Abstract

This study aims to identify the social factors that cause inequality in access to health services in the community and analyze the dynamics of interaction between medical personnel and patients that contribute to conflicts in the health sector. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews with five informants consisting of patients, medical personnel, and health facility managers. The results showed that socioeconomic inequality, educational level, geographical conditions, and uneven health policies are the main factors causing inequality in access to health services. In addition, ineffective communication dynamics, different expectations, and power imbalances between medical personnel and patients contribute significantly to conflicts in medical interactions. This study suggests the need for improvements in the distribution of health resources, increased public health literacy, and communication training for medical personnel to reduce inequality and prevent conflict. These findings are expected to provide insights for the development of more inclusive health policies and improve the relationship between medical personnel and patients.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between urban environmental degradation and community mental health disorders, focusing on the interdependence between the two. Environmental degradation, which includes air pollution, decreasing quality of green spaces, and increasing deterioration of city infrastructure, has been shown to contribute to a decline in the quality of life in urban environments. The impact on people's mental health, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, becomes more significant as environmental conditions worsen. Air quality degradation and lack of open space often affect psychological well-being, increase levels of discomfort, and worsen mental health conditions, especially among people living in more vulnerable areas. This research methodology uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional and longitudinal design to analyze the relationship between environmental degradation and mental health. The sampling technique used was stratified random sampling, where the population was divided based on the level of environmental degradation (high, medium, low) in major cities in South Sulawesi. The sample included approximately 500 respondents for the cross-sectional design and 200 respondents for the longitudinal design. Mental health was measured using standardized psychological questionnaires to evaluate levels of anxiety, stress, and depression, while environmental conditions were measured using parameters of air pollution, quality of green open spaces, and infrastructure degradation. The findings suggest that integrated environmental improvements, such as green open space management and pollution control, can improve the physical and psychological conditions of urban residents. This study recommends the design of more environmentally friendly urban policies to improve the quality of life and psychological well-being of city residents.
