"Latar Belakang: Pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan masyarakat khawatir melakukan perawatan gigi dan mulut di praktik dokter gigi akibat khawatir terpapar virus SARS-CoV-2 sehingga dapat menjadikan swamedikasi sebagai pilihan perawatan. Tujuan: Mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik swamedikasi orang tua serta perbedaan praktik swamedikasi dengan berbagai karakteristik orang tua. Metode: Studi potong lintang kepada 421 orang tua dengan anak usia 0-12 tahun di DKI Jakarta pada Agustus hingga Oktober 2021 menggunakan kuesioner daring berisi 21 pertanyaan. Digunakan uji Chi-Square dan dilanjutkan uji regresi logistik. Hasil: Mayoritas orang tua (73,9%) melakukan swamedikasi saat pandemi dengan obat yang utama digunakan adalah analgesik dan antibiotik, serta mayoritas mengetahui mengenai efek samping obat terhadap sistem pencernaan. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna praktik swamedikasi berdasarkan tingkat pendidikan orang tua, tingkat ekonomi orang tua, kekhawatiran orang tua ke dokter gigi saat pandemi, dan kemauan (willingness) orang tua membawa anak ke dokter gigi saat pandemi. Tingkat pendidikan orang tua dan kemauan orang tua membawa anak ke dokter gigi saat pandemi merupakan prediktor swamedikasi. Kesimpulan: Swamedikasi orang tua terhadap masalah gigi dan mulut pada penelitian memiliki prevalensi tinggi namun masih terdapat cara serta pengetahuan yang kurang tepat. Sehingga diperlukannya edukasi kepada orang tua untuk mengurangi risiko swamedikasi, terutama dalam penggunaan antibiotik.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused people to worry about getting dental care at a dentist's practice due to concerns about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, making self-medication a treatment option.

Objective: To describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of parents' self-medication towards children's dental problems and to find out the significant differences in the practice of self-medication with various characteristics of parents.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 421 parents with children aged 0-12 years in DKI Jakarta from August to October 2021 using an online questionnaire containing 21 questions. Chi-Square test was used and continued with logistic regression.

Results: Most parents (73.9%) self-medicated during the pandemic, with the primary drugs used being analgesics and antibiotics. The majority of parents knew about the side effects of drugs on the digestive system. There are significant differences in the practice of self-medication based on parents' education level, parents' economic level, parents' worries about going to the dentist during the pandemic, and the willingness of parents to take their children to the dentist during the pandemic. The level of parental education and the willingness of parents to take their children to the dentist during a pandemic are predictors of self-medication.

Conclusion: In this study, parents' self-medication towards children's dental problems was highly prevalent, but some parents used inappropriate methods and knowledge. Thus, education is needed to reduce the risk of self-medication, especially in antibiotics."

"Tingginya persentase swamedikasi batuk dibandingkan dengan penyakit lain dapat menjadi pemicu timbulnya swamedikasi yang tidak rasional sehingga menyebabkan konsekuensi kesehatan yang serius. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pengetahuan dan sikap pasien dewasa terhadap perilaku swamedikasi batuk di Jabodetabek. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional dengan metode mixed method tipe embedded design. Metode perolehan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik consecutive sampling menggunakan kuesioner yang telah memenuhi uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Data yang dikumpulkan adalah data primer dengan total 139 responden dan dianalisis menggunakan IBM®SPSS® versi 25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebesar 53,96% responden memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup, 81,29% responden memiliki sikap yang baik, dan 64,03% responden memiliki perilaku yang baik. Terdapat korelasi positif berkekuatan lemah antara pengetahuan swamedikasi batuk (p=0,000; r=0,285) dan sikap serta korelasi kuat positif antara sikap dan perilaku swamedikasi batuk (p=0,000; r=0,403). Namun tidak terdapat korelasi antara pengetahuan dan perilaku swamedikasi batuk responden (p=0,138; r=1,105). Hubungan antara pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku terhadap faktor sosiodemografi menunjukkan korelasi yang tidak bermakna (p>0.05). Oleh sebab itu, dapat disimpulkan semakin baik pengetahuan swamedikasi batuk responden maka semakin baik pula sikap swamedikasi batuk responden dan semakin baik sikap swamedikasi batuk responden maka semakin baik pula perilaku swamedikasi batuk yang ditunjukkan responden. Pada profil swamedikasi responden melakukan swamedikasi karena sudah mengetahui obat yang harus digunakan berdasarkan pengalaman dengan frekuensi swamedikasi dalam 3 bulan terakhir 1-2 kali. Responden memperoleh obat dari apotek dan mengandalkan pengalaman penggunaan obat pribadi/keluarga sebagai informasi obat mereka. Pada penggunaan obat batuk ditemukan responden yang menggunakan obat batuk kering untuk mengobati batuk berdahak

The high percentage of cough self-medication compared to other diseases can trigger irrational self-medication, causing serious health consequences. This study aims to analyze the effect of adult patient's knowledge and attitudes on cough self-medication practice in Jabodetabek. The research design is cross-sectional with mixed method type embedded design. The data was collected by using consecutive sampling technique using questionnaire that had fulfilled validity and reliability test. Primary data were collected with 139 samples and analyzed by IBM®SPSS® 25. The results showed that 53.96% of respondents had enough knowledge, 81.29% of respondents had a good attitude, and 64.03% respondents have good practice. The results of the correlation test showed that there was a positive weak correlation between self-medication knowledge (p=0,000; r=0,285) and attitudes and a positive strong correlation between self-medication attitudes and practice (p=0,000; r=0,403). There was no correlation between self-medication knowledge and practice (p=0,138; r=1,105). The relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practice towards sociodemographic factors showed no significant correlation (p>0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the higher respondent's self-medication knowledge, the better the self-medication attitude of respondents and the better self-medication attitude, the better self-medication behavior shown by respondents. In self-medication profile, respondents did self-medication because they already knew drug they used based on experience and self-medication frequency in last 3 months is 1-2 times. Respondents obtained drugs from pharmacies and relied on their personal/family drug use experience as their drug information. It was found that respondents used dry cough medicine to treat coughs with phlegm."

