Abstract

Introduction: The growing popularity of social media has positioned influencers as important agents in shaping adolescents’ attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions toward reproductive health topics. Adolescence is a critical developmental period when understanding and confidence regarding reproductive issues are often limited. This study aimed to analyze the influence of exposure to influencer-generated content on adolescents’ positive emotions and self-confidence in the context of reproductive health education. Methods: A quantitative quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 100 students, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Data collection instruments included the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) to assess positive emotions and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to measure self-confidence. The intervention group received reproductive health education through influencer-created social media content, while the control group did not receive any exposure. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test and the Independent T-Test. Results: The findings showed significant improvements in the intervention group across all variables: reproductive health knowledge (p=0.000), self-confidence (p=0.000), and positive emotions (p=0.000). In contrast, the control group exhibited no significant changes, indicating that influencer-based education effectively enhanced adolescents' cognitive and psychological aspects. Conclusion: Exposure to accurate, empathetic, relatable influencer content significantly improved adolescents’ emotional engagement and confidence. Therefore, collaboration among health educators, professionals, and social media influencers is recommended to develop credible, appealing, and youth-centered digital reproductive health communication strategies.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that requires comprehensive management and active participation from patients to prevent complications and improve quality of life. One of the most critical aspects of diabetes management is self-care, which encompasses diet regulation, regular physical activity, medication adherence, blood glucose monitoring, and stress management. However, patients’ perception of the disease and the length of time they have been suffering from it often influence their ability to implement effective self-care practices. This community service program aimed to provide self-care management education for patients with diabetes mellitus, tailored to their perception of the disease and the duration of their illness. The method used involved structured educational sessions, interactive discussions, and practical demonstrations tailored to patients’ levels of understanding and experiences in managing diabetes. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted to evaluate changes in knowledge, attitudes, and perceived self-efficacy. The results indicated that patients with longer disease duration generally demonstrated higher awareness but also faced challenges in maintaining long-term self-care consistency. Meanwhile, newly diagnosed patients often underestimate the seriousness of diabetes, which affects their adherence to lifestyle modifications. The program successfully enhanced patients’ knowledge and motivated them to engage in sustainable self-care practices. Community-based education that considers disease perception and the length of suffering is therefore an effective strategy for empowering patients with diabetes mellitus to manage their health. This approach is expected to reduce complications, enhance overall well-being, and support public health initiatives in the management of chronic diseases

Abstract

Introduction: The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed health information systems (HIS) worldwide. Health analysts, as key professionals in managing health data, play a crucial role in the integration and utilization of these digital tools. However, the extent, effectiveness, and challenges of this integration remain underexplored across different healthcare contexts. This systematic review aims to examine the integration of digital technology by health analysts within health information systems, focusing on the types of technologies adopted, the roles played by health analysts, the benefits gained, and the challenges encountered during implementation. Methods: Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we conducted a systematic search of peer-reviewed articles published between 2013 and 2025 from databases including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Keywords used included “health analyst”, “digital technology”, “health information system”, and “integration”. Eligible studies included primary research involving health analysts and the application of digital health technologies. Results: From an initial pool of 1,274 articles, 28 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that health analysts have been instrumental in integrating technologies such as Electronic Health Records (EHR), Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), data analytics platforms, and mobile health applications. The integration has led to improved data accuracy, faster reporting, and enhanced decision-making support. Nonetheless, several challenges were identified, including lack of digital training, infrastructure limitations, and regulatory gaps. Conclusions: The integration of digital technologies by health analysts significantly enhances the performance of health information systems. However, successful adoption requires continuous professional development, supportive policies, and robust digital infrastructure. Future efforts should focus on strengthening the digital competencies of health analysts and aligning technology integration with national health strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Febrile illness is a common clinical condition in children, often caused by viral or bacterial infections, and if not properly managed, can lead to serious complications such as seizures, dehydration, and altered consciousness. While pharmacological treatments like antipyretics are commonly used, non-pharmacological approaches like warm water compresses can be safe and effective alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of warm water compresses in reducing body temperature in febrile children. Methods: This descriptive case study involved two pediatric patients aged 1 and 3 years diagnosed with febris. Each child received warm water compress treatment twice daily for three consecutive days. The compress was applied to specific areas (forehead, armpits, and groin) for 15–20 minutes using a towel soaked in 37–40°C water. Body temperature was measured with a digital thermometer before and after each intervention session. Observations also included behavioral responses and parent interviews to assess comfort and satisfaction. Results: The intervention demonstrated a significant decrease in body temperature among both patients. On average, there was a temperature reduction of 0.4°C to 1.0°C after each session, with a consistent downward trend over three days. Both children exhibited improved comfort and less irritability, and parents expressed satisfaction with the method as a supportive home care technique. Conclusion: Warm water compresses are effective as a non-pharmacological intervention in lowering febrile temperature in children. The method is safe, simple, and well-accepted, making it a viable option in clinical and home settings. Healthcare providers and parents are encouraged to utilize warm compresses to respond to febrile episodes, reducing over-reliance on medications and promoting safe, supportive care practices for children

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension remains a major public health problem globally, particularly among pre-elderly adults (aged 45–59 years), who are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Both genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, play crucial roles in determining hypertension risk. Understanding how family history interacts with physical activity can provide valuable insights for prevention strategies among this population. Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association between family history of hypertension and physical activity with the prevalence of hypertension in pre-elderly adults. A total of 240 respondents aged 45–59 years were selected using stratified random sampling from community health centers. Data on blood pressure were collected through standardized sphygmomanometer measurements. Family history was determined based on self-reported parental or sibling hypertension. Physical activity level was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and categorized as low, moderate, or high. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The prevalence of hypertension among respondents was 37.5%. A significant association was found between family history and hypertension (p < 0.001), with individuals having a positive family history showing 3.2 times higher odds of hypertension (AOR = 3.24; 95% CI: 1.85–5.68). Physical activity also demonstrated a significant inverse association (p = 0.002), where participants with high activity levels had a 56% lower risk of hypertension compared to those with low activity (AOR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.25–0.78). Interaction analysis indicated that physically active individuals with a family history still had a reduced risk compared to inactive counterparts. Conclusion: Family history of hypertension and physical activity were significantly associated with hypertension among pre-elderly adults. A positive family history increases the risk, while regular physical activity offers a protective effect. Health promotion programs targeting lifestyle modification and routine blood pressure screening are recommended to prevent early onset of hypertension in this age group.

Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare inequities remain common in rural communities despite national health financing programs designed to achieve universal health coverage. Geographic barriers, limited healthcare services, and administrative challenges continue to affect healthcare accessibility. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in rural districts of Eastern Indonesia from January to April 2026 involving 348 respondents selected through multistage cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression with adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: More than half of respondents (56.9%) experienced healthcare access difficulties despite active insurance enrollment. Limited healthcare service availability was the strongest predictor of healthcare barriers (AOR = 3.46; 95% CI: 2.01–5.95; p < 0.001). Geographic distance, low income, transportation problems, and administrative complexity were also significantly associated with healthcare inequities. Conclusion: National health financing policies have improved financial coverage but remain insufficient to eliminate rural healthcare disparities. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure, transportation systems, and governance mechanisms is necessary to improve equitable healthcare access.
