Tuberculosis is one of the most challenging public health issues at the moment, with the number of cases being treated and reported in Indonesia still falling short of the national objective for 2021. In the last four years, the success rate for tuberculosis treatment in Kupang City has not been optimal. One of the reasons people fail to take medication is because they have been taking it for a long time, which allows for non-compliance. Non-adherence in taking medication can lead to treatment failure, re-treatment or drug resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between social determinants and health literacy with medication adherence for tuberculosis patients in Kupang City. This study is a cross-sectional quantitative study that was carried out on tuberculosis patients receiving care at a medical facility in Kupang City. Data were collected by filling out online questionnaires (self-administered survey) on 126 tuberculosis patients who were undergoing treatment at 11 health centers in Kupang City. Simple logistic regression and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data. According to the study's findings, 23.8 percent of tuberculosis patients did not take their tuberculosis medications. Health literacy variables (p=0.008) and respondent age (p=0.029) with p-value 0.05 were shown to be significantly related to tuberculosis patients' medication adherence. After adjusting for age, education, and income, health literacy emerged as the most influential variable in affecting medication adherence in tuberculosis patients. The significance of integrated collaboration among multiple associated entities to undertake tuberculosis education through various media can improve public health literacy and adherence to tuberculosis medications.
The prevalence of mental disorders among young adults in Indonesia has increased, indicating the importance of improving mental health literacy among them. This study aimed to determine the social determinants and mental health literacy among first year undergraduate students of Universitas Hasanuddin, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data for this study came from the Indonesia Health Literacy Study 2019, a cross-sectional online survey of undergraduate students from four public universities in four provinces of Indonesia. Mental health literacy was measured using the Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) which had been adapted into Indonesia context. The results showed that respondents had relatively low mental health literacy (M=59,60 on a scale of 0-100). Bivariate analysis showed that gender, relationship status, and scientific clusters were associated with MHLS. Multivariate analysis showed that mental health literacy was lower among male students, students who refused to reveal their ethnic identities, and students of science-tech cluster. Interventions through mental health education and mental health call center are recommended to improve mental health literacy, especially among these undergraduate students of Universitas Hasanuddin.
