Abstract

Medication errors are preventable and endangering events that still occur when patients receive treatment from healthcare professionals. One form of such error is incomplete prescriptions, which can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of therapy and patient safety. This phenomenon is commonly found in various healthcare facilities in Indonesia. Methods: This study aims to determine the completeness of outpatient prescriptions at the Pharmacy Installation of the Indonesian Christian University General Hospital (RSU UKI), especially from the administrative and pharmaceutical aspects. This study is a non-experimental retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Samples were taken randomly directly from outpatient prescriptions that entered the UKI Hospital Pharmacy Installation during the period October to December 2022. Results: From the evaluation results of the prescriptions studied, data was obtained that the level of completeness in the administrative aspect included: pro (patient and doctor identity) of 73.80%, inscriptio (health care facility identity) 92.85%, invocatio (symbol R/) 100%, and subscriptio (technical instructions for pharmacists) 79.77%. Meanwhile, in the pharmaceutical aspect, the level of completeness of the signatura (instructions for use for patients) reached 91.67% and prescriptio (medicine name, dosage, dosage form, and quantity) was 88.39%. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that most outpatient prescriptions at the Pharmacy Installation of RSU UKI have met the standards of administrative and pharmaceutical completeness. However, there are still shortcomings in several components, especially in the pro and subscriptio sections. Efforts are needed to improve accuracy in writing prescriptions by medical personnel to minimize the risk of medication errors and improve patient safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Epistaxis or nosebleed is one of the emergency conditions in the field of otorhinolaryngology that is often encountered, especially anterior epistaxis. Allergic rhinitis can be a predisposing factor for epistaxis due to chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa that causes fragility of blood vessels in the Kiesselbach plexus area. Objective: To report a case of anterior epistaxis in a patient with a history of allergic rhinitis, and to evaluate the appropriateness of the diagnosis and management based on existing theories and literature. Methods: This writing is a descriptive case report of a patient who came with complaints of nosebleeds. Anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting examinations were performed to confirm the diagnosis and formulate management. Results and Discussion: The patient was diagnosed with anterior epistaxis triggered by the underlying condition of allergic rhinitis. Therapy given was in the form of local treatment (cauterization) and antihistamine medication to control allergic symptoms. The evaluation results showed significant clinical improvement without recurrence. Conclusion: Anterior epistaxis can occur as a complication of chronic allergic rhinitis. The diagnosis established through anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting tests is consistent with the theory outlined in the literature review. Appropriate treatment of underlying causes, such as allergic rhinitis, is crucial to prevent recurrence.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that more than 2 million health workers are exposed to injuries from sharp objects, including injuries from needle sticks, every year. Health workers experience more than 2 million injuries from sharp objects at work every year. This injury causes approximately 16,000 cases of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, 66,000 cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and 1,000 cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Objective: determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the use of personal protective equipment with work accident rates among Merdeka Health Center health workers in 2025. Method: This research uses an analytical observational research type with the research design used is a cross-sectional study with a sampling technique using the Total Sampling technique. 31 respondents had data according to the inclusion criteria. The data in this study are primary data because they were collected by the researcher himself and obtained directly from the respondents. Information was collected through a digital questionnaire sheet that would be given to the respondents. Before filling out the questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods by the spss application.Results: There is a significant relationship between knowledge and the incidence of work accidents (P value 0.015) with an Odds Ratio value of 0.111 and a Confidence Interval of 0.019-0.645. There is a significant relationship between attitude and the incidence of work accidents (P value 0.022) with an Odds Ratio analysis of 0.105 and a Confidence Interval of 0.016-0.713. There is a significant relationship between the practice of using personal protective equipment and the incidence of work accidents (P value 0.004) with an Odds Ratio analysis of 0.071 and a Confidence Interval of 0.012-0.442.Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices of using personal protective equipment and work accidents among health workers at the Merdeka Health Center, Bogor City in 2025.

Abstract

Background: Physical fitness is the ability to carry out daily and leisure activities efficiently without excessive fatigue, thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases. However, few studies in Indonesia have explored the link between body fat percentage and physical fitness among medical students. This study aims to analyze that relationship in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Indonesian Christian University. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study involved 57 university students selected using simple random sampling. Inclusion criteria were active medical students from the 2023 intake who were willing to participate. Exclusion criteria were students with musculoskeletal injuries or chronic diseases affecting physical performance. Body fat percentage was measured using skinfold calipers, and physical fitness was assessed using the Harvard Step Test. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. Ethical approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, Indonesian Christian University. Results: The analysis showed that the majority of students had a low physical fitness index, with 71.9% of participants having low physical fitness. A significant correlation was found between body fat percentage and physical fitness (p = 0.015), with increasing body fat percentage associated with decreased physical fitness. Conclusion: Increasing body fat percentage correlates with decreasing levels of physical fitness, suggesting that higher levels of body fat in college students are likely to negatively impact their ability to perform physical activity efficiently and reduce their risk of chronic disease.
