Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia are among the major public health challenges in Indonesia. Health promotion and disease prevention efforts through medical check-ups and education are important strategies to increase public awareness and enable early detection of NCD risk factors. This community service program was conducted in Adatongeng Village, Turikale District, Maros Regency, involving 12 residents. The intervention consisted of three stages: anamnesis, vital signs examination including blood pressure, and blood sugar and uric acid level tests. Counseling was then provided on healthy lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the importance of routine medical check-ups. The results showed active community participation in both the examinations and educational sessions, as well as increased awareness of the importance of early detection and prevention of NCDs. This activity suggests that integrating medical check-ups and education is an effective strategy in health promotion and disease prevention efforts to improve community quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage that is vulnerable to mental health problems. Globally, about 14% of adolescents experience mental health issues, and in Indonesia, the prevalence reaches 34.9%. A study in Makassar City also revealed that 47.9% of adolescents aged 15–18 years suffer from mental health problems. Family factors, particularly father involvement in parenting, play an important role in maintaining adolescent mental health. Objective: To analyze the relationship between father involvement in parenting and adolescent mental health. Method: This quantitative study employed a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 78 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Makassar. Data were collected using questionnaires on father involvement and adolescent mental health, and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Result: Most respondents were female (65.4%) and aged 15 years (61.5%). Adolescent mental health levels were categorized as very good (26.9%), good (59%), and poor (14.1%). Father involvement was mostly at the moderate level (70.5%), followed by high (17.9%) and low (11.5%). The Chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant relationship between father involvement in parenting and adolescent mental health. Conclusion: Father involvement in parenting has a significant impact on adolescent mental health. Higher father involvement is associated with better adolescent mental well-being. Strengthening the role of fathers, both emotionally and physically, is essential to support adolescents’ psychological well-being.

Abstract

Background: The development of digital technology and increased internet access have led to a significant rise in social media use among university students. Excessive intensity of social media use, especially at night, can affect sleep patterns and sleep quality. Insufficient sleep duration and poor sleep quality may have negative impacts on concentration, academic achievement, as well as students’ physical and mental health. Objective: To determine the relationship between the intensity of social media use and sleep quality among students at Universitas Graha Edukasi Makassar. Methods: This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of active students selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through a social media usage intensity questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instrument to measure respondents’ sleep quality. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods with the chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Most respondents had a high intensity of social media use and poor sleep quality. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between the intensity of social media use and students’ sleep quality (p < 0.05). Students with high social media usage intensity tended to have poorer sleep quality compared to those with low to moderate levels of social media use.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, particularly in low-resource and geographically isolated areas such as Papua, Indonesia. Medication adherence among children and adolescents is crucial to achieving successful treatment outcomes and preventing drug resistance. However, adherence rates remain suboptimal due to various individual, familial, and healthcare-related factors. This study aimed to identify factors associated with medication adherence among children and adolescents with TB undergoing treatment at the Agats Public Health Center, Asmat Regency, South Papua.. Methods: A quantitative analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from November to December 2024. The study included all 35 pediatric and adolescent TB patients registered at the health center, using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through validated questionnaires measuring knowledge, attitude, family support, the role of healthcare workers, and medication adherence using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test at a 95% confidence level (p ≤ 0.05). Results: Most respondents had low knowledge (77.1%), negative attitudes (85.7%), and poor family support (77.1%), while the majority perceived the role of healthcare workers as good (82.9%). Significant associations were found between knowledge (p = 0.033), attitude (p = 0.000), and the role of healthcare workers (p = 0.000) with medication adherence. Family support was not significantly associated with adherence (p = 0.068). Conclusion: Knowledge, attitude, and the role of healthcare workers significantly influence medication adherence among children and adolescents with TB. Although family support was not statistically significant, it remains an important contextual factor. Strengthening community-based health education, enhancing healthcare worker engagement, and empowering families are recommended to improve treatment adherence and outcomes, particularly in remote settings such as South Papua.
