This research investigates the effectiveness of counseling methods, incorporating seminar models and PowerPoint presentations, in enhancing students’ knowledge and preparedness for fire emergency response at Universitas Prima Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 78 students from the Public Health Bachelor Program. The intervention comprised four counseling sessions covering basic fire knowledge, preparedness steps, emergency actions, and the use of firefighting equipment. Data was collected through questionnaires administered before and after the intervention, assessing students' knowledge of fire extinguishers, hydrants, fire alarms, assembly points, emergency exits, and emergency stairs. The results indicated a significant positive impact, with post-test scores for both knowledge and preparedness substantially higher than pre-test scores (p < 0.001). Before the intervention, only 25.6% of participants demonstrated good knowledge, while after the intervention, 97.4% achieved this level. Similarly, preparedness levels significantly increased, with 97.4% of participants feeling ready after the intervention compared to only 19.2% before. The study underscores the effectiveness of the implemented counseling methods and supports the recommendation for continuous fire safety education to ensure sustained preparedness.

Self-medication and home remedies are the most frequently used methods to relieve menstrual discomfort among female college students. The practice of self-medication varies among adolescent female students. Therefore, this study aimed to observe and analyze the factors associated with the practice of self-medication for primary dysmenorrhea among university students.This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 207 female health students from Universitas Prima Indonesia. The sample was obtained through a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis included univariate analysis, bivariate analysis (chi-square and Fisher's exact test), and multivariate analysis (logistic regression). The prevalence of self-medication was reported to be 36.7%. Several factors were found to be associated with self-medication practices for primary dysmenorrhea among students, namely menstrual cycle (p<0.001, OR: 3.27, 95% CI 1.75-6.10), duration of pain during menstruation (p<0.001 OR: 3.85, 95% CI 2.10-7.07), and severity of pain (p=0.009 OR: 2.21, 95% CI 1.24-3.93). In contrast, age (p=0.316), academic year (p=0.889), family history (p=0.470), age at menarche (p=0.223), and menstrual duration (p=0.552) did not show a statistically significant association with self-medication practices for primary dysmenorrhea. The dominant factor influencing self-medication practices for primary dysmenorrhea was pain duration. Notably, self-medication with medications was found to be relatively low among health students with primary dysmenorrhea. Therefore, educational programs that address the limitations of self-medication with drugs need to be implemented effectively.

Self-medication, defined as the use of medication without a prescription or professional guidance, is a global phenomenon with significant implications for both individual and public health. This behaviour is frequently motivated by the desire to alleviate minor ailments, avoid healthcare costs, or circumvent lengthy consultation waiting times. While it can constitute a component of responsible self-care, self-medication also carries risks such as adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, antibiotic resistance, and the potential for misuse. This research aimed to analyse the factors associated with self-medication behaviour among non-healthcare students at Universitas Prima Indonesia. The study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed to 188 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Economics at Universitas Prima Indonesia, selected using simple random sampling. The independent variables in this study were gender, knowledge of self-medication, peer recommendations, and academic stress, while the dependent variable was self-medication behaviour. Data analysis involved univariate statistics to describe the characteristics of each variable and bivariate analysis using the Chi-squared test to examine the relationships between variables. The results indicated that knowledge (OR=3.230; p=0.000), peer recommendations (OR=2.046; p=0.000), and academic stress (OR=1.552; p=0.002) were significantly associated with self-medication, whereas gender was not (p=0.126). It can be concluded that a lack of knowledge, peer influence, and academic stress increase the risk of self-medication. Educational interventions and mental health support are necessary to reduce unsafe self-medication practices.

As the outermost organ of the body, the skin is vulnerable to disorders such as inflammation, infection, and irritation, necessitating the use of effective and safe topical preparations. Avocado leaves (Persea americana Mill.) contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols with known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a cream preparation containing ethanolic extract of avocado leaves as a natural active ingredient. The extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol and formulated into three concentrations: 10% (F1), 15% (F2), and 20% (F3). Evaluations included organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and physical stability. The results showed that all formulations had a homogeneous appearance, characteristic color according to extract concentration, were odorless and tasteless. The pH values ranged within a safe range for skin application (4.83–4.90), and the best spreadability was observed in formulation F2. Increasing extract concentration tended to decrease spreadability due to increased viscosity. All formulations demonstrated good physical stability during cyclic stability testing. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that avocado leaf ethanolic extract can be effectively formulated into a stable, safe, and physically acceptable cream suitable for topical use.

