Abstract

Abstrak Untuk menjadi seorang apoteker, setiap mahasiswa program studi profesi Apoteker harus melewati Ujian Kompetensi Apoteker Indonesia (UKAI) CBT dan UKAI OSCE Nasional. Dengan standar nilai kelulusan yang tinggi, hal ini dapat menyebabkan kecemasan dan depresi pada mahasiswa apoteker Indonesia. Selain itu, menjadi seorang mahasiswa memiliki berbagai kewajiban akademik. Kewajiban akademik yang harus dikerjakan mahasiswa cenderung membuat mahasiswa merasakan kecemasan atau bahkan menjadikan depresi. Pemahaman mahasiswa terkait self-healing, bahaya depresi yang dapat menghambat kesuksesan lolos UKAI masih terbatas. Program pengabdian masyarakat dengan sistem edukasi langsung dan pelatihan dapat menjadi sarana peningkatan pemahaman mahasiswa. Kegiatan pengabdian dilakukan dengan metode penyuluhan dan demo pelatihan self-healing dengan bantuan media video.

With a high passing standard, this can lead to anxiety and depression among Indonesian pharmacy students. Additionally, being a student comes with various academic obligations. These academic demands often cause students to experience anxiety or even depression. Students’ understanding of self-healing and the dangers of depression that may hinder success in passing the UKAI is still limited. A community service program with direct education and training can serve as a means to improve student understanding. The service activity was carried out using counseling methods and self-healing training demonstrations with the help of video media. The increase in the percentage of correct answers from the pre-test (59.70%) to the post-test (84.40%) indicates that the information was well received by pharmacy students. Keywords : pharmacists; student; depression; UKAI; pharmacy.

Abstract

This study examined the associations of knowledge level, perception, and religiosity with halal cosmetics use among working women in Semarang City. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, involving 111 respondents selected via snowball sampling. Data collected through a structured online questionnaire were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results showed that knowledge (β = 0.070), perception (β = 0.077), and religiosity (β = 0.034) significantly and positively influenced halal cosmetics use (all p < 0.05), with perception emerging as the strongest predictor. The model explained a substantial proportion of variance (R^2 = 0.469). Respondents with positive perceptions were more likely to use halal-certified cosmetics consistently, indicating that usage is driven not only by religious values and knowledge but also by practical factors like accessibility, quality, safety, and consumer confidence. Although the cross-sectional design and non-probability sampling may limit generalizability, these findings offer valuable insights. Future studies should involve larger, more geographically diverse populations and explore additional marketing variables. Ultimately, these insights can guide cosmetic manufacturers, certification authorities, and policymakers in developing targeted educational strategies, transparent communication, and consumer-oriented promotional approaches within Indonesia’s competitive urban halal personal care market.
