The rapid rise of short-form social media platforms, particularly TikTok, among adolescents has raised concerns regarding excessive use and potential behavioral addiction that may negatively affect mental health and academic functioning. This community engagement program aimed to screen the risk of TikTok addiction among secondary school students in West Jakarta and provide education on healthy digital practices. The program was conducted at one private school in Jelambar, involving 306 students aged 11–18 years. Screening was performed using the TikTok Addiction Scale (TTAS) followed by digital literacy education. A Plan–Do–Check–Action (PDCA) framework was applied to ensure systematic implementation. The mean TTAS score was 39.97 ± 14.24 (range 20–84), indicating diverse levels of TikTok engagement. Female students demonstrated higher scores and wider distribution, suggesting greater vulnerability to excessive social media use. Digital hygiene and screen-time management education enhanced students’ awareness regarding social media addiction risks and appropriate preventive strategies. This program demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of TTAS-based screening for early identification of TikTok addiction risk. It highlighted the importance of integrating digital health promotion into school-based mental health programs to support adolescent well-being.

The program was conducted over two days using a participatory and hands-on approach involving students from Universitas Tamansiswa in Padang. The training methods included conceptual lectures, live demonstrations, and practical sessions covering Mendeley installation, reference management, automatic citation, and bibliography generation. The results indicate improvements in participants’ understanding and skills in reference management, as well as increased awareness of academic integrity. Overall, the training proved effective in enhancing efficiency and writing quality in the preparation of theses or final projects.

Ibnu Sina Yarsi Islamic Hospital Padang Panjang plays a crucial role in providing medical services to the community. However, challenges such as inadequate facilities, limited service space, and insufficient healthcare personnel have led to long queue times and schedule mismatches, adversely affecting patient satisfaction. This study analyzes strategies to improve service quality at the hospital using a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving management, medical staff, and patients. Data validity was ensured by triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that strategies focusing on human resource development programs, performance-based budget management, and consistent application of standard operating procedures (SOP) have been implemented effectively. Despite this, limitations in human resources, budget, and physical infrastructure hinder optimal results. Strengthening internal capacity and resource optimization are necessary to achieve sustainable improvements in service quality.

This study aims to examine the relationship between occupational nutrition and employee productivity through a systematic literature review. The background of this research lies in the increasing attention to workplace health and the growing evidence that nutritional status can influence physical performance, cognitive function, and work outcomes.

Drug abuse in Indonesia is a form of social deviance influenced by psychological pressure, structural conditions, and weak social ties. This phenomenon is not only related to legal aspects but also arises as a response to stress, anxiety, and negative emotional experiences. Theories such as self-medication, escapism, Durkheim and Merton's Anomie, and Agnew's General Strain Theory suggest that drug abuse behavior can develop due to imbalanced norms, social tension, and an individual's inability to cope with life's pressures. In inmates, these factors are exacerbated by challenging social and economic experiences prior to their incarceration, increasing the risk of involvement in drug use and trafficking. This study emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach to understanding this deviance and supporting rehabilitation and social reintegration efforts. Strengthening the roles of families, communities, and educational institutions in preventing drug abuse is crucial for providing ongoing support. A deeper understanding of the patterns of individual involvement in drug abuse is key to designing more effective prevention programs, based on psychological, social, and structural approaches to reduce the long-term impact of drug abuse on society.

Equal access to health services is a fundamental right of citizens. However, vulnerable groups such as beggars are often neglected because they do not have valid residence documents. The Medan City Government launched the Medan Berkah Health Insurance Program (JKMB) to support universal Health Coverage, allowing free health services only with a Medan ID card. This study aims to assess the implementation of JKMB on beggars in Medan City by using the implementation suitability model from David C. Korten, which emphasizes the relationship between programs, organizations, and beneficiaries. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Informants consisted of beggars without identity who had been disciplined by Social Services, program Implementation officers, and academics in the field of social welfare. The results showed that JKMB can only be accessed by beggars while under the supervision of Social Services, through temporary identities such as "Mr. X". After being repatriated (reunification), access to health services cannot be continued due to the absence of An ID. The Program has not been able to reach marginalized groups on an ongoing basis, and there has been no integration of cross-sector data systems. The findings expose the discrepancy between program design and Target conditions, highlighting the importance of more inclusive policy reformulation, facilitation of identity ownership, and inter-agency coordination to create equitable and sustainable health access for all citizens
