Abstract

Hypertension remains a major global health concern due to its high prevalence and association with cardiovascular complications. Poor medication adherence is one of the leading factors contributing to uncontrolled blood pressure, resulting in adverse health outcomes. Recent advances in digital health, particularly mobile health (mHealth) applications, have been widely used to support self-management of chronic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth applications in improving medication adherence among hypertensive patients. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 120 participants randomly assigned into intervention and control groups. The intervention group used an mHealth application designed to provide medication reminders, educational content, and self-monitoring tools for 12 weeks, while the control group received standard care. Adherence levels were measured using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), and blood pressure control was also assessed. Results indicated a significant improvement in adherence scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Additionally, systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were better controlled among patients using the application. These findings suggest that mHealth applications can effectively enhance medication-taking behavior and contribute to better hypertension management. Further studies with larger samples and longer follow-up are recommended to confirm long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or resistance. Physical activity has been widely recognized as a non-pharmacological strategy to control blood glucose. However, limited evidence exists regarding its effectiveness in rural Indonesian populations. This study aims to evaluate the effect of physical activity on blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM in Masbagek District, East Lombok. A quasi-experimental study with a pre–post test design was conducted from January to April 2024. A total of 80 participants diagnosed with T2DM were recruited using purposive sampling. The intervention group (n=40) performed moderate-intensity physical activity (30 minutes of brisk walking, 5 days/week) for 12 weeks, while the control group (n=40) continued routine care. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests. The intervention group showed a significant reduction in mean fasting blood glucose from 178.5 ± 22.4 mg/dL to 142.3 ± 18.9 mg/dL (p < 0.001), whereas the control group showed no significant change (176.8 ± 20.1 mg/dL to 173.2 ± 21.4 mg/dL, p = 0.214). Regular moderate-intensity physical activity significantly reduced blood glucose levels in T2DM patients in Masbagek District. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating structured physical activity into community-based diabetes management programs in rural areas.

Abstract

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health problems worldwide, often leading to impaired quality of life and decreased functioning. Conventional pharmacological treatments are effective but may present side effects and limited long-term adherence. Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention, focusing on awareness and acceptance of thoughts and emotions to reduce anxiety symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MBT in reducing anxiety levels among patients with clinically diagnosed anxiety disorders. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was conducted at a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from January to June 2024. A total of 80 patients were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (MBT, n=40) or the control group (standard care, n=40). The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to measure anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Results showed a significant reduction in anxiety scores in the MBT group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). These findings indicate that MBT is an effective complementary intervention for reducing anxiety symptoms and can be integrated into routine clinical practice. Future studies should explore long-term outcomes and its applicability across diverse populations.

Abstract

Excessive gadget use has become a significant occupational health concern, particularly among office workers who spend extended hours using computers, smartphones, and other digital devices. Prolonged exposure often leads to poor posture, repetitive movements, and increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to investigate the relationship between gadget exposure and musculoskeletal complaints among office workers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 250 office employees in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Beijing, China. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire that assessed duration of gadget use, ergonomic practices, and musculoskeletal symptoms. The results indicated that office workers who used gadgets for more than 6 hours daily had a significantly higher prevalence of neck pain (62.8%), lower back pain (48.5%), and wrist discomfort (35.4%) compared to those with shorter exposure (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that prolonged gadget use, lack of ergonomic awareness, and absence of rest breaks were independent predictors of musculoskeletal complaints. These findings highlight the urgent need for ergonomic interventions and organizational policies promoting healthy digital habits. This research contributes to occupational health literature by providing cross-cultural evidence of gadget-related musculoskeletal risks and emphasizing preventive workplace strategies.

Abstract

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations characterized by high levels of added sugar, fat, sodium, and food additives, and have become a dominant component of modern diets. Recent evidence suggests that increased UPF consumption is strongly linked to obesity and other metabolic disorders. This study aims to investigate the impact of high UPF consumption on obesity risk among young adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 320 participants aged 18–30 years in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and Shanghai, China. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire and categorized based on the NOVA classification system. Body mass index (BMI) was measured and obesity was defined according to WHO standards. Logistic regression analysis was applied to examine the association between UPF consumption and obesity risk. The findings revealed that individuals with the highest tertile of UPF consumption had a 2.6-fold increased risk of obesity compared to those in the lowest tertile (OR=2.63; 95% CI: 1.55–4.47, p<0.01). Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and packaged snacks were the strongest predictors of obesity. These results emphasize the urgent need for dietary interventions and public health strategies to reduce UPF consumption among young adults. This research contributes to existing evidence by providing cross-country data from Indonesia and China, highlighting the global relevance of dietary patterns and obesity prevention strategies.
