Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as elementary school-aged children whose immune systems are not fully developed. Despite ongoing national efforts to mitigate the spread of TB, the incidence among children remains notably high, necessitating innovative prevention strategies. This study aims to evaluate the impact of a specifically designed Tuberculosis Prevention Smart Book on enhancing parental social support approaches towards childhood TB prevention. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest format, the research sampled 200 parents of children attending elementary schools in Surabaya. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measuring informational, instrumental, emotional, and reward dimensions of social support. Findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in all dimensions of parental support following the intervention, with p-values below 0.05 for informational, instrumental, and emotional support categories. Notably, the use of the Smart Book facilitated heightened parental awareness, increased proactive caregiving behaviors such as early symptom detection and maintaining hygienic environments, and strengthened emotional engagement with children. However, changes in the reward support dimension were not statistically significant. The study concludes that integrating educational Smart Books into health promotion initiatives markedly enhances parental involvement and social support mechanisms critical for childhood TB prevention. This approach offers a promising avenue for community-based TB control programs, emphasizing the pivotal role of parents in safeguarding child health and curbing TB transmission within educational settings

Abstract

Maternal mortality remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, and limited knowledge of high-risk pregnancy is one of the factors that may delay appropriate decision-making and reduce women’s confidence in managing pregnancy-related complications. This study aimed to examine the effect of flipchart-based health education on the knowledge and self-efficacy of pregnant women regarding high-risk pregnancy. A pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted at the Kapas Health Center, Bojonegoro Regency. The population consisted of 302 pregnant women, and a sample of 51 participants was selected using the Lemeshow formula. The independent variable was health education delivered through flipchart media, while the dependent variables were knowledge and self-efficacy regarding high-risk pregnancy. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.008). Before the intervention, 27 participants (53%) had poor knowledge, 20 (39.2%) had adequate knowledge, and 4 (7.8%) had good knowledge. After the intervention, the proportion with poor knowledge decreased to 16 participants (31.4%), while 24 (47%) had adequate knowledge and 11 (21.6%) had good knowledge, indicating that 68.6% achieved adequate-to-good knowledge after the intervention. A significant improvement was also observed in self-efficacy (p = 0.000). Prior to the intervention, 12 participants (23.5%) had low self-efficacy and 39 (76.5%) had high self-efficacy; after the intervention, all participants (100%) demonstrated high self-efficacy. In conclusion, flipchart-based health education was effective in improving both knowledge and self-efficacy among pregnant women regarding high-risk pregnancy. This approach may serve as a practical, low-cost, and accessible educational strategy for use in community health centers to support better maternal awareness, confidence, and decision-making.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge, particularly in developing countries, because it negatively affects children’s physical growth, cognitive development, and future productivity. The first 1,000 days of life constitute a critical period for growth and development, during which nutritional deficiencies and inadequate maternal understanding of child health may increase the risk of stunting. Limited knowledge and unfavorable attitudes among mothers toward stunting prevention may hinder early preventive efforts. Therefore, effective educational interventions are needed to improve maternal awareness and promote positive health-related attitudes during this crucial period. This study aimed to determine the effect of animated video-based health education on mothers’ knowledge and attitudes regarding stunting prevention during the first 1,000 days of life. A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted in the working area of the Sidotopo Wetan Health Center, Surabaya, Indonesia. A total of 44 respondents were selected using cluster sampling and divided into intervention and control groups. The independent variable was health education delivered through animated videos, while the dependent variables were mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward stunting prevention. Data were collected using structured knowledge and attitude questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess within-group differences and the Mann–Whitney U Test to compare differences between groups.  The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in mothers’ knowledge and attitudes after receiving animated video-based health education on stunting prevention during the first 1,000 days of life (p < 0.05). Mothers in the intervention group demonstrated better post-test outcomes than those in the control group. In conclusion, animated video-based health education is effective in improving mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward stunting prevention. This approach may serve as an engaging and practical educational strategy to strengthen maternal awareness and support early stunting prevention programs in community health settings.

