Abstract

This study explores the role of community engagement in mental health advocacy, focusing on academically driven initiatives conducted by Ratna Yunita Setiyani Subardjo in Malaysia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method, the research draws on institutional reports and participatory observations, framed by community psychology and participatory action research (PAR). Key activities included mental health campaigns, psychological counseling, educational outreach, and capacity building, all implemented in collaboration with institutions such as Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and Universitas Aisyiyah Yogyakarta. The interventions addressed student mental health through culturally sensitive, bilingual services and peer support models. Findings indicate that academic institutions can serve as powerful agents of social transformation when their members actively engage in community well-being. These initiatives significantly contributed to emotional resilience, stigma reduction, and inclusive mental health literacy. This case highlights the potential of cross-cultural academic partnerships in promoting sustainable and human-centered mental health practices.

Abstract

This study explores the lives of street-selling children in Dili, Timor-Leste, who support their families through informal economic activities. Using a qualitative library-based research approach, the study highlights their dual roles as sources of family income and children with dreams and emotional needs. These children often work under harsh conditions and face social stigma. Only 40% of them have access to formal education. Despite this, they express strong educational aspirations, better livelihoods, and social recognition. The article emphasizes the urgency of inclusive educational policies, child protection laws, and government and civil society collaborative efforts to ensure a supportive environment for these vulnerable children. This research contributes to understanding the intersection of child labor, education access, and child welfare in post-conflict developing countries.

Abstract

Children and adolescents aged 6 to 15 years are a vulnerable age group prone to injuries due to high curiosity and limited awareness or response to hazards. Data indicate that approximately 42.56% of middle school students experience injuries, ranging from minor to severe. The most common types of injuries include falls, sprains, puncture wounds, lacerations, fractures, bruises, foreign body intrusion, and traffic accidents. The most frequent injury sites are the lower limbs (67.9%), followed by the upper limbs (32.7%) and the head (11.9%). This community service program was designed to equip middle school students at Ekkapap International School, Krabi, Thailand, with essential first aid knowledge for everyday injuries. The theme was selected to provide basic health literacy through practical, interactive, and engaging approaches. The methods included wound illustration, hands-on activities such as wound cleaning, dressing with gauze, applying adhesive bandages, and simulation and role-play as first responders in emergencies. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in the knowledge of 40 participating students. The average pre-test score was 61, which markedly increased to 93 in the post-test. Statistical analysis confirmed a highly significant difference between pre- and post-intervention scores. Visual and hands-on methods proved highly effective, even in a cross-cultural context, highlighting that empathy and the willingness to help are universal values.

Abstract

In recent years, social justice has become a central theme in global debates on equality, human rights, development, and political reform. Yet, much of this discourse remains shaped by Western frameworks, with limited scholarship engaging African perspectives on what constitutes a just society – and even less examining how African states themselves operationalize justice in pursuit of national development and peace. This paper contributes to filling that gap through a qualitative, multi-method study of Eritrea, where social justice is conceived not only as a moral imperative but also as a practical foundation for sustainable development, national cohesion, and long-term peace. The analysis traces the roots and manifestations of Eritrea’s approach, highlighting achievements in areas such as gender equality, social protection, and inclusive development, while also acknowledging persistent structural challenges. Eritrea’s pursuit of social justice is substantive, yet progress remains uneven and contingent on overcoming resource constraints, entrenched norms, and institutional limitations. Ultimately, Eritrea’s experience provides valuable insights for broader debates on social justice in low-income and post-conflict contexts, illustrating both the possibilities of state-led progress and the enduring obstacles to transformative change.

Abstract

This paper explores the innovative educational efforts undertaken by ‘Aisyiyah, the women’s wing of Muhammadiyah, to empower elderly women through special educational programs. ‘Aisiyah use traditional leather puppet shows (Wayang Kulit) and Hadrah Music as an innovative and culturally relevant medium to educate elderly women. By integrating local wisdom and interactive performance art, the project aims to enhance lifelong learning, health awareness, and social inclusion among older women. The findings affirm that education, even later in life, can be a powerful tool for dignity, empowerment, and intergenerational solidarity. The optimization of Wayang Kulit and Hadrah in this context not only preserves intangible cultural heritage but also serves as a powerful tool for participatory education, promoting active aging and community engagement.

Abstract

Globally, the ageing population is growing fast. Older adults face complex health needs and struggle to access appropriate care, especially in low- and middle-income countries. In Tanzania, rural elderly individuals face multiple barriers to healthcare. These include long distances to facilities, financial hardship, and a shortage of geriatric services. This study examined the challenges faced by elderly people in accessing healthcare in Akheri Ward, Arumeru District. The study employed a mixed-methods cross-sectional design involving 78 participants. The sample included elderly residents, community members, healthcare workers, and local leaders. Quantitative data came from structured questionnaires. Qualitative information was gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, and document reviews. Results showed that distance to facilities, poor transport options, and dependence on public health centers limited access. Socioeconomic barriers, including a lack of insurance, high medical costs, and low income, exacerbated the problem. Quality of care was mostly rated average. Long waits, limited explanations from providers, and a lack of geriatric specialists were common concerns. Ageism and weakening family support added further challenges. The study recommends decentralizing services, expanding mobile clinics, training more geriatric staff, improving financial protection, and reducing discrimination. These steps can help ensure that elderly people in rural Tanzania receive fair, respectful, and effective healthcare.

Abstract

Community participation is promoted as a strategy to enhance the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of road maintenance, particularly in developing nations like Tanzania. However, its implementation often faces significant challenges. This study evaluates the specific challenges hindering effective community participation in road maintenance projects within the Babati District Council, Tanzania. A mixed-methods approach was employed, collecting quantitative data through structured questionnaires from 399 community members selected via simple random sampling, and qualitative insights from key informant interviews with local leaders and TARURA Regional Manager. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings reveal that community participation is severely constrained by a combination of factors: a critical lack of awareness about projects, significant financial constraints among community members, weak coordination between local government and residents, an absence of technical skills and training, prevalent corruption and mismanagement of funds, and poor communication and transparency in planning. These challenges collectively undermine community trust, willingness, and capacity to engage meaningfully. The study concludes that for community participation to be effective, a multi-pronged strategy is essential.

Abstract

Anemia remains a common health problem among adolescents, characterized by low hemoglobin (Hb) levels that affect health, academic performance, productivity, and the overall quality of human resources in the future. This study aimed to determine the effect of anemia education on adolescents’ intention to undergo hemoglobin testing at SMP Negeri 1 Gamping, Yogyakarta. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 36 respondents participated in the study. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The participants, aged 12–13 years, consisted of an equal proportion of males and females. Before the intervention, most respondents (78%) demonstrated a moderate level of intention to undergo hemoglobin testing. After the anemia education intervention, the proportion of respondents with a high level of intention increased from 11% to 22%, while those with a low level of intention decreased from 11% to 8%. The Paired Sample t-Test yielded a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant effect of anemia education on adolescents’ intention to undergo hemoglobin testing. The findings suggest that anemia education is effective in enhancing adolescents’ intention to have their hemoglobin levels checked, making it a valuable preventive educational strategy for the early detection of anemia among adolescents.
