Abstract

The use of WhatsApp (WA) in the health sector is increasingly widespread for communication, education, and intervention. Yet, systematic and updated bibliometric analyses of global trends remain limited, particularly those covering post-2023 developments and comparing contributions between high-income and developing countries. This study aims to systematically map and analyze the international landscape of WA-based health research published between 2015 and 2025. We employed a bibliometric research design with data sourced from the Scopus database, using the keywords "WhatsApp" AND "health". A total of 50 relevant articles were analyzed using descriptive statistics and VOSviewer software to visualize networks. The findings indicate that the use of WA as a health communication tool is firmly established. Publication trends indicate growth, with the COVID-19 pandemic serving as a significant catalyst that has driven the exploration of WA for remote healthcare services. The five most productive countries are India, Saudi Arabia (with five articles each), Brazil, Malaysia, and Indonesia (with four articles each). The most influential themes centered on the benefits of WA in clinical practice and the enhancement of supervision for community health workers. In conclusion, WA is proven to be a vital health communication tool, and the future direction of research is expected to increasingly focus on establishing its effectiveness, testing service models, and its broader, more systematic integration into the digital health ecosystem.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health problem. Although bacteriological cure can be achieved, many post-tuberculosis patients experience persistent residual symptoms and a decline in quality of life.  Objective: This study aimed to identify factors associated with quality of life among post-tuberculosis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 54 post-tuberculosis patients in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Quality of life was assessed using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Bivariate and multivariate analyses (linear regression) were performed to identify factors associated with quality of life. Results: The median SGRQ score was 42.8 (IQR: 12.5–68.3). Fatigue was reported in 20.4% of participants. Multivariate analysis showed that fatigue was the dominant independent predictor (B=28.5, β=0.412, p=0.008), explaining 38.0% of the variance in SGRQ scores.. Conclusion: Fatigue is the dominant independent predictor of impaired quality of life in post-tuberculosis patients. Comprehensive care programs that include fatigue assessment and management are needed to improve the quality of life of TB survivors.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, often associated with psychological distress that worsens clinical outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) on psychological distress and clinical outcomes in women with preeclampsia. A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 60 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia who were randomly assigned into two groups: intervention (MBT + standard care) and control (standard care only). MBT was delivered in six sessions over three weeks, focusing on mindfulness breathing, body scanning, and acceptance strategies. Psychological distress was measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), while clinical parameters included systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and proteinuria level. The results showed a significant reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression scores (p < 0.05) in the intervention group compared to the control group. Clinically, the intervention group demonstrated better blood pressure control and reduced proteinuria. Mindfulness-Based Therapy effectively reduces psychological distress and improves clinical outcomes in preeclampsia. Integrating mindfulness interventions into antenatal care could enhance maternal well-being and pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract

High cholesterol or dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 39% of adults worldwide have total cholesterol levels above safe limits, with more than 4.4 million deaths each year directly related to increased LDL cholesterol levels and decreased HDL. Global trends show a significant increase in the prevalence of dyslipidemia in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, driven by changes in diet, urbanization, and decreased physical activity. At the national level, Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) and the Indonesian Nutrition Status Study (SSGI) report show that the prevalence of high cholesterol in Indonesia has continued to increase over the past decade. This study analyzed factors affecting high cholesterol using logistic regression in groups of women and men. The variables tested included blood pressure, body weight, and fasting blood sugar. Using data from 276 employees of a public health polytechnic in Makassar (January–June 2025), separate logistic regression models for women and men revealed that blood pressure was a significant predictor in both groups (ORwomen = 6.48, ORmen = 7.04), while fasting blood sugar was significant only in women (OR = 5.26). The results show that blood pressure is a significant predictor in both groups, while fasting blood sugar is significant only in women. The model explained 50.7% of variance in women versus 39.0% in men. The prediction model shows higher accuracy in women. These findings have important implications for gender-based dyslipidemia prevention efforts.
