Abstract

Irrational antibiotic use and inappropriate prescribing in pneumonia remain major public health concerns, as they contribute significantly to the development of antimicrobial resistance worldwide. This study aimed to describe the pattern of antibiotic prescribing for pneumonia patients under five years old treated at Waled Hospital, Cirebon Regency, in 2023. A descriptive study design was employed using medical record data, with total sampling applied to all eligible cases. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and presented as frequencies and percentages. A total of 193 pediatric pneumonia cases were included, consisting of both inpatients and outpatients. Lobular pneumonia was the most common diagnosis in both groups. The majority of patients were one year of age. Third-generation cephalosporins were the most frequently prescribed antibiotic class for inpatients (62.3%) and outpatients (89.1%). Parenteral antibiotic formulations were predominantly administered to inpatients, whereas oral antibiotics were used for all outpatients. The duration of antibiotic therapy was appropriate in all cases. Adverse drug reactions were observed in a small proportion of inpatients and were not reported among outpatients. The predominant use of third-generation cephalosporins, particularly in outpatient settings, suggests a potential overreliance on broad-spectrum antibiotics and may reflect deviation from standard first-line treatment recommendations for pediatric pneumonia. These findings highlight the need for regular evaluation of prescribing practices and the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs to promote rational antibiotic use and reduce the risk of resistance.

Abstract

Gedong Gincu Mango peel (Mangifera indica L.) contains a variety of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and terpenoids. These compounds play a crucial role in self-defence and exhibit significant pharmacological activity, particularly as antibacterial agents. The purpose of this study is to identify the content of secondary metabolite compounds of each fraction based on its polarity properties, and to determine the inhibitory power of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25293 bacteria. This study is experimental research with a post-test only control group. This study used 2 control groups and 12 treatment groups consisting of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions with concentrations of 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50% respectively and repeated 3 times. The antibacterial test was carried out by the well diffusion method, which was repeated 3 times on the MHA medium, and the inhibition zone was measured. The study showed that the n-hexane fraction contained alkaloids, steroids, and saponins, while the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions contained flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, triterpenoids, and phenolics. A 50% concentration produced the greatest inhibition zone in all fractions, with mean values of 8.05 mm (moderate) for n-hexane, 15.41 mm (strong) for ethyl acetate, and 12.16 mm (strong) for butanol. The 50% ethyl acetate fraction was the most effective in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing condition that requires long-term therapy. Therefore, treatment success greatly depends on the patient’s adherence to therapy in order to prevent recurrence and improve quality of life. To assess the correlation between treatment adherence, skin lesion severity, and quality of life in patients with atopic dermatitis at Waled Regional General Hospital, Cirebon Regency. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. Participants were patients aged 17–65 years who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a treatment adherence questionnaire, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the SCORAD index to assess lesion severity. Spearman’s rank correlation test was used to analyze the relationships between variables. A significant negative correlation was found between treatment adherence and lesion severity p 0,000 r = -0,580, as well as between adherence and quality of life p 0,000 r = -0,793. Treatment adherence is significantly associated with reduced lesion severity and improved quality of life in patients with atopic dermatitis. Educational interventions and continuous adherence monitoring are essential in the management of this chronic condition. Keywords: Atopic Dermatitis, Treatment Adherence, Skin Lesions, Quality of Life, SCORAD, DLQI.  ABSTRAK Dermatitis atopik memiliki karakteristik penyakit kronis residif yang memerlukan terapi jangka panjang sehingga keberhasilan terapi sangat ditentukan oleh tingkat kepatuhan pasien dalam menjalani pengobatan untuk mencegah kekambuhan dan peningkatan kualitas hidup. Mengetahui hubungan antara kepatuhan terapi dengan lesi kulit dan kualitas hidup pasien dermatitis atopik di RSUD Waled, Kabupaten Cirebon. Penelitian observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Subjek penelitian adalah pasien dermatitis atopik berusia 17–65 tahun yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Data diperoleh melalui kuesioner kepatuhan, instrumen Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), dan penilaian keparahan lesi menggunakan skor SCORAD. Hubungan antar variabel dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Rank Spearman. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kepatuhan terapi dan lesi kulit dengan nilai p = 0,000 dan r = -0,580. Selain itu, terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara kepatuhan terapi dan kualitas hidup dengan nilai p = 0,000 dan r = -0,793. Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kepatuhan terapi dengan lesi kulit dan peningkatan kualitas hidup pasien dermatitis atopik. Intervensi edukatif dan monitoring kepatuhan terapi diperlukan dalam manajemen penyakit ini.                                                                                          Kata Kunci: Dermatitis Atopik, Kepatuhan Terapi, Lesi Kulit, Kualitas Hidup, SCORAD, DLQI.
