Abstract

Indonesia has abundant fishery resources, but the level of fish consumption among school children is still low. This study aims to review the literature related to the utilization of marine fish consumption, especially tuna, in improving the health and learning achievement of students from elementary school to high school/vocational school/Islamic high school. Marine fish, especially tuna, are rich in protein, omega-3, DHA, and EPA which play an important role in brain development and endurance. Studies show that regular fish consumption can improve memory, focus on learning, and prevent stunting in children. However, low education, access to quality fish, and children's preference for fast food are the main challenges. Various government programs such as the Gerakan Memasyarakatkan Makan Ikan (GEMARIKAN) have been implemented to increase fish consumption among students. This study proposes innovative strategies such as diversification of fish processing in a form that is more attractive to children and more intensive education about the benefits of fish consumption for health. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for agency/institution policies in increasing fish consumption in educational environments in order to create a healthier and smarter generation.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on psychological stress and immune function in healthy adults. In a randomized controlled trial, 68 participants were assigned to either an 8-week MBSR program or an active control condition consisting of health education. Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Outcome measures included psychological questionnaires (Perceived Stress Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire) and immunological parameters (pro-inflammatory cytokines: IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β; anti-inflammatory cytokine: IL-10; C-reactive protein; natural killer cell activity; T-cell proliferation). Diurnal cortisol patterns were also assessed. Results demonstrated that MBSR participants, compared to controls, showed significant reductions in perceived stress, anxiety, and depression, along with increases in mindfulness facets (all p < 0.001). MBSR also led to significant decreases in pro-inflammatory markers IL-6 (p = 0.002) and TNF-α (p = 0.005), increases in anti-inflammatory IL-10 (p = 0.004), enhanced natural killer cell activity (p = 0.003), and normalized diurnal cortisol patterns (p = 0.002). Many of these effects persisted at the 3-month follow-up. Correlation analyses revealed significant associations between changes in psychological measures, particularly the non-reactivity facet of mindfulness, and changes in immune parameters. These findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may reduce psychological stress and simultaneously modulate immune function through psychoneuroimmunological pathways, potentially offering a complementary approach to stress-related immune disorders and preventive healthcare strategies. Future research should extend these findings to clinical populations and investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these effects.

Abstract

Sleep disturbances have become an increasingly common public health issue in modern society, with potentially significant metabolic consequences. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and duration with key metabolic health markers. In this cross-sectional observational study, data from 1,250 adult participants (aged 25-65 years) were collected using a combination of polysomnography, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires, and anthropometric and biochemical measurements. Parameters assessed included fasting blood glucose, lipid profiles, insulin sensitivity, inflammatory markers, and indicators of body composition. Results revealed significant inverse correlations between sleep duration and fasting blood glucose levels (p<0.001), insulin resistance (p<0.001), and inflammatory markers including CRP (p<0.01). Additionally, poor sleep quality was independently associated with unfavorable lipid profiles, including elevated triglycerides (p<0.01) and reduced HDL (p<0.05), after adjusting for potential confounding factors such as age, gender, and body mass index. Subgroup analyses revealed that sleep effects on metabolic parameters were more pronounced in individuals with higher body mass indices and those with pre-existing metabolic syndrome. These findings affirm the importance of adequate sleep patterns in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and suggest that interventions targeting sleep improvement may have therapeutic applications in the management of metabolic disorders.

Abstract

Chronic diseases represent a significant global health burden, necessitating innovative approaches to enhance management and improve outcomes. Digital health interventions have emerged as promising tools to address the complex challenges of chronic disease management. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on the effectiveness, implementation factors, and economic implications of digital health interventions across multiple chronic conditions. Implementation success was associated with user-centered design, simple interfaces, and healthcare provider involvement, while technical difficulties and limited digital literacy emerged as significant barriers. Economic analyses, available for 18 studies, indicated cost-effectiveness for interventions targeting respiratory conditions and diabetes. Digital health interventions offer effective approaches to enhance chronic disease management, with benefits spanning clinical outcomes, patient experience, and potentially healthcare resource utilization. Future research should prioritize longer-term evaluations, standardized outcome reporting, and studies in diverse populations to ensure equitable access and benefit. Successful implementation requires attention to design, integration with healthcare systems, and accessibility across diverse patient populations.

Abstract

Sleep disturbances are common among postoperative patients and can significantly delay healing, elevate pain perception, and reduce psychological well-being. Multiple interrelated factors—including pain, anxiety, and environmental discomfort are believed to influence postoperative sleep quality, yet limited evidence exists in Indonesian hospital contexts. This study aimed to determine the relationship between environmental comfort, anxiety, and pain intensity with sleep quality among postoperative patients in surgical wards. A cross-sectional analytical survey was conducted in the Surgical Ward of the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Makassar, Indonesia. A total of 60 postoperative patients were selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and standardized instruments: the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, and a Guttman-based questionnaire for environmental comfort and sleep fulfillment. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Findings revealed that 68.3% of patients experienced moderate-to-severe pain, 63.3% reported anxiety, and 55% perceived their ward environment as uncomfortable. Sleep inadequacy was reported by 65% of respondents. Significant associations were found between sleep fulfillment and pain intensity (p = 0.00), anxiety (p = 0.00), and environmental comfort (p = 0.00). Pain, anxiety, and environmental comfort are key determinants of sleep quality in postoperative patients. These findings underscore the need for holistic nursing interventions that integrate physical, psychological, and environmental care to promote optimal recovery and patient well-being.

