Abstract

Low public awareness of routine health monitoring and knowledge of proper medication use remains a significant problem, leading to increased adverse drug reactions and a decline in health status. Furthermore, a lack of health literacy and high self-medication practices also increase the risk of inappropriate medication use. To address this need, this activity combines health screening and medication education as an integrative approach to improving public health awareness and drug literacy. This study used a quasi-experimental one-group pre-posttest design and was conducted on 24 October 2025, at SDN 07 Ganting, East Padang Panjang, involving 34 participants. Activities included blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid screenings; medical consultations; and medication education and counseling. The majority of participants were women (80%), with a dominant age range of 41–59 years (50%). Mean blood pressure was 129.1 ± 25.0/86.26 ± 13.60 mmHg, glucose 132.41 ± 74.5 mg/dL, cholesterol 214.7 ± 33.8 mg/dL, and uric acid 5.6 ± 1.8 mg/dL, indicating the presence of risk factors requiring monitoring. Knowledge levels were in the good category at both pre-test (90%) and post-test (93.3%), with no significant difference (p = 0.541). This activity contributed to strengthening drug literacy through direct education linked to screening findings, enabling participants to understand their personal health risks. This integrated screening-education approach shows potential as a more effective community intervention model in increasing public knowledge and awareness of health and the safe use of drugs.

Abstract

Introduction: Antihypertensive drugs require high costs because they are used over a long period. Therefore, consideration is needed in drug selection requirements, effectiveness, and price. This study aimed to see the beneficial results of hypertension therapy and the non-medical costs incurred by patients using cost-utility analysis (CUA). Method: This research was a prospective study. The incremental Cost-Utility Ratio (ICUR) of antihypertensive treatment was calculated using cost-utility data obtained through EQ-5D-5L questionnaires from outpatients at Universitas Andalas Hospital in January- March 2023 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The costs used were from a patient perspective, consisting of direct medical and non-medical costs. This study compared standard treatment (amlodipine) with the addition of candesartan. Results: The number of respondents in this study was 67, consisting of 23 respondents (34.33%) using amlodipine alone and 44 respondents (65.67%) using the amlodipine-candesartan combination. The ICUR value obtained was IDR7,318,674/QALY. The difference in the average utility value of the amlodipine-candesartan combination with amlodipine alone is -0.02, and the difference in cost is -IDR12,224. Based on the cost-utility diagram, the amlodipine-candesartan combination group is included in the southwest quadrant (quadrant III), which illustrates that the cost required for the amlodipine-candesartan combination group is lower than the cost of the amlodipine single treatment group and the outcome is also not better (slightly lower or the same). Conclusion: It was recommended to prioritize using amlodipine alone for hypertension management, as it provides similar outcomes to the amlodipine-candesartan combination while incurring lower costs.

Abstract

One of the efforts to break the chain of transmission of Covid-19 is to maintain cleanliness using an antiseptic to wash hands and body parts, as well as disinfectants that are sprayed or rubbed on various inanimate objects that may be exposed to the virus. However, there are still many people who are mistaken about using antiseptics and disinfectants, such as using antiseptics to clean items and the phenomenon of massive spraying of disinfectants in various places, even directly on humans. Apart from that, the lack of skills in making simple disinfectant fluids independently is also one of the triggering factors for the low level of concern in protecting the surrounding environment. The purpose of this activity is to educate the public about the correct use of antiseptics and disinfectants and to be able to utilize carbolic acid and liquid bleach to become simple disinfectants. This activity was carried out in Balai Baru Village, Kuranji District, Padang City. The method used in this activity is the presentation of the principles of the proper use of disinfectants and antiseptics as well as direct demonstrations of making simple disinfectants. The results of the activity are increased public understanding of the proper use of disinfectants and antiseptics as well as increased community skills in utilizing carbolic acid and clothing bleach into simple disinfectants. This activity is expected to be a reference in making simple disinfectants that are economical, environmentally friendly, and can be made by anyone. It is hoped that the chain of transmission of Covid-19 can be minimized.

Abstract

Herbal plants such as ginger, lemongrass, galangal, and turmeric are commonly grown by residents in their home gardens. These plants have great potential to be processed into traditional beverages. One method of processing is by turning them into herbal or spice drinks. Herbal drinks made from Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) not only contain active ingredients beneficial to health but also serve as an eco-friendly and economical alternative treatment. This initiative aims to optimize the utilization of TOGA in the community by providing practical training on how to produce and package herbal drinks to enhance their market value, as well as to increase entrepreneurial knowledge among mothers in Kelurahan Rawang. The program adopts a participatory approach, where the community is not merely passive recipients of information but actively involved in the hands-on practice of making herbal drinks. This initiative has successfully enhanced the community’s knowledge and skills in utilizing TOGA to produce healthy and natural herbal drinks. In addition to its health benefits, the activity has also created opportunities for the community to develop small businesses based on local spices. Through this program, it is hoped that the community can become more self-reliant in maintaining family health while also developing the economic potential of TOGA

