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.
