Murwati Murwati, Suroso Suroso, Nur Atikah — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Self-medication practices can be a source of medication errors, especially for nursing mothers, because almost all drugs taken by nursing mothers are detected in breast milk, even though the concentrations are low. It can be prevented by identifying the determinants of self-medication.

Methods: This study is a cross-sectional quantitative analytic study. A sample of 150 mothers was choosen by purposive sampling with the criteria for breastfeeding a baby with a maximum age of 6 months. The instrument used is a questionnaire on the determinants of self-medication behavior in breastfeeding mothers. The questionnaire has been tested for validity with Pearson's test (p < 0.05) and reliability with Chronbach's alpha (0.78). Data analysis with chi-square and multivariate tests

Results: The statistical analysis showed a significant association between education level, medical history, drug price, and information media and self-medication behavior in breastfeeding mothers. However, those that had an impact were the history of the disease (p = 0.014), education level (p = 0.024), and drug price (p = 0.006).

Conclusion: The determinants of self-medication behavior in breastfeeding mothers were disease history, drug prices, and education. Further research is needed regarding the rationality of self-medication to determine the optimization and safety of drugs used by breastfeeding mothers.

Reinpal Falefi, Hikmat Zakky Almubaraq, Susilawati Susilawati — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Indonesia is a country with low COVID-19 vaccination coverage from 2020 through 2021. Different sociodemographic conditions determine the success of vaccination in suppressing the transmission of COVID-19. This systematic review aims to identify the reasons for the refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine among the general and vulnerable communities in Indonesia.

Methods: This study uses a systematic review method using PubMed and Google Scholar. The keywords used are COVID-19 vaccine, acceptance, determinant, and Indonesia. The article, which was specifically researched, presents the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in Indonesia only in 2020 and 2021. Elicit information from found articles to form conclusions for each article.

Results: Based on 12 studies, the main causes of the rejection of the COVID-19 vaccine in Indonesia are knowledge and negative attitudes. In the aspect of knowledge, three things become problems, namely fear of the side effects of vaccination, doubts about the effectiveness of vaccines, and doubts about vaccine safety. Negative attitudes are influenced by propaganda and conspiracies.

Conclusion: The general population and vulnerable people in Indonesia are more likely to reject the COVID-19 vaccine, so the target for mass vaccination is not achieved, the main reasons being knowledge and perception. Control strategies and invitations for specific COVID-19 vaccinations are critical in order to get the general public and vulnerable populations to participate in vaccination activities.

Pika Novriani Lubis, Ratna Djuwita — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Background: As developing countries, family planning program services in Southeast Asia through 2019 are already excellent, with a user rate of 65% and a user satisfaction rate of 90%. However, Indonesia's unmet contraceptive need rate has remained stagnant for the last ten years.

Methods: A systematic online search was carried out in four databases: Pubmed, EMBASE, Proquest, and Sage Journal, as well as Google Scholar. The keywords used were unmet need, gap, non-use, challenge, barrier, birth spacing, birth limiting, birth interval, pregnancy interval, fertility control, birth limiting, family planning, and contraception. A search was limited to articles written in English and Indonesian published in the recent five years, with the population setting its domicile in Indonesia. Selection data was guided by a PRISMA flow diagram and assisted by the specialized systematic review software Rayyan.

Results: Of 571 articles, 7 matched the inclusion criteria and contained 32 unmet need associations. According to our findings, unmet contraceptive need in Indonesia is set by five factors: the level of the woman, the level of her partner, the level of the couple, the level of the household, and lastly, the level of the program or health services.

Conclusion: Using a local language approach, invigorating family planning field officers, and embedding in premarital counseling and school education, this recent evidence can be used to renew the family program planning strategy and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Thu, 29 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Background: In the last few decades, there has been a significant increase in customers’ interest in skin care, including anti-aging. One of the skin care substances, vitamin D3, has a positive impact on the skin, such as the keratinocyte differentiation effect to maintain the skin barrier and the hydration effect to keep the skin moist. Vitamin D3 has a high lipophilicity, so it is considered ideal to formulate in the self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS). The higher solubility of vitamin D3 in the SNEDDS oil component could improve its penetration through the skin. The SNEDDS is a primary dosage form that can be entrapped in semisolid base dosage forms, such as cream, lotion, or gel. SNEDDS vitamin D3 needs to be optimized to obtain the appropriate composition of the components: oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant.

Methods: The D-Optimal Mixture method using Design Expert 10 software had been chosen as an optimization tool for SNEDDS vitamin D3.

Results: The composition of the optimum formula was obtained as follows: 1.0351 g Miglyol 812 N; 3.0637 g Tween 80 and 0.9011 g PEG 400. The optimum formula has a particle size of 32.62 nm ± 1.80 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.31 ± 0.03.

Conclusion: The release test was carried out with the help of a Franz diffusion cell instrument, a cellophane membrane, and phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.4 containing 0.5% Tween 80. The cumulative amount of vitamin D3 released per minute (Flux) was 0.10 µg/min.

Nutrisia Aquariushinta Sayuti, Nur - Atikah — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Background: COVID-19 delivers the effects of health services in form. Health services began to enforce health protocols, especially social distancing. Medical consultations carried out during medical visits become remote medical consultations by maximizing electronic health technology (e-health), telehealth, and/or telemedicine. The use of health technology has increased research on telemedicine’s effectiveness on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of telemedicine in improving the quality of life of chronic disease patients that require regular visits to health providers during the COVID-19 pandemic during Covid-19 Pandemic.

Methods: The research was descriptive. A systematic review with source data from Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Sage databases with the keyword "COVID-19 and telemedicine and health-related quality of life". Criteria were limited to all clinical study articles published during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesian or English and published during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results: Eleven (11) articles were successfully selected. Telemedicine was used for kidney transplantation or minor stroke patients, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cancer, adrenal insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and primary antibody deficiency patients. The instruments used to measure HRQoL were generic (the EQ-5D and SF-36) and specific for some diseases. The results showed that telemedicine could maintain HRQoL and reduce depression or anxiety.

Conclusion: Telemedicine is a feasible and effective intervention to maintain HRQoL and reduce the consequences of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The recommendation is telemedicine must continue to be developed in health services even though the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

Jasmine Kartiko Pertiwi, Afif Ghufroni — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Background: The existence of this muscle shortening is often found in students, who rarely exercise because of a lack of awareness to move. If it occurs continuously, it will result in a decrease in functional movement and muscle shortening, especially in the hamstring muscles.

Methods: At the Ministry of Health Surakarta 2020 Polytechnic, this study used student subjects aged 15 to 23 years with overweight conditions and functional impairment of the hamstrings. This research (sapphire walk test) was a study with a two-group treatment design and a pre-and post-test design. analyzed the data to find out the difference between pre-and post-test group 1 (tapping and PIR) using a paired t-test and group 2 (tapping and RI) using a pre-and post-Wilcoxon test because the data distribution was not normal on the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) values and the test t is paired because the data distribution is normal on the value of the BSSNRT (back saver sit and reach test).

Results: Administration of neuromuscular taping and post-isometric relaxation and neuromuscular taping and reciprocal inhibition both had a good effect on reducing pain (p = 0.863). and both had a good effect on increasing hamstring flexibility in overweight adolescents (p = 0.786).

Conclusion: The clinical implications that can be applied from this study are that there are different effects of neuromuscular taping and post-isometric relaxation with neuromuscular taping and reciprocal inhibition in reducing pain and increasing hamstring flexibility in overweight adolescents. This is an effective intervention option for overweight adolescents with impaired hamstring function.