Abstract

Family Medicinal Plants (Tanaman Obat Keluarga/TOGA) have considerable potential to support promotive and preventive family health. However, limited community knowledge regarding their benefits, proper utilization, and safety often hinders optimal use at the household level. This community service activity aimed to provide education on the utilization of TOGA to support family health. A community-based educational program with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted in Rawang Subdistrict on 17 August 2024, involving 30 participants. Educational sessions were delivered through interactive lectures and discussions covering the benefits, methods of use, and safety aspects of TOGA. Participants’ knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the intervention, and data were analyzed descriptively. The pre-test results indicated moderate to low baseline knowledge. Following the intervention, participants’ knowledge improved significantly, with mean scores increasing from 56.3% to 82.1% (an increase of 25.8 percentage points). The greatest improvements were observed in understanding preparation methods and safety considerations. These findings demonstrate that TOGA-based education effectively enhances community knowledge in supporting promotive and preventive family health. Integrating such educational programs into community health initiatives is essential to strengthen family-level health promotion and disease prevention.

Abstract

Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric condition that requires long-term pharmacotherapy to control symptoms and prevent relapse. Mood stabilisers play a central role in its management; however, inappropriate use may reduce treatment effectiveness and increase the risk of adverse outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of mood stabiliser use among outpatients with bipolar disorder at a psychiatric hospital in Padang City. This retrospective descriptive study used medical record data from January to December 2023. A total of 28 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included, with 220 outpatient visits analysed. Data collected included sociodemographic characteristics, clinical conditions, and medication use. The appropriateness of therapy was assessed based on four criteria: indication, patient suitability, drug selection, and dosage, using established pharmacotherapy guidelines as the reference standard. The results showed that most patients were female (78.57%) and aged 18–59 years (75%). The evaluation of drug use demonstrated that the appropriateness of indication, patient suitability, and drug selection each reached 83.18%. However, dosage appropriateness was considerably lower at 54.55%, indicating that nearly half of the prescriptions involved suboptimal dosing. While most aspects of mood stabiliser use were generally appropriate, dosing remains a critical issue that may affect treatment effectiveness and patient safety. These findings highlight the importance of improving adherence to clinical guidelines and conducting regular evaluations of pharmacotherapy to optimise outcomes in patients with bipolar disorder.

Abstract

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disorder resulting in the destruction of pancreatic β-cells, leading to absolute insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. Insulin remains the cornerstone of therapy; however, its use may be complicated by drug interactions that alter treatment effectiveness through pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and mechanisms of potential insulin drug interactions in patients with T1DM. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using a total sampling method. The study was conducted at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. The study population consisted of all hospitalized patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) during the period 2019–2022. Patient characteristics, patterns of insulin therapy, and the occurrence of drug interactions were analyzed. The majority of patients were female (70%), and most were in the 0–18-year age group (83%). Insulin therapy was prescribed in 86.6% of cases. Potential drug–drug interactions were identified in 33.3% of hospitalized patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, predominantly pharmacodynamic in nature. The basal–bolus insulin regimen constituted the most frequently prescribed therapeutic option among the patients. The Spearman correlation analysis indicated a statistically insignificant association between the metric of polypharmacy and the incidence of drug interactions. Systematic monitoring remains essential, and larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Severe preeclampsia is a major obstetric complication associated with maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Hospitalization duration may influence clinical outcomes, including blood pressure and proteinuria, particularly in patients receiving antihypertensive therapy with nifedipine or methyldopa. This study aims to evaluate the association between the length of hospital stay and changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as proteinuria, in patients with severe preeclampsia treated with nifedipine or methyldopa. This retrospective study reviewed medical records of patients diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and admitted to Dr. M. Djamil Central General Hospital, Padang, between January and December 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups based on hospitalization duration: <5 days and ≥5 days. All patients received monotherapy with either nifedipine or methyldopa. Data on patient demographics, clinical parameters, and hospitalization length were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using the independent t-test and the Mann–Whitney test, with a significance level of p<0.05. Of 60 patients included, 44 (73.3%) were hospitalized for ≥5 days, while 16 (26.7%) stayed <5 days. Patients with ≥5 days of hospitalization experienced a significantly greater reduction in systolic blood pressure (40.93 mmHg vs. 29.00 mmHg, p=0.025) and proteinuria (23.06 vs 33.20, p=0.031) compared to the <5-day group. No significant difference was observed in diastolic blood pressure reduction (p=0.128).
