Abstract

Adolescents are a group vulnurable to HIV transmission due to limited knowledge and strong social influences. Adolescents’ perceptions of  HIV prevention are greatly influenced by internal and external factors, including spiritual support and communication with parents. Spiritual support can strengthen moral values and self-responsibility, while parental communication plays a role in providing accurate information and guidance. This study aims to spiritual support and parental communication on adolescents’ perception of HIV prevention. This study used a cross-sectional design with a total sampling of 31 adolescent respondent. Data collection was conducted using a Likerts scale questionnaire to assess spiritual support, parental communication, and perceptions of HIV prevention. Data analysis was perfomed using multiple linear regression tests with a significance level of <0.05. The analysis results showed that spiritual support had no significant effect on perceptions of HIV prevention (p = 0.969), not did parental communication (p = 0.469). Simultaneous testing showed that both variables together did not significantly influence perceptions of HIV prevention. Spiritual support and parental communication did not significantly influence adolescents' perceptions of HIV prevention. HIV prevention efforts need to consider a spiritual approach and strengthen family communication to shape healthy perceptions and behaviors in adolescents.

Abstract

Maternal mental health from pregnancy to the postpartum period represents a major public health concern with substantial implications for maternal well-being and early child development. Physiological and psychological changes during pregnancy increase vulnerability to anxiety, stress, and depression, particularly in settings with limited access to mental health services. Pregnancy dance has emerged as a non-pharmacological, mind–body intervention that may support maternal psychological well-being. Objective to examine the effect of pregnancy dance on maternal mental health from pregnancy through the postpartum period. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was applied. The study involved 32 pregnant women in the second and third trimesters who participated in a structured pregnancy dance programme conducted 2–3 times per week during pregnancy. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Mental health outcomes were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) at three time points: before the intervention, after the antenatal intervention, and during the postpartum period. Statistical analyses were performed according to data distribution, with a significance level of α = 0.05. Significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress scores were observed following the pregnancy dance intervention (p < 0.001). Improvements in mental health were sustained into the postpartum period, with most participants classified as having a low risk of mental health disorders. The greatest reduction was observed in stress scores, followed by anxiety and depression. Pregnancy dance is an effective intervention for improving maternal mental health from pregnancy to the postpartum period. This approach offers a safe, low-cost, and feasible promotive and preventive strategy for integration into comprehensive antenatal care, particularly in areas with limited access to mental health services.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence and requires long-term adherence to therapy to prevent complications. Treatment adherence in diabetes patients remains a challenge, influenced in part by the patient's level of knowledge about the disease and its treatment. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and adherence to medication therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Harapan Community Health Center, Jayapura Regency. This study used a non-experimental quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 50 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients selected using a total sampling technique. The research instruments used were the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire-24 (DKQ-24) to measure the level of knowledge and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) to measure medication adherence. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05 . The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (54%) and a moderate level of medication adherence (48%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and adherence to medication therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (p = 0.000). Respondents with a high level of knowledge tended to have better medication adherence.
