Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global mortality, accounting for approximately 20.5 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. Elevated cholesterol is a major modifiable risk factor contributing to atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke. In Southeast Asia, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia continues to rise alongside increasing non-communicable diseases. Optimal statin therapy requires adequate patient knowledge to ensure adherence and prevent inappropriate use. This study aimed to determine the level of patient knowledge regarding the use of simvastatin at a community pharmacy in Makassar, Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2024 at Abifayruz Pharmacy. A total of 25 adult patients who had received simvastatin were recruited using incidental sampling. Knowledge was assessed using a 10-item structured questionnaire based on the Guttman scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression. Effect sizes were reported as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: Overall, 90% of respondents demonstrated high knowledge. In multivariable analysis, no independent variable was significantly associated with high knowledge (e.g., male sex AOR=1.89; 95% CI: 0.11–31.2; p=0.662). Wide confidence intervals reflected limited precision due to a small sample size. Conclusion: Although overall knowledge was high, specific gaps in long-term adherence and in recognizing adverse effects remain. Strengthening pharmacist-led counseling protocols in community pharmacies may enhance medication literacy and support cardiovascular disease prevention strategies

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent health literacy remains a critical determinant of dietary behavior, particularly in the context of unhealthy snack consumption. The widespread use of social media offers a strategic opportunity for delivering health education. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Instagram-based healthy snack education using video and comic media on adolescents’ health literacy, specifically knowledge and attitudes. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a time-series approach was conducted among 40 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling at SMP Negeri 1 Mamasa, Indonesia. Participants were divided into two intervention groups (video and comic). Data were collected at four time points (pre-test and three post-tests) using validated questionnaires. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Friedman test, Wilcoxon post hoc test, and generalized estimating equation (GEE), with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Both interventions significantly improved knowledge and attitudes (p < 0.001). Video-based education showed faster initial improvement in knowledge (β = 1.45; 95% CI: 0.72–2.18), while comic-based education demonstrated more stable improvements in attitudes (β = 1.12; 95% CI: 0.60–1.64). Repeated exposure significantly enhanced outcomes over time (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Instagram-based health education effectively improves adolescents’ health literacy. Integrating video and comic media within sustained digital interventions is recommended to optimize both cognitive and attitudinal outcomes. These findings support the implementation of scalable, social media-based health promotion strategies in school settings

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension remains one of the leading chronic conditions affecting older adults and requires sustained self-care adherence to prevent cardiovascular and renal complications. Multiple behavioral factors influence adherence, yet evidence regarding the contribution of knowledge, attitudes, and motivation among Indonesian older adults remains limited. This study aimed to examine the associations between knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and self-care adherence among older adults with hypertension in Palu, Indonesia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted between May and June 2026 involving 72 older adults with hypertension selected through accidental sampling from a population of 250 eligible patients. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes, motivation, and self-care adherence. Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics, while Chi-square tests and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate associations. Statistical significance was established at p<0.05. Results: Most participants demonstrated good knowledge (59.7%), positive attitudes (62.5%), high motivation (66.7%), and adherence to hypertension self-care (63.9%). Good knowledge was significantly associated with greater adherence (OR=9.77; 95% CI: 3.05–31.35; p<0.001). Participants with positive attitudes were more likely to adhere to recommended self-care practices (OR=12.89; 95% CI: 3.85–43.17; p<0.001). High motivation showed the strongest association with adherence (OR=35.00; 95% CI: 8.36–146.59; p<0.001). Conclusion: Knowledge, positive attitudes, and motivation were significantly associated with self-care adherence among older adults with hypertension. Strengthening patient education, motivational counseling, family engagement, and continuous follow-up may improve long-term adherence and contribute to better hypertension management in primary healthcare settings

