Peran Skrining Indeks Massa Tubuh Dan Rasio Lingkar Pinggang-Pinggul Dalam Edukasi Pencegahan Risiko Metabolik Di Jakarta Selatan

Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) are key indicators in evaluating metabolic risk. A high distribution of abdominal fat is closely associated with insulin resistance and various metabolic disorders. Mealtime-based interventions, such as time-restricted eating (TRE), are considered promising preventive strategies. This community education and anthropometric assessment were conducted at St. Francis of Assisi Church, South Jakarta, using the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) framework. Parameters evaluated included BMI and WHR, accompanied by visual educational materials on daily mealtime structuring. Among the 65 adult participants, the average BMI was 25.74 kg/m² and the average WHR was 0.9. A total of 56.92% were categorized as obese, and 83.08% exhibited a high WHR. These findings reflect a predominance of central adiposity, which is strongly associated with elevated metabolic risk. The high proportion of individuals with overweight and central fat accumulation highlights the urgency of preventive and promotive efforts. Educational interventions, particularly through poster-based delivery of information on time-restricted eating, present a feasible approach to raising public awareness on the importance of structured mealtimes as a preventive measure against metabolic disorders.

Health Information-Seeking Behavior in Older Adults with Vision Impairment Among Different Stages of Eye Care: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study

Background/Objectives: Visual impairment (VI) represents a significant health challenge among older adults, particularly due to their limited understanding of health information. This study aimed to investigate and compare the health information-seeking behavior (HISB) of older adults with VI across different stages of eye care. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in 248 older adults with VI in various stages of eye care, including the pre-visit stage (n = 84), treatment stage (n = 83), and follow-up stage (n = 81) at the Shenzhen Eye Hospital from July to October 2024. Participants completed an HISB questionnaire encompassing four dimensions: attitude, needs, sources, and barriers. Results: The overall mean score of HISB varied significantly among the different eye care stages. The treatment stage had the highest scores (3.70 ± 0.32), particularly in attitudes toward health information and information needs. Poor self-reported overall health facilitated HISB in each stage. In the pre-visit stage, higher income was associated with increased HISB, while a lack of internet access reduced it. In the treatment stage, higher education was associated with higher HISB, whereas moderate-to-severe VI and certain income levels were associated with negative effects. In the follow-up stage, rural residence and spousal or child caregiving emerged as key facilitators of HISB. Conclusions: The treatment stage is a critical period for HISB engagement in older adults with VI. Healthcare providers should consider stage-specific factors of HISB to optimize health information delivery.

The findings show that early studies often focused on technical implementation, while later research more frequently addressed user-centered topics such as information delivery and repeated use. Studies involving patients were more common, while those focusing on medical professionals appeared more limited. Empirical studies were relatively prevalent, whereas theoretical discussions remained less integrated.

Current status of nutrition education media and its utilization in providing customized nutrition information for older adults in Korea: a scoping review based on the transtheoretical model and food literacy

Objectives: This study analyzes the status of nutrition education media among Korean older adults based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) and their food literacy to propose effective strategies for the development and utilization of educational media.Methods: A literature review was conducted using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) protocol. The literature search was performed using government and local government agency websites, as well as those of affiliated institutions, health and nutrition-related academic societies, and academic search engines. A total of 144 studies were identified, and after a cross-evaluation by two reviewers based on the literature selection criteria, 73 studies were included in the final analysis.Results: Among the types of nutrition education media, card news had the highest proportion, followed by video media. The development and distribution of nutrition education media for older adults were primarily carried out by government and local government agencies, as well as related affiliated institutions, accounting for 80.8% (n = 59) of the total. When nutrition education topics in the media were categorized according to the stages of behavior change in the TTM, the largest proportion, 64.6% (n = 61), was applicable to the precontemplation and contemplation stages. When categorized by food literacy domains, all topics fell under the categories of nutrition and safety.Conclusion: Nutrition education media for older adults were found to be primarily focused on knowledge acquisition and information delivery, making them mostly applicable to the precontemplation and contemplation stages of behavior change. The concept of food literacy addressed in the different types of media was limited to the domains of nutrition and safety, with no content covering the cultural and relational domains or the social and ecological domains. For tailored nutrition education, it is necessary to develop diverse educational materials that comprehensively reflect each stage of the TTM and all aspects of food literacy.

