Abstract

Background: Child stunting is a major public health problem and a key indicator of child well-being. Indonesia aims to reduce stunting prevalence to below 14% through behavior change communication and health promotion. Guided by the Health Belief Model, Social Cognitive Theory, and the Social Support Model, this study aimed to develop a health promotion model of maternal behavior for stunting prevention and control in Surakarta City. Subjects and Method: This study used cross-sectional research approach. The research location was Surakarta City, Central Java, Indonesia; conducted for 3 (three) months from June 2024 to August 2024. The target population of this study comprised mothers who were members of the Village-Level Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team (TPPS) in Surakarta City. The sampling technique used quota sampling technique; the sample size was 143 respondents. Data collection techniques used questionnaires; data analysis consisted of univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed with multiple logistic regression. Results: The results showed that maternal behavior in stunting prevention and control was not associated with perceived threat (aOR=1.04; 95% CI=0.96 to 1.12; p=0.328), knowledge (aOR=0.87; 95% CI=0.71 to 1.05; p=0.146), outcome expectation (aOR=0.99; 95% CI=0.76 to 1.27; p=0.907), situational perception (aOR=1.03; 95% CI=0.85 to 1.26; p=0.746), self-efficacy (aOR=0.97; 95% CI=0.81 to 1.16; p=0.721), cues to action (aOR=1.02; 95% CI=0.94 to 1.12; p=0.623), or social support (aOR=1.01; 95% CI=0.92 to 1.10; p=0.831). Mothers with longer TPPS involvement had 2.94 times higher odds of demonstrating positive stunting prevention and control behaviors than those with shorter involvement (aOR=2.94; 95% CI=1.31 to 6.61; p=0.009). Conversely, each one-unit increase in perceived expectations was associated with a 6% lower odds of positive maternal behavior (aOR=0.94; 95% CI=0.88 to 1.00; p=0.032).  Conclusion: Duration of TPPS involvement and perceived expectations were significant factors associated with maternal behavior in stunting prevention and control.

Abstract

Background: Long working hours and high job demands are recognized psychosocial risk factors in occupational health. Professionals who pursue graduate education while maintaining full time employment may experience dual role strain, which can affect cognitive functioning and academic performance. This study examined the association between psychosocial work factors and academic performance among occupational health professionals enrolled in graduate education. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among 95 occupa­tional health professionals enrolled in the Master of Applied Occupational Health and Safety program. Variables included weekly working hours, weekly study time, perceived workplace support, family support, resilience, and grade point average (GPA). Data were analyzed using a multiple linear regression. Results: Participants reported high levels of work exposure, with some experiencing extreme workloads. Workplace support was significantly associated with lower GPA (b= −0.08, 95% CI −0.16 to −0.01, p = 0.028), whereas weekly study time showed a positive association with GPA (b= 0.01, 95% CI 0.01–0.01, p = 0.050). Resilience (b= −0.01, 95% CI −0.01 to 0.01, p = 0.449), weekly working hours (b= −0.01, 95% CI −0.01 to 0.01, p = 0.523), and family support (b= −0.01, 95% CI −0.03 to 0.02, p= 0.736) were not significantly associated with GPA. Conclusion: The findings suggest that workplace support without meaningful workload adjustment may function as a latent psychosocial risk factor rather than a protective mechanism. Academic performance among working professionals appears to depend more on structural time availability than on perceived support alone. From a public health perspective, alignment between institutional encouragement and actual workload management is essential to safeguard cognitive functioning and academic success.

Abstract

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major public health concern among adolescents, with risky sexual behavior contributing to ongoing transmission and adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Although knowledge, attitudes, personal values, and traumatic experiences have been identified as factors related to adolescent sexual behavior, evidence examining these factors simultaneously among Indonesian adolescents remains limited. This study aimed to examine the associations of knowledge, attitudes, personal values, and traumatic experiences with risky sexual behavior among Indonesian adolescents. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 189 adolescents. Participants were recruited using multistage probability sampling technique. The dependent variable was risky sexual behavior. The independent variables were knowledge of STIs, attitudes toward reproductive health, personal values, and traumatic experiences. Data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Responses were categorized based on Rasch model analysis. Correlation between variables were analyzed using the Product Moment Pearson are test, and multivariat analysis used multiple regression linier. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: A total of 189 adolescents participated in the study, and 55.1% were classified as having risky sexual behavior. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that traumatic experience was positively associated with sexual behavior (b= 0.15; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.29; p= 0.049). No significant associations were found between knowledge (b= 0.10; 95% CI= −0.04 to 0.24; p= 0.162), attitude (b = −0.03; 95% CI = −0.40 to 0.34; p = 0.882), personal value (b= 0.07; 95% CI= −0.50 to 0.65; p = 0.803), and sexual behavior. Conclusion: Attitudes toward reproductive health, personal values, and traumatic experiences were significantly associated with risky sexual behavior among Indonesian adolescents, whereas knowledge of STIs was not. These findings indicate that psychosocial factors should be considered alongside knowledge in understanding risky sexual behavior among adolescents.