Abstract

Introduction: Nurses’ performance is a key determinant of hospital service quality, patient safety, and continuity of care. In regional hospitals, an imbalance between workload, motivation, and job satisfaction may affect the quality of nursing performance. This study aimed to analyse the influence of workload, work motivation, and job satisfaction on nurses’ performance quality at Mamuju Tengah Regional Public Hospital in Indonesia. Research Methodology: This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 103 nurses were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measuring workload, work motivation, job satisfaction, and nurses’ performance quality. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis was conducted using ordinal logistic regression at α = 0.05. Results: Workload was not significantly associated with nurses’ performance quality (p = 0.410). In contrast, work motivation and job satisfaction showed significant effects on nurses’ performance quality (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively). Ordinal logistic regression indicated that work motivation and job satisfaction remained significant predictors of nurses’ performance quality. Moderate work motivation had an estimated coefficient of β = −2.930 (p = 0.001), while high work motivation had a coefficient of β = −2.779 (p < 0.001). Moderate job satisfaction showed β = −3.520 (p = 0.004), and high job satisfaction showed β = −2.697 (p = 0.022). The model demonstrated acceptable explanatory power, with a Nagelkerke R² of 0.466. Conclusion: Work motivation and job satisfaction were the most influential factors associated with nurses’ performance quality. Hospital management should strengthen motivational strategies, fair reward systems, career development, and supportive work environments to improve nursing performance and sustain healthcare service quality.

Abstract

Introduction: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) continue to pose significant health risks among adolescents, partly due to inadequate access to accurate health information and limited health literacy. Digital media has emerged as a promising platform for health promotion, yet evidence regarding its effectiveness in enhancing adolescent health literacy specifically related to STD prevention remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital media-based health education in improving adolescent health literacy regarding the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Research Methodology: A quasi-experimental study employing a pretest–posttest control-group design was conducted among 142 adolescents aged 15–19 years recruited from selected senior high schools in Makassar, Indonesia. Participants were allocated into intervention (n = 71) and control (n = 71) groups. The intervention group received digital media-based health education through educational videos, infographics, and interactive online modules for four weeks, while the control group received conventional health education. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired and independent t-tests, chi-square tests, and multiple linear regression using SPSS version 29.0. Results: Health literacy scores in the intervention group increased significantly from 63.1 ± 8.2 to 82.7 ± 7.4 (p < 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant improvement (62.4 ± 8.5 to 66.1 ± 8.3; p = 0.056). Post-intervention scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (82.7 ± 7.4 vs. 66.1 ± 8.3; p < 0.001). A large intervention effect was observed (Cohen’s d = 1.91). Multiple linear regression identified digital media intervention as the strongest predictor of post-intervention health literacy (β = 0.503, p < 0.001), with the model explaining 49% of outcome variance (R² = 0.49). Conclusion: Digital media-based health education is highly effective in improving adolescent health literacy related to STD prevention. Integrating evidence-based digital health education into school and community health programs may strengthen preventive behaviors, expand access to reliable sexual health information, and support adolescent health promotion efforts.

Abstract

Introduction: Mental health has become a major global public health concern due to its increasing prevalence and its profound social, economic, and healthcare consequences. Although the volume of mental health research has expanded substantially, evidence remains fragmented across disciplines, populations, and thematic areas. This systematic review aimed to map the global landscape of mental health research by identifying emerging trends, key determinants, health policy implications, and future research directions. Research Methodology: A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2020 and 2025. After duplicate records were removed and eligibility was assessed, 100 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final synthesis. Data were extracted using a standardized form and analyzed through narrative thematic synthesis. Results: From 1,450 records initially identified, 100 studies were included in the final review. The findings revealed four dominant research themes: social and economic determinants (28%), environmental factors (19%), digital technology and mental health (17%), and health policy and service delivery (12%). Socioeconomic disadvantage, housing insecurity, limited social support, and educational and occupational stress emerged as the most frequently reported risk factors. Access to green spaces and community support were consistently associated with improved psychological well-being. The review also identified a growing interest in digital mental health interventions and artificial intelligence applications, while highlighting persistent gaps in policy implementation and equitable access to mental health services. Conclusion: Mental health outcomes are shaped by interconnected social, environmental, technological, and policy-related factors. Effective responses require integrated and multisectoral strategies that address structural determinants while strengthening mental health systems. Future policies should prioritize equitable access to services, community-based interventions, and evidence-informed decision-making to improve mental health outcomes globally

