Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is a period of significant physiological, social, and emotional transformation, often accompanied by a variety of symptoms, among which back pain is a prevalent complaint. Common intervention for alleviating back pain in pregnant women include light physical activity, such as prenatal yoga or pregnancy specific exercises regiments. This study seeks to elevate the efficacy of prenatal yoga in mitigating back pain during the third trimester of pregnancy.Method: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design employing a non-equivalent control group approach to investigate the impact of prenatal yoga on back pain levels in pregnant women. Participants were 60 women in their third trimester, with 30 assigned to the intervention group (prenatal yoga) and 30 to the control group (pregnancy exercises). Back pain was assessed in both groups using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire.Result: Both the prenatal yoga and pregnancy exercise groups experienced a reduction in back pain. However, prenatal yoga proved significantly more effective than pregnancy exercises (p < 0.05). Midwives are ideally suited to offer guidance during pregnancy classes to address back pain.

Abstract

Background: The Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) concept encourages life choices and adopting behaviors that prioritize both environmental sustainability and personal well-being. Lifestyle shifts and food consumption patterns are significant factors that often hinder the pursuit of a healthy and sustainable way of living. The purpose of this research is to explore the concept of LOHAS and its role in addressing the fundamental health needs of agricultural communities.Method: This study employs a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 138 fish cage farmers was selected. Primary data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and direct observations, focusing on aspects such as physical fitness, mental and emotional health, spiritual well-being, environmental awareness, and social responsibility. The data were analyzed descriptively.Result: The majority of fish cage farmers are males over the age of 50 years old. Aging farmers face physical and health challenges that can impact their productivity and long-term sustainability. Optimal physical health in agricultural communities can be supported through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Moreover, mental and emotional well-being can be enhanced through stress-relief activities, meditation, and fostering positive relationships. Adopting a holistic health approach enables communities to address physical, mental, emotional, and environmental aspects in alignment with the LOHAS framework.

Abstract

Background: Many studies have examined the impact of empowerment on maternal health outcomes, yet few have addressed the specific contexts through which empowerment influences health outcomes. This study aimed to explore the contexts in which empowerment affects maternal health status.Method: This literature review used studies from PubMed and Semantic Scholar databases. Articles were included if published within the last five years and provided free full-text access. Exclusion criteria included studies deemed irrelevant. All included articles were thoroughly reviewed. A total of 13 articles were identified and reviewed.Result: The findings revealed that women's empowerment influences maternal health through various pathways. Financial empowerment, including control over household expenditures and access to income, along with social empowerment—characterized by mobility, decision-making autonomy, access to communication tools, and rejection of spousal violence—was associated with increased antenatal care (ANC) visits, greater utilization of skilled birth attendants (SBAs), and a higher likelihood of delivering in healthcare facilities. In turn, it impacts maternal health status, as they are associated with reduced risk of complications. Furthermore, cultural and structural barriers, such as patriarchal norms and gender-based restrictions, were identified as challenges to empowerment.

Abstract

Background: The HIV epidemic in Indonesia is still a major health problem, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM). The high prevalence of HIV in MSM is influenced by fear of stigma, discrimination, or negative consequences. Self-disclosure is an important aspect of efforts to prevent HIV and AIDS, but there are still MSM who experience obstacles related to self-disclosure.Method: This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. The main informants consisted of 10 MSM domiciled in the Jember Regency, selected using the snowball technique. Source triangulation was carried out by involving HIV and AIDS NGO companions, peers, partners, and health workers. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, while data analysis used the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method.Result: The results of the study showed that self-disclosure in MSM was influenced by several main factors, namely motivation, intensity, accuracy of feedback, time, and depth and breadth of information shared. The majority of informants felt comfortable opening up to peers and MSM friends compared to family or health workers. Negative feedback from the social environment tended to inhibit openness, while positive support could increase motivation to share information. This study emphasizes the importance of a supportive environment, especially in health services, to increase openness in HIV and AIDS prevention efforts. A supportive environment, especially in health services, is essential to increase openness in HIV and AIDS prevention efforts. The suggestion given is to conduct health promotion to increase self-disclosure of MSM in preventing HIV and AIDS, which can be done through education, social support, and increasing access to health services

Abstract

Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective strategy for preventing HIV, especially among high-risk groups such as injecting drug users, transgender individuals, sex workers, and men who have sex with men (MSM). In Indonesia, where HIV continues to pose a significant public health challenge, PrEP has the potential to decrease new infections. However, knowledge about PrEP among its users is limited. This study aims to investigate the relationship between users’ knowledge, attitudes, and adherence to PrEP, as well as their satisfaction with services, to design targeted interventions that address misconceptions, reduce stigma, and encourage long-term PrEP use. By offering insights into the experiences of PrEP users, the research seeks to improve PrEP accessibility, acceptability, and effectiveness, contributing to global efforts to end the HIV epidemic.Method: 200 registered PrEP clients in Puskesmas Andalas participated in this cross-sectional study. Structured questionnaires covering demographics, PrEP utilization, attitudes toward PrEP, and knowledge about PrEP were employed to gather data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-squared testing, considering p<0.05 as statistically significant.Result: The study results show that 56.5% of participants knew enough about PrEP, while 58.5% held favorable opinions about using it. However, attitudes (p=0.135) and knowledge (p=0.062) showed no discernible effects on PrEP use. The findings suggest that PrEP uptake may be more significantly influenced by factors such as accessibility, pricing, and social stigma, even though education and positive attitudes remain crucial. The study concludes that increasing PrEP utilization among high-risk populations requires comprehensive strategies that tackle these barriers.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension remains a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, and kidney failure, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to healthcare is often limited. This study explores the impact of lifestyle habits and environmental factors on the risk of hypertension in rural ethnic minority populations.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,500 participants from the rural area of Tarai Bangun village in Kampar Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia, focusing on lifestyle habits such as eating habits, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and environmental conditions like air quality, pedestrian convenience, and access to health. This study used stratified random sampling, bivariate test analysis, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. This study aimed to determine the impact of lifestyle habits and environmental factors on hypertension in rural communities.Result: The prevalence of hypertension in this population was 45.6%, with rural areas having a higher incidence of systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH) than urban populations, who had a higher prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Major lifestyle factors such as smoking (39.7%), alcohol consumption (45.6%), and high sodium intake, all had a substantial association with hypertension in both urban and rural settings. Environmental factors such as poor pedestrian convenience and limited access to healthcare were found to contribute to a higher prevalence of hypertension among rural populations. In contrast, better air quality and access to green space were associated with lower rates of hypertension in urban settings. Socio-economic factors, especially lower income and education levels, are also associated with an increased risk of hypertension. The study highlights the importance of tailored public health interventions in rural ethnic minority populations, with a focus on reducing risky behaviors such as smoking and alcohol consumption, improving eating habits, and increasing access to health care. In addition, urban and environmental planning policies that encourage physical activity and improve air quality can considerably lower the risk of hypertension in urban populations. These findings underscore the importance of addressing lifestyle and environmental factors when managing hypertension in underserved rural communities.
