    Abstract

    Indonesia experiences an alarming increase in mental disorder cases annually. In 2019, the World Health Organization reported that over 20 million individuals worldwide suffer from schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications are the preferred treatment option for schizophrenia, as they help alleviate psychotic symptoms and reduce the likelihood of developing the disorder. This study aimed to describe the use of antipsychotic drugs in patients with schizophrenia in the inpatient ward of the Mental Hospital of West Java Province. The study employed a non-experimental, descriptive design with retrospective data collection. Secondary data were used for analysis. The research focused on 194 medical records of patients who received antipsychotic treatment between January and December 2020. The study revealed that 56.19% of prescribed antipsychotic drugs were combination medications, while 43.81% were single drugs. The most common combination of antipsychotic drugs was haloperidol-clozapine, accounting for 36.60% of the prescriptions, and risperidone, a single drug, comprised 19.67% of the prescriptions.

    Abstract

    Antioxidants are important bioactive compounds that play a key role in neutralizing free radicals and preventing oxidative damage to cells. Bauhinia purpurea L., locally known as butterfly tree leaves, has been reported to contain various phenolic and flavonoid compounds with promising antioxidant potential. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Bauhinia purpurea L. leaves collected from Pekanbaru. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, steroids, and alkaloids. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were 50.79 ± 1.82 mg GAE/g and 59.10 ± 13.03 mg QE/g extract, respectively. Antioxidant activity measured by the DPPH method showed an IC₅₀ value of 67.58 µg/mL, indicating moderate antioxidant potential. These results suggest that Bauhinia purpurea leaves from Pekanbaru have potential as a natural antioxidant source for herbal and pharmaceutical product development. Geographic factors and extraction methods play a significant role in determining the bioactive content and antioxidant activity of the extract.

    Abstract

    Kale (Brassica oleracea L.) is a plant from the Brassicaceae family that is often consumed by the public. Kale leaves contain vitamin C, phenolic compounds, and pigments that have the potential as antioxidants. Kale leaves that are often consumed by the public are green kale and purple kale. This study aims to determine the comparison of antioxidants between green kale and purple kale using the DPPH method. Green and purple kale leaf Simplicial powder was macerated using 96% ethanol solvent. The extraction results were then tested qualitatively for their phytochemical content using phytochemical screening. Antioxidant activity was tested qualitatively and quantitatively (DPPH method). The results showed that the antioxidant activity (IC50) of Vitamin C, purple kale, and green kale leaves extract successively are 3.19 µg/ml (very strong), 100.03 µg/ml (strong), and 144,35 µg/ml (moderate). The antioxidant activity of purple kale leaves is stronger than green kale. leaves.

    Abstract

    The white champaca flower (Magnolia alba) holds cultural significance for the Balinese society, being employed in religious ceremonies, adorning bridal setting, and enriching the aroma of incense. Moreover, white champaca flowers contain alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenols that have antioxidant activity. Therefore, it is interesting to determine the antioxidant activity of methanol extract of white champaca flowers and formulated it into an oil in water cream in this study. The extract was formulated into three cream formulas, FI, FII, and FIII with concentrations of 4, 8, and 12%, respectively.  Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) assay with UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 516 nm. The antioxidant activity based on IC50 values for FI, FII, and FIII were 29.72, 25.50, and 25.05 µg/ml, respectively, with IC50 value of vitamin C was 2.93 µg/ml as a standard comparison. The research findings indicate that the methanol extract of white champaca flower o/w cream exhibit a very strong antioxidant activity in vitro. Further research is imperative to investigate the ability of the formulations to delaying the photoaging mechanism through in vivo studies.

    Abstract

    Telemedicine has been used extensively since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the non-face-to-face interactions make telemedicine services more challenging. This study was conducted to determine the satisfaction of drug counseling services provided by pharmacists through telemedicine in Jakarta, Indonesia, and to assess the correlation between the type of telemedicine and the provision of pharmacists’ drug counseling. This investigation is cross-sectional, and data were collected from February to May 2022 through Cluster and Snowball sampling methods. Chi-Square was used to measure the relationship between telemedicine models and the provision of drug counseling. Of the 448 respondents, 85.71% received counseling, giving the pharmacist's counseling performance a good value of 64.06-98.18%. More than 80% of respondents were satisfied in all aspects of satisfaction. The bivariate analysis shows a significant relationship between the type of telemedicine and drug counseling services (p=0.032). This research highlights the importance of optimizing telemedicine approaches to enhance patient care in pharmaceutical services.

    Abstract

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) is a new case that was reported to have occurred in 2019 in China (Wuhan) and the first case in Indonesia in March 2020. The high increase in cases requiring treatment related to patient care causes an economic burden. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the economic burden. The analysis uses the Cost of Illness (COI) method. This retrospective research was conducted based on data at RSJ Dr. Suharto Heerdjan for the period December 2020 - July 2021 by calculating the direct medical costs of patients. The analytical method used is Multiple Linear Regression ANOVA using the RStudio application. The number of respondents was 138 patients. In the results of the analysis, it was found that the average total direct medical costs of COVID-19 inpatients based on age was Rp. 6,580,657 (0-5 years), Rp. 8,317,592 (6-18 years), Rp. 8,595,254 (19-30 years old), Rp. 11,787,268 (31-45 years), Rp. 12,537,695 (46-59 years old), and Rp. 16,250,460 (>60 years). Based on gender Rp. 12,416,202 (women) and Rp. 11,285,017 (male). Based on the length of stay, Rp. 7,881,911 (<7 days), Rp. 12,721,150 (7-14 days), and Rp. 26,282,724 (>14 days). Based on the level of severity, Rp. 10,096,730 (mild), Rp. 10,633,881 (medium), and Rp. 16,597,570 (severe). Based on comorbid disease, Rp. 16,981,774 (without comorbid), Rp. 19,670,640 (1 comorbid), Rp. 22,990,759 (2 comorbid), and Rp. 30,231,603 (>2 comorbid). There was a significant effect between length of stay, severity, and comorbid disease on direct medical costs (P<0.05), while there was no significant effect between age and gender on direct medical costs for inpatient care (P>0.05).

    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.
