Abstract

Abstract: Short-term memory has an important role in cognitive function, especially in the process of learning and remembering information in a short period of time. One of the external factors that is often associated with memory abilities is music. A number of studies have found that music can improve focus and memory, but there are also studies that show that music can actually interfere with concentration. This difference in results became the basis for a study to find out whether there was a difference in short-term memory between the group that listened to music and the group that did not listen to music in students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Muhammadiyah North Sumatra. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental post-test with control group design and was analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference between the two groups. The average short-term memory score for students who listen to music is 9.6486, while for students who do not listen to music is 6.3784 with a p-value of 0.001. These findings suggest that listening to music can have a positive effect on short-term memory improvement, especially when the music chosen is in accordance with individual preferences and supported by memorization practice.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a major public health problem. Treatment success depends heavily on adherence to anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) therapy; however, the long treatment duration may reduce adherence and increase the risk of recurrence. Objective: This study aimed to describe the demographic characteristics of pulmonary TB patients and to analyze the association between adherence to ATD therapy and TB recurrence at Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan. Methods: A quantitative observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 33 pulmonary TB patients treated at Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan (November–December 2025). Data were collected using an ATD adherence questionnaire and complemented with medical record data. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient characteristics, adherence levels, and recurrence status, while the Chi-square test was applied to assess the association between adherence and recurrence (p < 0.05). Results: Most respondents exhibited low adherence to ATD therapy (66.7%), and a high proportion experienced TB recurrence (78.8%). The majority were male (51.5%), predominantly in the adult age group (41–60 years; 51.5%), had a senior high school education (87.9%), and were self-employed. A statistically significant association was found between adherence to ATD therapy and TB recurrence (p = 0.046). Implications: These findings reinforce the need to strengthen adherence-support strategies in hospital TB services, including structured counseling, active follow-up, and family or treatment supervisor involvement, to reduce recurrence risk and improve program outcomes. Originality/Value: This study provides facility-based evidence from Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan, demonstrating a significant relationship between adherence level and recurrence status, offering locally relevant data to guide targeted adherence interventions and recurrence prevention in hospital settings.

Abstract

Medan City is one of the regions with significant stunting reduction achievements, from 19.9% ​​in 2021 to 5.8% in 2023. This achievement demonstrates the success of various intervention programs. However, the effectiveness of public communication, particularly through digital media, still requires in-depth evaluation to ensure that stunting prevention messages are truly understood and internalised by the target group. This study aims to analyse digital communication strategies for public stunting prevention campaigns in Medan City, Sumatra, Indonesia. The research method used is a mixed method with quantitative analysis through SEM-PLS and qualitative analysis through content analysis of digital campaigns. The results show that digital communication through social media can expand the reach of information, enhance interactivity, and strengthen public awareness of the importance of stunting prevention. However, the effectiveness of messages is still influenced by digital literacy, content relevance, and active audience involvement in the communication process.
