Abstract

Infectious diseases are still a serious problem in developing countries. Infectious diseases can be treated with antibacterial use. If the irrational use of antibacterials will lead to antibiotic resistance. Nutmeg is a plant that has antibacterial potential. The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibition of the ethanol extract of the nutmeg pulp. The concentrations of the ethanol extract used were 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using the disc diffusion method. The test results showed that all concentrations of ethanol extract had the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% with each inhibition zone for Staphylococcus aureus being 31.4 mm; 36.8 mm; 38.9 mm; 39.1 mm; 43.9 mm, meanwhile Escherichia coli bacteria have an inhibition zone of 14.3 mm; 19.8 mm; 28.9 mm; 32.1 mm; 36.9 mm.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Infeksi Saluran Kemih (ISK) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan yang berpotensi berkembang menjadi mortalitas jika tidak dicegah dan ditangani sejak dini. Infeksi Saluran Kemih (ISK) adalah kondisi klinis yang terjadi pada saluran kemih akibat terdapatnya bakteri patogen yang masuk dan berkembangbiak di dalam saluran kemih, umumnya berasal dari rektum. Infeksi Saluran Kemih (ISK) lebih banyak terjadi pada wanita disebabkan karena anatomi saluran kemih perempuan memiliki uretra yang lebih pendek, dan ditemukan banyak remaja menderita ISK akibat kurangnya menjaga kebersihan area genitalia.  Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui risiko ISK pada remaja putri di SMA LKMD Laha melalui skrining pemeriksaan urine sebagai upaya preventif ISK. Metode yang digunakan pada kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah pemeriksaan sampel urine, pengisian kuesioner, wawancara dan diakhiri dengan Tanya jawab pada remaja putri SMA LKMD Laha. Dari kegiatan ini diperoleh 24 (85,7%) remaja putri mengalami leukosituria dan 28 (100%) remaja putri terdapat nitrit di dalam urine. Selain itu, juga ditemukan beberapa gejala ISK pada remaja putri seperti sakit saat buang air kecil (BAK), volume urine yang keluar sedikit saat BAK, dan sakit di area genitalia saat BAK. Selain itu juga ditemukan faktor risiko ISK pada remaja putri seperti seringnya menahan BAK, kurangnya konsumsi air mineral per hari (< 8 gelas), dan membersihkan area genitalia dari belakang ke depan setelah buang air besar (BAB). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa upaya yang dapat dilakukan dalam mencegah risiko ISK pada remaja putri melalui pemeriksaan urine sebagai uji skrining. Selain itu, juga dapat disimpulkan bahwa seluruh remaja putri di SMA LKMD Laha memiliki gejala dan risiko ISK. Kata Kunci: Infeksi Saluran Kemih, Urine, Remaja Putri  ABSTRACT Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the health problems that could potentially develop into mortality if not prevented and dealt with early. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a clinical condition that occurs in the urinary tract due to the presence of pathogenic bacteria that enter and proliferate in the bladder, generally from the rectum. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is more common in women because the anatomy of the female bladder has shorter ureters, and many adolescents suffer from UTI due to a lack of hygiene in the genital area. This dedication to the community aims to identify the risk of UTI in teenage daughters at SMA LKMD Laha through screening urine examination as a preventive effort. The methods used in dedication to this community were urine samples, questionnaire filling, interviews, and questions answered to the teenage daughter of SMA LKMD Laha. From this activity, 24 (85.7%) of the teenage daughters had leukocyturia and 28 (100%) had nitrites in the urine. In addition, some of the symptoms were found in teenage daughters, such as pain during urination, a small amount of urine coming out when urinating, and pain in the genital area during urination. Additionally, risk factors were found in teenage girls, such as frequent urination retention, a lack of mineral water intake per day (<8 glasses), and cleansing of the genital area from the back to the front after defecation. Based on the results, it can be concluded that efforts can be made to prevent the risk of UTI in teenage girls through urinalysis as a screening test. In addition, it can also be concluded that all the teenage daughters at SMA LKMD Laha have symptoms and are at risk of UTI.  Keywords: Urinary Tract Infection, Urine, Teenage Daughters

