Abstract

Geriatric tend to suffer from more than one disease and consume more than one drug yearly. This study aimed to identify and educate geriatrics in the elderly community in Lubuk Begalung Padang, West Sumatra, about adverse drug reactions and drug-related problems. This society activity was carried out by direct interviews using a questionnaire and counselling individual patients. The results of this activity were presented descriptively. A total of 30 female (93.1%) and male (2.60%) subjects were involved in this study. Data showed that 86.70% of the subjects did not carry out regular medical check-ups, 63.4% of the subjects used three or more types of drugs, 77% of the subjects did not know the names of the drugs given, and 56.70% did not know nor did not receive information of the usage of the drug. In conclusion, the people in Lubuk Begalung sub-district Padang still lack knowledge regarding drugs and the risk of polypharmacy, so drug education and counselling for the community needs to be improved. In this activity, the effect of providing education on changes in the knowledge or behaviour of the respondents was not measured. However, the respondents expressed their satisfaction with this activity and hoped that the activities would continue in the future

Abstract

Community health education is crucial, including education on the rational use of antibiotics, as well as halal food and medicine. Additionally, providing free medical treatment has a significant impact, encouraging the community to prioritize health and maintain it as a primary concern. This community service project was conducted in the Desa Perkampungan Adat Sijunjung. The objective of this activity is to maintain and improve the community's health status. One way to achieve this is through community service activities. The service involved educational sessions on medicines and health, as well as free medical treatment, in collaboration with the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Andalas. The education targeted pregnant women and the elderly, focusing on proper medication selection, rational use of antibiotics, and education on halal medicines and food. Free medical treatment involved specialist doctors and pharmacists, who also provided counseling on medications to patients. The results of the activity showed high community enthusiasm, with more than 100 prescriptions filled. The education on the rational use of medications, particularly antibiotics, is expected to increase community awareness and knowledge. This activity also highlights the importance of pharmacists in providing patient-oriented pharmaceutical services, as well as the importance of promotional and preventive efforts in maintaining public health. It can be concluded that free medical treatment is expected to encourage the community to be more health-conscious and less fearful of seeking medical care.
