  Abstract

  Hypertension is a condition where systolic blood pressure increases to more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure to more than 90 mmHg. Compliance with antihypertensive medication is crucial. Hypertension cannot be cured and must be consistently monitored to prevent complications that can lead to death. One of the factors that can affect the level of medication adherence in patients is the patient's sociodemographics including age, gender, educational level and employment status. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of sociodemography on compliance with antihypertensive use in hypertensive patients at Puri Husada Tembilahan Hospital. This research is an observational study with a cross-sectional research design with analytic descriptive method. The sample in this study were patients with a primary diagnosis of hypertension with or without comorbidities who went to the Puri Husada Tembilahan Hospital at the time of the study and met the inclusion criteria. Based on the results of the study it was found that of the 4 sociodemographic aspects studied, namely age, gender, education level and employment status, only education level affected the level of adherence to taking medication in hypertensive patients (P value = 0.000), where respondents with higher education levels had higher levels of higher adherence than respondents with low levels of education.

  Abstract

  Telepharmacy offers a promising solution to overcome the geographical limitations of traditional pharmacies. However, concerns regarding the quality of services delivered through telepharmacy highlight the need for a comprehensive evaluation of patient satisfaction. This study aimed to compare patient satisfaction between telepharmacy and conventional pharmacy services and to identify areas for improvement. A cross-sectional study was conducted in March and April 2024, involving a sample of 136 customers from the Atma Jaya Teaching Pharmacy in North Jakarta. Patient satisfaction was measured using a validated questionnaire, and key satisfaction dimensions were identified through Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). The analysis revealed that both telepharmacy and conventional pharmacy services demonstrated strengths in the dimensions of Assurance and Responsiveness, which are critical to customer satisfaction (quadrant II : keep up the good work). Meanwhile, Reliability and Empathy were perceived as less important in both service models (quadrant III : low priority). The Tangible dimension, however, was identified as an area requiring improvement (quadrant I : concentrate here). These findings suggest that telepharmacy can provide patient satisfaction comparable to conventional pharmacies, particularly in the dimensions of Assurance and Responsiveness. However, the Tangible dimension remains a key area for improvement.

Parts of this plant like leaves, bark, and flower, indicates potential biological activity like antiinflammation, antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antiproliferative. but its pharmacognostic and phytochemical characterization remains limited, especially in the leaves. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacognostic characteristics and phytochemical content of T. rosea leaves as a basis for standardization. Fresh T. rosea leaves were collected, dried, and ground into a fine powder. Evaluations included organoleptic and macroscopic analysis, microscopic examination, moisture content, total ash content, and phytochemical screening for secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, coumarins, triterpenoids, and phenolics. The leaves exhibited a lanceolate shape with smooth margins, pointed tips, and pinnate venation. Microscopic analysis revealed diagnostic features such as trichomes, calcium oxalate crystals, and parenchyma. The moisture content was 7.8%, and total ash content was 11.91%. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, phenolics, and alkaloids, while saponins and coumarins were not detected. This study provides fundamental data for the identification and standardization of T. rosea leaf simplisia. The presence of bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids and alkaloids, supports its potential as a phytopharmaceutical raw material. Further research is needed to isolate and evaluate the pharmacological activities of these compounds.

  Abstract

  Cough is a common symptom among toddlers, triggered by factors such as air pollution, weather changes, and allergies. In Tangerang, the prevalence of coughs in toddlers is notably high, leading many mothers to self-medicate their children. This study aims to assess the relationship between the mothers' knowledge and their self-medication behavior for treating toddler coughs at a pharmacy in Tangerang. This analytical observational study used a cross-sectional study involving 80 respondents. The data were collected through questionnaires, and univariate analysis was conducted to determine the frequency distribution of respondents by age, education, occupation, and sources of information regarding self-medication. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square method was employed to examine the relationships between these variables. The study found that most respondents were aged 18-44 years, with 38% having completed high school, 81.25% working as housewives, and 42.5% receiving information about self-medication from healthcare professionals. Despite 62.5% of the respondents having low knowledge about cough self-medication, 60% of them exhibited positive self-medication practices for treating coughs in toddlers. The analysis revealed no significant relationship between the mothers' knowledge levels and their self-medication behavior. In conclusion, the majority of mothers at Apotek Bintang Tangerang possess limited knowledge about self-medicating toddler coughs, yet they demonstrate positive self-medication behavior. Additionally, there is no significant correlation between their knowledge level and their behavior.
