Abstract

Preventive health behavior plays a crucial role in reducing morbidity and mortality rates caused by communicable and non-communicable diseases in Indonesia. However, geographical and socioeconomic challenges, along with limited healthcare infrastructure, often hinder public access to promotive and preventive services. This study aims to analyze the role of community-based health interventions (such as Posyandu, Posbindu PTM, and village preparedness programs) in improving preventive health behavior across various regions in Indonesia. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach utilizing literature reviews and secondary analysis of public health program data and relevant policies in Indonesia over the past five years. Findings indicate that community-based interventions effectively enhance collective awareness, active citizen participation, and adherence to clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). Approaches involving local cadres and community leaders have proven successful in bridging the gap between formal healthcare systems and the real needs of grassroots communities.Community-based health interventions are an essential and effective strategy for promoting preventive health behavior changes in Indonesia. Strengthening cadre capacity and ensuring sustainable cross-sectoral support are key factors for optimizing the positive impact of these programs in the future.

Abstract

Healthcare accessibility remains a critical determinant of quality of life (QoL), particularly among vulnerable populations in developing nations like Indonesia. Despite national universal health coverage initiatives, systemic disparities persist across socioeconomic lines and geographic regions. This study investigates the relationship between healthcare accessibility and the quality of life among vulnerable populations in Indonesia, focusing on geographical barriers, financial constraints, and utilization rates. Utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional design, this study analyzes secondary data from recent national socioeconomic and health surveys. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to evaluate how physical distance, out-of-pocket health expenditure, and health insurance ownership impact physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of QoL among low-income households and elderly populations. The findings indicate that financial barriers—specifically out-of-pocket costs and limited insurance coverage—significantly diminish overall QoL, with psychological and environmental domains being the most severely affected. Furthermore, rural-urban disparities in geographic accessibility exacerbate health inequalities, restricting timely medical interventions for marginalized groups. Targeted policy interventions are urgently required to reduce out-of-pocket financial burdens, expand primary healthcare infrastructure in remote areas, and streamline healthcare delivery for vulnerable groups in Indonesia to foster equitable health outcomes and improve overall well-being.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical vulnerabilities in Indonesia’s national health architecture, highlighting the urgent need for robust, decentralized health systems and sustained community engagement. This article examines the strategies required to build long-term public health resilience in Indonesia during the post-pandemic era, focusing on the integration of community-based prevention mechanisms with formal health system reforms. Utilizing a comprehensive literature review and policy analysis of post-pandemic health initiatives in Indonesia, this study evaluates current structural transformations, multi-sectoral collaborations, and grassroots health interventions. Results indicate that strengthening community-based surveillance, empowering local health cadres (kader), and enhancing primary healthcare facilities are pivotal for early detection and rapid response. Furthermore, digital health integration and equitable resource distribution remain essential for bridging healthcare gaps across Indonesia's diverse archipelagic regions. Building lasting public health resilience in Indonesia requires a symbiotic relationship between centralized health policy reforms and localized, community-driven prevention strategies.

Abstract

Unlicensed gold mining (PETI) in Gampong Paya Ateuk, Pasie Raja Subdistrict, South Aceh Regency, still relies on traditional amalgamation using mercury, which has the potential to cause environmental pollution, land degradation, landslides, and health risks to the community. This phenomenon is driven by limited job opportunities and the community's high economic dependence on mining, while oversight and enforcement at the village level remain weak. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the implementation of local government policies and the role of health officials in environmental conservation. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with an evaluative case study design based on the Input-Process-Output-Outcome (IPOO) framework, conducted from April to May 2026 with informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured interviews, field observations, and document reviews, then analyzed using triangulation of sources, techniques, and theories. Findings on inputs indicate no regulations, dedicated personnel, or budgets at the village level. Regarding process, cross-sectoral oversight and coordination have been carried out but have not effectively controlled mining activities because the community considers the area a community-managed mine. In terms of outputs and outcomes, the study found land degradation, unreclaimed mine pits, declining river water quality, and potential health risks from mercury exposure. Overall, policy implementation has not been optimal due to weak village-level policy instruments and high economic dependence on mining. This study recommends strengthening village regulations, enhancing oversight, and providing economic alternatives for the community.
