Abstract

Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) remain a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in rural areas where access to health information is limited. Despite various interventions, there is a lack of sustained and accessible educational strategies tailored to rural communities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of door-to-door education using poster-based media in increasing housewives’ knowledge about iodized salt consumption in Tokka Hamlet, Rumbia District, Jeneponto Regency. A pre-test and post-test study design was implemented, with three assessment points: before the intervention, immediately after, and six months post-intervention. A total of 30 participants received the educational intervention accompanied by visual poster materials. Knowledge scores were analyzed using the Friedman test to determine significant changes over time. Results revealed an initial increase in median knowledge scores from 47.00 (pre-test) to 86.00 (post-test I), followed by a decline to 57.00 at post-test II. The Friedman test showed a significant difference across time points (p = 0.000), indicating that the educational intervention had a short-term impact. However, the decline in scores suggests limited long-term retention, likely due to the absence of follow-up measures and restricted access to continuous information. These findings highlight the importance of sustained educational reinforcement and accessible communication channels for health interventions in rural populations.

Abstract

Mental health is an essential aspect of an individual's life that affects adaptability to stress, productivity and overall well-being. Improving mental health literacy is an important preventive strategy in dealing with psychological challenges, including promoting positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and help-seeking behavior. This study aims to identify educational and digital technology-based interventions and evaluate their effectiveness in improving mental health literacy. The method used was a traditional literature review of ten relevant scientific articles, obtained through a rigorous selection process from PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The initial search yielded 1,524 articles from PubMed and 201 from Google Scholar.  Articles were obtained using a combination of keywords such as “mental health promotion”, “intervention”, ‘adolescents’ and “mental health education”. The analysis showed that different forms of interventions, such as online trainings, mental health curricula, digital self-efficacy training, and audiovisual media, were effective in increasing understanding, positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and propensity to seek professional help. The success of interventions relies heavily on contextualized, interactive and active participation-based designs, as well as integration with social support. Therefore, the development of adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable intervention models is crucial in strengthening efforts to promote and prevent mental health problems.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health literacy remains a major challenge, and practical educational media that can improve both knowledge and attitudes are still needed; this study evaluates a pocketbook as an accessible school-based mental health promotion tool. This study aimed to analyze the effect of pocketbook-based education on high school students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding mental health. A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted from March to April 2026 at State Senior High School 12 Makassar and State Senior High School 13 Makassar. A total of 128 students were recruited using convenience sampling and divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received mental health education using a pocketbook, while the control group received lecture-based education. Both approaches improved students’ knowledge and attitudes; however, post-intervention comparisons using the Mann–Whitney test demonstrated significant differences between the two groups for both outcomes (p<0.001). The pocketbook offered practical advantages by presenting information in an engaging, portable, and reusable format that supports repeated learning. These findings indicate that pocketbook-based mental health education can complement conventional teaching and may be integrated into classroom learning, school health services, and adolescent health promotion programs.
