Abstract

Inadequate community competence in managing environmental health remains a pressing issue across many regions, including Indonesia. This challenge underscores the critical need for comprehensive insights into how health education can play a pivotal role in empowering communities. This research delves into an in-depth systematic literature review, aiming to dissect and assess diverse strategies employed in health education programs to boost the efficiency of environmental health management initiatives. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study adheres to the framework provided by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The process encompasses key phases: defining precise research inquiries, determining rigorous inclusion and exclusion parameters, and executing an extensive literature search through prominent academic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. The search leveraged specific keywords, including "Community Health Education," "Competency in Environmental Health Management," and "Impactful Health Education Programs." From an initial pool of 239 publications, only 25 articles satisfied the stringent screening criteria. The consolidated findings reveal that health education models that are systematically designed, foster active community involvement, and are tailored to local needs significantly enhance public awareness, shape positive attitudes, and develop practical skills for environmental health management. These insights offer actionable strategies to refine and strengthen health education programs across diverse settings.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes has developed into a global epidemic with a significant increase in prevalence, both in the world and in Indonesia. This disease not only impacts quality of life, but also places a large economic burden on the health care system. Although most diabetes interventions still focus on pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological approaches such as nutritional interventions and increased physical activity have been shown to be effective in lowering blood glucose levels, increasing insulin sensitivity, and improving patients' metabolic profiles. However, the effectiveness of these interventions is highly dependent on patient compliance. Compliance with these interventions is influenced by psychological, socioeconomic, and health literacy factors. Intrinsic motivation and positive perceptions of the disease can increase patient commitment, while stress, depression, and limited access to healthy food and sports facilities can hinder compliance. High health literacy affects patients' understanding of treatment and their readiness to make behavioral changes. Approaches based on education, social support, and the use of digital technology can strengthen diabetes management and improve patient compliance. Therefore, effective interventions require a more personalized, interdisciplinary approach that is oriented towards long-term behavioral change to achieve sustainable results.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia continues to increase along with changes in the lifestyle of urban communities who are less active and consume high-sugar and fat foods. Low awareness of early detection and minimal patient compliance with blood glucose monitoring are major challenges in managing this disease. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the subjective experiences of diabetes patients in using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology. The results of the study show that CGM is not only a real-time glucose monitoring tool, but also a trigger for behavioral transformation, self-empowerment, and increased patient compliance. However, structural challenges such as the high price of the device, the fact that CGM has not been guaranteed by BPJS, low digital literacy, and the gap in access between the upper and lower middle economic groups still hinder the widespread implementation of this technology. The adoption of CGM in Indonesia tends to be limited to certain groups, and has not become an integrated national strategy. Therefore, inclusive and data-based health policies, ongoing education, and financial support are needed to ensure equitable access. With a comprehensive systemic approach, CGM has the potential to revolutionize diabetes management towards a more preventive, personal, and sustainable paradigm in Indonesia..

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of health education in improving community competence in Environmental Health Management. This study uses a qualitative approach with the method of case studies conducted in several communities that have undergone environmental health education programs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with participants, health educators, and direct observation of activities carried out by the community. The results showed that health education plays a significant role in improving public understanding of the importance of environmental health, such as waste management, sanitation, and hygiene maintenance. This educational Program not only increases knowledge, but also influences changes in people's behavior in maintaining a healthy environment. In addition, public awareness of the importance of active participation in Environmental Health Management has also increased. This study confirms that proper health education can strengthen the competence of communities in managing environmental health, and suggests the need to implement sustainable programs based on local needs.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of social empowerment in inclusive health service practices in Medan City using a descriptive qualitative approach. The background of this study stems from structural inequalities in access to and quality of health services, which place marginalized communities as passive recipients of health programs. Although the rhetoric of participation and inclusivity is often emphasized in policy documents, field practice demonstrates the dominance of a top-down approach that fails to adequately consider local values, power relations, and the socio-cultural context of the community. Through in-depth observations and interviews in several sub-districts such as Medan Marelan, Belawan, and Tembung, this study uncovers the importance of transforming the role of cadres and communities as active subjects who independently manage the health agenda. Thematic analysis results indicate that the success of equitable and inclusive service delivery depends heavily on genuine community involvement throughout the program cycle and the recognition of local knowledge as social capital. Approaches such as Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) have proven relevant in building democratic and equitable health practices. This research emphasizes that health service must be a dialectical space that encourages social transformation, not simply an administrative instrument that reproduces inequality.
