Abstract

Air pollution is a major environmental issue affecting urban areas worldwide, with significant health implications for millions of residents. In Jakarta, rapid urbanization and industrial activities have contributed to deteriorating air quality, exposing the population to harmful pollutants such as particulate matter (PM₂.₅, PM₁₀), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ozone (O₃), and carbon monoxide (CO). This study aimed to analyze the impact of air pollution on public health in Jakarta, identify key hazardous pollutants, and evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation policies. A literature review approach and secondary data analysis were utilized, incorporating air quality monitoring data, epidemiological studies, and government reports. The results indicate that prolonged exposure to air pollutants correlates with increased cases of respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis, COPD), cardiovascular disorders, and overall mortality rates. The study also observes fluctuating air quality trends in Jakarta between 2020 and 2024, with periods of improvement attributed to regulatory interventions. Findings highlight the urgency of implementing stricter pollution control policies, promoting public transportation, and enhancing air quality monitoring systems. The study concludes that a multi-stakeholder approach, involving government, industry, and communities, is essential for sustainable urban air quality management. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of air pollution exposure and the effectiveness of policy measures in reducing health risks.

Abstract

Community empowerment is one of the main strategies in addressing the challenges faced by rural communities. However, rural empowerment efforts are often faced with various barriers, including low health literacy, dependence on external assistance, and lack of sustainable policy support. This study aims to explore the potential and constraints of community empowerment in environmental health education, occupational safety and health (OSH), and balanced nutrition in rural areas. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with community leaders, health workers, and village government, as well as focus group discussions with local communities. In addition, field observations were made to identify environmental conditions, community behaviours, and practices related to environmental health, OSH, and nutrition consumption patterns. The results of the research will be analysed using a thematic approach to identify patterns and relationships between community participation and the success of empowerment programmes. The findings suggest that community empowerment supported by participatory approaches, local needs-based education, and inter-sectoral synergies can be an effective strategy to address environmental health and OSH issues, and realise the sustainability of community development programmes.

Abstract

The implementation of the Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (PHBS) programme in the elementary school environment constitutes a significant preventive measure in the reduction of the incidence of infectious diseases. The present research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a participatory-based community service method that focuses on the implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the PHBS Program in preventing infectious diseases in the primary school environment. The target audience comprised 30 students in grades IV to VI, three homeroom teachers, and School Health Unit (UKS) administrators, all of whom participated in every stage of the activity. The qualitative data was analysed descriptively by comparing pretest and posttest scores, while qualitative data were analysed using data reduction techniques, thematic categorisation and narrative interpretation to obtain a more holistic picture of changes in students' knowledge, attitudes, behaviour, and collective awareness of the importance of healthy living. The programme has been demonstrated to be effective in the transformation of theoretical understanding into concrete habits within the school environment through the implementation of interactive, visual-based, and hands-on educational approaches, including role play and simulation. Its success has been demonstrated as a preventative strategy against infectious diseases, as well as an effective character-building approach for students in maintaining hygiene and health independently and sustainably.

Abstract

Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of school-based comprehensive sexuality education in reducing teenage pregnancy rates through improving knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviours. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design on 200 secondary school students in an area with high pregnancy rates. The UNESCO guideline-based comprehensive sexuality education intervention covered biological, emotional, social aspects, and decision-making skills delivered through active learning. Data were collected using a validated structured questionnaire and analysed using t-test and multiple linear regression. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitude, and pregnancy prevention behaviour scores in the intervention group compared to the control (p < 0.001). The regression model revealed that knowledge and attitude were the main predictors of prevention behaviour with a contribution of 54.2%. These findings confirm that comprehensive sexuality education is effective in improving reproductive health literacy and shaping healthy and responsible sexual behaviour. Therefore, the main recommendation is to integrate this programme into the national curriculum and strengthen teacher training to support sustainable teenage pregnancy prevention.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease requiring long-term management, particularly through adherence to dietary recommendations to maintain blood glucose stability and prevent complications. Nevertheless, many patients show poor compliance with dietary guidelines. This study aimed to determine the relationship between patients’ knowledge, family support, and dietary adherence in DM management. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed with 75 outpatients at Ambacang Health Center, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection used standardized and validated questionnaires, and analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results demonstrated significant associations between knowledge and dietary compliance (p = 0.012) as well as between family support and dietary compliance (p = 0.001). Patients with higher knowledge and stronger family support were more likely to adhere to dietary recommendations. These findings emphasize the importance of educational interventions involving both patients and families. Family support in emotional, motivational, and practical aspects enhances commitment to following dietary plans. In conclusion, adequate knowledge and strong family support play crucial roles in improving dietary adherence among DM patients. Healthcare providers are encouraged to provide ongoing education for both patients and families to strengthen adherence to dietary management and optimize diabetes care outcomes.
