Abstract

Introduction: HIV/AIDS remains a critical public health issue in Makassar, with increasing cases reported across key populations, including transgender commercial sex workers (waria). Surveillance data indicate substantial HIV prevalence among waria, while behavioral factors such as limited knowledge, inconsistent preventive practices, and high-risk sexual networks contribute to ongoing transmission. This study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors of transgender sex workers regarding HIV/AIDS. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in 2011 along Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan, Makassar. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document review involving eight informants: seven transgender sex workers and one outreach worker from an NGO. Data were analyzed through reduction, narrative presentation, and thematic interpretation. Result: findings show that informants entered sex work due to early socialization, environmental influence, perceived enjoyment, and economic motives. Knowledge of HIV/AIDS varied; most informants recognized HIV as a virus that weakens the immune system, yet many were unable to differentiate clearly between causes and transmission routes. Attitudes toward peers living with HIV were generally positive, reflected by emotional support and encouragement to seek treatment. However, attitudes toward clients remained risky, with informants willing to engage in sexual activity even when clients showed symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. Preventive behaviors were inconsistent; although many preferred condom use, compliance depended heavily on client willingness. Self-treatment using non-prescribed medications was common, and formal healthcare utilization was limited. Conclusion: Transgender sex workers demonstrated partial understanding and inconsistent preventive practices related to HIV/AIDS. Strengthened health promotion, improved risk perception, and greater access to supportive services are essential to enhance safer behaviors and reduce HIV transmission within this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Pharmacist-led drug counseling is a core component of pharmaceutical care and plays an important role in supporting rational medicine use and patient-centered services. Variations in the frequency of counseling provided in pharmaceutical installations may influence how patients perceive service quality and satisfaction. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 patients receiving pharmaceutical services in pharmaceutical installations. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring patients’ perceptions of the frequency of pharmacist-led drug counseling and their level of satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were applied using statistical software. Results: The findings showed that patients generally perceived drug counseling to be provided frequently and reported a high level of satisfaction with pharmaceutical services. A statistically significant positive correlation was identified between perceived counseling frequency and patient satisfaction, indicating that more frequent counseling was associated with higher satisfaction levels. Conclusion: Frequent pharmacist-led drug counseling contributes positively to patient satisfaction in pharmaceutical installations and should be strengthened as part of quality improvement efforts in pharmaceutical care

Abstract

Introduction: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a fundamental component of public health promotion aimed at preventing environmentally related diseases. In Kecamatan Baguala, Ambon, the inconsistent implementation of PHBS indicates a gap between knowledge, attitudes, and actual practices. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of value-based health education interventions in improving PHBS among community members. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was employed from August 2024 to January 2025. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, including health cadres, community leaders, homemakers, and general residents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was conducted using data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification procedures. Triangulation ensured credibility and data saturation. Results: Findings revealed that baseline PHBS knowledge was superficial, attitudes were generally positive but inconsistently practised, and behavioral implementation was influenced by cultural habits and structural limitations. The value-based intervention enhanced awareness, strengthened intrinsic motivation, and promoted gradual behavioural improvements in handwashing, sanitation, and household hygiene management. Conclusion: Value-based health education effectively improved cognitive, motivational, and social dimensions of PHBS. Sustainable implementation, however, requires integrated support involving infrastructure, community engagement, and policy reinforcement

Abstract

Pain during the first stage of labor frequently heightens maternal stress and may interfere with the physiological progress of childbirth. This study examined the effectiveness of endorphine massage as a non-pharmacological technique for reducing pain experienced by women in the active phase of first-stage labor. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted with sixteen consecutively recruited participants from a community health center. The intervention consisted of a structured endorphine-massage protocol delivered by trained midwives, involving gentle rhythmic strokes and light pressure applied for approximately 15 minutes to the lower back, shoulders, and pelvic area. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the validated Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Normality was confirmed with the Shapiro–Wilk test, permitting the use of a paired t-test. The mean pain score decreased from 7.40 before the intervention to 6.13 afterward, indicating a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.001) with a moderate effect size. These findings suggest that endorphine massage may serve as a supportive option for managing pain during the active phase of labor. However, the small sample size and single-site setting limit generalizability, and larger multi-center studies are recommended to strengthen the evidence base for clinical application

