Abstract

Male participation in family planning remains low globally due to traditional gender norms, misconceptions about contraception, limited male friendly health services, and insufficient reproductive health education. This article examines how reproductive health education can enhance male involvement using a Systematic Literature Review guided by PRISMA 2020. From an initial pool of 1,024 studies, 83 met the inclusion criteria and were thematically synthesized. Findings indicate that reproductive health education increases men’s knowledge, improves couple communication, reduces myths about contraceptive methods, and enhances acceptance of both male and female contraceptives. Community based interventions, gender transformative education, and digital learning approaches demonstrated the strongest impact, particularly when integrated with supportive health systems and inclusive policies. The study underscores that strengthening male participation in family planning requires multi dimensional strategies involving health system reforms, community engagement, and comprehensive reproductive education to ensure sustainable program outcomes

Abstract

Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has risen sharply among urban adolescents in Indonesia due to the modernization of food environments, digital media exposure, and lifestyle transitions. This study examines the relationship between UPF consumption and adolescent obesity using a PRISMA-guided Systematic Literature Review (SLR), synthesizing 58 eligible articles from an initial 612 publications. Findings indicate that UPF consumption is driven by high accessibility, low cost, pervasive digital marketing, obesogenic school environments, and socio-cultural preferences that normalize fast-food intake. Physiologically, UPFs are energy-dense, low in fiber, and contain additives and added sugars that impair appetite regulation, contributing to excessive caloric intake and adiposity. Behavioral mechanisms such as screen-time snacking, emotional eating, and peer influence further exacerbate weight gain risks. Moreover, urban food environments with dense concentrations of convenience stores and fast-food outlets restrict access to healthier options. The study concludes that reducing adolescent obesity requires multi-level strategies including UPF marketing regulations, healthy school food zoning, digital nutrition education, and structural improvements to urban food environments. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive interventions to reduce UPF consumption and enhance urban adolescent health outcomes in Indonesia

Abstract

National health system preparedness is a critical determinant of a country’s ability to respond to increasingly frequent global health crises. This study analyzes Indonesia’s readiness through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A total of 67 articles from 742 identified publications were reviewed to assess technical capacity, governance, financing, workforce readiness, and digital health integration. Findings indicate that Indonesia has made progress in laboratory expansion, digital health initiatives, and intersectoral coordination. However, structural challenges remain, including unequal distribution of health facilities, limited workforce density, fragmented information systems, and insufficient health financing. The study highlights that preparedness must be multidimensional by strengthening real-time surveillance, integrated digital systems, sustainable financing, and responsive cross-sector governance. The results provide evidence-based insights to support long-term strategies for building a more resilient national health system capable of confronting future global crises

Abstract

Mental health stigma remains a major obstacle to accessing psychological services in urban communities. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review guided by PRISMA to examine public stigma, self stigma, structural barriers, and digital factors influencing help seeking behaviors. Out of 684 identified publications, 62 articles met the criteria and were thematically synthesized. The findings indicate that stigma is reinforced by cultural norms, social expectations, and gaps in mental health literacy. Economic barriers, limited workforce distribution, and fragmented service systems further restrict access. While digital mental health platforms offer new opportunities, digital inequalities and privacy concerns reduce adoption among vulnerable groups. The study highlights that reducing stigma and improving access require multidimensional approaches involving policy reform, community based interventions, mental health education, and safe, inclusive digital solutions. These findings provide an evidence based foundation for designing systemic interventions to strengthen urban mental health ecosystems in Indonesia

Abstract

Nutritional status of children under five is a key indicator of public health and reflects the quality of human resource development. Malnutrition among under-five children remains prevalent in many communities and is influenced by multifactorial determinants. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing the nutritional status of children under five using a quantitative analytic approach. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 240 children and their mothers or caregivers. Data were collected using anthropometric measurements and structured questionnaires. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression. The results revealed that household socioeconomic status, feeding practices, maternal education, and sanitation conditions were significantly associated with children’s nutritional status. Multivariate analysis identified household socioeconomic status as the most dominant factor affecting nutritional status, followed by feeding practices and maternal education. These findings indicate that child malnutrition is not solely related to individual behavioral factors but is also strongly influenced by broader socioeconomic and environmental conditions. This study highlights the need for integrated, community-based, and evidence-driven nutrition interventions that address social, economic, and environmental determinants simultaneously.

