Abstract

Background: Dengue fever remains a major public health threat in Dhaka City, Bangladesh, with adolescents (15–22 years) particularly vulnerable due to high mobility and environmental exposure. This observational retrospective study analyzes fourteen years of dengue trends (2010–2023), comparing them with the August–October 2023 outbreak, which recorded the highest dengue burden in over a decade. The study evaluates disease severity, hospitalization rates, and the effectiveness of targeted public health interventions. Methods: A retrospective hospital-based study was conducted using laboratory-confirmed dengue cases from eight major hospitals in Dhaka City, ensuring adherence to ethical research standards. Comparative analysis between intervention and control regions assessed the impact of vector control programs, awareness campaigns, and healthcare accessibility. Cohen’s d was used to quantify effect sizes, and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS and R software. Results: Dengue cases peaked in September 2023, with a monthly average of 1,250 cases (SD = 300). The overall adolescent prevalence was 15%, with hospitalization rates 15% higher in females than males. Intervention areas showed a 20% reduction in hospital admissions, with a Cohen’s d effect size of 0.6, indicating a moderate impact of public health measures. Lower-income communities faced a 30% higher infection rate, emphasizing disparities in healthcare access and preventive resources. Discussion: Findings reveal that adolescents remain a high-risk group due to urban exposure, limited preventive behaviors, and delayed healthcare access. Comparisons between 2010–2023 and August–October 2023 highlight worsening disease severity, driven by urbanization, climate factors, and inadequate mosquito control. Strengthening real-time surveillance, improving drainage infrastructure, and expanding school-based awareness campaigns is crucial for sustainable dengue control. Conclusion: Targeted public health interventions significantly reduce dengue transmission, but socioeconomic inequalities and urban environmental factors remain major challenges. Sustained vector control, improved urban planning, and enhanced healthcare accessibility are essential for long-term dengue prevention and outbreak preparedness in Dhaka City.

Abstract

Background: Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue, affecting almost 19.7% of children in the United States and 24% of adolescents aged 10–17 in Kentucky. This condition is exacerbated by socioeconomic disparities, food deserts, and limited access to physical activity spaces. Effective intervention requires comprehensive, multilevel strategies that involve schools, families, healthcare providers, and policymakers to address systemic barriers and promote equity. Methods: This study utilized a mixed-methods approach, incorporating descriptive statistical analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state-level reports, and targeted online surveys with parents, educators, and healthcare providers in Kentucky. The surveys explored barriers to healthy behaviors, including food accessibility and opportunities for physical activity. Additionally, descriptive case studies of global intervention models, such as Finland’s Schools on the Move and the UK's MEND program, were synthesized to evaluate their scalability and sustainability for local adaptation. Results: The proposed interventions, which include school-based programs, family-centered initiatives, community engagement efforts, and policy reforms like soda taxes, are expected to reduce obesity prevalence, improve psychosocial well-being, and generate sustainable public health benefits. Descriptive evaluations of programs such as ‘Marathon Kids’ indicate improvements in BMI, dietary habits, and physical activity levels, underscoring the effectiveness of collaborative, evidence-based approaches. Conclusion: Addressing childhood obesity necessitates comprehensive, multilevel strategies. Overcoming challenges such as funding, cultural adaptation, and policy enforcement requires rigorous descriptive studies and stakeholder collaboration. This study contributes to bridging research gaps and advocates for a holistic approach to combating childhood obesity, ultimately fostering healthier communities.

Abstract

Background: Supporting students' psychological well-being is crucial for teachers, particularly in times of crisis. However, communication barriers and low confidence in administering Psychological First Aid (PFA) often hinder effective support. This study examines the impact of PFA training and interpersonal communication skills on educators' self-efficacy. Methods: A randomized controlled trial with cluster sampling was conducted among 88 educators from four schools in Aceh (September–October 2024). Participants were assigned to intervention and control groups, with data collected using a pre-test and post-test design. The intervention consisted of PFA and interpersonal communication training, delivered in 2-hour sessions over four weeks. Self-efficacy was measured using the General Self-Efficacy Scale, with data analyzed using normality tests, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and the Mann-Whitney U Test. Results: Educators who received PFA training showed significantly higher self-efficacy compared to the control group (U = 537.500, p < 0.001; Wilcoxon Z = -5.785, p = 0.001). Similarly, interpersonal communication training led to significant self-efficacy improvements (U = 306.500, p = 0.001; Wilcoxon Z = -5.783, p < 0.001). Conclusion: PFA and interpersonal communication training enhance teachers' self-efficacy in providing psychological support. Wider implementation of these interventions is recommended to improve students' psychological well-being in Aceh.

