Abstract

Utilization of bioavailability according to World Health Organization (WHO) records is very large, it is estimated that almost 80% of mankind, especially in developing countries, still use plants as medicinal ingredients to maintain their health (Nugraheni, 2007). Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) which belongs to the Rutaceae tribe which is one of the plants known to the Batak community, is classified as a wild plant and is a typical plant of Province North Sumatra. The method used in this research is experimental research. The research included collecting and processing andaliman fruit, making simplicia, making ethanol extracts, and examining antioxidant activity tests using the DPPH free radical scavenging method (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil) and antibacterial activity using the minimum inhibitory concentration method. The results of the antibacterial activity test of the ethanolic extract of andaliman fruit showed that the extract had antibacterial activity in the moderate category at a concentration of 300 mg/ml with an inhibition zone of 10.17 mm for Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and a moderate category for Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria with an inhibition zone of 10.80 mm. The ethanol extract of andaliman fruit can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, effective at a concentration of 300 mg/ml with inhibitory diameters of 10.17 mm and 10.80 mm, respectively.

Abstract

Virgin Coconut Oil(VCO) is virgin coconut oil that is made enzymatically. The content of saturated fatty acids and flavonoid compounds in VCO can be used as an anti-inflammatory drug. This study aims to determine the activity of VCO as an anti-inflammatory. Anti-inflammatory activity was tested using the method of calculating the percentage of inflammation inhibition in white rat paws induced by intraplantar 1% carrageenan solution. The decrease in edema in the rat's feet was measured using a plethysmometer for 360 minutes. The results showed that VCO at a dose of 0.4 ml/200 g BW and 0.8 ml/200 g BW gave anti-inflammatory activity with the percentage of inflammation inhibition of 64.34 ± 9.90 and 52.66 ± 8, respectively. 94. The anti-inflammatory activity of VCO at a dose of 0.4 ml/ 200 g BW and a dose of 0.

Abstract

Introduction: The increasing elderly population in Indonesia presents significant challenges in managing degenerative diseases, particularly in primary health care facilities with limited resources. This study aims to explore the role of health workers in managing degenerative diseases in the elderly at the Negeri Lama Community Health Center. Methods: This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven informants (elderly cluster officers, non-communicable disease program holders, doctors, pharmacists, and nutritionists), observation, and documentation. Data analysis used thematic analysis with source triangulation, method triangulation, member check, and audit trail to ensure data validity. Results: Health workers performed curative roles through integrated medical services including comprehensive examinations, diagnosis, medication provision (amlodipine, metformin, glimepiride, simvastatin, allopurinol), pharmaceutical and nutritional counseling, and referral systems. Preventive roles were implemented through routine health screenings using E-pus and P-care applications, counseling on healthy lifestyles, education on balanced nutrition, and lifestyle modifications. Challenges included complex disease complications (multimorbidity), unpredictable drug shortages from the District Health Office, limited diagnostic facilities, declining memory and cognitive function in the elderly, low health literacy, irregular visits, unstable internet networks, poor road conditions, flooding, geographical distance, and economic constraints. Communication patterns applied were patient-centered with specific adjustments for the elderly including louder volume, slower speech, simple language, and family involvement in the education process. Interprofessional collaboration involved medical records staff, elderly cluster officers, pharmacists, and nutritionists working according to standard operating procedures. Discussion: The findings align with previous research emphasizing comprehensive geriatric assessment, the effectiveness of pharmacist counseling in improving medication adherence, the importance of family support in chronic disease management, and the impact of geographical and economic barriers on healthcare access. The study highlights the need for integrated approaches addressing both clinical and social determinants of health in elderly care. Conclusion: Health workers at the Negeri Lama Community Health Center have implemented comprehensive curative and preventive roles despite various challenges. Improvements are needed in logistics management systems, development of educational media, strengthening interprofessional collaboration, innovation in education methods, and family and community support to optimize health services for the elderly with degenerative diseases.
