Abstract

Obesity is a condition of excess body fat accumulation that often triggers an increase in total cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Black garlic, a fermented garlic product, is known to contain bioactive compounds such as S-allylcysteine (SAC) which is effective in lowering cholesterol levels. Objective: To determine the effect of black garlic extract as a preventive therapy in obesity model rats induced by a high-fat and fructose diet. Method: The research method used an experimental design with a pre- and post-test group design approach. A total of 28 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups: negative control (standard diet AIN 93), positive control (high-fat and fructose diet), and two treatment groups each given black garlic extract at a dose of 1.6 ml/day and 0.8 ml/day. Total cholesterol levels were measured before and after the intervention using the spectrophotometric method. Data analysis used SPSS with the Independent t-test. Results: The results showed that administration of black garlic extract significantly reduced total cholesterol levels in the treatment group compared to the positive control group. A dose of 1.6 ml/day produced a greater cholesterol-lowering effect than a dose of 0.8 ml/day. Conclusion: Black garlic extract was effective in lowering total cholesterol levels in an obese rat model.

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health problem that impacts the effectiveness of infection therapy (World Health Organization [WHO], 2024). Therefore, safe and effective antibacterial alternatives are needed, including those derived from natural ingredients such as Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz, which is known to contain bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract of Rhinacanthus nasutus leaves against Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae in vitro. The method used was well diffusion on Mueller–Hinton Agar media with varying extract concentrations of 15%, 30%, and 60%. Ciprofloxacin was used as a positive control and distilled water as a negative control. Antibacterial activity was measured based on the diameter of the inhibition zone after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C and analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results showed that the extract was able to inhibit the growth of both test bacteria, with an increase in the diameter of the inhibition zone with increasing concentration. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between treatment groups (p < 0.05). However, the inhibitory power of the extract was still lower than that of the positive control. These findings indicate that Rhinacanthus nasutus has the potential to be developed as a natural antibacterial, but further research is needed to optimize its effectiveness and safety.

Abstract

Inadequate postoperative wound care is a major cause of surgical complications, including surgical site infections, wound dehiscence, and delayed healing, which leads to increased length of stay, increased costs, and decreased quality of life. Patient adherence to wound care instructions after discharge is strongly influenced by their level of understanding and health literacy, which is often low in the perioperative period. The teach-back method, a communication strategy in which patients are asked to reiterate the information provided in their own words, has been developed as an evidence-based approach to ensure understanding and improve patient adherence. This article aims to examine scientific evidence regarding the effect of teach-back education on postoperative wound care adherence through a narrative literature review of twenty-five articles published between 2021 and 2026, sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. The study results show that the teach-back method consistently improves knowledge, self-efficacy, and adherence to wound care in various surgical populations, from colostomy and orthopedic to cardiac surgery, and is associated with reduced wound complications and hospital readmission rates. It was concluded that teach-back is an effective, simple educational strategy that is feasible to be implemented routinely in perioperative and community nursing practice to improve postoperative wound care outcomes.

Abstract

Chest X-ray is a fundamental radiographic examination widely used as a first-line imaging modality for screening, diagnosing, and evaluating thoracic diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), lung disorders, and cardiovascular abnormalities. Despite its routine use, many patients have limited understanding of its purpose, benefits, and examination procedures, which may lead to anxiety and reduced compliance. This community service activity aimed to improve patients’ knowledge regarding chest X-ray examinations at the Radiology Installation of M. Zein Painan Regional Hospital. The program was conducted on December 23, 2024, using individual (one-on-one) educational sessions involving 14 patients awaiting chest X-ray examinations. Educational materials covered the definition, indications, benefits, examination procedures, patient preparation, radiation safety, and the importance of following radiographer instructions. Effectiveness was assessed using a nine-item questionnaire administered before and after the education. Results demonstrated a marked improvement in patient knowledge, with post-test scores reaching 100% correct responses for most items, compared with 36–79% in the pre-test. The greatest improvements were observed in understanding examination procedures and radiation safety, particularly the need to report pregnancy before exposure. These findings indicate that individualized patient education effectively enhances knowledge and supports better compliance during chest X-ray examinations. Although the small sample size and one-group pre–post design limit generalizability, integrating continuous patient education into radiology services is recommended to improve health literacy and service quality.

