Abstract

This research aims to conduct a systematic review of global health preparations in facing future pandemics. By following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method, relevant articles were collected from international databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. The review results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the lack of global health preparedness and emphasized the importance of comprehensive preparedness planning, effective early detection systems, and adequate resource allocation. The implications of this research are the importance of increasing international cooperation, investment in research and development, and improving health infrastructure and resources to strengthen global health preparedness in the future.

Abstract

Health behavior and promotion are key factors in reducing morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age, which remains a significant challenge worldwide. Factors such as stunting, malnutrition, acute respiratory infections (ARI), diarrhea, and pneumonia contribute to this problem. This study aims to explore the role of parental involvement in community-based health promotion programs in reducing morbidity and mortality in children under five years. The method used is a systematic literature review with the PRISMA approach, identifying and analyzing articles from reputable international databases. Findings show that parental involvement can significantly increase the effectiveness of health programs, with a positive impact on reducing child morbidity and mortality rates. The implications of this research emphasize the need for policies that support community-based prevention programs, integration of health strategies with parental involvement, and increased awareness of the role of parents in children's health.

Abstract

This research explores the role of local wisdom in reducing morbidity and mortality among children under five through health promotion strategies using a systematic literature review approach. Local wisdom, which includes knowledge, practices and traditions passed down from generation to generation, has been proven to have a significant contribution in increasing the effectiveness of health interventions by adapting health programs to the community's cultural context. This study analyzes how local wisdom is applied in various health promotion strategies, including community empowerment, social support, and advocacy. The findings show that the integration of local wisdom in health programs can increase community acceptance and participation, and has the potential to reduce infant mortality and morbidity rates. However, this study also identified limitations in the existing literature, including variability in study quality and data limitations. Recommendations for policy and practice include developing local wisdom-based programs, training health workers, partnerships with community leaders, and ongoing evaluation. This research makes an important contribution to understanding how local wisdom-based approaches can be integrated to achieve better health outcomes.

Abstract

Culturally adapted health education plays a crucial role in reducing child mortality in vulnerable communities with diverse cultural backgrounds. This article conducts a systematic review of existing literature to evaluate the effectiveness of health education models adapted to local cultural contexts. Through a systematic literature review approach, this research identifies and synthesizes scientific evidence regarding the impact of cultural adaptation models on child health outcomes. Key findings show that interventions that take into account community-specific cultural values ​​and practices have a significant positive impact on reducing child mortality. However, the effectiveness of this model is highly dependent on the extent to which cultural elements are integrated in health education strategies and implementation contexts. This article provides practical implications for policy makers, health practitioners, and researchers, and identifies research gaps that need further exploration. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies, broader context-based research, and integration of qualitative methods to increase understanding of cultural adaptation in health education.
