Abstract

A sedentary lifestyle is characterized by a consistent lack of physical activity, which is associated with an increased risk of being overweight and obese. Students often exhibit low levels of physical activity due to academic obligations, which can potentially lead to an increase in their body mass index (BMI). This study aims to examine the relationship between sedentary lifestyle levels and BMI among students at ITSK Dr Soepraoen Hospital in Malang. This study employed a cross-sectional design utilizing quantitative methods. Sampling was conducted through purposive sampling, involving 575 active students across levels 1 to 4. Data were collected using the Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ) in conjunction with BMI measurements. The data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The findings indicated a statistically significant relationship between sedentary lifestyle levels and BMI (p = 0.037). The prevalence of overweight was documented at 11.6% within the low sedentary group, rising to 16.3% in the moderate sedentary group and ultimately reaching 25.2% in the high sedentary group. These results suggest that, despite the statistical significance of the relationship, a sedentary lifestyle remains a considerable factor influencing students' nutritional status. In conclusion, it is essential to implement promotional initiatives that enhance students' awareness of the importance of physical activity in reducing the risk of overweight.

Abstract

Improvements in the utilization of the Sepekan application within the Gresik Regency are crucial to determining the extent of its proper implementation. This study aims to assess the usage of the "SEPEKAN" application, specifically regarding user discipline, in submitting final reports for completed activities. Sepekan is a web-based application designed to provide services to the Gresik community, particularly students, in connection with internship programs in the Gresik Regency. The sampling method employed in this study was total sampling. The respondents' ages ranged from 19 to 88 years, with the most significant representation coming from self-employed individuals, totalling 453 respondents. Subsequent analyses indicated a significant relationship between the purpose of using the website and user discipline, with a p-value of 0.00. Several facilitating factors or triggers for indiscipline were identified, notably variations in gender and age, which correlate with different levels of discipline. The results revealed that male users exhibited greater discipline compared to their female counterparts. At the same time, adolescents demonstrated higher levels of discipline among SEPEKAN users, although discipline also persisted among older individuals. Furthermore, there is a pressing need for enhanced communication, including cautionary messages through the web or stricter regulations for the timely submission of BAPPEDA files, to ensure the continuity of relevant agency agendas.

Abstract

Helplessness is a phenomenon that can impact individuals across all age groups, including both the young and the elderly. Specifically, adolescents and adults often experience feelings of helplessness due to their perceived limitations in accessing education, employment, and economic opportunities. This study employs a quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional design aimed at preventing the onset of psychological disorders among individuals residing in the industrially affected regions. Data collection was executed through a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The study's population comprised 1,580 individuals from the industrial area of Driyorejo District in Gresik Regency. A statistically significant p-value of 0.00 (p < 0.05) was obtained, demonstrating a correlation between feelings of helplessness and employment status. Furthermore, both internal and external factors contribute to the emergence of helplessness among civil servants. Therefore, governmental authorities must devise and implement strategies to mitigate mental health disorders that may arise among residents adversely affected by industrial operations.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common psychological issue experienced by patients undergoing hospitalization, particularly those diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), due to prolonged treatment periods and fear of stigma. As much as health education has been proposed as a potential intervention, research conducted so far is limited and varies in study methodology, and thus it's difficult to make conclusions. Further, there is no synthesized evidence regarding the impact of formal health education on anxiety among hospitalized TB patients, particularly where there is cultural diversity. This study aims to review the effect of health education interventions on anxiety levels in  TB patients. A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Literature was identified through PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest databases.  Inclusion criteria: RCTs or quasi-experimental studies involving pulmonary TB patients, evaluating the effect of health education on anxiety compared to other psychological interventions. Fifteen articles met the eligibility criteria and were included for analysis. The reviews summarized between 2019 and 2024 consistently showed that health education significantly reduces anxiety in hospital-admitted TB patients. This review update encapsulates the up-to-date evidence, expanding on the earlier work by adding recent evidence, mentioning varied forms such as single sessions, multimedia gadgets, and culturally sensitive materials. The findings highlight the importance of integrating health education as part of comprehensive TB care to address psychological distress and improve treatment outcomes.
