Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) was an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Factors that influenced the emergence of DHF were divided into three: agent factors (dengue virus), host factors (age, gender, population mobility, education), and environmental factors (physical, biological, and socio-economic environment). DHF diagnosis was confirmed through laboratory criteria, including platelet count and hematocrit increase. This study aimed to determine the relationship between age, gender, and platelet count with the incidence of DHF at GMIM Pancaran Kasih General Hospital Manado. This study aimed to determine the relationship between age, gender, and platelet count with the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever among patients at GMIM Pancaran Kasih General Hospital Manado. The research method used in this study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. Statistical tests were conducted using the chi-square test. It used secondary data from 2024 with a total population of 141 patients. Based on the research results, there was a significant relationship between the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and age (p-value 0,025), platelet count (p-value 0.002), and there was no significant relationship between the incidence of DHF and gender (p-value 0.962) at GMIM Pancaran Kasih General Hospital Manado.

Abstract

Gastritis is a common health problem in Indonesia, including in Manado City. Many patients manage gastritis symptoms through self-medication, often using over-the-counter and limited OTC drugs. This reflects a level of awareness but also underscores the need for proper education on drug selection, dosage, usage timing, and expiration awareness. Motivation plays a key role in influencing health decisions, including efforts to prevent gastritis recurrence. However, studies examining the link between motivation and self-medication behavior remain limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between motivation and self-medication behavior in preventing gastritis recurrence among patients at Ranotana Weru Public Health Center, Manado City. It used a quantitative analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. From a population of 123, a total of 94 respondents were selected as samples. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using the Pearson correlation test in SPSS. Results showed a significant relationship between motivation and self-medication behavior (p = 0.015, r = 0.251), indicating a weak but positive correlation. Higher motivation was associated with a greater tendency to engage in self-medication as a preventive measure. However, self-medication should not be the first-line response. Professional medical consultation remains essential, especially if symptoms persist or worsen. Thus, education on the proper use, risks, and limitations of self-medication is crucial to support safer and more informed health decisions.
