examine the association between health information exposure and knowledge of obstetric emergencies among pregnant women attending antenatal care services. Research Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the Antenatal Care (ANC) clinic of Labuang Baji Hospital, Makassar, Indonesia, from August to September 2025. A total of 45 pregnant women were recruited using accidental sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires measuring health information exposure (10 Likert-scale items; Cronbach’s α = 0.856) and obstetric emergency knowledge (20 true–false items; Cronbach’s α = 0.876). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize respondent characteristics. Fisher’s Exact Test and logistic regression analysis were performed to examine associations between variables. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: Exposure to maternal health information was significantly associated with knowledge of obstetric emergencies. Pregnant women exposed to health information were nearly seven times more likely to demonstrate good knowledge compared with those who were not exposed (OR = 6.93; 95% CI: 1.18–40.55; p = 0.026). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that information exposure remained the strongest predictor of obstetric emergency knowledge (OR = 6.96; 95% CI: 1.11–43.41; p = 0.038). Conclusion: Health information exposure plays a critical role in improving pregnant women’s knowledge of obstetric emergencies. Strengthening structured maternal health education within antenatal care services, complemented by community and digital health communication strategies, may enhance maternal awareness and support early recognition of obstetric complications

Abstract

Latar Belakang, Wilayah Malino, Kabupaten Gowa, merupakan daerah dataran tinggi yang rawan bencana hidrometeorologi. Kondisi lingkungan yang dingin meningkatkan risiko hipotermia pada korban bencana, yang dapat memperburuk kondisi trauma melalui mekanisme Trias Kematian. Namun, fokus penanganan pra-rumah sakit seringkali hanya pada trauma fisik, mengabaikan manajemen suhu tubuh. Tujuan, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat pengetahuan dan gambaran manajemen hipotermia yang dilakukan oleh tim penolong di fase pra-rumah sakit. Metode, Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Responden berjumlah 53 orang yang terdiri dari personel TRC, Tagana, dan tenaga kesehatan Puskesmas di Kecamatan Tinggimoncong. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan lembar observasi. Hasil, Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mayoritas responden memiliki tingkat pengetahuan kategori Cukup (52,8%). Dalam praktik lapangan, tindakan memindahkan korban ke tempat aman dilakukan oleh 94,3% responden, namun pelepasan pakaian basah hanya dilakukan oleh 60,4%. Penggunaan alat thermal blanket sangat rendah (28,3%) dikarenakan keterbatasan logistik. Kesimpulan, Manajemen hipotermia di Malino belum optimal, terutama pada aspek exposure (pelepasan pakaian basah) dan rewarming (penghangatan) akibat kurangnya alat spesifik. Diperlukan pengadaan thermal blanket dan pelatihan intensif bagi relawan di daerah dataran tinggi.

Abstract

Adolescents are in a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, making them vulnerable to reproductive health problems such as early marriage, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and sexual abuse due to limited knowledge and social norms that restrict open discussion. This community service program aimed to improve adolescent girls' knowledge of reproductive health indicators—including understanding of reproductive organs, puberty, menstruation, early marriage risks, and STI prevention—in Bulukunyi Village, Polongbangkeng Selatan District, Takalar Regency. The activity was conducted on May 5–9, 2025, involving 20 adolescent girls as participants. Methods consisted of health education through lectures and question-and-answer sessions supported by leaflets, along with blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol screening for the broader community. Pre- and post-test assessments were used to evaluate knowledge improvement. Results showed a significant increase: before the intervention, only 25% of participants had adequate knowledge of reproductive health indicators, which increased to 78% after the mentoring program. The program received strong support from local government officials, community leaders, and health workers. These findings confirm that structured health education through community mentoring is effective in improving reproductive health literacy among adolescent girls in rural areas

Abstract

Background. Health literacy plays an important role in determining health outcomes; however, in multilingual societies, the interpretation of health information can be influenced by the complexity of language use and communication practices. In South Sulawesi, Indonesia, communities commonly communicate using Indonesian, Bugis, and Makassar languages, yet the impact of linguistic diversity on medical communication remains insufficiently explored. Objective. This study aims to analyze the relationship between language dominance and the ability to comprehend written and oral medical information, while identifying communication challenges experienced in multilingual healthcare settings. Methods. A convergent parallel mixed-methods approach was applied, involving a survey of 320 Community Health Center visitors, 24 in-depth interviews, and discourse analysis of 18 doctor-patient consultations. Quantitative and qualitative findings were integrated through a joint display analysis. Results. The findings revealed that 61.3% of participants demonstrated inadequate health literacy. Bugis-dominant speakers showed significantly lower comprehension scores (M = 52.4) than Indonesian-dominant speakers (M = 71.8; Cohen’s d = 1.84). Frequent code-switching was associated with increased comprehension difficulties (r = 0.47). Linguistic factors contributed an additional 21% to the explained variance, with language dominance identified as the strongest predictor. Qualitative findings revealed four major barriers: unclear biomedical terminology, differences between formal and local language registers, ambiguity in spoken instructions, and limited patient participation. Conclusion. Effective health communication requires greater linguistic adaptation through local-language materials, culturally responsive training for healthcare providers, and assessment approaches that recognize multilingual abilities as strengths rather than limitations.
