Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examinations often cause significant anxiety in patients due to unfamiliar surroundings, loud noises, confined spaces, and a lack of understanding about the procedure. This anxiety can trigger uncontrolled movement during the scan, which affects image quality and causes artifacts. This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to educate patients, the community, and radiographers on techniques for managing anxiety before and during MRI examinations. Participatory methods through counseling, interactive discussions, and relaxation technique simulations were implemented at the Radiology Installation of RSI Siti Rahmah Padang. Evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests on 15 radiographers showed an increase in average understanding from 45% to 85% (a 40% increase). A satisfaction survey of 25 participants (radiographers, patients, and companions) showed that an average of 94.5% of respondents were satisfied with the material, methods, and benefits of the activity. These results confirm the effectiveness of interactive education in improving the competence of radiographers and the psychological readiness of patients, which ultimately contributes to improving the quality of radiology services based on patient-centered care

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in global healthcare systems offers significant opportunities for improved diagnostic accuracy, clinical efficiency, and accelerated medical decision-making. However, these innovations present complex ethical challenges, particularly regarding patient privacy risks, algorithmic bias, model transparency, and disparities in international regulatory frameworks. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review to examine global medical AI ethics by selecting 16 peer-reviewed articles identified through the PRISMA protocol. The findings indicate persistent weaknesses in data protection, limited bias auditing mechanisms, and unclear accountability structures, all of which threaten core principles of medical ethics. Furthermore, regulatory imbalances between high-income and low-income countries increase the risk of data misuse, especially in jurisdictions with weak digital infrastructure. This study concludes that an integrated ethical framework is essential, encompassing privacy-by-design protections, algorithmic bias mitigation, adoption of explainable AI, strengthened legal accountability, and harmonization of global standards. These insights contribute to policy development and support the advancement of safe, equitable, and patient-centered medical AI applications.

Abstract

This study examines community preventive behavior during global health crises from a social epidemiology perspective, emphasizing the roles of social determinants, institutional trust, and structural inequality. A critical integrative literature review was conducted using thematic analysis of 45 publications indexed in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar, published between 2019 and 2025. The synthesis shows that preventive behavior is not merely a function of knowledge or individual motivation, but is consistently patterned along lines of education, income, employment status, and access to credible information. Populations in structurally disadvantaged positions tend to display markedly lower preventive capacity, while higher levels of institutional trust are associated with more consistent adherence to recommended measures. Yet, much of the existing scholarship still privileges individual psychological determinants, leaving insufficient attention to how macro-level social structures and trust dynamics jointly shape collective compliance and health resilience. This article addresses that gap by developing an integrated conceptual model that connects social epidemiology, structural inequality, and trust theory to explain preventive behavior during global crises. The study contributes theoretically by reframing prevention as a socially produced capability rather than an isolated individual choice, and practically by offering a framework to reorient public health policy toward structural equity, trust-building, and socially grounded risk communication as foundations for sustainable collective prevention

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinants of maternal behavior in fulfilling toddler nutrition as part of stunting prevention efforts using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Effective stunting prevention requires a comprehensive understanding of psychosocial factors shaping maternal intention and behavior, as knowledge-based interventions alone are insufficient to produce consistent behavioral change. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted by synthesizing 29 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Thematic synthesis indicates that maternal attitudes toward balanced nutrition significantly influence feeding intentions, while subjective norms such as support from husbands, extended family, and health workers can either strengthen or weaken these intentions. The most decisive factor is perceived behavioral control, which reflects mothers’ ability to overcome structural barriers, including economic constraints, food access, time limitations, and the quality of health services. The three TPB components interact to shape actual feeding practices among mothers. This study concludes that stunting prevention interventions must integrate evidence-based education, strengthened family and community support, and improved access to health services to enhance maternal perceived behavioral control. These findings provide essential insights for developing behavior-focused nutrition interventions in Indonesia.

Abstract

Smoking and alcohol consumption among productive-age adults represent major behavioral risk factors contributing to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disorders. This study aims to analyze behavioral patterns, determinants, and the health impacts of smoking and alcohol consumption among individuals aged 25–54 years. A descriptive qualitative method with an analytical literature study approach was employed, reviewing reputable scientific publications from 2015 to 2024. Findings indicate that smoking and alcohol consumption in productive-age populations are driven by workplace stress, social norms, cultural influences, and urban lifestyle shifts. The combination of both behaviors exponentially increases NCD risks through inflammatory mechanisms, oxidative stress, metabolic dysregulation, and organ damage. Social determinants such as economic pressure and mental health also contribute to sustained risky behaviors. This study recommends multi-level interventions including education, counseling, enhanced health literacy, workplace wellness programs, and public health policies such as increased tobacco taxation and alcohol access restrictions.

