Abstract

HIV/AIDS is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing prevalence, requiring serious attention, particularly in efforts to improve the quality of life of those affected. Persistent stigma and discrimination present significant psychosocial challenges. Meanwhile, antiretroviral therapy, as the primary treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS, plays a vital role in maintaining health stability. These three aspects are key determinants that can comprehensively influence the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. This study aims to examine the influence of stigma, discrimination, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy on the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS in Gorontalo City. This study employed an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 69 individuals living with HIV-AIDS, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression with a significance level of 0,05. The analysis revealed that stigma (p-value = 0,000, OR 0,028) and discrimination (P-value = 0,006, OR = 7,32) had a significant influence on the quality of life of people living with HIV-AIDS in Gorontalo City However, adherence to antiretroviral therapy showed no significant impact (P-value = 0,708, OR = 0,761) on their quality of life. This study recommends efforts to raise public awareness about HIV/AIDS and to address the detrimental effects of stigma and discrimination on people living with the disease.

Abstract

Gastritis is one of the non-communicable diseases with a very high incidence. In Indonesia, gastritis is even included in the 10 most common diseases and occurs in all age groups. The incidence of gastritis is partly caused by irregular diet or a good diet. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between diet and the incidence of gastritis in adolescents in Muara Village, Bojonggede. This research method uses a cross-sectional design. The number of respondents in this study was 72 respondents. The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling. The statistical test used in this study is the Chi Squared Test. The results of the study showed that the incidence of gastritis in Muara Village and Perigi Village was only 15 respondents (20.8%). The results of the chi square test obtained the results of Asymp. Sig 0.737 with a significance level of 0.05. If Asymp. Sig 0.05 then there is a significant relationship, if the Asymp. Sig value 0.05, then there is no significant relationship. Thus, it can be interpreted that there is no relationship between diet and the incidence of gastritis. This can also be interpreted that a person's diet has no correlation with the incidence of gastritis. Conclusion from this study there is no relationship between diet and the incidence of gastritis in Muara Village and Perigi Village.

Abstract

Obesity in adolescents needs attention because it can persist into adulthood and increase the risk of degenerative diseases. In Tasikmalaya district, there has not been much research related to obesity risk factors, including with case control study. This research aims to analyze the risk factors associated with obesity in adolescents. The research sample consists of teenagers from a private school in Tasikmalaya Regency. This study uses a case-control design, with a total of 32 cases (total sampling) and 64 controls, resulting in a total sample of 96 students. The independent variables are junk food consumption, soft drink consumption, vegetable and fruit consumption, physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews and food recalls, as well as measuring obesity using the BMI indicator. Data analysis employed the chi-square test at a 95% confidence level. The research results indicate that the variables of junk food consumption (p-value=0.025; OR=3.1), soft drink consumption (p-value=0.017; OR=3.3), vegetable consumption (p-value=0.012; OR=3.4), fruit consumption (p-value=0.017; OR=3.2), physical activity (p-value=0.002; OR=4.5), screen time (p-value=0.017; OR=3.2), and sleep duration (p-value=0.035; OR=2.8) have a significant relationship with the incidence of obesity in adolescents. Thus, the factors of food consumption, physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration are variables that increase the risk of obesity in adolescents.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a conscious effort enabling families to be independent in health, actively engage in health activities, and contribute to community health. Purpose of the research is explores the role of local wisdom in shaping the Bajo Muara tribe's understanding and adoption of PHBS. The type of research used is qualitative research employs an ethnographic approach in Benteng Village, Lasalimu District, Buton Regency, from June to August 2024. Thirteen participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Results: The Bajo Muara community faces challenges in adopting PHBS due to social norms. Health access is limited, and childbirth often relies on traditional healers or midwives, with some births occurring at home. Initial breast milk (colostrum) is discarded as unsuitable, while formula and sachet milk are widely used. Diets lack balanced nutrition. Though the government provides clean water, distribution issues force residents to fetch water from the mainland. Open defecation in the sea remains prevalent. Smoking, common among both men and women, averages 1–2 packs daily. Washing habits are practiced to maintain cleanliness. The implementation of PHBS among the Bajo Muara community is hindered by deeply rooted social norms, limited health access, and challenges in infrastructure and education.

