Abstract

Smoking is one of the biggest threats to public health in the world, so pharmacists should have a role in a multidisciplinary team to provide pharmaceutical care in smoking cessation in pharmacy. The research purpose was to determine the level of knowledge and experience of pharmacist pharmacy services on smoking cessation programs at pharmacists in East Surabaya. This research was mixed-method research, using the explanatory sequential design strategy. Data collection was carried out from October 2021 to January 2022 in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The research variable were knowledge and experience related to pharmaceutical care in smoking cessation. The sample were pharmacists who carried out clinical pharmacy services at pharmacies in East Surabaya. Respondents were interviewed in depth until the data reached the saturation level (saturation so that no new answers/explanations are found) in order to obtain good and usable qualitative data. This study involved 40 respondents. Most of the respondents had sufficient knowledge level (57.50%). Many participants attended seminars on smoking cessation (55%), but none of the respondents had experience in pharmaceutical services. Some respondents have experience in giving advice on smoking cessation to patients during drug delivery at pharmacies (62.50%). Most of the respondents knew dangers of smoking and its relation to health, but most of them cannot explain the theoretical mechanism of the disease pathophysiologically. Pharmacists in pharmacies had sufficient knowledge about smoking cessation, but the practice of pharmaceutical services was still lacking. This could be due to the need to improve information regarding smoking cessation regulations for health workers. Keywords:          experience, knowledge, pharmacist, smoking scessation

Abstract

Indonesia rich in biodiversity, both animals and plants. This is known as ethnobotany. Local people learn to use natural herbs to meet their daily needs, and some commonly used herbs are Piper betle (betel leaf) and Allium cepa (red onion). They often use P. betle or A. cepa to cure various skin infections, one of which is furuncles. This study aimed to explore ethanol extracts of P. betle, A. cepa, and their combination against Staphylococcus aureus, the main bacterial cause of furuncles, using petri dish. The inhibition zones in petri dishes were measured using a caliper to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy. Each sample was tested with 3 replicates and kanamycin was used as positive control. The P. betle extract exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect with an inhibition zone of 17.70 ± 0.30 mm, followed by P. betle and A. cepa with ratio 1:1 produced an inhibition zone of 15.63 ± 0.58 mm. The ethanol extract of A. cepa showed the lowest inhibition zone only 14.38 ± 0.35 mm and this inhibition zone was similar to that of kanamycin as positive control.
