Abstract

Cervical syndrome is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder among computer workers, primarily caused by prolonged static postures and poor ergonomic practices. It leads to chronic neck pain, muscle stiffness, and reduced work productivity. Addressing this issue, ergonomic interventions such as specialized cervical collars can help mitigate discomfort and prevent further complications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a customized cervical collar in reducing neck pain among computer workers in Karanganyar Regency. Specifically,  it investigates whether  a specially designed collar provides  more effective pain relief compared to commercially available collars. This study contributes to occupational health by proposing an ergonomic intervention that  may improve the well-being of computer workers. It highlights the potential benefits of  personalized cervical support, which may influence workplace ergonomic policies and musculoskeletal disorder prevention strategies. A pre- and post-test experimental design was used to assess pain reduction  using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The study involved 80 computer workers diagnosed with cervical syndrome. Participants underwent a baseline pain assessment using the VAS before the intervention. The intervention group used a customized cervical collar, while the control group used a standard commercial collar. Pain levels were reassessed after a specified intervention period. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to evaluate the significance of pain reduction, with additional correlation analysis conducted to examine relationships between pre- and post-intervention scores. The findings revealed a significant reduction in neck pain  within the intervention group. The mean pain score decreased from 4.29 to 2.25 (p < 0.001), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.401). Correlation analysis showed a meaningful relationship (r = 0.292, p = 0.009) between pre- and post-intervention pain levels, confirming the effectiveness of the customized cervical collar. This study demonstrates that a customized cervical collar is highly effective in reducing neck pain among computer workers. These results support its use as an ergonomic intervention  for preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Future research should explore long-term benefits and compliance rates  in various occupational settings.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy begins at conception and lasts until childbirth. During this period, pregnant women experience both psychological and physical changes that can lead to back pain. The initial cause of back pain is the forward growth of the uterus, which shifts the center of gravity of the earth towards the lower body. To help alleviate back pain in pregnant women, a maternity belt can be used to increase lumbopelvic stability by simultaneously pressing on the sacroiliac joint surface and positioning the sacroiliac joint in a specific position to enhance stability. In this research, before and after the intervention, the level of pain will be measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Objective: to determine whether the level of back pain in second-trimester pregnant women decreases after using a maternity belt. Method and Subjects: This study is a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test design. Samples were chosen using purposive sampling. The research instrument used the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with SPSS. Results: The pain scale before using the maternity belt had a minimum value of 3 (mild pain), a maximum value of 6 (moderate pain) with an average of 4.44 (moderate pain), whereas the pain scale after using the maternity belt had a minimum value of 1 (mild pain), a maximum value of 2 (mild pain) with an average of 1.32 (mild pain). Conclusion: There is an effect of using a maternity belt on the reduction of the degree of pain before and after using the maternity belt by 3.12 where p=0.000 (p<0.05)

Abstract

Pemanfaatan aplikasi digital berbasis gamifikasi memiliki potensi positif untuk meningkatkan minat dan motivasi belajar siswa, khususnya siswa di tingkat sekolah menengah pertama yang merupakan generasi native digital. Meskipun demikian, implementasi pemanfaatan aplikasi digital berbasis gamifikasi di lingkungan sekolah saat ini masih terbatas. Hal ini dapat terjadi karena masih kurangnya pengetahuan guru terkait jenis-jenis aplikasi digital berbasis gamifikasi yang dapat dimanfaatkan dalam pembelajaran. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, kegiatan pelatihan ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan guru sekolah menengah di Kabupaten Gowa dalam memanfaatkan aplikasi digital berbasis gamifikasi. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan utama, yaitu (1) pemaparan materi gamifikasi, (2) eksplorasi fitur aplikasi Blooket, serta (3) diskusi dan refleksi. Hasil dari pelaksanaan kegiatan ini menunjukkan respon positif dan para peserta pelatihan. Pelatihan ini memberikan implikasi penting bagi peningkatan kompetensi guru dalam era pembelajaran digital. Dengan meningkatnya pemahaman guru terhadap aplikasi berbasis gamifikasi, diharapkan proses pembelajaran menjadi lebih interaktif, menyenangkan, dan berpusat pada siswa. Selain itu, penerapan gamifikasi dapat berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar serta keterlibatan aktif siswa dalam proses pembelajaran.

Abstract

Abstrak. Permasalahan sanitasi masih menjadi tantangan serius di Kota Makassar, di mana pertumbuhan penduduk dan aktivitas ekonomi tidak selalu diikuti dengan pengelolaan lingkungan yang baik. Kondisi sanitasi yang buruk berpotensi menurunkan derajat kesehatan masyarakat karena meningkatnya risiko penyakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh status sosial ekonomi dan persepsi masyarakat terhadap kualitas sanitasi lingkungan serta menentukan faktor yang paling berpengaruh. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional dengan metode ex post facto. Sebanyak 323 responden dipilih secara acak dari lapisan sosial ekonomi di kawasan padat penduduk Kota Makassar. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket dan dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif serta regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan (β = 0,335; p = 0,000) dan pendapatan (β = 0,193; p = 0,006) berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kualitas sanitasi lingkungan, sedangkan persepsi masyarakat (p = 0,909) tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada penggabungan faktor pendidikan, pendapatan, dan persepsi masyarakat secara bersamaan untuk memahami hubungan sosial ekonomi dan sanitasi dalam kesehatan masyarakat, sehingga dapat menjadi dasar kebijakan peningkatan sanitasi dan pencegahan penyakit di perkotaan. Kata Kunci: Status Sosial Ekonomi; Persepsi Masyarakat; Sanitasi Lingkungan; Kota Makassar
