Prescription Patterns in the Outpatient Unit of XYZ Hospital, Pekanbaru: A Study from 2022
Get PDFThis study aims to assess the rationality of drug prescribing practices in the Outpatient Department of XYZ Hospital Pekanbaru using the World Health Organization (WHO) prescribing indicators. The research is an observational study with a descriptive nature, employing systematic random sampling to analyze data extracted from prescription records in the pharmacy department of XYZ Hospital Pekanbaru. A total of 660 prescription samples were evaluated, revealing an average of 2.91 drugs prescribed per prescription sheet, indicating a lack of adherence to diagnostic considerations. The findings show that the percentage of generic drug prescriptions was 64.04%, while antibiotic prescriptions accounted for 32.57%. Additionally, prescriptions for injectable forms constituted 1.36%, and adherence to the national formulary was at 72.27%. Out of the five prescribing indicators assessed, only the prescribing of injectable forms met the WHO’s prescribing indicators standard. These results highlight the necessity for improved adherence to rational prescribing practices to enhance treatment efficacy, minimize adverse drug reactions, and ensure cost-effectiveness in patient care. Regular monitoring and education of healthcare providers regarding rational drug use principles are essential for improving healthcare service quality
The Effect of Perfectionism on Academic Procrastination among Thesis-Writing Students: The Mediating Role of Fear of Failure
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the effect of perfectionism on academic procrastination behavior mediated by fear of failure in students writing theses. Maladaptive perfectionism often encourages the emergence of fear of failure, which then triggers the tendency to delay completing tasks. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The subjects of the study consisted of 270 students writing theses in Indonesia. Using PLS-SEM (N = 270; bootstrapping 5,000), perfectionism showed a direct effect on academic procrastination (β = 0.667, 95% CI [0.575-0.754]) and an indirect effect via fear of failure (β = 0.353, 95% CI [0.203-0.502]), indicating partial mediation. Model fit was acceptable (SRMR = 0.068); measurement quality satisfied reliability and validity criteria (CR, AVE, HTMT). This finding strengthens the assumption that the higher the level of perfectionism possessed by students, the greater the likelihood that they will experience fear of failure and delay completing tasks as a form of avoidance. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions and educators to help students manage perfectionism and fear of failure in order to suppress academic procrastination behavior
Revisiting posttraumatic growth theory: A narrative review integrating individual, collective, and cultural dimensions
Get PDFPosttraumatic Growth (PTG) has long been viewed as an individual psychological process shaped by cognitive and emotional struggle after trauma. However, recent scholarship highlights the importance of social, communal, and cultural factors that remain underrepresented in earlier reviews. This study follows a narrative review methodology with purposive sampling that synthesizes peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025 to examine how PTG theory has expanded beyond individual transformation. A structured search across major databases resulted in 20 studies meeting purposive inclusion criteria. Findings reveal two converging trends: the persistence of individual-centric PTG models and the growing recognition of collective and cultural pathways, such as social support, shared rituals, and culturally grounded meaning-making. Integrating these strands, this review proposes a multilayered ecological model positioning individual, relational, collective, and cultural dimensions of PTG. The review underscores the need for culturally sensitive PTG frameworks and community-based interventions, offering a more inclusive theoretical foundation for understanding trauma recovery
The factors related to medication adherence in outpatient hypertension patients at Leuwiliang Hospital, Bogor Regency
Get PDFHypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease in the world and contributes to 10 million deaths every year. Non-adherence is an important factor in uncontrolled hypertension, thus leading to reasons for non-adherence to treatment or medication. This study aims to identify the factors related to adherence to treatment for outpatients at Leuwiliang Regional Hospital, Bogor Regency. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach with cross-sectional data. The study population consisted of all outpatient hypertension patients at Leuwiliang Regional Hospital in 2023. Sampling used the purposive sampling technique with a sample of 312 patients. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically with the Spearman-rho correlation test. The results showed that the level of adherence among patients with hypertension was mostly moderate (39.7%). Treatment adherence was related to self-motivation (p-value = 0.000), but the relationship was weak, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.258. The level of knowledge, family support, and role of health workers did not have a significant relationship to the level of adherence. The correlation value between the level of knowledge and the level of adherence had a negative relationship, although it was not significant. These might be due to knowledge, family support, and the role of health workers might not directly influence the level of compliance but might be supported by other variables such as age, gender, education, patient access to health facilities, patient economic level, length of hypertension, economic profile, and patient hypertension level (length of hypertension), but in this study no relationship analysis was carried out
Ethnopharmacology, LC-MS profiling, and molecular docking of diarrheal-healing plants by the Osing tribe
