Abstract

Academic rank advancement known in Indonesia as jabatan fungsional serves as one of the clearest markers of a lecturer's professional growth, yet a substantial proportion of lecturers at private universities in Gorontalo Province have yet to pursue it. This study examined how different leadership styles relate to lecturer motivation in pursuing academic rank, and what factors stand in the way. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document review at STIKES Bakti Nusantara Gorontalo and Universitas Gorontalo. Findings reveal that authoritarian leadership, when applied without adequate support structures, tends to generate compliance rather than genuine motivation. Charismatic and transformational styles, by contrast, foster a sense of belonging and professional pride that encourages lecturers to take career development seriously. Transactional approach esparticularly when reward systems are clear and fairly applied also show positive results, though their effect is contingent on institutional consistency. Four key inhibiting factors were identified: limited leadership attention toward individual lecturers, inadequate welfare and remuneration, poor understanding of the academic rank process, and an underdeveloped reward system. The study concludes that sustainable motivation for academic rank advancement requires a combination of inspirational leadership, fair compensation, and institution-wide literacy about career pathways.

Abstract

Poverty remains one of the most persistent development challenges in Gorontalo Regency, where poverty rates have consistently exceeded the national and provincial averages over the past five years. This study examined how social assistance policy and recipient behavior jointly relate to poverty alleviation outcomes in Limboto District. A quantitative survey design was employed, with 99 respondents drawn through proportional random sampling from a population of 920 beneficiaries of the Contribution Assistance Program (PBI) across three villages. Data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression. The results show that social assistance policy accounts for approximately 38.9% of the variance in poverty alleviation outcomes, and recipient behavior accounts for 39.1%, indicating that both variables carry roughly equal weight. When examined together, social assistance policy and recipient behavior jointly explain 41.7% of the variation in poverty alleviation, with the remaining 58.3% attributable to other factors. All three relationships are positive and statistically significant. These findings suggest that effective poverty alleviation cannot rest on policy design alone it also depends on how beneficiaries engage with and respond to the assistance they receive. Strengthening targeting accuracy, ensuring consistent program delivery, and fostering productive recipient behavior are therefore complementary, not competing, priorities.

Abstract

Background: Preeclampsia remains a preventable cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, particularly when delayed recognition, low maternal health literacy, poor adherence to preventive recommendations, and psychological distress delay emergency care-seeking. Digital maternal health interventions, including smartphone applications, telehealth, mHealth-supported community screening, remote blood-pressure monitoring, and digital education, may strengthen preeclampsia prevention and early detection. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized evidence on digital maternal health interventions for preeclampsia prevention, early detection, and maternal mental-health support. Methods: A PRISMA 2020-guided review was conducted using uploaded full-text articles representing digital maternal health interventions related to preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, eclampsia prevention, antenatal risk communication, or pregnancy danger-sign awareness. Study characteristics, intervention components, outcomes, and risk of bias were extracted. Hedges g was calculated for comparative studies with extractable mean and standard deviation data. Random-effects pooling used the DerSimonian-Laird method. Results: Ten full-text records were assessed. Seven primary studies were retained for qualitative synthesis, while three studies with compatible continuous outcomes were included in quantitative pooling. Digital interventions improved maternal knowledge, danger-sign awareness, preventive adherence, and monitoring engagement. The random-effects pooled Hedges g was 1.21 (95% CI 0.20 to 2.21), indicating a large favorable effect but with substantial heterogeneity (I2=95.0%; tau2=0.74). Funnel-plot and Egger-test interpretation was limited because only three studies were quantitatively pooled. Conclusion: Digital maternal health interventions show promising benefits for preeclampsia-related knowledge, preventive behavior, monitoring engagement, and psychological reassurance. However, current evidence remains heterogeneous and requires more standardized RCTs with validated outcomes and complete mean-SD reporting.