Fever is characterized by an elevation of body temperature above the normal range of 37.5°C and represents a physiological response to various health conditions such as infections or other diseases. Antipyretic drugs, including paracetamol and ibuprofen, are commonly used to manage fever. Ethanol extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (kembang sepatu) leaves contains bioactive compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates, steroids, phenols, glycosides, quinones, terpenoids, cyclopeptides, and alkaloids, which may confer natural antipyretic properties. In this study, 3% and 5% (w/w) Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaf ethanol extracts were formulated into transdermal patches and evaluated for their antipyretic efficacy in male rats induced with the Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus (DPT) vaccine. The dried Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves were macerated using 96% ethanol. The concentrated extract was formulated into a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based transdermal patch. Phytochemical screening of the extract, stability testing of the transdermal patch, and statistical analysis of the antipyretic effect on DPT-induced male rats were conducted. Phytochemical screening of the 96% ethanol extract confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and saponins. The transdermal patch formulation demonstrated good stability over 21 days of storage. The 5% extract patch exhibited the highest antipyretic activity, significantly reducing fever in the experimental rats and showing effectiveness comparable to the positive control (paracetamol).

Prescription dispensing in pharmacies involves two key stages: screening and medication preparation. Screening, conducted by the pharmacist, covers administrative requirements, pharmaceutical suitability, and clinical considerations. Medication preparation includes compounding, labeling, packaging, dispensing, counseling, and monitoring. The overarching goal is to ensure that the medication prescribed is accurately and safely delivered to the patient. This study assessed the prescription service quality for glibenclamide in Tapung Hilir pharmacies. Ninety pharmacies were randomly sampled, and data were collected using a simulated patient approach, where researchers acted as patients' family members seeking glibenclamide. The instruments employed—prescription, scenario, protocol, and checklist—were validated for reliability. Results showed that 85 pharmacies (94.4%) dispensed the prescribed medication. However, patient information gathering was minimal: only 7.1% asked for the recipient’s identity, 18.8% for the patient’s address, and fewer than 5% inquired about prior medication use or understanding of administration. Critical clinical data such as patient age, symptomatology, therapy goals, concurrent medications, and allergy history were generally not obtained. On average, pharmacies asked only 0.4 out of 13 patient assessment questions. Regarding medication counseling, the frequency of drug use was explained by 42.4% of pharmacies, while other key information—indication, dose, side effects, treatment duration, and storage—was rarely provided. On average, only 1.2 out of 16 drug information items were communicated. Labels were provided by 65.9% of pharmacies, with only one using a distinguishable blue label. In conclusion, the involvement of pharmacy staff in the comprehensive provision of prescription services for glibenclamide remains limited in Tapung Hilir. Enhancement in patient assessment and information delivery is urgently needed to improve medication safety and effectiveness.

This research investigates the effectiveness of counseling methods, incorporating seminar models and PowerPoint presentations, in enhancing students’ knowledge and preparedness for fire emergency response at Universitas Prima Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 78 students from the Public Health Bachelor Program. The intervention comprised four counseling sessions covering basic fire knowledge, preparedness steps, emergency actions, and the use of firefighting equipment. Data was collected through questionnaires administered before and after the intervention, assessing students' knowledge of fire extinguishers, hydrants, fire alarms, assembly points, emergency exits, and emergency stairs. The results indicated a significant positive impact, with post-test scores for both knowledge and preparedness substantially higher than pre-test scores (p < 0.001). Before the intervention, only 25.6% of participants demonstrated good knowledge, while after the intervention, 97.4% achieved this level. Similarly, preparedness levels significantly increased, with 97.4% of participants feeling ready after the intervention compared to only 19.2% before. The study underscores the effectiveness of the implemented counseling methods and supports the recommendation for continuous fire safety education to ensure sustained preparedness.
