West Java is rich in essential oil-producing plants, essential oils known to be responsible for some pharmacological activities among its antioxidant and antimicrobial. This research aims to know antimicrobial, antioxidant activity and identify the components of a compound essential oil of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.). Components chemistry identified with GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass pectrometer). Antioxidant activity measured by using the DPPH method (2 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) at 516 λ wavelength absorbance. Antimicrobial activity determined Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBC) using microdilution method. The result of GC-MS showed the highest component on nutmeg containing 22.22% myristicin. The antioxidant test showed nutmeg had IC50 at 3,16%, essential oil showed antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of essential oils range from 0.313% to 10%. The content of essential oils of nutmeg plants that grow in the area of West Java Garut can be used to overcome the problems of antioxidants and antimicrobial.Key words: Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Pala (Myristica fragrans Houtt), Chemical Composition.
Penggunaan metode kontrasepsi jangka panjang dan permanen pada wanita yaitu tubektomi masih sangat rendah di Indonesia. Berbagai studi penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor sosio-demografi mempunyai pengaruh dalam pemilihan tubektomi sebagai metode kontrasepsi bagi wanita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan karakteristik sosio-demografi dengan penggunaan tubektomi pada wanita peserta KB di Indonesia dengan menggunakan data Survei Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) tahun 2017. Desain penelitian dalam studi ini adalah cross sectional, kemudian dilakukan analisis bivariat dan regresi logistik. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa jumlah anak hidup memiliki hubungan yang paling signifikan terhadap penggunaan tubektomi (Pv = 0,005; OR = 6,07). Faktor lain yang juga berhubungan yaitu kelompok umur 25-34 tahun (Pv = 0,005; OR = 0,034), wilayah tinggal di pedesaan (Pv = 0,005; OR = 0,525), status ekonomi menengah bawah (Pv = 0,005; OR = 0,906), status wanita bekerja (Pv = 0,005; OR = 1,288), jumlah anak ideal ≥ 3 (Pv = 0,005; OR = 1,547), pengambilan keputusan ber KB yang dilakukan secara bersama antara suami dan responden (Pv = 0,005; OR = 0,327), dan pengetahuan wanita tentang ≥ 8 jenis KB (Pv = 0,005; OR = 2,017). Diharapkan penyuluh KB/PLKB/kader dapat menggunakan karakteristik sosio-demografi yang berpengaruh dalam melakukan identifikasi, pemetaan dan penetapan sasaran calon peserta tubektomi agar pemberian informasi terkait metode kontrasepsi tubektomi dilakukan tepat sasaran.