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is transmitted mainly through saliva or secretions from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. One way to prevent the broader spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is by vaccination. The study aimed to determine factors related to community participation in the COVID-19 vaccination program in Batu Merah State, Ambon City, in 2021. This study was an analytical study using primary data with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of residents of Batu Merah State, Ambon City, aged 18 years, totaling 204 people who were taken using the cluster random sampling technique. 59 respondents (28.9%) had received the first dose of vaccination, and as many as 42 respondents (20.6%) had received the first and second doses of vaccination. Meanwhile, as many as 103 respondents (50.5%) have not been vaccinated. The role of the environment is mainly found in the supportive category, which is 136 respondents (66.7%), the most motivation is in the medium category, which is 125 respondents (61.3%), the most economical level is in the lower middle category as many as 117 respondents ( 57.4%), the highest confidence was in the medium category, which was 110 respondents (53.9%), and the most convenience was in the relatively easy category, which was 163 respondents (79.9%). There is a relationship between the role of the environment, motivation, economic level, confidence, and convenience with community participation in the COVID-19 vaccination program in Batu Merah State, Ambon City, in 2021. Suggestion to Batu Merah people who have not been vaccinated to come to the nearest health center.

Abstract

Highlights:1. Clove, cinnamon, and eucalyptus have found to be able to providing antibacterial agents for urinary tract infection (UTI).2. Ethanol extracts derived from clove leaves, cinnamon bark, and eucalyptus leaves can inhibit pathogenic bacteria responsible for UTI, indicating their potential as sources of bioactive compounds for UTI medication development.   Abstract Medicinal plants possess antimicrobial properties that have been believed to be efficacious for treating various diseases. However, antimicrobial-based medicinal plants remain an untapped source of potential pharmaceuticals. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial properties of ethanolic extracts derived from several medicinal plants endemic to Maluku, Indonesia, specifically regarding their antibacterial activity against isolates of pathogenic bacteria found in the urine samples of urinary tract infection (UTI) patients. This was a true experimental research with a posttest-only control group design. The medicinal plant extraction was conducted using the maceration method. The pathogens were isolated using the dilution method. Following the pathogen isolation, the isolates were identified according to the colony morphology, Gram staining, and biochemical test results. The antibacterial activity was determined through the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test. The results indicated that five selected isolates (i.e., 0A1, 0A2, 0A3, 0A4, and 0A5) had a round shape with flat edges. Isolates 0A2 and 0A4 exhibited a solid white color, whereas isolates 0A1 and 0A3 displayed an off-white color, and isolate 0A5 showed a yellow color. Isolates 0A1, 0A2, and 0A4 were Gram-positive bacteria, while isolates 0A3 and 0A5 demonstrated Gram-negative characteristics. The biochemical testing revealed that the five selected isolates were identified as Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus faecium, and Escherichia coli. The ethanol extracts of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) leaves, cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii) bark, and eucalyptus (Melaleuca leucadendra) leaves demonstrated the ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria responsible for UTI. Clove leaf ethanol extract exhibited the highest average clear zone compared to the other two ethanol extracts. This study concluded that medicinal plants from Maluku, Indonesia, the clove, cinnamon, and eucalyptus, have antibacterial potential that may be effective in treating UTI. Further investigation is necessary to fully comprehend the mechanisms of action, detection, and description of bioactive compounds, particularly against human pathogens.

Abstract

Indonesia masih termasuk dalam kategori negara yang sedang berkembang. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia di Indonesia. Upaya ini harus dimulai dari setiap keluarga, terutama dari aspek kesehatan anak. Berdasarkan survei pendahuluan, dapat diuraikan masalah yang dihadapi kelompok mitra adalah kurangnya pengetahuan para siswa/i serta guru-guru mengenai peran prebiotik dan probiotik. Hal ini terjadi karena sebagian besar siswa/i belum memahami secara benar peranan mikroorganisme bagi kehidupan. Secara khusus, keterbatasan pengetahuan tentang prebiotik dan probiotik disebabkan karena kurangnya penerapan hasil-hasil riset yang berdampak langsung pada masyarakat termasuk dalam bidang mikrobiologi. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan informasi, serta memberi masukan dan pemahaman melalui suatu diskusi yang intensif secara ilmiah tentang peran prebiotik dan probiotik untuk kesehatan. Penyampaian materi edukasi dilakukan dengan metode ceramah, disampaikan dengan menggunakan slide power point yang menarik dan menggunakan bahasa sederhana yang mudah dipahami peserta kegiatan.
