Abstract

Background: Strengthening primary and community health systems is crucial in improving population health, particularly in developing countries. Various studies have emphasized the importance of healthcare workers, such as physicians, physical therapists, and community health workers (CHWs), in promoting equitable and effective health service delivery. This study aims to analyze the roles, challenges, and innovations in developing primary and community health systems in resource-limited settings. Methods: This study employed a narrative literature review approach using peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2023. Data sources included PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Keywords used were “primary care,” “community health workers,” “health system strengthening,” and “developing countries.” Thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns, innovations, and policy implications. Results: The review found that CHWs significantly contribute to cost-effective care and improved service coverage in underserved areas. Innovations such as insurance administration-free models and participatory research-based interventions in South Africa were effective in enhancing decision-making among CHWs. Additionally, interventions for non-communicable diseases (e.g., hypertension, diabetes) and pediatric oncology in Sub-Saharan Africa demonstrated the need for tailored health strategies. In the education sector, the integration of mental health and research ethics training for healthcare workers in South Africa and Uganda reinforced the importance of investing in human resources for health. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of empowering healthcare workers, implementing innovative service delivery models, and enhancing health education systems. Strengthening public health systems requires collaborative policy efforts and sustained investment to promote health equity and resilience, especially in low-resource settings.

Abstract

Background: mental health is an important component in the treatment of hemodialysis patients, which is often overlooked. Patients face psychological distress due to lifestyle changes, physical limitations, and long-term therapeutic processes that have the potential to trigger depression and anxiety. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Health Promotion Model (HPM) approach in improving the mental health of hemodialysis patients through holistic interventions. Method The research used a mixed-methods approach with a pre-test and quasi-experimental post-test with a control group design. Interventions include health education, stress management, psychological counselling, and strengthening social support. The results of the quantitative analysis showed a significant improvement in patients' mental health scores in the intervention group compared to the control group. Qualitative data reveal changes in disease perception, improved adaptive coping strategies, and the important role of social support in maintaining emotional stability. Conclusion: The holistic application of HPM is effective in strengthening psychological resilience and improving the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. This intervention is recommended to be systematically integrated into hemodialysis services in health facilities.

Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Grobogan Regency remains high, with Antenatal Care (ANC) coverage falling short of national targets. The Wirosari II Health Center reports particularly low K6 coverage at 37.92%. This study evaluates ANC service implementation at Purwodadi I and Wirosari II Health Centers to provide improvement recommendations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with midwives, maternal and child health workers, and pregnant women. Data validation was conducted via triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. Findings reveal adequate human resources, but uneven health worker training. Infrastructure is sufficient, though equipment damage hinders Wirosari II. Service procedures align with standards, but SOP violations and limited nutrition personnel were noted in Purwodadi I. While K1 and K4 targets are achieved in Purwodadi I, Wirosari II struggles with recording and networking issues. Overall, ANC implementation in Purwodadi I is effective, while Wirosari II requires improvements in data recording, health worker training, and resource management. These findings provide actionable recommendations to enhance maternal health services in Grobogan Regency.

Abstract

Most studies tended to focus on the association of health conditions or tantrum behavior in toddlers with maternal mental health. This study aimed to determine the differences in WHO SRQ-20 scores and the association of WHO SRQ-20 outcomes with fecal disposal factors and drinking water sources. This study used secondary data from RISKESDAS 2018, involving 670 mothers with children aged 6-23 months. The WHO SRQ-20 questionnaire was used to measure general mental health disorders. Mann-Whitney analysis was conducted to determine the difference in scores, while Chi-Square was used to examine the association of WHO SRQ-20 outcomes with toddler feces disposal factors and drinking water sources. All analyses were performed using SPSS 22.0, with a significance value of <0.05. The analysis showed that inappropriate fecal disposal and poor drinking water sources increased the total WHO SRQ-20 score (p=0.003, & p=0.041). Both factors were positively correlated with seven common mental health symptoms in mothers with children aged 6-23 months, including no appetite, difficulty thinking, difficulty making decisions, feelings of fear, trembling hands, and indigestion, with significant p-values (p<0.05) for each symptom. Environmental quality, especially inappropriate fecal disposal and poor drinking water sources, was significantly correlated with increased mental health symptoms among mothers with children aged 6-23 months.

Abstract

Recent evidence shows high rates of treatment failure among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients on short-course regimens. This clinic-based case–control study used Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) data from Central Java, Indonesia (2021–2023) to examine associations between employment status, HIV status, baseline sputum examination, and body mass index (BMI) with specific categories of treatment failure (treatment failure, diagnostic change, regimen modification, loss to follow-up, and death). Overall treatment failure was 70.59%, including 15.3% deaths. Employment status was significantly associated with failure category (p=0.022), with unemployed patients disproportionately experiencing loss to follow-up (82.5%) and death (59.6%). HIV-reactive patients were more likely to undergo regimen modification (p=0.009; 1.8%). Baseline sputum results showed the strongest association (p<0.001): negative sputum was linked to diagnostic change (49.1%) and unknown sputum status to loss to follow-up (66.7%). Low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) was also associated with failure category (p=0.037), particularly loss to follow-up (75.4%) and death (33.3%). These findings implicate socioeconomic vulnerability, HIV co-infection, absent or negative baseline sputum results, and undernutrition as important determinants of distinct short-course MDR-TB treatment failures and support integrated, patient-centred interventions to improve outcomes.