Get PDFIndonesia has a long history of using medicinal plants, but much of this knowledge, especially among groups like the Osing people in East Java, is not well-documented. This study looks at the plants used by the Osing community to treat diarrhea. This research was conducted through interviews with residents of Banjar and Licin Villages in Banyuwangi Regency. The significance and perceived efficacy of each medicinal plant were evaluated using the ethnobotanical indices Use Value (UV) and Fidelity Level (FL). They also did tests to find the active chemicals in the plants. The most common plants for treating diarrhea were Psidium guajava (UV = 2.44) and Piper betle (UV = 1.11). Psidium guajava had the highest FL value (64.7%). Tests have shown that these plants contain essential chemicals. Further analysis confirmed the presence of quercetin and kaempferol, which are known to help alleviate stomach problems. To support these findings, computer-based tests were done, including Lipinski rule prediction, ADMET profiling, and molecular docking. The results showed quercetin binds well (ΔG = -9.72) and has a good RMSD value (1.83 Å). This suggests quercetin could be a good starting point for making antidiarrheal drugs. Overall, the study underscores the significance of traditional knowledge and recommends further research on plant-based treatments for stomach issues
The influence of learning styles and thinking styles on self–regulated learning among high school students
Get PDFIn response to evolving educational demands, students are increasingly expected to take ownership of their learning, particularly in environments characterized by high academic pressure and teacher-centered instruction. Self-regulated learning (SRL) plays a crucial role in enabling students to plan, monitor, and evaluate their cognitive strategies, motivation, and behavior to achieve academic success. This study investigates how internal factors, specifically learning styles and thinking styles, influence SRL among high school students. A quantitative approach was employed, using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 20. The research involved 315 students from Perguruan Panca Budi in Medan, selected through proportional stratified sampling. The results indicated that the regression model was statistically significant (F=4079.49, p<0.001), with learning styles emerging as a strong predictor of SRL (β=0.848, p<0.0001). In contrast, thinking styles did not demonstrate a significant effect (β=0.135, p=0.103). The VIF values for both predictors were 2.723, well below accepted thresholds, confirming the absence of multicollinearity and indicating that the multiple regression assumptions were satisfied. Emphasizing students' preferred learning approaches may enhance their autonomy, motivation, and engagement. This study highlights the importance of adaptive teaching strategies that account for individual learning differences, offering practical insights for educators seeking to strengthen SRL in the classroom
Career exploration in early adulthood: The role of perceived future employability and career aspirations
Get PDFCareer exploration is an important factor in shaping young adults’ future career goals. However, many young people struggle with limited self-understanding and a lack of awareness of available career options, which directly hinders their ability to engage effectively in career exploration. Despite the importance of career exploration, empirical evidence examining how perceived future employability and career aspiration jointly influence career exploration among young adults remains limited, making it difficult to design effective interventions to support students’ career development. This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived future employability, career aspiration and career exploration among young adults. A quantitative approach was employed using scales as data collection tools. This study involved 219 students (32.87% male, 67.12 % female) aged 18-20 years (M_age= 19.06, SD= 1.59) as participants. Three scales were used, namely the career exploration scale, career aspiration scale, and perceived future employability scale, and the data were analyzed using linear regression with SPSS version 22.0 for windows. The results showed that perceived future employability and career aspiration were significantly related to career exploration. Together, perceived future employability and career aspiration contributed 26.4% to career exploration. Separately, perceived future employability showed a positive relationship with career exploration, whereas career aspiration did not show a significant relationship. These findings have implications on how parents, educational institutions, and career counselors may assist students in enhancing career exploration through improving perceived of future employability
The relationship between self-awareness and self-control toward the understanding of basic sexual education
Get PDFThe goal of this study is to determine how the self-awareness and self-control of high school science majors relate to their understanding of basic sexual education through the study of the human reproductive system. The method used is mixed methods. The sample consisted of all 11th-grade science majors at one of the Tasikmalaya City high schools. In the sample, there were two classes. The sampling technique utilized was purposive sampling. Data were gathered by interviews with teachers and students, and questionnaires for self-awareness, self-control, and basic sexual education. Methodologies for descriptive qualitative data analysis also include precondition analysis and hypothesis testing, such as correlation tests with Spearman Rank and basic linear regression tests, in addition to drawing conclusions. Due to students' uncertainty regarding their ability to exercise self-control, the study's findings indicate that there is no correlation between self-control and understanding of basic sexual education. However, there is a correlation between self-awareness and understanding of basic sexual education with a low category, which is supported by student interviews in which up to 38.54% of students are confident in their responses. Additionally, there is a link between self-awareness and self-control and a low-category grasp of fundamental sexual educatio
