Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia, with risk factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and overweight or obesity. This study aimed to evaluate NCD risk factors through blood glucose, uric acid, and total cholesterol measurements in Negeri Leahari, Leitimur Selatan District, Ambon City. A cross-sectional design was used with a convenience sampling technique, involving 138 voluntarily participating individuals. Blood glucose, uric acid, and total cholesterol levels were measured using an AutoCheck device, while data on diet, physical activity, and body mass index were collected through questionnaires. The results showed that 30% of participants had blood glucose levels ≥200 mg/dL, 22% had hyperuricemia, and 26% had total cholesterol levels ≥200 mg/dL. The main contributing factors were unhealthy diet (58%), low physical activity (52%), and a high prevalence of overweight and obesity (38%). Analysis showed a significant relationship between low physical activity and high uric acid levels (p = 0.04), while the relationship between diet and cholesterol and blood glucose levels showed a tendency toward increase, although not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The prevalence of NCD risk factors in Negeri Leahari is relatively high, highlighting the need for education on healthy eating, promotion of adequate physical activity, and routine monitoring of blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of further complications.

Abstract

People with HIV/AIDS not only need medication to reduce physical discomfort, but also need social support to overcome psychological anxiety and restlessness. Social support is critical in maintaining good physical and mental health. This study aims to analyze the social support status of women with HIV/AIDS and explore other factors that affect their quality of life in Kecamatan Patrang, Kabupaten Jember. The research method used was cross-sectional with convenience sampling and data collection through questionnaires with SSRS (Social Support Rating Scale) within three months from March to May 2025, with a sample of 92 women with HIV/AIDS. It is known that there is a significant relationship between emotional support (p = 0.01) and assessment support (p = 0.03), as well as other factors such as the duration of ARV therapy (p = 0.03), with the quality of life of women with HIV/AIDS. These findings are expected to provide a basis for interventions, including the formation of peer-support groups, counseling programs focused on strengthening self-esteem, and training for families and communities to provide appreciation and respect to women with HIV/AIDS, which ultimately improves their health and quality of life.

Abstract

The phenomenon of bullying in the school environment is still a serious problem that has a negative impact on the psychological development of adolescents. Emotional regulation plays an important role in controlling aggressive behavior that can trigger bullying. This study aims to determine the relationship between emotional regulation and bullying incidents in adolescents. The research design used a correlational analytical method with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 90 grade VII students was taken using a total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a closed questionnaire, and data analysis used the Spearman Rho test. The results showed that most respondents had a high level of emotional regulation (70%) and a low incidence of bullying (56.7%). There was a significant relationship between emotional regulation and bullying incidents with a p value = 0.016 and a correlation coefficient value of rₛ = -0.253 which indicated a negative relationship direction and sufficient correlation strength. This means that the better the adolescent's emotional regulation ability, the lower the level of involvement in bullying. This finding strengthens the importance of developing emotional regulation skills as a preventive measure against bullying behavior in schools. Further research is recommended to add other external variables such as family or peer influence.

Abstract

The development of information technology has encouraged the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to modernize and improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of outpatient services in hospitals. This study aims to analyze the influence of external variables, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, and behavioral intention to use on the actual Electronic Medical Record system at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital in Surabaya. This study is an analytical observational study with a quantitative approach involving 29 employees as respondents using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument, which was then analyzed using multiple linear regression. Regression tests show that the variables Attitude Towards Using (0.000) and Behavioral Intention To Use (0.000) have a significant effect on the actual use of the system. This means that users' positive attitudes towards the electronic medical record system play a major role in encouraging the adoption and actual use of the system. This implies that the better the users' attitude toward the system, the higher the likelihood that they will consistently use the system in the hospital environment. Psychological factors and users' internal motivation are more decisive in the success of technology adoption than other factors such as experience or direct assessment of benefits.

Abstract

Bullying in boarding schools is a serious issue affecting students’ mental health, social relationships, and academic performance. Boarding schools, especially pesantren in Indonesia, present unique social and institutional contexts that may facilitate bullying. This study conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were performed in Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2020 and 2025. Eligible articles focused on bullying in boarding schools and reported data on prevalence, risk factors, or impacts. Data were synthesized narratively. Bullying is common in boarding schools, including physical, verbal, and relational forms. Key risk factors include low self-esteem, limited resilience, negative parenting styles, unsafe school environments, and peer hierarchies. Bullying was associated with psychological distress, anxiety, depression, peer conflicts, reduced school engagement, and lower academic performance. Prevalence and severity varied across cultural and institutional contexts. Bullying in boarding schools is multifactorial, involving individual, familial, and school-level contributors. Unsafe climates and poor supervision intensify risks, while negative consequences extend beyond immediate harm to long-term mental health, social adjustment, and academic outcomes.

