Abstract

Unwanted pregnancy (UP) among adolescents is a reproductive health problem that affects physical, psychological, social, and economic aspects. Adolescents often lack knowledge about pregnancy and reproductive health. Therefore, effective educational methods, such as video media, are needed to increase adolescent girls’ understanding of UP. This study used a quantitative pretest-posttest design without a control group. Forty-eight ninth-grade students at SMPN 1 Sliyeg were the respondents. Data was collected using a questionnaire before and after intervention using educational video. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon test to see the difference in knowledge levels. The pretest results showed that 66.7% of respondents had poor knowledge, and none had good knowledge. After the intervention, all respondents (100%) had good knowledge. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference. Therefore, educational video is effective in increasing knowledge of adolescent girls regarding unwanted pregnancy.

Abstract

Galangal (Kaempferia galanga L.) is a herbal plant known to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities. The use of galangal extract in topical pharmaceutical preparations such as ointments, gels, and creams requires attention to the physical stability of the preparation to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the product. This study aims to examine the physical stability of various forms of galangal extract-based preparations through literature studies from three relevant journals. The method used is a descriptive literature study by analyzing the results of physical stability tests (organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, and viscosity) of ointments, gels, and creams. The results of the study showed that the gel form with a carbopol base provided the best overall physical stability, followed by an ointment with a water-washed base. Meanwhile, sunscreen cream made from galangal and seaweed showed quite good stability, although its spreadability and adhesion still need to be improved. This study provides an overview that the form and composition of the preparation greatly affect the physical stability of galangal extract, as well as the importance of choosing the right base in the formulation.

Abstract

This study conducts an in-depth examination of the structural gaps in mental health policies within conflict-affected countries in the Middle East region, employing a systematic meta-synthesis approach to analyze 87 primary studies published between 2015 and 2024. Findings reveal that only 23.4% of these countries possess mental health policies that can be classified as comprehensive. In comparison, the average budget allocation for this sector accounts for merely 2.1% of total national health expenditures. In terms of affected populations, the prevalence of mental disorders is alarmingly high, recorded at 41.3% among refugees and 37.8% among residents living amidst protracted conflict. Through logistic regression analysis, a highly significant correlational relationship was identified between conflict intensity and the severity of mental disorders (r = 0.78; p < 0.001), underscoring the systemic link between structural violence and collective psychosocial vulnerability. Furthermore, meta-regression successfully identified the five most dominant policy gaps: deficits in service infrastructure (76.5%), shortages of the professional workforce (68.2%), dysfunctions in referral systems (64.7%), limitations in funding (59.3%), and lack of intersectoral service integration (52.8%). This research not only extends the conceptual framework and empirical findings previously advanced by Sihombing et al. (2025) and Akhtar et al. (2021) concerning the mental health impacts of conflict but also innovatively articulates region-specific patterns and identifies contextual moderator variables that influence policy implementation effectiveness. Thus, this study's methodological and conceptual novelty lies in formulating an evaluative framework grounded in empirical evidence, which integratively combines socio-political indicators with clinical mental health parameters, offering a comprehensive approach to assess and reform public policy in conflict-affected areas of the Middle East.

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) is a major concern in Indonesia due to its impact on neonatal health and growth. One of the contributing factors is maternal anemia during pregnancy, which limits oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maternal anemia and the incidence of LBW in the working area of the Cimerak Health Center, Pangandaran Regency. This research used a retrospective case-control design involving 124 mothers, divided into 62 cases and 62 controls. The results of the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between maternal anemia and the incidence of LBW (p = 0.000). It is concluded that maternal anemia is associated with a higher risk of LBW, thus emphasizing the need for improved maternal care and anemia prevention strategies.

Abstract

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a condition in which the sensory retina separates from the retinal pigment epithelium due to a retinal tear that allows vitreous fluid to accumulate in the subretinal space. It is an ophthalmologic emergency that may result in permanent blindness if not managed promptly and appropriately. This case report aims to describe the clinical course, diagnosis, and management of a 62-year-old male patient who presented with sudden blurred vision in the right eye, accompanied by floaters, photopsia, and discomfort. The patient had a history of bilateral cataracts and underwent vitrectomy. Data were collected from medical records and supporting examinations, confirming the diagnosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Management included topical therapy, systemic medication, bed rest, and surgical intervention. Clinical improvement was observed postoperatively. This report highlights the importance of early detection and timely treatment to preserve visual function.

Abstract

Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO), also known as secondary cataract, is the most common complication following cataract surgery, particularly extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE). PCO results from the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of residual lens epithelial cells within the posterior capsule, leading to the formation of structures such as Elsching pearls and Soemmering rings. The incidence of PCO is notably high among pediatric patients due to the increased mitotic activity of lens epithelial cells. Major risk factors include younger age, certain ocular conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, as well as the design and material of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL). Diagnosis is established through slit-lamp and ophthalmoscopic examinations, with decreased visual acuity being the primary clinical symptom. The current mainstay of treatment is Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, which is effective and minimally invasive but may be associated with complications such as cystoid macular edema and retinal detachment. Preventive strategies focus on improved surgical techniques and appropriate IOL selection. With proper intervention, the incidence of PCO can be reduced, thereby improving postoperative visual outcomes.

Abstract

Natural and non-natural disasters significantly disrupt healthcare systems, particularly obstetric and gynecological services, which are highly vulnerable to service interruptions and quality decline. Pregnant women, postpartum mothers, and newborns face an increased risk of complications and mortality without adequate medical care. Health professionals play a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of reproductive health services through the implementation of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP), emergency management, health education, and intersectoral coordination. However, challenges such as limited resources, psychological pressure, and lack of specialized training hinder optimal performance. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of healthcare workers, enhancing disaster preparedness, providing adequate logistics, and enacting supportive governmental policies are essential to maintain effective obstetric-gynecological care during crises. This literature review comprehensively discusses the role of health workers in ensuring reproductive health services in disaster settings as a strategy to improve access and service quality during emergencies.
