Abstract

Background: Cervical cancer is a women's reproductive health problem that can be prevented through Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. However, HPV vaccination coverage among young age groups, including female medical students, remains relatively low despite their health education background. Knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes are believed to play a role in shaping health-related behaviors. Objective: To analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes with cervical cancer prevention behavior through HPV vaccination among female medical students at Al-Azhar Islamic University Methods: This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design. A total of 75 female medical students were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test with a significance level of p-value < 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents had good knowledge, positive perceptions, and favorable attitudes toward cervical cancer and HPV vaccination. However, most respondents had not received the HPV vaccine (85.3%). Statistical analysis showed no significant association between knowledge (p = 1.000), perception (p = 0.056), or attitude (p = 1.000) and cervical cancer prevention behavior through HPV vaccination. Conclusion: Good levels of knowledge, perception, and attitude were not significantly associated with cervical cancer prevention behavior through HPV vaccination among female medical students.

Abstract

Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus remain a global health problem, particularly due to increasing antibiotic resistance that limits the effectiveness of conventional therapy. This condition encourages the development of alternative antibacterial agents based on natural materials. Bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana) and betel leaves (Piper betle L.) are known to have antibacterial activity, however the potential of their combination against Staphylococcus aureus has not been widely studied. This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a combination of ethanol extracts of bidara leaves and betel leaves against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus with three variations of concentration ratios, namely 100%:0%, 50%:50%, and 0%:100%. There are also 2 control groups, namely a positive control using the antibiotic Clindamycin and a negative control using 10% DMSO. The study used a true experimental design with a post-test only control group design and was conducted using an inhibition zone test with the disc diffusion method. In addition, phytochemical screening tests were carried out to identify active compounds in each extract. The results of phytochemical screening of bidara leaf extract, betel leaf extract, and their combination showed positive results containing secondary metabolites in the form of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and phenols. The results showed that the average diameter of the inhibition zones formed were group 1 (100%:0%) 25.6 mm, group 2 (50%:50%) 19.4 mm, and group 3 (0%:100%) 26.2 mm. The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences between groups (P=0.000), however further tests showed that there were no significant differences between the treatment groups. In conclusion, the combination of bidara leaf (Ziziphus mauritiana) and betel leaf (Piper betle L.) extracts has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, but does not show a synergistic effect and is not more effective than single extracts.
