Community Pharmacy as a Health Empowerment Hub: An X-Banner Education Programme to Strengthen Knowledge and Awareness of Acute Respiratory Infections among Pharmacy Customers in Kalibagor District
type: item
description: Acute respiratory infection (ARI) remains a major public-health burden in Indonesia, with the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey reporting a national prevalence of 34.2% and Central Java Province contributing approximately 13.0% of national cases. Community-empowerment programmes that strengthen health literacy at trusted primary contact points such as community pharmacies are aligned with sustainable development goal (SDG) 3 on good health and well-being and with Goals 4, 10, and 17. We designed and evaluated an X-banner-based community-empowerment programme co-created with pharmacy staff and five community representatives at Hazkia Pharmacy, Kalibagor District, Banyumas Regency, in January 2026. We enrolled 100 customers using random sampling from a sequential customer list (Slovin formula). The empowerment medium was a 160 × 60 cm X-banner displaying ARI causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention, and clean and healthy living behaviour (PHBS); customers were exposed passively during routine waiting time of 8–22 minutes. A validated and reliable knowledge-and-awareness questionnaire (piloted in 30 separate respondents; Cronbach's α = 0.84 knowledge, 0.81 awareness) measured outcomes immediately before and after exposure. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests analysed paired changes after non-normality (p = 0.000) and non-homogeneity (p = 0.000) were confirmed. The good-knowledge proportion rose from 27.0% to 99.0% and good-awareness from 29.0% to 100.0%; both improvements were statistically significant (Wilcoxon p < 0.001; rank-biserial r ≈ 0.99). The programme advances SDG 3.3, 3.D, 4.7, 10.3, and 17.17 indicators, embeds a low-cost sustainability action, and offers a replicable model for community-pharmacy-anchored empowerment in Central Java Province.

Community-Based Male Engagement for Maternal Health: The SAPA SUAMI Initiative in Central Kalimantan
type: item
description: Husband involvement in maternal health remains a critical challenge in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to suboptimal antenatal care utilization. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the SAPA SUAMI (Sayangi dan Pahami Suami — Love and understand the role of husbands) community empowerment program in enhancing husband knowledge and support for reproductive health service access among pregnant women in Palangka Raya City, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). A pre-experimental study with one-group pre-test and post-test design involved 20 couples (pregnant women and their husbands) at UPTD Puskesmas Panarung on 17 February 2026. The intervention comprised structured health education, interactive group discussion, and educational leaflet distribution focusing on the husband's role in antenatal care support. Knowledge was assessed using a 10-item questionnaire. Mean knowledge scores improved significantly from 8.70 (standard deviation 1.63) to 9.85 (standard deviation 0.37) post-intervention, representing an 11.5% increase (Wilcoxon signed-rank test: Z = -2.449, p = 0.014; effect size r = 0.55). The proportion of participants achieving maximum scores increased from 70.0% to 85.0%, while participants scoring below 8 decreased from 20.0% to 0.0%. In conclusion, these preliminary findings suggest that the SAPA SUAMI program effectively enhanced husband awareness regarding their supportive role in maternal health care, contributing to community empowerment for improved antenatal care access and advancing SDG 3 and SDG 5 targets in a primary health care setting. Multi-site replication with behavioral outcomes and delayed follow-up is recommended.

