"Diasumsikan bahwa pendidikan dan penerangan kesehatan telah dilakukan dan diberikan melalui wahana pelayanan kesehatan serta media massa, namun nampaknya di kalangan penderita dan masyarakat awam tingkat pengetahuan mereka tentang epilepsi kurang memadai. Dalam penelitian ini telah dilakukan wawancara terhadap 127 penderita epilepsi di klinik rawat jalan Rumah Sakit Dr. Kariadi Semarang, 95 orang keluarga pasien, dan 95 orang awam untuk mengungkap pengetahuan mereka tentang organ utama tubuh yang terganggu, etiologi, gejala-gejala dan tanda-tanda, dan faktor pemicu bangkitnya kejang berulang pada epilepsi. Jawaban-jawaban para responden dicatat secara verbatim, kemudian dianalisis dengan mencocokkan jawabannya dengan jawaban yang benar menurut literatur. Hasil analisis didapatkan pengetahuan yang jelek dan kurang tentang organ tubuh yang terganggu, etiologi, gejala-gejala dan tanda-tanda, dan faktor pemicu bangkitnya kejang berulang pada epilepsi pada kelompok pasien, keluarga pasien, dan orang awam. Pada ketiga kelompok tersebut tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna tingkat pengetahuan mengenai epilepsi. Tingkat pengetahuan pasien terendah dibanding dua kelompok yang lain. Tingkat pendidikan tidak mempengaruhi tingkat pengetahuan responden. Temuan tersebut menggambarkan kurang memadainya komunikasi antar dokter dan pasien pada wahana pelayanan kesehatan serta pendidikan kesehatan masyarakat tentang epilepsi yang diterima oleh keluarga pasien dan orang awam.

It is assumed that health education has been done and health information has been given through health service institutions and mass media, but it seems that the patients as well as common people have insufficient knowledge about epilepsy. Interviews had been carried out upon 127 epilepsy patients in out patient clinic Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang, 95 patients’ family, and 95 common people to explore their knowledge on the main disturbed organ, etiology, symptoms and signs, and trigger factors of repeating seizure in epilepsy. The respondents’ answers were recorded verbatim, and analyzed by matching to the right answers according to references. Bad and insufficient knowledge on the main organ disturbed in epilepsy, etiology, symptoms and signs, and trigger factors for repeated seizure was founded among the epilepsy patients, their family, and common people. There were no significant differences of the level of knowledge among the three groups of respondents. The patients’ knowledge was the worst, compared to the others. The level of education of the respondents did not influence their level of knowledge. In conclusion, this study reflects an insufficient communication between doctors and the patients in the health service institution, and an insufficient public health education about epilepsy received by the patients’ family and common people.

"Mental health is one of Indonesia’s public health development goals. The Pangandaran District Administration of West Java is an expanded district that actively carries out various development programs, including mental health programs. This study aimed to identify public knowledge about mental health in Pangandaran District using quantitative descriptive method. The research population comprised residents of the Pangandaran District, and a sample was collected via cluster multistage sampling technique. The sample was gradually determined in the order of subdistricts, villages, subvillages, community units, and neighborhood units. The total sample was composed of 113 respondents. The questionnaire was developed based on theories and concepts on public mental health and distributed to participants after validity and reliability tests were conducted. The construct validity test result was between 0.303 and 0.764, which meant that all items were valid. The Kuder-Richardson 20 formula was used to test reliability, and the reliability coefficient was 0.887.

For educational institutions, mental health programs should be a fundamental offering in Indonesian society."

"Epilepsi merupakan suatu kondisi kronis yang disebabkan oleh gangguan fungsi otak. Keadaan ini merupakan penyulit yang biasa ditemukan pada berbagai gangguan neurologis seperti kelumpuhan otak (cerebral palsy: CP) yang dapat mengakibatkan kerusakan otak lebih lanjut, terutama apabila disertai dengan serangan kejang yang berlangsung lama. Insidens epilepsi pada penyandang CP berkisar antara 25 ? 35%. Insidens epilepsi yang sering pada pasien penyandang CP menunjukkan bahwa kedua kelainan tersebut agaknya mempunyai penyebab yang sama atau saling berhubungan. Kami melaksanakan suatu studi retrospektif untuk menentukan apakah insidens epilepsi berbeda tergantung pada tipe CP. Data diambil dari rekam medik, meliputi: nama, jenis kelamin, paritas, usia ibu, penatalaksanaan pra, peri dan pasca lahir serta hasil rekaman EEG. Pengolahan data menggunakan uji statistik X2 pada P < 0,05. Didapatkan di antara 67 kasus dengan CP, 53 bertipe CP spastik, 13 kasus campuran dan 1 CP diskinetik. Lelaki 47,8%, Perempuan 52,2% dengan usia rerata 50,3 (SD 36,3) bulan. Pada 25 pasien dengan CP yang berhubungan dengan epilepsi ditemukan 72% dengan kejang umum, 20% dengan kejang parsial, dan 8% dengan spasme infantil. Insidens epilepsi ternyata menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna (P < 0,05) tergantung tipe CP dan usia kehamilan saat pasien dilahirkan. Disimpulkan bahwa insidens epilepsi pada pasien penyandang CP di YPAC medan ialah 37,3%, dan terdapat perbedaan bermakna sesuai tipe CP dan usia kehamilan saat pasien dilahirkan.

