Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a significant public health concern in Jefferson County, Kentucky, exacerbated by socioeconomic barriers influencing care access and disease management. This qualitative study explored community-perceived barriers impacting diabetes self-management among local adults. Methods: Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, this qualitative study involved thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke’s method) of open-ended responses collected through an online questionnaire from six purposively selected adults (≥18 years) with physician-diagnosed type 2 diabetes in Jefferson County. Results: Participants described several structural barriers affecting their diabetes care, primarily highlighting medication affordability (83%), transportation difficulties (67%), and inadequate access to healthy food (67%). Additional qualitative themes revealed concerns related to insufficient flexibility of healthcare services and personal time constraints. Participants further suggested community-informed strategies, including subsidized medication programs, enhanced transportation services, increased availability of virtual healthcare, and improved local access to affordable fitness facilities and nutritious foods. Conclusion: Qualitative insights underscore a substantial gap between diabetes care intentions and achievable self-management practices due to persistent systemic barriers. Addressing these barriers through targeted, community-driven solutions could meaningfully improve diabetes outcomes in Jefferson County

Abstract

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a global health challenge. While Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) offers high efficacy for prevention, its adherence is significantly impacted by gastrointestinal (GI) dysbiosis and hazardous alcohol use. Alcohol misuse exacerbates PTSD and behavioral health issues, and chronic alcohol use can escalate GI disturbances, potentially leading to severe conditions like alcoholic hepatitis. Methods: This brief report presents a conceptual analysis of existing literature and retrospective clinical data. Thematic coding was utilized to identify correlations between alcohol use, GI dysbiosis, PTSD, and PrEP adherence among HIV-negative individuals. Results: Hazardous alcohol use amplifies PTSD symptoms and disrupts gut microbiota, causing systemic inflammation and broader behavioral problems. These factors collectively compromise PrEP adherence, with affected individuals demonstrating rates as low as 45–60%, particularly in marginalized groups. Conclusion: Integrated behavioral interventions prioritizing alcohol reduction, microbiome support, and trauma-informed mental health care are crucial to optimize PrEP outcomes and advance HIV prevention efforts.

Abstract

Background: In low-income nations like Bangladesh, the use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) is common and linked to major oral health problems such tooth stains, cavities, and precancerous lesions. Methods: At the evening OPD of Sapporo Dental College and Hospital in Dhaka, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between April and October 2023. 400 people were polled using a standardized questionnaire and purposive sampling. Logistic regression and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The majority of responders (84.75%) were men, and the age group of 35–54 years old accounted for 39.5% of the total. The use of SLT was more common in older people and teenagers. The most often reported oral complaints were poor breath (75%) and dental stains (90.75%). SLT use was found to be substantially correlated with peer influence, decreased perceived severity and benefits, and age ≥14 years (OR = 6.58), according to logistic regression. Just 29.2% of respondents said they intended to stop after seeing the health warnings. Conclusion: SLT use is very common among adults in Dhaka who visit the dental outpatient department, despite their lack of knowledge about the health hazards. In order to enhance public health outcomes in Bangladesh, the findings emphasize the necessity of integrated oral health and tobacco cessation initiatives in community clinics and educational settings.

Abstract

Background: Generalist Therapy (GT) is a nursing approach that integrates physical, psychological, social, and spiritual care tailored to individual needs. While commonly used in mental health nursing, its implementation varies across countries. In Indonesia, GT is delivered through culturally adapted implementation strategies. These include deep breathing exercises, pillow-punching, medication adherence, assertive verbal communication, and spiritual practices. Although GT has become a standard practice in Indonesian mental health services particularly in Aceh Province, research on patient perceptions, especially among those with schizophrenia and a history of violence, remains limited. This study aims to explore patients’ subjective experiences of GT. Methods: This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The interviews were analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method. Results: Three major themes emerged from the data: (1) the effectiveness of GT in emotional regulation, including managing anger, promoting calmness, and the role of medication in reducing negative emotions; (2) resilience enhancement, encompassing positive meaning-making, therapy commitment, improved social functioning, and self-control; and (3) barriers to GT implementation, including internal (emotional issues, low insight, restrictive personal beliefs, cognitive decline, and low participation) and external obstacles (limited facilities and overcrowded wards). Conclusion: GT is perceived as helpful in emotional regulation and recovery support. It strengthens resilience and improves patient insight, especially when supported by a conducive environment. Incorporating patients’ perspectives into therapeutic planning may enhance the effectiveness of mental health care.

Abstract

Background: Bullying is an aggressive behavior that negatively impacts students' mental health, potentially leading to depression. Boarding school environments are marked by intense peer dynamics, which may facilitate the occurrence of various forms of bullying. Methods: This cross-sectional study employed a quantitative approach involving 296 Indonesian boarding school students selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using the Form of Bullying Scale (FBS) and the depression subscale of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, including simple and multivariate logistic regression. Initial multivariate modeling included age, grade level, parental occupation, and parental income; however, only gender and bullying level remained significant and were retained in the final model. Results: The findings revealed that 38.5% of students experienced a high level of bullying, and 43.6% were identified as experiencing depression, with most cases classified as mild to moderate. Multivariate analysis showed that female gender (AOR = 3.716, p < 0.001) and high bullying exposure (AOR = 3.379, p < 0.001) significantly increased the risk of depression. Conclusion: Depression is prevalent among boarding school students, with over one-third also reporting high levels of bullying. Gender and bullying exposure were identified as key risk factors. These findings highlight the need for targeted preventive and promotive interventions, such as peer support programs, resilience workshops, and school staff training, focusing on strengthening students’ mental resilience and implementing gender-based anti-bullying strategies within the boarding school environment.

Abstract

Maternal mortality remains a devastating public health challenge across Sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria, in particular, accounts for nearly 20% of global maternal deaths, with a maternal mortality ratio (MMR) estimated at over 800 deaths per 100,000 live births (WHO, 2019). In Katsina State, recent hospital-based reviews report an MMR of approximately 1,200 per 100,000 live births, with hypertensive disorders and lack of antenatal care as leading contributors (Adeoye et al., 2025). This crisis is not merely statistical—it reflects systemic neglect, social inequity, and preventable loss. A Health Needs Assessment (HNA) offers a structured, evidence-based approach to uncovering these gaps and guiding targeted interventions. In Katsina, retrospective analyses show that over 68% of maternal deaths occurred in women who were not booked for antenatal care, and nearly half died within 24 hours of hospital presentation. These findings underscore the urgency of community-level engagement and early intervention. To move from data to action, multi-sectoral collaboration is essential. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives can play a transformative role in bridging funding and service gaps. The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) has documented Katsina’s MNCH budget allocations and highlighted the disconnect between policy standards and actual health outcomes (CSJ, 2016). By aligning CSR investments with HNA priorities—such as mobile outreach, midwife training, and health literacy campaigns—private sector actors can contribute meaningfully to maternal health equity. This model is not unprecedented. CSR-health partnerships have yielded measurable improvements in maternal outcomes in India and Kenya (Ameh et al., 2012). Nigeria’s private sector, particularly in extractive and telecom industries, has the capacity to replicate and scale such interventions. What’s needed is political will, ethical commitment, and strategic alignment with community needs. Maternal mortality is not an inevitable consequence of poverty—it is a failure of systems, priorities, and imagination. A well-executed HNA, backed by CSR engagement and policy accountability, can reshape maternal health trajectories in Katsina and across low-income Sub-Saharan Africa. Let this be the moment we reframe maternal health not as a distant development goal, but as a shared responsibility—grounded in evidence, driven by compassion, and sustained by collaboration.
