Abstract

Captopril is an antihypertensive drug that belongs to the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE-Inhibitor) class and is widely applied for first-line therapy. This drug has a pharmacokinetic profile with a short half-life of about 2-3 hours, is easily soluble in water, and is stable under acidic conditions (pH 1.2). However, its stability decreases as the pH increases, making it susceptible to degradation. Absorption of captopril in the stomach does not take place completely due to the low gastro retention time (GTR), causing its bioavailability to be low (around 65%). To increase drug effectiveness, reduce degradation, and improve patient compliance, various drug delivery systems have been developed. One promising approach is the Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System (GRDDS), which is a sustained release drug delivery system deliberately designed to maintain the drug longer in the stomach. This review article aims to examine GRDDS methods that can be applied to captopril, including modification of the matrix and polymer used, in order to obtain a better drug release profile and improve drug characteristics. The literature review was searched using databases namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, with publication year coverage from 2014 to 2024. The keywords used included: “Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System (GRDDS)”.

Abstract

Health is an important aspect for both individuals and the wider population. WHO (World Health Organization) is the largest health organization in the world which covers world health by distributing health aid funds to policies which will later become a reference for various countries to implement. The aim of this research is to determine the Management of Health Operational Assistance Funds (BOK) towards the Achievement of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) in the Productive Age Service Sector at the Sei Agul Community Health Center, Medan City. This research is qualitative research with an in-depth case study approach. This research involved four informants who understand, know and understand, namely the Head of the Community Health Center, the BOK Treasurer, the productive age program implementer, and the person in charge of the productive age program. The data analysis used in this research is case study analysis with data processing using a qualitative data processing application, namely Nvivo version 14. Management of BOK funds at the Sei Agul Community Health Center, Medan City has obstacles, namely adjusting the Community Health Center program with the Health Service program. In its implementation there are obstacles, namely the slow realization of the BOK budget and a less active community. Reporting has obstacles, namely too many reporting files and too short a time. In the evaluation, there were solutions to obstacles to program implementation that were not followed up.

Abstract

Background The family plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and well-being of its members. One of its essential functions is health care, including disease prevention, caregiving, and health-related decision-making. This function becomes particularly important during times of crisis or illness. Family resilience refers to the ability of a family to adapt, recover, and grow stronger in the face of adversity. A strong health care function within the family may contribute positively to building this resilience. However, the direct relationship between family health care function and family resilience remains underexplored, especially in the Indonesian context. Understanding this relationship is important for developing family-based interventions to promote health and resilience. Therefore, this study aims to examine the correlation between family health care function and family resilience. Objectives This study aims to determine the relationship between the implementation of family health care functions and family reliability. Methods The design of this study is a correlation study with the type of analytical correlation research through a cross sectional study approach Results The results of the bivariate analysis can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between health care function and family resilience in respondents (p = 0.001). The results of the multivariate analysis can be concluded that respondents who have a high income have a 15,897 times chance of having good family reliability compared to those who have a low income. Conclusion The family needs to improve the function of family health care where the family must recognize health problems experienced by family members.

Abstract

High blood pressure during pregnancy, such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, is a serious complication that can pose risks to both the mother and fetus. Foot reflexology has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological intervention to help manage blood pressure. This study aimed to systematically review the effectiveness of reflexology therapy in reducing blood pressure among pregnant women. A systematic review was conducted using 18 scientific articles published between 2013 and 2024, retrieved from Google Scholar and PubMed databases. The selected articles included both quantitative and qualitative studies focusing on the use of reflexology as an intervention for managing blood pressure during pregnancy. The data analyzed covered research design, sample size, intervention protocols, and blood pressure outcomes. The findings indicate that foot reflexology consistently reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, especially in pregnant women with gestational hypertension. The mechanism of reflexology involves stimulating specific reflex points related to the cardiovascular and endocrine systems, as well as activating the parasympathetic nervous system to promote relaxation and stress reduction. Reflexology has also been shown to be safe, as it does not induce uterine contractions, and can be effectively combined with other non-pharmacological therapies such as warm foot soaks and aromatherapy for optimal results. Although further research with stronger study designs is needed, current evidence supports the use of reflexology as a complementary therapy in managing blood pressure during pregnancy.

Abstract

Breast milk production is a physiological process strongly influenced by maternal psychological conditions such as stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and sleep quality. Psychological disturbances have been shown to interfere with hormonal reflexes essential for lactation—particularly oxytocin and prolactin—thereby affecting both the smoothness and volume of milk production. This study employs a systematic review method to analyze scientific articles published between 2013 and 2024 in both Indonesian and English, focusing on the psychological factors affecting breastfeeding. Articles were sourced from Google Scholar and PubMed, screened using defined inclusion criteria, and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that most studies report a significant negative correlation between stress, anxiety, and breast milk production, especially during the early postpartum period. However, some studies report inconsistent results, likely due to moderating factors such as social support, prior breastfeeding experience, employment status, and maternal coping mechanisms. In addition, sleep quality, breastfeeding behavior, and physical comfort also contribute to breastfeeding success. These results highlight the need for a holistic approach in maternal health services, including psychosocial interventions, behavioral education, and support from family and workplaces, to address psychological barriers that hinder successful breastfeeding.

Abstract

Anemia is a prevalent health issue among adolescent girls, particularly in developing countries, with serious consequences for growth, cognitive function, and overall well-being. As this group undergoes critical physical development and prepares for future reproductive health, effective prevention strategies are essential. Health education has been widely recognized as a key intervention to improve awareness, knowledge, and behavioral changes related to iron intake and nutrition. This study systematically reviews 18 eligible articles published between 2013 and 2024 that examine the effectiveness of various educational media in preventing anemia among adolescent girls. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed with relevant keywords in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. The included studies utilize different methodologies, such as quasi-experimental designs, participatory action research (PAR), and media development. Various educational media were analyzed, including leaflets, posters, videos, mobile applications, and interactive tools like educational games. The findings consistently demonstrate that educational interventions, particularly those utilizing digital and interactive media, effectively enhance knowledge, foster positive attitudes, and promote healthier behaviors. Approaches that actively involve participants, such as PAR, further improve engagement and personal responsibility for health. To maximize effectiveness, future programs should expand the use of digital platforms, such as social media and gamified learning tools, which have been shown to sustain attention and motivation. Additionally, integrating culturally relevant and community-based educational strategies can further enhance the long-term impact of anemia prevention efforts among adolescent girls.

Abstract

Labor pain is one of the most intense forms of acute pain experienced by women and can have significant physical and psychological impacts. Although pharmacological methods such as epidural anesthesia are effective in relieving pain, their use is associated with potential side effects and limitations in resources, particularly in healthcare facilities with restricted access. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in managing labor pain, as well as to review the methods of application, timing of administration, and associated psychological effects based on empirical evidence from various studies. This literature review analyzed 17 scientific articles employing various research designs, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental studies, comparative studies, and systematic reviews. Data sources were derived from both national and international journals relevant to the topic of lavender aromatherapy and labor pain. The findings indicate that lavender aromatherapy consistently reduces labor pain intensity, particularly when applied during the active phase of the first stage of labor. Additionally, it has anxiolytic effects that help alleviate maternal anxiety. Its combination with other techniques such as effleurage massage enhances analgesic efficacy by stimulating beta-endorphin production. Lavender aromatherapy also offers flexibility in its application methods, including inhalation, topical massage, and ambient diffusion. Lavender aromatherapy is a safe, effective, and easily implemented non-pharmacological approach to holistic labor pain management. It supports both the physical and emotional well-being of mothers throughout the childbirth process.
