Abstract

Pharmaceutical services in hospitals are crucial in ensuring the quality of healthcare delivery. One key performance indicator is waiting time in prescription services, which directly impacts patient satisfaction and compliance. This study evaluates the implementation of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) related to pharmacy waiting time in outpatient services at RSUD Patut Patuh Patju Gerung. The research employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, collecting 100 prescriptions (June–July 2025) to assess compliance with national standards. Findings indicate that the average waiting time for non-compounded prescriptions was 62.6 minutes (SD 33.8) and compounded prescriptions 63.9 minutes (SD 37.9), both exceeding the stipulated SPM (≤30 minutes for non-compounded, ≤60 minutes for compounded). These results highlight operational inefficiencies and resource constraints affecting compliance. The study concludes by recommending improvements in staffing, workflow optimization, and adoption of digital systems to enhance pharmaceutical service performance.

Abstract

Ashitaba (Angelica keiskei Koidz.) is a medicinal plant known to be rich in active flavonoid compounds, particularly chalcones, which exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic activities. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid content in Ashitaba leaf extract obtained from Sembalun Village using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol. Quantitative analysis was performed at the maximum wavelength of 415 nm, with quercetin as the standard. Calibration curves were prepared using quercetin concentrations of 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 ppm on the X-axis, with absorbance values of 0.297, 0.337, 0.436, 0.509, and 0.588 on the Y-axis, resulting in the regression equation Y = 0.0094x + 0.0472 with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9677, indicating a linear relationship between concentration and absorbance. Absorbance values of the sample measured in triplicate were 0.661, 0.634, and 0.676, yielding an average total flavonoid content of 25.948 mgQE/g in Ashitaba leaf extract.

Abstract

Gout arthritis is a prevalent inflammatory joint disease characterized by hyperuricemia and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joints, leading to acute pain and impaired mobility. Conventional management primarily relies on pharmacological therapy such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While effective, long-term use of these drugs carries risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, renal impairment, and cardiovascular complications. This underscores the need for non-pharmacological alternatives that are safe, cost-effective, and culturally adaptable. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains bioactive compounds—gingerol, shogaol, and zingerone—that exhibit anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ginger decoction compress in reducing pain among patients with gout arthritis in Sunggaling Hamlet. A quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design was applied, involving 44 purposively selected participants. The intervention group (n = 22) received ginger decoction compresses for three consecutive days, while the control group (n = 22) received standard care. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results showed a significant reduction in pain intensity in the intervention group (from a mean VAS score of 7.2 to 3.1, p < 0.05), whereas the control group showed no meaningful change. These findings support the use of ginger decoction compress as a complementary nursing intervention for pain management in gout arthritis patients.

Abstract

Efficient pharmaceutical services are essential in hospitals to ensure patient satisfaction and improve healthcare outcomes. Prescription waiting time, both compounded and non-compounded, is a critical indicator of pharmacy service quality. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between prescription waiting times and patient satisfaction at the outpatient pharmacy of RSUD Awet Muda Narmada. Using a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, 100 patients were selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and direct time measurements, then analyzed with Chi-Square tests. Results revealed that 80% of respondents were very satisfied with services received, and 95% experienced acceptable waiting times. The average waiting time was 41.7 minutes for compounded prescriptions and 12.3 minutes for non-compounded prescriptions. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship (p=0.000) between waiting time and patient satisfaction. These findings suggest that efficient waiting time management significantly influences satisfaction levels. Therefore, optimizing pharmacy workflow, increasing human resources, and adopting technology-based systems may further enhance service quality and patient experiences.

Abstract

Postpartum psychosis (PPP) is a severe mental health disorder characterized by the acute onset of psychotic symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and mood disturbances shortly after childbirth. Although it affects 1-2 per 1,000 women globally, its impact is particularly severe in low-resource settings like Nigeria, where cultural stigma, limited mental health infrastructure, and low awareness lead to under diagnosis and poor outcomes. This study aimed to assess the awareness of puerperal psychosis among pregnant women attending the Antenatal Care (ANC) unit at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) in Bauchi, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was employed, and data were collected from 129 respondents selected via simple random sampling, using a structured questionnaire. The results indicated that while a majority (71.32%) of respondents had heard of postpartum psychosis, there was a significant deficit in detailed knowledge. Only 56.53% could accurately define it as a severe mental disorder post-childbirth, and misconceptions about causes and symptoms were common. Key risk factors such as sleep deprivation, family history of bipolar disorder, and impaired mother-infant bonding were correctly identified by most. For prevention, respondents strongly endorsed educational programs, postnatal screening for high-risk women, frequent ANC visits, family support, and ensuring adequate rest. The study concludes that despite basic recognition of PPP, profound knowledge gaps persist among pregnant women in this setting. It underscores the urgent need for integrated, educational interventions during antenatal care and the routine inclusion of mental health screenings to facilitate early identification, management, and ultimately, improved maternal and infant outcomes in Northern Nigeria.

Abstract

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving intervention required to sustain circulation and oxygenation during cardiac arrest, especially within clinical and community settings where nurses often serve as first responders. Ensuring adequate CPR knowledge and competence among student nurses is therefore an essential component of nursing education and professional preparedness. This study assessed the level of knowledge, practice, and factors influencing CPR competency among student nurses in Aliko Dangote College of Nursing Sciences, Bauchi State. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and a stratified random sampling technique was employed to select 171 respondents from a target population of 597 students. Data were collected using a structured, validated, and reliable questionnaire, and analyzed using simple frequency distribution and percentages. Findings revealed that more than half of the respondents demonstrated good knowledge of CPR, including awareness of the recommended CAB sequence, appropriate depth of chest compressions, and use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The study also showed that over 55% of student nurses possessed satisfactory CPR practice skills, such as correct hand placement, adherence to the 30:2 compression-to-ventilation ratio, and understanding the importance of full chest recoil. However, gaps were identified in areas such as advanced steps of CPR, sustained practical competence, and consistent exposure to hands-on training. The study further identified several factors influencing CPR practice, including inadequate simulation resources, limited access to trained instructors, and insufficient practical opportunities. Respondents strongly agreed that CPR competence can be improved through simulation-based learning, peer-led training, digital media support, and incentive-based motivation. The study concludes that while CPR knowledge among student nurses is generally high, practical proficiency requires further strengthening. It recommends enhanced training programs, provision of adequate learning resources, regular refresher sessions, and improved supervision to bridge the knowledge–practice gap and improve overall CPR competence among nursing students.
