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.
