Abstract

Background: Urban hepatitis A outbreaks in Indonesia highlight the need to understand preventive behaviors beyond biomedical factors. This study applies Green's health behavior theory to examine demographic, behavioral, and environmental determinants of hepatitis A preventive in an urban Jakarta community. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the relationship between individual characteristics and preventive behaviors toward Hepatitis A, in order to provide evidence-based recommendations for effective public health interventions. Methods: This study conducted a cross-sectional analytic study among residents aged 15–45 years using a validated questionnaire. Variables included knowledge, attitudes, and information exposure alongside demographics. Data were analyzed with chi-square tests for categorical associations. Findings: Older age, female gender, higher education, employment, better knowledge, positive attitudes, and information exposure were associated with practicing hepatitis A preventive behaviors (e.g., safe water/food handling, hand hygiene) (p < 0.05). The survey in the Kemayoran District showed a high level of compliance in hand washing and clean water use, but inconsistent practices still occurred in relation to thorough cooking of food and technical understanding of the virus etiology. The results of the study identified a significant gap between knowledge and behavior, where moderate attitudes and incomplete health literacy hindered the transition from general awareness to consistent protective actions. Conclusion: Predisposing (knowledge, attitudes), enabling (access to clean water/sanitation), and reinforcing factors (community and health-worker support) jointly predict preventive practices. Findings inform culturally responsive, nurse-led community interventions in low-resource urban settings. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article addresses the gap that most studies in Indonesia have focused only on biomedical or knowledge-based aspects. The study provides a culturally relevant framework for targeted public health interventions in urban communities by integrating demographic, behavioral, and environmental factors.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia ranks second as the country with the highest number of tuberculosis cases in the world. The three most populous provinces on the island of Java (West Java, East Java, and Central Java) contribute the most TB cases in Indonesia. The Provincial Health Offices of West Java, East Java, and Central Java have data on tuberculosis incidence and influencing risk factors, but most of the data is processed manually and presented in tables and graphs. Spatial and mapping approaches can be used to visualize the distribution of tuberculosis incidence and its risk factors. Method: This study used an ecological study design with a spatial approach. The population in this study consisted of 100 districts/cities in the provinces of West Java, East Java, and Central Java. The data used were aggregated from annual publications issued by the health offices and the central statistics agencies of the three provinces for the period 2024. Findings: The tuberculosis case notification rate distribution in the three regions of Java Island exhibited positive spatial autocorrelation. Three independent variables had negative spatial autocorrelation with the TB CNR, namely the percentage of poor people, the percentage of households with access to proper sanitation, and the percentage of livable houses. Meanwhile, population density is the only variable that has positive spatial autocorrelation with TB CNR. Conclusion: TB prevention, case finding, and intervention can adopt and modify the policy implications of these spatial analysis results by considering the conditions of each region. Originality of this article: This study applies spatial analysis using Moran's Index and LISA approaches in the regions of West Java, East Java, and Central Java, as well as its use of variables such as BPJS Health insurance ownership, access to proper sanitation, and livable housing, which have not been widely studied in previous research.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic malnutrition condition that leads to impaired growth and development, primarily caused by inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the association between WASH factors and stunting in children under five. Methods: This meta-analysis was conducted using the PICO research question. The study population involves children aged 0 to 59 months to analyze how unimproved water, sanitation, and hygiene compare with improved practices in affecting stunting outcomes. Relevant articles were systematically retrieved from several databases including PubMed, BMC, ScienceDirect, and Springer Link, with inclusion criteria focusing on cross-sectional and longitudinal studies published between 2020 and 2025. All gathered data were subsequently synthesized and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application to ensure a rigorous evaluation of the research findings. Findings: Meta-analysis included 6 studies from Indonesia and Ethiopia. The risk of stunting increased with unimproved sanitation (aOR = 1.33; 95% CI = 1.20–1.48; p < 0.00001), unimproved hygiene (aOR = 1.16; 95% CI = 0.73–1.84; p = 0.530) unimproved water (aOR = 1.10; 95% CI = 0.94–1.29; p = 0.250) increased the risk of stunting, but it was statistically not significant. Conclusion: Unimproved water, sanitation and hygiene increase the risk of stunting. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a separated evaluation of water, sanitation, and hygiene factors using evidence from 2020–2025 to clarify specific WASH-related determinants contributing to stunting among children under five.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is when a child's height or length is shorter than their age due to chronic malnutrition and repeated infections occurring during the first 1,000 days of life. According to data from the Ministry of Health, Indonesia's stunting rate was 19.8% in 2024, despite the Indonesian government's target of reducing stunting prevalence by 14% by that year. The persistently high prevalence of stunting has profound implications for the Indonesian nation. This study examines the factors contributing to stunting from the perspective of environmental health and economic status in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a narrative literature review on method based on previous studies sourced from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and MEDLINE published from January 2021 to October 2025, as well as reports on the results of the SSGI and SKI data from 2021 to 2024. Findings: This study focuses on the multifactorial causes of stunting related to Indonesia's environmental health and economic status. The availability of clean water, inadequate sanitation and latrines, and low economic conditions can cause stunting. Stunting requires a multisectoral strategy focusing on maternal and child nutrition, environmental health, and improving economic status. Conclusion: The evidence presented could guide policy development strategies and targeted interventions to prevent stunting, especially from an environmental health perspective, and improve economic status to prevent stunting in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the relationship between stunting incidence factors based on an environmental health and economic status perspective in Indonesia. The narrative review offers a holistic perspective in understanding the complexity of stunting factors and designing more effective intervention strategy policies and guidelines.

