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.

Abstract

Background: Dry eye disease is a common ocular health problem that can impair comfort, visual performance, and work productivity, particularly in occupational environments. Aim: This study aimed to analyze factors associated with the occurrence of dry eye disease among educational staff at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using structured questionnaires and standardized symptom assessment to evaluate sex, age, duration of digital device use, air conditioner exposure, smoking habits, and dry eye disease status, followed by bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses. Results: Smoking habits and air conditioner exposure were associated with a statistically significant increase in the occurrence of dry eye disease. Age did not demonstrate a significant association but tended to aggravate the effects of other risk factors. Sex and duration of digital device use were not significantly associated with dry eye disease; however, female sex and excessive digital device use appeared to increase susceptibility. Conclusions: Environmental and lifestyle factors, particularly smoking exposure and prolonged use of air conditioners, play an important role in the development of dry eye disease among educational staff. Implication: These findings highlight the need for preventive strategies that improve workplace environmental conditions and promote healthier lifestyle behaviors to reduce the burden of dry eye disease in occupational settings.

Abstract

Background. Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major public health problem in Indonesia, with a significant trend of increasing cases in recent years. The success of TB treatment is highly dependent on the patient's compliance in taking Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (OAT) regularly and completely. Purpose. This study aims to analyze factors related to medication adherence to tuberculosis patients in the working area of the Darma Health Center, Kuningan Regency. Method. This study uses an observational analytical design with a bivariate approach. The sampling technique used a total sampling of 90 TB patients. Data was collected using standardized questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, then analyzed using Chi-Square and Odds Ratio (OR) tests. Results. The results showed that family support, access to health facilities, attitudes, and knowledge levels had a significant relationship with medication adherence (p < 0.05). Lack of family support increased the risk of non-compliance by 6.7 times, difficult access to health facilities increased the risk by 7.1 times, less positive attitudes by 5.9 times, and lack of knowledge by 11 times. Meanwhile, the role of health workers and motivation did not show a significant relationship with medication adherence. Conclusion. The conclusions of this study confirm that social, behavioral, and cognitive factors have an important role in determining TB treatment adherence. Implementation. TB control interventions need to focus on improving patient education, strengthening family support, and improving access to health services to increase the success of tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract

Background. Pulau Pasaran, Teluk Betung Barat, Bandar Lampung, has an important role in supporting the fisheries sector and has been designated as a minapolitan area. This region is vulnerable to heavy metal contamination due to anthropogenic activities such as domestic and industrial waste. Aims. This study aims to analyze the concentration of heavy metal copper (Cu) in seawater and blood cockles in the waters of Pulau Pasaran, Bandar Lampung, and to calculate the bioconcentration factor (BCF) as an indicator of the potential accumulation of these metals in marine organisms. Methods. Samples were collected using a purposive sampling method during November–December 2025 at three locations: the Belau River estuary area, residential areas, and mangrove areas. Seawater and blood cockle samples were analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) method in accordance with SNI 6989-82:2018 standards. Result. The results showed that Cu concentrations in blood cockles ranged from 0.936 to 1.303 mg/kg, which are still below the quality standard threshold based on the Decree of the Director General of BPOM No. 03725/B/SK/VII/89. Meanwhile, Cu concentrations in seawater ranged from <0.003 mg/L and remained below the threshold established by Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 22 of 2021. The BCF values were classified as moderate accumulation (209.46–422.56), falling within the range of 100–1000 L/kg, with the highest value observed in the mangrove area. Conclusion. The results indicate that Pulau Pasaran waters are moderately contaminated with heavy metals, and that blood cockles can still be used as bioindicator organisms for monitoring heavy metal accumulation in aquatic environments.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia recorded a stunting prevalence of 19.8% (SSGI 2024), down from 21.5% in 2023, but still far from the 2029 RPJMN target of 14.2%. At the same time, the prevalence of anemia in school-age children (5–14 years old) was recorded at 20.6% (Riskesdas, 2018), and in adolescents aged 15–24 years, at 15.5% (SKI, 2023). The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program, launched by the government in January 2025, targets 82.9 million beneficiaries, including elementary and high school students, but its impact on nutritional status and hemoglobin levels has not been systematically measured empirically. Objective: To analyze the relationship between exposure to school feeding programs to nutritional status (z-score TB/U, BB/U, BB/TB) and hemoglobin levels of elementary school children aged 6–12 years in Indonesia, as well as identify determinants of nutrition that can be strengthened through the design of the MBG program. Methods: Quantitative research with a cross-sectional design used SSGI 2024 secondary data (n = 298,903 toddlers) combined with school-age children's supplement data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI). The analysis used multivariate logistic regression to identify determinants of stunting and anemia, with stratification by urban-rural area, household expenditure group, and access to government nutrition programs. Results: Children from households with access to institutional nutrition programs had a significantly lower stunting OR of 0.72 (95%CI: 0.68–0.76) and an anemic OR of 0.68 (95%CI: 0.63–0.74) compared to the group without access. Food diversity (dietary diversity score ≥5) was associated with protection against stunting (AOR 0.61; 95% CI: 0.56–0.67). The six provinces with the largest stunting burden accounted for 50% of the total national cases: West Java (638,000 children under five), Central Java (485,893), East Java (430,780), North Sumatra (316,456), NTT (214,143), and Banten (209,600). Conclusion: School-based feeding programs have significant potential to reduce the burden of stunting and anemia in school-age children, especially if they include adequate food diversity. The MBG design, which ensures that one serving meets at least 1/3 of the daily Nutritional Adequacy Rate (AKG) with iron content ≥5 mg and animal protein, can be a catalyst for accelerating stunting reduction towards the RPJMN target of 14.2% by 2029.