Visa readiness programs: Enhancing F-1 visa success through structured simulation-based coaching

International students use the F-1 student visa as essential access to pursue their studies at American higher education institutions. The application process for visas including the consular interview creates substantial difficulties for skilled applicants who seek to obtain their visa. Each year thousands of qualified students who meet their academic and financial qualifications face rejection due to inadequate interview performance and cultural misunderstandings and elevated stress during examinations. This paper looks at structured simulation-based coaching in Visa Readiness Programs and their ability to improve outcomes for F-1 visa applicants. Structured simulation-based coaching teaches candidates through mock interview practice and real-time feedback while using role-play and situational analysis to duplicate consular interview situations. The trainings use real-world experiences instead of basic information delivery to develop students' abilities to express themselves verbally while also teaching them effective non-verbal signals that include confidence and eye contact and posture. This article uses education and psychology research together with intercultural communication insights to explain how simulation techniques improve competency while lowering anxiety and embedding essential study narratives within candidates. This research identifies four core features that make a successful VRP system: adjustable scenario content, cultural awareness protocols and individualized training components with customizable evaluation systems. Detailed case studies combined with data analysis reveal how Virtual Reality-based training programs generate concrete results that lead to higher visa acceptance rates and enhanced student morale with fewer application disparities between different applicant groups. The article presents practical implementation challenges for large-scale VRPs including infrastructure costs and physical barriers together with privacy and authenticity concerns. The final section presents policy suggestions for universities, coaching centers and government entities who want to increase equal educational visa access through better visa preparation methods.

The Impact of Health Literacy on Nonvaccination Against COVID-19: The Moderating Role of Age.

This study evaluated the relationship between health information literacy and nonvaccination against COVID-19, while identifying potential moderating factors. The study included 229 237 participants who reported on their COVID-19 vaccination experiences as part of the 2021 Korea Community Health Survey. Using multiple logistic regression, we analyzed the impact of health information literacy on vaccination status, adjusting for sociodemographic and personal hygiene factors, and calculated the odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Individuals who have difficulty understanding health information were at increased risk of being unvaccinated against COVID-19. Additionally, sociodemographic factors and hand hygiene independently influenced vaccination status. Notably, health literacy showed an age-dependent relationship with COVID-19 vaccination, with individuals below 45 and above 75 having a 17% and 32% higher risk of remaining unvaccinated due to difficulties in understanding health information, respectively. To reduce nonvaccination rates, health communication strategies that improve information delivery may be particularly beneficial for both younger and older age groups.

Pelanggaran Etika Pariwara Indonesia dalam Iklan Dancow 1+ Imunonutri

Advertisements are an effective communication tool to influence consumer behavior, including promoting the Dancow 1+ immunonutri formula milk product. However, advertising must meet the standards of the Indonesian Advertising Ethics to avoid misleading consumers. This research explores ethical violations in the "Dancow 1+ Imunonutri" advertisement, which was found to violate several articles in the Indonesian Advertising Ethics. Claims suggesting that consuming this product instantly can enhance children's intelligence, along with the use of dramatic visuals and price comparisons without supporting data, are considered misleading. This methodology uses qualitative descriptive analysis through advertisement observation and an advertising ethics approach. The analysis results show that the advertisement violates Article 1.29.3, which requires the delivery of clear and non-misleading information.

Large Language Models in Medical Chatbots: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Need to Address AI Risks

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming the capabilities of medical chatbots by enabling more context-aware, human-like interactions. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of their applications, technical foundations, benefits, challenges, and future directions in healthcare. LLMs are increasingly used in patient-facing roles, such as symptom checking, health information delivery, and mental health support, as well as in clinician-facing applications, including documentation, decision support, and education. However, as a study from 2024 warns, there is a need to manage “extreme AI risks amid rapid progress”. We examine transformer-based architectures, fine-tuning strategies, and evaluation benchmarks specific to medical domains to identify their potential to transfer and mitigate AI risks when using LLMs in medical chatbots. While LLMs offer advantages in scalability, personalization, and 24/7 accessibility, their deployment in healthcare also raises critical concerns. These include hallucinations (the generation of factually incorrect or misleading content by an AI model), algorithmic biases, privacy risks, and a lack of regulatory clarity. Ethical and legal challenges, such as accountability, explainability, and liability, remain unresolved. Importantly, this review integrates broader insights on AI safety, drawing attention to the systemic risks associated with rapid LLM deployment. As highlighted in recent policy research, including work on managing extreme AI risks, there is an urgent need for governance frameworks that extend beyond technical reliability to include societal oversight and long-term alignment. We advocate for responsible innovation and sustained collaboration among clinicians, developers, ethicists, and regulators to ensure that LLM-powered medical chatbots are deployed safely, equitably, and transparently within healthcare systems.

