AIM, FOCUS, AND SCOPE

1. Provide a high-quality outlet for basic, applied, and policy research in land-force military health.
2. Bridge research findings with operational implementation and policy-making within the Indonesian Army.
3. Foster integration of the Army health system with the national health system.
4. Promote evidence-based decision-making for practitioners, academics, and defence-health policymakers.

Scope

JIAMHS welcomes original articles, reviews, short reports, and case reports grouped into three research streams:

Basic Research

• Battlefield immunology & combat physiology
• Biomedical adaptation to extreme environments (jungle, mountain, swamp, shallow sea)
• Soldier stress mechanisms, psychological trauma & mental health

Applied Research

• Evaluation of military medical evacuation & health-logistics systems
• Wearable/IoT technologies for real-time health monitoring on operations
• Nutrition, fitness, vaccination & disease-prevention interventions in army units

Policy Research

• Studies on integrating Army and national health-care services
• Strategies to strengthen military health systems in disaster response
• Governance reform of Army hospitals, field clinics & health facilities

Focus

1. Present new data on land-based medical-evacuation modelling in remote/eastern Indonesian areas.
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of wearable/IoT devices for early detection of dehydration, hypothermia, or combat fatigue.
3. Formulate policy frameworks for integrating Army health services into the national BPJS referral scheme following the latest Health Law.
4. Report locally adapted nutrition & fitness interventions that sustain personnel readiness at border posts and operational theatres.
5. Analyse soldier mental-health outcomes after peace-keeping or disaster-relief missions, including screening tools and peer-support models.