Multimodal Interactive Pedagogy for Early Caries Detection: A Short-Term Assessment of Health Literacy in Transitional Dentition
type: item
description: Dental caries is a pervasive non-communicable disease, affecting approximately 80% of children in Indonesia. Children in the transitional dentition phase (aged 7–8 years) frequently lack awareness regarding oral health. Traditional educational models often fail to instill long-term behavioral changes. This study aims to evaluate the short-term impact of an interactive multimodal educational intervention grounded in the Health Belief Model on the early caries detection knowledge of 7-8-year-old schoolchildren in an urban middle-income setting. A quantitative pre-experimental, one-group pre-test and post-test design was utilized. A convenience sample of 57 grade 2 students from SD IT Cendikia Andalas participated. The intervention deployed tactile dental models, posters, and animated videos. The curriculum detailed anatomical function, caries etiology, early visual detection, and preventive strategies. Knowledge was measured using a validated 5-item questionnaire focusing on pathophysiology and visual cueing. Descriptive statistics included Medians and Interquartile Ranges (IQR). Hypothesis testing utilized the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The cohort demonstrated a statistically significant short-term increase in knowledge. The pre-test Median score was 4.0 (IQR: 3.0–4.0), which increased post-intervention to a Median of 5.0 (IQR: 4.0–5.0) (p < 0.001). Both female (p < 0.001) and male (p < 0.001) subgroups showed significant improvements. Identification of white spot lesions improved from 35.1% to 87.7%. In conclusion, multimodal education is associated with a significant short-term increase in early caries detection knowledge among young schoolchildren. Integrating such interactive modules into longitudinal curricula alongside parental involvement is recommended for sustained public health impact.

Empowering Educators, Supporting Students: A Quasi-Experimental Evaluation of a Train-the-Trainer Model for School Mental Health in Indonesia
type: item
description: Adolescent mental health is a pressing concern in urban Indonesian schools, where a significant gap exists between student needs and the availability of professional support. This study evaluated the efficacy of a culturally-adapted, school-based "Train-the-Trainer" (TtT) community service model designed to build sustainable mental health support capacity by empowering teachers. A quasi-experimental study with a matched control group was conducted in 20 public high schools in South Sumatera, Indonesia. Ten schools (n=150 teachers, n=1500 students) received the TtT intervention, where core teachers were trained to cascade mental health literacy and foundational support skills to their peers. Ten matched schools (n=145 teachers, n=1450 students) served as a control group. Data on teacher self-efficacy, student-reported support awareness, and school mental health policies were collected at baseline, 6-months, and 12-months. A linear mixed-effects model revealed a significant time-by-group interaction, with teachers in the intervention group reporting substantially higher confidence in supporting students at 12 months (M=4.15, 95% CI [4.01, 4.29]) compared to the control group (M=2.51, 95% CI [2.37, 2.65]), a large effect (d=2.41). Intervention students were significantly more likely to know how to access support (78% vs. 27%; OR=9.82, 95% CI [8.11, 11.89], p < 0.001). Intervention schools demonstrated a massive increase in formalized mental health protocols compared to control schools (IRR=7.94, p < 0.001). In conclusion, the TtT model is a highly effective and scalable strategy for building a foundational mental health support system within existing school structures in resource-constrained settings. By investing in local educators, this model fosters a sustainable, multi-tiered support ecosystem, offering a viable pathway for national policy and practice in Indonesia.

Cultural Congruence in Mental Health Promotion: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial on Integrating Javanese Local Wisdom (Kearifan Lokal) to Enhance Resilience and Reduce Stigma
type: item
description: Mental health disparities persist in rural Indonesia, exacerbated by a lack of culturally appropriate interventions and high levels of stigma. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel psychoeducation program integrated with Javanese local wisdom (kearifan lokal) in improving psychological resilience and reducing mental health-related stigma. We conducted a two-arm, parallel-group, cluster-randomized controlled trial in 12 rural villages (desa) in the province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Villages were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=6 villages, 312 participants) or a wait-list control group (n=6 villages, 308 participants). The intervention, "Program Laras Jiwo" (Harmonious Soul Program), was a facilitator-led, 8-session group program co-designed with community members. It integrated standard psychoeducation with Javanese cultural principles such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), tepo seliro (empathy), and narrative elements from wayang (shadow puppetry). The control group received general health information. Primary outcomes were resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) and stigma (Depression Stigma Scale). Secondary outcomes included mental health literacy, help-seeking attitudes, and psychological distress. Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 6-month follow-up. Linear mixed-effects models were used for analysis. At the 6-month follow-up, the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in resilience scores (Mean Difference [MD]: 15.8, 95% CI: 13.2 to 18.4; p < 0.001) and a significantly greater reduction in public stigma scores (MD: -8.5, 95% CI: -10.1 to -6.9; p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Significant positive effects were also observed for all secondary outcomes, including mental health literacy, help-seeking attitudes, and reduced psychological distress (p < 0.001 for all). In conclusion, integrating Javanese kearifan lokal into a community-based psych…

