Abstract

The incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in Indonesia is still quite high. The UTIs are generally treated with antibiotic. However, the use of antibiotics has recently increased tremendously thus triggering bacterial resistance. This study was to analyze the susceptibility of the Escherichia coli as the cause of the UTI to 15 antibiotics at the UPTD Health Laboratory Center of Maluku Province. The study was an experimental laboratory study using the disk diffusion method. The antibiotic disc was placed on the media and the inhibition zone against E. coli was measured. The results showed that the E. coli was resistant (26.67%) to 4 types of antibiotics, namely amoxilin, ampicillin, sulfametazole dan penicillin. Meanwhile, E. coli was sensitive (46.66%) to 7 types of antibiotics, namely kanamycin, gentamicin, subactam ampicillin, chloramphenicol, amikacin, ceffazedine and azithromycin. Furthermore, E. coli was intermediate (26.67%) against 4 types of antibiotics, namely ciprofloxacin, ceptriaxone, cefoxitin and colistin. This study concluded that of the 15 antibiotics tested, gentamicin, amikacin, and kanamycin were the most effective antibiotics in inhibiting the growth of E. coli that causes UTI. Nevertheless, the appropriate choice of antibiotic needs to be adjusted only by physicians based on local, regional and national patterns of susceptibility.

Abstract

his study examines the differences in psychological well-being between primigravida and multigravida women of the Nuaulu tribe in Central Maluku during the Nuhune ritual—a traditional period of cultural seclusion symbolizing spiritual purification before childbirth. Employing a comparative quantitative design, the study involved 30 participants (15 primigravida and 15 multigravida), assessed using an adapted version of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed significantly higher well-being scores among primigravida women (U = 5.500, p < 0.05), with a large effect size (r = 0.82). These findings suggest that first-time participation in cultural-spiritual rituals may foster greater personal growth, purpose, and emotional support. The results underscore the importance of culturally grounded maternal health strategies that recognize the psychological functions of indigenous rituals. Limitations include the small sample size and cross-sectional design.
