Abstract

Inadequate care after circumcision care may increase the risk of complications and infection in children. This community service activity aimed to provide education to parents regarding wound care and medication administration following circumcision in Cipare District. The activity involved 40 children aged 3–8 years who had undergone circumcision, accompanied by their parents or caregivers. Some participants had medical conditions, including phimosis, balanitis, and a history of urinary tract infections. Individual education was provided to parents or caregivers after the children had completed the circumcision procedure through direct explanations, wound care demonstrations, medication administration simulations, and distribution of written guidelines. The educational materials covered wound care and hygiene, dressing changes, use of antiseptics, administration of medications according to clinical indications, and recognition of signs of infection and complications requiring medical attention. The medications provided included ibuprofen as an analgesic and amoxicillin as an antibiotic according to clinical indications. This activity provided parents with practical guidance on post-circumcision care and appropriate medication use at home. Individual education as part of community-based circumcision services may support family involvement in post-procedural care and serve as a promotive and preventive health effort to support wound healing and prevent complications in children.

Abstract

Abstract: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy disorder commonly observed in workers who engage in repetitive and high-intensity hand or wrist movements, such as cutting, sewing, gluing, or pressing. Prolonged exposure to these activities can increase pressure on the median nerve, leading to symptoms of pain, tingling, numbness, and hand weakness.Case Report: A 31-year-old woman worked as a production operator in the stock fitting department of a footwear factory for 11 years, presented with tingling, numbness, and weakness extending from the wrist area to the fingers of both hands, especially affecting the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. These symptoms had progressively worsened over the past three months. Her job involved a rotational workflow requiring repetitive hand movements combined with physical exertion. Due to increasing discomfort and functional impairment, she had been unable to work for the past two weeks. Although right-handed, she frequently used her left hand for work-related tasks.Discussion: Occupational CTS in footwear factory workers is commonly associated with prolonged repetitive hand and wrist movements. Clinical examination revealed tingling, numbness, and weakness in the affected areas, particularly in the first three digits. Tinel’s and Phalen’s tests were positive, supporting the diagnosis of CTS. Occupational CTS was establish using the seven-steps occupational diagnosis method outlined by the Indonesian Association of Occupational Medicine Specialists (PERDOKI). This approach considers clinical assessment, occupational exposure history, work-related and non-work-related risk factors.Conclusion: Occupational CTS can be effectively diagnosed using a structured occupational diagnostic approach.  Preventive measures, including administrative controls such as task rotation, ergonomic workplace adjustments, and worker education on proper hand positioning, are essential to mitigate the risk of occupational CTS among workers engaged in repetitive manual tasks. Keywords: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Median Nerve Compression, Ergonomic Interventions, Occupational diagnosis,

Abstract

Respiratory symptoms are conditions that are felt to indicate disruption of airflow due to problems in the oxygen binding process or instability of gas exchange in the circulation which can describe an occupational lung disease. Cases of occupational lung disease are still common among mine workers in the world, especially in developing countries. Exposure to sand dust in sand mines can cause symptoms of respiratory disorders. This study discusses the relationship between the duration of exposure to sand dust and symptoms of respiratory disorders in sand mine workers in Batukuda Village, Mancak District. This study included analytic observational research with a cross-sectional study design approach and convenience sampling technique with the aim of evaluating the relationship between the duration of exposure to sand dust as an independent variable with symptoms of respiratory disorders as the dependent variable. he proportion who experienced symptoms of respiratory problems in sand mining workers in Batukuda Village was 86.6%. Most of the sand mine workers in Batukuda Village have a duration of sand dust exposure ≤8 hours/day (59.7%). The proportion of most respondents aged <30 years (52.2%), abnormal BMI (50.7%), did not use PPE while working (82.1%), had a smoking habit (92.5%), and a work period <5 years (71.6%). There is no significant relationship between the duration of exposure to sand dust and symptoms of respiratory disorders in sand mine workers in Batukuda Village, Mancak District (p =0.785). Significant results were shown in the relationship between smoking habits (p =0.002) and the use of PPE masks (p =0.002).