Forging Digital Pathways to Prosperity: A Mixed-Methods Inquiry into Digital Literacy, Community Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Development Goal Attainment in Rural Indonesia
type: item
description: The proliferation of digital technology presents a monumental opportunity for economic development, yet its benefits remain unevenly distributed, particularly in the rural regions of developing nations like Indonesia. This study investigates the critical role of digital literacy as a catalyst for community entrepreneurship, and its subsequent impact on achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty) and Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed across three diverse rural regencies in Indonesia. The initial quantitative phase involved a multi-stage cluster survey of 525 rural entrepreneurs, with data analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test hypothesized relationships. The subsequent qualitative phase comprised 30 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs and community leaders, selected purposively from the quantitative sample. Interview data were analyzed using rigorous thematic analysis to explain and enrich the statistical findings. The PLS-SEM analysis revealed that digital literacy has a significant, positive direct effect on both entrepreneurial intention (b=0.451, p<0.001) and entrepreneurial performance (b=0.382, p<0.001). Entrepreneurial performance, in turn, was a strong predictor of progress toward SDG 1 (b=0.523, p<0.001) and SDG 8 (b=0.610, p<0.001). Qualitative findings identified three core mechanisms facilitating these relationships: (1) the use of digital platforms as a gateway to expanded markets, (2) the vital role of informal, peer-to-peer social networks in digital skill acquisition, and (3) the translation of individual entrepreneurial success into community-wide economic benefits through local job creation and value chain development. In conclusion, digital literacy is a foundational capability that directly empowers rural entrepreneurs, driving local economic performance and accelerating progress toward key SDGs. These findi…

title: Bridging the Digital Divide: A Mixed-Methods Evaluation of the Efficacy, Accessibility, and Impact of Web-Based Mental Health First Aid Training for Community Health Volunteers (Kader) in Rural Indonesia
description: Significant disparities in mental health service access persist in rural Indonesia, where community health volunteers (known as Kader) represent a vital but undertrained resource. Digital training platforms offer a scalable solution to build mental health literacy, yet their efficacy and accessibility in low-resource, digitally diverse settings remain under-evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, accessibility, and user experience of a novel, web-based Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training program for Kader in rural Indonesia. We employed a convergent parallel mixed-methods design with a single-group, pre-test/post-test framework. A total of 165 Kader from 15 rural districts across North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and South Sumatra provinces were recruited. Participants completed a 4-week, self-paced, web-based MHFA course. Quantitative data were collected using the Mental Health Knowledge Questionnaire (MHKQ), the Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI) scale, and the System Usability Scale (SUS) at baseline and post-intervention. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured focus group discussions (FGDs) with a purposive subsample of 32 participants to explore user experience and perceived impact. The intervention yielded a highly significant improvement in mental health knowledge, with mean MHKQ scores increasing from 48.5 (SD=10.2) at pre-test to 89.7 (SD=8.8) at post-test (t(164) = -35.1, p < 0.001). Stigmatizing attitudes significantly decreased, as reflected by an increase in mean CAMI scores from 55.3 (SD=12.5) to 81.4 (SD=11.9) (t(164) = -18.9, p < 0.001). The platform's usability was rated favorably, with a mean SUS score of 81.2 (SD=13.4), indicating excellent user-friendliness. Qualitative analysis revealed three primary themes: (1) Digital Empowerment and Overcoming Barriers; (2) Cultural Resonance and Practical Skill Acquisition; and (3) The Emergence of a Supported Community of Practice. In conclusion, web-based MHFA t…

