Abstract

Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease continue to pose major global health challenges due to persistent treatment nonadherence. Although biomedical interventions have improved, many patients still struggle to follow treatment plans, leading to worsening health conditions, higher healthcare costs, and reduced quality of life. This study examines health psychology approaches to improving treatment adherence among patients with chronic illnesses using a qualitative method to understand their experiences, perceptions, and behavior. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively selected patients, and thematic analysis was used to explore psychological, social, and cultural factors affecting adherence. The results show that adherence is strongly shaped by self-efficacy, coping mechanisms, emotional well-being, and health literacy. Social support from family and community, together with culturally sensitive approaches that respect patient beliefs, also influences adherence. Interventions rooted in health psychology, including counseling, motivational interviewing, and patient-centered education, were effective when tailored to patient needs and aimed at building trust and empowerment. The study emphasizes that treatment adherence is not only a biomedical issue but a complex interaction of cognitive, emotional, social, and cultural elements. Healthcare providers and policymakers are encouraged to adopt biopsychosocial and culturally competent strategies to strengthen adherence and improve long-term outcomes.

Abstract

This quantitative study examines how digital health interventions (DHIs), such as web-based platforms, telemonitoring, and mobile apps, affect patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in terms of self-efficacy, medication adherence, and glycemic control.  150 adults between the ages of 30 and 65 who had been using DHIs for at least three months were gathered from Makassar, Indonesia, outpatient clinics.  A standardized questionnaire on digital usage, the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES), and clinical records of HbA1c were used to collect data.  Multiple regression, t-tests, and Pearson correlation were among the statistical analyses carried out.  The findings showed that self-efficacy, adherence, and engagement with digital tools were significantly positively correlated, and that regular users had reduced HbA1c levels.  According to regression analysis, self-efficacy, adherence, and DHI use together accounted for 49% of the variance in glycemic control.  When compared to infrequent users, regular users saw improvements in HbA1c that were clinically significant.  All things considered, DHIs successfully improve clinical and behavioral outcomes in the management of diabetes.  In order to improve long-term clinical results, empower self-management, and enhance patient-centered treatment, the study highlights the integration of digital tools into healthcare systems.

Abstract

This study explores stress and coping strategies among cancer survivors from a health psychology perspective. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 25 adult survivors from metropolitan hospitals and support groups. The study identifies multiple sources of stress, including emotional distress, fear of recurrence, social isolation, and financial challenges. Coping strategies were categorized into problem-focused, emotion-focused, and meaning-focused approaches. Problem-focused strategies, such as organizing treatment schedules and lifestyle adjustments, enhanced perceived control. Emotion-focused strategies, including mindfulness and social support, reduced psychological distress, while meaning-focused coping promoted resilience and post-traumatic growth. Findings highlight the interdependence of coping strategies and the importance of tailored psychosocial interventions that address both individual and social dimensions of stress. The study contributes to health psychology literature by integrating survivors’ lived experiences with theoretical frameworks on stress and coping, offering practical implications for designing comprehensive support programs that enhance psychological well-being and quality of life in cancer survivorship.

Abstract

Community participation is a key factor in the success of preventive health programs, yet active engagement remains difficult due to low health literacy, limited access to information, and cultural barriers. Health advocates play an important role in connecting healthcare systems with communities by providing education, mobilization, and context-specific support. This study aims to assess the contribution of health advocates in strengthening community participation in preventive health programs through a quantitative approach. Using a correlational research design, data were obtained from a stratified random sample of community members involved in preventive health initiatives. A structured questionnaire was used to measure health advocate activities and levels of community participation. Descriptive and inferential analyses, including correlation and multiple regression, were applied to examine the relationships between variables. The findings show a strong positive relationship between health advocate activities and community participation, with advocacy contributing significantly to increased engagement. Education level also influenced participation, indicating the need for strategies to address health literacy gaps. The results highlight the importance of investing in the training and support of health advocates to enhance program effectiveness, foster community ownership, and achieve sustainable public health outcomes.

Abstract

The evolving complexity of public health challenges necessitates innovative pedagogical approaches that bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application. This study investigates the integration of simulation-based learning (SBL) and case-based learning (CBL) in public health education, focusing on their impact on students’ engagement, critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and collaborative skills. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, the study engaged 20 undergraduate students and 5 educators from a public health program, purposively selected to capture diverse experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective journals, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and emergent themes. Findings reveal that students perceive SBL as highly engaging, fostering active participation, decision-making, and reflective learning, while CBL enhances analytical reasoning, evidence-based problem-solving, and the ability to apply theoretical concepts to practical public health scenarios. Educators highlighted that facilitating these innovative methods requires careful planning, facilitative guidance, and iterative feedback but significantly enhances student learning outcomes and collaborative skill development. Despite challenges such as time constraints, resource limitations, and initial student anxiety, both students and educators recognized the transformative potential of SBL and CBL in cultivating essential competencies for public health practice. The study underscores the value of integrating experiential and case-driven learning strategies into public health curricula to prepare graduates for complex, real-world challenges. These findings have significant implications for curriculum design, faculty development, and educational policy, advocating for the prioritization of active learning methods to produce competent, confident, and adaptable public health professionals.

Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial developmental period during which mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can arise. This study aims to examine the impact of peer and parental support on adolescent mental health. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Data from 500 adolescents were analyzed to assess how peer and parental support influence anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Results indicated that both peer and parental support were significantly associated with better mental health outcomes. Peer support was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression, and positively correlated with self-esteem. Similarly, parental support was found to reduce anxiety and depression and promote higher self-esteem. Additionally, the interaction between peer and parental support strengthened these effects, showing that both forms of support work synergistically. The study highlights the importance of fostering both peer and parental relationships to improve adolescent mental health. These findings contribute to the body of knowledge on adolescent well-being and suggest that future research should explore the long-term effects of peer and parental support on mental health throughout different stages of life.

Abstract

Dengue fever continues to pose a significant public health threat in densely populated tropical cities, with Indonesia experiencing recurrent outbreaks in urban centers such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung. This study investigates the relationship between urban waste management practices and dengue transmission from 2018 to 2023, employing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative epidemiological analysis with spatial mapping and qualitative stakeholder interviews. Quantitative results indicate a significant negative correlation between waste collection frequency and dengue incidence, suggesting that regular waste removal effectively reduces mosquito breeding sites and lowers transmission risk. Conversely, poor waste segregation and accumulation of discarded containers contribute to increased Aedes aegypti habitats, elevating dengue prevalence. Spatial analysis highlights that neighborhoods with inadequate waste management infrastructure experience higher mosquito density and recurrent outbreaks. Qualitative findings emphasize the critical role of integrated policy coordination, community participation, and intersectoral collaboration in addressing environmental health risks. Overall, the study underscores sustainable waste management as a central strategy for dengue prevention, recommending enhanced public education, improved waste infrastructure, and strengthened collaboration across municipal and health authorities. Future research should assess the long-term effectiveness and scalability of integrated waste management interventions in diverse urban contexts.

Abstract

Diarrheal disease remains one of the leading public health threats among children under five, particularly in densely populated urban settings where access to clean and safe drinking water is limited. This study examines the relationship between household drinking water quality and the incidence of toddler diarrhea in densely populated areas of Manado City, Indonesia. Employing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 500 households through structured surveys, laboratory-based water quality testing, and review of local health records. The findings reveal that households relying on untreated well water exhibit significantly higher microbial contamination, especially elevated Escherichia coli levels, compared to those using piped water. Socio-economic disparities and sanitation conditions further contribute to variations in health outcomes, with low-income households experiencing disproportionately higher diarrhea cases. Regression analysis demonstrates a strong association between poor household water quality and increased diarrhea incidence in toddlers. The study highlights the urgent need for improved water supply infrastructure, routine household water treatment practices such as boiling or filtration, and targeted public health education to mitigate waterborne disease transmission. Strengthening collaborative efforts between communities and local authorities is essential to ensure water safety and reduce preventable child morbidity in urban high-density environments.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a school-based reproductive health education program in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward reproductive health. The program was delivered to 400 students in a medium-sized Indonesian school, with a pre-test and post-test assessment to measure changes in knowledge. Qualitative interviews were also conducted to explore students' perceptions of the program. The results revealed a significant increase in reproductive health knowledge among students in the intervention group, particularly regarding contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and gender equality. Students also reported positive changes in their attitudes toward relationships and gender equality, though some cultural and socio-economic barriers remained. The study concludes that school-based reproductive health education is effective in enhancing adolescents' knowledge and attitudes, but further research is needed to address the cultural and access-related challenges that affect the full implementation of this knowledge. The findings contribute to the understanding of how school-based programs can improve adolescent reproductive health outcomes and highlight areas for future research to enhance their effectiveness.

Abstract

The effective translation of public health research into policy implementation remains a significant challenge in many developing regions, including Gorontalo, Indonesia. This study aimed to explore the dynamics of social and ecological adaptation in the multi-level governance context of public health policy implementation. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions, to investigate community awareness, participation, and the role of governance structures in policy execution. The results revealed a significant gap between awareness of public health policies and active participation in health programs, exacerbated by limited resources, poor infrastructure, and a lack of coordination between national and local governments. Social and cultural barriers, such as traditional beliefs and gender norms, also impeded policy effectiveness. Furthermore, ecological challenges, such as flooding and inadequate sanitation, were found to worsen public health outcomes, hindering the success of health interventions. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the unique challenges faced in the implementation of public health policies in Gorontalo and offers practical recommendations for overcoming these obstacles. The study also emphasizes the need for more tailored, community-based approaches to health policy. Future research should focus on assessing the long-term impact of these policy interventions on health outcomes and community engagement.