Abstract

Rapid digitalization has reshaped how young adults acquire health information, engage with health-promoting technologies, and construct daily lifestyle routines, yet evidence on the determinants of healthy lifestyle behavior in this population remains fragmented across disciplinary silos. This narrative review synthesizes findings from twenty-five peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2026 to develop an integrative framework explaining the determinants of healthy lifestyle behavior among young adults in the digital era. Using a structured search of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, JMIR, and Frontiers databases, studies were screened, thematically coded, and narratively synthesized across five determinant domains: digital health literacy, online health-information seeking and social media engagement, digital health interventions and mobile applications, psychological and dispositional factors, and sociodemographic-cultural context. Findings indicate that digital health literacy and purposeful social media engagement consistently predict better dietary, physical-activity, and health-monitoring behaviors, while psychological dispositions such as consideration of future consequences, self-control, and sense of coherence moderate how digital exposure translates into sustained action. Digital interventions show promise but remain constrained by low long-term engagement and limited cultural adaptability. The novelty of this review lies in integrating literacy-based, behavioral, psychological, and contextual determinants into a single multi-level model, offering researchers, educators, and public-health practitioners a coherent evidence base for designing culturally responsive digital health-promotion strategies targeted at young adults.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and one of the leading causes of irreversible visual field loss and blindness worldwide, with intraocular pressure (IOP) representing the most important modifiable risk factor. The Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS) evaluated the effectiveness of intensive IOP-lowering therapy compared with standard treatment in patients with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma. This critical review aimed to evaluate the study’s methodology, findings, validity, strengths, limitations, and clinical implications for determining initial therapeutic strategies in open-angle glaucoma. A critical appraisal was conducted of the randomized controlled trial by Bengtsson et al. (2024), published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, involving 242 treatment-naïve patients. Participants in the intensive treatment group received a combination of IOP-lowering medications and laser trabeculoplasty, whereas the standard treatment group received monotherapy. Intensive therapy achieved a significantly lower median IOP (14 mmHg vs. 17 mmHg) and reduced glaucoma progression (11% vs. 21%; p = 0.03). However, the primary endpoint, predicted lifetime Visual Field Index (VFI), showed no statistically significant difference (87.1% vs. 79.3%; p = 0.15), and the reduction in visual field deterioration was also not significant (p = 0.09). Moreover, adverse events occurred more frequently in the intensive treatment group (36% vs. 25%). Overall, GITS demonstrates that intensive IOP-lowering therapy improves IOP control and reduces glaucoma progression; however, its routine implementation cannot yet be universally recommended because of the absence of significant benefit in the primary outcome and the higher incidence of treatment-related adverse effects. Therapeutic decisions should therefore be individualized according to baseline IOP, disease severity, risk of progression, patient age, and the balance between potential benefits and harms.