Abstract

Child malnutrition remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly among children under five years old. In response, the government launched the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) or Free Nutritious Meals program to provide balanced meals and reduce disparities in food access. However, its success depends on the integration of food availability, nutrition education, and community participation. This paper aims to describe the role of free nutritious meal programs and food availability in improving child nutrition and strengthening community food systems within the MBG framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through literature-based and policy analysis. Data and insights were synthesized from government reports, academic publications, and international references related to child nutrition, food systems, and public health programs from 2018–2025. The analysis highlights that the MBG program has the potential to improve children’s nutritional status when supported by local food production and consistent nutrition education. Community involvement is essential to ensure food diversity, safety, and sustainability. Strengthening partnerships among schools, health centers, and local producers can enhance program efficiency and long-term impact. The MBG initiative serves as more than a feeding program, it is a strategic approach to strengthen community nutrition. Integrating continuous education, local food empowerment, and community ownership can transform the program into a sustainable ecosystem for improving children’s health and achieving Indonesia’s vision of a healthy generation.

Abstract

Maternal and neonatal mortality remain major public health concerns in Indonesia, particularly in rural and under-resourced regions. Despite national policies promoting emergency obstetric and neonatal care (PONED), disparities persist due to limited human resource capacity, inadequate facility preparedness, and weak referral coordination. This study describes the design, implementation, and outcomes of the GADAR PONED 2025 initiative, a provincial-level program aimed at improving the quality and responsiveness of emergency maternal and neonatal services in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using a descriptive and participatory approach, the program integrated structured training, simulation-based learning, and inter-facility coordination across 15 district-level puskesmas. The intervention involved multidisciplinary teams of doctors, midwives, and nurses, emphasizing clinical skills, communication, and decision-making in emergency scenarios. Data were drawn from training evaluations, supervision reports, and stakeholder feedback. Findings showed a significant improvement in participants’ clinical competency, teamwork, and confidence in managing obstetric and neonatal emergencies. Facility assessments indicated enhanced preparedness through better resource allocation and referral response times. The establishment of communication networks among PONED teams and hospitals further reduced delays in emergency handling. The GADAR PONED 2025 initiative demonstrates that integrating human resource training with system preparedness and referral coordination can effectively strengthen maternal and neonatal emergency care. This provincial model provides a practical framework for scaling up sustainable, decentralized health interventions aligned with Indonesia’s efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3.1 and 3.2).

Abstract

Vaccine hesitancy remains a global challenge that threatens public health achievements, particularly in the post-pandemic era. Beyond scientific efficacy, vaccine acceptance is largely determined by how health messages are communicated, perceived, and trusted. Behavioral Change Communication (BCC) provides a framework that integrates psychological, social, and cultural factors to encourage informed and voluntary participation in vaccination programs. This study aims to examine the conceptual role of BCC in promoting vaccine acceptance and rebuilding public trust in health interventions, focusing on its application within the Indonesian context. A qualitative conceptual analysis was conducted using literature published between 2019 and 2025. The study synthesized theoretical models such as the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Social Ecological Model (SEM), along with national and international reports on vaccine communication and public behavior. The findings highlight that empathetic, transparent, and participatory communication strategies are key to overcoming misinformation and strengthening public trust. BCC operates through four dimensions message design, media selection, community participation, and behavioral reinforcement each contributing to sustained vaccine confidence. Digital communication platforms further expand outreach but require ethical regulation to prevent misinformation. BCC should be institutionalized as a core strategy in vaccination programs and public health policy. By fostering dialogue, empathy, and community engagement, health systems can transform communication from one-way persuasion into genuine partnership, leading to improved vaccine acceptance and collective health resilience.

Abstract

Effective communication forms the foundation of safe and high-quality midwifery care. Beyond the transmission of medical information, communication in midwifery involves empathy, respect, and therapeutic interaction that build trust and improve maternal experiences. In Indonesia, communication competence among midwives plays a crucial role in achieving national maternal health goals and reducing preventable complications. This paper explores the conceptual framework and practical relevance of effective communication in midwifery practice, emphasizing its role in strengthening patient trust, improving service satisfaction, and enhancing maternal health outcomes. Using a descriptive qualitative and literature-based approach, this study synthesizes theoretical and empirical evidence from midwifery, communication, and behavioral health disciplines. Sources from 2018–2025, including textbooks, journal articles, and WHO and ICM guidelines, were analyzed through narrative synthesis focusing on three key dimensions: interpersonal, informational, and therapeutic communication. The analysis revealed that effective midwifery communication characterized by active listening, empathy, and clarity significantly increases maternal trust, adherence to care, and satisfaction with services. Communication also reduces anxiety, facilitates early complication detection, and strengthens interprofessional collaboration within maternity teams. Barriers such as workload, cultural diversity, and time constraints highlight the need for continuous professional development and institutional support. Effective communication is a clinical skill that integrates emotional intelligence with technical expertise. By embedding communication training into midwifery education and policy standards, healthcare systems can foster trustful, patient-centered relationships that contribute to improved maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
