Abstract

Candles can serve a dual purpose of not only providing light but also acting as a means of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy, which involves the use of essential oils, such as calamansi peel (Citrus x microcarpa Bunge), is an alternative form of treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of essential oil, evaluate the characteristics of aromatherapy candles, and assess their appeal. The pre-experimental technique employed a one-time case study/post-test design, with soy wax used as the candle's wax base. The preference test for aromatherapy candles involved 30 untrained individuals. The candles exhibited a uniform color, with no cracks, defects, fractures, or air bubbles. The candle with a 3% formulation demonstrated the longest burning time and quickest melting point. Furthermore, candles containing 3% essential oil were preferred both before and during burning. Additionally, this formulation displayed the fragrance promptly, with the quickest perceived effect time.

Abstract

Antibiotic misuse, especially in rural communities, poses a significant public health challenge, particularly regarding awareness of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of Cefadroxil and community awareness of antibiotic resistance in Selindung, Pangkalpinang. A descriptive observational study employed a structured questionnaire to assess the understanding of Cefadroxil's proper use and potential risks among 108 participants. Results indicated that 48.15% of participants possessed sufficient knowledge, while 30.56% displayed poor understanding. Following educational interventions, awareness about antibiotic resistance markedly increased. The findings highlight the necessity for ongoing health education initiatives to promote responsible antibiotic use and mitigate the risks associated with misuse. This community service approach not only addresses the immediate knowledge gaps but also fosters a culture of informed healthcare practices.
