The potential of ingestible sensors combined with family involvement interventions for medication supervision in Tuberculosis patients: A literature review
Get PDFBackground: Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease that remains the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases globally. A major challenge in eliminating TB, despite it being preventable and curable, is the low adherence to treatment. This literature review aims to provide insights into the potential of ingestible sensors combined with family involvement interventions for medication supervision in TB patients, ensuring that medications are actually swallowed and addressing a key limitation of the previous DOT method. Methods: This study used a literature review method with the keywords "family engagement intervention", "digestible sensor", and "tuberculosis [MeSH]" to search databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, ResearchGate, and NCBI. Inclusion criteria included in vitro and in vivo experimental studies, cohort studies, comparative analysis studies, and reviews published in the last 10 years. Exclusion criteria included incomplete studies, inaccessible papers, and non-English/Indonesian texts. After applying these criteria, 35 journals and 1 book were selected for review and analysis. Findings: Ingestible sensors have shown over 80% effectiveness in monitoring medication adherence by providing real-time data for precise treatment adjustments. When combined with family involvement, these interventions address psychosocial barriers like stigma and lack of support, further improving adherence. This synergy significantly reduces non-compliance, prevents drug resistance, and enhances treatment outcomes for TB patients. Conclusion: Ingestible sensors combined with family involvement offer a more effective approach to TB treatment by ensuring medication is swallowed and providing psychosocial support, reducing risks of transmission, relapse, and drug resistance. However, equitable access and adequate infrastructure, supported by government and societal cooperation, are crucial for the successful implementation of this system globally.

The social security for female workers in Indonesia: A gender equality perspective
Get PDFBackground: The number of women workers in Indonesia has increased steadily from 2020 to 2024. Women have reproductive roles and are entitled to rights in the workplace, including maternity leave, miscarriage leave, menstrual leave, and breastfeeding breaks. However, these rights are sometimes not provided according to Indonesian Law Number 13 of 2003 on Manpower. Maternity rights are crucial for women’s well-being and should be granted in line with applicable laws. Methods: The research method used in this journal is a literature review in the form of case studies. Seven case journals in Indonesia were used as the primary references for this study. The research was conducted without comparing the main reference journals. Findings: The study found that women workers, both formal and informal, are employed across various sectors in Indonesia. Social protection guarantees for women, such as social insurance and employer obligations, exist but are not consistently implemented. Some companies cooperate with BPJS Employment, while others provide maternity, miscarriage, menstrual leave, and breastfeeding breaks. However, the lack of proper supervision by the government and labor unions has led to insufficient implementation of these protections, hindering the improvement of women’s welfare. Conclusion: Social protection for women workers must be fulfilled by employers to ensure that women workers can still exercise their reproductive rights. Providing social protection in accordance with applicable regulations for women workers can enhance the social welfare of women workers. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study offers a unique perspective on the challenges in implementing social protection for women workers in Indonesia, highlighting gaps in supervision and enforcement, as well as the importance of fulfilling reproductive rights to improve women’s well-being