Abstract

Background: Emergency department (ED) healthcare workers are at elevated risk of burnout due to high workloads, time pressure, and repeated exposure to trauma. Resilience training has emerged as a promising intervention, yet its specific effectiveness in ED settings has not been comprehensively reviewed. Methods: This systematic review evaluated 20 studies (from an initial pool of 1,120 articles) that met predefined inclusion criteria, encompassing randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, cohort designs, and qualitative research. Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2014 and 2024. Data were extracted on intervention type, duration, burnout assessment tools (e.g., MBI, CBI), and psychological outcomes. Results: Resilience training—particularly mindfulness-based interventions and cognitive-behavioral techniques—was associated with a 25–30% reduction in burnout scores, especially in the emotional exhaustion domain. Participants also reported improvements in coping strategies and psychological well-being. However, heterogeneity in intervention formats (ranging from 4 to 12 weeks) and outcome measures limited direct comparisons across studies. Conclusions: Resilience training appears to be an effective strategy for mitigating burnout among ED healthcare workers. To enhance its impact, future research should prioritize the development of standardized protocols, integration into hospital policies, and assessment of long-term outcomes. Digital formats, such as app-based or microlearning modules, also warrant further investigation for broader accessibility and scalability.

Abstract

Background: Guided imagery is a promising non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety reduction, yet its use in outpatient mental health care remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing anxiety among patients with mental disorders. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 68 participants assigned to intervention or control groups. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS-A). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test for within-group and the Mann-Whitney test for between-group comparisons. Results: The intervention group showed a significant reduction in anxiety levels compared to the control group (p = 0.003). After the guided imagery intervention, 76.5% (26 of 34) of the intervention group had reduced anxiety, while the control group showed minimal change (p = 0.129). Outpatients visit frequency also increased post-intervention in the intervention group. Conclusion: Guided imagery is an effective and feasible intervention for reducing anxiety in outpatient mental health settings and can be integrated into standard care.

Abstract

Background: A strong doctor–patient relationship is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to determine the community’s perception toward doctors’ physical appearance, mannerisms, and association with the doctor-patient relationship in Malaysia.  Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the general adult population in Malaysia. Data was collected via an online survey and analyzed using SPSS version 27.  Results: A total of 389 respondents participated in this study. Over half (55.53%) considered professional attire with a white coat is important, and 90.75% preferred doctors to wear name tags. The respondents paid more attention to mannerisms if they were younger age group (18-30 years) rather than the older age group (50 years and above) (Adjusted OR = 4.64, 95%CI: 1.90, 11.36). While the respondents with higher education levels (Postgraduate) were more attentive to mannerisms compared to respondents with SPM – Secondary Education level (Adjusted OR = 6.77, 95%CI: 1.26, 36.53).  Conclusion: The respondents demonstrated increased trust, confidence, and approachability and were more willing to share personal information with doctors dressed in formal attire with a white coat along with name tags. Most respondents felt that both the physical appearance and mannerisms of doctors played a significant role to form a good doctor-patient relationship. Mannerism was considered more important for the doctor-patient relationship among younger aged and higher educated people.

Abstract

Background: Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) remain the leading cause of mortality globally and in Indonesia. To address this, Indonesia introduced the Posbindu PTM (Integrated Service Posts for NCDs), a community-based program that relies heavily on volunteer health cadres. This study explores the lived experiences, roles, and challenges faced by these cadres in Banda Aceh. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Twelve female health cadres from Ulee Kareng Health Center were selected using purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in January 2025. Thematic analysis using the Miles and Huberman model revealed two overarching themes and five subthemes, including personal empowerment, logistical constraints, low public participation, and digital limitations. Results: Health cadres reported increased knowledge and confidence in health promotion, but faced critical barriers such as infrastructure limitations, insufficient financial incentives, and community reluctance. Differences in perspectives emerged based on years of service. Notably, cadres with longer tenure (more than five years) expressed greater confidence and skill in engaging the community compared to newer cadres. Conclusion: While cadres derive personal growth and community recognition, system-level changes are essential for program sustainability. Policy recommendations include better government support, consistent training, stakeholder engagement, and adequate resources.
