Abstract

Background: Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a major global public health concern, affecting 18% of girls and 7.6% of boys worldwide. In Indonesia, over 14,000 cases were reported in 2022, underscoring the urgency of preventive action. Early sexuality education effectively reduces CSA risk; however, its implementation is limited by cultural taboos, parental discomfort, and inadequate communication skills. Mothers play a vital role in teaching body safety and personal boundaries, but related behaviors and influencing factors are underexplored in Indonesia. Objective: To examine mothers’ behaviors in providing sexuality education to young children and identify the influencing factors and barriers. Methods: A descriptive-analytical survey was conducted among 42 mothers of kindergarten students in Sawangan District, Magelang, from January to March 2025. Mothers’ behavior in delivering sexuality education served as the dependent variable, while independent variables included intention, self-efficacy, attitude, perception, communication barriers, and husband’s support. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and path analysis. Results: Mothers mainly discussed topics related to family roles, boundaries, and hygiene, but rarely covered pregnancy or childbirth. The analysis showed that intention influenced behavior (β = 0.486, p = 0.000), and was predicted by self-efficacy (β = 0.714, p = 0.000). Self-efficacy was shaped by barriers, perception, and attitude, while husband’s support helped reduce barriers. Conclusion: Enhancing mothers’ self-efficacy, addressing cultural barriers, and involving fathers can strengthen the delivery of sexuality education. This study advances understanding of parental determinants in CSA prevention within Indonesia’s cultural context.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, reflecting chronic undernutrition and recurrent infections in early childhood. Exclusive breastfeeding and immunization are key interventions to promote healthy growth and child survival, aligning with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being). However, evidence on their combined effects on stunting is inconsistent, especially in rural areas like Sumedang, where local data are limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between exclusive breastfeeding, immunization status, and stunting among children aged 2–5 years in rural Indonesia. Methods: A community-based, case–control study involved 132 children (66 stunted and 66 non-stunted), aged 24–59 months. Data on stunting, breastfeeding, and immunization were collected via structured questionnaires and verified through child health records. Purposive sampling was used. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Children not exclusively breastfed had a significantly higher risk of stunting (p=0.001; OR=3.27, 95% CI: 1.48–7.22). Immunization completeness was not significantly associated with stunting (p=0.380; OR=1.36, 95% CI: 0.68–2.71). Conclusion: Exclusive breastfeeding offers strong protection against stunting and is vital for achieving SDG 2 and SDG 3. While immunization was not directly linked to stunting in this study, it remains essential for preventing infections that may indirectly impair growth. Strengthening breastfeeding promotion and community health programs are crucial for reducing stunting in rural Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that in 2022, approximately 1.25 billion people aged 15 and over worldwide were smokers. ASEAN countries contribute 10% of the world's total smokers, with Indonesia having the highest smoking prevalence, exceeding 50%. The Central Statistics Agency of DKI Jakarta Province (2024) reported that 22.56% of the population aged 15 years and older are smokers, with 13.39% of smokers in South Jakarta aged 18-24. Several factors influence smoking behavior, including the ease of obtaining cigarettes, peer conformity, family roles, and academic stress. These factors have been widely studied as significant determinants of smoking behavior, particularly among final-year university students who face educational and social pressures. Objective: This study aims to examine the factors influencing smoking behavior among final-year Mechanical Engineering students at UPN Veteran Jakarta. Methods: This study use a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 70 respondents were selected through total sampling from the final-year students of the Mechanical Engineering Study Program at UPN Veteran Jakarta. Data were collected between April and May 2025 using a structured questionnaire consisting of validated items related to smoking behavior and its associated factors. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: There is a significant relationship between the ease of obtaining cigarettes (p= 0,008), peer conformity (p = 0,000), family role (p = 0,018), and academic stress (p = 0,000) and smoking behavior among final-year students.Conclusion: The results indicate that all four factors significantly correlate with smoking behavior, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to reduce smoking behavior among university students.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adolescents is on the rise annually. Various initiatives have been implemented to mitigate morbidity and mortality rates.  However, the incidence of STIs among adolescents remains alarmingly high, highlighting the need to strengthen preventive measures and expand access to high-quality screening services. Objective: To identify and categorize strategies for improving prevention and screening behaviors relate to STIs among adolescents. Method: The investigation employed a comprehensive review design. Articles were procured from four databases: PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. All articles were evaluated for their suitability to address the research questions using the Population, Concept, Context (PCC) as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria. Article screening was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines (2020), and the Guidance for Conducting Systematic Scoping Review (2015) was followed to extract the data. Results: The search yielded 6,073 articles. Based on the screening, 8 articles were analyzed further. Most of the articles reported that prevention and screening for STIs were more common among adolescent girls. Some methods of improving STI prevention and screening include education, counselling, discussion, campaigns, the utilization of technology (tablets), and facilitator training. Conclusion: Improving STI prevention and screening among adolescents requires specific strategies and approaches. Effective strategies and approaches must take into account the developmental characteristics of adolescents, the influence of the social environment, and the role of peers in shaping health behaviors. Further research is needed to develop peer support-based interventions for adolescents to promote STI prevention and increase participation in STI screening.

