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.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in Indonesia. Herbal concoctions are an alternative therapy that is considered safer, more affordable, and has minimal side effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using herbal concoctions in the form of decoctions and capsules in reducing cholesterol levels in patients with mild hypercholesterolemia at the Hortus Medicus Tawangmangu Herbal Science Clinic. This study used an analytical observational design based on medical records from 2024. A sample of 60 patients was divided into two groups of decoctions and capsules. Both preparations had the same composition: guava leaves, Chinese guava leaves, and tempuyung leaves with a therapy duration of 28 days. Data analysis used a paired t-test and an independent t-test. The paired t-test showed a difference between cholesterol levels before and after using the herbal concoction. In the decoction group, cholesterol levels decreased from 217.37 mg/dL to 196.17 mg/dL, while in the capsule group, cholesterol levels decreased from 217.17 mg/dL to 202.12 mg/dL with a p-value of 0.00 <0.05. The independent t-test showed an average decrease in cholesterol levels in the decoction group of 21.00 mg/dL, while in the capsule group it was 14.90 mg/dL, with a p-value of 0.00 <0.05. This indicates that decoction is more effective than capsules in reducing total cholesterol levels. This research can be the basis for the development of more effective anti-cholesterol herbal preparations.
