Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by increased blood sugar levels caused by impaired insulin secretion and function or both. If left untreated, diabetes mellitus can cause various macro and microvascular complications and has high morbidity and mortality. DaIn Seyegan Health Center patient visits from January to October 2023 there were 11,583 visits for type 2 diabetes mellitus, of which 1,281 visits were for type 2 diabetes mellitus with complications. Research objectives: This study aims to assess the description of medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Seyegan Community Health Center. The design of this research is descriptive to see the picture of compliance with the use of oral anti- diabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Seyegan Community Health Center, Sleman Regency for the period November 2023. The sample for this study is outpatients at general polyclinics who suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus who included in the inclusion criteria. The measuring instrument used in this research is the MMAS-8 questionnaire. Based on an assessment using the MMAS-8 questionnaire, it was concluded that 26 (43.3%) respondents were considered to have low compliance in taking anti-diabetic drugs. Meanwhile, 14 (23.3%) respondents were considered to have moderate compliance and 20 (33.3%) respondents had high compliance in taking anti-diabetic drugs. Of the 60 respondents involved in the sample, 26 (43.3%) respondents were considered to still have low compliance in taking anti-diabetic drugs. Future researchers are advised to carry out an analysis of various factors that influence a person's taking medication and other factors such as family support and comorbid diseases.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health has become a critical public health priority in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet the use of professional services remains very limited. This study investigates patterns of help-seeking behavior and mental health service utilization among Indonesian adolescents, drawing on nationally representative data from the 2022 Indonesia National Adolescent Mental Health Survey (I-NAMHS). The main objective is to identify how adolescents access formal and informal support systems, and to analyze key barriers that prevent engagement with professional care. A cross-sectional design was applied to 7,866 adolescents aged 10–17 years across 34 provinces. Mental health status was assessed using DSM-5 criteria via the MINI-KID diagnostic tool, while help-seeking behavior was measured with structured questionnaires completed by adolescents and their caregivers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression to determine service utilization patterns and predictors. Results show that only 2.6% of adolescents with a diagnosed disorder accessed formal mental health services in the past year. In contrast, 43.8% sought help from family or friends and 38.2% accessed school-based counseling. Stigma (40%), limited service availability (25%), high costs (20%), and low awareness (15%) were identified as the main barriers. Service use was higher among urban adolescents, females, and those with better-informed caregivers, highlighting significant sociodemographic disparities. This study emphasizes the urgent need to expand adolescent mental health services in Indonesia. Practical implications include strengthening school-based interventions, implementing nationwide anti-stigma campaigns, and improving caregiver mental health literacy. Building culturally responsive and integrated systems of care is essential to close the treatment gap and ensure equitable access for all Indonesian adolescents.

Abstract

Obesity in Jakarta has reached one of the fastest growth rates in Indonesia, with prevalence now surpassing 40% among adults in certain districts higher than many other major cities in the country. This study provides new evidence on how socioeconomic, lifestyle, and environmental conditions uniquely shape obesity risk in Jakarta’s rapidly urbanizing context. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of adults aged 20–65 years from all five municipalities of Jakarta, using stratified random sampling to ensure representativeness. Data combined structured questionnaires on income, education, physical activity, sedentary time, and dietary patterns with direct anthropometric measurements. Logistic regression models were applied to identify the strongest predictors of obesity, with particular attention to environmental exposures such as proximity to fast-food outlets and access to fresh markets. Results showed that adults with higher income (>Rp 7 million/month) and those sedentary for more than 8 hours/day had the highest prevalence of obesity (44% and 49%, respectively). In contrast, individuals with higher education demonstrated lower risk, underscoring the protective role of health literacy. Environmental factors also mattered: closer distance to fast-food outlets (mean 0.6 km) and greater distance from fresh markets (mean 1.4 km) were associated with higher obesity prevalence. To address these urgent challenges, Jakarta requires concrete and context-specific strategies. Policy actions should include introducing a sugar-sweetened beverage tax, expanding safe and green public spaces particularly in North Jakarta and embedding mandatory nutrition education in public schools and workplace wellness programs. Integrating fiscal policy, urban planning, and health education into a cohesive strategy offers a viable pathway to reverse the city’s obesity trajectory.

Abstract

 Telemedicine is increasingly vital in reducing healthcare disparities in rural and underserved areas by lowering travel burdens, reducing costs, and improving diagnostic efficiency. Literature was collected from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on rural healthcare contexts. Evidence from China, India, Australia, and Latin America shows that telemedicine enhances healthcare access and patient outcomes, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine also promotes equity by reaching marginalized groups, though challenges remain, including inadequate internet connectivity, limited device availability, digital illiteracy, and cultural skepticism. Policy support, infrastructural investment, and context-specific innovations are essential for sustainable implementation. This review concludes that telemedicine represents a transformative strategy to strengthen rural healthcare systems and advance access, equity, and sustainability globally.

Abstract

This narrative review examines the role of digital health technologies and big data analytics in pandemic preparedness, with particular reference to COVID-19. The objective was to synthesize evidence on how technological innovations supported healthcare and education during crises and to identify barriers that limit their effectiveness. Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, focusing on empirical studies, case analyses, and systematic reviews related to telehealth, artificial intelligence, digital dashboards, and citizen science initiatives. The review found that digital innovations enabled remote consultations, predictive modeling, and real-time monitoring, which reduced pressure on health systems and informed public policy. Evidence highlighted the value of visual analytics and community-driven data in filling information gaps. However, infrastructural limitations, weak governance, and low public trust constrained adoption, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Comparative analyses showed that countries with strong infrastructures and transparent policies, such as Taiwan and South Korea, achieved more effective outcomes than regions with limited technological readiness. These findings indicate that digital health tools are powerful enablers of crisis response but insufficient in isolation. Sustainable integration requires investment in infrastructure, capacity-building, transparent communication, and participatory approaches. Embedding these reforms into health systems will be critical to ensure equitable access, strengthen resilience, and optimize the benefits of technological innovation for future pandemic preparednessof technological innovations in global health preparedness.
