Abstract

Introduction: Conventional tobacco cigarette smoking remains a major public health concern, particularly among occupational groups exposed to high work-related stress, such as cleaning service and security workers. Limited awareness of smoking-related health risks may contribute to continued smoking behavior and increased disease burden. Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics, knowledge levels, and smoking behaviors related to the dangers of conventional tobacco cigarettes among cleaning service and security workers at the Faculty of Medicine, University X, Jakarta. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2023 among cleaning service and security personnel who were active smokers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, knowledge of smoking hazards, and smoking behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Result and Discussion: The results showed that 62% (31 respondents) had good knowledge regarding the dangers of conventional tobacco cigarettes, while 38% (19 respondents) had sufficient knowledge, and none had poor knowledge. In terms of smoking behavior, 38% of respondents always smoked, 24% often smoked, 34% sometimes smoked, and 4% never smoked in certain situations. Despite relatively adequate knowledge, risky smoking behaviors remained common. Conclusion: Although respondents generally had adequate knowledge, risky smoking behaviors persisted, indicating the need for targeted health education and smoking cessation programs for this occupational group

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major non-communicable disease with a high health burden both globally and nationally. This study aims to describe the clinical and demographic characteristics of CKD patients hospitalized at the Universitas Kristen Indonesia General Hospital in 2023. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 82 patients were selected through total sampling from medical records. The collected data included age, sex, occupation, highest educational level, place of residence, and history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus as the main comorbidities. The results showed that the 55–65-year age group was the most prevalent (35.6%). Female patients dominated the sample (55.9%). Based on occupation, most patients were housewives (35.4%). The highest level of education recorded was senior high school (54.9%). The most common comorbidities were hypertension (43.9%) and diabetes mellitus (13.4%). These findings indicate that older age, female sex, non-formal occupations, senior high school education level, and the presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus are frequently observed characteristics among CKD patients at RSU UKI in the 2023 period. The results are expected to serve as a baseline for developing prevention and clinical management strategies for CKD and to raise public awareness regarding the importance of regular kidney function screening.

Rational use of antibiotics can provide benefits for recovery and does not cause harm that can cause problems or threats to the health of sufferers. Inappropriate administration of antibiotics can hurt patients, one of which is antibiotic resistance.