Abstract

Background: Adolescents remain vulnerable to adverse sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes, including unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV exposure, unsafe abortion, and limited access to youth-friendly services. Comprehensive sexuality education is recommended as a core public health strategy to improve knowledge, attitudes, skills, and protective behaviors. Objective: This systematic review synthesized intervention evidence on the effectiveness of SRH education among adolescents and young adults. Methods: The review followed PRISMA 2020 guidance. Scopus, PubMed, and Dimensions were searched for English-language studies published from 2016 to 2025. Eligible studies included adolescents or young adults exposed to school- or community-based SRH education interventions and reported measurable knowledge, attitudinal, self-efficacy, service use, or behavioral outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool. Due to heterogeneity in interventions and outcome measures, findings were synthesized narratively. Results: From 394 records, 18 duplicates were removed, and 376 records were screened. Five full-text reports were assessed, two were excluded after methodological appraisal, and three studies were included. The included studies were conducted in Colombia, India, and Liberia and collectively showed positive effects of SRH education on reproductive-health knowledge, HIV/STI knowledge, self-efficacy, condom-related attitudes, contraceptive use, condom use, and HIV testing. Participatory approaches, including group discussion, peer learning, role-play, and service-linked education, appeared particularly promising. Conclusion: SRH education interventions can improve adolescents' SRH knowledge and selected protective behaviors, especially when interactive, culturally responsive, and linked to accessible services. However, the small number of included studies, self-reported outcomes, and heterogeneity of measures limit certainty. Future trials should use standardized outcomes, longer follow-up periods, implementation fidelity assessment, and equity-sensitive analyses.

Abstract

Background: Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis frequently experience severe sleep disturbances, negatively impacting both physical and psychological health outcomes. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as sleep hygiene, are considered safer and more practical alternatives for improving sleep quality. However, the currently available evidence on sleep hygiene interventions in hemodialysis patients requires a comprehensive quantitative synthesis to establish clear practice guidelines. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness of sleep hygiene-based interventions on sleep quality among individuals receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Methods: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, were searched for articles published between 2014 and 2026. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs involving hemodialysis patients who received sleep hygiene interventions with reported quantitative outcomes on sleep quality. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane RoB 2 and JBI Critical Appraisal tools. Quantitative synthesis was performed using a random-effects model. Results: Out of 428 identified records, 8 studies met the strict inclusion criteria. Sleep hygiene-based interventions—including behavioral education, relaxation techniques, spiritual care, and cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)—significantly improved sleep quality among hemodialysis patients. A meta-analysis of the studies demonstrated a large and highly significant pooled intervention effect size favoring sleep hygiene-based approaches (pooled Standardized Mean Difference, SMD = -1.20, 95% CI [-1.45, -0.95], p < 0.001). Most included studies reported substantial reductions in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores following intervention. Associated comorbid symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, depression, and restless legs syndrome also showed concurrent significant improvements. Heterogeneity among the studies was moderate. Conclusion: Sleep hygiene-based interventions represent powerful, effective, safe, low-cost, and nurse-led non-pharmacological approaches to improving sleep quality in hemodialysis patients. These evidence-based strategies should be routinely integrated into independent nephrology nursing care plans. Future research employing larger, multicenter, methodologically rigorous RCTs is warranted to further confirm long-term clinical benefits.

Abstract

Sleep disturbance is one of the most common problems experienced by individuals with chronic diseases and can negatively affect physical health, psychological well-being, and quality of life. Physical activity has been recognized as a non-pharmacological intervention that may improve sleep quality in this population. This systematic literature review aimed to analyze the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality among people with chronic diseases. A systematic search was conducted using electronic databases including Scopus, PubMed, and Dimensions. Articles published in English between 2015 and 2026 were included. The inclusion criteria were studies involving adults with chronic diseases, interventions or measurements related to physical activity, and outcomes assessing sleep quality. Various study designs, including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and cross-sectional studies, were reviewed. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed systematically to identify the main findings of the included studies. The review found that regular physical activity was consistently associated with improved sleep quality among individuals with chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, chronic respiratory disease, and arthritis. Moderate-intensity activities, including walking, aerobic exercise, yoga, and resistance training, demonstrated positive effects on sleep duration, sleep efficiency, reduced sleep latency, and decreased insomnia symptoms. Several studies also reported that physical activity improved mental health and reduced fatigue, thereby indirectly enhancing sleep quality. However, differences in exercise type, duration, frequency, and patient characteristics influenced the effectiveness of interventions. In conclusion, physical activity appears to be an effective and accessible strategy for improving sleep quality among people with chronic diseases. Integrating regular physical activity into chronic disease management programs may yield significant benefits for both physical and psychological health. Further high-quality longitudinal and experimental studies are recommended to determine the optimal type and intensity of physical activity for improving sleep quality in different chronic disease populations.

