Comparing Trigona Honey, Apis dorsata Honey and Silver Sulfadiazine Effect on Bacteria Colonization in grade IIB burn
No full textObjective: To compare the effect of Trigona honey, Apis dorsata honey and silver sulfadiazine against bacteria colonization in grade IIB burn on Rattus novergicus strain Wistar Design: Design of this study is analytical experimental. This study used 27 rats randomly divided into 3 groups. All 3 group received deep second degree burns (2 x 2 cm).. The experimental group is divided into 2, in which 1 group receive 1 cc Trigona honey while the other receive 1 cc Apis dorsata honey, the control group is treated with silver sulfadiazine (SSD). Observation and data collection is done at fifth day. Bacteria colonization is obtained using quadrant streak method in blood agar media. The blood agar media is then incubated for 24 hours before being counted. Results: Statistical test using Mann- Whitney U found that Trigona honey and Apis dorsata honey yield equal in ability of suppressing bacteria colonization on grade IIB burn in rats. Trigona honey, Apis dorsata honey and SSD also yield equal ability in supressing bacteria colonization on grade IIB burn in rats. Conclusion: Trigona honey and Apis dorsata have equal ability in suppressing bacteria colonization on grade IIB burn in rats. They both also perform equal to SDD in suppressing bacteria colonization on grade IIB burn in rats
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) on Travel Risk Evaluation in Indonesian Traveller Risk Groups: A Multicenter Study
No full textBackground: The risk of a traveller for contracting a travel-related disease is not only depending on one’s destination of travel or planned activities, but also on the traveller’s personal risk profile. The aim of this study is to determine the travellers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on prevention of Travel-related diseases and to evaluate patterns of disease of travel-related disease in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional, multicenter questionnaire-based study was conducted at 6 Indonesian International airports and other several cities all across Indonesia between January and April 2014. Questionnaires were randomly distributed at the departure gate of Indonesian airports while passengers were waiting to board. Data collected then statistically analyzed with univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: A total of 450 questionnaires were received, of which 423 fulfilled the entry criteria and were included in the final analysis. Main reasons for travels are tourism, business, study, religious reason, working abroad as labors. Most of respondents travel with no company, while others are in group, with friends, and others. Overall, 64.5% of respondents travelled to high risk destination and the rest are travelled to low risk destination. Overall knowledge, attitude, practice scores mean was 82.67, 80, and 72.25 out of 100, respectively. Conclusion: This research provides description about personal risk profile of Indonesian international travelers as a scientific basis to evaluate patterns of disease of travel-related disease in Indonesia. This report may be used to form recommendations for Indonesian travellers and health-care providers involved in travel medicine

Knowledge, Perception, and Attitude of Universitas Indonesia Medical Students toward Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Get PDFIntroduction. Rate of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) use, including the Indonesian jamu, has increased in the last decade. This paper aims to identify the factors contributing to jamu development and to measure medical students’ knowledge, perception, and attitude toward CAM and jamu. Method. This is a cross-sectional study using questionnaire administered to Year 1-3 students of Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia. Results. Students generally show positive attitude towards CAM and jamu, but their knowledge is not complete. The majority (68,4%) of respondents had known about CAM and 90,4% believe CAM can be integrated into conventional medicine; 91,6% wants materials on CAM in the curricula. Almost half (48,4%) of the respondents are also users of CAM. Conclusion. Students are open to the development of CAM and the government has issued policies supporting jamu, including Jamu Scientification Program. However, more evidence is needed, including clinical trials, before jamu can integrate into mainstream medicine
