Abstract

Chronic diseases have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, physically, psychologically and socially. Optimism, as part of positive psychology, plays an important role in helping patients face health challenges and improve their well-being. Objective: To identify the relationship between optimism and quality of life in patients with chronic diseases through a systematic review. Method: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search across databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Sage, and Nature identified 7,340 articles, with six studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The review included only full-text, English-language quantitative studies—specifically case-control, cross-sectional, cohort, randomised controlled trials (RCTs), or quasi-experimental designs—that examined the relationship between optimism and quality of life in patients with chronic illnesses. There were no restrictions on publication year. Exclusion criteria comprised review articles, meta-analyses, and book or book chapter publications. Each included study was critically appraised using the CASP tool, which assessed research objectives, study design, sampling methods, measurement validity, bias control, and data analysis to ensure methodological rigour. Results: The analysis showed that optimism was positively associated with improved quality of life, especially in physical aspects such as reduced fatigue and improved mobility, as well as psychological aspects such as emotional and spiritual well-being. Social support also strengthened the impact of optimism on quality of life. Community-based interventions, occupational therapy, and multimodal approaches proved effective in increasing patient engagement in meaningful activities. Conclusions: Optimism is an important factor in improving the quality of life of chronic patients, and optimism-based interventions can be an effective strategy to support holistic patient well-being.

Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce has significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, including in the health and personal care sectors. However, the online sale of tartar removal products raises serious concerns regarding consumer protection, product safety, and regulatory oversight. This study aims to examine the adequacy of the existing legal framework and policy mechanisms in protecting consumers who purchase tartar removal products through e-commerce platforms.Methods: This research employed a literature review design using a comprehensive strategy. Articles were sourced from international research journal databases accessed via the internet, specifically ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. All searches were conducted in March 2025, focusing on articles published between 2016 and 2024. The keywords used in this literature review were adapted from Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms, including "consumer protection in e-commerce transactions," "tartar removal products," "e-commerce platforms," and "legal and policy aspects." The initial search yielded 1098 results, of which 711 were duplicates. Of the 387 remaining results, 29 were retained after a title and abstract review. Following a full-text review, 11 articles were included in the study. Charting and theme identification were conducted by a single author (R.C-D).Results:The study identified major challenges, notably the lack of legal protection for consumers. The absence or weakness of legal safeguards in transactions involving tartar removal products has led to several significant issues, including misleading product claims, a lack of mandatory certification, limited enforcement capacity, and inadequate digital infrastructure for transaction monitoring. By analyzing relevant laws, regulations, and case studies, this study highlights the gaps in current consumer protection practices and proposes policy recommendations to strengthen legal protection. These include reinforcing regulatory frameworks, enhancing technology-based monitoring, and promoting consumer education initiatives.Conclusion: The findings emphasize the need for a more adaptive and proactive legal approach to create a safer e-commerce environment, particularly in sectors impacting public health.

Abstract

Global health expenditure has doubled in the last two decades. Health expenditure in low-middle-income countries accounts for around 4.9% of global GDP, which increases the possibility of out-of-pocket (OOP) payments. The proportion of OOP expenditure in low- and middle-income countries accounts for 40% of total health expenditure. Volume-based service delivery also contributes to this problem; therefore, value-based healthcare (VBHC) is introduced, focusing on increasing patient value through cost efficiency and optimal care outcomes. This study aims to determine the implementation of VBHC in low-middle-income countries. The design study used a scoping review based on the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Data searches were conducted through Google Scholar, PubMed, SpringerLink, and ScienceDirect, covering publications from January 2019 to April 2024. The initial search identified 1,121 research articles. A total of 11 articles were synthesized in the final review after being adjusted to the research criteria. From 11 articles, originated from Colombia, Africa, India, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Brazil, Lebanon, and Latin America. They were then synthesized based on the six components of the VBHC approach developed by Peter and Teisberg. Organize care into Integrated Practice Units (IPUs) is implemented in 7 articles, measure outcomes and costs for every patient is widely implemented in 10 articles, move to bundled payments for care cycles is only implemented in 2 articles, integrate care delivery across separate facilities is implemented in 7 articles, expand excellent services across geography is only implemented in 4 articles, and build an enabling information technology platform is only implemented in 1 article. The implementation of the VBHC concept in each country takes a different approach but shares a common goal with the VBHC concept: improving patient outcomes while achieving significant cost savings.

Abstract

Natural and non-natural disasters can cause long-term psychological impacts on affected individuals, including the emergence of post-traumatic stress disorder. However, some victims actually experience positive changes known as post-traumatic growth (PTG), which is psychological growth that occurs after facing a traumatic event. PTG does not form automatically, but is influenced by various factors, one of which is social support. Effective social support can strengthen resilience, provide a sense of security, and facilitate the reinterpretation of the trauma experienced. Objective to identify and synthesize scientific evidence regarding the relationship between social support and PTG in disaster victims.Method: This study used a systematic review design, with article searches conducted through three main databases: PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus. The keywords used were: “post-traumatic growth” OR “PTG” AND “social support” AND “disaster” OR “natural disaster” OR “earthquake” OR “flood” OR “tsunami”. Inclusion criteria included original research articles published in English between 2015–2025 and explicitly discussing the relationship between social support and PTG in disaster victim populations. Data were extracted manually using a table that included the author, purpose, design, sample, location, instrument, and results of the study. Data analysis was conducted descriptively qualitatively with a thematic analysis approach. A total of 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria were successfully identified and analyzed. The results of the study showed that social support consistently plays a role in encouraging the occurrence of PTG through various mechanisms: as a direct predictor, a mediator between psychological factors (such as resilience and survivor guilt), and as a moderator of the relationship between psychopathological symptoms and PTG. Six main themes were found in the thematic analysis: the direct role of social support, psychological mediation, moderating function on depression and anxiety, strengthening resilience, diversity of support sources, and vicarious PTG experiences. PTG does not solely depend on individual characteristics, but is also influenced by the extent to which they are connected to a supportive social environment. Therefore, nursing practice needs to integrate aspects of social support in disaster victim care, either through family, community, or professional service approaches.

