Abstract

Background. Film as a mass communication medium plays a strategic role in conveying mental health messages to the public. One Indonesian film that raises this issue is Kukira Kau Rumah by Umay Shahab, which represents the experiences of individuals with bipolar disorder and depression through narrative, dialogue, and visual symbols. Aims. This study aims to analyze how mental health communication messages are constructed and conveyed in the film Kukira Kau Rumah, and how these messages are interpreted by the audience. Methods. This study uses a qualitative approach with content analysis, reinforced by audience reception analysis using Stuart Hall's encoding–decoding theory, Entman's framing theory, and Smith's communication stigma theory as supporting theories. Data were obtained through in-depth observation of the film and semi-structured interviews with three informants aged 20 to 23 who had watched the film. Result. The results show that the film Kukira Kau Rumah effectively conveys mental health communication messages through its depiction of emotional instability, bipolar depression, medical diagnosis, family pressure, and the importance of social support. Conclusion. The messages conveyed by the film are largely accepted by the audience, thereby building empathy, increasing understanding, and reducing stigma towards people with mental disorders. Implementation. This film can be viewed as an educational, humanistic, and relevant medium of health communication for the community, especially the younger generation.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) patients are vulnerable to sleep-disordered breathing, particularly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), due to chronic pulmonary inflammation, structural lung damage, and systemic metabolic disturbances. Alteration of total body fluid, especially extracellular fluid accumulation, may contribute to upper airway collapsibility through rostral fluid shift during sleep. However, evidence regarding the relationship between total body fluid and OSA risk in TB patients remains limited. Aim: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 85 TB patients selected using total sampling. OSA risk was assessed using the STOP-BANG questionnaire and categorized as mild, moderate, and severe. Total body water was measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and classified as low, normal, or high. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of OSA risk was high, with 34.1% mild, 32.9% moderate, and 32.9% severe. Most respondents had normal body fluid (68.2%), while 23.5% had high fluid levels. A significant association was found between OSA risk and total body fluid (p = 0.000). Patients with severe OSA showed a markedly higher proportion of fluid overload (46.6%) compared to those with mild OSA (10.3%). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between OSA risk and total body fluid in TB patients. Higher OSA severity is associated with increased likelihood of fluid overload. Assessment of hydration status should be included in TB management to reduce the risk of respiratory complications and sleep disturbances. Keywords: Pulmonary Tuberculosis, obstructive sleep apnea, total body fluid, bioelectrical impedance analysis, STOP-BANG.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional status, commonly assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI), is a key indicator of health among young adults. Modern sedentary lifestyles and increasing academic demands may contribute to imbalanced BMI, particularly among medical students who often experience limited physical activity. Aim: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of Body Mass Index based on physical activity levels among medical students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia, Class of 2022. Methods: A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 84 medical students selected through simple random sampling. Body weight and height were measured to calculate BMI, which was categorized according to WHO criteria. Physical activity levels were assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and classified into low, moderate, and high activity based on MET-minutes per week. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented as frequencies and percentages. Results: Most respondents were female (75.0%) and aged 20–22 years. The majority had a normal BMI (42.9%); however, substantial proportions were underweight (23.8%) or obese (19.1%). Physical activity levels were predominantly low (44.0%) or moderate (40.5%), with only 15.5% reporting high activity. Students with moderate physical activity tended to have normal BMI, whereas low physical activity was more frequently observed among underweight and obese students. Higher BMI categories were generally associated with lower physical activity levels. Conclusion: Most medical students exhibited low to moderate physical activity, accompanied by varied BMI profiles. These findings highlight the importance of promoting regular physical activity to support optimal nutritional status among medical students.

Abstract

Background: Physical inactivity contributes to central obesity and metabolic disorders among young adults with sedentary academic lifestyles. Waist–Hip Ratio (WHR) is a sensitive indicator of abdominal fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk, and medical students are particularly vulnerable due to demanding study schedules. Aim: To analyze the relationship between physical activity level and WHR among medical students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia, Class of 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 80 students selected through simple random sampling. Physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and categorized as low, moderate, or high based on the MET-min/week metric. WHR was assessed using standardized anthropometry and classified according to the WHO Asian cut-offs. Data were analyzed using univariate statistics and the Chi-square test (p < 0.05). Results: Most respondents were female (75%) and aged 21 years (75%). Normal WHR was found in 62.5% of students, while 37.5% were classified as having central obesity. The majority engaged in moderate physical activity (61.3%), followed by low (20.0%) and high (18.8%) activity levels. A significant relationship was identified between physical activity level and WHR (p < 0.001). Students with low physical activity showed a higher proportion of central obesity (75.0%), whereas those with moderate and high activity were predominantly within normal WHR. Conclusion: Physical activity level is significantly associated with WHR among medical students. Promoting regular physical activity is essential to prevent central obesity and associated metabolic risks in this population.

Abstract

Background: The rapid increase in smartphone use among medical students has raised concerns about digital eye strain (asthenopia). Prolonged exposure to blue light from smartphone screens can lead to eye fatigue, including dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. Although smartphones are equipped with eye protection features, these are often underutilized. Aim: To examine the effect of smartphone eye protection features on asthenopia among medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group study involving 104 medical students evaluated the effect of activating the smartphone eye protection feature on asthenopia using the Visual Fatigue Index, with changes analyzed by the McNemar test (p < 0.05). Results: Prior to intervention, 71 respondents (68.3%) experienced asthenopia, while none used the eye protection feature. After intervention, among the 52 respondents who activated the eye protection feature, 35 (67.3%) showed improvement in asthenopia symptoms, while only 15 (28.8%) continued to experience eye fatigue (p < 0.001). Conversely, in the control group (n=52), 29 respondents (55.8%) who initially had no symptoms developed asthenopia, demonstrating a significant worsening of eye health (p < 0.001). The findings indicate a statistically significant reduction in asthenopia incidence among users of the eye protection feature. Conclusions: The use of smartphone eye protection features significantly reduces the incidence and severity of asthenopia among medical students with prolonged smartphone use. By filtering blue light, this feature improves visual comfort and serves as an effective and practical preventive measure against digital eye strain.

Abstract

Background. Menstrual cycle disruption is still a fairly high reproductive health problem in adolescents and young adults. Previous research showed that 38.6% of adolescents experienced irregular menstrual cycles, and 20.4% of them had experienced amenorrhea for ≥90 days. The regularity of the menstrual cycle is influenced by a variety of factors, including Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical activity. Aims. This study aims to analyze the interaction between Body Mass Index and physical activity on menstrual cycle patterns among regular female students at STIKes Muhammadiyah Cirebon in 2024. This study uses an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was proportional stratified sampling with a total of 155 female students. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Result. The results showed a significant relationship between Body Mass Index and menstrual cycle patterns (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). Meanwhile, physical activity showed no significant association with menstrual cycle patterns (p = 0.08; p > 0.05). These findings show that BMI status plays a more dominant role than physical activity in influencing menstrual cycle patterns among female students. Conclusion. The conclusion of this study is that there is a partial interaction between Body Mass Index and menstrual cycle patterns, but no significant relationship was found between physical activity and menstrual cycle patterns. Implementation. The results of this study can serve as the basis for promotive and preventive efforts to maintain optimal BMI and support the reproductive health of female students.
