Abstract

The laundry process involves various complex hazards, including biological, ergonomic, physical, and chemical hazards, this can result in health problem. The Jember Plantation Hospital Clinic is the referral hospital with the highest number of patients in Jember Regency, based on the participant eligibility letter (SEP) of the Jember Regency Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan) in 2022. There have been cases of Covid-19 infection spreading among workers in the linen unit. Therefore, the implementation of effective personal protective equipment (PPE) management is an important component in OHS protection efforts. The purpose of this research is to examine the implementation of PPE management among laundry workers in the Linen and Housekeeping Units of the Jember Plantation Hospital Clinic Jember Regency using the legal basis of the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 8 of 2010 concerning PPE. This study used a qualitative descriptive design. Data collection  through  observations,  interview and literature studies. The research results show that the implementation of PPE management has not been optimal. Inconsistencies were found in determining PPE standards and quality, and the availability of adequate storage facilities. Furthermore, PPE training has not been comprehensively implemented, and worker compliance with PPE use remains low. PPE supervision and inspections tend to focus on compliance, without fully addressing the condition and suitability of the PPE. Systematic and continuous strengthening of PPE management is needed to improve the safety and health of hospital laundry workers.

Abstract

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a wrist disorder caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. It commonly manifests as tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness in the fingers or hand. If left untreated, CTS can lead to more severe physical impairment. Workers engaged in repetitive tasks with awkward postures, such as bag craftsmen at UD Sumber Rejeki, are particularly at risk. Purpose: To identify risk factors associated with CTS complaints among bag craftsmen in Sidoarjo Regency. Method: An observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The sample comprised all 43 bag craftsmen. Data were collected through interviews and direct observation using questionnaires, Phalen’s Test sheets, the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), and wrist posture evaluations with the RULA method. Bivariate analysis was conducted using Chi-square or Fisher’s Exact tests, with associations expressed as Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Results were considered significant at p<0.05. Results: CTS complaints were reported by 26 workers (60.5%). Significant associations were found between gender (p=0.045; OR=3.75), length of service (p=0.009; OR=6.81), repetitive movements (p<0.001; OR=19.60), and awkward hand posture (p=0.002; OR=7.11). In contrast, age (p=0.055), smoking history (p=0.206), and medical history (p=0.154) showed no statistically significant associations with CTS complaints. Conclusion: Gender, duration of employment, repetitive movements, and non-ergonomic postures were significantly associated with CTS complaints among bag craftsmen. The industry is encouraged to implement adequate rest breaks and improve workstation ergonomics to reduce the risk of CTS complaints.
