Abstract

Introduction:  Hypertension is a significant global health issue that often presents without symptoms, leaving many individuals unaware of their condition. Effective management and prevention of hypertension require increased awareness and education, particularly among the elderly population, who are at higher risk. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health counseling using leaflets in improving hypertension knowledge among the elderly at Integrated service post (Posyandu) community association (RW) 4 Gandatapa. Method: This descriptive quantitative study employed a pre-post design. Health counseling was conducted using leaflets at  Integrated service post  (Posyandu) community association (RW) 4 Gandatapa on July 16, 2024, involving 44 elderly participants aged 65-70 years. Knowledge levels were assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The intervention included distributing leaflets and conducting a discussion session to reinforce the information provided. Result:The study observed a significant increase in participants' knowledge about hypertension, with average knowledge scores rising from 43% in the pre-test to 63% in the post-test. Conclusion: The findings suggest that health counseling using leaflets is an effective method for improving hypertension knowledge among the elderly. However, to optimize the impact, future interventions should consider additional support methods, especially for those with limited literacy or visual impairments.

Abstract

The management of genitourinary infections presents a growing challenge due to antimicrobial resistance, shifting regional patterns, and evolving etiologies. This study aimed to elucidate antibiotic utilization trends and patterns for genitourinary system diseases at an Indonesian teaching hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. This retrospective, cross-sectional study analyzed antibiotic use in an Indonesian teaching hospital's inpatient department in 2021. Data on systemic antibiotics (ATC: J01) for genitourinary diseases (ICD-10: N00-N99) were extracted from electronic records. Prescription patterns were evaluated by patient characteristics, disease profiles, administration routes, and WHO AWaRe classification. Among the 47,696 hospitalized patients who received antibiotics, 1,752 were treated with J01 antibiotics for genitourinary disorders, mostly in elderly men with prostatic hyperplasia and obstructive uropathy. Cephalosporins, especially ceftriaxone (724 prescriptions) and cefazolin (294 prescriptions), were the most commonly prescribed, while amoxicillin/beta-lactamase inhibitors were the least prescribed. Parenteral administration was more common than oral, and "Watch" category antibiotics were prescribed twice as often as "Access" antibiotics in adults and the elderly. Genitourinary disorders like prostatic hyperplasia and obstructive uropathy significantly impact elderly men. This study reveals a trend of high broad-spectrum antibiotic use, such as ceftriaxone and cefazolin injections, in hospitalized patients with these conditions.
