Abstract

Background: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) present a significant challenge in the public health field. Health professionals are at the forefront of controlling the transmission and management of this disease; hence, efforts to update knowledge regarding STDs are very important for this group. Purpose: This study aims to explain the effect of integrated counseling on increase STD knowledge in an effort to prevent the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases. Methods: We carried out health education activities containing material related to aetiology, modes of transmission, risk factors, risk groups, and therapy for sexually transmitted diseases at one hospital in Surakarta. The Sexually Transmitted Disease Knowledge Questionnaire (STD-KQ) was used to assess participants' knowledge regarding STDs, which was distributed before and after giving the material. The difference in STD-KQ scores before and after the counselling session was analysed using the Wilcoxon Test. Result: Prior to the counselling session, 22 (32.83%) participants had poor knowledge, 41 (61.19%) had moderate knowledge, and only 4 (5.97%) possessed a good understanding of STDs. Following the counselling session, there was a noteworthy improvement in knowledge levels, with 47 (70.14%) participants now classified as having good knowledge. Additionally, 18 (26.86%) participants maintained a moderate level of knowledge, while 2 (2.98%) retained poor knowledge. The analysis showed that the difference was statistically significant (P value < 0.001).

Abstract

Background: Leprosy remains a public health problem, with various factors contributingo the transmission and progression of the disease. Stigma and discrimination towards leprosy patients have hindered the treatment and eradication of the disease.  Purpose: To identify the related factors and strategies to overcome stigmas towards leprosy patients. Review: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that affects skin and nerve, and causes visible permanent impairment if the patients do not get adequate treatment. Therefore, visible clinicalnifestations and cultural beliefs have createdigma towards leprosy patients, which negatively impacts their quality of life and their awareness of seeking health care. These factors may lead to patients avoiding diagnosis and treatment, which in turn increases number of G2D cases and transmission rate. Cultural and religious beliefs, low education level, and minimal information about leprosy have been known to contribute to the stigma. Several strategies can be considered to use to overcome stigma and discrimination towards leprosy patients. Conclusions: nderstanding factors related to leprosy stigma and its effects on the progression of the disease will help determine the strategies to overcome stigma and discrimination.

Abstract

Background: Immunodermatology is a medical specialty specializing in detecting and treating skin conditions induced by a compromised immune system response. Each cellular element of the skin undergoes a unique developmental process and serves a specific function within the skin. Many disorders affecting epithelial organs, including the skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract, and respiratory tracts, require immunodermatological testing for diagnosis and treatment. Immunodermatology, a field at the intersection of dermatology and immunology, continues to evolve, with new research being published annually. Purpose: This review aims to summarize the foundational principles of immunodermatology, current diagnostic approaches, and selected immune-mediated skin disorders. Review: There are numerous dermatological conditions related to immunodermatology. Advances in immunology and dermatology have enhanced our understanding of the skin as an active immune organ. Immunodermatology encompasses a wide range of diseases involving both innate and adaptive immunity. Despite growing research, many aspects remain under investigation. Conclusion: The skin’s immunological function could be viewed as a complex and multifaceted interplay between signal processing and defense reactions. Immunodermatology continues to expand with ongoing innovations in diagnostics and therapeutics, highlighting its importance in future clinical and research developments.

Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) involves collaboration among various fields within the healthcare system to achieve optimal health outcomes. IPE reduces gaps between health professionals from diverse backgrounds, fostering teamwork and effective collaboration. Early integration of IPE into medical curricula is essential to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for collaborative healthcare practices, ultimately improving patient care, reducing medical errors, and enhancing healthcare service quality. This review investigates the impact of early exposure to IPE on the skills, attitudes, and collaborative abilities of medical students in Asia. The goal is to assess whether early introduction fosters professionalism and effective interprofessional collaboration. Literature searches were conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed with appropriate keywords (interprofessional education, collaboration, medicine, and education). Articles were assessed for evidence-based relevance to the global health system, and those with cultural, racial, or religious biases were excluded. Review writing review based on 40 sources (journals, books, or WHO guidelines) that meet the criteria and keywords. Findings suggest that early engagement with IPE promotes positive attitudes, teamwork, and leadership skills among medical students. However, concerns remain regarding insufficient genuine interprofessional collaboration and potential declines in student attitudes without proper implementation. The early introduction of IPE has the potential to cultivate professionalism and collaborative skills among medical students in Asia. This review provides a foundation for encouraging the inclusion of IPE in medical curricula to improve interprofessional collaboration and healthcare outcomes.

Abstract

The 4.0 Revolution has profoundly changed education, particularly in civic education. This research explores the implementation of digital citizenship in the Civic Education (Civics) curriculum, identifies the challenges, and assesses the relationship between Civics and digital citizenship skills. The study used qualitative methods to explore the integration of information and communication technology in Civics teaching and strategies for developing students' digital skills. The results showed constraints such as limited infrastructure and teachers' professional development needs as the main barriers. However, the integration of digital citizenship has the potential to increase students' understanding and participation in civic practices, both locally and globally. The study recommends adaptive policies and increased investment in teacher training and technological infrastructure, so that civic education can more effectively face the challenges of the digital age. This research underscores the importance of innovative approaches in education to prepare students for a changing society.
