Abstract

Hallobumil is a mobile health application designed to provide information and education for pregnant women. Usability and user experience are critical to ensuring ease of use, relevance, and engagement, ultimately supporting better pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the usability and user experience of the Halo Bumil application among pregnant women in Semarang, Indonesia. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 390 pregnant women from 15 community health centers. Data were collected through direct interviews using structured questionnaires based on the System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) and analyzed descriptively. The mean age of participants was 28.5 ± 5.5 years; most had senior high school education (57.4%), earned less than the local minimum wage (63.6%), were housewives (58.5%), and received health information from healthcare providers (74.1%). The mean SUS score was 62 (marginal), corresponding to Grade D, with an adjective rating of “OK.” The mean UEQ scores were positive across all dimensions: attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, and novelty. Overall, the Halo Bumil application is considered suitable as a digital information medium to support pregnancy. These findings provide valuable insights for developers to enhance features and user-friendliness.

Abstract

The use of digital technology in the health sector is becoming increasingly important, especially in improving access to medical services quickly and efficiently. One form of its implementation is online health service applications such as KlikDokter. However, high usage of the application does not guarantee that users are satisfied and that the application is easy to use. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the usability and user experience of the KlikDokter application in Indonesia. This study is a descriptive quantitative study with a cross- sectional approach involving 392 respondents. The majority of respondents were aged 18–25 years (55.1%), had a bachelor’s degree as their highest educational attainment (66.6%), and were employed as private sector workers (48.7%). The usability evaluation using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method yielded an average score of 72,75, falling into the ‘Acceptable’ category with a grade of “C” and a rating of ‘Good.’ The user experience evaluation using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) yielded positive scores across all dimensions, with the highest scores in Attractiveness (1.70), Efficiency (1.67), and Dependability (1.69). However, the Novelty aspect received the lowest score (0.5), indicating a lack of innovation in the application's appearance and features. These results indicate that KlikDokter demonstrates adequate usabilitty, but there is still room for improvement to provide a more engaging and innovative experience for users.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women is a global health issue that has a significant impact on mothers and fetuses, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This condition can lead to premature birth, fetal growth disorders, and the risk of stunting. This study aims to analyze the nutritional and non-nutritional factors causing anemia in pregnant women globally and to recommend effective interventions. The method used was a literature review of national and international journals published between 2020 and 2025, with inclusion criteria and quantitative or qualitative methods. The results showed that the primary nutritional factors were iron, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiencies, exacerbated by low food intake and poor adherence to supplementation. Non-nutritional factors include socioeconomic status, education, age, infections (such as malaria and parasitic infections), chronic diseases, and limited access to healthcare services. Anemia is more common among adolescent pregnant women, those with low education levels, and those living in poverty. In conclusion, anemia in pregnant women is a multifactorial condition that requires a holistic approach through improved nutrition, health education, access to maternal services, infection control, and improved socioeconomic conditions. This approach aligns with WHO recommendations to reduce the global prevalence of anemia.

Abstract

Access to safe drinking water is a key target under SDG 6.1; yet household-level risks remain under-monitored in Indonesia. This study aimed to assess household drinking-water quality in the Rumbai Bukit PHC area as part of the implementation of STBM pillar 3 by the Household Drinking Water Quality Surveillance (KAMRT). A crosssectional surveillance (July–Sept 2024) tested 24 household water samples from wells, PDAM, and refill depots for physical (colour, turbidity, odour, TDS), chemical (pH, Fe, Mn), and microbiological (E. coli) parameters. Laboratory examination showed that 22 samples (91.7%) were positive for E. coli, with the highest contamination detected in dug-well (100%) and refill-depot water (87.5%), while only one PDAM sample was positive. In addition, three parameters, pH (33.3%), Fe (25%), and Mn (20.8%), failed to meet the national standards set in the Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2/2023. No samples failed for colour, odour, turbidity, or TDS. Most household water was unsafe microbiologically. Strengthened internal/external monitoring, public education on safe storage/treatment, and multisector collaboration using community-based technologies are required to secure sustainable safe water access.

Abstract

Central Java Province continues to hold the third-highest MMR in Indonesia as of 2023. Caesarean section births are maternal services associated with rates of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing Caesarean section births in the province of Central Java. The 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) provided the data used in this investigation. 1,060 data were gathered after sorting, and total sampling was employed. SPSS was used to analyze the data, utilizing the frequency distribution for univariate analysis and the Pearson Product Moment test for bivariate analysis. Mothers between the ages of 26 and 28 who have two children, have not given birth in the past year, have a middle-class income, have no problems during childbirth, have neither high blood pressure nor low blood pressure, and whose kids are not breech are the data mode based on study data. Every circumstance influences the decision to use a caesarean section as a delivery procedure. The family's financial situation has the biggest impact on the variable of caesarean delivery.

Abstract

The prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in Indonesia continues to increase, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Condom use remains a key strategy to prevent HIV transmission in this population. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with consistent condom use among HIV-positive MSM in Surakarta, Indonesia. A cross-sectional design was applied using purposive sampling, involving 34 HIV-positive MSM recruited from the community. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire assessing condom knowledge, attitudes, and use, and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The mean age was 33 years, with most participants being single (82.3%) and having completed high school to university (94.1%). While 97.1% acknowledged the importance of condoms, 67.6% had misconceptions about correct use, 29.4% perceived condoms as reducing sexual pleasure, and 35.3% reported inconvenience in purchasing or carrying condoms. Only 44.1% reported consistent condom use, and 50.0% had engaged in unprotected sex in the past six months. Bivariate analysis showed no significant association between age, education, marital status, and employment and consistent condom use. These findings highlight the important role of cognitive and attitudinal factors in shaping condom use behavior among HIV-positive MSM, suggesting that targeted behavior change interventions that address misconceptions and sociocultural barriers are crucial for strengthening HIV prevention efforts in Indonesia.
