Abstract

Hepatotoxicity is an agent that causes damage to human liver function, and every year, cases of liver damage are increasing. Agents that cause liver damage, such as drugs (Paracetamol), chemicals, Carbon Tetrachloride (CCL4), cause liver damage, which is characterized by an increase in the liver enzymes Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) and Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT). Giving natural ingredients such as edible flower extracts (hepatoprotectors) can reduce SGOT and SGPT levels in liver damage (Hepatoxicity). Indonesia is a country rich in biodiversity, including edible flowers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze edible flowers that grow in Indonesia and have hepatoprotective activity. This research method is based on a Google Scholar search for the last 5 years (2024-2020) with a keyword search for herbal plants that grow in Indonesia, then selected edible flowers, and a search for edible flowers, then selected edible flowers that act as hepatoprotective. From the search results, edible flowers that act as hepatoprotectors were obtained, namely, Rosella Flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Pagoda Flower (Clerodendrum paniculatum L.), Water Hyacinth Flower (Eichhornia crassipes), French Marigold Flower (Tagetes Patula) and Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea), which grow abundantly in Indonesia. Based on the content of active edible compounds, namely flavonoids, anthocyanins, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, phenolic acids and carotenoids, with flavonoids being the most dominant found in all edible flowers. And among the 5 edible flowers as hepatoprotective, only 2 are the most familiar in Indonesia, namely Rosella Flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea), so it can be concluded that the most familiar hepatoprotective edible flowers in Indonesia are Rosella Flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea).

Abstract

Worm infestation is a parasitic infection that can affect the health, nutrition, intelligence and productivity of patients, especially in primary school-aged children. The disease often occurs due to unsanitary lifestyles and poor sanitation, with a high prevalence in Indonesia, especially in West Nusa Tenggara Province. Children aged 5-14 years, especially in areas with low economic levels, are particularly vulnerable to worms due to a lack of knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS). One solution that can be implemented is to provide counseling to children on how to wash their hands properly to prevent worm infections. This counseling activity was conducted at SDN 15 Cakranegara using a participatory approach, in collaboration with the school and local community. The results of this activity show that counseling can increase children's understanding of the importance of washing hands with soap and running water, which is expected to prevent the spread of worm infections and other related diseases. The success of this counseling is an important step in efforts to increase health awareness among children and communities.

Abstract

Resistensi antibiotik menjadi masalah serius bagi kesehatan secara global akibat penggunaan antibiotik yang tidak tepat. Meskipun aturan pembelian antibiotik dengan resep dokter telah diberlakukan, tingkat kepatuhan masyarakat masih rendah karena dianggap membatasi akses obat. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa-siswi MAN 2 Mataram mengenai bahaya resistensi antibiotik serta pencegahannya. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuisioner berupa pretest-postest untuk mengukur pemahaman sebelum dan sesudah penyampaian materi. Hasil menunjukkan, peningkatan pemahaman sebesar 44,77% dari 37,21% menjadi 81,98% yang menunjukkan tersampaikannya materi yang diberikan dengan baik. Kesimpulan pengabdian ini membuktikan bahwa edukasi mampu menjadi sarana efektif dalam mendorong penggunaan antibiotik secara rasional.

Abstract

Candida albicans infection is a common health problem in Indonesia and other tropical countries. Synthetic antifungals have been shown to develop resistance against Candida albicans. Therefore, it is necessary to explore potential natural ingredients as alternatives to synthetic antifungals. Soapnut fruit contains secondary metabolites that can inhibit or kill Candida albicans. The purpose of this study was to test the antifungal activity of Soapnuts fruit by examining the inhibition zone. The inhibition zone was tested using the well diffusion method. In this study, Soapnuts extract was used with concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The results showed a probability value (p) of 0.008 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between each concentration of soapnut extract and the inhibition zone diameter of Candida albicans. The best results were shown by the 100% concentration, which produced an average inhibition zone of 27.50 mm, categorized as very strong inhibition. Soapnut fruit extract exhibits a potent inhibitory effect against Candida albicans. This study can serve as a reference in the development of antifungal agents from Soapnuts fruit extract.

Abstract

Hipertensi masih menjadi masalah kesehatan yang menjadi penyebab kematian ke-3 setelah stroke dan tuberkulosis di Indonesia. Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) termasuk daerah dengan prevalensi hipertensi cukup tinggi, khususnya Kabupaten Lombok Tengah dengan jumlah penderita hipertensi terbanyak ke-2 setelah Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Desa Sukarare, Kecamatan Jonggat, Lombok Tengah merupakan salah satu desa yang mengalami peningkatan jumlah penderita hipertensi setiap tahunnya. Rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap faktor risiko hipertensi dan minimnya literasi kesehatan menjadi faktor yang mempengaruhi peningkatan jumlah penderita hipertensi. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut Prodi D3 Farmasi UNIQHBA melakukan pendekatan promotif dan preventif melalui kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat yang dilaksanakan pada 16 November 2024 dengan melibatkan 61 peserta. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat terkait hipertensi dan pemanfaatan herbal sebagai bagian pelestarian kearifan lokal dalam mencegah serta mengatasi hipertensi berbasis bukti ilmiah. Metode yang digunakan berupa edukasi kesehatan berbasis partisipasi masyarakat yang dipadukan dengan pemeriksaan kesehatan dan kegiatan senam sehat. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat yang signifikan, dimana terjadi kenaikan rata-rata nilai post-test sebesar 50 poin (125%) dibandingkan nilai pretest. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa edukasi berbasis partisipasi masyarakat berkontribusi dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanganan hipertensi serta mendorong kemandirian masyarakat dalam mengelola kesehatan berbasis potensi lokal.
