Abstract

Facial skin is prone to dryness due to UV radiation, which accelerates premature aging (photoaging) and triggers various skin problems such as atopic dermatitis. In Indonesia, the prevalence of dry skin reaches 50%–80%. Several commercial toner products still contain alcohol, which can further dry the skin when used for a long period of time. Therefore, natural ingredients with moisturizing effects are needed, one of which is Strobilanthes crispus (keji beling) leaves, containing flavonoids with antioxidant activity. This study aimed to determine the effect of varying concentrations of Tween 80 surfactant on the stability of toner formulations. The research method was experimental, formulating four formulas with surfactant concentrations of 0% (F0), 5% (FI), 7.5% (FII), and 10% (FIII), followed by stability testing using the cycling test and evaluating organoleptic properties, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, irritation, and hedonic acceptance. The organoleptic evaluation showed that FI, FII, and FIII produced clear yellowish-green liquid preparations with a characteristic odor of keji beling leaves, whereas F0 produced a dark green liquid with the same odor. All formulas were homogeneous with a pH of 5. The viscosity values were 1.72 cPs for FI, 1.82 cPs for FII, 2.37 cPs for FIII, and 1.35 cPs for F0. Irritation testing showed negative results for all formulas, indicating no signs of primary irritation. Hedonic testing revealed that FIII was the most preferred by panelists. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the formula containing 10% polysorbate (FIII) provided the best physical stability and panelist acceptance. Thus, variation in surfactant concentration affects the physical stability of Strobilanthes crispus leaf extract toner formulations.

Abstract

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that can be caused by microorganisms including fungi, viruses, bacteria, and mycobacteria. In addition, chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract can be characterized by wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing accompanied by flu. To evaluate the rational use of antibiotics, the Gyssens method was developed, which includes the appropriate selection of antibiotics based on effectiveness, toxicity, lower cost, narrower spectrum, duration of administration, dose, interval, route, and timing of administration. A patient's improvement or lack thereof can be assessed based on body temperature, white blood cell count, respiratory rate, and clinical symptoms. The study design is non-experimental (observational) with a cross-sectional study design. Data collection was conducted retrospectively using data from medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with pneumonia at Dr. R. Soedjati Purwodadi General Hospital, with a total of 110 pediatric patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The results showed that 38 patients (34.55%) received antibiotics irrationally, with the most inaccuracies in the drug selection category (IV A, IV C, and IV D). A total of 72 users (65.45%) were rational and 38 users (34.55%) were irrational. The results of statistical analysis of the data using the Chi-Square test show that these results were obtained from the Exact Sig (2-sided) value, namely p = 0.003 (p < 0.05), so it can be interpreted that there is a rational relationship between the use of antibiotics and the success of therapy in pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: Neonates are children aged 0 to 28 days. Efforts to establish a healthy lifestyle should begin during the neonatal period, as this is a stage of rapid growth and development. The mother's role is crucial as the primary caregiver, supporting the baby's physical, social, and emotional development. To address various challenges in infants, mothers are required to possess good knowledge and skills in caring for their babies. Objective: To determine the correlation between knowledge, education, and parity on the ability to care for newborns at the Sunggal Primary Clinic. Methods: This study was a quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct interviews with 60 respondents. Data analysis employed univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, supplemented with the association measure Prevalence Ratio (PR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results: The bivariate analysis results showed that education (p = 0.000; PR = 3.58; 95% CI: 1.45-8.83), knowledge (p = 0.000), and parity (p = 0.000; PR = 2.79; 95% CI: 1.83-4.24) were significantly associated with the ability to care for newborns. The PR values indicate that mothers with higher education were 3.58 times more likely to be capable of caring for their babies, and mothers with higher parity were 2.79 times more likely. Conclusion: The variables of education, knowledge, and parity have a significant and meaningful relationship with maternal competence in caring for neonates. Education and parity demonstrate a strong influence on the ability to care for newborns.

Abstract

Background: The period from birth to five years of age is known as the golden period, a crucial phase for a child’s growth and development. During this stage, developmental monitoring—particularly of cognitive aspects—is essential as a foundation for the child’s future. Tactile sensory play is one form of stimulation that contributes to infants’ cognitive development. A lack of stimulation may hinder this development. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of tactile sensory play on the cognitive development of infants aged 12–15 months in Mekar Sari Village, Deli Tua District. Method: This study employed a quantitative design using a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 respondents selected through accidental sampling. The tactile sensory play intervention was administered three times. Data were collected through observation using observation sheets and analyzed using a t-test with SPSS software. Results: The t-test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of tactile sensory play on the cognitive development of infants aged 12–15 months in Mekar Sari Village, Deli Tua District. Conclusion: Tactile sensory play is effective in improving the cognitive development of infants aged 12–15 months.

Abstract

Background: Lip balm is a cosmetic preparation containing key components such as waxes, fats, and oils—derived from either natural or synthetic extracts—to prevent lip dryness by enhancing moisture and protecting against harmful environmental factors. The red shoot plant (Syzygium myrtifolium Walp.) is commonly known as an ornamental plant but also contains beneficial chemical compounds. Objective: This study aims to formulate red shoot leaf ethanol extract into a lip balm with good physical quality, sun protection capability, and moisturizing effects. Methods: This research uses an experimental method with quantitative and qualitative data collection. The stages include simplicia characterization, secondary metabolite identification, extract preparation through maceration, lip balm formulation, and evaluation of physical quality (organoleptic test, homogeneity, pH, stability, irritation, melting point, and hedonic test), moisture test, and Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value determination. Results: The red shoot leaf extract was successfully formulated into a stick lip balm at concentrations of 5%, 7%, and 10%. The formulas demonstrated good physical quality in all tests, increased lip moisture and oil content (especially at 10% concentration), and high SPF values with ultra protection at the 10% concentration. Conclusion: Red shoot leaf extract (Syzygium myrtifolium Walp.) can be used as an active ingredient in lip balm, providing optimal physical quality, moisturizing effects, and UV radiation protection.
