Abstract

Work-related diseases remain a significant global concern, necessitating robust Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management systems to mitigate risks and ensure worker well-being. This study systematically reviews existing literature on OHS implementation and its effectiveness in preventing occupational illnesses. A comprehensive search of academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, was conducted to analyze peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024. The selection criteria focused on empirical research evaluating the impact of OHS policies, worker training programs, and ergonomic interventions on workplace safety. The findings indicate that structured OHS strategies, such as continuous safety education, workplace ergonomic adjustments, and mental health integration, significantly enhance compliance with safety regulations and reduce occupational health risks. However, key challenges remain, including inadequate worker awareness, insufficient regulatory enforcement, and barriers to adopting technological innovations. Addressing these challenges requires increased investment in training programs, stronger legal frameworks, and the development of workplace safety technologies. This review underscores the need for a holistic approach to OHS management, integrating both physical and psychological health measures. Future research should explore long-term effectiveness assessments of OHS policies, sector-specific risk mitigation strategies, and advancements in digital safety monitoring. Strengthening OHS frameworks globally will contribute to improved workplace conditions, reduced disease incidence, and enhanced worker productivity.

Abstract

The LGBTQ community faces significant barriers in accessing inclusive healthcare services, particularly regarding sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention. Peer education has emerged as an effective strategy for improving STI awareness and promoting safer health behaviors within this community. This study employs a qualitative case study approach, conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews with LGBTQ individuals in Palu, Indonesia, to assess the impact of peer education on STI prevention. Findings indicate that peer education effectively enhances STI awareness and encourages preventive behaviors by leveraging community trust and shared lived experiences. Participants reported increased knowledge, behavioral shifts toward safer practices, and greater comfort in discussing sexual health issues with peer educators. Despite these benefits, the study identifies structural barriers, including financial constraints, healthcare discrimination, and limited government support, as significant obstacles to program effectiveness. Addressing these challenges requires enhanced policy support, institutionalized LGBTQ-inclusive healthcare training, and expanded funding for community-based interventions. This study contributes to public health research by emphasizing the importance of peer-led education in STI prevention strategies and advocating for multi-sectoral collaboration to ensure sustainable, inclusive healthcare services for LGBTQ individuals.

Abstract

Maternal health education is a key determinant in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study explores the effectiveness of community-based interventions and digital health tools in enhancing maternal knowledge and healthcare utilization. A systematic review was conducted using data from reputable databases to assess the impact of various maternal health education programs across different socio-economic and cultural contexts. Findings indicate that community-based maternal health education significantly improves knowledge retention and antenatal care adherence, while digital health tools enhance accessibility and engagement. However, socio-economic disparities, digital literacy limitations, and cultural norms hinder equitable access to maternal health information. Addressing these challenges requires integrated policy approaches, increased investment in healthcare infrastructure, and targeted digital literacy programs. This study underscores the need for sustainable maternal health education initiatives, combining technology with traditional health interventions. Future research should focus on assessing the long-term effects of digital health education, exploring artificial intelligence applications, and involving male partners in maternal health programs. Strengthening these efforts can contribute to a substantial reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality rates, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Gaming disorder (GD) has become a growing public health issue among children and adolescents, affecting their mental health and academic performance. This systematic review analyzed recent empirical studies from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to assess the psychological and educational impacts of GD. Findings indicate that GD is significantly linked to increased levels of anxiety, depression, and impaired emotional regulation. Neurobiological evidence shows that GD alters dopamine activity, reducing impulse control and reinforcing reward seeking behaviors. Academically, children with GD demonstrate lower performance due to diminished concentration and cognitive engagement. Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and parental supervision are commonly proposed interventions, their application remains inconsistent across contexts. This review highlights the need for unified diagnostic criteria and the implementation of school based support mechanisms. The study contributes to existing literature by synthesizing neurobiological and psychosocial evidence on GD, offering direction for culturally responsive intervention models and future longitudinal research.

Abstract

Health misinformation on social media has become a pressing public health challenge, particularly among individuals with low digital health literacy. This study examines the relationship between digital health literacy and the spread of misinformation, analyzing systemic factors that contribute to the persistence of misleading health content. A systematic literature review was conducted using academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, with a focus on peer-reviewed studies published in the past decade. The review identifies key demographic, social, and economic determinants influencing digital health literacy and explores the role of social media platforms in misinformation dissemination. Findings reveal that individuals with limited digital health literacy struggle to critically evaluate health-related content, making them more vulnerable to misinformation. Systemic factors, including weak regulatory oversight and social media algorithms prioritizing engagement-driven content, further facilitate the spread of misleading health information. Effective interventions, such as digital literacy education, peer-led initiatives, and collaboration between social media platforms and public health organizations, are crucial in mitigating misinformation. The study highlights the need for targeted policy reforms, improved algorithmic transparency, and community-based health education to enhance digital health literacy and misinformation resilience. Future research should focus on the long-term efficacy of digital health literacy interventions and explore AI-driven solutions for misinformation detection.
