Abstract

Background: Dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is widely recognized for its nutritional value and health benefits. However, its peel is often discarded as waste, despite containing high levels of anthocyanins. These natural pigments are responsible for the red coloration of dragon fruit and have considerable potential as safe, environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic dyes, particularly in cosmetic applications. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing dragon fruit peel extract as a natural dye in nail polish formulations and to assess the physical characteristics of the resulting cosmetic products. Methods: An experimental laboratory-based study was conducted by formulating nail polish using dragon fruit peel extract at three different concentrations: 8% (F1), 9% (F2), and 10% (F3). The formulated products were evaluated through organoleptic testing to assess physical appearance attributes, including color, form, and aroma. Panelist preferences were recorded to determine the most acceptable formulation. Results: The findings demonstrate that dragon fruit peel extract can be successfully used as a natural coloring agent in nail polish formulations. Among the three formulations, F3 (10% extract concentration) was identified as the most preferred, with 8 out of 10 panelists selecting it as the best formulation. This formulation exhibited the most attractive color intensity and the most favorable physical characteristics. Conclusion: Dragon fruit peel extract shows strong potential as a natural dye in cosmetic products, particularly nail polish. The use of a 10% extract concentration produced the most acceptable formulation, supporting the utilization of agricultural waste as a sustainable and safe alternative to synthetic cosmetic dyes.

Abstract

Background: Pharmaceutical services play a critical role in safeguarding public health by ensuring the rational, safe, and effective use of medicines. In Indonesia, the implementation of pharmacy service standards is regulated through the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 73 of 2016, which serves as a framework to improve the quality and consistency of pharmaceutical services in community pharmacies. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the extent of compliance with pharmaceutical service standards in community pharmacies in Baubau City. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey with a quantitative approach was conducted in 19 community pharmacies in Baubau City. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire derived from the pharmaceutical service standards stipulated in Minister of Health Decree No. 73/2016. Descriptive statistics were applied to summarize findings in the form of frequencies and percentages across key assessment domains, including human resources, facilities and infrastructure, and service quality. Results: The evaluation indicated that most pharmacies demonstrated adequate implementation of pharmaceutical service standards. Overall, 74% of pharmacies were categorized as “good,” while 26% were classified as “fair/adequate,” based on aggregated performance across the assessed domains. Conclusion: The majority of community pharmacies in Baubau City have implemented pharmaceutical service standards in accordance with Minister of Health Decree No. 73/2016 at a generally good level. However, a proportion of pharmacies still show only adequate compliance, highlighting the need for continuous supervision, capacity building, and quality improvement initiatives to strengthen pharmaceutical service delivery.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is defined by a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher and a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. This condition is associated with an increased risk of damage to vital organs, including the heart and the brain, potentially leading to cerebrovascular accidents. Medication adherence is crucial for managing hypertension and preventing complications. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of educational booklet media on medication adherence among hypertensive patients receiving treatment at the Central Buton Regional General Hospital. Methods: This study employed a one-group pre-and post-test design using a pre-experimental method. The research focused on hypertensive patients and utilized the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire to measure medication adherence. Qualitative research methods were applied to assess the impact of the educational booklet on patient behavior. Results: The results indicated that the provision of medication instructions through educational booklets significantly influenced the adherence of hypertensive patients at the Central Buton Regional General Hospital. Prior to receiving the educational booklet, 5 respondents (7.7%) demonstrated high adherence, 12 respondents (18.5%) showed moderate adherence, and 48 respondents (73.8%) exhibited low adherence. After the intervention, 8 respondents (12.3%) exhibited high adherence, 21 respondents (32.3%) displayed moderate adherence, and 36 respondents (55.4%) had low adherence. Conclusion: The distribution of the educational booklet at the Central Buton Regional General Hospital had a positive impact on hypertensive patients' medication adherence. While there was an improvement in adherence levels, the majority of patients still exhibited low adherence after the intervention. This suggests that while educational materials are beneficial, additional strategies may be necessary to further improve adherence and control blood pressure.
