The inclusion criteria in this study were TB patients who were over 18 years old, willing to become respondents, and had used antituberculosis drugs for at least one month. The level of knowledge about TB was assessed using a questionnaire and medication adherence was assessed using the MARS-5 questionnaire.Results: The number of respondents in this study was 83 patients. Most patients were male (57.83%), less than 60 years old (83.13%), and had a high school education (53.01%).

The important factor of under-reporting is lack of awareness for the purpose of ADRsmonitoring and reporting. Spontaneous reporting isperformed by the patients or consumer to the healthcare professionals and/or industry, then the healthcare facilities and industry should report the suspected ADRsto the National Agency of Drugs and Food Control (NADFC). To date, there is a lack information and study about attitudes on ADRsreporting by healthcare professionals (HCPs), especially in primary healthcare settings.Objectives:The aim of this study was to identify the attitudes towards ADRs reporting by healthcare professionals (HCP). Methods:This research was survey study with cross-sectional design, from November 2022-March 2023. The questionnaire, that have been validated and reliable, was distributed to 3 primary healthcare facilities. demographic data questions (6 items), experiences (3 items), knowledge (4 items), and motives for reporting (1 item). Results:Total 39 HCPs completed the survey, including 14 nurses, 9 midwifes, 3 general physicians, 3 pharmacists, and 10 other professions. Most of respondents were women (84.6%), and mostly the HCPs have been working for ≥5 years (74.3%). Among 39 respondents, only 1 pharmacist have a good attitudeabout ADRsreporting. The other HCPs had a lack of knowledge and safety awareness. The dominant motives for reporting the ADRswas serious or severe ADRs(39.4%) and the assurance of causality assessment by suspected drugs (15.4%).Conclusion:In conclusion, the HCPs in primary healthcare settings had poor attitudes towards ADRsreporting.Keywords: ADRsreporting;attitude; healthcare professionals; primary healthcare 2024-03-31T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/7081 Title: Development and Evaluation of Drug Management Information System in Mijen Community Health Center Demak Authors: Putri Farihatus Sholehah, Faza; Iswandi, Iswandi; Merari Peranginangin, Jason Abstract: ABSTRACTBackground:Drug management information systems can serve as tools for decision-making. The effectiveness of such a system can be assessed through evaluation. One of the evaluation methods used is the PIECES method.Objectives:This research aims to evaluate and develop a drug management information system using the PIECES method. Methods: The research conducted was a qualitative descriptive study with inductive analysis. Sampling for this research was conducted purposivesampling. System development in this study utilized the prototype method, with interviews conducted forManagement Information System(MIS)evaluation using the PIECES Framework. The design of the MIS system was created using Data Flow Diagrams and Entity Relationship Diagrams. The designed MIS system development was evaluated using the same method. Data processing in qualitative research consists of valid, clear, and accountable word descriptions, sentences, or narratives provided by the researchers, followed by data validation using triangulation techniques and Nvivo 12 Plus software.Results: Evaluation results using the PIECES Framework indicate that the implemented MIS system benefits and aids staff performance in daily drug dispensing. However, there are still manual tasks and lacking features such as distribution, drug expiration warnings, and minimum stock on the dashboard. The proposed design for MIS system development includes several features such as stock in, stock out, and distribution, complemented with drug expiration warnings, minimum stock alerts on the dashboard, and reports for each feature.Conclusion:Implementing the proposed MIS system design can assist and streamline work processes by providing comprehensive information, thus serving as a decision-making tool.Keywords:Drug Management;Management Information System; PIECES 2024-03-31T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/7078 Title: Factor Determining Consumers’ Decisions to Purchase Topical Analgesic for Musculoskeletal Disorders in Indonesia Authors: Farhan Wahyudi, Aiffian; Wiedyaningsih, Chairun Abstract: ABSTRACTBackground:Various choices of topical analgesic to treat musculoskeletal disorders are available on the marketObjectives:This study aims to determine the influence of psychological, cultural, social, and personal factors on purchasing decisions for topical analgesic drugs among consumers who need medication for musculoskeletal disordersMethods: This is cross-sectional quantitative researchwith an inferential statistics analysis approach.
