Abstract

Pharmaceutical services are a direct and responsible service to patients. One of the pharmaceutical service activities that align with the concept of pharmaceutical care is found in the quality of Drug Information Services (PIO) in pharmacies. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of DIS based on the Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation No.73 of 2016 in pharmacies in the East Lombok region. This study is observational descriptive using quantitative analysis in the form of calculating the percentage of Respondent Achievement Level (TCR). Data was collected using a questionnaire covering eight activities that pharmacists should undertake when providing drug information, which were subsequently used as indicators. Sample selection was done through purposive sampling with a minimum of 96 samples. Based on the research results, the TCR percentage values for the indicators were as follows: information on drug efficacy at 78% with a good category; dosage form at 78% with a good category; usage instructions at 75% with a good category; drug dosage at 74% with a good category; side effects at 74% with a good category; drug storage at 74% with a good category; safety for pregnant and nursing mothers at 46% with a fair category; information on drug prices obtained a score of 90% with a very good category. The average TCR score for the 8 indicators was 73.3% with a good category in providing drug information services in accordance with the Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation No.73 of 2016 in pharmacies in the East Lombok region.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest number of type II diabetes mellitus patients in the world, reaching 10.7 million people. Diabetes mellitus requires long-term treatment to control patients' blood glucose levels. The types of therapy used vary, leading to differences in costs and treatment outcomes. The use of insulin is a significant issue in diabetes mellitus therapy, especially at RSUD Dr. R. Soedjono, concerning its cost-effectiveness and therapeutic efficacy. This study aims to analyze the cost-effectiveness of using Lantus and Apidra insulin therapies.This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design, and data collection was conducted retrospectively at RSUD Dr. R. Soedjono Selong. The sample selection was based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Observations were made on the Length of Stay (LOS) and Direct Medical Cost (DMC) for each sample. Based on LOS and DMC data, the Average Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ACER) was calculated. The results showed that the average LOS for Lantus insulin use was 4 days, while for Apidra insulin use, it was 5 days. The average DMC for Lantus insulin was Rp.2,395,734, while for Apidra insulin, it reached Rp. 2,590,218. Based on LOS and DMC data, the ACER value for Lantus insulin was Rp 598,934/day, while for Apidra insulin, it was Rp 518,043/day. The use of Apidra insulin is more cost-effective because it has a lower ACER value.

Abstract

Inappropriate use of prescription drugs for non-medical purposes remains a public health concern among adolescents, particularly the use of dexamethasone and cyproheptadine as appetite stimulants. These drugs pose potential health risks when used without proper medical supervision. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of health education on adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the use of dexamethasone and cyproheptadine as appetite enhancers. A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 30 adolescents aged 14–19 years in Aikmel Village, East Lombok, Indonesia, who had previously used or were currently using these drugs for appetite stimulation. Health education was delivered through lectures supported by leaflets containing information on drug indications, side effects, and rational use. Knowledge and attitude were measured using validated and reliable questionnaires before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge scores from a median of 2 (range 2–5) at pretest to 9 (range 7–10) at posttest (p < 0.001). Attitude scores also significantly improved from a median of 23 (range 20–25) to 39 (range 37–40) after the intervention (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that health education using lectures and leaflets effectively improves adolescents’ understanding and attitudes toward rational drug use. In conclusion, structured health education significantly enhances knowledge and promotes more appropriate attitudes regarding the use of dexamethasone and cyproheptadine, suggesting its potential as a preventive strategy to reduce irrational drug use among adolescents.
