Pharmacists’ perspectives on medication therapy management training needs for chronic disease care in Indonesian primary healthcare centers
Prevalence and determinants of childhood stunting in Indonesia
Introduction Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, affecting child growth, development, and future health. Many previous studies used older datasets or examined limited determinants; updated national evidence is needed.Theory Guided by the UNICEF Conceptual Framework, stunting was examined as the result of child, maternal, and health service determinants.Method A cross-sectional study used nationally representative data fro…
Development of a prediction rule for incomplete vaccination among children in Indonesia
This novel, easy-to-use prediction rule could be a useful tool to complement current strategies and further encourage tailored vaccine uptake interventions, particularly to parents with a high chance of incompletely vaccinated children in Indonesia
The use of oral contraceptives and the risks of developing prehypertension and hypertension in women of reproductive age
There is a statistically significant moderate increase in the risk of prehypertension and hypertension among women of reproductive age in Indonesia who use OCs, with the risk of hypertension increasing with longer durations of OC use. This finding highlights the need for healthcare providers to carefully assess risks when prescribing contraceptives, particularly for women with cardiovascular risk factors
An assessment of socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and education facilities in Indonesia following Covid-19
In 2023, Indonesians continued to grapple with the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic despite government measures introduced in 2020 to mitigate its effects. This study analyzed key factors affecting employment, food security, healthcare access, and education during the post-pandemic period in Indonesia, using data from the 8th Indonesian World Bank COVID-19 High-Frequency Survey (March–April 2023). The survey included 9751 adults (aged o…
Social participation among individuals with depression is associated with the use of informal healthcare facilities
Sociodemographic Factors, Health-Risk Behaviors, and Chronic Conditions Are Associated with a High Prevalence of Depressive Symptoms
Depression is a significant public health challenge. However, limited research exists regarding the risk of sociodemographic factors, health-risk behavior, and chronic conditions in relation to the development of depression in Indonesia. This study assesses the prevalence of depressive symptoms in adolescents and adults, and identifies its potential associations with sociodemographic factors, health-risk behaviors, and chronic conditions. A natio…
Sociodemographic and behavioural risk factors associated with low awareness of diabetes mellitus medication in Indonesia
Introduction Low awareness of the necessity of taking medication is common among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) due to their lack of understanding of the disease. Therefore, it is essential to determine the underlying risks influencing low awareness to design effective intervention strategies. This study aims to evaluate the association of sociodemographic and behavioural factors with low awareness to take medication among patients with DM …
Knowledge, attitude, and practice of medication therapy management
Introduction: The use of medication therapy management (MTM) is a proven method for reducing medication errors. MTM services rely heavily on pharmacists as service providers, particularly in community health centers (CHCs). Thus, understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of MTM among pharmacists in CHCs is crucial to the strategy for the implementation of MTM program in Indonesia. This study aimed to assess the level of KAP rega…
Self-reported medication adherence instruments and their applicability in low-middle income countries
Introduction: Medication non-adherence is an important public health issue, associated with poor clinical and economic outcomes. Globally, self-reported instruments are the most widely used method to assess medication adherence. However, the majority of these were developed in high-income countries (HICs) with a well-established health care system. Their applicability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains unclear. The objective of t…
Knowledge, Perception, and Willingness to Use Telepharmacy Among the General Population in Indonesia
General population in Indonesia had a fair knowledge, a positive perception, and were willing to use telepharmacy services. Interventions to increase knowledge of telepharmacy in Indonesia need to target older adults and people who are less educated
