The trend in the proportion of children with tuberculosis or TB cases in Indonesia has increased from 2014 to 2016. Family attitudes and practices include factors related to the incidence of TB in children. This study aims to describe the attitudes and practices of TB families regarding the prevention of pulmonary TB in the Children's Specialist Polyclinic of the Makassar Center for Lung Health. The type of research used is quantitative with a descriptive approach. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling method so that 31 families of TB patients of children who were respondents to this study were obtained—data analysis using univariate analysis. The results showed that the attitude of respondents was more positive, with several 16 people (51.6%). In contrast, respondents who had a negative attitude were 15 people (48.4%). Respondent's practice is more in the good category, with 19 people (61.3%), and bad practices in as many as 12 people (38.7%). This study concludes that most respondents have good attitudes and practices regarding pulmonary tuberculosis. It is recommended that the relevant agencies put up posters, provide leaflets in the pediatrician's polyclinic waiting room, provide educational advertisements about pulmonary tuberculosis in the main waiting room, and provide routine counseling to the families of tuberculosis patients.

Abstract

The implementation of Smoke Free Zone (SFZ) policies is a critical public health strategy, especially in densely populated urban settings. This study examines how residents of Kendari City, Indonesia, perceive and adapt to SFZ regulations enacted under Local Regulation No. 4 of 2019. Specifically, it explores community understanding, experiences, and behavioral responses to smoking restrictions in public spaces. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing purposive sampling to select twelve informants from various socio economic backgrounds. Data were gathered through semi structured interviews, non-participant observation, and field documentation. Thematic analysis was used to interpret interview transcripts and observational notes. The findings show limited community understanding of SFZ boundaries, with common misconceptions about designated areas. While most residents support the policy’s intent, cultural norms and perceived lack of authority reduce active enforcement. Structural barriers such as economic hardship, nicotine addiction, and weak public communication further constrain compliance. Nonetheless, positive adaptations are evident, including peer influence, community-led signage, and selective smoking avoidance in public spaces. These behaviors reflect the role of informal networks and increasing health awareness. The study concludes that SFZ policy effectiveness is contingent on interdisciplinary approaches, inclusive communication, and localized community engagement. Rather than relying solely on top down regulation, integrating health messaging, urban design, and community leadership is essential for fostering sustained compliance. The insights from Kendari highlight the potential of participatory and culturally responsive strategies in strengthening public health policies.

Abstract

Obesity in Jakarta has reached one of the fastest growth rates in Indonesia, with prevalence now surpassing 40% among adults in certain districts higher than many other major cities in the country. This study provides new evidence on how socioeconomic, lifestyle, and environmental conditions uniquely shape obesity risk in Jakarta’s rapidly urbanizing context. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of adults aged 20–65 years from all five municipalities of Jakarta, using stratified random sampling to ensure representativeness. Data combined structured questionnaires on income, education, physical activity, sedentary time, and dietary patterns with direct anthropometric measurements. Logistic regression models were applied to identify the strongest predictors of obesity, with particular attention to environmental exposures such as proximity to fast-food outlets and access to fresh markets. Results showed that adults with higher income (>Rp 7 million/month) and those sedentary for more than 8 hours/day had the highest prevalence of obesity (44% and 49%, respectively). In contrast, individuals with higher education demonstrated lower risk, underscoring the protective role of health literacy. Environmental factors also mattered: closer distance to fast-food outlets (mean 0.6 km) and greater distance from fresh markets (mean 1.4 km) were associated with higher obesity prevalence. To address these urgent challenges, Jakarta requires concrete and context-specific strategies. Policy actions should include introducing a sugar-sweetened beverage tax, expanding safe and green public spaces particularly in North Jakarta and embedding mandatory nutrition education in public schools and workplace wellness programs. Integrating fiscal policy, urban planning, and health education into a cohesive strategy offers a viable pathway to reverse the city’s obesity trajectory.

Abstract

Tobacco use among Indonesian youth remains alarmingly high despite ongoing anti-smoking initiatives, posing a significant public health challenge. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and key demographic determinants of youth smoking in Indonesia, utilizing a cross-sectional analysis of the 2023 Riskesdas national health survey and a 2024 Ministry of Health press release. Variables examined included age, gender, education, income level, and urban or rural residency, analyzed using frequency distributions, cross-tabulations, and logistic regression. Results revealed that smoking rates peaked among youth aged 20–24 (18.5%), with males and individuals from lower education and income backgrounds at greater risk. Urban youth and those who began smoking before age 15 were also more likely to develop long-term dependence. Socioeconomic disadvantage, limited health literacy, and weak enforcement of tobacco laws emerged as major risk factors. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive, multi-sectoral, and culturally adapted strategies including strengthened school-based programs, community engagement, stricter tobacco advertising bans, and increased tobacco taxation to effectively reduce youth smoking. Coordinated actions across education, policy, healthcare, and media sectors are critical for protecting Indonesia’s next generation from the harms of tobacco.

Abstract

Wearable devices are gaining recognition as vital tools in preventive health monitoring, enabling a shift from reactive to proactive care models. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on the effectiveness of wearables in four key areas: cardiovascular health, diabetes management, general fitness, and elderly care. Findings indicate that wearable ECGs and blood pressure monitors improve early detection of cardiovascular risks and help reduce hospitalizations. Continuous glucose monitoring significantly enhances glycemic control, although access remains unequal between developed and developing countries. Fitness wearables increase physical activity, yet adoption is shaped by socioeconomic and cultural factors. Among elderly populations, wearable technologies support vital sign tracking and emergency detection, contributing to autonomy and safety, though challenges in digital literacy and affordability persist. Despite these benefits, several systemic barriers limit broader impact—particularly data privacy concerns, regulatory fragmentation, interoperability issues, and cost. Addressing these challenges requires integrated policy responses, user-centered design, and equitable access strategies. This review concludes that while wearable devices offer substantial potential for improving population health, realizing their impact depends on resolving critical access and infrastructure gaps, particularly in low-resource settings. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies and culturally tailored innovations to enhance real-world effectiveness and global scalability.

Abstract

School Children’s Snacks (PJAS) serve as one of the daily food sources for students; however, many issues regarding hygiene and food safety are still frequently found. The 2023 BPOM inspection revealed that 126 samples (55.75%) did not meet biological standards due to contamination by Escherichia coli. In addition, three samples of noodles and tofu (1.95%) were found not to meet chemical standards because they contained formalin. This situation is exacerbated by the lack of supervision from parents and teachers, as well as students’ limited knowledge about food safety. To address these problems, a community service program was conducted at SMA Negeri 5 Palu on August 25, 2025. The activity began with coordination between the principal and teachers regarding the use of an e-booklet as an educational medium for PJAS. A pre-test was carried out to assess students’ baseline knowledge, followed by counseling sessions delivered through short lectures, e-booklets, and videos. A post-test was then administered to measure knowledge improvement. To further motivate students, educational games with prizes were organized, and the PJAS e-booklet was handed over to the school for continuous use. Analysis of the pre- and post-test results showed a significant increase, both in understanding PJAS selection and awareness of harmful substances. Thus, this educational activity effectively enhanced students’ knowledge of safe PJAS consumption and helped reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
