ABSTRAK Praktik pengobatan sendiri atau swamedikasi di Kalimantan Selatan relatif tinggi. Masyarakat pelaku swamedikasi sangat rentan menggunakan obat tidak rasional disebabkan tidak adanya pemberian informasi penggunaan obat yang benar. Beberapa metode dapat diimplementasikan sebagai sarana Apoteker untuk mengedukasi masyarakat terkait penggunaan obat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi peningkatan pengetahuan ibu rumah tangga di daerah bantaran sungai Kemuning Banjarbaru akan penggunaan obat setelah diberikan intervensi oleh Apoteker dalam bentuk CBIA dan booklet. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian non-ekperimental dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional yang dilakukan terhadap 33 responden kelompok CBIA dan 30 responden kelompok booklet. Tingkat pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi diukur dengan menggunakan kuisioner. Rata-rata skor pretest kelompok CBIA dan booklet adalah 3.67 dan 5.43, sedangkan rata-rata skor post-test kelompok CBIA dan booklet adalah 6.87 dan 8.97 (p<0.01). Perbandingan rata-rata peningkatan skor pengetahuan setelah intervensi CBIA adalah 3.21 ± 2.47 dan booklet adalah 3.53 ± 1.89 (p=0.567). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa model intervensi CBIA dan booklet dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan penggunaan obat secara signifikan, dan kedua metode tersebut sama baiknya untuk digunakan sebagai metode intervensi apoteker dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan pasien akan pengobatan. Kata kunci: CBIA, booklet, pengetahuan, obat, Apoteker  ABSTRACT The self-medication practice in South Kalimantan is relatively high. People who are self-medicated are very vulnerable to irrational drug use because there is no provision of information on the correct drug use. Several methods can be implemented by pharmacists to educate the public regarding drug use. This study aims to evaluate the increase in drug use knowledge of housewives in the Kemuning riverbank area of Banjarbaru after being given intervention by Pharmacists in the form of CBIA and booklets. This research is a non-experimental study with a cross-sectional research design conducted on 33 CBIA group respondents and 30 respondents booklet groups. The level of knowledge before and after the intervention was measured using a questionnaire. The average pretest scores of CBIA and booklet groups were 3.67 and 5.43, while the average post-test scores of CBIA and booklet groups were 6.87 and 8.97 (p <0.01). Comparison of the average increase in knowledge score after CBIA intervention was 3.21 ± 2.47 and the booklet was 3.53 ± 1.89 (p = 0.567). It can be concluded that CBIA and booklet intervention models can significantly improve knowledge of drug use, and both methods are equally good for use as pharmacist intervention methods in increasing patient knowledge of treatment. Keywords: CBIA, booklet, knowledge, medicine, pharmacist

Abstract Background The third Sustainable Development Goal for 2030 development agenda aims to reduce maternal and newborn deaths. Pregnant women’s understanding of danger signs is an important factor in seeking timely care during emergencies. We assessed knowledge of obstetric danger signs using both recall and understanding of appropriate action required during obstetric emergencies. Methods This was a cross-sectional study among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Bhutan’s largest hospital in Thimphu. Recall was assessed against seven obstetric danger signs outlined in the Mother and Child Health Handbook (7 points). Understanding of danger signs was tested using 13 multiple choice questions (13 points). Knowledge was scored out of 20 points and reported as ‘good’ (≥80%), ‘satisfactory’ (60–79%) and ‘poor’ (< 60%). Correlation between participant characteristics and knowledge score as well as number of danger signs recalled was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Association between knowledge score and participant characteristics was tested using t-tests (and Kruskal-Wallis test) for numeric variables. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the level of knowledge ('good’ versus ‘satisfactory’ and ‘poor’ combined) were assessed with odds ratios using a log-binomial regression model. All results with p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results Four hundred and twenty-two women responded to the survey (response rate = 96.0%). Mean (±SD) knowledge score was 12 (±2.5). Twenty women (4.7%) had ‘good’ knowledge, 245 (58.1%) had ‘satisfactory’ knowledge and 157 (37.2%) had ‘poor’ knowledge. The median number of danger signs recalled was 2 (IQR 1, 3) while 68 women (20.3%) could not recall any danger signs. Most women were knowledgeable about pre-labour rupture of membranes (96.0%) while very few women were knowledgeable about spotting during pregnancy (19.9%). Both knowledge score and number of danger signs recalled had significant correlation with the period of gestation. Women with previous surgery on the reproductive tract had higher odds of having ‘good’ level of knowledge. Conclusions Most pregnant women had ‘satisfactory’ knowledge score with poor explicit recall of danger signs. However, women recognized obstetric emergencies and identified the appropriate action warranted.

Sectional Analysis

Purpose – This article aims to examine the link between uncertainty and analysts' reaction to earnings announcements for a sample of European firms during the period 1997-2007. In the same way as Daniel et al., the authors posit that overconfidence leads to an overreaction to private information followed by an underreaction when the information becomes public. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, the authors test analysts' overconfidence through the overreaction preceding a public announcement followed by an underreaction after the announcement. If overconfidence occurs, over- and underreactions should be, respectively, observed before and after the public announcement. If uncertainty boosts overconfidence, the authors predict that these two combined misreactions should be stronger when uncertainty is higher. Uncertainty is defined according to technology intensity, and separate two types of firms: high-tech or low-tech. The authors use a sample of European firms during the period 1997-2007. Findings – The results support the overconfidence hypothesis. The authors jointly observe the two phenomena of under- and overreaction. Overreaction occurs when the information has not yet been made public and disappears just after public release. The results also show that both effects are more important for the high-tech subsample. For robustness, the authors sort the sample using analyst forecast dispersion as a proxy for uncertainty and obtain similar results. The authors also document that the high-tech stocks crash in 2000-2001 moderated the overconfidence of analysts, which then strongly declined during the post-crash period. Originality/value – This study offers interesting insights in two ways. First, in the area of financial markets, it provides a test of a major over- and underreaction model and implements it to analysts' reactions through their revisions (versus investors' reactions through stock returns). Second, in a broader way, it deals with the link between uncertainty and biases. The results are consistent with the experimental evidence and extend it to a cross-sectional analysis that reinforces it as pointed out by Kumar.
