Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains one of the most significant transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs), posing ongoing challenges to blood safety in Indonesia. Regular monitoring of HBV reactivity among blood donors is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of screening and guiding public health interventions. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and temporal trends of HBV reactivity among blood donors in Bojonegoro, while evaluating the effectiveness of current screening procedures and supporting public health interventions. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 51,351 blood donors at UDD PMI Bojonegoro between January 2020 and December 2021. Blood samples were screened using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to detect HBV infection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation. A total of 261 donors tested reactive for hepatitis B, comprising 129 cases in 2020 and 132 in 2021. Although the absolute number of reactive cases increased slightly, the reactivity rate declined from 0.61% to 0.44%, coinciding with an overall increase in the number of donors. Monthly analysis revealed fluctuating patterns, with peaks observed in December 2020 and June 2021. The declining proportion of HBV reactivity suggests improvements in donor selection and public awareness. However, the continued presence of reactive cases highlights the need to strengthen screening systems, expand vaccination coverage, and adopt more sensitive detection technologies, such as Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT). Ongoing regional surveillance remains crucial to support national efforts in controlling HBV and ensuring the safety of blood transfusion services in Indonesia.

Abstract

Preschool-aged children are vulnerable to sexual violence due to limited knowledge of sexual concepts, body autonomy, and personal boundaries. Early sex education is essential to strengthen children’s protective knowledge and help-seeking behaviors. In Indonesia, however, sex education for early childhood is often constrained by social taboos, limited teacher training, and insufficient instructional resources. Teachers play a central role in delivering age-appropriate sex education in schools, yet their perceptions and experiences remain underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to explore kindergarten teachers' perceptions of sex education for preschool-aged children, including their understanding of sex education concepts, implementation challenges, and expectations for effective delivery. A qualitative study using a descriptive-phenomenological approach was conducted from August to September 2024 in Manado City. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit 15 kindergarten teachers as main informants and 7 preschool-aged children as supporting informants for data triangulation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. Two main themes emerged: (1) sex education for preschool-aged children and (2) challenges and expectations of teachers in conducting sex education. Teachers generally understood sex education as teaching body autonomy, private body parts, gender identity, and safe versus unsafe touch. However, perceptions differed regarding the appropriate age to introduce sex education and whether girls should receive greater emphasis than boys. Children's growth, attention spans, training, and teaching medium were challenges. Teachers stressed interactive methods and engagement with parents, health workers, and government agencies. Early childhood sex education is heavily influenced by teachers' expertise, challenges, and expectations. Effective and sustainable early sex education requires teacher competency, age-appropriate resources, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

Abstract

Diarrheal diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Inadequate hygiene practices and limited health education contribute to the high incidence of diarrhea among school-aged children. Innovative and engaging educational approaches are needed to improve children’s preventive behaviors. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of health education using video infographics in improving knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to diarrhea prevention among elementary school children in Palembang, Indonesia. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 104 students at Negeri 145 elementary school in Palembang. Participants received health education through video infographics covering proper handwashing, healthy eating habits, maintaining clean toilets, and appropriate waste disposal. Data on KAP related to diarrhea prevention were collected using structured questionnaires before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed to compare pretest and posttest scores. The intervention resulted in significant improvements across all measured outcomes. Mean knowledge scores increased from 6.07 to 14.13, attitudes from 28.16 to 61.36, and practices from 31.28 to 64.98 (p < 0.05 for all variables). These findings indicate that video-infographic-based education effectively enhanced children’s awareness and adoption of diarrhea-prevention behaviors. Health education using video infographics is an effective tool for improving knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices related to diarrhea among elementary school children. However, sustaining healthy behaviors beyond the school environment remains challenging and requires continued support from parents and communities, as well as improvements in sanitation and environmental conditions.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) Program is a flagship initiative of the Indonesian Government aimed at addressing malnutrition and strengthening human capital development. The program seeks to improve access to nutritious food, reduce stunting, and support the development of a healthy and competitive generation toward Indonesia’s Golden Age 2045. This qualitative descriptive study was conducted at SMP X Jakarta. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with field implementers directly involved in program execution. The analysis focused on examining implementation processes through a health policy perspective. The findings indicate that the program aligns with core health policy principles, particularly in promoting health through school-based interventions. Field implementers reported that the program contributes to meeting students’ nutritional needs and is associated with improved concentration and school attendance. The program has received strong support from students and parents, who perceived it as relevant to household economic conditions and children’s health needs. However, several challenges were identified, including diverse student consumption behaviors, a large target population, limited facilities, and suboptimal food preparation processes. Additionally, the absence of detailed operational guidelines, limited technical training, and unclear division of authority required schools to independently adjust the implementation mechanism. While the MBG program demonstrates substantial benefits in supporting student nutrition and educational engagement, strengthening governance structures, technical guidance, and operational coordination is essential to optimize program sustainability and scalability.

Abstract

Choking is a life-threatening emergency in toddlers that can lead to hypoxia and death if not promptly managed. Mothers often serve as first responders at home, yet many lack adequate knowledge and appropriate attitudes toward choking first aid. This study evaluated the effect of animated Heimlich maneuver education on mothers’ preparedness to manage choking in toddlers. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 86 mothers of children aged 1–3 years at Pamulang Community Health Center, recruited through consecutive sampling. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed using structured questionnaires before and after a 6-minute animated video intervention demonstrating choking risks, signs, and the Heimlich maneuver. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results showed significant improvements in both knowledge and attitudes. The proportion of mothers with good knowledge increased from 18.6% to 72.1%, and positive attitudes increased from 30.2% to 90.7%. These changes were statistically significant (knowledge: Z = −8.214, p < 0.001; attitudes: Z = −8.342, p < 0.001). Animated education on the Heimlich maneuver effectively improves mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward choking first aid and offers a practical strategy to enhance caregiver preparedness.

Abstract

Mental health promotion requires collaboration across schools, families, health services, and communities to support adolescent psychosocial development. This study explored cross-sectoral roles in promoting adolescent mental health among teenagers in Sumbawa Regency. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, involving four informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis, with triangulation to ensure validity. The study focused on early detection, mental health promotion activities, and peer-based cadre development. Findings indicate that collaboration among the school, the Community Health Center, and National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) supports promotive and preventive efforts. Early detection is conducted through periodic screening by the Community Health Center remains limited in coverage an dnot yet integrated into a continuous school-based system. Mental health promotion involves multiple stakeholders, including community leaders, but is largely event-based with limited monitoring and evaluation. Peer cadre development through the PIK-R program facilitates peer support and early identification, although its implementation remains informal and restricted to certain student groups. In conclusion, cross-sector collaboration strengthens school-based mental health promotion through integrated screening, outreach, and peer-based approaches. However, its sustainability depends on consistent coordination and institutional support.
