Abstract

People with HIV/AIDS not only need medication to reduce physical discomfort, but also need social support to overcome psychological anxiety and restlessness. Social support is critical in maintaining good physical and mental health. This study aims to analyze the social support status of women with HIV/AIDS and explore other factors that affect their quality of life in Kecamatan Patrang, Kabupaten Jember. The research method used was cross-sectional with convenience sampling and data collection through questionnaires with SSRS (Social Support Rating Scale) within three months from March to May 2025, with a sample of 92 women with HIV/AIDS. It is known that there is a significant relationship between emotional support (p = 0.01) and assessment support (p = 0.03), as well as other factors such as the duration of ARV therapy (p = 0.03), with the quality of life of women with HIV/AIDS. These findings are expected to provide a basis for interventions, including the formation of peer-support groups, counseling programs focused on strengthening self-esteem, and training for families and communities to provide appreciation and respect to women with HIV/AIDS, which ultimately improves their health and quality of life.

Abstract

This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study assessed the quality of Congenital Hypothyroidism Screening (CHS) implementation by Independent Midwives, a vital program for preventing intellectual developmental delay caused by congenital hypothyroidism (CH). The study involved 60 newborns at BPM Kustini, Lamongan (January-June 2025). Quality was evaluated across three critical points: timeliness of sample collection, quality of Dried Blood Spot (DBS) specimens, and speed of follow-up on results. The findings indicated that 66.67percent of samples were collected on time (48-72 hours), 75percent of DBS specimens were of good quality, and 83.33percent of follow-up results were conducted quickly (less than equals 10 days). Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed significant correlations between the timeliness of sampling and the quality of DBS specimens (p equal 0.002) and between specimen quality and the speed of follow-up results (p equal 0.003). Overall, the quality of CHS in independent midwifery practices was promising. Timeliness of sample collection was found to be key to producing high-quality DBS specimens, which, in turn, affected the speed of result follow-up. The study recommends improving midwives' technical competence and family education, and strengthening the referral system to reinforce CHS's success in community services.

Abstract

Introduction. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum and remains a global health problem with a significant increase in prevalence. Adolescents are vulnerable to syphilis because they lack sufficient sexual health information and services. This study aims to explore the role of cellular immune response in the pathogenesis of syphilis in adolescents and the factors that influence it. Methods. This research study adopted a systematic literature review methodology, sourcing data from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. Results. The results demonstrate a crucial involvement of macrophages, dendritic cells, and T lymphocytes in the cellular immune response against Treponema pallidum causes Syphilis. The immune response is principally influenced by variables such as age, nutritional status, and the presence of HIV infection. High infection rates are also attributable to factors such as risky sexual behaviour and socioeconomic conditions. Enhanced interventions, including comprehensive sexual health education and improved access to healthcare services, are crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of syphilis in adolescents. Conclusion. In conclusion, this research underscores the necessity of a deeper understanding of the immunopathogenic mechanisms of syphilis in adolescents to facilitate the development of more effective preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Purpose: Syphilis remains a global public health concern, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to determine the seroprevalence of syphilis and assess its association with sociodemographic factors among female blood donors of reproductive age in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study analysed secondary data from 186 female blood donors aged 15–49 years at the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in Surabaya. Syphilis status was categorized as reactive or non-reactive based on screening results. Sociodemographic variables included age, marital status, education, and occupation. Descriptive and chi-square bivariate analyses were conducted using JASP 0.95.4, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The seroprevalence of syphilis among female donors was 25.3%. Significant associations were found between syphilis status and marital status (p = 0.000), age category (p = 0.001), and education level (p = 0.013). Unmarried women, adolescents aged 15–24, and those with lower levels of education had the highest proportions of reactive results. While occupation was not statistically significant (p = 0.228), students and housewives showed the highest infection rates. Conclusion: The high seroprevalence of syphilis among female reproductive-age donors in Surabaya is significantly associated with specific sociodemographic factors. Strengthening STI prevention programs and routine donor screenings is essential to ensure blood safety and improve reproductive health outcomes.

Abstract

Maternal and neonatal morbidity remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly within the Pasean Community Health Center area in Pamekasan. Key contributing factors include limited community-based education, poor knowledge of nutrition and pregnancy danger signs, and suboptimal health cadre capacity. This community service initiative aims to enhance knowledge, empower cadres through proactive education, and reduce morbidity via early detection. The intervention involves the PELEM MANIS (Proactive Learning and Management for Mom and Kids) booklet. Activities were conducted using a hybrid model (online and face-to-face) encompassing lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. Program effectiveness was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge, while awareness was assessed via K6 maternal coverage. Results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge and awareness among pregnant women, parents, and health cadres regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and neonatal care. This improvement is evidenced by higher post-test scores. The innovative booklet proved effective and relevant in helping stakeholders identify and manage emergencies throughout the maternal and neonatal periods.