Abstract

Background: Menstrual hygiene remains a concern in Islamic boarding schools owing to limited access to information and the strong influence of inherited myths. A preliminary survey at the Darul Huffaz Islamic Boarding School revealed that some female students were reluctant to wash their hair during menstruation and lacked awareness of genital hygiene due to myth-based beliefs. A previous study in Bandar Lampung found that 60% of adolescent girls experienced itching during menstruation, and none had received specific education on menstrual hygiene. Objectives: This study aimed to examine female students’ knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding menstrual hygiene behavior. Methods: This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 211 female students were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using Likert-scale and multiple-choice questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: 128 female students (75.3%) had good knowledge and hygiene practices, 119 (76.3%) had positive attitudes and good hygiene actions, and 136 (70.5%) were skeptical of myths and maintained good hygiene behavior. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge (p=0.001; OR=3.529) and attitudes (p=0.000; OR=0.335) and menstrual hygiene behavior. In contrast, no significant relationship was found between belief in myths and hygiene practices (p=0.297). Conclusion: Female students had good knowledge and attitudes regarding menstrual hygiene behavior and held fewer myth-related beliefs, which helped prevent reproductive tract infections, irritation, and genital itching. Based on these findings, efforts are still needed to improve their knowledge and attitudes so that they do not easily believe in circulating menstrual myths.

Abstract

Background: Smoking is a unique social phenomenon among adolescents because it begins with high curiosity to try cigarettes and eventually develops into a habit that is difficult to stop. Objectives: This research aims to explore adolescents' perceptions of pictorial health warnings (PHWs) on cigarette packs. Method:  This research is qualitative, using a purposive sampling technique with predetermined criteria.  The population was male adolescents aged 10-19 years. This research involved 35 adolescents from Banjarmasin City, Banjarbaru City, and Tanah Bumbu Regency, South Kalimantan Province. Data were collected using an open-ended questionnaire. Results: The findings of this research can be grouped into several main thematic areas, namely perceptions of visual content, effectiveness of pictorial health warnings (PHWs), suggestions for improvement, emotional responses, and intensity of attention. Participants generally thought that the images displayed on cigarette packs should more explicitly highlight the health effects of smoking. Perceptions of the effectiveness of current PHWs varied, ranging from the view that PHWs are less attractive to quite effective in conveying health messages. Some of the suggestions that emerged included typographical changes, selection of more visually disturbing images, and the addition of elements such as information on medical costs, unappealing colors, and warnings about death. Regarding the intensity of attention to PHWs, participants' responses varied, ranging from not paying attention to seeing them frequently. Most participants believed that PHWs can influence adolescents' decisions not to smoke through emotional responses in the form of fear and concern about their impact. Conclusion: This research indicates that the effectiveness of PHWs on cigarette packs for adolescents is limited, and design improvements as well as cross-sector collaboration are needed to increase awareness of their impact.
