Abstract

Background : Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent a major occupational health concern among agricultural workers in Indonesia. These conditions commonly arise from repetitive workloads, awkward or non-ergonomic body positions, and insufficient understanding of ergonomic practices. As a result, farmers may experience ongoing discomfort, reduced work capacity, and a decline in overall well-being. Objective : The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an Ergonomics Exercise Program (EEP) in alleviating musculoskeletal complaints among farmers. Methods : This study applied a pre- and post-intervention design involving 85 farmers. Symptoms related to musculoskeletal disorders were evaluated before and after the intervention using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Nordic Body Map (NBM). The Ergonomics Exercise Program was carried out over a two-week period, with participants performing 10-minute exercise sessions each day prior to starting work. The intervention focused on flexibility training, strengthening of core muscles, and correction of working posture. Changes in MSD symptoms were analyzed statistically to determine the effect of the program. Results : Before the intervention, 54% of participants reported mild pain, while 46% experienced moderate pain levels. The most commonly affected body areas included the calves (62.3%), lower back (45.8%), arms (40%), and shoulders (28.2%). Following the implementation of the Ergonomics Exercise Program, a statistically significant reduction in musculoskeletal complaints was observed (p < 0.05), particularly in the lower back, shoulders, and calves. Conclusion : The findings indicate that the Ergonomics Exercise Program effectively reduced musculoskeletal disorder symptoms among farmers. Incorporating ergonomics-based exercise routines into agricultural nursing and occupational health initiatives may offer a practical and sustainable approach to improving worker health and preventing MSDs in rural farming populations in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Childhood 0-6 months is a crucial time period in human development. Data on developmental delays in West Java in 2024 show that around 30% of children in West Java experience developmental delays, with around 80% due to lack of stimulation. Stunting, which is a form of development delay, is also targeted to decrease significantly in West Java, from 21.7% to 14-15% in 2024. The relationship between mother and child is a context of maternal sensitivity. A sensitive mother will respond quickly and appropriately to the needs of the child, provide warm attention, and create a strong emotional bond between mother and child which is an important foundation for the child's future social and emotional development. Objective: to find out what factors can influence maternal sensitivity in babies aged 0-6 months. Method: this research uses quantitative research methods,With a total sample of 113 respondents, the sampling technique in this study used a non-probability sampling technique and the criteria for respondents were mothers who had babies aged 0-6 months using the NACTS (Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale) questionnaire. The CVI of maternal sensitivity scale ranged between 0.80 to 1.00. After reviewing the items (N = 36), the S-CVI was 0.87 for clarity and the S-CVI was 0.9 Results: The results show a p-value <0.05 for the variables number of children and family income. From this, it can be concluded that the factors that influence maternal sensitivity are these two variables. Conclusion: Of the several factors that influence maternal sensitivity, namely the number of children and family income are the most influential.
