Penyuluhan Penggunaan Obat Rasional (POR) dalam Swamedikasi Kepada Masyarakat RW 18 Desa Cijengkol Kecamatan Setu Kabupaten Bekasi

Swamedikasi merupakan upaya pengobatan sendiri oleh
masyarakat untuk mengatasi gejala penyakit, tanpa bantuan dari tenaga
kesehatan. Penatalaksanaan yang irrasional dapat mengakibatkan berbagai
kerugian seperti kesalahan pengobatan karena ketidaktepatan diagnosis
sendiri; penggunaan obat tidak sesuai karena perolehan informasi yang salah
dari media; pemborosan waktu dan biaya; dapat menimbulkan reaksi obat
yang tidak diinginkan seperti sensitivitas, alergi, efek samping atau resistensi.
Kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan
pengetahuan masyarakat lingkungan RW 18 Desa Cijengkol Kabupaten
Bekasi terutama para ibu mengenai obat yang rasional serta pemberian
informasi Dagusibu (Dapatkan Gunakan Simpan dan Buang obat) di
lingkungan rumah tangga. Penyuluhan diberikan dengan metode ceramah
interaktif. Efektifitas penyuluhan diuji dengan rancangan quasi eksperimental
pre dan post design. Peserta diberi kuisioner pre-test, selanjutnya diberi
intervensi penyuluhan dan terakhir diberikan kuisioner post-test. Hasil
pengamatan kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa para peserta sangat antusias mengikuti kegiatan dan hasil analisis data menunjukkan adanya pengaruh
pemberian penyuluhan dalam peningkatan pengetahuan mengenai
penggunaan obat rasional (POR) dalam swamedikasi berdasarkan hasil uji tberpasangan
dan uji wilcoxon.

Antifertility Effect of the Ethanol Extract of Centella asiatica L. Urban Against the White Rat (Rattus norvegicus L.) in the Early Post-Implantation

Centella asiatica is commonly known as centella or pegagan is one of the biological
resources that have many benefits for mankind. Clinical and pharmacological study of Centella
asiatica has been widely proven by scientists of the world, but there are a few properties that
require further investigation in particular its effect on fertility. This research aims to know the
influence of the ethanol extract of pegagan (Centella asiatica) towards the birth rates or
fertility in the early post-implantation. On the research, white rat (Rattus norvegicus L.) is used
as animal tested. The method that used in this research was an experiment by using randomly
complete design. The tested animals were grouped into 4 treatment i.e. group I (control group),
group II (dose 175 mg/kg body weight), group III (a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight) and
Group IV (dose 225 mg/kg body weight). The tested animals were given the exraction of
Centella asiatica leaf orally with different doses for 15 days after post-implantation. The value
of post-implantation death percentage is calculated by counting the number of implantation,
either containing a live fetus, or dead fetus and embryo resorb. The results showed that
Centella asiatica gave the influ-ence on white white rat ferlitisation. On the grup IV treatment
with the dose of 225 mg/kg body weight showed the highest KPI val-ue i.e. 57.23%.
