Abstract

Background: hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and remains a major public health challenge worldwide. Patient adherence to antihypertensive therapy is often suboptimal, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies have emerged as promising tools to enhance medication adherence and support self-monitoring of blood pressure. Objective: this review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth applications in improving blood pressure control among hypertensive patients. Methods: a systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Relevant studies were identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords such as “hypertension,” “telemedicine,” and “blood pressure.” Articles were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and findings were synthesized descriptively to identify trends and outcomes across studies. Results: evidence indicates that mHealth applications integrating patient education, monitoring, and behavioral support are associated with improved medication adherence and reductions in blood pressure. However, results varied across studies due to differences in intervention design, duration of use, and patient characteristics. Conclusion: mHealth applications show potential as effective adjuncts to hypertension management, but further research is needed to optimize personalization, integration with health systems, and accessibility. Proper implementation of these technologies may enhance patient quality of life and contribute to reducing the global burden of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

Background: Sexual harassment is a persistent social and public health problem, particularly in urban contexts where complex social interactions and power relations are prevalent. While existing research has largely centered on victims’ experiences, limited attention has been directed toward understanding the motivations and behavioral patterns of perpetrators, especially within the Indonesian sociocultural context. Objective: This study aimed to explore the motivations, behavioral processes, and cognitive patterns underlying sexual harassment perpetration based on perpetrators’ own perspectives in Bandung City, Indonesia. Methods: A qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach was conducted among individuals convicted of sexual harassment and currently serving sentences in a correctional facility in Bandung City. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify recurring themes related to motivations, behavioral development, rationalization strategies, and moral awareness. Results: Six interrelated themes emerged from the analysis. Sexual harassment behavior was driven by internal psychological factors, including sexual desire, curiosity, emotional dysregulation, and low self-control. Social and cultural environments that normalized harassment reinforced these behaviors. Power imbalances between perpetrators and victims facilitated domination and reduced resistance. Harassing behaviors typically developed gradually, starting with minor boundary violations and escalating over time. Perpetrators employed cognitive rationalization and strategic risk management to justify their actions and avoid detection. Moral awareness and remorse varied and often emerged only after legal consequences were experienced. Conclusion: Sexual harassment perpetration is shaped by a complex interaction of individual, social, and structural factors. Understanding perpetrators’ motivations and behavioral patterns is crucial for informing comprehensive prevention strategies, rehabilitation programs, and policy development. Integrating perpetrator-focused education on consent, emotional regulation, and ethical behavior alongside victim-centered approaches is essential to effectively reduce sexual harassment

Abstract

Anemia is a global health problem that affects the physical fitness, cognitive function, and academic performance of adolescents. In Indonesia, the prevalence of anemia in adolescents is still relatively high. One of the factors contributing to this condition is the lack of physical activity that could potentially support the increase of hemoglobin levels. This study aims to observe if there is a significant effect of morning walking activity on the hemoglobin levels of adolescents with anemia at Al-Amanah Cileunyi Junior High School. This study used quantitative methods with a quasi-experimental approach and a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A sample of 30 people was selected using a purposive sampling technique from a population of 57 students in class VIII based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Interventions in the form of morning walking activities were held twice a week for three weeks. Measurement of hemoglobin levels was collected before and after the intervention using the EasyTouch GCHb digital device. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test. There was a significant increase in hemoglobin levels after the intervention (P < 0.05), and there was a significant difference between male and female. Morning walking has a positive effect on increasing the hemoglobin level of adolescents with anemia. It is recommended that this activity be implemented as a promotive and preventive strategy in the school environment.