Integrating Kearifan Lokal (Local Wisdom) with Climate Adaptation Strategies: A Participatory Action Research on Enhancing Community Resilience and Achieving SDG 13 in Indonesia's Coastal Communities
type: item
description: Coastal communities in Indonesia face existential threats from climate change. Conventional top-down adaptation strategies often fail due to a disconnect from local socio-ecological realities, overlooking a critical resource: traditional ecological knowledge, or kearifan lokal. This study investigates a knowledge co-production model that synergizes kearifan lokal with modern climate science to build community resilience. We employed a 24-month, mixed-methods Participatory Action Research (PAR) design in three highly exposed coastal villages in North Java, Indonesia. Ethical protocols, including Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), were foundational. Qualitative data were gathered from in-depth interviews (n=30), focus groups (n=12), and ethnographic observation. Quantitative data came from a pre-test/post-test household survey (n=450) measuring a validated, multi-dimensional Community Resilience Index (CRI). Interventions were co-designed, blending traditional practices like the pranata mangsa (ethno-astronomical calendar) and the wana tirta (mangrove philosophy) with scientific recommendations. A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze changes in CRI scores. The co-designed strategies led to a statistically significant increase in the mean CRI from a baseline of 2.8 (SD=0.65) to 4.2 (SD=0.48) post-intervention (p<0.001). Significant improvements were observed across all resilience dimensions, most notably in Economic Capital (+59.1%) and Adaptive Capacity & Governance (+51.7%). The revitalization of practices such as the restoration of 50 hectares of mangroves, guided by both wana tirta principles and scientific species selection, enhanced coastal protection and local livelihoods. In conclusion, the co-production of knowledge, facilitated through a PAR framework, is a potent mechanism for building effective, culturally embedded, and sustainable climate resilience. This model empowers communities as active agents in their adaptation journey and offers a …

Beyond Tenure: A Quasi-Experimental Causal Analysis of Community Forest Management on Peatland Biodiversity, Carbon Stocks, and Management Efficacy in Sumatra
type: item
description: Indonesia's Hutan Desa (HD, Village Forest) program is a cornerstone of global social forestry, yet its causal ecological impacts remain contested. Rigorous, counterfactual-based evidence is urgently needed to validate this policy intervention, particularly in globally critical peat-swamp landscapes. This study employed a quasi-experimental design, using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to construct a statistically balanced sample of 40 HD (treatment) and 40 non-HD (control) village units in Sumatran peatlands. We analyzed data from 400 1-hectare permanent sample plots (5 plots nested per village). We assessed floral diversity (Shannon-Wiener Index, H'), faunal presence, and ecosystem carbon stocks (Above-Ground, AGB; Soil Organic Carbon, SOC). Causal impacts were quantified using Linear Mixed-Effects Models (LMMs) to account for the nested data structure. We further analyzed the "treatment effect" by modeling dose-response relationships for permit duration and management intensity. After matching, LMMs revealed that HD management has a significant positive causal effect on all ecological outcomes. Floral diversity was significantly higher in HD plots (H' = 2.92) versus control plots (H' = 2.18; F(1, 78) = 48.21, p < 0.001). Total ecosystem carbon stocks (AGB + SOC in top 100cm) were 36% higher in HD units (255.1 Mg C ha⁻¹) compared to controls (187.3 Mg C ha⁻¹; F(1, 78) = 53.09, p < 0.001). This was driven by a significant preservation of SOC. Dose-response models further showed that ecological benefits (such as AGB) accumulate significantly with increased permit duration and that higher management intensity is a strong predictor of biodiversity. In conclusion, our findings provide robust, hierarchical evidence that HD management is an effective conservation and climate mitigation strategy. By establishing tenure, enabling active stewardship, and, crucially, protecting peatland hydrology, the HD model delivers verifiable, causal improvements to biodiversity and carb…