Abstract

The public health planning faces on increasing challenges related to disease burden, limited resources, and the need of more proactive decision-making. In this context, artificial intelligence–based on predictive analytics offers potential support for evidence-based public health planning through data utilization and health trend forecasting. The study aims to analyze the utilization of artificial intelligence–based predictive analytics in public health planning and its role in support of planning quality. A quantitative descriptive-analytical design was employed by structured questionnaires data collection involving stakeholders engaged in public health planning. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and descriptive relational analysis to map patterns of predictive analytics utilization and planning quality. The findings indicate that predictive analytics utilization is a moderate to high level and is positively associated with public health planning quality, particularly in data-driven decision-making and anticipatory capacity for future health needs. However, predictive analytics is more frequently applied to forecasting purposes than for direct resource allocation and operational decision-making. The study concludes that artificial intelligence–based predictive analytics serves as an important decision-support instrument in evidence-based public health planning, while further institutional capacity building and governance improvements data are required to maximize its impact.

Abstract

Family dietary consumption behavior that does not comply with balanced nutrition principles remains a major public health concern. Nutrition education is widely implemented as a promotive and preventive strategy; however, its effectiveness in producing actual behavioral change requires empirical validation. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of nutrition education on changes in family consumption behavior compared to a control group. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group was employed. Families were assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received structured nutrition education, while the control group received no or standard education. Dietary consumption behavior was measured using a structured questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data analysis included within- and between-group comparisons and ANCOVA to control for confounding variables. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in consumption behavior scores in the intervention group compared to the control group. The difference remained significant after controlling for confounders. These findings indicate that nutrition education is effective in promoting meaningful changes in family dietary behavior beyond knowledge improvement alone. The study concludes that nutrition education constitutes an evidence-based intervention for improving family consumption behavior within public health programs.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed the urban food environment through the increased use of food delivery apps and exposure to digital food promotions, potentially posing latent health risks to young people. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the digital food environment and the risk of latent obesity among urban youth using a mixed methods approach. A sequential explanatory design was implemented with a quantitative phase involving 240 young people aged 18–30 years, followed by a qualitative phase through in-depth interviews with high-risk participants. Quantitative data were collected through body composition measurements and a digital food environment exposure questionnaire, then analyzed using multivariate statistics. The results showed that 34.6% of respondents with a normal body mass index (BMI) experienced latent obesity, and exposure to a high digital food environment significantly increased the risk of latent obesity. Qualitative findings revealed the normalization of high-calorie food consumption in digital spaces, efficiency-based rationalizations, and low awareness of latent obesity. The integration of findings indicates that the digital food environment not only influences consumption patterns but also shapes youth's perceptions and behavioral justifications. This study confirms that the digital food environment is a structural determinant of latent obesity risk, necessitating prevention strategies that include digital health literacy, regulation of online food promotions, and the use of more comprehensive health indicators.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of wearable technology has transformed how Generation Z monitors and interprets health through intensive self-tracking practices. Although wearables are widely promoted as tools to enhance fitness and well-being, excessive health monitoring may generate psychological strain and negatively influence health perception. This study aims to examine the effect of wearable usage intensity on health perception among Generation Z and to investigate the mediating role of self-tracking anxiety. A quantitative explanatory survey design was employed. Data were collected from 240 Generation Z respondents who actively use wearable devices and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicate that wearable usage intensity has a significant positive effect on self-tracking anxiety. Furthermore, self-tracking anxiety has a significant negative effect on health perception. Mediation analysis confirms that self-tracking anxiety partially mediates the relationship between wearable usage intensity and health perception. These findings reveal a paradox of digital fitness technologies, where increased health monitoring does not necessarily lead to more positive health perceptions. This study contributes to the literature on digital health technology by highlighting the psychological consequences of wearable use and offers practical implications for developing more balanced wearable designs and health technology literacy initiatives.

Abstract

Pressure ulcers remain one of the most serious complications among critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), serving as a key indicator of healthcare quality and patient safety. This study aims to analyze the influence of nurses’ perceptions of pressure ulcer risk on their prevention practices in the ICU of Makassar City General Hospital. A quantitative approach with a correlational observational and cross-sectional design was employed. Primary data were obtained through structured questionnaires assessing risk perception and observation sheets evaluating prevention practices, while secondary data were collected from hospital documents related to policies and pressure ulcer incidence reports. The findings revealed that most nurses had a good perception of pressure ulcer risk and demonstrated adequate prevention practices, with a significant relationship between perception and preventive performance. The results indicate that a higher perception of risk enhances adherence to evidence-based preventive actions such as patient repositioning, skin integrity monitoring, and the use of pressure-relieving devices. Theoretically, this study reinforces the application of the Health Belief Model in critical nursing practice, emphasizing that individual perception plays a crucial role in shaping preventive behavior. Practically, the study provides empirical evidence to support the development of training programs and quality improvement policies focused on strengthening nurses’ risk perception of pressure ulcers as part of patient safety strategies in hospitals
