Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive overview of research on mobile health applications (mHealth apps) from 2013 to 2023. A total of 207 research papers from the Scopus database were analyzed. Based on keyword co-occurrences and co-authorship mapping, the paper identifies emerging trends and research patterns by using the VOSviewer software. Over the past ten years, there has been a discernible increase in the number of mHealth publications. However, a lack of attention has been given to the Asian context. It is anticipated that applications of mHealth will be observed in numerous health services given the high volume of citations obtained in this subject. The present review paper is assisted by the bibliometric approach and offers a rigorous analysis of journal papers on mHealth that have been published. The findings of the current work may serve as a foundation for further research in this discipline that focuses on bringing attention to the nature of the subject matter. This overview could be a central resource for researchers and practitioners looking for information that can help with cross-disciplinary projects by directing them to recognized peer-reviewed publications, journals, and networks.

Abstract

Diarrhea is a common disease in the community and can be fatal if treatment is delayed. Banjar District has recorded the highest prevalence of diarrhea in South Kalimantan for the past few years, making it one of the causes of death in toddlers. This study aims to conduct spatial analysis using Moran's I index and local indicators of spatial association (LISA). Diarrhea case predictions are made using the multiplicative decomposition time series method. The data used in this study are diarrhea case data from 20 sub-districts in Banjar District during the period 2016-2022. Although no global autocorrelation was found in Banjar District, there were two sub-districts that showed local autocorrelation. The prediction results show a decreasing trend in diarrhea cases in most sub-districts. Health interventions can be focused on areas with high risk, such as hotspot areas and areas predicted not to experience a decrease in diarrhea cases.

Abstract

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) persisted as a critical public health challenge in South Tangerang. This study employed a cross-sectional design and snowball sampling technique to evaluate the engagement of urban communities in dengue prevention, involving 234 participants. Findings indicate that while practices such as container emptying (76.5%) and water storage sealing (57.7%) were prevalent, activities like mosquito larvae inspection (36.3%) and breeding item disposal (34.6%) were less common. Alarmingly, personal protective measures, including mosquito net usage (11.1%) and repellent application (16.7%), were significantly lacking. Statistical analyses revealed notable correlations (p-value<0.05) between dengue prevention behaviors and factors, including beliefs, attitudes towards prevention, support from family and healthcare professionals, and knowledge about dengue prevention. The study highlights a critical disparity in dengue prevention efforts, showing a community bias towards environmental management over personal protection strategies. It calls for increased participation from families and healthcare professionals in dengue prevention initiatives and stresses the need for governmental interventions to improve training for healthcare workers. Ultimately, the study advocates for a comprehensive approach that merges environmental management with personal protective measures, urging governments to adopt integrated strategies for more effective dengue prevention.

Abstract

The lack of communication causes dissatisfaction and distress among conscious intubated patients, which may result in treatment refusal. This preliminary study sought to identify attitudes of nurses towards communication with conscious intubated patients. Thus, possible solutions to improve the communication challenges if exist by finding the attitude of nurses on communication with conscious intubated patients may be explored. Preliminary survey was conducted among selected nurses through convenient sampling method. Questionnaire self-developed, validated were distributed and analyzed descriptively. Almost all respondents believed that conscious patients do want to communicate during intubated period and eighty two percent of the respondents agreed that communication with conscious intubated patients is possible. Seventy five percent respondents have tried to communicate using both verbal and non-verbal methods but 70% have faced challenges. Though only thirty seven percent of the respondents have been taught how to communicate with the intubated conscious patients, sixty four percent of respondents have never asked for any tools for communication. To overcome the communication challenges majority 103 (82.4%) of the respondents stated the requirement of standardized communication tool. The result indicates a need to develop standardized communication tool to ease communication with conscious intubated patients.

Abstract

An international problem that might jeopardize the lives, futures, and well-being of adolescents is early marriage. A couple who marries before the age of eighteen is considered an early marriage. Knowledge and attitudes towards early marriage are among the variables that can impact its incidence. This study aimed to determine the effect of using the SEaM Mobile Card Game and animated videos on increasing the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents about early marriage prevention. The research design is a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent approach (pre-test and post-test) control group design. The sample amounted to 148 respondents. The instruments used in this study were knowledge questionnaires on early marriage prevention, attitude questionnaires on early marriage prevention and usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, and satisfaction (USE) questionnaires. The research data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney with a significance level of p<0.05. The results of this study were that there was a significant difference in adolescent knowledge about early marriage prevention in the SEaM Mobile Card Game group and animated videos after education (p=0.013) and there was a significant difference in adolescents' attitudes toward early marriage prevention in the SEaM Mobile Card Game group and animated videos after education (p=0.000).

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) cases are very developed in Indonesia and are ranked second largest in the world with 8.5% of global cases. We aim to analyze the effect of supportive-educational nursing interventions on self-efficacy, medication adherence, and knowledge of TB patients. The research design used is a quasi-experimental with a control group design. The treatment group was given supportive educational nursing using pocketbooks and teaching aids, while the control group was given education by health workers using leaflets. This research was conducted in the Bima city area by randomly selecting pulmonary TB sufferers in seven community health centers. The sample size is calculated use the Slovin formula and get the sample size was 64 people. Wilcoxon sign rank test and Mann-Whitney were used in this research. The findings show that there were differences in knowledge, self-efficacy, and treatment adherence in the intervention group regarding pulmonary TB with p-values=0.000, 0.000, 0.001 respectively. Findings show that in the control and treatment post-test groups, there were differences in the variables of self-efficacy, treatment compliance, and knowledge with p-values=0.001, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively. The conclusion was the intervention given to the treatment group had an impact on increasing self-efficacy, pathophysiology, and knowledge compared to the control group in TB patients.

The study's target population is factory workers working in the locality of Tamil Nadu with a sample size of 114 workers. A descriptive study design with a quantitative approach and non-probability convenience sampling is applied. The hypotheses formulated were tested by using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS. It is evident from the study there is a significant impact on mental wellbeing on job performance; mental wellbeing on job satisfaction and job satisfaction on job performance. Prioritizing mental health in the workplace shows a dedication to the all-encompassing care of employees and promotes a positive organizational culture that values employee wellbeing. These factors will positively affect employee health and happiness, productivity, absenteeism rates, turnover rates, workplace safety, and ethical responsibility. Future studies can concentrate on mindfulness training, stress management initiatives, and counseling services on performance results.
