Abstract

Evaluation of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) intervention testing is deemed necessary for air traffic controllers as their role in controlling aircraft airways requires high focus with stable physical and mental conditions. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation in improving health status, quality of life, and reducing psychological fatigue in air traffic controllers. A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design was employed, involving 184 participants separated into intervention and control groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the pulse rate, oxygen level, specific diastolic blood pressure, depression, anxiety, quality of life domains 1 and 2, as well as feelings of fatigue before and after progressive muscle relaxation was implemented with p<0.05 but not in control group at the end of the observation. The Mann-Whitney U-Test results indicated that anxiety and pulse rate are variables reduced significantly in the two groups. It can be concluded that the implementation of PMR is effective to improve the health status, quality of life, and reduce psychological fatigue among controller in Indonesia.

Abstract

The problem of anemia among adolescent girl in Indonesia is still very high. Many factors cause anemia in adolescent girl. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of anemia and its determinants in Banggai district. The research design was cross-sectional, with a sample of adolescent girls aged 12–18 years (n=326). Hemoglobin concentration was measured using a Hemocue hemoglobinometer. The Chi-square test and linear regression analysis were used for data analysis. The results showed that the prevalence of anemia was 48.8%, of which 44.0% had mild anemia and 48.4% had moderate anemia. From the bivariate analysis, anemia was significantly related to adolescent age, father's education, and eating habits (p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression shows that the factors that most influence the occurrence of anemia are age OR=1.7 (95% CI OR=0.20-0.05) and eating habits OR=2.2 (95% CI OR=0.29-0.81). It was concluded that the prevalence of anemia was high in adolescent girls. Intervention steps are needed to improve the anemia status of adolescent girls in Banggai district.
