Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare systems are under increasing strain owing to the rapid growth of the global aging population, underscoring the urgent need for environments that support healthy aging. Green open spaces (GOS) are increasingly recognized as vital infrastructure capable of mitigating age-related functional decline.Methods: This scoping review systematically synthesized evidence on the impact of green open spaces (GOS) in promoting physical activity (PA) and supporting functional rehabilitation among older adults. Guided by the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework, a structured search was conducted across the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Of the records initially identified, ten articles published between 2015 and 2025 were included in the final synthesis.Results: The findings indicate that green open spaces (GOS) support four primary dimensions of rehabilitation: physical (38%), psychological (31%), social (25%), and spiritual (6%). Furthermore, the influence of GOS design on physical activity (PA) can be categorized into gentle, simple movements (40%), moderate-intensity exercises (30%), and nature-integrated therapeutic activities (30%).Conclusion: Optimizing the benefits of green open spaces (GOS) for older adults requires attention to modifiable design features, universal accessibility (e.g., even terrain and adequate seating), and adaptation to local climatic and social contexts.

Abstract

Introduction: Asthenopia, or eye strain, is a prevalent issue among batik artisans in Klaten Regency, Indonesia, due to the visually demanding nature of their work and potentially suboptimal working conditions.Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the influence of physical environmental factors, specifically lighting intensity, temperature, and humidity, on the occurrence of asthenopia symptoms among 155 female batik artisans. Data were collected through interviews using the Visual Fatigue Index questionnaire and environmental measurements.Results: Most participants (65.8%) experienced asthenopia symptoms, with an average score of 0.47 (SD ±0.15). The most common symptoms included watery eyes, stinging sensations, gritty feelings, difficulty focusing, and heavy sensations in the eyes. Spearman's rank correlation revealed a statistically significant association between ambient temperature and asthenopia complaints (p = 0.009), while no significant correlations were found for lighting intensity (p = 0.799) and humidity (p = 0.742). The average workplace temperature was 28.61°C (SD ±1.04), exceeding the recommended comfort range of 23–26°C. Although 81.9% of participants worked under lighting levels below the recommended 300 lx, this factor was not significantly associated with asthenopia.Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of improving thermal comfort in traditional batik workplaces to reduce visual strain among artisans. Further research employing longitudinal and objective methodologies is recommended to better understand the complex interplay between environmental and individual factors contributing to asthenopia in this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Primary healthcare plays a central role in Indonesia’s National Health Insurance system in managing population health needs. Understanding morbidity patterns and their relationship with insurance membership categories is essential for service planning and financial sustainability. This study aimed to analyze disease claim patterns at non-capitation primary healthcare facilities and their association with insurance membership types between 2015 and 2023.Methods: A quantitative analytic study using secondary administrative claims data from primary healthcare facilities under the National Health Insurance scheme. The dataset consisted of 201,297 non-capitation service records collected between 2015 and 2023. Variables included diagnosis codes, insurance membership type, sex, and facility characteristics. Data using frequency distribution and chi-square tests to assess the association between insurance membership categories and disease claims.Results: The most frequently reported diagnoses across all membership categories are non-communicable diseases particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension. Maternal and reproductive health conditions also rank among the top diagnoses especially among government-subsidized participants. A statistically significant association between insurance membership type and morbidity pattern (p < 0.001). The strength of the association is weak.Conclusion: Morbidity patterns in primary healthcare reflect a dual burden of chronic and maternal conditions and vary across insurance membership categories. These findings highlight the need for membership-based intervention strategies and strengthened chronic disease management to ensure sustainability within the National Health Insurance system.

Abstract

Introduction: Tidal flooding is a major coastal hazard in North Surabaya that can disrupt health services. Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) are crucial for maintaining essential care during disasters. However, little attention has been given to how prepared inpatient Community Health Centers are for tidal flooding. This study assessed the preparedness of Community Health Centers (CHCs) in northern Surabaya for tidal flooding using the Hospital Safety Index (HSI).Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach. Primary data were collected using the Hospital Safety Index (HSI) questionnaire, which assessed four main aspects: hazard, structural, non-structural, and functional, at each community health center included in the study.Results: The Hospital Safety Index assessment showed that Sememi Community Health Center received a score of 0.88 (Category A), indicating the center’s ability to remain operational during a disaster. The Krembangan Selatan Community Health Center (0.64) and Bulak Banteng Community Health Center (0.52) were classified as Category B, indicating the need to improve preparedness through short-term interventions, particularly in functional aspects.Conclusion: This study found that preparedness for tidal flooding among inpatients at Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) on the northern coast of Surabaya City varied across facilities. Sememi Puskesmas was classified as Category A, while Krembangan Selatan and Bulak Banteng Puskesmas were classified as Category B, indicating the need for short-term interventions. Functional preparedness was the weakest component and should therefore be prioritized. Strengthening functional preparedness can help Community Health Centers maintain essential health services during tidal flooding and other emergencies.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypercholesterolemia and central obesity are major modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Underdiagnosis and low awareness persist regarding these conditions, even among populations with presumed high health literacy, such as staff at medical education institutions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and central obesity in staff at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret (FK UNS), and assess the level of individual awareness regarding these conditions.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from Posbindu (Integrated Development Post for Non-Communicable Diseases) activities in August 2024, April 2025, and May 2025. A total of 293 participants underwent anthropometric and cholesterol screening. Waist circumference defined central obesity, and capillary blood tests measured cholesterol levels. Questionnaires are used to capture dietary habits, cholesterol history and awareness. Descriptive statistics were used, along with a Pearson’s chi-square test, to assess associations. Results: The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 52%, with higher rates observed among females (72%) compared to males (28%). Central obesity was present in 46% of participants, more frequent in females (52%) than males (44%). Only 22% were aware of their cholesterol status prior to screening. A significant association was found between awareness and cholesterol status (p-value = 0.016).Conclusion: High prevalence rates of hypercholesterolemia and central obesity, combined with low awareness, highlight a critical gap between health literacy and preventive action within staff medical education institutions. Strengthening institutional health programs with integrated and behavior-focused health interventions may enhance risk awareness and promote healthier lifestyles.

