Abstract

The rapid spread of information and infodemic might result in public confusion and hinder the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Public comprehension of COVID-19 as part of health literacy is an important determinant to filter hoaxes from facts. Therefore, a scoring card called the Karlivid (the COVID-19 literacy and public vaccination scorecard) was developed to evaluate the individual’s comprehension level of COVID-19. A pilot study was conducted with this scoring card. The participants were recruited via consecutive random sampling by using emails from the researcher’s contact list (n=92). A total of 78.3% of the respondents were considered to have an adequate comprehension level. Approximately 77% of all respondents agreed that this card could help them know their comprehension level, 81.5% agreed that this card could improve their comprehension, 81.5% agreed that the items in this card could help them screen facts from hoaxes, and 81.5% agreed that the language used was easily understood by the laypersons. Therefore, the Karlivid is a valid and reliable scorecard that can be used to evaluate public comprehension of COVID-19. Most of the respondents also had a good level of comprehension of this assigned topic

Abstract

Child marriage remains a prevalent issue in many regions, including Indonesia. This practice is associated with significant adverse outcomes, such as interrupted education, elevated maternal morbidity and mortality rates, and prolonged the cycle of poverty. Synchronous learning can foster critical thinking, enabling audience to challenge harmful social norms and traditions that perpetuate child marriage. Thus, to this study aims to improve knowledge about child marriage among residents of Tanjungan Village, Mojokerto, through synchronous learning interventions. By employing a mixed-methods research design, a survey and interview following a synchronous learning from six experts on child marriage, the study explores the current understanding of respondents' knowledge of the minimum marriage age, the effects of child marriage, and evaluates the effectiveness of synchronous learning programs in enhancing knowledge towards delaying marriage. Sixty-five adolescents and adults from Tanjungan Village, Mojokerto District, East Java, participated in synchronous learning on regulation of child marriage and its consequences. A questionnaire is distributed to assess their knowledge of government regulations on the minimum age of marriage, minimum and maximum age of marriage, and age disparity during marriage before and after the activity followed by interviews with five participants, whom willing to be interviewed, to further explore their understanding of child marriage. The results show an increase in knowledge of the legal age for marriage (from 89.23% to 100%), with females demonstrating a higher level of understanding of this regulation. Interestingly, after the intervention, respondents' understanding of the maximum age limit for marriage varied more, with the majority suggesting ages between 21 and 26. These findings suggest that direct learning interventions can be effective in increasing awareness about child marriage, particularly regarding legal age limits. However, further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of these interventions and to develop strategies to address the underlying social and cultural factors that contribute to child marriage.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a crucial period for the development of mental health. Enhancing mental health literacy can reduce stigma and support early intervention and treatment. This study aims to examine the mental health status and mental health literacy among middle and late adolescents in a rural area of Mojokerto District, East Java, Indonesia. Methods: A total of 81 high school students from Mojokerto District participated in the study. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale – Youth version (DASS-Y) was used to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Mental health literacy was measured using the Adolescent Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (AMHL). The validity of the AMHL was tested on 30 students using Pearson correlation. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the prevalence of mental health conditions and levels of mental health literacy. Inferential statistics were applied to explore associations between mental health status, literacy, and sociodemographic variables. Results: The results showed that 53% of students experienced symptoms of mental health problems. While most students demonstrated moderate to satisfactory mental health literacy, significant gaps remain. Enhancing literacy may help reduce stigma and improve knowledge and attitudes toward mental health. Sociodemographic factors and mental health literacy showed limited influence on mental health status. However, sex was significantly associated with both mental health literacy and mental health status (p = 0.016 and p = 0.032, respectively). Conclusion: Mental health during adolescence significantly influences adult well-being. Improving adolescent mental health literacy is crucial for early recognition, stigma reduction, and better access to mental health care.

Abstract

Thalassemia is the most common monogenic disease in Asia, including Indonesia that causes burdens for the government, patients, and families. As the sixth most non-communicable disease, thalassemia utilized IDR 600 billion in 2022 for more than 300 thousand cases. With, 3.8% of Indonesians carrying a mutation of thalassemia on their globin gene, this economic burden is projected will increase if no actions are taken. On the other hand, child marriage is reported to increase every year, including among orphans. Without proper knowledge and genetic testing on thalassemia, child marriage might contribute to the increasing of thalassemia patients. Thus, increasing knowledge on thalassemia among orphan adolescents is important. This community development uses several methods, including seminar, discussion, book, and poster, targeting the orphan adolescents (n= 40) in Mojokerta, East Java. A questionnaire on thalassemia was used to measure the knowledge, before and after the activity. The results show that the respondents have a moderate knowledge about thalassemia (median= 4 (0-9)), and increase to median=9 (3-10)) after the activities (p< 0.001). Even though overall knowledge is increased, several information including thalassemia is a genetic disease, not similar to blood cancer, not the only type of anemia (Q6), and how to diagnose thalassemia (Q9) still need to be emphasized. Taken together, direct and indirect approaches, such as seminar, discussion, book, and poster are effective in increasing thalassemia knowledge among orphan adolescents. These activities are more effective in targeting late adolescents, compared to early and middle adolescents. However, more effective methods are necessary to target Generation Z who are more familiar with the internet.

Abstract

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause significant gastrointestinal mucosal injury, particularly in the duodenum. This damage is often initiated by localized erosion of the duodenal mucosa, which triggers a subsequent inflammatory cascade. The porang tuber (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) is a promising candidate for mitigating this injury due to its rich composition of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and glucomannan, all of which possess known anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the protective effect of an ethanolic A. oncophyllus extract on the duodenal mucosa in an indomethacin-induced rat model. Thirty Wistar white rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly assigned to five groups: a vehicle control, a model group receiving indomethacin, and three treatment groups that were pretreated with A. oncophyllus extract at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, respectively, for seven days before a single dose of indomethacin. Our findings demonstrated that the A. oncophyllus extract, particularly at a dose of 200 mg/kg, effectively reduced duodenal mucosal injury caused by indomethacin. This protective effect is likely attributable to the extract's phytochemical profile, which contains flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and alkaloids. In conclusion, this research confirms that A. oncophyllus extract has the potential to protect the duodenal mucosa from NSAID-induced damage.