Enhancing 'First 1,000 Days' Nutrition Literacy via a Posyandu Kader 'Train-the-Trainer' Model: A Mixed-Methods Impact Evaluation on Child Nutritional Status in Eastern Indonesia
type: item
description: The 'First 1,000 Days' (HPK) period is critical for preventing stunting, a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in Eastern provinces. Posyandu kader (community health volunteers) are pivotal, but their effectiveness is often hampered by inadequate and unstandardized training. This study evaluates the impact of a structured 'Train-the-Trainer' (ToT) model on kader nutrition literacy and, subsequently, on child nutritional status. We conducted a quasi-experimental, convergent parallel mixed-methods study in two districts of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, Indonesia. The intervention district (n=50 kader, n=312 mother-child dyads) received the ToT intervention, while the control district (n=50 kader, n=309 mother-child dyads) continued standard practices. The ToT model involved training Puskesmas (health center) staff as 'Master Trainers' who then cascaded structured training and mentorship to kader over 12 months. Quantitative data (kader literacy scores, child anthropometry [Height-for-Age Z-score, HAZ]) were collected at baseline and 12-month follow-up, analyzed using Difference-in-Differences (DiD) and linear mixed-effects models (LMM). Qualitative data (n=24 in-depth interviews, n=6 focus group discussions) explored the intervention's mechanisms, fidelity, and contextual facilitators. At 12 months, kader nutrition literacy in the intervention group increased significantly (mean score change: +29.8 points) compared to the control group (+2.1 points, p < 0.001). The LMM analysis, controlling for covariates, showed a significant 'time × group' interaction effect on child HAZ (β = 0.28, 95% CI [0.15, 0.41], p < 0.001), indicating a meaningful improvement in child growth attributable to the intervention. Stunting prevalence (HAZ < -2 SD) in the intervention group decreased by 8.7 percentage points, while it remained stagnant in the control group. Qualitative themes revealed that the ToT model enhanced kader self-efficacy, shifted their role…

Harnessing the Digital Revolution for Agricultural Succession: A Multi-Site Mixed-Method Study of the 'Petani Muda Keren' (PMK) Community Network and Youth Engagement in Indonesian Food
type: item
description: Indonesia faces a critical agricultural succession crisis, with an aging farmer population threatening the nation's long-term food security (SDG 2). Digital agrifood systems (DAS) are posited as a solution to attract youth, but adoption is uneven, and the socio-structural mechanisms facilitating this transition are poorly understood. This study investigates the role of the 'Petani Muda Keren' (PMK - Cool Young Farmers) community network, a rapidly growing grassroots movement, in bridging this gap. We employed a multi-site (West Java, Yogyakarta, West Sumatra) sequential explanatory mixed-method design. First, a quantitative survey (N=300) was conducted with PMK members (n=150) and a matched control group of non-member young farmers (n=150). We used descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression to analyze differences in digital adoption, productivity, and income. Second, qualitative data from 30 in-depth interviews and 6 focus group discussions with PMK leaders, members, village officials, and Ministry of Agriculture representatives were analyzed using thematic analysis to explain the quantitative findings. PMK members demonstrated significantly (p<0.001) higher adoption scores for digital technologies (such as e-commerce, farm management apps, and IoT sensors). On average, PMK members reported 34.5% higher monthly incomes and 22.8% greater farm productivity compared to non-members. The OLS regression model, controlling for education, farm size, and access to credit, confirmed that PMK membership (β=0.282, p<0.01) is a significant positive predictor of farmer income, distinct from the independent, positive effect of the digital adoption score (β=0.347, p<0.001). Qualitative analysis revealed three core mechanisms: (1) peer-to-peer mentorship de-risking technology adoption, (2) collective action for market access via network-branded e-commerce, and (3) the socio-psychological construction of a modern, 'cool' professional farm…

