Abstract

Background: Oil and gas companies often require employees to work abnormal working hours, namely long shift hours and changing work environment conditions. Understanding how chronotypes, which refer to an individual’s biological preferences for choosing sleep and wake times (starting activities) and job stressors impact anxiety, depression, and distress levels among shift workers in oil and gas companies can aid in developing more effective risk management, health, and wellness programs for the workforce.Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between chronotype and work stress with anxiety, depression, and stress in oil and gas companies.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an oil and gas company in Indonesia. Data was collected in 2024 using online questionnaires and interviews. Chronotype was measured using the Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) in Indonesian Version, job stressors were identified using the Stress Diagnostic Survey (SDS), and distress levels were obtained from the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21). Results: Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the chronotype type for workers in oil and gas companies is morning type as much as 57.4% and midnight type as much as 42.6%. From the results of the analysis, no relationship was found between chronotype and work stressors with stress levels. Chronotype type and work stressors are not related to the level of anxiety, depression and stress in the worker population in this study. The level of anxiety, depression and stress in workers was 20.5% and the prevalence of work stressors in workers experiencing moderate stress levels in the form of role inequality 54.9%, role conflict 52.5%, qualitative overload 52.5%, career development 50%, and responsibility for others 54.1%. While the most quantitative overload stressors were at the mild stress level 54.9%.Conclusion: The majority of respondents were morning type, and their job stressors were at moderate levels. The chronotype and job stressors did not have relationships with the level of distress. Other factors related to the incidence of anxiety, depression and stress levels in this study were age, length of service and type of work.

Abstract

Introduction: Effective return-to-work (RTW) management is essential for minimizing workplace disruptions and supporting functional recovery following occupational injuries. In physically demanding sectors such as palm oil harvesting, eye injuries—particularly occupational keratitis caused by plant debris—can lead to temporary visual impairment and reduced ability to perform essential job tasks. Objective.This case report demonstrates how structured RTW coordination, involving interprofessional collaboration and employer engagement, facilitates safe workplace reintegration and prevents reinjury.Methods: We report the case of a 27-year-old male palm oil harvester in Indonesia who developed left-eye keratitis after removing fogged protective goggles during harvesting. He was treated by an ophthalmologist, while a hospital-based occupational medicine specialist—acting in place of an internal occupational health unit—evaluated his work capacity, recommended temporary duty adjustments, and collaborated with company management to implement them.Results: Initial treatment consisted of topical antibiotics and ocular lubricants. The patient was deemed temporarily unfit for regular duties and was advised to perform low-risk tasks. Although the employer’s response was initially delayed, collaboration with the occupational physician facilitated a phased return to work through modified duties and ongoing monitoring. Full visual recovery was achieved within 17 days, after which the patient resumed regular tasks without restrictions. At 3.5 months post-injury, he remained asymptomatic and fully fit for work.Conclusions: Successful return to work (RTW) following occupational keratitis requires early and structured coordination between ophthalmologists and occupational medicine specialists, as well as active involvement from the employer. Temporary job modifications, functional capacity assessments, and ongoing monitoring are essential to ensure a safe reintegration process and to maintain productivity. In the absence of on-site occupational health services, hospital-based occupational medicine specialists play a vital role in conducting fitness-for-work evaluations and recommending appropriate workplace accommodations.

Abstract

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common work-related musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the informal sector such as traditional blacksmithing industries. Objective. This study aims to determine the prevalence and associated factors of CTS among blacksmith workers in Mekarmaju Village, Bandung Regency. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 100 male workers through questionnaires, work observations, and physical examinations (Phalen and Tinel tests). Result:The results showed a CTS prevalence of 68%, with the majority of cases being bilateral. Bivariate analysis revealed several factors associated with CTS, including body mass index, age, dominant hand, and type of work. However, multivariate analysis identified only work duration (>3 years) as a significantly associated factor (aOR = 0.03; 95% CI: 0.01–0.92; p = 0.045), indicating that newer workers are more vulnerable to CTS. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of early ergonomic interventions and health screening at the beginning of employment to prevent CTS in the informal labor sector.
