Journal of Health Science and Medical Therapy (JHSMT) is an electronic, open-access, peer-reviewed journal. It publishes research articles in the areas of health policy, health planning, health system, and health care management, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries. The journal began its publication in 2023, and it is published twice yearly. JHSMT provides a platform for publishing original and high-quality research that addresses questions pertinent to policy-makers, healthcare managers, public health researchers, and healthcare practitioners. The journal covers a broad range of topics from different fields, notably health policy, health management, health economics, epide­mi­ology, social/public policy, and philosophy. JHSMT welcomes studies using multi­dis­cipli­nary or integrative approaches. Special encouragement is given to research papers addressing health issues in developing countries, as health policy and management issues impacting populations in the deve­lop­ing world are currently under-documented and underreported in the existing interna­tional journals.

Abstract

The risk of anemia in pregnant women is more severe if the hemoglobin level is less than 11 g/dL. Iron deficiency anemia is anemia that often occurs in pregnant women, generally due to deficiencies of key micronutrients in the hematopoiesis process, such as vitamin B12, folic acid, and iron. The purpose of this study was to examine the implementation of the consumption of Fe tablets and vitamin C on increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women at the Ikua Koto Community Health Center. The research design was a quasi-experiment, one group pre-test post-test design. With a sample of 30 respondents, with 2x observations, namely before and after the intervention. Statistical tests applied paired t-test tests. The analysis resulted in that the average hemoglobin level before the pre-test was 10.11 ± 0.49 g/dL, an increase of 11.04 ± 0.50 g/dL after treatment (post-test). The significance value obtained was p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), proving a significant difference in the variable hemoglobin levels before and after the intervention. It was concluded that consuming Fe tablets accompanied by vitamin C is very effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women.

Abstract

Academic stress is associated with dietary and lifestyle disturbances in university students, which can potentially impact their health and performance. This study examined the relationship between academic stress, eating habits, physical activity, and coping strategies among medical students at the Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo in Ecuador. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2025 with 137 students from all semesters. Two structured surveys were administered to estimate academic stress and eating habits, respectively. The majority (79.3%) consumed food outside of main meals, preferring products high in sugar and fat. Additionally, 46.6% increased their intake under stress, while 53.4% reduced it. Only 30.5% engaged in physical activity at least once a week. Passive strategies (social media, television) for coping with stress prevail, reinforcing unhealthy eating patterns. Academic stress influences the selection and frequency of food intake, favoring the consumption of ultra-processed foods and reducing physical activity. The design of nutritional education and stress management programs for medical students is recommended to improve their overall well-being.

Abstract

In the context of Vietnam's efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), improving the quality of the healthcare workforce, particularly in the pharmacy sector, plays a foundational role. This article analyzes the role of educational accreditation as a strategic tool for training a generation of pharmacists who meet the demands of sustainable development. Using a literature review method and analyzing policy documents, the paper clarifies the multidimensional relationship between accreditation of pharmacy training programs and the implementation of these goals, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages). The study indicates that, despite encouraging results (with 22 accredited pharmacy training programs by September 2024), the biggest challenge remains the shift from a “compliance” mindset to the creation of a true “quality culture” in training institutions, along with challenges related to resource limitations and the applicability of accreditation standards. Based on this, the paper proposes coordinated solutions involving government authorities, educational institutions, and society to improve the effectiveness of accreditation efforts, contributing to national healthcare security and promoting sustainable development.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders among office employees, particularly those exposed to prolonged static sitting and non-ergonomic working conditions. This condition not only affects individual health and functional capacity but also reduces work productivity and organizational performance. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the occurrence of low back pain among administrative employees at the Department of Education and Culture of Bukittinggi City. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from January to March 2025. A total of 40 administrative employees were recruited using total sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. LBP was assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), while working posture was evaluated using the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA). Data were analyzed using univariate descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests for bivariate analysis, and Firth’s penalized logistic regression for multivariate analysis. A significance level of p < 0.05 was applied. The prevalence of LBP was 72.5% for minimal complaints and 27.5% for moderate complaints. Bivariate analysis showed that age (p = 0.017) and working posture (p = 0.019) were significantly associated with LBP, whereas gender (p = 0.307) and length of employment (p = 0.465) were not statistically significant. Multivariate analysis identified non-ergonomic working posture as the most dominant factor associated with LBP (OR = 5.50; 95% CI: 1.23–24.51). Working posture is the primary factor associated with low back pain among administrative employees in Bukittinggi City. Ergonomic improvements and posture education are strongly recommended to reduce the risk of LBP in office-based work environments.

Abstract

Husband involvement is a critical determinant of Antenatal Care (ANC) compliance. In Padang Pariaman Regency, this involvement is uniquely shaped by the matrilineal culture through the concept of Urang Sumando, in which husbands are positioned as “guests” within the wife’s family, often limiting their authority in maternal health decision-making. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between husbands’ knowledge and attitudes and maternal ANC compliance within this specific cultural context. A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and August 2025 involving 100 pairs of pregnant women and their husbands. Husbands’ knowledge and attitudes were assessed using validated questionnaires, while ANC compliance was verified through an audit of the Maternal and Child Health Book. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The results showed that ANC compliance reached 71%, with 58% of husbands demonstrating good knowledge and 62% showing positive attitudes toward ANC. Good knowledge was significantly associated with ANC compliance (OR = 3.21; 95% CI 1.30–7.93; p = 0.009), as was a positive attitude (OR = 2.74; 95% CI 1.16–6.49; p = 0.019). After controlling for age, education, and living status with in-laws, both knowledge (aOR = 2.70; 95% CI 1.12–6.52; p = 0.027) and attitude (aOR = 2.33; 95% CI 1.03–5.25; p = 0.042) remained significant predictors of compliance. Living with in-laws tended to reduce the likelihood of ANC compliance, although this association was not statistically significant (aOR = 0.52; 95% CI 0.24–1.13; p = 0.097). In conclusion, husbands’ knowledge and attitudes play a significant role in improving ANC compliance. Educational interventions grounded in local wisdom and involving both husbands and extended family members are strongly recommended.