Abstract

Clean and healthy living behavior remains a critical determinant of student wellbeing, yet the information environment in which today's university students form health habits has changed dramatically. This narrative review synthesizes 25 peer-reviewed studies to examine how health knowledge, chiefly measured as e-health literacy, and social media use jointly shape clean and healthy living behavior among university students. Following a PRISMA-informed search and screening process across Google Scholar, PubMed, DOAJ, and Scopus-indexed sources, the review integrates international e-health literacy research with Indonesia's Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) tradition, two literatures that have rarely been read together. Findings show that higher e-health literacy and disease-specific knowledge consistently and directly predict stronger health-promoting behavior across diverse national contexts. Social media use for health purposes similarly correlates with improved handwashing, dietary, and physical-activity outcomes, particularly on visual platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, but problematic or excessive use is associated with sedentary behavior, disrupted sleep, and greater exposure to misinformation. E-health literacy and risk perception function as mediators and moderators that determine whether social media exposure converts into durable behavior change, while peer influence and health beliefs often outweigh social media exposure on its own. The review proposes an integrated conceptual model in which knowledge acts both directly on behavior and as a literacy filter on social media's effect, and recommends that campus health promotion combine literacy-building curricula with credible, platform-specific content strategies.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, has abundant natural resource potential, including mineral resources such as gold. One area experiencing gold mining activity is South Aceh Regency, specifically the working area of the Ujung Padang Rasian Community Health Center (UPTD), which covers 11 villages with approximately 17–25 mining locations, of which 7 locations are still actively operating. This study aims to analyze gold mining activities and their impacts on the social, economic, and cultural aspects of the local community. The study used an observational analytical design with a quantitative cross-sectional approach. The study population was all gold mining workers with a sample size of 35 respondents determined through a total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that gold mining activities were categorized as high (57.1%) and very high (42.9%), with the majority of respondents having worked for 1–4 years. There was a significant relationship between mining activities and economic conditions and community income levels (p=0.019). Conversely, no significant relationship was found between mining activities and socio-cultural aspects (p=0.091) or length of employment (p=0.66). These findings indicate that gold mining activities contribute positively to improving the community's economy, while social structures and cultural values remain relatively stable. Therefore, sustainable management through supervision, health education, the use of personal protective equipment, and the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies is needed to minimize potential negative social and environmental impacts

Abstract

The digital transformation in Indonesia's health sector has changed the way people access medical information and services. However, the rapid growth of this digital health ecosystem is often not matched by a uniform level of digital health literacy among the population. This research aims to analyze the relationship between digital health literacy levels and health-seeking behavior among the Indonesian population living in an emerging digital environment. Using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, data collection was conducted through online surveys and structured interviews with respondents from various regions in Indonesia. Variables were measured using standardized instruments to assess the ability to access, understand, evaluate, and apply digital health information, as well as their treatment referral preferences. Findings indicate that digital health literacy levels significantly influence the public's health-seeking behavior. Groups with higher digital literacy tend to be more selective in choosing credible health information sources, utilizing telemedicine services, and making proactive preventive decisions. Conversely, limited literacy often triggers misinformation and delays in receiving appropriate medical care. The development of digital health infrastructure in Indonesia must be accompanied by massive educational interventions to enhance public health literacy. This is crucial to ensure that advancements in health technology positively impact the quality of safe and effective health service seeking.

Abstract

Health inequity remains a major challenge within Indonesia’s human development system. Although various national health insurance programs have been expanded, disparities in health status across population groups and regions are still frequently observed, strongly indicating the influence of structural factors beyond medical aspects alone. This study aims to analyze the social determinants underlying health inequities in Indonesia, focusing on the reciprocal interactions among socioeconomic status, healthcare accessibility, and population health outcomes. This study uses a quantitative analytical approach by analyzing large-scale national survey data from Indonesia. Multivariable regression models and path analysis are used to measure the extent to which income, educational attainment, and geographic barriers mediate disparities in health outcomes, such as morbidity rates and utilization of medical facilities. The findings show that socioeconomic status particularly educational attainment and household income has a significant direct effect on individuals’ ability to access quality healthcare services. Geographic and financial barriers exacerbate these inequalities, resulting in substantial differences in health outcomes across population groups. People of lower socioeconomic status face a higher risk of morbidity due to limited access to promotive and curative services. Health inequities in Indonesia are strongly influenced by structural socioeconomic inequalities and disparities in access to healthcare services. Therefore, public health policies must not focus solely on providing medical facilities but must also be integrated with efforts to address the root causes of socioeconomic disadvantage and ensure equitable access across regions.
