Abstract

Introduction. Providing medicines information is necessary to improve patient compliance and therapeutic efficiency. Limited knowledge regarding the correct use of medicines may lead to medication errors. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of providing medicines information at the Semarang City sub-primary health centers. Method. This study is a descriptive non-experimental study with a cross-sectional method. Sampling of patients by accidental sampling with samples of sub-primary health centers was conducted by simple random sampling, consisting of 17 sub-primary health centers. The independent variables in this research are respondents characteristics, while the dependent variables include medicine name, preparation, dosage, usage, storage, indications, contraindications, side effects, stability, and medicine interactions. Data collection was conducted observationally through an observation sheet containing a list of medicines information as specified in Regulation of the Minister of Health and Human Rights No. 74/2016 concerning Pharmaceutical Service Standards at the Health Center. Data analysis was conducted descriptively. Result & Analysis. The results indicated that the majority of medicines information was provided by non-pharmacy personnel (71%). The most common medicines information conveyed was dosage, how to use, and medicines indications. There were three sub-primary health centers with moderate levels of implementation of medicines information provision with 61.7%, 60%, and 33.7%, respectively. Discussion. The implementation of medicines information provision to patients in Semarang City sub-primary health centers has not been fully implemented. The most common components of medicines information include dosage, how to use, and indication, while the least common are medicines name, medicines preparation, storage, side effects, contraindications, stability, and medicines interactions.

Abstract

  Introduction. Obesity is a condition marked by excessive fat accumulation that threatens health. In Indonesia, obesity among children aged 9–12 years is becoming a significant public health concern. Contributing factors include lack of physical activity, excessive gadget use, and poor dietary habits. Obese children are at higher risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and mental health issues. Lifestyle changes and limited awareness about balanced activities, screen time, and nutrition further exacerbate the problem. This study aims to examine the influence of physical activity, gadget use, and dietary patterns on obesity among school-aged children. Method. A quantitative, cross-sectional approach was used with a sample of 37 obese students aged 9–12 years, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using standardized instruments: PAQ-C for physical activity, SAS for gadget use, and a dietary pattern questionnaire. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression. Result&Analysis. The results showed that physical activity, gadget use, and dietary patterns each had a significant effect on obesity (p < 0.05). Low physical activity and high gadget use were associated with higher obesity levels, while healthy dietary patterns had a protective effect. Gadget use was the most dominant factor. Discussion. The study confirms that lifestyle factors significantly contribute to childhood obesity. Excessive gadget use, in particular, reduces physical activity and increases obesity risk. Preventive efforts involving parents, schools, and health professionals are crucial to fostering healthy habits in children.

Abstract

Introduction. Rectal washing is a routine procedure in bowel preparation but may cause complications, especially in high-risk patients. This report discusses a case of fatal complications following rectal washing in a patient with a malignant rectosigmoid tumor and comorbidities, emphasizing the potential risks of hypokalemia and cardiac instability. Method. A case study was conducted on a 65-year-old male with chronic heart failure and suspected rectosigmoid malignancy, who underwent colonoscopy at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. Comprehensive clinical data were obtained, including detailed medical history, physical examination, laboratory testing, imaging studies (ultrasound and CT scan), and colonoscopy with biopsy. Management adhered to established protocols for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, chronic heart failure, partial bowel obstruction, and suspected metastatic rectosigmoid carcinoma. The patient's condition was closely monitored through continuous assessment of vital signs, clinical progression, and follow-up diagnostics. Result & Analysis. The case highlights the interplay of rectal washing, electrolyte imbalance (suspected hypokalemia), and cardiac arrhythmia in a high-risk patient. Contributing factors such as metastatic burden and comorbidities compounded the fatal outcome. Discussion. This case underscores the need for vigilant monitoring and tailored bowel preparation strategies in patients with significant comorbidities to mitigate life-threatening complications.
