Abstract

This study examines health psychology approaches to improving treatment adherence among patients with chronic illnesses, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. The research aims to explore how psychological, emotional, social, and cultural factors influence adherence behavior and how patients experience health psychology-based interventions within chronic illness management. A qualitative research design was employed using semi-structured interviews with 25 purposively selected participants undergoing long-term treatment. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis supported by NVivo software to identify recurring themes and patterns related to adherence behavior. The findings indicate that treatment adherence is strongly influenced by illness perception, self-efficacy, emotional well-being, coping strategies, family support, and cultural beliefs. Counseling, motivational interviewing, and patient-centered educational approaches were perceived as effective in strengthening treatment commitment and improving patients’ confidence in managing chronic conditions. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative qualitative exploration of adherence as a multidimensional behavioral process shaped by interconnected psychological and sociocultural experiences. The study implies that healthcare systems should adopt holistic, culturally sensitive, and psychologically informed interventions to improve long-term treatment adherence and patient well-being.

Abstract

This study explores stress experiences and coping strategies among cancer survivors from a health psychology perspective. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 25 cancer survivors recruited from oncology outpatient clinics and cancer support groups. The findings reveal that survivorship is characterized by persistent emotional stress, including fear of recurrence, anxiety, social isolation, and uncertainty regarding future health. To manage these challenges, survivors employed three interconnected coping mechanisms: problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and meaning-focused coping. Problem-focused coping enhanced perceived control through treatment management and lifestyle adjustments, while emotion-focused coping facilitated emotional regulation through mindfulness, social support, and spirituality. Meaning-focused coping promoted resilience, gratitude, identity reconstruction, and personal growth. The findings contribute to health psychology literature and provide practical implications for developing comprehensive survivorship interventions that support long-term psychological well-being and quality of life.

Abstract

Community participation is an essential component of effective preventive health programs, yet many communities continue to experience low engagement due to limited health literacy, sociocultural barriers, and inadequate access to health information. This study aims to analyze the contribution of health advocates in strengthening community participation in preventive health programs. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 210 respondents selected through stratified random sampling from community-based preventive health initiatives. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between health advocate activities and community participation, indicating that educational outreach, counseling, and mobilization significantly enhance preventive health engagement. Health advocate activity remained the strongest predictor of participation even after controlling for demographic variables, while educational attainment also showed a significant influence on participation levels. The novelty of this study lies in its use of a predictive quantitative framework to empirically measure the contribution of health advocates within preventive public health systems. The study implies that strengthening institutional support, advocacy training, and culturally responsive communication strategies is essential for improving the sustainability, inclusiveness, and effectiveness of preventive health programs.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of simulation-based learning and case-based learning in public health education to explore their influence on student engagement, critical thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and reflective learning. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, reflective journals, and classroom observations involving undergraduate public health students and educators. The findings indicate that simulation activities enhanced active participation, communication, confidence, and experiential engagement, while case-based learning strengthened analytical reasoning, contextual understanding, and evidence-based decision-making. The integration of both approaches created a collaborative learning environment that connected theoretical knowledge with practical public health application. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated examination of simulation and case-based pedagogies within public health education from both student and educator perspectives. The findings imply that experiential and student-centered learning approaches can support curriculum innovation and improve professional preparedness for addressing complex public health challenges in higher education settings.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health has become an important global concern due to increasing levels of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability during developmental transitions. This study aimed to examine the influence of peer and parental support on adolescent mental health, particularly anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was employed involving 500 adolescents for quantitative analysis and 30 participants for qualitative interviews. Quantitative findings revealed that both peer and parental support significantly reduced anxiety and depression while positively influencing self-esteem. Parental support demonstrated a stronger predictive contribution compared with peer support. The qualitative findings further showed that adolescents perceived peers as sources of emotional companionship, whereas parents provided emotional security and stability. The novelty of this study lies in identifying the synergistic interaction between peer and parental support in strengthening adolescent psychological well-being. The findings imply that adolescent mental health interventions should integrate family-based and peer-support approaches to promote emotional resilience and sustainable psychological development.

Abstract

Dengue fever remains a major public health challenge in rapidly urbanizing tropical regions, where environmental conditions significantly influence disease transmission. This study aims to examine the relationship between urban waste management systems and dengue fever incidence in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung during the 2018–2023 period. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating epidemiological data, waste management indicators, spatial analysis, field observations, and stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal that waste collection frequency and municipal service coverage are negatively associated with dengue incidence, whereas ineffective waste segregation contributes to increased mosquito breeding opportunities. Spatial analysis identifies significant clustering of dengue cases in areas characterized by waste accumulation and inadequate environmental infrastructure. The findings highlight the importance of combining waste management, community participation, and institutional coordination to strengthen dengue prevention. These results provide practical guidance for urban policymakers seeking sustainable and environmentally informed public health interventions.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between household drinking water quality and the incidence of toddler diarrhea in densely populated areas of Manado City, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional approach was employed involving 500 households with children under five years of age. Data were collected through household surveys, laboratory-based water quality testing, and validation using local health facility records. The findings reveal that households relying on groundwater wells experienced significantly higher levels of microbial contamination, particularly Escherichia coli, compared with households using piped water systems. Toddler diarrhea incidence was substantially higher among households consuming untreated water and those dependent on contaminated groundwater sources. Statistical analysis confirmed that water source and household water treatment practices were significant predictors of diarrhea occurrence. The findings contribute to environmental health literature and provide evidence for strengthening water safety interventions, sanitation improvement programs, and community-based public health strategies aimed at reducing childhood waterborne diseases in rapidly urbanizing cities.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of a school-based reproductive health education program in improving adolescents’ reproductive health knowledge and attitudes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 400 high school students divided into intervention and control groups. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments, while qualitative insights were obtained from student interviews and teacher discussions. The findings revealed a significant increase in reproductive health knowledge among students who participated in the program, particularly in the areas of contraception, sexually transmitted infections, menstrual health, gender equality, and healthy relationships. Participants also reported enhanced self-awareness, confidence, and positive attitudes toward reproductive health issues. However, cultural norms and socio-economic constraints continued to influence the application of knowledge beyond the classroom. The study highlights the effectiveness of comprehensive and interactive school-based reproductive health education in strengthening adolescent health literacy. These findings provide important implications for policymakers, educators, and health practitioners seeking to improve adolescent reproductive health outcomes through curriculum-based educational interventions.

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.
