Abstract

Background: Mental health literacy (MHL) is crucial for adolescents to recognize, manage, and prevent mental health issues. In Indonesia, increasing adolescent mental health challenges and limited culturally adapted MHL tools highlight the need for a validated Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) in Bahasa Indonesia. Objective: This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the MHLS for Indonesian adolescents to assess their mental health literacy accurately. Methods: The study followed a three-stage validation process: translation, cultural adaptation, and content validation with a sample of 435 adolescents. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess construct validity, and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for reliability. Results: The translated MHLS showed high content validity (CVI ≥ 0.87) and good construct validity with fit indices (RMSEA = 0.046, CFI = 0.956). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.907), indicating reliability. Conclusion: The Bahasa Indonesia version of MHLS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mental health literacy in Indonesian adolescents, supporting culturally relevant interventions.

Abstract

Background: Physical activity and fear of childbirth (FoC) are recognized as influential factors on QoL. However, the interplay of these factors remains underexplored in the Indonesian context, where cultural and healthcare settings differ from high-income countries. Objective: To investigate the relationships between physical activity, fear of childbirth, and quality of life among pregnant women in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 250 pregnant women recruited through convenience sampling from healthcare facilities in Indonesia. Data were collected using validated instruments: the Physical Pregnancy Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ), Wijma Delivery Expectation Questionnaire (WDEQ-A) for FoC, and Quality-of-Life Gravidarum (QOL-GRAV) questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was employed to assess the relationships among physical activity, FoC, and QoL, adjusting for confounders. Results: The mean age of participants was 28.4 years (SD = 5.6), with 67.6% reporting moderate physical activity levels. FoC was prevalent, with 45.2% experiencing high levels, while 34.8% reported high QoL. Physical activity was positively associated with QoL (r = 0.52, p < 0.001), while FoC was negatively associated (r = -0.61, p < 0.001). Multiple regression revealed that physical activity (β = 0.39, p < 0.001) and FoC (β = -0.46, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of QoL, explaining 42.5% of the variance (R² = 0.425, p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of incorporating physical activity promotion and FoC mitigation into antenatal care to enhance maternal well-being.

Abstract

Background: Pressure ulcers, or bedsores, are a global healthcare challenge, impacting patient well-being and placing significant economic burdens on healthcare systems. Despite advances in prevention strategies, hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) remain prevalent due to aging populations, chronic conditions, and gaps in healthcare practices. Aims: This study evaluates the validity, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of the HAPUs E-book app as a digital tool for educating nurses and preventing pressure ulcers. Methods: Using the Content Validity Index (CVI), eight experts (five wound care specialists and three IT experts) assessed the app's content validity. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated from trials involving 30 nurses, while Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient was used to evaluate internal consistency across key components. Results: The app achieved a CVI score of 1.00, indicating strong content validity. Sensitivity was 95.83%, and specificity was 83.33%, demonstrating high diagnostic accuracy. Cronbach's Alpha scores ranged from 0.73 to 0.82, confirming strong internal consistency and reliability. Conclusion: The HAPUs E-book app is a reliable tool for nursing education and pressure ulcer prevention. Its high sensitivity, specificity, and validated content make it suitable for clinical use and continuous professional development. However, further studies with larger populations are needed to generalize findings and assess long-term outcomes. Keywords: Pressure ulcers; Content Validity Index; CVI; mHealth; Validity

Abstract

Introduction: Marital satisfaction, which includes aspects of communication, emotional intimacy, partner support, and quality of interaction, is believed to play an important role in maternal mental health after childbirth. This dissatisfaction can increase feelings of loneliness, stress, and anxiety, all of which can worsen the mental state of the postpartum mother. Women who experience dissatisfaction in their marital relationships have a higher tendency to experience postpartum depression. The prevalence of depressive disorders in the world population is 3-8% with 50% of cases occurring at the productive age of 20-50 years. World Health Organization. (WHO) states that depressive disorder affects 20% of women and 12% of men at some point in life. Objective: To find out if there is a relationship between marital satisfaction and the incidence of postpartum depression in East Bekasi. Methods: This study is an analytical study, meaning a study that aims to see the relationship or influence in the form of analytical descriptive research with a crossectional approach using the chisquere test, Research results: the results of the Chi-Square Statistical Test obtained a p-Value of 0.043 (p-value <0.05) so that Ha was accepted by Ho and rejected which means that there is a meaningful relationship between marital satisfaction and depression in postpartum mothers. Bottom Line: Women who are dissatisfied with their marriage are more at risk of postpartum depression. These findings are in line with many previous studies that show that the quality of a marital relationship can affect a mother's mental well-being after childbirth. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the aspect of marital satisfaction as part of efforts to prevent postpartum depression.

Abstract

Background: The Household Emergency Preparedness Scale (HEPS) is designed to measure preparedness levels within households. Despite its effectiveness in English-speaking populations, culturally adapted versions for non-English speakers remain limited, especially in Southeast Asia. Translating HEPS into Bahasa Indonesia could offer a relevant tool for Indonesian communities frequently affected by natural disasters. Objective: This study aimed to translate and validate the Bahasa Indonesia version of HEPS. Methods: This study involved a three-phase process, including translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric validation. Forward and backward translations were conducted, followed by expert panel reviews and content validity was evaluated through Aiken’s V coefficient, with ratings from five experts. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess construct validity. Reliability was measured using Cronbach’s alpha and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Results: The Bahasa Indonesia HEPS demonstrated strong content validity, with most items achieving an Aiken’s V score of 1.00. The CFA showed acceptable model fit across all subscales, with fit indices within recommended ranges (CFI > 0.90, RMSEA < 0.08). Reliability was high, with Cronbach’s alpha exceeding 0.80 for all subscales except one, which exhibited moderate inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.546–0.732). Conclusion: The Bahasa Indonesia HEPS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing household emergency preparedness in Indonesia. It holds promise for both community-level assessments and policy planning in disaster-prone areas, providing a culturally relevant measure to enhance emergency preparedness initiatives.

Abstract

Background: Early-childhood social-emotional development (SED) is strongly related to lifelong well-being and academic development and mental health resilience. The absence of tools that are suitably culturally and linguistically validated for assessing SED in Indonesia nevertheless limits early opportunities for identifying developmental concerns. The objective of this study was to translate and validate the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE) into Bahasa Indonesia so that it can be reliably and validly used in assessing SED for Indonesian children. Purpose: this study aimed to translate, cultural adaptation, and the validation of the ASQ:SE for Indonesian children 6 to 60 months of age, thus ensuring the soundness of any psychometric properties when applied in the local context. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 350 parents or caregivers of children aged 6–60 months from community health centers and early childhood education programs across urban and rural areas of Java, Indonesia. The ASQ:SE was translated forward and back, reviewed by experts, and subjected to cognitive debriefing. Psychometric properties were measured by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for its construct validity, using Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency, an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability, and known-groups validity to distinguish typically developing children from those with clinician-identified developmental delays. Results: The model fit from the CFA was acceptable (χ²/df = 2.15, CFI = 0.91; TLI = 0.89, RMSEA = 0.06). Internal consistency was very high (α = 0.86), and the test-retest reliability revealed very high stability (ICC = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.85–0.92). Known-groups validity established that the scores were significantly different (t = 5.62, p < 0.001) between typically developing children and those with developmental delays, confirming the discriminative ability of the tool. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of ASQ:SE is marked by reliability and validity that are strong enough to render it a culturally appropriate instrument for assessing the SED of Indonesian children. In clinical and educational settings, this can provide an avenue for building towards and supporting further developmental delay and thus child development.
