Abstract

Malaria remains endemic in eastern Indonesia, and resistance to conventional antimalarial drugs necessitates alternative treatments. Black pule (Alstonia spectabilis) is one of the plants that has been researched and claimed to be a natural ingredient that can treat malaria. Black pule prototype has been prepared for the downstream stage through commercialization. Before that, it is necessary to conduct marketing research to ensure the success of the marketing. Therefore, this study evaluates consumer preferences and formulates marketing strategies for black pule antimalarial tablets. This study involved 100 respondents selected using cluster and purposive sampling across three malaria-endemic sub-districts in South Central Timor Regency. Using a quantitative-descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results show that most consumer targets stated that the antimalarial tablet prototype of black pule has a good impression and characteristics. Approximately 69-77% of respondents rated the product positively across shape, color, taste, aroma, size, and overall organoleptic attributes. The results indicate that the majority of respondents gave positive evaluations and expressed a preference for the product’s shape, color, taste, aroma, size, and overall organoleptic characteristics. Findings support aggressive marketing strategies for herbal antimalarial tablets in endemic regions. Based on these findings, an aggressive S-O marketing strategy is recommended, emphasizing product promotion, participation in health-related expos, strengthened digital outreach, and concise educational initiatives to improve public acceptance of the herbal antimalarial tablet.

Abstract

Urinary incontinence (UI) affects millions globally, predominantly women, significantly impacting quality of life. This study evaluated Afigel as a novel intervention for reducing UI symptoms. A quasi-experimental pre-posttest design was employed with 93 premenopausal women randomly assigned to intervention (n = 31) and control (n = 62) groups. Data collection utilized personal data sheets, Afigel therapy standard operating procedures, observation sheets, and the questionnaire for urinary incontinence diagnosis (QUID). Dependent and independent t-tests analyzed the data. Among participants, 43% experienced stress incontinence, 47% experienced urge incontinence, and 10% mixed incontinence. Severity was mild (41%), moderate (45%), and severe (14%). The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in incontinence scores from 6.30 to 1.53 (p = 0.000), while the control group showed minimal change from 6.30 to 6.18 (p = 0.21). Afigel demonstrates potential as an effective UI management therapy. These findings suggest Afigel could substantially improve quality of life by reducing UI-related social embarrassment, activity limitations, and psychological distress. For primary health care settings, Afigel offers a potentially accessible, non-invasive treatment option that community health nurses and primary care providers could implement, reducing referral burdens on specialist services while addressing this prevalent yet often underreported condition.

Abstract

Measles, despite the continuous significant advancements in the field of science, still poses a major health threat worldwide. While vaccines have significantly reduced measles-related morbidity and mortality, access to alternative treatments remains critical for populations unable to receive immunization due to medical, cultural, or socioeconomic barriers. With that, looking into some readily available, cost-effective, and safe alternatives for the treatment of measles is necessary. Given the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, the main objective of this study is to conduct an ethnobotanical review on the medicinal plants that have been traditionally used in the Philippines for measles treatment. In this review, findings reveal a wide array of plant species that have been traditionally used for measles treatment. A total of 45 medicinal plant species belonging to 25 families were found to have been used in the Philippines to traditionally treat measles. Moreover, data show that Poaceae has the highest number of plant species, which constitutes 11.11% of medicinal plant species in the Philippines, with therapeutic potential against measles. This consolidated data highlights potential low-cost alternatives to conventional therapies and underscores the need for further pharmacological validation of these remedies to enhance their integration into public health strategies.

Abstract

Despite growing evidence on family involvement in diabetes management, few studies have developed and tested structured educational programs targeting family caregivers as active companions in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive family support education program based on the five pillars of diabetes mellitus (DM) management in enhancing family knowledge and educational support capacity. A quasi-experimental design with non-probability sampling was employed, involving 157 respondents (intervention group: 72; control group: 85). Social support was measured using a modified Diabetes Social Support Questionnaire-Family. Data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests. The intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in mean educational support scores from 61.81 to 90.85 (mean difference = 29.04; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 1.82), indicating a large effect size. The control group showed negligible changes. Poor knowledge decreased from 45.8% to 26.39% in the intervention group, while intermediate knowledge increased substantially. The structured family education program produced a large and statistically significant improvement in caregiving capacity. These findings underscore the need for public health policies to integrate family-centered educational interventions into routine diabetes care, particularly in settings with limited healthcare infrastructure, to reduce disease burden and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Diabetic foot disease (DFD) is a preventable but rapidly growing complication of diabetes in Oman. The individual and societal consequences of DFD are catastrophic; however, best practices in its management remain underreported. This review aimed to identify, appraise, and synthesize the available evidence on DFD in Oman and to map findings onto the capability, opportunity, motivation, behaviour (COM-B) model to guide public health interventions. Five databases (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, WHO EMRO repository, Google Scholar) and two Omani journal archives were searched from inception to March 2026. Records were screened independently by two reviewers, and methodological quality was appraised using an adapted Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Findings were mapped deductively onto the six COM-B sub-domains and to the behaviour change wheel intervention functions. Ten publications met inclusion criteria. Diabetes related lower limb amputations account for 47% of all amputations nationally. Concurrent deficits were found across capability (55% lacked knowledge of DFD causes), opportunity (no multidisciplinary foot teams outside Muscat; 50 to 54% barefoot walking), and motivation (38% performed regular foot examination). Limitations include lack of interventional studies, urban concentration, and self-reported outcomes. Policy priorities are a national DFD registry, multidisciplinary foot care beyond Muscat, and integration of behaviour change techniques into primary care.

