Abstract

Background: Mental health literacy (MHL) is crucial for adolescents to recognize, manage, and prevent mental health issues. In Indonesia, increasing adolescent mental health challenges and limited culturally adapted MHL tools highlight the need for a validated Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) in Bahasa Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the MHLS for Indonesian adolescents to assess their mental health literacy accurately. Methods: The study followed a three-stage validation process: translation, cultural adaptation, and content validation with a sample of 435 adolescents. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess construct validity, and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for reliability. Results: The translated MHLS showed high content validity (CVI ≥ 0.87) and good construct validity with fit indices (RMSEA = 0.046, CFI = 0.956). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.907), indicating reliability. Conclusion: The Bahasa Indonesia version of MHLS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mental health literacy in Indonesian adolescents, supporting culturally relevant interventions.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents in Indonesia encounter a range of psychological and social challenges, including stress, anxiety, and academic pressures. However, cultural stigma and traditional beliefs often hinder their willingness to access mental health services. Reliable and culturally appropriate assessment tools are essential to evaluate adolescents’ readiness to seek counseling and to identify barriers that may prevent timely intervention. Objective: This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Seek Counseling Inventory (SCI) into Indonesian and to evaluate its psychometric properties, ensuring its suitability for use among Indonesian adolescents. Methods: A systematic cross-cultural adaptation process was conducted, involving forward translation, back-translation, expert panel review, and pretesting. Content validity was assessed by a panel of five experts using Aiken’s V, while construct validity was examined through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The study recruited 435 high school students aged 13–18 years through convenience sampling. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: The Indonesian version of the SCI demonstrated strong content validity, with Aiken’s V scores ranging from 0.80 to 1.00. CFA results indicated an acceptable model fit (TLI = 0.976, CFI = 0.947, RMSEA = 0.051), supporting the instrument’s structural validity. Internal consistency was good, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.822, indicating stable and coherent measurement of counseling attitudes. Conclusions: The Indonesian SCI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing counseling attitudes among adolescents. Its application can guide culturally sensitive mental health programs, enhance early identification of support needs, and contribute to reducing stigma toward counseling in Indonesia.

Abstract

Smartphone apps have been used to promote healthy eating and weight management, as they offer low costs, reduce burdens, and overcome the limitations of traditional in-person programs. The aim of this research is to determine the use of smartphones as a technology-based intervention on managing nutrition. The review method focuses on the relationship between smartphones and healthy diet and nutrition, analyzing 178 articles published up to 2023. The review identified three qualitative studies and five randomized controlled trials investigating the effectiveness and acceptability of smartphone apps for promoting healthy eating and weight management. The results show that a study on the effectiveness of smartphone applications in promoting healthy eating and weight management found that middle-aged men in Australia support using the Internet for improving dietary habits and physical activity, as long as the interventions are user-friendly and efficient . However, they show low commitment to online activities and reluctance to use regular mobile phones for health behavior modification. The study also found that smartphone apps can be effective in promoting healthy eating and weight loss, making them a potentially valuable and cost-effective tool for improving dietary habits, nutrition, and combating obesity. In conclusion, Smartphone applications could serve as an effective and affordable method for improving dietary habits and tackling obesity among the general public. Measurements of diet and nutrition taken through mobile devices are often accurate. The contribution of this research is to increase smartphone users' knowledge to help in monitoring their food consumption and managing their weight.

Abstract

Medication adherence is important for people with chronic renal failure (CRF) undergoing hemodialysis. Lowering blood pressure can reduce symptoms and improve the long-term health of hemodialysis patients.  Hypertension is more prevalent and more complex to control in patients with chronic kidney disease and can also be a cause or result of the condition. This study aimed to investigate the association between blood pressure and hemodialysis therapy adherence in patients with renal failure. This study employed a descriptive correlation method to examine patients with CRF who are currently undergoing hemodialysis therapy and have a history of hypertension. In this study, 31 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data on medication adherence were collected by questionnaire, while blood pressure readings were used to examine the prevalence of hypertension. The research location is the government hospital in Sukabumi, Indonesia. A chi-square statistical test was used for data analysis. The result showed a relationship between hemodialysis therapy compliance and the incidence of hypertension in patients with chronic renal failure who are undergoing hemodialysis therapy. In patients with chronic renal failure receiving hemodialysis, there is a significant positive correlation between blood pressure and treatment adherence. Research contributes that adherence to the prescribed hemodialysis regimen may play a crucial role in the management and prevention of hypertension in this patient population.