"Latar Belakang Gejala common cold pada COVID-19 dan penyakit respirasi lain menyerupai satu sama lain sehingga seseorang yang mengalami gejala sering kali tidak melakukan perilaku preventif yang sesuai. Untuk mengatasi gejala tersebut, perilaku kesehatan yang sering diterapkan di masa pandemi COVID-19 adalah swamedikasi (self-medication). Swamedikasi ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan dan sikap karena perilaku kesehatan yang baik umumnya didahului oleh pengetahuan dan sikap yang baik juga. Akan tetapi, belum banyak studi yang meneliti hubungan antara pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap COVID-19 dengan swamedikasi common cold. Metode Penelitian dilakukan secara cross-sectional dengan data primer yang diperoleh melalui kuesioner yang sudah divalidasi oleh penelitian sebelumnya. Kuesioner yang digunakan menilai pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap COVID-19, serta perilaku swamedikasi masyarakat ketika mengalami gejala common cold. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kelurahan Panjunan, Cirebon, dan sekitarnya sebagai wilayah binaan Pengabdian Masyarakat FKUI. Data dianalisis dengan uji Fisher dan dihitung rasio odds dengan interval kepercayaan 95%. Hasil analisis signifikan apabila p<0,05. Hasil Dari 94 responden, 86,2% memiliki pengetahuan baik, dan 95,7% memiliki sikap positif terhadap COVID-19. Sebanyak 95,7% responden mempraktikkan swamedikasi common cold. Tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang bermakna antara pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat mengenai COVID-19 dengan swamedikasi common cold di Kelurahan Panjunan, Cirebon dan sekitarnya. Kesimpulan Pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap COVID-19 di Kelurahan Panjunan, Cirebon dan sekitarnya sudah tergolong baik. Selain itu, swamedikasi untuk gejala common cold merupakan perilaku kesehatan yang sering dilakukan oleh masyarakat di daerah tersebut.

Introduction Symptoms of the common cold in COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases resemble each other so someone who experiences these symptoms often do not carry out appropriate preventive behavior. In an attempt to alleviate these symptoms, the health behavior that is often practiced in the COVID-19 pandemic is self-medication. This selfmedication behavior can be influenced by knowledge and attitudes because good health behavior is generally preceded by good knowledge and attitudes as well. However, not many studies have examined the relationship between knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 and self-medication for the common cold. Method The research was done with a cross-sectional design with primary data obtained through questionnaires that had been validated by previous research. The questionnaire used assesses knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19, as well as people's self-medication behavior when experiencing symptoms of the common cold. The research was done in Kelurahan Panjunan, Cirebon, and surrounding areas as it is one of the areas supported by FKUI. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. The results are significant if p value <0.05. Results Of the 94 respondents, 86,2% had good knowledge, and 95,7% had a positive attitude towards COVID-19. 95,7% of respondents practiced self-medication towards common cold. No significant differences were found between knowledge and attitudes about COVID-19 and self-medication for the common cold in Kelurahan Panjunan, Cirebon and its surrounding areas. Conclusion Knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 in Kelurahan Panjunan, Cirebon and its surrounding areas are good. Self-medication for the common cold is a health behavior that is often carried out by the community in those areas. Therefore, setting regulations and increasing public awareness through education regarding proper self-medication for the common cold needs to be a concern for the government and other health stakeholders."

Background: Dental emergencies are potentially life-threatening oral conditions that demand immediate treatment, including uncontrolled bleeding, severe pain, cellulitis or any bacterial infection in soft tissue causing intraoral or extraoral swelling, and dental trauma. Dental trauma is more frequent among children because they tend to be more active, which makes them more vulnerable to dental injuries. COVID-19 pandemic, which is primarily transmitted through droplets and aerosols, causes dental practice to provide emergency-only dental services. The knowledge of dental emergencies are needed by parents in order to determine the appropriate action to treat these conditions, because as caregivers, parents are often the first to respond to children’s dental emergency conditions. Therefore, dental health education to parents regarding dental emergencies in children are needed.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference of parental knowledge before and after education using online audio-visual media regarding dental emergency in children during COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: The design of this study is an experimental study. A total of 53 parents of children aged 3 to 6 years old from randomly selected kindergartens at Setiabudi, South Jakarta were asked to fill out the questionnaire before and after online education using audio-visual media of a 2-minute duration via a video conference platform.

Results: Data analysis using the Wilcoxon comparative test showed that there was a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in knowledge of parents after watching the audio-visual media.

Conclusion: Online education using audio-visual media can improve the knowledge of parents on dental emergency in children during COVID-19 pandemic."