Factors influencing engagement in survivorship care among young adult survivors of hematologic malignancies: a mixed methods report.

Long-term survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer are at risk for treatment-related late effects; therefore, survivorship care is essential. We explored the survivorship experience among young adult survivors of hematologic malignancies participating in a multi-institutional financial navigation trial. We conducted a secondary analysis using a mixed-methods, qualitative-dominant approach. Analysis was restricted to participants who completed an end-of-study interview. Baseline quantitative survey data related to survivorship care and engagement were included. Interview transcripts were analyzed using directed content analysis and inductive reasoning. Themes related to survivorship care were reviewed and further examined as factors influencing survivorship care engagement. The 45 participants' median age was 31.5years (Q1 = 28, Q3 = 35), with more than half (57.2%) identifying as Asian, Hispanic, or other non-Hispanic non-White. Median time since their blood cancer diagnosis was 9years (interquartile range 6-18). During baseline assessment, 45.2% of participants reported having a treatment summary and 50.0% were currently receiving survivorship care. Most (83.3%) felt they had received all recommended care within the previous year; however, 50.0% reported delaying or foregoing care due to cost. Nearly half referenced engagement in survivorship care during their interview. Factors serving as catalysts or barriers that influenced care engagement included late effects, mental health concerns, cost of care, and travel logistics for continued care at specialty centers. Young adults' survivorship engagement is influenced by varied factors long after diagnosis. These findings emphasize the importance of tailoring information delivery and interventions to meet the needs of this growing population. NCT05620979, registered/posted on 11/17/2022.

Breast and prostate cancer survivors’ understanding of risk and management of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal side effects of treatment: findings from focus groups

PurposeSurvival after a cancer diagnosis is improving, increasing the importance of understanding and managing long-term treatment-related adverse effects. This study aimed to understand breast and prostate cancer survivors’ understanding of how cancer treatment may affect cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health.MethodsAustralian breast and prostate cancer survivors treated with therapies with known cardiovascular adverse effects were recruited via a private cancer care provider. Participants completed an online background questionnaire, then participated in a focus group. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, then analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsIn total, 26 cancer survivors (15 breast, 11 prostate; mean age 67 years) participated in one of seven focus groups. Three major themes were developed: 1) Focus is on the here and now, not the future—participants were infrequently told that their cancer treatment can have negative long-term effects; 2) Wanting individualised delivery of side-effect information—participants received varying types and amounts of information about side effects, but it was not delivered in a way that best suited them; and 3) Left wondering how to best manage side effects—few participants were provided with information about how to manage long term side effects, despite wanting this information.ConclusionImportant information about long-term side effects of cancer treatment, and how to manage them, was inconsistently provided to breast and prostate cancer survivors. Information about long-term treatment side effects should be delivered in a flexible, individualised way to better enable cancer survivors to understand the risk and engage in preventative health behaviours.

THE ROLE OF GENDER IN LANGUAGE USE IN FOOD VLOGS: A SOCIOLINGUISTIC STUDY OF ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES

This research investigates the use of gender in language in food vlogs, where it centers on adjective use and strategies of engagement using a sociolinguistic framework. With Hyland's Metadiscourse Model and Tannen's Report vs. Rapport Talk, the research examines ten food vlogs (five by male and five by female uploaders). Findings identify male uploaders as using more descriptive adjectives and utilizing stronger interactive metadiscourse markers that stress information delivery ("report talk"). Compared to female vloggers, male vloggers employ more emotional adjectives and prefer interactional markers to promote audience affiliation ("rapport talk"). Quantitative results indicate that male vloggers lead the use of transitions and engagement markers, whereas females exhibit higher usage of hedges and self-mentions in relational storytelling. The differences imply that gendered styles of communication have an impact on digital content creation. The research has implications for sociolinguistic studies and digital media research, with an understanding of the limitations of the sample size and cultural diversity. Future studies ought to extend to cross-cultural settings and other linguistic features like metaphors and narrative structures.
