Abstract

Asthma is characterized by reversible swelling or narrowing of the airways. Low adherence can negatively affect the effectiveness of therapy, increasing asthma morbidity and mortality. The long-term goal of asthma treatment is to achieve and maintain controlled asthma, but this goal is still challenging for most patients. This study examines the relationship between medication adherence and asthma control in patients. This study is observational, with a cross-sectional approach conducted on 40 asthma patients who received treatment at a Public Health Center. Patient medication adherence was measured by Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) method, and the level of control was measured by the Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire. The results showed that most patients based on sociodemographic characteristics were female (80.0%), elderly group ≥60 years (45.0%), high school education (55.0%), and housewives (45.0%). The category of medication adherence was divided into 47.5% adherent patients and 52.5% non-adherent patients. The level of patient control was divided into fully controlled (2.50%), partly controlled (35.0%), and uncontrolled (62.5%). There was a significant relationship between adherence and asthma control (r=0.508; p<0.05). Therefore, improving patient medication adherence can potentially improve asthma control levels.

Abstract

Kondisi preeklampsia dapat berkembang menjadi eklampsia yang beresiko meningkatkan angka kematian bagi ibu dan janin. Obat antihipertensi dapat digunakan untuk pengobatan preeklampsia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan obat antihipertensi terhadap nilai tekanan darah dan proteinuria pasien didiagnosis preeklampsia berat. Metode yang digunakan adalah retrospektif cross-sectional. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui rekam medis dari Januari sampai Desember 2021. Data disajikan dalam 76 pasien memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 19 pasien (23%) menggunakan monoterapi antihipertensi metildopa atau nifedipin, 30 pasien (39,47%) menggunakan kombinasi metildopa dan nifedipin, dan empat pasien (5,26%) menggunakan kombinasi metildopa, nifedipin dan furosemide. Rata-rata penurunan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik (TDS/TDD) paling besar yaitu 85,25 mmHg dan 29,5 mmHg. Sedangkan rata-rata penurunan nilai proteinuria paling besar yaitu 2. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut diketahui bahwa terdapat pengaruh signifikan penggunaan obat antihipertensi terhadap TDS (p=0,000), TDD (p=0,000), dan nilai proteinuria (p=0,002). Penurunan nilai tekanan darah dan proteinuria lebih efektif terjadi pada terapi kombinasi dibandingkan dengan monoterapi.

Abstract

Optimal nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting the growth and development processes of children. One abundant and easily accessible source of nutrition is milk. The protein and calcium content in milk support bone formation, brain development, and various bodily functions. This community service activity aims to provide education to elementary school students about the benefits of milk as a nutritional source and to enhance milk consumption habits. Education is conducted through face-to-face interactions using lecture and discussion methods. The material is presented through PowerPoint presentations, videos, and the distribution of leaflets to the participants. To assess the success of the educational activities, pretests and posttests are conducted on the participants. The results of the educational activities show an increase in the average posttest scores compared to the pretest scores regarding the benefits of drinking milk. This indicates that the educational activities have successfully improved the participants' understanding of the importance of including milk in a healthy diet.

Abstract

The use of over-the-counter (OTC) and pharmacy-only medicines has significantly increased due to their easy accessibility and the growing trend of self-medication. However, improper use of these medicines can lead to adverse effects, drug interactions, and even resistance. This community service activity aimed to raise public awareness about the rational and safe use of medicines, particularly OTC and pharmacy-only medicines. The activity was conducted using participatory education methods, including the delivery of material on drug classifications, simulation of reading drug labels and understanding usage instructions, as well as interactive sessions such as Q&A and consultations with pharmacists. The evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants’ knowledge before and after the educational session. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge regarding the identification of drug types, label reading, and proper usage instructions. Additionally, participants demonstrated increased awareness of the risks associated with improper medication use and the importance of consulting pharmacists before taking OTC or pharmacy-only medicines. This activity highlights the essential role of pharmacists in public health education and emphasizes the need for structured, interactive educational strategies to promote responsible self-medication practices. Collaboration between healthcare professionals and the community is key to ensuring the safe and appropriate use of non-prescription medicines

Abstract

The availability of medicine is one of the factors that can be employed to assess the quality of community health centers and determine customer satisfaction. Pharmacists require a strong foundation in drug management knowledge to ensure the medicine availability. Proficient drug management can enhance the rational use of medications, promote rational prescription practices, and improve drug utilization efficiency. This research aims to ascertain the pharmacist's knowledge level and the availability of medicine while also exploring any potential correlations between pharmacist knowledge and medicine availability. This research adopts a non-experimental study design with cross-sectional data collection. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling techniques, employing a questionnaire to assess pharmacist knowledge levels, as well as Drug Usage Reports and Drug Request Sheets (LPLPO) to evaluate the availability of medicine levels. Data analysis involved the Chi-Square test and Spearman Rank test. The study results indicated that the majority of pharmacists possessed a high level of knowledge (73.7%), while most community health centers have a moderate level of medicine availability (73.7%). The Spearman Rank test revealed no significant correlation between pharmacist knowledge levels and the availability of medicine.

Abstract

The knowledge and understanding of the community about antibiotic usage are crucial to avoid inaccuracies in drug utilization. Negative impacts that can arise include the occurrence of resistance and the reduction in antibiotic effectiveness. Students with non-health related educational backgrounds are among the parts of the community that have a limited grasp of issues related to antibiotic usage. The aim of this research is to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of non-health related major students towards antibiotic usage. This study utilized a cross-sectional method with validated questionnaires. Inclusion criteria for this research were non-health undergraduate students at Andalas University who were willing to complete the questionnaire comprehensively. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 26. The research findings indicate that non-health related major students at Andalas University possess moderate knowledge (54.7%) while their attitudes tend to be positive (71.1%) towards antibiotic usage. A significant correlation between students' knowledge and attitudes towards antibiotic usage was found, with a p-value 0.05. There was no significant correlation found between students' sociodemographic characteristics (faculty, age, gender, presence of family members working in the healthcare field) and their knowledge level. However, concerning attitudes, factors that influence include gender and the presence of family members working in the healthcare field.

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is a condition where a person defecates with a soft or liquid stool consistency or even just water which can be accompanied by blood or foam with a frequency that is more frequent than usual in a day. Self-medication is an action taken by someone to treat themselves by recognizing the symptoms and illnesses felt, usually minor illnesses, then choosing drugs according to their wishes without going through a doctor's prescription. Methods: A descriptive study with cross-sectional approach to determine the recommended choice of diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication from pharmacies in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through proportional random sampling using the Slovin formula. From a total of 247 pharmacies in Padang City, data was collected from 38 pharmacies that had been proportioned in 11 sub-districts in Padang City. Participants in this study were pharmacists on duty at the pharmacy. Data were collected through structured interviews recorded by pharmacists in pharmacies with a single question, what drug do you give for self-medication to adult patients with mild diarrhea without symptoms of infection. Results: Drug recommendations from pharmacist in Padang City pharmacies are attapulgite, kaolin-pectin, activated carbon, loperamide, Oral Re-hydration Formula (ORS), zinc supplements, probiotics, and antacids. The drug recommendations given are in the form of single therapy and combination therapy. Assessment of recommendations that are said to be appropriate refers to the recommendations of Dipiro (2020), namely the provision of a single absorbent or absorbent plus ORS. The results of appropriate recommendations were obtained at 44.74% and those that were not appropriate were obtained at 55.26%. There is no statistically significant evidence to suggest a relationship between the education level of pharmacist and appropriate of the answer (p>0.05). Conclusion: There are still many mistakes made by pharmacists in recommending diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication in pharmacies.