Abstract

Papua recorded the highest number of malaria cases in Indonesia in 2021, with 275,243 individuals affected. Keerom Regency ranked second with 17,901 cases in 2020. Recurrent malaria infections in toddlers can lead to chronic nutritional disorders, anemia, and immune system impairments, which disrupt growth and increase the risk of stunting. Objective: To analyze the risk of malaria on stunting incidence among toddlers based on gender, age, history of fever, maternal knowledge, and malaria prevention practices in Keerom Regency. Method: This was a quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of toddlers aged 0–59 months who lived in Keerom Regency and had been diagnosed with clinical malaria, with or without stunting. A purposive sampling technique was applied. Data were collected through structured interviews using validated questionnaires administered to mothers, and anthropometric measurements of toddlers were taken to determine nutritional status based on height-for-age indicators. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Showed that a history of fever, maternal knowledge of breastfeeding and supplemental feeding, and malaria prevention practices were significantly associated with stunting (p<0.05). Conclusions: Children with fever had a 90.6% stunting rate. Improving maternal knowledge and malaria prevention is essential to reduce stunting.

Abstract

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a psychological disorder characterized by excessive worry and uncontrollable responses that persist continuously and can be experienced by both men and women. The Ministry of Health indicates that 47.7% of Indonesian adolescents experience anxiety disorders. Based on data from the National Adolescent Mental Health Survey (I-NAMHS) in 2022, it was revealed that in the past year, 155 million adolescents in Indonesia suffered from mental health disorders such as anxiety disorders. This study aims to identify the correlation between smoking behavior and GAD cases among students at Muhammadiyah University Surakarta from the 2021 to 2024 cohorts. This is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach. The sample consists of 240 active male students at UMS. The sampling technique used was stratified random sampling. The instrument used was a standardized questionnaire from the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), which has been translated into Indonesian and tested for validity and reliability. The questionnaire demonstrated validity and reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha value 0.938. The research data were analyzed using univariate analysis to determine the characteristics of the respondents, such as age, class, and faculty. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Bivariate analysis was conducted on the dependent and independent variables, namely the relationship between smoking behavior and GAD, as well as an additional test on the variable of the number of cigarettes consumed per day. The statistical test results indicate that there is no significant correlation between smoking behavior and GAD incidence with a value of (P = 0.090). Meanwhile, the test results on the relationship between the number of cigarettes consumed per day and GAD incidence show a weak correlation with a value of (P = 0.010).

Abstract

Acute primary angle-closure is an ocular emergency caused by the rapid increase in intraocular pressure due to outflow obstruction of aqueous humor. The major predisposing factor is the structural anatomy of the anterior chamber, leading to a shallower angle between the iris and the cornea. The medical treatment for acute angle-closure glaucoma aims to decrease the intraocular pressure by blocking the production of aqueous humor, increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, and reducing the volume of the aqueous humor. Iridotomy laser should be chosen to open the angle blockage, while trabeculectomy is occasionally performed on eyes that do not respond to medical therapy. Aims to comprehensively describe the management and clinical course of a patient with primary acute angle closure (PAAC). This report also aims to improve clinicians' understanding of the importance of early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and long-term follow-up in preventing complications that can lead to permanent vision loss. This study is a descriptive study with a case report design. Data were obtained retrospectively from the medical records of patients diagnosed with acute primary angle closure at Christian University Hospital, Jakarta. Information collected includes patient identity, anamnesis, physical and supporting examinations, diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and clinical outcomes during treatment and follow-up. The data were then analyzed qualitatively and presented narratively according to the clinical case report format. A 51-year-old woman who developed an acutely painful eye with loss of visual acuity a day before admission. She reported a sensation of pressure and blurry vision in her right eye with no apparent exacerbating factors. The first examination was performed on Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA), where the UCVA was measured as 1/60 OD and 0.4 OS. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye showed moderate conjunctival injection, corneal edema, and pigment deposits on the corneal endothelium. The anterior chamber of both eyes was shallow; gonioscopy findings in the right eye were Schwalbe lines in four quadrants and three in the left. The crystalline lens was clear, and the IOP was measured as 67 mmHg OD and 16 mmHg OS. Acute Primary Angle Closure is an emergency condition that challenges the eye doctor to reduce IOP as soon as possible. The failure of maximum medication to reach the IOP below could lead to the condition to surgery. Even Trabeculectomy has several cautions to consider in this case, but it succeeds in lowering IOP and increasing the patient's visual acuity. Close monitoring is required to avoid the risk of postoperative complications.
