Abstract

Background: The Final Project (FP) is a mandatory course for medical education students, typically undertaken in the sixth semester. It is divided into two stages: Final Project 1 (FP1) and Final Project 2 (FP2). In FP1, students develop, document, and present a research proposal, while in FP2, they execute the planned research, analyze the results, and present their findings. A decline in FP2 completion rates was observed in 2024, raising concerns about factors affecting student performance. Methods: A descriptive analysis methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys (n=91) and qualitative interviews. The survey, with 10 questions on a 4-point Likert scale, assessed factors affecting FP2 completion. Semi-structured interviews and written responses explored deeper insights, with thematic analysis identifying key barriers. Results: Survey results revealed moderate motivation (mean=2.77) and high procrastination (mean=3.01). Time management (mean=2.86) and personal issues (mean=2.35) were significant challenges. The main delays were lack of motivation (36.26%) and time management issues (27.47%). Themes from interviews included motivation, time management, supervisor support, data access, and mental health. Conclusions: Students face key challenges in completing the FP2 course, particularly low motivation, poor time management, and limited supervisor interaction. Addressing these issues through enhanced intrinsic motivation, effective feedback, and structured time management can foster more successful and high-effort student profiles.

Abstract

Background: Medical students face high academic demands, which often lead to irregular eating patterns and a lack of physical activity, which can have a negative influence on their nutritional status and overall well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the dietary intake and physical activity levels among medical students at Universitas Pelita Harapan, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 70 undergraduate medical students. Demographic data and physical activity levels (assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, IPAQ) were collected. Dietary intake was evaluated using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), and nutrient intakes were analyzed and compared with the Indonesian Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for women aged 19–29 years. Data analysis included descriptive statistics for continuous and categorical variables. Results: There were 70 participants, with a mean age was 20.73 ± 0.81 years; the majority were female (n = 62). Physical activity levels were distributed as 35.7% low, 38.6% moderate, and 25.7% high. Mean daily energy intake (1677.58 kcal) was below the RDA, as were intakes of fat, carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, sodium, potassium, and vitamin A. Intakes of protein, phosphorus, iron, vitamin C, riboflavin, and niacin were above RDA recommendations. Conclusions: Medical students at Universitas Pelita Harapan were found to have suboptimal dietary intake, particularly with regard to energy, fiber, and several micronutrients, as well as varying levels of physical activity. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to promote balanced nutrition and regular physical activity in this population.

Abstract

ound: HIV continues to be a major public health concern worldwide, and comprehensive understanding has shown that HIV knowledge enhances effective prevention behaviors and helps prevent the transmission of the disease. Previous research conducted indicated that higher levels of knowledge were associated with more positive attitudes toward HIV prevention, specifically, 58.7% demonstrated good knowledge and 70.7% engaged in preventive actions. Health science students are a key group for HIV education, as they are future healthcare providers. However, limited research has been done among health science students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 295 health science students consisting of 193 medical and 102 non-medical students. Participants completed two questionnaires, i.e., HIV knowledge with 24 true/false items and HIV prevention attitudes with 23 items on a Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression, were used to analyze the data. Results: Of the respondents, 43.4% demonstrated good HIV knowledge, while 56.6% had poor knowledge. Regarding prevention attitudes, 59.7% exhibited favorable attitudes, while 40.3% had unfavorable attitudes. A significant positive association was found between HIV knowledge and prevention attitudes (p < 0.001, OR: 2.525, 95% CI: 1.546–4.123). Gender differences were noted, with females displaying more favorable attitudes (p < 0.001, OR: 2.551, 95% CI: 1.487–4.379). Medical students showed less favorable attitudes toward HIV prevention compared to non-medical students (p = 0.042, OR: 1.681, 95% CI: 1.017–2.778). Conclusions: This study highlights the influence of HIV knowledge, gender, and faculty on HIV prevention attitudes among health science students, with females and non-medical students showing more engagement in prevention efforts. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive HIV education in university curricula to enhance both knowledge and preventive behaviors.