Abstract

Drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a challenging form of TB characterized by resistance to at least rifampicin and isoniazid, requiring the use of complex second-line therapies. This condition is often accompanied by complications that further aggravate the clinical course. The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of DR-TB with complications. This retrospective case study was based on the medical record of a 63-year-old female patient with a history of TB in 2020 who was diagnosed with relapsed DR-TB complicated by hypertension, anemia, and insomnia. The diagnosis was confirmed through a rapid molecular test showing a positive result for Mycobacterium tuberculosis with rifampicin resistance. Initial management included the administration of second-line antibiotics, blood transfusion to address anemia, and supportive care for accompanying symptoms. Following two consecutive positive results, the patient commenced second-line anti-tuberculosis (ATT) therapy according to MDR-TB treatment standards. Evaluation revealed improvement in hemoglobin levels after transfusion, although shortness of breath persisted and required further monitoring. In conclusion, the management of DR-TB with complications requires a multidisciplinary approach tailored to the patient’s clinical condition

Abstract

Performance is the work achievement of a person, which can be seen from the level of achievement of results or the implementation of certain tasks. The performance of female lecturers can be disrupted due to dual role conflict that causes stress, as well as lack of motivation, where efforts to balance professional and personal responsibilities often reduce focus, productivity, and effectiveness in carrying out academic tasks. This study aims to determine how dual role conflict, work stress, and work motivation relate to the performance of female lecturers at the Faculty of Public Health, Pharmacy, and Medicine, Halu Oleo University in 2024. The type of research is quantitative with a cross-sectional study design and observational analytic method. All female lecturers at the Faculty of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Public Health, Halu Oleo University became the population. The sample in the study amounted to 74 female lecturers selected using the Simple Random Sampling (SRS) method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that dual role conflict (p=0.019) and work motivation (p=0.016) were related to performance, while work stress (p=0.275) was not related.

Abstract

Fluor albus (vaginal discharge) is a long-standing health issue commonly experienced by adolescent females. Knowledge and attitude are key factors influencing the prevention of this condition. This study aims to analyze the effect of the stratagem method on adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding fluor albus at SMPN 1 Kanor, Bojonegoro Regency. The independent variable in this research is the stratagem method, while the dependent variables are knowledge and attitudes regarding fluor albus. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach was employed. The population comprised 70 respondents, all of whom were selected using total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires assessing knowledge and attitude levels, and then processed through editing, coding, and tabulation. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed that prior to the intervention, nearly all respondents (85.7%) had low knowledge and (91.4%) displayed negative attitudes. Following the intervention, all respondents (100%) demonstrated good knowledge and positive attitudes. The Wilcoxon test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the stratagem method on improving adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes toward fluor albus. These findings suggest that the stratagem method can serve as an effective alternative strategy in health education to enhance knowledge and attitudes related to vaginal discharge among adolescents.

Abstract

Diabetic ulcers are one of the serious chronic complications in patients with diabetes mellitus and can cause infection, amputation, and even death if not treated properly. This condition is influenced by various factors, such as uncontrolled blood glucose levels, decreased foot sensitivity due to neuropathy, and poor foot care behavior. This study aims to analyze the relationship between blood glucose levels and the risk of diabetic ulcers. This study used a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 81 patients with diabetes mellitus. Data were collected by examining random blood glucose levels using a glucometer and the risk of diabetic ulcers using an observation sheet. The data were then analyzed using the Spearman's rho test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between blood glucose levels and the risk of diabetic ulcers, with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p <0.05). Controlling blood glucose levels, early detection of decreased foot sensitivity, and good foot care behavior have an important role in reducing the risk of diabetic ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus

Abstract

The number of active smokers in Indonesia is estimated to reach 70 million people, with 7.4% coming from the adolescent group. This condition calls for effective prevention strategies. This study aims to explore the role of health literacy as a mediating factor in the influence of the Smoke-Free Area (KTR) program and lifestyle on smoking prevention among adolescents. The research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional causal survey design. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with a partial least squares (SEM-PLS) approach, covering both outer and inner model evaluations. The study population consisted of vocational high school students (SMK Negeri) in Makassar City, with purposive random sampling applied to obtain 300 respondents. The findings reveal a reinforcing relationship between environmental policies (KTR), personal factors (lifestyle), and cognitive-affective capacity (health literacy) in preventing smoking behavior. Health literacy is proven to be a key element that mediates the effects of policy and lifestyle, while also broadening both theoretical and practical understanding of preventive interventions among adolescents. In conclusion, the Smoke-Free Area program and healthy lifestyle significantly influence smoking prevention behavior, both directly and indirectly through improved health literacy.
