Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) requires long-term management through effective self-management and health monitoring. Poor self-management and irregular monitoring may result in uncontrolled blood glucose and increased complications. This study aimed to describe self-management and adherence to health monitoring among patients with T2DM in Primary Health Care Center X, Surakarta, Indonesia, and identify the strongest and weakest self-management dimensions. A descriptive quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2026 involving 324 patients with T2DM recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA), and a health monitoring adherence questionnaire based on primary health care standards and Prolanis guidelines. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. From this study, most respondents were aged 56–69 years (69.8%), male (62.7%), worked in the informal sector (75.0%), and had diabetes for 5–8 years (72.5%). Complications were reported by 75 respondents (23.1%), 65 (20.1%) were enrolled in Prolanis, and 148 (45.7%) had a history of smoking and/or obesity. Overall self-management was moderate (54.3%). Medication adherence was strongest (mean = 5.8 days/week, SD = 1.4), whereas physical activity, blood glucose self-monitoring, and foot care were weakest (means = 2.3, 2.8, and 2.1 days/week). Monitoring adherence was suboptimal, with 222 respondents (68.5%) non-adherent. Monitoring focused mainly on blood glucose testing (75%), while HbA1c testing (8%) and complication screening (5%) were rarely performed. These findings highlight self-management was moderate, whereas monitoring adherence remained low. Strengthening education and follow-up monitoring systems is recommended to improve diabetes management in primary health care.

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a major microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and is closely related to metabolic disturbances and sociodemographic factors. This study aimed to analyze the association between sociodemographic characteristics, health protocol compliance, and metabolic profile parameters among patients with diabetic retinopathy. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 45 diabetic retinopathy patients at two hospitals in Samarinda, Indonesia, during November 2020. Sociodemographic data, serological status, mask types, health protocol compliance scores, and metabolic profile parameters were collected. Female participants slightly predominated (53.3%), and most participants were aged <60 years (71.1%). Educational level was significantly associated with health protocol compliance score (p = 0.008), with higher educational attainment related to better health protocol compliance. Age was significantly associated with HbA1c (p = 0.006), FBG (p = 0.008), and 2hPPBG (p = 0.045). Occupation was significantly associated with TC/HDL (p = 0.008) and LDL/HDL ratios (p = 0.019), while gender was associated with the TC/HDL ratio (p = 0.048). No significant associations were identified between serological status or mask types and metabolic profile parameters. These findings suggest that sociodemographic characteristics, particularly educational level, age, and occupation, may be associated with differences in health behavior and metabolic profiles among patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract

Burnout syndrome is a multifaceted occupational health concern characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal accomplishment. Its prevalence is increasing among nursing lecturers in academic environments. Within Islamic higher education institutions, nursing lecturers are responsible for teaching, research, community service, and religious obligations. This extensive workload may elevate the risk of burnout. The present study investigated the associations between physical activity, mental workload, and burnout syndrome among nursing lecturers at Islamic higher education institutions in West Java, Indonesia. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational methodology with a cross-sectional design was employed. All 90 permanent Nursing Lecturers from six Islamic nursing programs participated. Physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), mental workload with the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), and burnout with the Maslach-Trisni Burnout Inventory (M-TBI; validity = 0.931; Cronbach’s α = 0.916). Data collection was conducted via a structured online questionnaire and analyzed using Kendall’s tau-b correlation (p < 0.05). The majority of participants reported low physical activity (84.4%), moderate mental workload (47.8%), and moderate burnout (60.0%). Statistical analysis indicated no significant association between physical activity and burnout (τ = 0.071; p = 0.493), nor between mental workload and burnout (τ = 0.061; p = 0.540). These findings suggest that in this population, neither physical activity nor mental workload is significantly associated with burnout syndrome. Other organizational or individual factors may contribute more substantially to burnout among Nursing Lecturers. Addressing burnout in this context requires comprehensive institutional strategies, such as workload management, promotion of physical activity, and provision of psychosocial support.

Abstract

Low reproductive health literacy and healthy behavior among Indonesian adolescents remains a major challenge in the digital era, especially amid the widespread circulation of invalid information. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a digital-based reproductive health education model in improving adolescents' literacy and healthy behavior, while also exploring students' needs, barriers, and expectations. A sequential explanatory design was used across two phases. Phase I used a quasi-experimental approach involving 100 junior and senior high school students in Bandung (50 intervention; 50 control). Literacy and behavior were measured before, after, and three months post-intervention using valid and reliable instruments (CVI 0.87; α>0.8). Phase II used focus group discussions with 8 adolescents and interviews with 8 stakeholders, which were analyzed thematically. Results showed a significant increase in reproductive health literacy in the intervention group (52.3±12.1 to 78.9±9.8; p<0.001) and in healthy behavior (+21.4%; p=0.003), with a large clinical effect (Cohen's d=1.15) that was sustained for three months. Perceived benefits, peer support, and curriculum integration were key success factors. Qualitative findings highlighted the need for relevant content, interactive features, ease of access, privacy protection, and online counseling services, while limited digital access and infrastructure remained barriers. In conclusion, digital-based reproductive health education is effective and well received by adolescents, and its national implementation requires curriculum integration, equitable digital access, support services, and multisectoral collaboration.