Abstract

Health is essential for overall well-being and productivity, and oral health is closely linked to general health. Issues in the mouth can affect the whole body and human quality of life. At Sanggar Alang-Alang, for the preliminary observation 10 children showed an average OHIS score of 3.2 and a Debris Index of 2.1—both in the poor category. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dental health knowledge and the Debris Index among 48 street children using a cross-sectional correlation design. Data were collected through questionnaires and oral examinations, then analyzed with the Spearman Rank test. Results showed no relationship between dental health knowledge and the Debris Index. Although most adolescents had good knowledge, their debris levels remained high. This indicates that knowledge alone is not enough to ensure good oral hygiene; proper attitudes and behaviors must also support it

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that can affect an individual's ability to maintain oral hygiene. This condition may lead to dental and oral health problems, such as gingivitis. An examination conducted in August 2024 on 30 patients with schizophrenia showed that 93% of them experienced gingivitis, indicating a high prevalence of gingivitis among patients with schizophrenia. This study aims to determine the relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia at Karangkembang Regional Public Hospital, Lamongan Regency, in 2025. This research uses an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design involving 77 patients with schizophrenia. Data were collected through oral examinations to assess the patients’ oral hygiene and gingival condition. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank correlation test to determine the relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia, with a significance level (α) = 0.05. If the analysis result shows a ρ-value < 0.05, then H1 is accepted. If the ρ-value > 0.05, then H1 is rejected. The result of the Spearman rank test showed a ρ-value of 0.000. This value is smaller than the predetermined significance level (α = 0.05), thus H1 is accepted. This means there is a relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia at Karangkembang Regional Public Hospital, Lamongan Regency, in 2025. The correlation coefficient (ρ) is 0.531, indicating a strong relationship between oral hygiene and gingivitis in patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract

Bullying among school-aged children remains a significant public health and educational concern that negatively affects psychological well-being, emotional stability, self-esteem, and socialization abilities. Inadequate social skills may hinder children’s ability to interact effectively with peers and adapt to their social environment. Interactive educational approaches, such as role-playing, are considered beneficial in promoting communication, cooperation, empathy, and self-control among children. However, empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of role-playing methods in improving socialization skills among elementary school students in Indonesia remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of the role-playing method on the socialization skills of school-aged children at SDN Ngoro 3 Mojokerto, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The participants consisted of 30 fifth-grade students selected through a total sampling technique. The intervention involved three role-playing sessions conducted weekly. Socialization skills were measured using the teacher version of the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of 0.05. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ socialization skills following the intervention. Before the intervention, most students (66.67%) were categorized as having moderate socialization skills, whereas after the intervention, the majority (90%) achieved high socialization skill levels. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = -4.796; p = 0.000). These results indicate that the role-playing method effectively enhances children’s social interaction, cooperation, and self-control. In conclusion, role-playing is an effective and practical educational strategy for improving socialization skills among school-aged children. Integrating role-playing activities into school learning programs may contribute to fostering positive peer relationships and reducing social difficulties among elementary school students.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among adolescents represents a significant public health challenge, largely driven by lifestyle factors and insufficient awareness of preventive measures during early life stages. Despite existing health education efforts, traditional media such as leaflets often fail to effectively engage this population, limiting their impact on knowledge and behavioral change. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of animation book-based health education compared to conventional leaflet methods in enhancing knowledge and attitudes toward diabetes mellitus prevention among adolescents at Muhammadiyah 1 Junior High School, Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups, 64 ninth-grade students were allocated evenly into an intervention group receiving animation book education and a control group receiving leaflet-based education. Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted using structured questionnaires to measure changes in knowledge and attitudes. Statistical analysis applying paired and independent t-tests revealed a significant improvement in both knowledge and positive attitudes in the intervention group compared to the control group (p = 0.001). Notably, the animation book group demonstrated a substantial increase in knowledge scores, with the percentage of students exhibiting “good” knowledge rising from 40.6% to 93.8%, while the control group showed only marginal gains. Attitudinal improvements followed a similar pattern, indicating that the animation book medium facilitates more effective cognitive and affective engagement. These findings suggest that animation book-based education serves as a superior and innovative pedagogical tool for school-based health promotion aimed at early diabetes prevention. Integration of such interactive media can enhance adolescent health literacy and support preventive behaviors, ultimately reducing the future burden of non-communicable diseases.
