Abstract

Self-harm behaviour in adolescents is a crucial mental health issue that increases the risk of suicide and requires effective intervention. Psychological approaches such as the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and digital technology have been used to reduce this behaviour, but a deep understanding of the adolescent experience is also necessary. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of interventions to reduce self-harming behaviour in adolescents by integrating quantitative research results and qualitative insights related to motivation, social factors, and the process of stopping the behaviour. A literature search using the PICO strategy was conducted in the Scopus, PubMed, EBSCO, and ScienceDirect databases. Article selection followed the PRISMA method with inclusion criteria of 2015–2024, full text, open access, and English language. Quantitative studies included RCT and longitudinal studies, while qualitative studies used in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. Data synthesis from both approaches was conducted narratively and through thematic meta-synthesis. From 116 articles assessed for eligibility, a total of 8 studies met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 5 quantitative and 3 qualitative studies. Quantitative findings indicate that psychological interventions significantly reduce the frequency of self-harm behaviour. Qualitative findings highlight key factors such as difficulties in emotional regulation, social pressure, barriers to help-seeking, and the importance of family support. The tension between adolescent autonomy and the need for social support emerged as a central theme.. A multifaceted approach that integrates evidence-based therapy with an understanding of the psychosocial context effectively reduces self-harming behaviour in adolescents. Recommendations point towards culturally sensitive family- and school-based interventions and further research using mixed methods.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, with long-term consequences for cognitive development, educational attainment, and adult productivity. Beyond inadequate dietary intake, environmental determinants such as poor hygiene practices and inadequate sanitation contribute significantly to impaired linear growth. This study aims to analyze the effect of hygiene practices and environmental sanitation on stunting incidence using a community-based public health approach. A cross-sectional community-based analytical design was applied among children aged 6–59 months. Data were collected through structured caregiver interviews, direct household observations of sanitation facilities, anthropometric measurements based on WHO growth standards, and review of community health records. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine adjusted odds ratios for WASH-related factors. The results indicate that lack of handwashing before feeding, unimproved latrine facilities, unsafe water sources, open defecation practices, and recent diarrheal episodes significantly increase the likelihood of stunting. These findings support the fecal–oral transmission and environmental enteric dysfunction pathways linking sanitation and growth failure. The study concludes that integrated community-based WASH interventions, combined with behavior change strategies and local health system strengthening, are essential to sustainably reduce stunting prevalence

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of medical misinformation on social media poses significant challenges to public health, influencing risk perception, vaccination decisions, and preventive behaviors. Digital health literacy has emerged as a potential protective factor that enables individuals to critically evaluate and apply online health information. This study aims to analyze the role of digital health literacy in preventing medical misinformation on social media and to examine its implications for public health behavior. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 420 active social media users aged 18 years and above. Data were collected using a structured online questionnaire measuring digital health literacy, belief in medical misinformation, and health behavior indicators, including vaccination intention and information verification practices. Multiple regression and mediation analyses were performed to assess predictive relationships. The results indicate that higher digital health literacy significantly reduces belief in medical misinformation and positively predicts vaccination intention and proactive information verification. Belief in misinformation negatively affects vaccination intention, supporting its mediating role. Although causal inference remains limited, the findings suggest that strengthening digital health literacy can contribute to safer health behaviors. Integrating digital health literacy education with public health communication strategies is essential to counter misinformation in the social media era.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge in many developing countries and reflects long term nutritional deficiencies combined with environmental and behavioral determinants affecting child growth. In addition to inadequate dietary intake, environmental sanitation, access to clean water, and hygiene behavior are increasingly recognized as critical factors influencing stunting incidence among children under five years of age. This study aims to analyze the influence of environmental sanitation, clean water access, and hygiene behavior on the occurrence of stunting within a community based public health context. The study employed a quantitative cross sectional design involving households with children under five years old. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, environmental observations, and anthropometric measurements based on the World Health Organization Child Growth Standards. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, chi square tests, and logistic regression to identify significant determinants associated with stunting incidence. The results indicate that poor environmental sanitation, limited access to clean drinking water, and inadequate hygiene practices are significantly associated with increased risk of stunting. Children living in households with inadequate WASH conditions are more vulnerable to repeated infections such as diarrhea and intestinal diseases, which impair nutrient absorption and growth. In conclusion, improving environmental sanitation, ensuring access to safe drinking water, and strengthening hygiene behavior are essential public health strategies to reduce stunting prevalence and promote healthy child development..

Abstract

Patient safety is a fundamental aspect of the healthcare system that plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and standards of care. This article aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges in efforts to improve patient safety through a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review, examining various relevant scientific sources related to patient safety, including national and international journals, reports from health organizations, and other academic publications. The results of the review indicate that patient safety is influenced by various factors, including system-related aspects, human resources, technology, and organizational culture. Opportunities for improving patient safety can be identified through the utilization of digital technology, the implementation of evidence-based practice, the strengthening of a safety culture, and the active involvement of patients and their families. However, there are still a number of challenges to be addressed, such as resource constraints, the complexity of the healthcare system, an unsupportive organizational culture, and low public health literacy. Therefore, a holistic and integrated approach involving various stakeholders is needed to create a safe, effective, and sustainable healthcare system.

