Abstract

Encountering mechanical vibration represents a notable physical occupational risk that can lead to work-related health issues, including occupational fatigue, especially in jobs that require the repetitive operation of vibrating equipment, such as tailoring in the informal sector. This research sought to investigate the correlation between hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure and work-related fatigue among informal-sector tailors in Makassar City. A quantitative, cross-sectional methodology was utilized, incorporating 30 participants chosen via simple random selection. Vibration exposure was quantified in m/s² using the ISO 5349-1:2001 standard, whereas occupational tiredness was evaluated via the tiredness Feeling Measurement Tool Questionnaire (KAUPK2). Bivariate data examination was performed via Fisher's Exact test. A significant portion of participants experienced minimal vibration exposure and indicated modest degrees of work-related weariness. Statistical examination indicated no significant correlation between hand-arm vibration exposure and work-related weariness (p>0.05). The results indicate that minimal vibration exposure might not be adequate to substantially provoke occupational tiredness in the studied group. The lack of a statistically significant correlation suggests that alternative factors might have a more considerable influence on the emergence of work-related weariness among tailors, especially considering the minimal vibration exposure noted in this environment. Additional investigation utilizing a longitudinal framework and an expanded sample population is advised to thoroughly assess the impact of vibration exposure and ergonomic elements on work-related weariness.

Abstract

Obesity among adolescents is an increasing public health problem that contributes to the risk of various non-communicable diseases. Schools provide a strategic setting for health promotion to improve students' knowledge and encourage healthy lifestyles. This community service aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an obesity education program by assessing students' knowledge six months after the intervention. The program involved 51 students of SMP Negeri 2 Parangloe selected through total sampling. A quantitative evaluative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest and follow-up evaluation design was applied. Data were collected using knowledge and behavioral questionnaires and analyzed using univariate analysis and the Friedman test. The results showed a significant improvement in students' knowledge (p=0.000), with the median score increasing from 3 at pre-test to 6 at post-test I and reaching 7 at the six-month follow-up. Furthermore, 75.0% of students reported engaging in regular physical activity, while 80.4% reduced their consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods. These findings indicate that school-based obesity education is effective in improving and maintaining students' knowledge while encouraging healthier lifestyle behaviors for obesity prevention

Abstract

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease that requires continuous promotional and preventive efforts. One community-based intervention involved hypertension education accompanied by a demonstration of chayote (Sechium edule) juice preparation as a non-pharmacological approach. This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability of the program and identify factors influencing its implementation six months after the intervention. The evaluation was conducted as part of a Community-Based Learning Program using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. It involved 23 participants in Sunggumanai Hamlet, Belapunranga Village, Gowa Regency. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 69.6% of respondents no longer consumed chayote juice, although 82.6% reported that it was easy to prepare independently. These findings indicate that ease of implementation alone is insufficient to ensure sustained adoption. Therefore, appropriate participant selection, continuous follow-up, and stronger family involvement are needed to improve the sustainability of community-based health promotion programs.