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an increasingly prevalent non-communicable disease among young adults, driven by unhealthy lifestyles, physical inactivity, and poor dietary habits. Social media has emerged as a widely accessible platform for health promotion, offering opportunities to disseminate preventive health information and encourage healthy behavior. This study aimed to examine the effect of health campaigns delivered via social media on diabetes prevention behaviour among young adults. Research Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Makassar, Indonesia, between January and March 2026. A total of 176 young adults aged 18–35 years were recruited using stratified random sampling. Data were collected via a validated online questionnaire assessing exposure to social media health campaigns and diabetes prevention behaviours. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were performed using SPSS version 29.0, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 24.8 ± 4.3 years, and 58.0% were female. Exposure to social media health campaigns was positively correlated with diabetes prevention behavior (r = 0.542, p < 0.001). Multivariable linear regression showed that social media campaign exposure was the strongest predictor of diabetes prevention behavior (β = 0.468, 95% CI: 0.321–0.615, p < 0.001), followed by education level (β = 0.183, p = 0.006), daily social media use (β = 0.142, p = 0.024), and family history of diabetes (β = 0.116, p = 0.038). The final model explained 41.8% of the variance in preventive behavior (Adjusted R² = 0.418). Conclusion: Social media health campaigns are significantly associated with improved diabetes-prevention behaviours among young adults. Integrating evidence-based digital health communication into diabetes prevention programs may strengthen public health efforts to reduce future disease burden and promote healthier lifestyles among younger populations

Abstract

Introduction: Childhood diarrhea remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries despite the widespread implementation of health promotion initiatives through primary healthcare services. While previous studies have largely evaluated intervention effectiveness using quantitative indicators, there is limited evidence on how community-based health promotion programs are implemented in routine primary healthcare settings. This study aimed to explore the implementation of community-based health promotion programs to prevent childhood diarrhoea from multiple stakeholders' perspectives. Research Methodology: A qualitative descriptive study with an interpretive approach was conducted between January and March 2026 in the working area of Bontomangape Primary Health Center, Takalar Regency, Indonesia. Twenty-five purposively selected informants, including healthcare managers, health promotion officers, healthcare professionals, community health volunteers, and mothers of children under five years, participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews. Non-participant observations and document reviews were used to strengthen data triangulation. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-phase Reflexive Thematic Analysis supported by NVivo Release 14. Trustworthiness was established through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. Results: Four interconnected themes emerged: implementation of community-based health promotion activities, perceived program benefits, barriers to implementation, and strategies for program strengthening. Participants reported that health education, home visits, and Posyandu activities improved caregivers' knowledge and preventive practices. However, workforce shortages, limited educational resources, and inconsistent community participation constrained program sustainability. Data saturation was achieved after the twenty-third interview and confirmed through two additional interviews. Conclusion: Community-based health promotion is an essential component of childhood diarrhoea prevention but requires stronger organisational capacity, sustained community engagement, and intersectoral collaboration to maximise its effectiveness. Strengthening primary healthcare systems through context-sensitive, community-centred health promotion strategies may improve program sustainability and help reduce the burden of preventable childhood diarrhoea

Abstract

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in rapidly urbanizing communities where unhealthy lifestyles and limited health literacy increase disease risk. Although health literacy has been recognized as an important determinant of health, the behavioral mechanisms through which it influences NCD risk remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine the relationships between health literacy, preventive behavior, and NCD risk among adults living in urban communities and to determine the mediating role of preventive behavior. Research Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 450 adults residing in urban communities of Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Participants were selected using multistage probability sampling. Health literacy, preventive behavior, and NCD risk were measured using validated instruments. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 was applied to evaluate the measurement and structural models. Direct, indirect, and total effects were estimated using bootstrapping with 5,000 resamples, and statistical significance was established at p < 0.05. Results: The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity (Cronbach's α = 0.87–0.92, Composite Reliability = 0.90–0.94, AVE = 0.60–0.68). Health literacy showed a significant positive association with preventive behavior (β = 0.724, 95% CI: 0.648–0.793; p < 0.001) and a significant direct negative association with NCD risk (β = −0.214, 95% CI: −0.357 to −0.082; p = 0.003). Preventive behavior exerted the strongest negative effect on NCD risk (β = −0.531, 95% CI: −0.639 to −0.422; p < 0.001). The indirect effect of health literacy on NCD risk through preventive behavior was statistically significant (β = −0.384, 95% CI: −0.461 to −0.302; p < 0.001), indicating partial mediation. Conclusion: Health literacy contributes to reducing NCD risk primarily by promoting healthier preventive behaviors. Strengthening health literacy should therefore be integrated into community-based NCD prevention strategies alongside interventions that support sustainable healthy lifestyles. These findings provide evidence for developing health policies that combine health literacy improvement with behavioral interventions to reduce the growing burden of NCDs in urban populations.
