Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a developmental phase that is vulnerable to stress. A stress study of 1,344 participants aged 14-18 years old experienced moderate (22.8%), severe (43.0%), and very severe (16.8%) stress. Health promotion not only focuses on individuals but also considers local wisdom culture, spirituality, and intergenerational relationships. Aims: Develop a mental health promotion model based on local wisdom values, spiritual adaptation, and parental emotional literacy. Method: This study is a qualitative study with a population of adolescents in Bali, Yogyakarta, and Madura. The sample used purposive sampling of 20 informants, namely adolescents, teachers, and parents, through a phenomenological approach with in-depth interviews conducted from June to August 2025. The data analysis process included reduction, categorization, synthesis, and formulation of working hypotheses. Results: Five themes were identified: 1) Stress responses manifested through self-isolation, compensatory behavior, obsessive use of technology; 2) Cultural factors play a role in regulating emotional expression and as a source of social resilience; 3) Spirituality as a source of inner peace and meaning of life through prayer, rituals, and interfaith beliefs; 4) Parenting styles are influenced by children's inner experiences and past emotional states that impact adolescents' psychological well-being; and 5) Coping strategies: problem-focused coping, emotional coping, and avoidance coping, with varying effectiveness depending on social and spiritual support. Conclusion: An intergenerational mental health promotion model based on the development of local wisdom, spiritual coping, and emotion-based parenting is recommended as a holistic approach to improving adolescent mental health in Indonesia, synergistically involving families, schools, and communities.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal obesity is a major global health issue, affecting 14.6% of women in Malaysia. An abnormally higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with various health problems, including reduced exercise capacity, affecting daily activities. During the postpartum period, BMI and exercise capacity significantly impact women's fitness and risk of other health problems. Yet, the predictor of exercise capacity related to BMI is not well defined and understood. The study aims to determine the level of exercise capacity and its predictor among postpartum women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Kepala Batas Health Clinic, Pulau Pinang. A total of 134 postpartum women were recruited using a purposive sampling method. Descriptive analysis was performed on data pertaining to sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric characteristics, and exercise capacity level as measured by the 2-Minute Step Test (2MST). Predictors of exercise capacity were analyzed using a stepwise linear regression test. Results: Overall, the mean BMI was 24.7 ± 4.9 kg/m² and the mean score of exercise capacity based on 2MST was 87.93 ± 9.89 heart beats per minute, which was good. The strongest significant predictor of exercise capacity among postpartum women is being overweight (R² = 80.1%). Higher BMI leads to more musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and fatigue, hindering exercise and physical activity. Conclusions: Postpartum women with an abnormal BMI should be provided with comprehensive intervention by a multidisciplinary team, particularly physiotherapy and dietitian. This intervention is crucial for preserving exercise capacity, which serves as a fundamental indicator of a woman's overall physical fitness.

Abstract

Introduction: Around 180 to 220 million young people are living with a disability and almost 80% are in developing countries. Adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID) face heightened risks of inappropriate sexual behavior, sexual violence, and reproductive health issues due to limited access to tailored education. Health professionals have a responsibility to educate, inform, and support adolescents with intellectual disabilities regarding their sexual and reproductive health. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore sexual and reproductive health education for adolescents with intellectual disabilities based on the perspective of health workers. Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted with 12 health workers from four primary health centers in Pangkalpinang City. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis. Result: Analysis yielded 47 transcripts, 150 codes, 9 categories, and 4 overarching themes: Modelling, Guided Practice, Reinforcement, and Feedback. Under Modelling, key categories included the use of tangible learning media, focused educational content and adaptive communication techniques. Guided Practice involved live demonstrations, small-group settings, structured time management, and parental involvement. Reinforcement primarily took the form of positive feedback. Informants emphasized that effective sexual and reproductive health education must be repetitive, interactive, and involve parents as co-educators. Conclusion: Sexual and reproductive health education for adolescents with intellectual disabilities based on the perspective of health workers is formed by modelling, guided practice, reinforcement and feedback. These findings provide a practical, evidence-based framework for developing standardized sexual and reproductive health programs and training curricula for health workers in similar settings.

Abstract

Introduction: As of March 2020, Indonesia’s COVID-19 case fatality rate was 8.9%. Cabin crew are directly exposed to the consequences of the pandemic during flights. In addition, widespread flight cancellations have been associated with increased anxiety among employees. Aims: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes, preventive behaviors, and anxiety among cabin crew in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Aviation Health Center in Indonesia. A total of 314 cabin crew participated in the study and were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data on knowledge, attitudes, preventive behaviors, and anxiety were collected using online questionnaires. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed using Chi-square and logistic regression. Results: The majority of participants were female (79.6%) and aged 17-25 years (38.2%). In the multivariate analysis, poor preventive behavior remained a significant predictor of anxiety (aOR=2.63; 95% CI=1.14-6.02; p=0.023). Participants with negative attitudes had 1.55 times higher odds of experiencing anxiety compared to those with positive attitudes (aOR=1.55; 95% CI=1.10-2.17; p=0.010). Conclusion:  Improving COVID-19–related attitudes and preventive behaviors among cabin crew may help reduce anxiety levels during flights.