Abstract

The increasing number of homebound and bedridden patients in Indonesia illustrates the importance of effective hospital-based telehomecare. While telehomecare can improve access and continuity of care, its implementation depends on alignment with user needs. This study aimed to identify user-centered socio-technical requirements for telehomecare in hospital-based homecare services in Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using in-depth interviews and a focus group discussion with 12 purposively selected stakeholders. A telemonitoring device was used as a contextual probe. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis with stakeholder triangulation. Three main areas of needs were identified: i) functional needs, which include constant monitoring, settings for specific diseases, early warning alerts, organized communication, and access to long-term data; ii) technical needs, like ease of use for older people, access through mobile devices, support for location tracking, easy-to-read dashboards, and compatibility with hospital information systems; and iii) data security, privacy, and making sure everyone can use the system, which involves dealing with. These findings help shape the design and growth of fair telehomecare systems in health settings with limited resources and provide real-world evidence from a low- and middle-income country.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia, with a global prevalence of approximately 14.0% in the general population and rising to 24.0% among the elderly, represents the second most prevalent metabolic disease after diabetes and constitutes a significant public health burden. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of turmeric tea in reducing blood uric acid levels in hyperuricemic elderly. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed, involving 140 respondents equally divided into an intervention group (n = 70) receiving 1000 mg/day of turmeric tea and a control group (n = 70) receiving standard health education. Blood uric acid levels were measured using a portable uric acid meter. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t-test, the Independent Sample t-test, and multiple linear regression. The intervention group demonstrated a significant reduction in mean uric acid levels from 8.46 ± 1.32 mg/dL to 6.78 ± 1.18 mg/dL (mean difference = 1.68 mg/dL; p = 0.000), while the control group showed no significant change (8.39 ± 1.28 to 8.21 ± 1.25 mg/dL; p = 0.137). The effect size was large (Cohen's d = 1.23). Multiple regression confirmed turmeric tea as the strongest predictor of uric acid reduction (B = 1.472; p = 0.000). Turmeric tea effectively reduces blood uric acid levels in hyperuricemic elderly and holds potential for integration into community-based elderly health programs as an accessible and affordable complementary therapy for hyperuricemia management.

Abstract

Preventing HIV/AIDS in high-risk workplaces remains a public health priority, particularly in the construction sector. However, empirical evidence on structured, sustainable, and empowerment-based Training-of-Trainers (ToT) interventions for HIV prevention in Indonesian construction workplaces remains limited. This study evaluated a ToT-based intervention designed to build internal peer-facilitator capacity among construction workers and to strengthen workplace HIV prevention through a feasible, scalable, and participatory model. MA quasi-experimental single-group pre-test-post-test study was conducted among 30 construction workers attending a two-day facilitator training. HIV/AIDS knowledge was assessed before and immediately after training using a structured questionnaire. Paired-sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Cohen’s dz, and thematic content analysis were applied. Results: Mean knowledge scores increased significantly from 60.00 (SD = 12.66) to 91.33 (SD = 7.65), with a mean difference of 31.33 (95% CI: 26.76-35.90; p < 0.001). These findings suggest that peer-facilitator training may be a promising workplace health promotion strategy to strengthen HIV prevention capacity in construction settings, although further controlled studies are needed. Qualitative findings highlighted increased confidence, perceived relevance, and stronger peer networking. The ToT-based intervention was associated with substantial short-term gains in HIV/AIDS knowledge among construction workers and may help strengthen internal workplace prevention capacity. Further controlled studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm its effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major non-communicable disease among older adults and a growing public health problem in Indonesia. Older people often have limited health literacy, which may affect their knowledge and self-management of DM. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between education level and knowledge about DM among the elderly in Bandung City, West Java. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 elderlies with type 2 DM using purposive sampling at primary health care facilities with high DM cases. Data were collected through structured interviews using a demographic questionnaire and a 15-item multiple-choice questionnaire on DM knowledge that had been tested for validity and reliability previously, adapted from an Indonesian diabetes self-management instrument. Knowledge scores were categorized into good and poor. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Most respondents had an elementary or high-school education. The majority of the elderly with higher education levels had good knowledge about DM, while those with lower education levels tended to have poorer knowledge. There was a statistically significant association between education level and elderly knowledge about DM (p<0.001). Education level is significantly associated with DM knowledge among the elderly in Bandung. These findings highlight the need for a tailored continuity of care diabetes program, especially for the elderly with lower educational attainment, in order to improve self-management and glycemic control.

Abstract

The postpartum period is a critical phase in maternal health, during which inadequate lactation and delayed uterine involution may contribute to an increased risk of complications. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of combined oxytocin massage and clary sage aromatherapy on lactation and uterine involution in women during the postpartum period. A quasi experimental study was conducted among 30 participants (15 controls; 15 intervention). In the control group, mean breast milk volume increased from 32.00 ± 14.74 mL to 105.33 ± 18.07 mL (Δ = 73.33 ± 17.29; p < 0.001). In the intervention group, it increased from 37.00 ± 24.04 mL to 98.33 ± 40.39 mL (Δ = 61.33 ± 36.62; p<0.001), with no significant intergroup difference (p = 0.265). However, uterine involution differed significantly between groups (Mann-Whitney U = 43.000, Z = -2.932, p = 0.003). The combined intervention may serve as a complementary strategy to enhance uterine recovery, although its effect on breast milk production was not statistically superior to standard care.
