Abstract

Innovation is no longer optional in health services it is essential. In the face of rising costs, workforce shortages, digital transformation, and increasing public expectations, healthcare systems must move beyond traditional models. Innovation represents a strategic effort to improve quality, enhance efficiency, and ensure long-term sustainability. Achieving high-quality care today requires balancing patient-centered outcomes with responsible resource management. Innovation integrates these goals by redesigning systems, strengthening leadership and collaboration, and leveraging digital and data-driven solutions. From telehealth to community-based prevention, innovation reshapes service delivery to improve resilience and accountability. Sustainable progress demands that innovation be evidence-based, ethical, and equity-oriented. The future of health services depends not on incremental adjustments, but on responsible and strategic innovation that secures lasting impact.

Abstract

Background: Academic stress is a psychological pressure experienced by students due to high academic demands. One factor that may influence academic stress is social support, including support from peers and family.. Objective:To determine whether peer social support and family support are associated with academic stress among students at SMAN 5 Jeneponto. Methods: This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 75 students selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: Of the students, 68.0% reported high peer support and 76.0% reported high family support. A total of 56.0% were in the low academic stress category, while 44.0% were in the high academic stress category. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between peer social support and academic stress (p = 0.000) and between family support and academic stress (p = 0.000). Higher support was associated with lower academic stress levels. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening support from peers and family to help students manage academic pressure in healthier and more adaptive ways. Conclusion: There were significant relationships between peer social support and family support with academic stress among students at SMAN 5 Jeneponto. Most students reported high peer support (68.0%) and high family support (76.0%); however, 44.0% of students still experienced high academic stress.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and remains a major global health problem. Effective management of DM requires proper self-management behaviors, including adequate knowledge and regular physical activity, which are essential for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels. This study aimed to examine the relationship between knowledge and physical activity with blood glucose levels among patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional method. The study was conducted at Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital, Makassar, Indonesia, in December 2025. A total of 40 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, while blood glucose data were obtained from medical records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square. Result: The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 50–60 years (57.5%), female (67.5%), had low educational levels (87.5%), and had been living with diabetes for 4–6 years (52.5%). Most respondents had blood glucose levels of 100–200 mg/dL (62.5%). There was a statistically significant relationship between knowledge and blood glucose levels (p = 0.000), where respondents with good knowledge had better glycemic control. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between physical activity and blood glucose levels (p = 0.000), indicating that respondents with active physical activity had better glycemic control compared to those with low physical activity. Conclusion: Knowledge and physical activity are significant determinants of glycemic control among patients with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, integrating patient education and the promotion of regular physical activity into diabetes management programs is essential to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
