Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) account for 74% of all major deaths worldwide. The characteristics of the work with the highest prevalence of NCDs are experienced by formal sector workers. The risk factor for NCD with the highest number in the group of formal workers is low physical activity. This study aimed to compare the impact arising from the intensity of physical activity on formal sector workers in the health and economic sectors based on previous studies. This study employed the method of literature review. The research population includes all articles published in accredited national and international journals between 2018 and 2023 on the impact of physical activity in the health and economic sectors on formal sector workers or office workers. The research sample consists of 11 articles chosen based on inclusion criteria determined by searching the Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Garuda databases. Articles were selected for their suitability of title, full text, and discussion of the impact of physical activity on formal workers. Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and lower back pain. Physical activity can also help workers' mental health. Several studies have found that physical activity has no effect on body fitness, risk of coronary heart disease, or worker productivity in the economy. Increasing physical activity in the formal sector, particularly at moderate to severe intensity, has a positive impact on workers' health. There was no significant impact of physical activity on economic improvements.

Abstract

Introduction: Hotel housekeepers face several occupational health hazards, including physical, emotional, and environmental stressors. These workers usually face various obstacles, such as physical strain, emotional stress, low income, etc. However, there has been minimal examination of these difficulties. This review aimed to investigate the occupational health challenges faced by hotel housekeepers. Method: A systematic review was carried out during August and September 2024, using databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The search focused on research published between 2014 and 2024, including keywords such as "occupational health, health challenges, housekeepers." After selecting publications based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven relevant studies were chosen for analysis. The review adhered to PRISMA criteria to achieve a thorough examination of the selected literature. Results: In accordance to the review, housekeepers commonly face physical pain, worry, and stress as a result of their employment. Many people relied on medication to keep working, despite the difficulty of taking sick days owing to job uncertainty. Low wages, along with inadequate equipment, fueled perceptions of abuse. Housekeepers were also exposed to dangerous substances, which could pose health hazards. Discrimination and working stress were strongly associated with chronic health issues. Conclusion: Our present review indicates that housekeepers experienced four key hurdles, including workplace concerns, employment security, physical and mental health issues. To ensure employees' health and well-being, employers should address wage discrepancies, provide proper work equipment, limit exposure to harmful chemicals, and give mental health support.