Abstract

Phonics is a method of teaching reading and speech that emphasizes the systematic relationship between letters and sounds (phonemes). This study systematically reviews effective phonics strategies for children aged 3–6 years with speech delays, while also identifying success factors and formulating practical recommendations. The novelty of this study lies in its exclusive focus on early childhood with speech delays and its multidimensional perspective, which integrates technology, clinical profiling, and the mapping of seven key success factors. The primary contribution is the development of evidence-based, practice-oriented recommendations for both speech therapy professionals and family caregivers, thereby extending the applicability of phonics interventions beyond previous reviews. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by PRISMA, ensuring methodological rigor. From 660 publications identified through Google Scholar (2020–2025), 21 studies were retained using eight quality criteria and analyzed narratively. Although Google Scholar served as the main database, it indexes reputable journals listed in Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, thus ensuring diversity and reliability. Findings indicate that phonics interventions are effective for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), hearing impairments, and bilingual contexts. Success depends on early and accurate diagnosis, intensive and structured sessions, adaptive digital technology, and sustained professional support. However, further field trials in Indonesia are recommended to evaluate contextual applicability, especially concerning standardized diagnostic tools, personalized interventions, digital learning integration, and active parental involvement in therapy.

Abstract

The upstream oil and gas industry is inherently associated with a high level of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks, in which two critical determinants of effective risk management are safety culture and its maturity level. Safety culture encompasses the values, attitudes, and behaviors demonstrated by an organization toward safety, whereas safety culture maturity reflects the extent to which such values are systematically institutionalized and sustained. The novelty of this study lies in highlighting the importance of developing safety culture beyond formal implementation, with particular emphasis on advancing maturity toward proactive and generative levels. Accordingly, this research aims to examine the influence of safety culture implementation and safety culture maturity on safety performance at Citic Seram Energy Limited. Employing a quantitative design, data were collected through a purposive sample of 80 respondents using a Likert-scale questionnaire and subsequently analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS. The empirical results demonstrate that safety culture exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on safety performance (β = 0.45; p 0.001), while safety culture maturity also exhibits a positive and significant effect (β = 0.38; p 0.01). Collectively, these variables account for 62% of the variance in safety performance. In conclusion, the findings underscore that strengthening safety culture and enhancing its maturity are essential strategies for significantly improving safety performance within the upstream oil and gas sector.

Abstract

Work fatigue is a critical challenge for firefighters, particularly in high-risk industries such as oil refineries. The novelty of this study is its focus on environmental and operational context as the main factor influencing firefighter fatigue, rather than traditional time-related aspects. This study analyzes the relationship between work time management including work duration, shift type, weekly workdays, sleep duration, and work location and fatigue levels among firefighters at the Balikpapan Refinery Unit V (RU V). A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied with total sampling of 77 respondents. Data were collected using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and analyzed through the Chi-Square test. The majority of respondents experienced mild fatigue (72.7%). Among the five variables examined, only work location showed a significant association with fatigue (p = 0.006). Firefighters assigned to RU V had an 8.2 times higher risk of fatigue than those at the Lawe-Lawe Terminal. Practical recommendations include adopting Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS)-based scheduling, tailoring work arrangements to site conditions, and implementing regular fatigue monitoring to strengthen firefighter safety and performance.

Abstract

The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports more than 2.78 million deaths annually due to work-related accidents and diseases, along with approximately 374 million non-fatal accidents. The novelty of this research lies in testing a comprehensive model that integrates four organizational and human factors with safety culture as a mediator, which is rarely applied in Indonesia’s oil and gas industry. This study investigates the effects of OHS policy commitment, worker factors, work environment, and supervision on OHS implementation, with safety culture as a mediating variable, at Balongan Refinery Unit (RU) VI. Using an explanatory quantitative approach, 165 employees were surveyed and analyzed with SEM-PLS. Findings reveal that worker factors significantly influence both OHS implementation and safety culture, while policy commitment and supervision affect safety culture but not implementation. The work environment has no significant role, and safety culture was not confirmed as a mediator. Worker compliance emerged as the strongest determinant, whereas OHS knowledge was the weakest aspect. Though focused on RU VI, the results offer broader insights for other refinery units with similar high-risk operations.

Abstract

The oil refinery industry has a high level of risk that affects not only workers’ physical safety but also their mental health. At Cilacap Refinery Unit IV, the complexity of production processes, rotating work schedules, and operational pressures have the potential to cause work-related stress that impacts mental well-being. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of the relationship between work stress levels and mental health among oil refinery workers in Indonesia, taking into account job-specific factors in the oil and gas sector. The study aims to identify work stress levels, assess mental health, and analyze their relationship to produce strategic intervention recommendations. The method used is a quantitative survey with standardized questionnaires, involving respondents from Cilacap RU IV. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) through descriptive tests, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. The results showed that work stress levels were in the moderate category, while some workers exhibited mental health symptoms requiring attention. Regression analysis revealed a significant effect of work stress on mental health (p 0.05). The conclusion states that managing work stress is key to maintaining the mental health of oil refinery workers. Policy-based interventions and psychological support programs are recommended to improve workers’ well-being and operational performance.
