The number of unmet need for family planning remains high in developing countries, including in Indonesia. Structured contraceptive counseling potentially increases contraceptive use effectively maintain its continuity and enhances client's satisfaction. Contraceptive counseling had not been properly performed, therefore this study aimed to analyze structured counseling influence toward knowledge improvement, attitude and participation at modern contraceptive among unmet need reproductive-aged couples. This study was conducted on March -June 2015 by using a randomized pretestposttest measurement with control group design. The subjects were recruited through stratified random sampling method. Inclusion subjects were further classified into 48 persons for the intervention group and other 48 persons for the control group. The increase of knowledge and attitude between intervention and control group was then compared by using Mann-Whitney U test, and the effect of structured counseling toward participation of modern contraceptive was analyzed by using multiple logistic regression. Results showed that there was a significant difference of test score for knowledge and attitude between the intervention and the control group (p value < 0.05). Reproductive-aged women are more likely to participate at modern contraceptive with odds ratio = 6.167 (95% CI= 2,427 -15,67). Inconclusion, structured counseling can increase knowledge, attitude, and participation at modern contraceptive among reproductive-aged couples. Keywords: Attitude, knowledge, participation of modern contaceptive, structured counseling, unmet need Abstrak Unmet need Keluarga Berencana (KB) masih tinggi di negara berkembang termasuk di Indonesia. Konseling kontrasepsi terstruktur berpotensi meningkatkan penggunaan kontrasepsi secara efektif, menjaga keberlangsungan penggunaan dan meningkatkan kepuasan klien. Selama ini konseling kontrasepsi yang dilakukan belum optimal, sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh konseling terstruktur terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap dan partisipasi kontrasepsi modern pada pasangan usia subur (PUS) yang unmet need. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimen semu dengan rancangan pretest-posttest dengan kelompok kontrol. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada periode Maret -Juni 2015. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan stratified random sampling pada 48 orang untuk kelompok perlakuan (konseling terstruktur) dan 48 orang untuk kelompok kontrol (konseling standar). Perbedaan peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap pada kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol diuji dengan uji Mann-Whitney U, sedangkan pengaruh konseling terstruktur terhadap partisipasi kontrasepsi modern dianalisis dengan uji regresi logistik ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna pada skor pengetahuan dan sikap setelah dilakukan konseling terstruktur antara kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol dengan nilai p < 0,05. Wanita usia subur (WUS) yang berada pada kelompok perlakuan akan berpeluang ikutserta menggunakan kontrasepsi modern dengan OR= 6,167 ...
Backround: Covid-19 pandemic has affected countries worldwide , Indonesia is one of them. More than a hundred thousands of Indonesian citizens were infected of Covid-19, including health workers. Midwife is one of the health workers who do much frequent interactions with people in the society. Thus, it is necessary to get the update of the latest information about Covid-19 prevention in order to press down the virus spreading cases number. The aim of this research is to find out the correlation between age also educational background of Indonesian midwifes, and their knowledge of Covid-19 prevention protocol. Methods: This research applies descriptive analysis with cross-sectional approach as the research method. The population of this research is all midwifery practices in the area of Bekasi regency, meanwhile, there are 110 midwifes selected as the research sample using the purposive sampling technique. The research instrument in the form of online questionnaire sent to emails. Data were analyzed by univariate by calculate the frequency distribution and bivariate using chi square. Results: The research findings show 65,71% midwifes in the age <46 years have good knowledge about Covid-19 prevention protocol, as much as 69,24% midwifes with higher education have good knowledge of Covid-19 prevention protocol. The result of bivariate analysis show that there is no correlation between age and knowledge of Covid-19 prevention protocol (p= 0,424) and there is no correlation between educational level with Covid-19 prevention protocol (p= 1,000). Conclusion: This research concludes that there is no correlation between either age or education, with the midwifes' knowledge about Covid-19 prevention protocol. Midwifes practices in the area of Bekasi regency are suggested to dig up information about Covid-19 and preventative measures through media and means of information developing additionally in this pandemic era.
Antibiotics are drugs used for infections caused by bacteria. Amoxicillin and tertacycline are antibiotics used to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli bacteria can cause urinary tract infections, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis. The purpose of this study was to determine the diameter of the inhibition zone of amoxicillin and tetracycline antibiotics in inhibiting Escherichia coli bacteria. Experimental research method with antibacterial activity test using paper disc diffusion method. The results showed that amoxicillin and tetracycline antibiotics had inhibition zone diameters of 18.4 mm and 35.76 mm, respectively, with strong and very strong categories. The conclusion of this study is that tetracycline antibiotics are better at inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria than amoxicillin.
Infectious diseases are one of the health problems because they cause new infectious diseases caused by antibiotic resistance. So it is necessary to search for new antibiotic agents that are sourced from natural ingredients such as jackfruit plants. Jackfruit plant (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) has many benefits ranging from roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds. Jackfruit plant has pharmacological properties as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimalarial, antifungal activity, cytotoxic, tyrosinase inhibitory activity and antimicrobial. The purpose of this study was to determine the study of jackfruit plants that have potential as antimicrobials. The research method was carried out using a literature review with online media based on the Web, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, ResearchGate, Google Scholar used for publication. The results showed that jackfruit has antimicrobial activity due to the content of bioactive compounds such as: tannins, flavonoids, catechins, artocarpin and artocarpanone. Jackfruit plant parts that have the potential as antimicrobials are the leaves, jackfruit skin, seeds and roots. Jackfruit plants have potential as antimicrobials against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Propionibacterium acnes, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus mutans, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Plasmodium falciparum, and Vibrio cholera.
