Abstract

The flood disaster that struck the Tanjung Pura area of ​​Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, had a significant impact on the social, economic, health, and psychological well-being of the community. Limited access to basic necessities, decreased nutritional quality, and the emergence of psychological trauma, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and pregnant women, are key issues requiring rapid and integrated response. This community service activity aims to provide a disaster response through a Three-Pillar Action approach: Rapid Logistics, Appropriate Nutrition, and Trauma Services. The implementation method was participatory, encompassing preparation and coordination with local partners, core activities such as the distribution of logistical assistance and nutritious food, and trauma healing services. The program concluded with monitoring and evaluation. The aid distributed included basic food packages, hygiene kits, clothing, and psychosocial support for the affected community. Results from the activity indicate that this program was able to meet the community's basic needs quickly and effectively, improve nutritional intake, especially for vulnerable groups, and help reduce stress and trauma caused by the disaster. Thus, the Three Pillars Action approach has proven effective as a holistic and sustainable disaster response model in supporting the physical and psychological recovery of affected communities. ABSTRAK Bencana banjir yang melanda wilayah Tanjung Pura, Kabupaten Langkat, Sumatera Utara, menimbulkan dampak signifikan terhadap kehidupan sosial, ekonomi, kesehatan, dan kondisi psikologis masyarakat. Terbatasnya akses terhadap kebutuhan dasar, menurunnya kualitas asupan gizi, serta munculnya trauma psikologis, khususnya pada kelompok rentan seperti anak-anak, lansia, dan ibu hamil, menjadi permasalahan utama yang memerlukan penanganan cepat dan terintegrasi. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan respons tanggap bencana melalui pendekatan Aksi Tiga Pilar, yaitu Logistik Cepat, Gizi Tepat, dan Pemberian Layanan Trauma. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan secara partisipatif melalui tahapan persiapan dan koordinasi dengan mitra setempat, pelaksanaan kegiatan inti berupa distribusi bantuan logistik dan pangan bergizi, serta layanan trauma healing, dan diakhiri dengan monitoring serta evaluasi kegiatan. Produk bantuan yang disalurkan meliputi paket sembako, perlengkapan kebersihan, kebutuhan sandang, serta dukungan psikososial bagi masyarakat terdampak. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa program ini mampu memenuhi kebutuhan dasar masyarakat secara cepat dan tepat sasaran, meningkatkan pemenuhan gizi terutama bagi kelompok rentan, serta membantu mengurangi tingkat stres dan trauma akibat bencana. Dengan demikian, pendekatan Aksi Tiga Pilar terbukti efektif sebagai model penanganan tanggap bencana yang holistik dan berkelanjutan dalam mendukung pemulihan fisik dan psikologis masyarakat terdampak.

Abstract

Acne is a skin condition affecting adolescents and young adults, characterized by an imbalance in the skin microbiome, excessive sebum production, and the accumulation of keratin, triggered by the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, a significant pathogenic factor. Acne can be treated with antibiotics, but long-term antibiotic use can have side effects if used incorrectly. Raru wood has pharmacological potential due to its content of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. Raru bark extract was developed into a gel dosage form to optimize its treatment effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to determine the gel formulation and antibacterial effectiveness of raru bark extract in the gel preparation. The research method was experimental, involving the formulation and evaluation of the gel, as well as testing its antibacterial activity using the disc method at a concentration of 3%, negative controls, and positive controls.

Abstract

Background: The low success of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy at Dr. Djasamen Saragih Regional Hospital is reflected in the small number of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) who achieve viral load suppression. This problem is strongly suspected to be related to the low level of medication adherence. Objective: To analyze the effect of support from health workers and Peer Support Groups (PSGs) on ARV adherence at Dr. Djasamen Saragih Regional Hospital.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The study population was all PLHIV, totaling 229 people, with a sample size of 71 people taken through a purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed bivariate and multivariate to determine the relationship between variables and the odds ratio of patient adherence.Results: Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between support from health workers (p=0.000) and peer support (p=0.001) on ARV adherence. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that support from healthcare workers was the dominant factor, where PLHIV who received such support had a 7.830 times greater chance of adherence than those who did not receive support. In addition, peer support increased the chance of adherence by 4.729 times for patients.Conclusion: External support, both from medical personnel and the peer social environment, significantly determined the adherence behavior of PLHIV in undergoing therapy. The management of Dr. Djasamen Saragih Regional General Hospital is advised to improve the communication competency of healthcare workers and strengthen strategic collaboration with peer communities in Pematangsiantar City to optimize patient therapy outcomes.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from insulin deficiency or resistance. Streptozotocin, a potent diabetogenic agent, is commonly employed to induce experimental diabetes by selectively damaging pancreatic beta cells, resulting in insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. Elevated Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, indicative of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, are closely linked to diabetic complications. This study aimed to investigate the association between MDA levels and blood glucose in Streptozotocin-induced rat diabetes, shedding light on potential therapeutic strategies. Spectrophotometric analysis was utilized to quantify MDA levels in rat tissues, providing insights into the extent of oxidative damage. The results revealed a significant correlation between MDA levels and blood glucose, highlighting the role of oxidative stress in diabetic pathogenesis. These findings underscore the importance of targeting oxidative stress in diabetes management to prevent complications. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the relevance of monitoring MDA levels as a biomarker for assessing oxidative stress in diabetic conditions and guiding therapeutic interventions.

Abstract

Background: Measuring random or fasting blood glucose levels does not fully reflect the quality of long-term blood glucose control. Therefore, more accurate monitoring of glycemic status in patients with diabetes mellitus is performed through the HbA1c test. This test is used as an indicator of successful diabetes mellitus control and to minimize the risk of cardiovascular complications and improve patients' quality of life. Purpose: To determine the relationship between HbA1c levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values ​​in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients based on hypertension status at the Bunda Thamrin Medical Laboratory, Medan. Method: A quantitative approach was employed with a descriptive correlational analytical design. The population was 70 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with a sample size of 70 obtained through a specific sampling method. Data on HbA1c levels and ESR values ​​were analyzed to determine their relationship to the patients' hypertension status. Results: No significant differences in HbA1c levels (p=0.746) or ESR values ​​(p=0.259) were found between the hypertensive and normotensive patient groups. However, a clinically significant trend was found in ESR values, with the hypertensive group having a higher proportion of normal ESR values ​​(p=0.066). Conclusion: No significant differences were found between HbA1c levels and ESR values ​​based on hypertension status. Nevertheless, HbA1c has the potential to be an indirect predictor of inflammatory status. Optimal glycemic control remains crucial to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications through anti-inflammatory mechanisms, especially in patients with hypertension who require more comprehensive management.
