Abstract

Vancomycin possesses not only a narrow therapeutic range but also nephrotoxic effects, thus requiring intensive monitoring. This study aims to analyze the vancomycin use among the inpatients of a referral in Indonesia. This retrospective cross-sectional research collected a two-year data from medical records. The research involved all the patients who met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the 90 patients receiving vancomycin were men with the most age range of 18-60 years. The dominant indication of vancomycin use was sepsis typically caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus haemolyticus. Meanwhile, the vancomycin dosing for the 1-<18 age range was mostly based on actual body weight, whereas that for other age categories took into account renal function. The effectiveness of vancomycin based on White Blood Cells and neutrophils was shown in 34.88% of patients examined for both parameters. In addition, 6.25% of the patients given a platelet count experienced suspected vancomycin-induced thrombocytopenia. No incidence of vancomycin-induced neutropenia and nephrotoxicity was found. Given that the risk of nephrotoxicity and the effectiveness of vancomycin are influenced by the steady-state concentrations and the area under the curve, this study recommends hospitals in Indonesia to provide Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) services.

Abstract

Many young women are affected by anaemia, a health issue that is prevalent worldwide. Adolescent females are ten times more susceptible to anaemia due to their tendency to disregard their health issues, which leads to a significant number of anaemia cases each year. In order to prevent anaemia, it is imperative to disseminate information through effective information media, including booklets, pamphlets, and video media. To increase the awareness of the significance of consuming blood-increasing medications and to increase the knowledge of young women. The objective of this investigation is to ascertain the efficacy of disseminating information media regarding awareness of anaemia and adherence to the consumption of Blood Increasing Tablets among young women. The research design employed is Scoping Review. A scoping review is a preliminary step in the process of conducting a systematic review, which is designed to identify the categories of evidence that are currently available on the subject matter. They employed the PRISMA-ScR framework to conduct a search for articles in pertinent databases. The study demonstrated that the provision of information media, including leaflets and videos, substantially increased the adherence of young women to the consumption of Blood Increasing Tablets and their understanding of anaemia. Video media is the most effective category of information media intervention in terms of increasing the knowledge and consumption of Blood Tablets.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and validate healthy school indicators based on Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) in Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The research employs a mixed-method approach with Sequential Explanatory Research design. The qualitative phase involves in-depth interviews with Muhammadiyah scholars to explore AIK's perspective on health and identify initial healthy school indicators. The quantitative phase validates these indicators through a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire distributed to Muhammadiyah schools in Sidenreng Rappang. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess the validity and reliability of the indicators. The findings reveal four main pillars of health from the AIK perspective: physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental health. The developed indicators include balanced nutrition programs, regular physical activity, counseling, religious education, and environmental management. CFA results indicate that the indicators are valid and reliable, with Composite Reliability (CR) and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) meeting the required standards. The implementation of these indicators is expected to create a holistic health-supportive school environment, reinforcing students' physical, mental, spiritual, and environmental well-being. This study significantly contributes to the development of healthy school concepts in Indonesia, aligned with Islamic values, and provides a foundation for health policy and programs in Islamic-based schools to enhance overall student health and well-being.

Abstract

The evolution of wound dressings has shifted from simply covering wounds to maintaining a moist environment. Chitosan, derived from chitin, and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) are well-known for their roles in wound healing. Chitosan is used due to its natural polymer properties, and ZnO is used to promote cell growth. This study investigates the effectiveness of chitosan zinc oxide cream as a primary dressing to enhance wound healing in diabetic ulcers. This quantitative research method uses a clinical retrospective cohort design. The sample used 235 verified medical records from 2018 to 2023, namely medical records of patients with stage III-IV diabetic wounds who received a primary dressing of chitosan zinc cream every 2-3 days and there was also documentation of the results of the bates-Jensen wound assessment at the first visit and a minimum of four weeks of treatment. The analysis included univariate and bivariate analyses to correlate treatment with healing progress. The results showed significant improvement (p<0.001) in wound condition after treatment with chitosan zinc oxide cream, including a reduction in wound size and depth, faster removal of necrotic tissue, and increased granulation and formation of epithelial tissue. These findings highlight the efficacy of the cream in treating diabetic ulcers, although further research is needed for other types of cancerous wounds, pressure ulcers, and chronic wounds.

Abstract

Wound care in a moist environment is superior to a dry environment. Appropriate wound care methods can help accelerate the healing of gangrenous wounds. This study aimed to determine diabetic wound healing using the modern hydrocolloid dressing method. This experimental research design utilized pre-test and post-test techniques to assess the difference in the effect of gangrene wound care with modern hydrocolloid dressings on gangrene wound healing in diabetic patients. The study was conducted at USU Teaching Hospital Medan for 14 days, involving 20 respondents with Type II DM patients experiencing gangrene wounds, obtained through non-probability sampling. Data analysis was performed using the independent t-test. The results showed a significant difference in gangrene wound care with the modern hydrocolloid dressing method (p < 0.05). The modern hydrocolloid dressing method led to faster healing of gangrene wounds. Conclusion: respondents who used the modern hydrocolloid dressing method experienced better wound status development and faster healing. It is expected that hospitals will plan and establish SOPs for wound care in DM patients with gangrene using modern hydrocolloid dressings and reduce the use of conventional methods. These implications highlight the importance of implementing modern methods in wound care protocols for patients with diabetes mellitus with gangrene, mainly to prevent amputation and improve patients' quality of life. Recommendations include the implementation of modern wound care SOPs, training for health workers, patient and family education, further research, and the procurement of modern dressings.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is critical for the health of both mothers and infants, with global recommendations supporting exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. This study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and challenges faced by pregnant women in Surakarta.: Five women between 28 and 36 weeks of gestation were recruited using snowball sampling, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis, conducted using NVivo 12. Revealed that while participants generally demonstrated a high level of preparedness for breastfeeding, challenges such as public discomfort, inconsistent readiness, and emotional uncertainties persisted. The support of their husbands was felt to be crucial by the participants in this study. However, as the study involved only five pregnant women, the findings should be interpreted with caution, and may not be generalizable to a wider population. Nonetheless, this study suggests that emphasis should be placed on addressing the individual needs of mothers and providing appropriate support interventions to help overcome emotional and logistical barriers, which could enhance effective breastfeeding practices in similar contexts.