Abstract

Introduction: Clinical handover refers to the transfer of responsibility for patient care from one provider or team to another through the exchange of essential information. Assessments of its implementation and evaluation have highlighted several shortcomings in the program. This study examined how healthcare teams conduct clinical handovers in three referral maternity hospitals in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from August to November 2023 among healthcare workers in the maternity wards of three tertiary hospitals: Yalgado Ouedraogo, Tengandogo, and Bogodogo University Hospitals. Exhaustive sampling with consecutive recruitments was performed. Data were collected using an interviewer-adminstered questionnaire. Epi Info version 7.1.6 was used for data analysis. Variables were described using the mean and proportion.Results: Overall, 53.31% of the eligible healthcare workers participated in the study. The mean age was 41±6 years, and length of professional experience was 12.9±4.3 years. Midwifery staff accounted for 81.06% of the participants. Written communication is the most common method of information exchange between healthcare professionals. However, the quality of the written information was inadequate in more than half of the cases, creating potential risks for patient safety. Team functioning during clinical handover was suboptimal, characterized by limited interaction between teams and informal overlapping handover periods, with 49.70% of scheduled overlaps not being respected.Conclusion: The functioning of care teams during shift changes showed several deficiencies related to team dynamics, composition, and activities. The development and implementation of standardized procedures are needed to improve clinical communication between healthcare professionals in referral maternity units.

Abstract

Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease, and one of the risk factors is the low level of community prevention behavior. TB prevention efforts are important in community groups in high-risk places, such as Islamic boarding schools, which have characteristics of dense occupancy and intense interaction among students. This study aims to identify the determinants of TB prevention behavior among students.Methods: The quantitative study type with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling procedure used proportional stratification and obtained 81 students from Al-Ikhsan Beji Islamic Boarding School. Data were collected using a questionnaire through interviews. Data analysis was done through Chi-square tests and Logistic regressions. Results: The TB prevention behavior of most respondents is in a poor category (51.9%). The bivariate analysis revealed that knowledge (p=0.026), perceived benefits (p=0.005), and perceived barriers (p=0.013) were related to TB prevention behavior. The multivariate analysis indicated that knowledge (p=0.049), perceived benefits (p=0.018), and perceived barriers (p=0.043) were significantly associated with TB prevention behavior. Knowledge becomes the strongest factor, with the Odds ratio (OR) of 3.615, indicating that respondents with low knowledge were 3.615 times more likely to fail in adopting TB prevention behavior.Conclusion: Perceived vulnerability, perceived seriousness, and cues to action did not determine the TB prevention behavior of students. Increasing educational messages on TB prevention, collaboration between community health centers, Islamic boarding school caregivers, and the Islamic boarding school health post need to be carried out.

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is a major global public health concern that contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality. Environmental factors, including inadequate sanitation infrastructure and poor hygiene practices, have been associated with diarrhea. This study aimed to analyze the associations between environmental and sociodemographic factors and diarrhea occurrence in East Kalimantan Province.Methods: This cross-sectional study used secondary data from 15,854 respondents in the East Kalimantan subset of 2023 SKI. The variables included gender, age, education, drinking water sources, water quality and treatment, storage containers, raw water sources, wastewater disposal, waste management, sanitation access, and hygiene practices. Data were analyzed using chi-square and multivariable binary logistic regressions. Survey weights, strata, and primary sampling units were incorporated to account for the complex sampling designs.Results: The weighted prevalence of diarrhea was 2.1%. Bivariate analysis showed associations between diarrhea occurrence and age group, education, drinking water source, physical quality of drinking water, raw water source, waste management, and sanitation hygiene (p<0.05). The higher-risk age group (<5 and >70 years) was associated with higher odds of diarrhea than the lower-risk age group (aged 5–70 years) (AOR=2.933; 95% CI: 2.105–4.098; P <0.001). Unmet physical quality standards drinking water was also associated with higher odds of diarrhea (AOR=2.078; 95% CI: 1.254–3.443; p=0.005).Conclusion: Higher-risk age groups and drinking water that unmet physical quality standards drinking water were associated with diarrhea. Efforts to improve water quality and provide greater protection for vulnerable age groups may contribute to broader diarrheal prevention strategies in East Kalimantan Province.