Envisioning Prosperity: A Structural Model of Community-Based Transformational Leadership and Local Governance on Poverty Reduction (SDG 1) and Decent Work (SDG 8) in Indonesian Tourism Villages
type: item
description: Tourism Villages (Desa Wisata) are pivotal to Indonesia's rural development strategy, yet their success in achieving sustainable and inclusive growth is highly variable. The mechanisms through which local leadership translates into tangible development outcomes remain empirically underexplored. This study develops and tests a structural equation model (SEM) to examine the serial pathway from Community-Based Transformational Leadership (C-TL) to Local Governance (LG) quality, and subsequently, its impact on Poverty Reduction (SDG 1) and Decent Work (SDG 8). A cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted. Data (N=500) were collected from community members (tourism awareness groups, village officials, SME owners) across 50 tourism villages in five major Indonesian provinces using a multi-stage cluster sampling technique. The proposed model, specifying LG as a mediator between C-TL and the SDG outcomes, was tested using covariance-based SEM. The measurement model confirmed the reliability and validity of the four latent constructs. The structural model demonstrated an excellent fit to the data (CMIN/DF = 2.74, CFI = 0.958, RMSEA = 0.051). Results indicated that C-TL has a robust, significant positive effect on LG (β = 0.78, p < 0.001). In turn, LG strongly and positively influenced both Poverty Reduction (β = 0.52, p < 0.001) and Decent Work (β = 0.47, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis confirmed that LG fully mediates the relationship between C-TL and Poverty Reduction and partially mediates the relationship between C-TL and Decent Work. In conclusion, Local Governance is the primary mechanism through which the vision of transformational leaders is converted into equitable development outcomes in Indonesian tourism villages. A leader's good intentions are insufficient for poverty reduction without the parallel development of transparent, accountable, and effective governance structures.

Beyond the Green Revolution: A 10-Year Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Analysis of Balinese Subak Socio-Ecological Governance and its Alignment with SDG 2 and SDG 6
type: item
description: The global challenges of food insecurity (SDG 2) and water scarcity (SDG 6) require proven, sustainable governance models. Socio-ecological systems (SES) rooted in local wisdom (kearifan lokal) offer resilient alternatives. The Balinese Subak, a UNESCO World Heritage site guided by the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, is a pre-eminent example. This research employed a 10-year (2015-2025) longitudinal, mixed-methods, comparative case study of two Subak systems in Bali. We collected a comprehensive dataset including 1,200 systematic water sampling events (yielding 7,200 analytical data points for pH, TSS, BOD, COD, NO3-N, PO4-P) and a 10-year rolling panel survey (n=2,000 completed survey-years) to assess agricultural and governance metrics. Qualitative data (n=60 interviews, n=24 meeting observations) were thematically analyzed. Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Models (GLMMs) revealed a statistically significant time-dependent reduction in pollution, including Nitrate (β = -0.21 mg/L/year, p < .001) and BOD (β = -0.15 mg/L/year, p < .001), across both sites. This trend was strongly associated with a validated Social Governance Index (SGI). Critically, rice yields remained stable at a high-productivity average (6.2 t/ha), while chemical pesticide use declined by 48% (p < .001). Qualitative analysis identified the core mechanisms: (1) Tri Hita Karana as an internalized moral framework, (2) ritual calendars as coordination mechanisms, and (3) awig-awig as an adaptive governance system. In conclusion, the Subak system demonstrates a proven, sophisticated, and data-driven framework that operationalizes kearifan lokal to achieve the non-trade-off, simultaneous goals of sustainable agriculture (SDG 2) and clean water (SDG 6). These findings provide robust evidence that such systems are not relics but essential, adaptive governance models for global sustainability.

Socialization of the Potential of Acupressure in Reducing Anxiety in the Elderly in Hobong Village, Jayapura Regency, Indonesia
type: item