Abstract

Penyakit diare sampai saat ini masih merupakan penyebab kematian utama didunia. Menurut data (WHO, 2009) terhitung 5-10 juta kematian/tahun, besarnya masalah tersebut terlihat dari tingginya angka kesakitan dan kematian akibat diare. Bila dilihat per kelompok umur, diare tersebar di semua kelompok umur dengan prevalensi tertinggi terdeteksi pada anak balita (1-4 tahun) yaitu 16,7%. Peran ibu sangatlah penting dalam mencegah terjadinya diare. Pengetahuan ibu tentang diare dapat mempengaruhi cara ibu dalam menangani diare di rumah. Semakin baik pengetahuan ibu, semakin baik pula cara ibu dalam menangani diare, dengan begitu ibu dapat  menurunkan angka kejadian diare pada balita di masa yang akan datang. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini sangat penting untuk dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan ibu tentang diare pada anak usia balita di Kelurahan Padasuka. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif, yang dilakukan di Kelurahan Padasuka Kecamatan Cibeunying Kidul Kota Bandung pada bulan Juni 2015 dengan jumlah sampel 90 orang dengan menggunakan teknik stratifiled random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa kuesioner. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 60% responden memiliki pengetahuan baik, 38% responden memiliki pengetahuan cukup dan 2% responden memiliki pengetahuan kurang. Penguasaan pengetahuan ibu tentang diare yang paling baik yaitu terletak pada materi tentang pencegahan diare sebanyak 80%, sementara untuk penguasaan pengetahuan ibu yang paling kurang yaitu terletak pada materi tentang makanan yang dihindari yaitu sebanyak 64%.Hal ini kemungkinan dikarenakan sudah sering adanya informasi mengenai pencegahan diare yang disampaikan melalui penyuluhan kesehatan oleh tenaga kesehatan, namun untuk penyampaian/penyuluhan mengenai makanan pada saat terkena diare sangat jarang disampaikan. ABSTRACTDiarrhea disease is still the leading cause of death in the world. According to the data (WHO, 2009) since there are about 5-10 million death cases per year. This becomes a serious problem since there are many illness and death cases caused by diarrhea. Seen from the group age, the prevalence of diarrhea spread is detected to toddler (1-4 years old) which is 16.7%. Mother's role is very important in preventing diarrhea. Mother's knowledge on diarrhea can affect the way the mother in addressing diarrhea at home. The better knowledge of the mother, the better the way the mother in dealing with diarrhea, so the mother can reduce the incidence of diarrhea in children under five in the future. Therefore, this study is very important to do. This study is intended to investigate mothers’ knowledge about diarrhea in toddler in Kelurahan Padasuka, Cibeunying Kidul Sub-district, Bandung. The study was conducted in June 2014 and involved 90 people as samples. In specific, this study employs descriptive quantitative, which used stratified random sampling technique and used questionnaire as the instrument. The findings show that 54 respondents (60%) have good knowledge, 34 respondents (38%) have adequate knowledge, and 2 respondents (2%) have lack knowledge about diarrhea. Besides that, most respondents have most understanding on diarrhea prevention (80%), but they have least understanding on food to avoid diarrhea (64%). This likely is due to the frequent lack of information on the prevention of diarrhea are delivered through health counseling by health workers, but for delivery/counseling about food when diarrhea is rarely delivered.

Abstract

Menopause is recognized for inducing various complaints in women, including common experiences such as dizziness, fatigue, and anxiety. Physical exercise has been scientifically proven to enhance both physical and psychological performance. Regular exercise contributes to improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and endurance, reduced stress and anxiety, enhanced cognitive function, and overall well-being and quality of life. Quality of life encompasses an individual's satisfaction with various aspects of life, including the physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions. This study seeks to investigate the impact of exercise on the quality of life among menopausal women, employing an experimental design with a control group and a 12-week pre and post-test. The study involved 32 women aged 45-55 years, divided into two groups: one engaging in Kang Duding exercises (2 sessions of 60 minutes per week) and a control group without intervention. The assessment of quality of life utilized the WHO-QoL questionnaire. The results revealed a significant improvement in all domains of quality of life (QoL) among menopausal women engaging in Kang Duding exercise on physical (p=0.009), psychological (p=0.006), social (p=0.008), and environmental (p=0.029). Physical activity emerges as a key factor contributing to enhanced quality of life, operating through various mechanisms. In conclusion, this study establishes that Kang Duding exercise effectively enhances the quality of life in menopausal women. The findings underscore the significance of incorporating structured physical activity interventions to promote the overall well-being of women during the menopausal transition.

Abstract

Introduction: Nicotine is known to influence appetite suppression and energy expenditure, potentially contributing to the lower body mass index (BMI) observed among smokers. However, the short-term metabolic impact of switching from combustible cigarettes to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) remains uncertain. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of transitioning from conventional cigarettes to e-cigarettes on BMI among young adult male smokers over a three-month period. Method: A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 47 male smokers aged 20–40 years. Participants were allocated into two groups: those who switched to e-cigarettes (n = 30) and those who continued smoking conventional cigarettes (n = 17). BMI was assessed at baseline and after three months. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests to evaluate intra- and intergroup differences. Result: In the e-cigarette group, BMI slightly declined from 24.16 ± 4.42 to 24.06 ± 4.59 kg/m² (Δ = –0.11 ± 0.63, p = 0.379), whereas in the conventional group, BMI increased marginally from 22.54 ± 3.63 to 22.63 ± 3.63 kg/m² (Δ = +0.09 ± 0.52, p = 0.486). The between-group difference in BMI change was not statistically significant (p = 0.289). Conclusion: Short-term transition to e-cigarette use did not result in significant changes in BMI among young adult male smokers. These findings suggest that e-cigarettes are metabolically neutral over short durations and should not be regarded as effective tools for weight control. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to explore longer-term metabolic outcomes.
