Abstract

During Ramadan, there are changes in a person's eating patterns and times. This also relates to the timing of medication intake, so it is necessary to pay attention to the use of medications for chronic diseases in general. This outreach activity aims to increase knowledge about medication use during Ramadan (fasting) and to improve the community's understanding of changing medication use patterns during fasting so as not to cause toxic effects and affect the therapeutic effects of the medication being taken. The outreach was conducted through direct communication and education by distributing brochures and giving PowerPoint presentations to patients at the Simpang Baru Community Health Center. The sample consisted of 30 community respondents, comprising 23 women (76.7%) and 7 men (23.3%), who underwent pre- and post-tests on their knowledge of medication use during fasting. After the intervention in the form of brochures and education, there was an increase in the percentage of post-test knowledge in the good category, amounting to 71.4% (men) and 65.3% (women) compared to before the education, which was 57.1% (men) and 17.4% (women). Based on age category, there was also an increase in the percentage of knowledge, where the percentage before education in adults was 31.8% and increased after education to 72.7%. Based on age category, there were 12.5% of pre-seniors before the education program, which increased to 50% after the education program. This result is considered good. Based on the education level category, there was no change after the education program for people with no schooling and elementary school education, while respondents with junior high school, high school, and college education showed a change in their knowledge level after the education program. To see the effect of the brochure and education program on the pretest and posttest results, a Wilcoxon analysis was conducted because the data was not normally distributed. The pretest and posttest scores were (p<0.05) with a p-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that the provision of direct education supported by brochures and education in this community service activity had a significant effect on increasing the respondents' knowledge, as reflected in the significant difference between the pretest and posttest results, thereby potentially supporting the safe and rational use of drugs and maintaining the effectiveness of therapy during Ramadan.
