Abstract

Indonesia has a long experience in traditional medicine such as jamu. The government has been encouraging all sectors, especially pharmaceutical industries together with research institutions and academia to increase herbal medicine research so that herbal medicine is increasingly used in health services, including by medical doctors. Various efforts have been made but empirically it seems that this goal has not been achieved. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a survey to determine the understanding and use of herbal medicine among doctors. I was a cross-sectional study using an electronic questionnaire distributed to doctors who are members of the Indonesian Medical Association (IMA) per province. Three-hundred sixty-two respondents from 29 out of 38 (76%) provinces of Indonesia responded, and 263 out 362 respondents (72%) are general practitioners. In prescribing herbal medicines only 18.5% prescribed, 35% did not and 46.6% sometimes prescribed, respectively. Of the eleven phytopharmaceuticals/standardised herbal medicines only one medicine No. 5 was widely recognized by respondents (46.6%). This study showed that doctors' understanding of herbal medicine still needs to be improved through various means including webinars/seminars, journals that show good clinical trials so that they are more confident when prescribing herbal medicine to their patients. There is a need for more comprehensive information regarding the indications, efficacy and side effects of herbal medicine, through books or formularies that can be accessed by doctors. In addition, respondents agreed that herbal medicine should be taught in medical schools both in the pre-clinical and clinical phases.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis (head lice) is a global health issue, particularly among school-aged children, caused by Pediculus humanus capitis. This condition can be transmitted both directly or indirectly via fomites. Symptoms commonly associated with Pediculosis capitis include itching of the scalp, sleep disturbances, and discomfort. Several factors generally influence the prevalence, including age, gender, frequency of hair washing, hair type, level of knowledge, personal hygiene, living conditions, and shared use of bedding or pillows. Research purposes to identify the risk factors associated with Pediculosis capitis among students at SDN Cawang 04 and SDN Cawang 12 in East Jakarta. This research is an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The research method employed is quantitative, utilizing questionnaires as research instruments and visual inspection to diagnose infestation, which is confirmed if eggs, nymphs, or adult lice are found in the hair. The sample was selected through random sampling from students in grades 3,4, and 5, with a total of 180 respondents determined using the Slovin formula. Data collection in this study used primary data collected through head lice or nit examinations and questionnaires. The research instruments used were a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic characteristics and questions to determine the number and risk factors for head lice. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis in SPSS. The results show that out of 180 respondents, 100 people (55.6%) were positive for Pediculosis capitis, with a higher infestation rate among female students (76, 42.2%) compared to male students (24, 13.3%). Based on respondent characteristics, the most common age was 9 years old, namely 39 people (21.6%), and grade IV, 37 people (20.5%). Dominant risk factors include age, gender, having long hair, a family size of more than four members, and parents' highest education level being high school. This study indicates that the incidence of Pediculosis capitis remains relatively high.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can be transmitted, caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is still one of the health problems for national and global communities. This disease can cause disability and even death for sufferers, so it becomes a focus in the goals of sustainable health development. Objective to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes with tuberculosis prevention efforts in preclinical students of the 2022 intake at the Faculty of Medicine, Indonesian Christian University. Method: This study used analytical research with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples used was 115 respondents, which were taken using the total sampling technique. Based on the research results, 95.6% of preclinical students of the 2022 batch at the UKI Medical Faculty have good knowledge about tuberculosis and 89.6% of students have good attitudes towards efforts to prevent tuberculosis. In the results of the bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, the relationship between knowledge and efforts to prevent tuberculosis was obtained with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). In the analysis of the relationship between attitudes and efforts to prevent tuberculosis, a p-value of 0.009 (<0.05) was obtained. From the results of the chi-square test, there was a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes with efforts to prevent tuberculosis in preclinical students of the 2022 batch at the Faculty of Medicine, Indonesian Christian University. Conclusion: Good knowledge allows students to understand how TB is transmitted, its symptoms, and control strategies. Meanwhile, a positive attitude will form motivation and concern to actively participate in prevention. Therefore, improving these two aspects is an important key in strengthening TB prevention measures among preclinical students.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that is becoming a global health problem. Hypertension can be identified by systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg and diastolic 90 mmHg . Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to complications such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, blindness, etc. According to Basic Health Research 2018 ( Ris et Kesehatan Dasar 2018/Ris kesdas 2018) the prevalence of hypertension for >18 years old wa s 8.4%, and through measurements taken in health care facilities by 34.1%. Prevalence in the city was 34.4%, in the village was 33.7%, while according to gender 31.3% f or male and 36.9% for female. The study aimed to find out the knowledge and awareness of laypeople on hypertension and its therapy. This was a cross-sectional online study with 11 questions. Respondents were recruited from social media groups. The results showed 5 00 respondents (62.8 % female and 37.2 % male) involved in this study . The most common age range was 21-40 years (36.2 %), followed by 41-55 years (38.2%) , and the least was 56-65 years old (18.4%). Seventy-two percent of respondents did not have hypertension, and 9% said they did not know. Fifty-three percent of respondents knew about the value of high blood pressure, and 89% of the respondents said hypertension should be treated regularly. The most hypertension complications answered by respondents were stroke (40%), heart attack (26%) , and heart failure (16%). Amlodipine was the most mentioned by the respondents, and the second was ACE-inhibitor. However, omeprazole and omega-3 were also mentioned as anti-hypertension. Genetic s and a high salt diet were risk factors that many respondents chose. In conclusi on, the r espondents have a good understanding of hypertension. Information related to behaviour is needed to discontinue the increasing prevalence.
