Abstract

Corrosion events in daily life present their own problems for an industry. Most corrosion phenomena themselves are electrochemical reactions that occur naturally between metals or metal alloys and the environment. This research aims to determine the corrosion rate of nails using agar media. This research was carried out by calculating the corrosion rate using the weight loss method only due to rusting when the sample was submerged for 36 hours, 72 hours and 108 hours on the corrosion rate of iron nails. Based on research results. From the research it can be concluded that the longer the soaking time, the smaller the rate of corrosion caused by the pack. The corrosion resistance of nails is very good because it is less than 0.02 mm/years. During the immersion period of the iron material in the gelatin medium, the corrosion rate was very good because < 1.

Abstract

Stunting, a growth failure issue in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition, has implications for reduced productivity and an increased risk of degenerative diseases later in life. Inadequate feeding practices and undernutrition are primary causes. To prevent stunting in Tosale Village, leveraging local resources is crucial for enhancing the nutritional quality of children. This community engagement program aimed to educate the community of Tosale Village about stunting and its prevention in at-risk infants through practical training in preparing supplementary food based on Moringa oleifera leaves, packaged as pudding. The training employed a direct practice method involving community members, particularly mothers who are members of the Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT). The core activity involved hands-on practice in making Moringa leaf pudding as an alternative supplementary food for stunting prevention, accompanied by the presentation of materials related to stunting and the benefits of Moringa oleifera. Ten mothers who were PMT cadres participated in this training. The results of the activity demonstrated an increase in participants' knowledge and skills in making Moringa leaf pudding as a nutritious supplementary food. The utilization of local resources such as Moringa oleifera through training in the preparation of varied supplementary foods warrants continued support. This activity provides an alternative for PMT cadre mothers in serving supplementary food that has the potential to prevent stunting in at-risk infants in Tosale Village. Similar training utilizing other local food ingredients is recommended to enrich the options for nutritious supplementary foods.

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

The implementation of the Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) program in Indonesia seeks to achieve Universal Health Coverage by ensuring equitable access to health services for all citizens. Despite this aim, disparities in participation persist, particularly in rural and coastal regions. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing community participation in the JKN program within the working area of Bajoe Community Health Center, Bone Regency. A cross sectional quantitative approach was used to survey 291 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Structured questionnaires were administered to assess demographic characteristics and the influence of five key variables: knowledge, trust, income, health condition, and family support. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi square) statistical techniques. Results revealed that knowledge, trust in the JKN system, income level, and family support had statistically significant associations with program participation (p < 0.05). Specifically, individuals with better knowledge, higher trust, greater income, and supportive families were more likely to be enrolled. Conversely, perceived or actual health status showed no significant correlation with participation. These findings suggest that proactive enrollment behavior is influenced more by informational, economic, and social dynamics than by immediate health needs. The study concludes that increasing JKN participation requires multi-dimensional strategies, including culturally tailored public education, institutional trust building, improved subsidy access for low income households, and family centered outreach. These interventions are essential to bridge participation gaps and strengthen the national health insurance framework.

Abstract

This study specifically examines how promotive and preventive health strategies are implemented in Puskesmas Kuta Alam, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, to address the challenges of urban health services. This study aims to explore the implementation dynamics of these strategies at Puskesmas Kuta Alam, an urban public health center in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, focusing on four themes: communication, resources, staff disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Findings reveal that while health promotion efforts exist, they are constrained by unidirectional communication practices, low community engagement, and a lack of culturally adapted messaging. Human resource limitations, including an absence of trained personnel and insufficient educational infrastructure, further weaken program effectiveness. Staff demonstrated moral commitment to preventive care but lacked formal training and policy literacy, leading to inconsistent implementation of national health regulations. Moreover, the absence of a clearly defined organizational structure for promotive preventive programs resulted in poor coordination and accountability. These insights highlight the systemic challenges faced by Puskesmas in Banda Aceh in translating health policy into practice. The study recommends adopting participatory communication strategies, enhancing training and infrastructure, and establishing a dedicated institutional unit for preventive services. By contributing to the growing body of knowledge on primary health care implementation in LMICs, the study offers evidence based recommendations to strengthen health promotion capacity at the local level.

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

This narrative review examines the role of digital health technologies and big data analytics in pandemic preparedness, with particular reference to COVID-19. The objective was to synthesize evidence on how technological innovations supported healthcare and education during crises and to identify barriers that limit their effectiveness. Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, focusing on empirical studies, case analyses, and systematic reviews related to telehealth, artificial intelligence, digital dashboards, and citizen science initiatives. The review found that digital innovations enabled remote consultations, predictive modeling, and real-time monitoring, which reduced pressure on health systems and informed public policy. Evidence highlighted the value of visual analytics and community-driven data in filling information gaps. However, infrastructural limitations, weak governance, and low public trust constrained adoption, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Comparative analyses showed that countries with strong infrastructures and transparent policies, such as Taiwan and South Korea, achieved more effective outcomes than regions with limited technological readiness. These findings indicate that digital health tools are powerful enablers of crisis response but insufficient in isolation. Sustainable integration requires investment in infrastructure, capacity-building, transparent communication, and participatory approaches. Embedding these reforms into health systems will be critical to ensure equitable access, strengthen resilience, and optimize the benefits of technological innovation for future pandemic preparednessof technological innovations in global health preparedness.

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.