Abstract

Introduction: Insufficient sleep has been shown to increase the risk of obesity by 6%. Aim: To investigate the effect of sleep duration on anthropometric measurements and insulin levels among obese adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in September–October 2019 among obese students in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. Sleep duration, anthropometric measurements, and insulin levels were assessed. Statistical analyses included tests of normality, independent samples t-tests or Mann–Whitney U tests, and Pearson’s correlation analysis. Results: A total of 165 obese adolescents were recruited. Participants with shorter sleep duration were older than those with recommended sleep duration. Male adolescents predominated over females (111 vs. 54). Sleep duration was associated with body mass index (BMI); adolescents with recommended sleep duration had a lower BMI compared to those with shorter sleep duration (33.86 ± 5.17 vs. 35.61 ± 5.12 kg/m², p = 0.049) and a smaller hip circumference (109.71 ± 9.98 vs. 113.49 ± 10.74 cm, p = 0.038). Other anthropometric parameters (waist circumference, body weight, and height) did not differ significantly between groups. Insulin levels were also lower in adolescents with recommended sleep duration compared to those with shorter sleep duration (23.35 ± 12.95 vs. 30.84 ± 16.92 μU/mL, p = 0.001). Weak correlations were observed between sleep duration and BMI, BMI-for-age z-score, hip circumference, and insulin levels. Conclusion: Sleep duration is correlated with BMI, hip circumference, and insulin levels among obese adolescents.

Abstract

Introduction: Applying knowledge and skills taught in classrooms into practice is a crucial aspect of nursing education, known as clinical practice. The successful completion of this application procedure will allow them to effectively connect the disparities between theoretical knowledge and practical experience, thus enhancing their skills and expertise in clinical decision-making. Prior research indicated that 70.7% of the participants could apply their classroom learning to their clinical practice. Concept mapping is an advantageous instrument for creating a treatment plan for a patient that is both coherent and systematic. Aims: The main objective of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CMCP in clinical settings. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design and included a sample of 218 second-year nursing students, with 109 participants in each group. Respondents were randomly recruited to either a control group, which received a lecture-based intervention, or an experimental group, which received a concept mapping intervention. The respondents were chosen from areas within four nursing colleges affiliated with Institut Latihan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (ILKKM). A p-value less than 0.05 was considered to be significantly different. Result: In clinical practices, the experimental group scored a CMCP score of 65.23, while the control group scored 59.33. The paired t-test (p < 0.05) observed significant statistical differences between the experimental and control groups. Conclusions: Concept mapping is essential for educators in nursing seeking to enhance their students' comprehension, apply theoretical information in clinical rotations, and develop understanding through enhanced conceptual connections.

Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia faces a "double burden" of malnutrition, particularly among vulnerable adolescents. While 16.8% are underweight, a combined 26.8% are overweight or obese. Modern malnutrition, driven by shifts in diet and physical activity, has evolved from simple nutrient deficiencies to include widespread overnutrition. Aim: This study aimed to assess the characteristics of adolescents in Indonesia and Bangladesh, the prevalence of malnutrition, and factors associated with malnutrition among adolescents in Indonesia and Bangladesh, including physical activity and sleep duration. Methods: The research design employed analytic observations with a cross-sectional approach. The sample comprosed 108 high school adolescents in Indonesia and 108 in Bangladesh. Respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using a Spearman statistical test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Result: The biggest nutritional problem found among adolescents in Indonesia was obesity at 22.2%, with less sleep duration at 59.3% and a moderate level of physical activity at 69.4%. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, the biggest nutritional problem found was underweight at 33.3%, with adequate sleep duration at 95.61% and sufficient physical activity at 52.7%. There was a significant correlation between sleep duration and nutritional status (p<0.001). Physical activity was not significantly correlated with nutritional status (p = 0.797). Conclusion: The relationship between sleep duration and nutritional status has a negative direction, indicating that shorter duration is associated with lower nutritional status. Health policies should integrate education on the prevention of nutrition problems ini adolescents into school-based nutrition programs, wich include physical activity and sleep duration.

Abstract

Introduction: Medication errors are events that can compromise patients’ safety. A total of 19,639 cases were reported in community pharmacies in Toronto between 2018-2021, with pharmacists and patients identifying 7,053 (35.9%) and 6,533 cases (33.3%), respectively. Several studies have shown that improving patient engagement is a key strategy to reduce the frequency and impact of the errors. Aims: This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding the prevention and management of medication errors among patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using self-administered questionnaires distributed to patients at pharmacies in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were then analyzed quantitatively using descriptive and inferential statistics. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's rank correlation were applied to identify variables that significantly affected knowledge, attitude, and practice. Results: The results showed that among 385 respondents, the average total knowledge score was 86.18%, which was considered a high level of knowledge. More than 90% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with statements related to the prevention and management of medication errors, while 37.69% actively engaged in such practice. The results also showed that age, gender, occupation, and education were found to influence patients' attitude and practice. In addition, patients with a positive attitude were more likely to engage in practice that prevents and manages medication errors. Conclusions: The knowledge, attitude, and practice survey confirmed that patients’ attitudes significantly affect their practices in preventing and managing medication errors, indicating the need to strengthen patient practices to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety.
