Abstract

Hypertension is a serious medical condition and a leading cause of death worldwide, including in Indonesia. South Kalimantan ranks second for the highest number of hypertension cases Indonesia. Banjarmasin City, particularly its riverbank areas, has unique environmental and socioeconomic conditions that may influence the health status of its residents, including the incidence of hypertension. This study aims to describe the risk factors for hypertension incidence among communities living along the riverbanks of Banjarmasin City, South Kalimantan. This descriptive study involved 70 respondents diagnosed with hypertension from three areas of Puskesmas (Community Health Center) in Banjarmasin City. The results of the study showed several risk factors for hypertension found among the respondents, including age ≥ 40 years (84.29%), female gender (65.71%), Banjar ethnicity (71.43%), high school or equivalent education level (64.29%), knowledge (50%), unemployed status (62.86%), family history of hypertension (68.57%), high salt consumption habits (65.71%), insufficient rest (42.86%), smoking habits (22.86%), low physical activity (62.86%), and obesity (31.43%). These findings indicate that the majority of respondents possessed a combination of both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Therefore, early detection for non-modifiable risk groups and targeted health education and promotion efforts are essential to encourage lifestyle changes and prevent hypertension in the riverbank communities of Banjarmasin City.

Abstract

Occupational diseases are illnesses caused by work and/or the work environment, which can be experienced by workers in the sasirangan industry. Most sasirangan industry workers in Banjarmasin City do not use personal protective equipment (PPE) while working. The objective of this study was to analyze factors related to PPE compliance and its association with occupational diseases among sasirangan industry workers in Banjarmasin City. This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at three sasirangan industry sites in Banjarmasin. Samples were obtained using purposive sampling, with a total of 50 workers. Data were collected through questionnaires. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using the chi-square test. The univariate analysis showed that 38% of sasirangan workers had a history of occupational diseases, 58% were non-compliant with PPE use, 32% had poor knowledge regarding PPE, 52% had negative attitudes toward PPE use, and 30% reported the unavailability of PPE in the workplace. The bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between PPE compliance and occupational diseases, as well as between attitudes toward PPE use and PPE availability with PPE compliance, while no significant association was found between knowledge of PPE and PPE compliance among sasirangan industry workers in Banjarmasin City.
