Abstract

Mental health is a crucial element of overall well-being; however, public awareness and understanding of mental disorders remain inadequate in many communities, particularly in low-resource settings. This study explores community perceptions of mental health and mental illness among patients visiting the Kedurus Public Health Center (Puskesmas Kedurus) in Surabaya. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, a total of 60 respondents were selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires based on national mental health literacy indicators and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results showed that more than 60% of participants demonstrated limited knowledge of early symptoms of mental illness, while approximately 70% exhibited negative attitudes or stigmatizing views toward individuals with mental disorders. Only around 30% recognized mental health as an essential part of daily well-being. These attitudes were shaped by cultural norms, insufficient public education, and restricted access to reliable mental health information. The findings underscore the need for sustained mental health education and stigma-reduction efforts at the primary care level. Community-based strategies, particularly those involving local leaders, may improve mental health literacy and foster a more supportive environment for individuals experiencing mental illness.

Abstract

Background. As the global population ages quickly, older individuals are facing a rising burden of chronic diseases, particularly diabetes mellitus. In Indonesia, diabetes among the elderly poses a significant public health concern, often complicated by under-recognized conditions like diabetic neuropathy. Aim. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a community-based intervention focused on targeted health education on diabetic neuropathy among elderly residents in urban area. Methods. A pre- and post-test design was used to assess the intervention's effectiveness. In collaboration with local health cadres and facilities, participants completed identical questionnaires on diabetic neuropathy before and after the health education session to measure improvements in knowledge. Results. A total of 143 elderly participants (median age: 65 years) were enrolled, with 73.4% being female. Post-education test scores showed a statistically significant improvement compared to pre-test scores (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test). Of the participants, 22.4% were newly identified as having diabetes, and another 22% fell into the prediabetes range. Despite some variations in learning outcomes, 84.6% showed improved scores, indicating high effectiveness of the health education session. Conclusion. This study demonstrates that a community-based approach combining early diabetes screening and health education significantly improves elderly participants' knowledge about diabetes and diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge and is the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases after COVID-19. In Indonesia, the incidence of TB is among the highest worldwide, with East Java ranked second nationally. Knowledge and adherence to Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy (TPT) are still limited, particularly among communities at risk, making health education crucial. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health promotion on the knowledge of health cadres regarding tuberculosis preventive therapy in Sukorame, Kediri. A pre-experimental analytic study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 41 active health cadres. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering knowledge, attitude, and practice related to TPT. Health education was delivered via presentations and leaflets, and knowledge was assessed before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in cadres’ knowledge, with pretest scores indicating poor knowledge in all respondents (100%), while posttest scores showed 52% with good knowledge, 44% with moderate knowledge, and only 4% with poor knowledge. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test confirmed a significant difference (p = 0.000). It can be concluded that health promotion effectively increased health cadres’ knowledge of TB preventive therapy. Continuous monitoring and follow-up are recommended to sustain behavioral changes and strengthen TB prevention efforts.

Abstract

Traumatic testicular avulsion is a rare and severe urological emergency resulting from blunt scrotal trauma. It necessitates immediate diagnosis and surgical intervention. This case report describes the presentation and management of a complete testicular avulsion in an adolescent following a motorcycle accident.  A 15-year-old male was referred to Dr. Moewardi General Hospital after a motorcycle accident where he sustained a direct impact to his lower abdomen. Open wound on the right scrotum with complete detachment of the right testis, exposure of the spermatic cord, and irregular wound edges was found. The patient underwent emergency surgical exploration, which included debridement, ligation of the spermatic cord, and repair of the scrotal wound. The procedure was successful, and the patient was managed postoperatively with antibiotics and analgesics. Discussion: Testicular avulsion following a motorcycle accident is a urologic emergency. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach to address bleeding control, testicular function preservation, infection prevention, and scrotal reconstruction.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Hospital Health Promotion (PKRS) at the Special Pulmonary Hospital Technical Implementation Unit of North Sumatra Province in 2025. The background of the study is based on the importance of PKRS in increasing the awareness, attitude, and healthy behavior of patients and their families, as well as supporting the achievement of public health status. The study uses a qualitative approach with observation and in-depth interviews with PKRS officers, as well as a review of hospital documents. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of PKRS has been going quite well, marked by the existence of a special PKRS unit and support from hospital management through the preparation of SOPs and regular monitoring and evaluation. Health promotion activities are carried out through individual or group counseling, as well as utilizing print, electronic, and social media. Thus, the study found several obstacles, including budget limitations, infrastructure, and patients' limited time to participate in education. The program's accessibility is considered quite good because health information can be accessed through various hospital services and social media. Overall, the PKRS at UPTD RS Khusus Paru PROVSU has been implemented according to standards, although it still requires reinforcement in terms of resources and budget support to reach a wider audience and be sustainable.

Abstract

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a pathogenic bacterium and one of the leading causes of pneumonia. The first-line therapy for pneumonia typically involves the administration of empirical antibiotics. However, excessive use of antibiotics has triggered resistance to various drugs, highlighting the need for new, potential alternatives with antibacterial activity. In this context, traditional medicinal plants with antibiotic-like properties can be considered, one of which is garlic (Allium sativum L.), known to contain active compounds with antibacterial effects. The objective of this study was to identify the most potent active compound in garlic (Allium sativum) as an antibacterial agent against S. pneumoniae. The method used was an in silico test via molecular docking between garlic’s active compounds and the bacterial target protein, penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2). The results showed that the active compounds allicin, ajoene, S-allylcysteine, and alliin have antibacterial potential, with alliin showing the highest potential among them although still lower than the antibiotic benzylpenicillin. This study is based on in silico analysis and therefore requires further experimental validation.
