Abstract

Introduction: Singlehood is on the rise, According to China's Ministry of Civil Affairs, the number of single adults is projected to exceed 300 million in 2025, accounting for approximately 21.25% of the total population. few studies have investigated how well gratitude intervention training (GIT) can improve single emerging adults' subjective well-being (SWB). Aims: The 6-week GIT intended to improve SWB in Chinese single emerging adults is being empirically evaluated. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used in this mixed-method study to investigate the acceptability and effectiveness of the 6-week GIT in Chinese single emerging adults (N = 52). A two-group (experimental group and waitlist control group) pretest and posttest methodology was used to develop the quantitative strand. Data analysis was performed via univariate ANCOVA. 12 of the participants in the experimental group were invited to join semi-structured interviews after completion of six sessions. Qualitative data were analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis. Results: After six weeks in the GIT, Chinese single emerging adults' SWB scores significantly increased (F(1,49) = 28.031, p < 0.001, η² = 0.364), and pairwise comparisons via Bonferroni adjustment confirmed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.628, 1.396]). The participants' positive experiences, which demonstrated the acceptability and effectiveness of the GIT, supported the results. Conclusion: This study positively validated the effect of a 6-week GIT on SWB in Chinese single emerging adults.

Abstract

Introduction: Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) are frequently prescribed to older adults, increasing the risk of adverse drug events. Physicians and pharmacists play key roles in minimizing PIM use through rational prescribing and medication review. However, awareness and experience with PIM screening tools among healthcare professionals in Indonesia remain limited. This study aimed to assess physicians' and pharmacists' awareness, experiences, and barriers to rational prescribing for the elderly, particularly regarding the avoidance of PIMs, in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among general practitioners (GPs), internists, neurologists, geriatricians, and hospital pharmacists at two teaching hospitals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A self-administered, valid, and reliable questionnaire was used, and the data obtained were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Spearman Correlation. Results: Among 91 participants, more than 50% of pharmacists and physicians have no experience in using explicit PIM criteria. Most pharmacists (58.33%) and physicians (58.18%) demonstrated high to very high awareness in avoiding PIMs as presented in the questionnaire scenario. There was a correlation between physicians' and pharmacists’ awareness of PIM and their duration of practice (p<0.05). The main barriers identified by pharmacists were polypharmacy, drug intolerance, and medication costs, whereas physicians highlighted potential drug interactions, polypharmacy, and reimbursement policies under the national health insurance (NHI) scheme. Conclusion: In geriatric patient care, closely related to polypharmacy, PIMs that cannot be avoided require strict monitoring to ensure patient safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for 74% deaths globally and 69% of deaths in Indonesia. A determining factor is one’s lifestyle of often neglecting health, emphasizing the need for access to reliable health information. Aims: This study, using the extended theory of planned behavior framework, was conducted to explore how psychosocial factors and trust in science influence Indonesian’s intention to seek information about NCDs. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled Indonesia residents aged >18 years. Using a nonprobability sampling method, a sample size of 809 respondents was recruited. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to assess the relationship within the measurement and structural models. Results: Attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were psychosocial factors identified to affect the intention to seek health information. Trust in science was another predictor of the intention. Conclusion: Theoretically, these findings offer valuable insights into enhancing the theory of planned behavior framework by incorporating factors, such as trust in science. Practically, this research provides recommendations for health communicators and policymakers to increasingly engage the Indonesian population on NCDs through community empowerment and health promotion by collaborating with community health centers and higher education sectors.

Abstract

Introduction: Academic stress, changes in learning paradigms, adaptation to the transition to college, and cultural upheavals can all impact first-year students' sleep and quality of life. Decreased quality of life (QoL) may result from insufficient sleep. Poor sleep quality has been reported in 73% of nursing students in Indonesia.  An initial survey of 30 students in their first academic year at a private university revealed that 90% of respondents were dissatisfied with their sleep, and 26.7% reported a low QoL. Aims: Assess sleep quality, QoL, and factors related to QoL among first-year nursing students at a private university in Tangerang. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a private university in Tangerang, and ethical approval was obtained. The population consisted of 436 first-year nursing students, of whom 235 were selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used were the WHOQOL-BREF and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), administered as online questionnaires. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted using the chi-square test. Results: Most respondents (94.9%) had poor sleep quality, whereas 51.9% had a good QoL. Furthermore, the chi-square test revealed no association between gender (p = 0.384) or sleep quality (p = 0.451) and QoL. However, there was an association between regional origin and student QoL (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Universities, faculties, and dormitories should offer comprehensive health promotion, conducive learning environments, and student support programs that foster successful academic and social adjustment while promoting healthy sleep behaviors and overall well-being to enhance the QoL of nursing students.

Abstract

Introduction: University students represent a vulnerable population navigating psychosocial transitions from adolescence to adulthood. Studies indicate that 50–60% of students worldwide experience significantly elevated anxiety levels, particularly during the final stages of their academic journey. This high prevalence can impair cognitive performance and emotional well-being. Digital interventions have gained prominence for their accessibility and flexibility; however, spiritually integrated digital approaches, particularly within Islamic contexts, remain limited despite their cultural relevance and growing empirical evidence supporting their effectiveness. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a spiritually integrated digital intervention based on Islamic contemplation practices in reducing anxiety and enhancing mindfulness among nursing students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest control group design, involving 45 participants allocated into three intervention groups: Qur’anic recitation, dhikr, and a combination of both. Psychological outcomes were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). Statistical analysis was conducted using paired sample t-tests, MANOVA, and post hoc comparisons. Results: The results demonstrated a significant reduction in anxiety (mean difference = -10.267, p < 0.001) and a substantial increase in mindfulness (mean difference = -42.100, p < 0.001) after the intervention. The combination group yielded the greatest reduction in anxiety, whereas the dhikr group exhibited the highest mindfulness gains. Post hoc analysis revealed significant differences between specific intervention types. Conclusion: The findings highlight the potential of digital interventions grounded in Islamic spirituality to regulate emotional states and cultivate mindful awareness. This culturally adapted approach may represent an effective mental health strategy in healthcare education settings.
