Abstract

Hypertension has the most significant prevalence among non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia. The prevalence of hypertension in 2018 of 34.11% rose 8.31% from the prevalence of hypertension in 2013 of 25.8%. Data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia indicates that 32.3% of hypertension patients exhibit non-compliance or do not regularly adhere to medication regimens, thereby increasing their mortality risk. The objective of this study was to establish the magnitude of the impact caused by the compliance level to the use of antihypertensive scientific herbal medicines on the effectiveness of hypertensive patients’ therapy in UPF. Yankestrad Rs Dr. Sardjito Tawangmangu. This study descriptively utilized a quantitative cross-sectional method using the MARS-5 (Medication Adherence Report Scale) questionnaire to measure adherence level. The sample of this study consisted of 150 purposively hypertensive respondents out of the total sample size of the 150 who conducted the research in October 2023. Data analysis includes univariate and bivariate analysis with a chi-square test. The research findings provide a reliable understanding of compliance levels. A very low compliance level was recorded at 32 or 21.3%, a moderate compliance level was recorded at 53 or 35.3% and a high compliance level was recorded at 65 or 43.4%. The chi-square supported the association thus out of 113 respondents the p-value at 0.001 and where the relationship can be a very healthy therapy at UPF Yankestrad Dr. Sardjito Tawangmangu Hospital.

Abstract

According to WHO and UNICEF, diarrheal disease occurs around 2 million cases and 1.9 million children die each year with a prevalence of 78% in developing countries. The treatment used is antibiotics. Irrational use of antibiotics can cause less effective treatment, decreased drug safety levels, high treatment costs and increased resistance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rationality of antibiotic use in pediatric diarrhea patients at UNS Hospital using the Gyssens method for the period January - September 2023. This study was conducted as an observational study with a descriptive design with retrospective sampling, the sample of this study was 80 patients and included in the inclusion category of 33 samples, then a descriptive analysis was carried out using the Gyssens assessment. The reference used is the Indian guidelines Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) 2022, DIH, MIMS, and UNS Hospital Drug Formulary. Data collection began with observation of medical records of pediatric diarrhea patients at UNS Hospital. The research data was obtained from UNS Hospital medical records for the period January - September 2023, then analyzed using the Gyssens method which was categorized as 0 - 6 descriptively and presented in the form of a percentage.This study shows the results of the rationality of antibiotics for pediatric diarrhea patients in the inpatient department of UNS Hospital using the Gyssens method for the period January - September 2023 proving that 71.73% of patients received rational antibiotic therapy (category 0), as many as 28.27% of patients received irrational antibiotic therapy including 10.87% category IVC, namely there are cheaper alternatives, 6.53% category IIIB, namely the duration of antibiotic use is too short, 10.87% category IIB, namely the interval of antibiotic administration is not appropriate.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. In 2024, DHF cases in Indonesia reached 1,010 cases, most of which occurred in children, with a mortality rate of 34 cases. DHF therapy generally uses electrolyte fluids and antipyretics. Accurate dosage is crucial for achieving successful therapy and maintaining normal temperature and hematocrit. This study aims to determine patient characteristics, the accuracy of antipyretic and fluid therapy dosages, and the relationship between the accuracy of antipyretic drug dosages and fluid therapy with therapeutic success in pediatric DHF patients at the Inpatient Unit of DKT Slamet Riyadi Hospital, Surakarta. This study is non-experimental with a cross-sectional observational approach. Data were collected and analyzed by reviewing the medical records of DHF patients during the 2021-2023 period, resulting in a total sample of 30 pediatric patients. The data collected was then processed to analyze drug therapy given to pediatric DHF patients, with a focus on evaluating drug rationality based on appropriate dosage categories. The results of the analysis are presented in a table to show the percentage of dengue fever medication use in pediatric patients at DKT Slamet Riyadi Surakarta Hospital, along with relevant analysis. The results show that all patients (100%) were aged 1-5 years, with 56.67% male and 43.33% female. The accuracy of antipyretic (paracetamol) and fluid therapy (RL) dosages was 86.66% accurate. The Chi-Square statistical test showed a p-value (<0.05), indicating a relationship between dosage accuracy and the success of dengue fever therapy in pediatric patients.

Abstract

Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that is often found in geriatrics. Inappropriate medication use in geriatrics will have a greater negative impact. The occurrence of Drug-related problems (DPRs) in the category of appropriate antihypertensive drug selection is one of the factors that can cause failure to achieve blood pressure targets in geriatrics , due to physiological, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic changes, as well as complications and polypharmacy in geriatrics. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the appropriateness of antihypertensive drug selection and the achievement of blood pressure targets in geriatric patients at the Mojogedang Community Health Center. This study was a descriptive study using an analytical cross-sectional observational design. The variables in this study consisted of the independent variable, namely the appropriateness of antihypertensive drug selection, and the dependent variable, namely the achievement of geriatric blood pressure targets. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique . The samples taken must meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a total of 12 patients were eligible for sampling in this study. The results of the study showed that the results of Hypertension patients at the Mojogedang Community Health Center which were the research sample were dominated by Stage 2 Hypertension patients, namely 91.67%, while the remaining 8.33% entered Stage 1 Hypertension. The next data reported in this study was the accuracy of antihypertensive selection and the achievement of blood pressure targets. As many as 83.33% of patients who were samples in this study had received the right antihypertensive and 75% of patients were able to achieve blood pressure targets, so that statistically it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the accuracy of antihypertensive selection and the achievement of blood pressure targets (p value = 0.007).

Abstract

Cough is a common symptom in children and is frequently managed through self-medication. Limited parental knowledge may lead to inappropriate medicine selection, dosing errors, and potential adverse effects. To examine the levels of knowledge and attitudes and to analyse the association between knowledge level and attitudes towards cough self-medication among parents of toddlers in Parangjoro Hamlet, Grogol District, Sukoharjo Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 99 parents of toddlers selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analysed using univariate statistics and the Chi-square test. Most respondents had a good level of knowledge (70.71%), and 59.6% showed positive attitudes towards cough self-medication. There was a statistically significant association between knowledge level and attitudes (p=0.001). Higher knowledge was associated with more positive attitudes towards cough self-medication among parents of toddlers.
