Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family socio-economic factors, environmental sanitation, and household physical conditions with the occurrence of stunting among toddlers in densely populated areas of Padang City, West Sumatra. In 2025, a cross-sectional study employing quantitative methods was conducted. The study population included all children aged 24 to 59 months. Using purposive sampling, 75 toddlers were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: measurable anthropometry, possession of a complete KIA/KMS record, and absence of chronic illnesses. Height measurements of toddlers followed the WHO 2006 anthropometric standards, household environmental conditions were assessed through observation, and data were collected via structured interviews. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant association between stunting and specific social and environmental factors. Toddlers from low-income families, with mothers of lower educational attainment, and living in substandard physical environments were found to be more susceptible to growth and development disorders compared to their better-off peers. Both univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that stunting is a multifaceted issue influenced by the interplay of the child’s biological age, maternal education level, household physical environment, and family socio-economic status. These findings highlight the necessity of ongoing health education programs to enhance family awareness and capabilities in fulfilling children’s nutritional needs, particularly in environments that are at higher risk for stunting, such as the home setting.

Abstract

Although the relationship between social support and students' mental health during the academic transition is rather complicated, it always has one thing in common: social support can strengthen learning involvement and lessen the intensity of some life strains.  As a result, educational establishments must offer a structured support system through counseling, peer mentoring, and an inclusive campus community.  The purpose of this study is to offer an empirical foundation for the development of campus policies that are more sensitive to the psychosocial requirements of students, particularly in the early stages of their transition to higher education. The research subjects were 75 new students chosen by purposive sampling. The data were collected thanks to internet questionnaire submissions of a 14-day duration with Google Form platform to facilitate accessibility and get rid administrative bias. The main research instruments were two. One of them is the Social Support Scale and the Psychological Mental Health Scale. All were conducted on the social support variable's frequency distribution and descriptive statistics, and on the Distribution of Student Mental Health. The coefficients of bivariate analysis uncovered a strong direct relationship between Univariate analysis was performed on social support variables and mental health among university students. The Final Result of the Study gives confirmation that strengthening one's social support system should be closely linked to creating complete written plans for students undergoing academic transition, if we are to keep them healthy both during that period and onwards into their further studies.

Abstract

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is one of the diseases that often affects toddlers, especially in densely populated environments that have a high risk of transmission. Purpose: this study aims to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of ARI in children under five who live in an environment with high population density. Methods: the method used is observational with cross-sectional design on 50 toddlers purposively selected in densely populated areas. Data collection was conducted through interviews using questionnaires and observation of Home environmental conditions. Univariate analysis was used to describe the characteristics of respondents, while bivariate analysis with chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between risk factors with the incidence of ARI. Results: the results showed that exposure to cigarette smoke in the Home (p = 0.005), inadequate ventilation (p = 0.002), and density of occupancy (p = 0.020) were significantly associated with the incidence of ARI in toddlers. Implications: the implication of this study is the need for increased family education on the importance of a healthy home environment and reduced exposure to secondhand smoke to prevent ARI. Conclusion: environmental factors and family behavior are the main determinants of ARI risk in toddlers in densely populated environments, so environmental health interventions and health education are needed.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a short-duration digital education intervention based on interactive videos distributed through platforms commonly used by adolescents in Semarang. The study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the average knowledge score before and after being given digital-based education (p = 0.000). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that digital educational interventions had a positive impact on increasing adolescents' knowledge of early breast cancer detection. The findings of this study are expected to form the basis for developing more effective, applicable, and sustainable technology-based health learning models in the context of an ever-evolving digital landscape. This finding confirms that the use of digital media is an approach that aligns with the characteristics of adolescents and is relevant in improving health literacy related to early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract

The post-pandemic shift in education has accelerated the adoption of hybrid learning, which integrates both online and face-to-face instruction. Within this setting, indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a vital role in affecting students’ comfort, health, and productivity. This study investigates the relationship between IAQ and student productivity in the hybrid learning era. A quantitative approach was employed using a correlational survey design, involving several schools selected through purposive sampling. IAQ parameters measured included carbon dioxide (CO₂), temperature, relative humidity, and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), using standardized digital instruments. Student productivity was evaluated via a structured questionnaire addressing concentration, focus, and academic performance. Descriptive analysis revealed that average levels of CO₂ (1185.6 ppm), PM2.5 (41.7 µg/m³), and PM10 (64.2 µg/m³) exceeded health standards, whereas temperature (28.3°C) and humidity (61.2%) remained within moderate limits. Productivity scores were in the fair-to-good range (average concentration 3.7; focus 3.5; academic achievement 77.8), with notable differences observed across classes. Pearson correlation analysis indicated significant negative associations between CO₂, PM2.5, and PM10 with all productivity indicators (p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression identified CO₂ (β = -0.412) and PM2.5 (β = -0.387) as the most influential factors in reducing student productivity. These results suggest that poor indoor air quality, particularly elevated CO₂ levels and fine particulate matter, is a key determinant that can impede the effectiveness of hybrid learning.