Abstract

Background: Overweight and obesity among university students are influenced by dietary behavior, physical activity, socioeconomic characteristics, and family predisposition. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with overweight/obesity among university students, focusing on ultra-processed food consumption and physical activity while controlling for potential confounders. Subjects and Method: This case-control study involving 201 active university students, comprising 77 overweight/obesity cases and 124 normal controls. Participants were selected using purposive sampling with matching by sex and age. Data were collected using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and anthropometric measurements. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression with SPSS version 29. Results: family history of obesity was significantly associated with higher odds of overweight/ obesity. Students with a family history of obesity had approximately three times higher odds of being overweight/obese than those without a family history (aOR= 2.96; 95% CI=1.10 to 7.93; p= 0.031). Students enrolled in the Nutrition study program had lower odds of overweight/obesity than those in the Hospital Administration program (aOR=0.35; 95% CI=0.13 to 0.95; p= 0.040). Weekly allowance >IDR 700,000 showed a borderline association with higher odds of overweight/ obesity (aOR= 6.59; 95% CI=0.89 to 48.95; p=0.065). Vigorous physical activity ≤10 minutes also showed a borderline association with lower odds (aOR=0.33; 95% CI=0.11 to 1.01; p=0.053), whereas vigorous physical activity of 11–20 minutes was not significantly associated with over­weight/ obesity (aOR= 0.89; 95% CI=0.32 to 2.45; p=0.820). Frequent snack and soft drink consumption were not significantly associated with overweight/obesity after adjustment. Conclusion: Family history of obesity and study program were significantly associated with overweight/obesity, whereas ultra-processed food consumption and physical activity were not independently associated after adjustment. These findings highlight the importance of familia predisposition and nutrition-related educational environments in campus-based prevention strategies.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The disease continues to pose a major public health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, including Indonesia. This study aims to examine the Health Belief Model in relation to dengue prevention behaviors and the incidence of dengue fever in Jepara District, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Jepara District, Central Java, in January 2025. A sample of 200 respondents was selected using the fixed disease sampling method, all of whom were residents of Jepara District. The dependent variable was dengue prevention behavior. Independent variables included perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear analysis. Results: Dengue prevention behavior increased with higher perceived susceptibility (b = 0.21; 95% CI = 0.00 to 0.43; p = 0.049), perceived severity (b = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.57; p = 0.044), perceived benefits (b= 0.33; 95% CI= 0.03 to 0.63; p = 0.030), cues to action (b = 0.19; 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.37; p = 0.042), and self-efficacy (b= 0.33; 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.65; p = 0.045), while lower perceived barriers were associated with improved prevention behavior (b = –0.18; 95% CI = –0.36 to –0.01; p = 0.045). Conclusion: The results of this study show that higher levels of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, cues to action, and self-efficacy, as well as lower perceived barriers, enhance dengue prevention behaviors.

Abstract

Background: Breast milk donation is one of the solutions recommended by WHO in fulfilling nutritional intake for infants who cannot receive it directly from their mothers. However, the participation rate of breastfeeding mothers in breast milk donor programs remains low in many countries. This study aims to explore effectiveness of breast milk donor education programmes in increasing breastfeeding mothers’ participation. Subjects and Method: This study employed a scoping review guided by the Arkey and O'Malley framework approach. The population in this study consists of breastfeeding mothers who are potential donors or recipients of breast milk donation. The article search used 4 databases namely Pubmed, Sciencedirect, ProQuest and Wiley according to the inclusion criteria, namely articles published in the last 10 years (2016-2025) with keywords. Filtering articles using PRISMA Flowchart. There were 10 articles obtained and further analysis was carried out based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Results: Based on the review of 10 articles, it can be concluded that breast milk donor education programs have a significant influence in increasing breastfeeding mothers' participation, especially through behavioural theory-based approaches and digital technology interventions used to promote and serve as recruitment platforms. However, the success of educational programmes is highly dependent on adaptation to cultural and social factors in each region. Conclusion: Breast milk donation education effectively inreases breastfeeding participation, especially when it digital, behavior-based and contextual. Therefore, future educational approaches need to be comprehensive and contextually adaptive in order to strengthen sustainable breast milk donation practices.