Epilepsy is a chronic condition due to cerebral function disorders. Epilepsy occurs as a common complication of many neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP) that can cause further brain damage if especially they are accompanied with prolonged seizure. The incidence of epilepsy among patients with CP varies, 25-35%. The high incidence of epilepsy among patients with CP suggests that these disorders has common or related origins. We carried out a retrospective study to determine the incidence of epilepsy among patients with CP registered July 1988 to June 1998 in YPAC Medan and to determine whether the incidence of epilepsy was different according to type of CP. Data was compiled from medical records, including name, sex, parity, mothers age, prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal history, and EEG resuts. Data were analysed using statistical computer program and its significance was evaluated by chi square test at p < 0.05. There were 67 cases with CP, 53 cases spastic CP, 13 cases mixed CP and one case dyskinetic CP. Of the 67 cases CP, 47.8% were male, 52.2% female with the mean age of 50.3 (SD 36.9) months. There were 25 (37.3%) patients CP associated with epilepsy, 72% general seizures, 20% partial seizures, and 8% infantile spasm. The incidence of epilepsy was significantly different among patients with CP associated with the type of CP and gestational age, p < 0.05. We concluded that the incidence of epilepsy among patient with CP in YPAC Medan was 37.3% and showed significant difference in CP according to type and gestational age.

Introduction: Thalassemia is a hemoglobin (Hb) disorder that has a high prevalence in Indonesia and the world. Complications in thalassemia can occur due to low pre-transfusion Hb and accumulation of serum ferritin. A good knowledge, attitude, and practice towards a disease are needed to achieve desired health outcomes and prevent complications. This study aims to find the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice towards thalassemia, pre-transfusion Hb, and serum ferritin levels in thalassemic adolescents as they have the highest prevalence. Methods: Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire through google form were distributed to adolescent thalassemic patients who met the criteria. Knowledge will be divided into adequate or inadequate; attitudes are divided into positive or negative; practice is divided into good or bad based on the questionnaire results. Level of Pre-transfusion Hb and serum ferritin were taken from the patient's medical record and grouped into high or low Hb and ferritin. Result: Out of 85 subjects, there were 49.4% patients with adequate knowledge, 91.8% patients with positive attitude, and 72.9% patients with good practice. Patients still lack understanding of screening facilities and the importance of vitamin supplementation. Patients need to increase positive attitude towards thalassemia screening and good behavior towards treatment adherence. There was a statistically insignificant relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice on thalassemia with pre-transfusion Hb and serum ferritin (p > 0.05) in thalassemic adolescents. Conclusion: Thalassemic adolescents at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital have inadequate knowledge, but with good attitudes and behavior. Periodic education is needed to increase knowledge."

"Latar Belakang. Pasien epilepsi memerlukan obat antiepilepsi (OAE) dalam waktu lama, minimal 1-2 tahun.OAE yang terbanyak digunakan di Indonesi adalah OAE generasi lama yaitu karbamazepin, fenitoin, fenobarbital, dan valproat.Karbamazepin, fenitoin, dan fenobarbital dapat menyebabkan stres oksidatif dan peningkatan kolesterol sedangkan menyebabkan resistensi insulin.Keempat OAE dapat menyebabkan peningkatan homosistein. Hal tersebut dapat menyebabkan disfungsi endotel yang merupakan awal dari aterosklerosis.Ketebalan kompleks intima-media (KIM) karotis komunis dapat digunakan sebagai indikator dari aterosklerosis.Oleh karena itu diperlukan pengukuran ketebalan KIM karotis komunis pada pasien epilepsi yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama untuk deteksi awal aterosklerosis. Metode penelitian. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang untuk melihat perbandingan ketebalan KIM karotis komunis kelompok studi (pasien epilepsi) dengan kelompok kontrol (populasi normal) dengan usia dan jenis kelamin yang disesuaikan. Variabel independen adalah usia, jenis kelamin, jumlah OAE, jenis OAE, dan durasi OAE. Hasil. Didapatkan sampel masing-masing 46 subjek kelompok studi dan kontrol. Median ketebalan KIM karotis komunis kelompok studi (0,49 (0,36-1,40) mm) lebih dari kontrol (0,43 (0,35-0,77) mm) secara bermakna. Pada penelitian ini tidak didapatkan hubungan antara usia, jenis kelamin, jumlah OAE, jenis OAE, durasi OAE dengan ketebalan KIM karotis komunis pada pasien epilepsi. Kesimpulan. Ketebalan KIM karotis komunis pasien epilepsi yang menggunakan OAE generasi lama lebih tebal dari kelompok kontrol.

Background. Epilepsy patients requires long-term antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) at least for 1-2 years. The most common AEDs used in Indonesia are first generation AEDs which are carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PHT), phenobarbital (PB), and valproate (VPA). The first three AEDs may cause oxidative stress and increased cholesterol level while VPA causes insulin resistance. All AEDs cause increased homocysteine level. All those factors could cause endothelial dysfunction which is known as initial process in atherosclerosis. Common carotid intima-media thickness (CC IMT) is a well-known indicator of atherosclerosis. Therefore CC IMT measurement on epilepsy patients with old generation AEDs is required for early detection of atherosclerosis.

Methods. This was a cross-sectional study that comparing CC IMT of epilepsy patients and control group (normal subjects) with age and sex matched. The independent variables were age, sex, number of AEDs, type of AEDs, and duration of AEDs.

Results. There were 46 subjects for each group. The CC IMT median of epilepsy patients (0,49 (0,36-1,40) mm) were significantly thicker than control group (0,43 (0,35-0,77) mm). There were no association of age, sex, number of AEDS, type of AEDs, duration of AEDs with CC IMT.

Conclusions. CC IMT of epilepsy patients with first generation AEDs was higher than control group."
