Abstract

Teenager reproductive health is a health problem that concerns the nation's next generation, with high vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). About 1 million transmissions of STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and trichomoniasis occur every day worldwide, and the majority are asymptomatic. Every year, it is estimated 374 million cases are predominantly of reproductive age. This program is based on the trend increasing of promiscuous sexual relations among junior high school teenagers which results in early pregnancy and transmission of STIs. This program has purpose to increase the knowledge of junior high school students and teachers regarding sexually transmitted infections and reproductive health as well as preventing free sex. Counseling regarding reproductive health and sexually transmitted infections is carried out at SMPN 2 and SMPN 6 in Mataram. Extension activities include providing outreach materials, interactive question and answer sessions, Instagram competitions on related topics. The mean post-test score of participants was significantly higher than the pre-test (p <0.05). The scores of SMPN 6 students were found to have a significant increase in the mean during the post-test compared to the pre-test (p <0.05). There was a change in the knowledge of SMPN 2 and SMPN 6 Mataram students regarding reproductive health and STIs after the counseling

Abstract

Indonesia has the third highest maternal mortality rate in ASEAN. The Maternal Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) program was established to reduce the high maternal mortality rate. However, the effectiveness of maternal audit implementation still faces many obstacles. This study aims to describe the obstacles faced by the MPDSR team in assessing maternal mortality in Lombok Island. We used qualitative study with case study design through in-depth interviews with nine informants from two MPDSR program holders at the Health Offices and one Maternal Perinatal Death Notification (MPDN) coordinator at the West Nusa Tenggara Health Office in 2022. Data were analyzed using the thematic analysis approach. Triangulation were done by method triangulation, triangulation between researchers, triangulation of data sources, and theoretical triangulation. The results showed that the problems faced by the MPDSR team, including ineffective of MPDSR socialization, budget limitations of MPDSR activities, feature issues in the MPDN, the ratio between labor and workload was less than ideal, incomplete and delayed collection of maternal mortality data, lack of communication between MPDSR teams, health workers have not been trained in the data entry process, labor outside of medical supervision, no monitoring of maternal mortality cases in wards other than obgyn, health workers did not understand the ICD-10 code, the assessment was still conducted in a hybrid, not all maternal death cases were assessed, blaming culture, and suboptimal monitoring of the sustainability of MPDSR recommendation. Therefore, it was necessary to establish discussion to find strategies and solutions based on a priority scale.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic gram-negative bacterium and is often the most common cause in people with immunocompromised problems. Infections by this bacterium, especially in patients with impaired immunity, are difficult to treat due to a number of antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The polyphenol compound Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) contained in Camellia sinensis L. is known to have antibacterial activity against several bacteria so that it has the potential as an antibiotic to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To obtain this compound, extraction with the right method is needed. In addition, the EGCG was dominant extracted at the ethyl acetate fraction. This study aims to analyze the effect of extraction methods on EGCG content and antibacterial activity (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) of ethyl acetate fractions of green tea leaves (EAFGL). The research design is an experimental laboratory using a true experimental posttest only control group design. Green tea leaf powder was extracted with 96% ethanol using the sonication and maceration methods, then fractionated evenly with n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate solvents. The EGCG content of EAFGL was determined using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Antibacterial activity of EAFGL at the concentration 12.5; 50; 100; and 200 mg/mL were carried out using the disc diffusion method. Positive and negative control groups used Aztreonam and 10% DMSO, respectively. The antibacterial activity of EAFGL was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that EAFGL extracted using maceration revealed significantly higher EGCG content (170,97 ±17,51 µg EGCG/mg fraction). The EAFGL at a concentration of 200 mg/mL, obtained through maceration, exhibited the significantly (p<0.05) highest antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa with the inhibition zone of 16.7 mm. Therefore, maceration is an appropriate method for extracting green tea leaves, as it can produce optimal EGCG content and antibacterial activity.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was a major global health threat driven by irrational antibiotic use, including unnecessary prescribing, inappropriate dosage or duration, and use without proper indication. Community pharmacies served as accessible points of care and played an important role in antibiotic distribution, making them strategic settings for evaluating utilization patterns. This study aimed to describe antibiotic utilization in a community pharmacy using the AWaRe classification and to assess the proportion of Access antibiotics relative to World Health Organisation targets. A retrospective observational study was conducted using prescription data from January to June 2025, with purposive sampling and descriptive analysis. A total of 11,565 antibiotic items were recorded. Cefixime (Watch group) was the most frequently used antibiotic (38.2%), followed by amoxicillin (Access group) at 20.9%. The proportion of Access antibiotics was 45.78%, which was below the recommended minimum target of 60%. These findings indicated that antibiotic use was dominated by Watch-group agents, suggesting an imbalance in prescribing patterns and a potential risk for increasing AMR.
