Abstract

The misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic drug resistance, which can increase morbidity and mortality. In order to stop the emergence of antibiotic drug resistance, the WHO recommends routinely assessing the usage of antibiotics. When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, antibiotic consumption significantly increased compared to the prior year. The panic buying phenomenon also appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this circumstance, medications like antibiotics become rare. The abuse of antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to the spread of antibiotic resistance more frequently. This study was conducted to evaluate and describe the use of antibiotic drugs in COVID-19 ward patients at a North Jakarta regional hospital for the period April 2020 – April 2021. This study was an observational study design. The Gyssens method and the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical/Defined Daily Doses (ATC/DDD) methodology, respectively, evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic use on a quantitative and qualitative level. There were 24 different types of antibiotics used, and 161 respondents all met the criterion for inclusion. The most widely used antibiotic was azithromycin, with a DDD/100 patient days value of 25.15. According to Gyssen’s evaluation, 92.6% of antibiotic usage was rational and 7.4% was irrational.

Abstract

The immune system greatly influences the increasing positive cases and death of Covid 19. In order to increase public knowledge about the use of herbal plants as a booster for the immune system, the Pharmacy Study Program at the Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia was holding activities for community dedication by providing education about the potential of Sambiloto leaves in preventing Covid-19 infection. This education was aimed at social media users, given a seven-minute video shared on Youtube. The video link was shared through social media Instagram, WhatsApp, and Line. The video was uploaded to Youtube on April 18, 2021, then after two weeks, followed by filling out a questionnaire by the viewers using a Google form until May 2, 2021. The results show that 1,929 viewers, 354 likers, and 305 respondents filled out the questionnaire. The questionnaire results also showed that over 90% of respondents increased their knowledge after watching the video and could answer all the questions correctly. Thus, it can be concluded that this educational activity has succeeded in increasing the knowledge of social media users significantly and had a positive impact on changing people's behavior for using sambiloto leaves as immune boosters for the prevention and treatment of covid 19.
