Abstract

Climate change is not only an environmental challenge but a profound justice crisis, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities in low- and middle-income regions by intensifying social, economic, and health inequalities. In the digital age, rethinking climate justice requires integrating digital health innovations to strengthen health system resilience and equity. This study aims to reconceptualize climate justice in the digital age by examining the disproportionate health impacts of climate change on marginalized communities, evaluating the potential of digital innovations to strengthen resilient and equitable health systems, and proposing inclusive pathways that align digital transformation with human rights to safeguard vulnerable populations. The research employed a qualitative review and analytical approach, drawing on interdisciplinary literature from environmental sociology, climate policy, human rights law, and international development. It examined the intersection of environmental degradation, social exclusion, and health vulnerabilities, focusing on women, children, indigenous peoples, and ethnic minorities. Findings indicated that digital tools, including telemedicine and mobile health applications, enhanced healthcare access, system responsiveness, and equitable service delivery in climate-impacted regions. However, persistent barriers such as digital divides, weak infrastructure, and insufficiently inclusive governance limited their effectiveness. By bridging climate justice and digital health, the study offered actionable policy pathways and research directions to promote equitable health resilience amid escalating climate risks. These insights underscored the need for an integrated, rights-based, and intersectional framework that aligned digital transformation with climate justice, enabling inclusive policies and interventions that protected vulnerable populations and strengthened long-term health system adaptability.

Abstract

The digital transformation in healthcare has driven the emergence of mHealth applications as strategic innovations that bridge the gap between the limitations of conventional service methods and the demands of modern healthcare delivery. However, the effectiveness of mHealth applications largely depends on how users perceive their usability, their role in enhancing communication, and their contribution to improving healthcare services. This study aims to analyze user perceptions of mHealth applications with a focus on three key dimensions: usability, communication enhancement, and healthcare service improvement. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving 200 participants from Indonesia and the Philippines selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire consisting of 15 items and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal that, as perceived by mHealth users, usability exerts a significant effect on communication, and communication acts as a strong predictor of healthcare service improvement. Furthermore, increased usability is consistently predicted to enhance communication effectiveness and healthcare quality, whereas reduced usability may potentially diminish both. In conclusion, as perceived by users, mHealth applications have demonstrated clear advantages over conventional service methods in terms of efficiency, accessibility, and continuity of care. This study contributes by integrating usability, communication, and healthcare service improvement into digital health technology adoption literature, while also offering practical guidance for developers and policymakers in creating more efficient, user-friendly, and sustainable healthcare systems based on user perceptions.

Abstract

Assessing the health of pregnant women with a questionnaire can prevent complications and help health professionals provide appropriate care. Assessment scales such as the pregnancy anxiety rating scale questionnaire (PARSQ), pregnancy sleep quality questionnaire (PSQQ), pregnancy knowledge level questionnaire (PKLQ), and birth readiness questionnaire (BRQ) need to be developed according to current conditions and real-life situations to serve as primary screening tools before proceeding with further treatment for pregnant women. This study aims to develop specific research measurement tools for pregnant women and validate the PARSQ, PSQQ, PKLQ, and BRQ questionnaires. The research method employed a qualitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 20 pregnant women, followed by statistical testing of questionnaire validity and reliability. The results showed that the calculated values (r-value) for the PARSQ, PSQQ, PKLQ, and BRQ questionnaires were greater than the critical value (r-table) of 0.359, indicating that the items in these four questionnaires are valid. The reliability test results used Cronbach's alpha for all four questionnaires, indicating that the questionnaires are reliable. In conclusion, the PARSQ, PSQQ, PKLQ, and BRQ questionnaires can be used to detect the health conditions of pregnant women. This research's contribution, through the use of questionnaires, can offer an effective tool for collecting and analyzing data needed to understand the phenomenon of pregnancy and improve existing theories and practices. Further research is recommended with a larger sample size of pregnant respondents.

Abstract

Children under five years of age who experience stunting are at risk of experiencing physical, mental, social, and language development barriers. Non-pharmacological approaches to stunting are essential because stunting refers to a lack of growth in children. Therefore, a developmental examination, namely a pre-developmental screening questionnaire, must be conducted to identify non-pharmacological needs. The research aims to identify the development of stunted children. Descriptive research design, the population of all children experiencing stunting in the working area of the Mejuwet Health Center, Bojonegoro Regency, in 2023. The sample was 29 respondents, with purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaire sheets, and then editing, coding, scoring, and tabulating were carried out, followed by analysis. The results of the study showed that 31% of respondents with stunted children under the age of five experienced deviant development, 55.2% had questionable development, and only 18.3% had development that was appropriate for their age. Appropriate stimulation for the growth and development of children aged 48-59 months consists of several important activities, namely stimulation of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, speech and language, socialization, and independence. By involving children in these activities, we can help stimulate their development holistically. Monitor the child's growth and development regularly by having regular check-ups with health workers. The contribution of this research is recommended that the child's mother utilizes a non-pharmacological approach by providing support by inviting the stunted child to play puzzles, draw, color, and write to increase creativity, support speech, and increase socialization with peers.

Abstract

Globally, breast cancer is the primary cause of death. Non-pharmacological therapy involving knowledge and practice of breast self-examination (BSE) is a straightforward, incredibly affordable, non-invasive initial diagnostic technique for early breast cancer diagnosis. The objective of this study is to examine women's knowledge and practices about breast self-examination. The method is a systematic review using PRISMA. Data sourced from searches in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were conducted to identify relevant published studies. The data was restricted to English-language articles on women's knowledge and practice of breast self-examination published during the previous five years. The results show 15 articles that explain the knowledge and practice of breast self-examination carried out by women. The majority of women have heard of BSE but do not fail to carry out BSE regularly every month. The majority of evaluated studies demonstrated a notable correlation between participants' knowledge of breast cancer and their age, marital status, and level of education. The conclusion is that women's knowledge and practice of breast self-examination are still lacking. Hence, it is imperative to develop techniques that might enhance the awareness and adoption of breast self-examination. Although breast self-examination is generally part of a prevention and monitoring strategy, it does not replace medical or pharmacological care. The contribution of this study is to provide information that breast self-examination has several important contributions in the context of breast health and early detection of breast cancer.