Abstract

The use of C-Arm in the operating room is one of the radiological technologies that greatly assists doctors in performing surgical procedures in real time. The C-Arm produces X-ray radiation that allows visualization of anatomical structures during surgery. However, radiation exposure from the use of a C-Arm can pose risks to healthcare workers in the operating room, such as doctors, nurses, and radiographers, if not accompanied by proper radiation safety practices. Compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the operating room during the use of C-Arm devices at Hospital X Padang in 2024 is expected to serve as a basis for improving the implementation of radiation safety for healthcare workers. Based on observations, it was found that not all operating room staff used radiation protective equipment according to regulations, even though the potential radiation hazards from the C-Arm in the operating room are quite significant. This may result in increased radiation doses received by workers present during the operation of the C-Arm. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing non-compliance among operating room staff during the use of the C-Arm. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design, with the population consisting of all operating room staff at Siti Rahmah Hospital, using total sampling with 32 respondents. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. After all data were collected, the data were processed and analyzed using the Spearman test. Out of 32 respondents, 18 were male (56.2%) and 14 were female (43.8%). Based on age categories, 24 respondents (75%) were aged 20–30 years, 4 respondents (12.5%) were aged 30–40 years, and 4 respondents (12.5%) were aged 40–50 years. Based on years of service, 24 respondents (75.0%) had 0–5 years of experience, 4 respondents (12.5%) had 5–10 years, and 4 respondents (12.5%) had 10–15 years of experience. Regarding education level, 20 respondents (62.5%) held a D3 diploma and 12 respondents (37.5%) held a D4 diploma. In terms of knowledge level, 8 respondents (25.0%) had low knowledge, 7 respondents (21.9%) had moderate knowledge, and 17 respondents (53.1%) had good knowledge. Regarding attitudes, 15 respondents (46.9%) had poor attitudes, while 17 respondents (53.1%) had good attitudes. The availability of radiation protection facilities for operating room staff showed that 15 respondents (46.9%) reported inadequate availability, while 17 respondents (53.1%) reported adequate availability. There was a relationship between age, years of service, education level, knowledge level, attitudes, and the availability of facilities and infrastructure with compliance in implementing radiation safety. However, there was no relationship between gender and compliance with radiation safety practices.

Abstract

Sustainable public health financing has become an increasingly important issue in the context of global health system resilience and sustainable development. Many countries continue to face chronic underinvestment in primary health care and increasing financial pressures due to demographic changes, environmental risks, and emerging health crises. At the same time, the concept of the green economy has gained attention as an integrated framework that connects economic development, environmental sustainability, and social well-being. This study aims to analyze sustainable public health financing from a green economy perspective by examining how green financial instruments and sustainability-oriented policies can support resilient health systems. The study employed a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 related to public health financing, green finance, and sustainable development. The findings indicate that integrating green finance instruments, such as green bonds, climate funds, and environmental taxation, can contribute to improving environmental quality, strengthening health infrastructure, and supporting long-term public health outcomes. However, the implementation of green finance in health systems remains constrained by regulatory limitations, institutional capacity gaps, and fragmented financing structures. Therefore, integrating green economy principles into public health financing frameworks can provide strategic pathways for developing resilient, equitable, and environmentally sustainable health systems.

Abstract

Conventional radiology services are a vital medical support in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Patient return visit rates serve as a key indicator of service quality, which can be influenced by enabling factors such as facilities, service quality, and location. This study aims to analyze the relationship between enabling factors and patients’ willingness to return for conventional radiology examinations. The study is a quantitative, analytical, correlational study with a cross-sectional design. It was conducted at the radiology department of Pariama Regional General Hospital. The population consisted of 52 patients who returned for follow-up visits during the period of July–September 2024.  The sample consisted of 46 respondents. Data were collected via a questionnaire measured using Likert and Guttman scales, which had been tested for validity and reliability, and were then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents rated the facilities as poor (52.2%) and the service as poor (54.3%), while the location was considered accessible (54.3%). Statistical tests revealed a significant relationship between facilities (p=0.039) and service (p=0.018) and the intention to revisit, whereas location was not associated (p=0.236). These results confirm that improving the quality of facilities and service is a key factor in enhancing patient loyalty toward radiology services.

Abstract

Maternal mortality remains a significant public health problem and reflects the quality of maternal health services. Donggala Regency is one of the regions with a relatively high and fluctuating maternal mortality rate during the period 2020–2024. This study aimed to analyze risk factors and determine the most influential factors associated with maternal mortality in Donggala Regency from 2020 to 2024. This study employed an observational analytic design with a case–control approach, involving a total sample of 108 subjects, consisting of 54 cases and 54 controls, selected using purposive sampling. Secondary data were obtained from Maternal Verbal Autopsy (MVA) records and the maternal cohort registry. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics, applying Odds Ratio (OR) and p-values for bivariate analysis, and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The results of the study showed that the risk factors for maternal mortality in Donggala Regency during 2020–2024 were a history of hemorrhage (AOR = 9.01; 95% CI = 1.61–50.64; p = 0.013), history of disease (AOR = 8.21; 95% CI = 1.56–43.32; p = 0.013), and incomplete antenatal care (ANC) visits (AOR = 6.14; 95% CI = 1.52–24.85; p = 0.011). Delay in referral was identified as the main and independent risk factor associated with maternal mortality (AOR = 10.05; 95% CI = 2.04–49.61; p = 0.005). Parity, interpregnancy interval, history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and maternal education did not show statistically significant associations; however, they acted as confounding variables in the final multivariate model.Maternal mortality in Donggala District during 2020–2024 was significantly influenced by a history of hemorrhage, comorbid diseases, inadequate ANC, and referral delay. Referral delay was the strongest determinant of maternal mortality. These findings highlight the importance of early detection of pregnancy complications, adherence to standard ANC services, and an effective and timely maternal referral system to reduce maternal mortality