Abstract

Telemedicine has emerged as an innovative solution to address inequities in healthcare access in remote regions, particularly in developing countries facing geographical constraints and uneven distribution of health workers. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how telemedicine can support equitable healthcare delivery through an evidence-based systematic approach. Using a PRISMA-guided Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study synthesized 54 eligible articles identified from 412 publications. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of telemedicine is strongly influenced by digital infrastructure readiness, healthcare workforce competence, socio-cultural acceptance, and policy sustainability. Persistent challenges including unstable connectivity, low digital literacy, workforce overload, and fragmented governance continue to hinder optimal deployment in remote settings. The study concludes that telemedicine can serve as a viable equity-enhancing tool only when structurally integrated into the health system, supported by strategic investments in infrastructure, continuous professional training, and community-centered implementation models. These findings offer a foundation for developing more inclusive and sustainable digital health transformation strategies

Abstract

Social media has become a central instrument for health promotion in Indonesia, yet it simultaneously serves as a fertile environment for health-related disinformation. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of how social media functions in these dual roles both as a tool for health education and a channel for misinformation using a mixed-method integrative review approach. A total of 62 eligible articles were analyzed using thematic synthesis integrating quantitative and qualitative findings. The results reveal that social media can enhance the reach of health education through multimodal content, personalized messaging, and community engagement. However, engagement-driven algorithms, low digital health literacy, and the influence of non-expert figures enable disinformation to spread more rapidly than accurate information. These dynamics highlight the necessity for systemic interventions, including stronger information governance, improved health literacy programs, collaborations with content creators, and platform-level reforms that reduce the visibility of misleading content. The study concludes that social media can only function effectively as a health promotion tool if its educational potential is balanced with comprehensive and contextually grounded strategies to mitigate disinformation.

Abstract

Environmental pollution represents one of the most significant public health threats at both global and local levels. This article analyzes the health impacts of air, water, and soil pollution using a Systematic Literature Review guided by PRISMA standards. Out of 578 identified studies, 84 articles met the eligibility criteria and were thematically synthesized. Findings show that air pollution contributes to increased cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disorders, and premature mortality. Water pollution elevates risks of infectious diseases and heavy metal exposure, while soil pollution affects food safety and long term exposure to toxic substances. In Indonesia, pollution is exacerbated by rapid urbanization, social inequality, and uneven environmental governance. The study emphasizes the need for cross sector strategies, enhanced monitoring capacity, and stronger health oriented environmental policies. These insights provide an evidence based foundation for designing interventions aimed at reducing pollution burdens and improving public health protection

Abstract

Climate change is accelerating the transmission of vector borne diseases, particularly in tropical regions characterized by high temperatures, elevated humidity, and ecological conditions favorable for vector proliferation. This article examines the relationship between climate change and the rising burden of vector borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and Zika through a Systematic Literature Review conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. From 1,246 initially identified publications, 79 studies met inclusion criteria and were thematically synthesized. Findings indicate that increasing temperatures accelerate vector development and pathogen replication, rainfall variability expands breeding habitats, and high humidity prolongs vector survival. In tropical countries, rapid urbanization and infrastructural inequality further exacerbate disease risks, disproportionately affecting low income populations. The study highlights the need for climate informed early warning systems, innovative vector control methods, strengthened surveillance, and cross sector climate adaptation policies. These insights provide a scientific foundation for designing resilient public health strategies to address emerging vector borne disease threats in a warming climate

Abstract

Infertility among adult women has increased significantly in parallel with modern lifestyle changes characterized by chronic stress, unhealthy dietary patterns, sedentary behavior, circadian disruption, exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, and elevated air pollution levels. This article examines the relationship between modern lifestyle factors and female infertility through a Systematic Literature Review conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. From 538  initial records, 43 studies met inclusion criteria and were thematically synthesized. Findings indicate that chronic stress disrupts the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis, high sugar and high fat diets impair ovulation, sedentary behavior increases oxidative stress, and circadian misalignment from shift work reduces melatonin and contributes to menstrual irregularities. Exposure to chemicals such as BPA and phthalates lowers ovarian reserve, while air pollution elevates risks of infertility and miscarriage. The study highlights the need for integrative public health strategies, including lifestyle education, environmental regulation, workplace health reforms, and expanded access to fertility care
