Abstract

Wijayakusuma plants contain various active compounds that are beneficial to health, such as alkaloids, triterpenoids, and saponins. This research aims to optimize topical antibiotic products from Wijayakusuma plant that were synergized with Sambung Nyawa, Sambang Darah, Bratawali, Sambilata, and Tobacco leaves into a therapeutic oil for a mosquito repellent. The topical antibiotics were made by maceration method by soaking wijayakusuma, sambung nyawa, sambilata, bratawali, sambang getih, and tobacco leaves using VCO then tested by viscosity test, antibacterial test, phytochemical screening, antioxidant test, and efficacy test. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that viscosity measurement with Oswald 20oC showed 22.56 cP. Antioxidant analysis used the % DPPH inhibition method with a sample of 50,000 ppm was 51.6%. Antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis (grampositive) was 18.8 mm (strong), and against Escherichia coli (gram-negative) was 10.4 mm (strong). The equivalent flavonoids as topical antibiotics contained 15.51 mg QE/ml, phenolics 8.11 mg GAE/ml, and tannins 11.30 mg TAE/ml. Mosquitoes stumbled and flew away when exposed to this topical antibiotic. This topical antibiotic has good antioxidant content for body care, antibacterial and aromatherapy that repels mosquitoes, and is suitable for external massage oil treatment.

Abstract

Working in a dental laboratory risks exposure to chemicals or infectious materials. One of the activities in the dental laboratory is denture manufacturing. Dental impressions, prostheses, or improper handling of clinical materials in the dental laboratory might contaminate dental technicians with pathogenic microorganisms. Dental technicians should have basic knowledge of the transmission of infection through the dental laboratory to prevent the transmission of infectious agents from dental impressions. This research aimed to discover the level of infection prevention behavior of dental technicians in dental laboratories in Yogyakarta. This research is observational descriptive research that employs a cross-sectional design. The samples were 55 dentaltechnicians working in the three Dental laboratories in Yogyakarta. The instrument was a questionnaire used to measure the level of knowledge. The data were analyzed using univariate (descriptive). According to the findings, almost half of the respondents (42%) had a low infection-prevention behavior level. The conclusion of level infection prevention behavior among dental technicians in Yogyakarta's dental laboratories was common.

Abstract

PeduliLindungi is a COVID-19 tracking application with a QR Code feature officially used for contact tracing in Indonesia. District General Hospital (RSUD) Tugurejo Semarang already has a QR Code Scan to enter the building. However, many patients have not used to utilize the scanner. Therefore, the researcher aimed to determine the acceptance and use of the PeduliLindungi app based on patients' digital literacy competence at RSUD Tugurejo, Semarang City. The research was descriptive and distributed questionnaires to 100 outpatients. The results showed that 41% of outpatients could use social media to communicate, and 31% used the internet to find health information. 54% of patients strongly agree that PeduliLindungi helped control Covid-19. The app's acceptance and use were mainly in patients aged 18–27. Patients with education who did not graduate from high school had the lowest average usage, 51.29. The difference in digital literacy competency scores between female and male patients was relatively high, namely 136.6 in women and 124.46 in men. The average digital literacy competence in the expert category was 61.05. Education regarding the PeduliLindungi app is necessary, especially for patients in the non-productive age group.

Abstract

Children ages 0 - 18 are more susceptible to infected COVID-19. The prognosis of pediatric patients can be significantly worse by the presence of a secondary diagnosis. This study's aim was to categorize pediatric patients according to their age, sex, length of stay (LOS), subsequent diagnoses, and treatments. Samples were taken from the medical records of 19 pediatric patients, ages 0-18, who were hospitalized at X Hospital. The data are descriptively analyzed in this study using secondary data taken from the medical records of pediatric patients from April 2020 to February 2021. According to the study's findings, 79% of the pediatric COVID-19 patients were under the age of five, 58% of them were men, and their average length of stay was 9.53 days. The most common secondary diagnoses were Febrile convulsions (9%) and Hypo-osmolality and hyponatraemia (9%). Microscopic inspection of specimen from the ear, nose, throat, and larynx (35%), Other chest x-ray (27%), and Microscopic examination of blood (8%) were the treatment and procedures that were performed the most frequently. Children who are COVID-19 patients between the ages of 0 - 18 have a high number of secondary diagnoses and medical procedures during therapy, necessitating more intensive monitoring.

Abstract

SATUSEHAT’s platform has been implemented as a form of digital transformation in health services in Indonesia. This platform includes features that facilitate data integration from medical records, medical resumes, and various similar health platforms with the concept of interoperability and data sharing between healthcare facilities in Indonesia. Data sharing and ownership of patient data raises various ethical and legal issues in its application, especially when it relates to the right to patient data in electronic medical records (EMR) in health services. However, in the guidelines for the implementation of EMR, there is no general consent regarding the release of the data. This study aims to analyze legal issues that can occur and recommendations related to the implementation of SATUSEHAT which is integrated with EMR of health care facilities and to develop legal concepts in its application. The method used uses a statutory approach and conceptual. General consent regarding the release of EMR data to be integrated with SATUSEHAT needs to be applied. Several issues may arise regarding the implications of refusing or approving the integration of EMR with SATUSEHAT such as security, confidentiality, and data usage. Healthcare facilities should include general consent regarding the integration of the data as a separate option in the clause in the general consent which is preceded by information regarding the risks and benefits obtained. Guarantees regarding the security and privacy of patient data by both health facilities and the SATUSEHAT’s platform also need to be strengthened so that they do not harm patients. In addition, guidelines regarding data access and ownership need to be developed, and clarification on the responsible party and the sanctions to be imposed in the event of a data leakage need to be further defined