Abstract

Background: The transition into menopause during the perimenopausal period causes fluctuating ovarian function and adverse lipid shifts, increasing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks. This systematic literature review evaluates the clinical efficacy of soy isoflavone supplementation on lipid profiles in perimenopausal women, synthesizing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) only. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest through May 2026. Of the 355 initially identified records (PubMed: 11, Scopus: 309, ProQuest: 35), four RCTs evaluating perimenopausal cohorts met the strict inclusion criteria for the qualitative synthesis. The reviewed trials investigated interventions ranging from isolated soy protein to specific isoflavone extracts and multi-ingredient nutraceutical combinations. Results: The synthesized data revealed nuanced, baseline-dependent lipidemic outcomes. In healthy, normocholesterolemic perimenopausal women, soy protein or isolated isoflavone intake did not significantly modulate total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or coagulation factors. Conversely, pronounced therapeutic benefits—characterized by significant reductions in TC, LDL-C, and triglycerides, along with improved metabolic biomarkers—were observed exclusively in perimenopausal cohorts with baseline metabolic syndrome or severe vasomotor symptoms, or when co-administered with metabolic-synergistic factors such as myo-inositol. Conclusion: Soy isoflavones do not uniformly alter lipid profiles in perimenopausal women. Their cardioprotective efficacy is heavily contingent upon baseline metabolic status, offering substantial lipid-modulating benefits for metabolically vulnerable cohorts while showing negligible effects in healthy individuals during the menopausal transition.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a very large public health problem all over the world during pregnancy, and is a component of maternal and fetal morbidity. Recently, attention has focused on certain natural-source nutrients with high iron or folate content, such as beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), as potential therapies for anemia in pregnant women. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the impact of beetroot supplementation on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. Methods: The original review was carried out based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guideline. Library searches were performed with PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome framework was used to develop the review question. Results: Of the identified studies, 19 were included. The majority of studies utilized experimental, quasi-experimental, or randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs; Indonesia is the country where most of the studies were carried out. The interventions primarily were beetroot juice, beet powder, and/or iron supplementation. The results were quite consistent, showing that beetroot supplementation effectively enhances hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia. Improvements in the hematocrit and erythrocyte counts were also reported in several studies. Conclusions: Beetroot appears to be a nutrient-based remedy to consider alongside other nutritional therapies for managing anemia in pregnancy. But more rigorous randomized controlled trials with improved design, larger sample sizes, and standardized intervention protocols are needed.

Abstract

Adolescent health services are crucial components of public health due to adolescents’ greater vulnerability to physical, mental, reproductive, and social health disorders. However, evolving digital technology has spurred greater use of telehealth services, which have been associated with better access and effectiveness of adolescent health services. The present systematic review was conducted to assess an integrated telehealth-based adolescent health service model and its efficacy in improving adolescents’ health knowledge and behavior. This review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The articles were searched in the PubMed, Scopus, and BioMed Central (BMC) databases from 2016 to 2026 using the following keywords: telemedicine, digital health, adolescent health services, health knowledge, and online interventions. Inclusion criteria were English- or Indonesian-language full-text articles on the implementation of telehealth services for adolescents. Quantitative and mixed-methods, cohort, quasi-experimental, and systematic review studies were selected. In all, 254 articles were included, and, after screening and eligibility assessments, 10 were selected. Results indicated that the telehealth intervention positively affected mental health, social participation, smoking cessation, healthcare access, medication adherence, and adolescent engagement with health services. The interventions were mobile health applications, online counseling, telemedicine, remote monitoring, and virtual support platforms. Digital accessibility, healthcare provider support, multidisciplinary collaboration, and digital health literacy supported successful implementation. But internet limitations, communication barriers, and low digital literacy posed obstacles. Generally, telehealth-based adolescent health services enhance adolescents’ existing knowledge, psychosocial well-being, and health behaviors in the digital age.

Abstract

Population aging increases the need for healthcare environments that are safe, accessible, and supportive of mobility for older adults. Facility auditing remains an important part of quality improvement, but manual inspection depends on staff time, checklist interpretation, and the moment of observation. This systematic review synthesizes task-based evidence on computer vision for age-friendly healthcare facility auditing. The review followed PRISMA 2020 and PRISMA-S principles. Eligible studies used image, video, RGB-D, depth, infrared, or thermal computer vision in hospitals, intensive care units, wards, nursing homes, long-term care, assisted living, or closely related care environments. Studies were included if they reported task-level performance or demonstrated clear operational relevance to environmental safety, accessibility, hygiene, mobility, posture, falls, or indoor object recognition. The evidence was synthesized narratively because the studies differed widely in their settings, sensor types, target labels, datasets, and metrics. The evidence clustered into environment understanding, hygiene and contact monitoring, mobility and activity monitoring, and posture or fall-related analysis. Technical performance was often promising within local datasets, but few studies translated model outputs into audit indicators, facility dashboards, or administrative decisions. Future work should align computer vision outputs with age-friendly audit tools, validate models across facilities, report privacy, workflow fit, and operational usefulness.
