Pharmacist Recommendations for Non-Infectious Diarrhea Self-Medication: A Study in Padang, Indonesia
No full textIntroduction: Diarrhea is a condition where a person defecates with a soft or liquid stool consistency or even just water which can be accompanied by blood or foam with a frequency that is more frequent than usual in a day. Self-medication is an action taken by someone to treat themselves by recognizing the symptoms and illnesses felt, usually minor illnesses, then choosing drugs according to their wishes without going through a doctor's prescription.
Methods: A descriptive study with cross-sectional approach to determine the recommended choice of diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication from pharmacies in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through proportional random sampling using the Slovin formula. From a total of 247 pharmacies in Padang City, data was collected from 38 pharmacies that had been proportioned in 11 sub-districts in Padang City. Participants in this study were pharmacists on duty at the pharmacy. Data were collected through structured interviews recorded by pharmacists in pharmacies with a single question, what drug do you give for self-medication to adult patients with mild diarrhea without symptoms of infection.
Results: Drug recommendations from pharmacist in Padang City pharmacies are attapulgite, kaolin-pectin, activated carbon, loperamide, Oral Re-hydration Formula (ORS), zinc supplements, probiotics, and antacids. The drug recommendations given are in the form of single therapy and combination therapy. Assessment of recommendations that are said to be appropriate refers to the recommendations of Dipiro (2020), namely the provision of a single absorbent or absorbent plus ORS. The results of appropriate recommendations were obtained at 44.74% and those that were not appropriate were obtained at 55.26%. There is no statistically significant evidence to suggest a relationship between the education level of pharmacist and appropriate of the answer (p>0.05).
Conclusion: There are still many mistakes made by pharmacists in recommending diarrhea drugs without symptoms of infection for self-medication in pharmacies
Psychological Well-Being Mediates Cyberbullying Victimization and Risky Health Behavior: Public Health Implications for Universities
No full textIntroduction: Cyberbullying has become a burden in the current digital world and has an impact on health status, including physical and mental health. People try to mitigate these mental health issues through various coping strategies, including engaging in risky health behavior. Such risky health behaviors may have implications for future health status. Thus, this study aims to examine the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization and elucidate the consequences of cyberbullying victimization on psychological well-being and risky health behavior.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed in this study, with 700 undergraduate students as research participants. The students were randomly selected using proportional stratified and random sampling in a selected university in Samarinda, Indonesia, between January and March 2024. Participants were first-year, second-year, third-year, and fourth-year students. Self-administered data collection using a standard questionnaire for each variable. This study used the Structural Equation Model to analysed the associations between variables.
Results: Cyberbullying victimization affects psychological well-being, which, in turn, influences risky health behaviors. While no direct link was found between cyberbullying and risky health behaviors, psychological well-being fully mediates this relationship. This suggests that the negative impact of cyberbullying on health behaviors occurs through its detrimental effects on psychological well-being, leading to risky health behaviors as coping strategies.
Conclusion: The study reveals significant links between cyberbullying victimization, coping capacity, psychological well-being, and risky health behavior. These findings highlight the importance of effective coping strategies. Future research should focus on enhancing problem-focused coping techniques, which could serve as positive strategies to reduce the negative impact of cyberbullying on psychological health and risky health behaviors
Breaking the Chains of ‘Pasung’: The Potential Roles of Primary Health Centres and Pharmacists in an Indonesian Setting
No full textIntroduction: Healthcare for patients in pasung is often neglected. Limited data is available on the roles of Primary Health Centres (PHCs) as the main providers of primary care in Indonesia. This research aims to explore health services provided for patients in pasung at PHCs and to identify the roles of pharmacists.
Methods: This descriptive qualitative research used in-depth interviews with a range of stakeholders [i.e., patients in pasung (n=14) or the representative family caregivers (n=12), mental health nurses (n=5), pharmacists (n=5)] at 5 PHCs in Trenggalek, Indonesia from May to July 2023. Inductive thematic analysis was used to address the research questions. Ethical approval was obtained from the Research Ethics Committee of Universitas Surabaya (number 130/KE/V/2023), and participants provided written informed consent.
Results: Patients in pasung have generally had adequate access to PHCs with no charge for their treatments. Health services provided for patients in pasung at PHCs were categorised into two main themes: outpatient services (i.e., medication supply, and home-care), and referral to inpatient services. Pharmacists’ roles have largely related to drug supply, while clinical pharmacy services have been very limited (e.g., providing drug information when patients obtained their medications at the pharmacy units).
Conclusion: In conclusion, findings in this study have provided a baseline for future development of mental healthcare for patients in pasung. Pharmacists have the potential to take up more clinical roles to ensure quality use of medicines among patients in pasung. Supporting policy and resources should be allocated for PHCs to expand pharmacist’s services
Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Tuberculosis Clusters in a Region of Topographic Diversity: A Case Study from West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia
No full textIntroduction: Several studies on tuberculosis (TB) using spatial and time clustering analyses have been conducted in Indonesia, however none have specifically focused on regions characterized by diverse topography. This study aimed to identify geospatial clusters of TB cases in West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, an area known for its topographic variability.
Methods: An ecological study design was employed. TB case data, including bacteriologically confirmed and clinically diagnosed cases, were obtained from the Tuberculosis Information System (Sistem Informasi Tuberkulosis, SITB) of the West Sulawesi Provincial Health Office, covering the period from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023. Spatial visualization was performed using QGIS version 3.40.0. Cluster detection and spatial pattern analysis were conducted using SaTScan version 10.2.5.
Results: TB cases in West Sulawesi formed clusters. A total of 17 clusters were identified—4 primary (most likely) clusters and 13 secondary clusters. In 2020, the primary cluster was located in Bambang Village, Bambang Subdistrict. In 2021, the primary cluster was in Lambanan Village, Mamasa Subdistrict. In 2022, the primary cluster was in Ulumambi Barat Village, Bambang Subdistrict, and in 2023, the primary cluster was again in Lambanan Village, Mamasa Subdistrict.
Conclusion: This study found that the most likely TB clusters from 2020 to 2023 were consistently located in the eastern part of West Sulawesi Province, specifically in Mamasa Regency, an area characterized by mountainous terrain. This suggests that various environmental, social, and economic factors unique to mountain communities may influence TB transmission dynamics. The findings highlight the need for geographically tailored intervention strategies, including mobile TB services, community-based education, enhanced surveillance systems, the establishment of local TB support networks, and improved healthcare infrastructure adapted to mountainous areas. Future research should consider integrating genotypic, molecular, and geospatial approaches to advance global TB control efforts