Abstract

Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of school-based comprehensive sexuality education in reducing teenage pregnancy rates through improving knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviours. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design on 200 secondary school students in an area with high pregnancy rates. The UNESCO guideline-based comprehensive sexuality education intervention covered biological, emotional, social aspects, and decision-making skills delivered through active learning. Data were collected using a validated structured questionnaire and analysed using t-test and multiple linear regression. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitude, and pregnancy prevention behaviour scores in the intervention group compared to the control (p < 0.001). The regression model revealed that knowledge and attitude were the main predictors of prevention behaviour with a contribution of 54.2%. These findings confirm that comprehensive sexuality education is effective in improving reproductive health literacy and shaping healthy and responsible sexual behaviour. Therefore, the main recommendation is to integrate this programme into the national curriculum and strengthen teacher training to support sustainable teenage pregnancy prevention.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health issues are becoming more and more of a global concern.  However, the stigma associated with mental illness continues to be a significant obstacle to getting psychological assistance, particularly for young people. Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between the level of stigma against mental illness with the tendency of adolescents to seek professional help. Methods: The research method used is descriptive quantitative survey approach. The sample consisted of 75 adolescents aged 15-18 years who were selected purposively. The instrument used was a questionnaire consisting of two scales: the scale of stigma against mental illness and the scale of seeking psychological help. Results: The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between the level of stigma with the tendency to seek help (r = -0.56, p < 0.01), which means that the higher the level of stigma, the lower the tendency of adolescents to seek professional help. In addition, adolescent girls tend to have less stigma and are more open to seeking help than adolescent boys. Implications: The implications of these findings suggest the importance of mental health education interventions in schools to reduce stigma and improve mental health literacy. The involvement of teachers, counselors, and parents is key in creating an environment that supports teens to speak up and seek help without fear of being judged. Conclusion: In conclusion, stigma around mental illness is a major factor in preventing teenagers from seeking treatment, and lowering stigma is a calculated move to increase access to mental health care.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between industrial noise exposure, occupational stress, and mental health among manufacturing workers using a quantitative cross-sectional design. From a population of 450 workers, 212 respondents were selected through stratified random sampling. Noise exposure was assessed using a sound level meter with the time-weighted average (TWA) method, while occupational stress and mental health were measured using the Job Stress Scale (JSS) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Data were analyzed descriptively, bivariately with the Chi-Square test, and multivariately with logistic regression. Results showed that most workers were exposed to moderate noise levels (85–90 dB), with 29.2% experiencing high exposure (>90 dB). Moderate stress was reported by 44.3% of respondents, and 25.5% experienced high stress levels. Mental health assessment indicated that 51.9% of workers exhibited mild to moderate–severe psychological distress. Chi-Square analysis demonstrated significant associations between noise exposure and both occupational stress (p = 0.003) and mental health status (p = 0.021). Multivariate findings identified high noise exposure (>90 dB) and prolonged working hours (>8 hours/day) as dominant predictors of increased risk for occupational stress (OR = 2.85) and mental health disorders (OR = 2.34). These results highlight that industrial noise functions not only as an audiological hazard but also as a meaningful psychosocial stressor. The study emphasizes the necessity of integrating noise control strategies, regulation of working hours, and structured stress management interventions into Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) programs to reduce psychological burdens and enhance worker well-being in manufacturing environments.

Abstract

The increasing use of e-cigarettes among adolescents poses a serious public health challenge. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a digital-based anti-e-cigarette campaign on changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavioral intentions of high school adolescents. The method used was a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design, involving 240 students divided into treatment and control groups. The intervention, a digital campaign through popular social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp), was implemented for four weeks, with content consisting of short videos, posters, and infographics.The results showed a significant increase in the treatment group compared to the control group. The average knowledge score increased by ±19.3 points, negative attitudes toward vaping increased by ±1.2 points, and healthy behavior intentions increased by ±1.3 points (p < 0.001). Inferential analysis using paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and ANOVA confirmed that these differences were due to the digital campaign intervention, with a significant contribution to the variability of change (partial η² 0.37–0.41). Furthermore, qualitative findings from focus group discussions revealed that the digital content was considered engaging, easy to understand, and capable of motivating adolescents to refuse vaping, although some respondents considered the campaign duration too short.In conclusion, digital campaigns have proven effective in improving health literacy, shaping negative attitudes toward e-cigarettes, and strengthening healthy behavioral intentions in adolescents. Digital-based educational strategies can be a relevant, adaptive, and potentially integrated preventive approach into broader public health programs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between food insecurity, nutritional status, and mental health among university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a state university in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected using descriptive statistics, Chi-Square tests, and logistic regression analysis. The independent variable in this study was food insecure, which was measured using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) instrument. A total of 372 students from different faculties at the university participated in the study. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of both conditions. The results of this study show that students with food security were nearly twice as likely to be undernourished compared to their food-secure peers (OR = 1.89; 95% CI: 1.10-3.24; p = 0.021), and those with more severe food security faced an even higher risk (OR=2.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20-3.83). Students with food-security had more than double the odds of experiencing mild to severe depression (P=0.005), while those with severe food-insecurity had an even greater risk (P0.001), highlighting the substantial impact of inadequate food access on student well-being. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for universities in formulating intervention policies, ranging from the provision of healthy food to psychological support services, as well as enriching the national literature on this issue.
