Abstract

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are a major global occupational health problem, characterized by pain and limited mobility, which can potentially lead to disability and reduced productivity. Working hours and work posture are among the occupational risk factors that cause musculoskeletal complaints. Long working hours cause cumulative exposure, while non-ergonomic work postures increase body load imbalance. Onion leaf farmers work in a bent posture, perform repetitive movements, and carry heavy loads, which put them at risk of musculoskeletal complaints. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between work duration and work posture with musculoskeletal complaints among onion leaf farmers. Method: A quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach was conducted in January 2026 in Makaaroyen Village, South Minahasa. The sampling technique employed non-probability sampling, with a sample size of 58 respondents. The independent variables in this study were length of service and work posture, while the dependent variable was musculoskeletal complaints. Data analysis was performed using univariate analysis in the form of frequency distributions and bivariate analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: The results showed that the majority of respondents had worked for more than 10 years (86.2%), had high-risk work postures (58.6%), and had high levels of musculoskeletal complaints (77.6%). Spearman's rank test showed a significant relationship between length of service and musculoskeletal complaints (p=0.002; r=0.402) with a moderate strength of relationship, and a highly significant relationship between work posture and musculoskeletal complaints (p<0.001; r=0.640) with a strong strength of relationship. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between length of service and work posture with musculoskeletal complaints among spring onion farmers.   Keywords: Farmers; Musculoskeletal Disorders; Work Duration; Work Posture.   Pendahuluan: Gangguan muskuloskeletal merupakan masalah kesehatan kerja utama secara global, ditandai dengan nyeri dan keterbatasan mobilitas, yang berpotensi menyebabkan kecacatan dan penurunan produktivitas. Masa kerja dan postur kerja merupakan salah satu faktor risiko pekerjaan yang menyebabkan terjadinya keluhan muskuloskeletal. Masa kerja yang panjang menyebabkan paparan kumulatif, sedangkan postur kerja tidak ergonomis meningkatkan ketidakseimbangan beban tubuh. Petani daun bawang bekerja dengan postur membungkuk, gerakan repetitif, dan beban kerja berat yang berisiko menimbulkan keluhan muskuloskeletal. Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis hubungan masa kerja dan postur kerja dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada petani daun bawang. Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional dilaksanakan bulan Januari 2026 di Desa Makaaroyen, Minahasa Selatan. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan non-probability sampling dengan jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 58 responden. Variabel independen dalam penelitian ini adalah masa kerja dan postur kerja, sedangkan variabel dependen adalah yaitu keluhan muskuloskeletal. Analisis data yang digunakan univariate dalam bentuk distribusi frekuensi dan bivariate menggunakan Spearman Rank. Hasil: Mayoritas responden memiliki masa kerja >10 tahun (86.2%), postur kerja pada kategori risiko tinggi (58.6%), dan kategori keluhan muskuloskeletal yang tinggi (77.6%). Uji Spearman Rank menunjukkan, hubungan signifikan antara masa kerja dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal (p=0.002; r=.402) dengan kekuatan hubungan sedang, dan hubungan sangat signifikan antara postur kerja dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal (p<0.001; r=0.640) dengan kekuatan hubungan kuat. Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara masa kerja dan postur kerja dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada petani daun bawang.   Kata Kunci: Keluhan Muskuloskeletal; Masa Kerja; Petani; Postur Kerja.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a significant global public health problem, often referred to as the "silent killer" because it is often asymptomatic, yet it is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. At the Type B Regional General Hospital in North Sulawesi Province, cases of hypertension increased dramatically, from 405 cases in 2022 to 5,243 cases in 2024. Stress is a crucial determinant of health, as it can trigger increased blood pressure through psychophysiological mechanisms. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between stress levels and blood pressure in outpatients. Method: This study used a cross-sectional, observational, and analytical design involving 137 outpatient respondents. The study was conducted at the Type B Regional General Hospital in North Sulawesi Province from 15th of September to 30th of October, 2025. Data on stress levels were collected using a questionnaire, and blood pressure was measured using a standard instrument. Data analysis used the Spearman's rho correlation test to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between variables in the population. Results: Respondents were predominantly of productive age (36–45 years) and female (55.5%). Univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents had normal stress levels (72.3%) and normal blood pressure (53.3%), influenced by medication adherence. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between stress levels and blood pressure (p=0.043) with a positive correlation (r=0.173), meaning that higher stress levels lead to higher blood pressure. Conclusion: From a public health perspective, non-pharmacological stress management programs and healthy lifestyle education are integral parts of primary health interventions to control the prevalence of hypertension in the community.   Keywords: Blood Pressure; Hypertension; Outpatients; Stress Levels.   Pendahuluan: Hipertensi merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat global yang signifikan, sering disebut sebagai “silent killer” karena sering kali tidak bergejala, namun menjadi faktor risiko utama penyakit kardiovaskular. Di RSUD Tipe B Provinsi Sulawesi Utara, terjadi lonjakan kasus hipertensi yang sangat drastis dari 405 kasus pada tahun 2022 menjadi 5,243 kasus pada tahun 2024. Salah satu determinan kesehatan yang krusial adalah stress karena melalui mekanisme psikofisiologis dapat memicu peningkatan tekanan darah. Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat stres dengan tekanan darah pada pasien rawat jalan. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan studi observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross-sectional yang melibatkan 137 responden pasien rawat jalan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Tipe B Provinsi Sulawesi Utara pada bulan 15 September – 30 Oktober 2025. Data tingkat stres dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dan tekanan darah diukur dengan alat standar. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman’s rho untuk melihat kekuatan dan arah hubungan antarvariabel dalam populasi. Hasil: Karakteristik responden didominasi oleh kelompok usia produktif (36–45 tahun) dan perempuan (55.5%). Analisis univariat menunjukkan mayoritas responden berada pada tingkat stres normal (72.3%) dan tekanan darah normal (53.3%), dipengaruhi oleh perilaku kepatuhan pengobatan. Uji bivariat menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat stres dengan tekanan darah (p= 0.043) dengan arah hubungan positif (r=0.173), berarti semakin tinggi tingkat stres, maka semakin tinggi tekanan darah. Simpulan: Berdasarkan perspektif kesehatan masyarakat, penguatan program manajemen stres nonfarmakologis, dan edukasi gaya hidup sehat sebagai bagian integral dari intervensi kesehatan primer untuk mengendalikan prevalensi hipertensi di masyarakat.   Kata Kunci: Hipertensi; Pasien Rawat Jalan;Tekanan Darah; Tingkat Stres.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in the elderly can impair blood flow to the brain and lead to a decline in cognitive function; this makes it a health issue requiring attention within the elderly population. Purpose: To determine the cognitive function profile of elderly patients with hypertension. Method: This study employed an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 81 elderly patients with hypertension selected via purposive sampling. The study was conducted from December to January 2026 at the Tuminting Community Health Center. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire was used to assess cognitive function. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 60–69 years (61.7%), female (58.0%), and diagnosed with stage I hypertension (56.8%). Meanwhile, most respondents exhibited normal cognitive function (84.0%), followed by possible cognitive impairment (9.9%) and definite cognitive impairment (6.2%). Conclusion: The majority of elderly patients with hypertension at the Tuminting Community Health Center demonstrated normal cognitive function. However, some respondents were found to have cognitive impairment. Therefore, routine monitoring and management of hypertension are necessary to prevent cognitive decline in the elderly.   Keywords: Cognitive Function; Elderly; Hypertension.