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension remains one of the leading chronic conditions affecting older adults and requires sustained self-care adherence to prevent cardiovascular and renal complications. Multiple behavioral factors influence adherence, yet evidence regarding the contribution of knowledge, attitudes, and motivation among Indonesian older adults remains limited. This study aimed to examine the associations between knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and self-care adherence among older adults with hypertension in Palu, Indonesia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted between May and June 2026 involving 72 older adults with hypertension selected through accidental sampling from a population of 250 eligible patients. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and self-care adherence. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics, while Chi-square tests and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate associations. Statistical significance was established at p<0.05. Results: Most participants demonstrated good knowledge (59.7%), positive attitudes (62.5%), high motivation (66.7%), and adherence to hypertension self-care (63.9%). Good knowledge was significantly associated with greater adherence (OR=9.77; 95% CI: 3.05–31.35; p<0.001). Participants with positive attitudes were more likely to adhere to recommended self-care practices (OR=12.89; 95% CI: 3.85–43.17; p<0.001). High motivation showed the strongest association with adherence (OR=35.00; 95% CI: 8.36–146.59; p<0.001). Conclusion: Knowledge, positive attitudes, and motivation were significantly associated with self-care adherence among older adults with hypertension. Strengthening patient education, motivational counseling, family engagement, and continuous follow-up may improve long-term adherence and contribute to better hypertension management in primary healthcare settings

Abstract

Introduction: Medication counseling is an essential component of patient-centered pharmaceutical care, contributing to medication safety, adherence, and patient satisfaction. In hospital pharmacy settings, counseling practices are often influenced by workload and service constraints, resulting in variability in counseling frequency. Understanding how patients perceive and interpret the frequency of medication counseling is therefore important for improving the quality of pharmacy services. This study aimed to explore patients’ perceptions of the frequency of medication counseling provided by pharmacists and to examine its role in shaping patient satisfaction within a hospital pharmacy setting. Research Methodology: A qualitative case study design was employed at the pharmacy installation of a regional general hospital in Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with patients, pharmacists, and supporting staff, complemented by non-participant observations and document review. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed thematically through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, with credibility ensured through triangulation of sources and techniques. Results: The findings revealed that medication counseling frequency was delivered inconsistently and varied according to workload, patient volume, and medication characteristics. Patients perceived frequent counseling as a sign of professional care that enhanced understanding, confidence, and trust in pharmacists. Consistent counseling contributed positively to patient satisfaction, whereas limited counseling led to uncertainty in medication use. Organizational factors, such as staffing limitations and service flow, were identified as key constraints on counseling practices. Conclusion: Medication counseling frequency is a meaningful experiential factor that shapes patient satisfaction and the quality of pharmacist-patient interactions. Strengthening counseling consistency through organizational support and standardized practices may improve patient-centered pharmaceutical care in hospital settings.

Abstract

Introduction: HIV and AIDS are known to have become an emergency problem around the world, where infection transmission, morbidity rates, and mortality rates are still high. The existence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is one of the scary scourges in the community because of its unexpected transmission by HIV due to human behavior. Objective: This study aims to analyze social determinants with quality of life in people with HIV/AIDS in the Voluntary Counseling and Testing Clinic. Methods: This study is an analytical study using a cross-sectional study research design. The population in this study is all HIV/AIDS patients domiciled in Kendari City. The sample consisted of 177 respondents, determined by simple random sampling. Data analysis uses the chi-square test and the multiple logistics test. Result: The results of the study showed that there was a stigma relationship with Odhiv's quality of life at the VCT Clinic of Kendari City Hospital (p = 0.000) and there was a relationship between social support and Odhiv's quality of life at the VCT Clinic of Kendari City Hospital (p = 0.000). The variable that has the greatest influence on the quality of life of ODHIV is the social support variable with an OR of 0.353. Conclusion: The variable that has the greatest influence on the quality of life of People with HIV/AIDS (ODHIV) is social support. Social support has proven to be a very significant factor in improving the quality of life of people living with HIV. Individuals with strong social support, whether from family, friends, or the community, tend to have a better quality of life than those who receive less social support. Social support plays a role in helping people with HIV cope with stigma, reduce psychological pressure, and provide a sense of security and comfort that can have a positive impact on their physical and mental well-being.