Abstract

Background: Reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a key target of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aimed to map global research trends about policies and strategies for the prevention and control of NCDs using a bibliometric approach. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database. Articles published in English between 1 January 2023 and 6 November 2025 were retrieved. Bibliometric networks of authors, institutions, countries, sources, keywords, and co-cited references were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer. Findings: A total of 555 articles were included. The field is dominated by collaborative networks of authors and institutions from high-income countries, particularly the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Iran. The Lancet and other leading journals in public health and medicine formed the main co-citation hubs. Frequently co-occurring keywords highlighted policy implementation, health systems, risk factors, health promotion, and prevention and control strategies for major NCDs. Conclusion: Global research on NCD policies and strategies is increasing, yet remains concentrated in high-income settings. Future studies should prioritize implementation and evaluation of NCD policies in low- and middle-income countries, integration of digital health technologies, development of context-specific risk-based strategies, and assessments of policy impacts on health and economic inequalities. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides one of the first up-to-date bibliometric overviews (2023–2025) of global publications on NCD prevention and control policies and strategies, offering evidence-based directions for future research and policymaking.

Abstract

Background: In Southeast Asia, breastmilk substitutes (BMS) have quickly turned into a widely accepted social practice. But the health and environmental effects are not thoroughly examined. BMS producers and manufacturers, through their industrial processes, packaging waste, and transportation, are the major contributors to ecological degradation, while formula feeding brings health risks for infants. Methods: This scoping review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and brought together results from 23 articles published in reputable journals between 2015 and 2025. The databases explored were PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Crossref. Data was gathered, and the latter was done through the Joanna Briggs Institute tools, and then it was analyzed thematically. Findings: There is a clear link between BMS production and consumption, and major environmental impacts resulting from these 3-MCPD, glycidyl esters are examples of chemical contaminants; microplastics and large amounts of GHG emissions are also included (3–6 kg CO₂-eq per kg product). Water and energy use are augmented due to formula preparation, and the disposal of materials has worsened plastic pollution in urban rivers. Health investigations pointed out that babies on a formula diet are more exposed to infections.  Economists' forecasts have also pointed to avoidable health and environmental costs arising from reduced breastfeeding, and these are found to be considerable. Conclusion: The use of BMS has a detrimental effect on both mankind and nature, while breastfeeding is still the most eco-friendly and health-producing feeding technique.  Novelty/Originality: Besides being the first study to establish BMS consumption with environmental contamination, carbon footprints, and health outcomes in Southeast Asia, this review also redefined infant feeding as an issue of planetary health.
