Abstract

Community-based ecotourism (CBET) is one of the most popular ecotourism programs in the world. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach that aims to comprehensively describe the process of utilizing natural resources in developing ecotourism through community service programs. Data collection was conducted through several main techniques, namely participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). Focus group discussions were aimed at key informants who had knowledge and active involvement in ecotourism development, to explore experiences, challenges, and strategies used in program implementation. Thematic analysis techniques were used to identify patterns, main themes, and relationships between variables in the context of ecotourism based on the use of natural resources. The results of the quantitative descriptive analysis show that the level of community participation in the ecotourism activities is in the very high category, with an average score of 4.21 out of 5 and a participation frequency of 87.5%. High community involvement, the formation of institutions such as Pokdarwis, and increased environmental understanding indicate that the Community-Based Ecotourism model can be implemented effectively at the village level.

Abstract

The utilization of information technology in healthcare services is increasingly crucial, particularly in managing patient data and information through the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS). Students of the Medical Records and Health Information Program need to be equipped with technical skills in using SIMRS as well as the ability to transform data into educational content for the community. Purpose: This community service activity aimed to enhance students’ competencies in SIMRS operations and encourage the use of data to support evidence-based health promotion. Methods: The program targeted 25 fourth-semester students who participated in participatory training and hands-on practice over two days. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests, direct observation during practice sessions, and assessment of the educational products created. Results: all   participants were able to operate SIMRS independently and develop educational media based on medical record data. Implications: This activity also improved students' analytical thinking and visual communication skills. Conclusion: The program demonstrates that hands-on SIMRS training effectively prepares students to become professionals who are adaptive to digital transformation in healthcare and capable of contributing to community-based health education.

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.
