Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is pain or cramps felt in the lower abdomen before or during menstruation. Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common problems experienced by adolescents and adult women. Dysmenorrhea is often accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, sweating, back pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. There are 2 types of dysmenorrhea, namely primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea has a negative impact on women's quality of life. Pharmacological management has side effects of treatment, so there is a need for safer and more effective non-pharmacological management to reduce the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain. Non-pharmacological therapy consists of various non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments. This study uses a literature observation method or literature review, where the main sources of scientific articles come from national and international journals. The articles used in this study were articles published within a period of 5 years, namely 2020-2025 through the electronic databases PubMed and Google Scholar which were selected based on exclusion criteria and inclusion criteria. The purpose of this literature review is to determine non-pharmacological management of dysmenorrhea. The results of the literature review found 21 articles showing that there are several non-pharmacological therapies that are safe and effective in reducing the intensity of pain felt by dysmenorrhea sufferers such as Transcutaneous electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), music therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, warm compresses, exercise or aerobic exercise, and aromatherapy.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most common occupational health problems faced by workers in the agricultural sector, including sugarcane farmers in Indonesia. Excessive physical activity and performed without adequate ergonomic support make this group particularly vulnerable to musculoskeletal injuries. This study aims to synthesize determinant of MSDs among sugarcane farmers and to recommend targeted ergonomic strategies suitable for tropical agricultural environments through a literature review of scientific articles from relevant database. The findings indicate that MSDs are primarily influenced by repetitive work patterns, poor working posture, the use of non-ergonomic traditional tools, and adverse environmental conditions such as high temperatures and humidity. Additionally, psychosocial stress and limited access to ergonomic education and health facilities further exacerbate the condition. The review highlights the urgent need for comprehensive preventive strategies, including ergonomic interventions, occupational health education, improvements in working conditions, and psychosocial support. These efforts are essential to reduce the incidence of MSDs and enhance the occupational well-being of sugarcane farmers. The findings can guide policymakers in designing ergonomic-based agricultural health programs, especially among sugarcane farmers.

Abstract

Non-specific neck pain is a form of acute, subacute, or chronic neck pain, and there is no abnormal anatomical structure as the cause of the pain. Bad posture habits are a contributing factor to non-specific neck pain. This bad posture will cause muscle tension in the neck which can increase intramuscular pressure which can reduce circulation in the joints, as well as compression of the nervous system and blood vessels around it. This ends in the emergence of pain complaints. The cause of non-specific neck pain is multifactorial consisting of several risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for non-specific neck pain. The method used is article review. Searching for articles both nationally and internationally then summarizing the discussion topics and comparing the results presented in the article. Based on the review that has been done. Non-specific neck pain has a multifactorial cause consisting of several risk factors. Individual factors of non-specific neck pain include gender, age, BMI, and medical history. Work factors include duration of work, length of service, and work posture. Psychological factors include stress, depression, and lack of sleep. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity are also risk factors for non-specific neck pain.

Abstract

Gastritis a common health issue with high prevalence both globally and nationally. Acute gastritis often associated with lifestyle factors and stress, while chronic gastritis is primarly caused by infection of Helicobacter pylori. This review aims to provide a detail understanding of Helicobacter pylori transmission and risk factor for its infection. This review is a narrative literature review that comparing multiple studies about the topic. Literature was gathered from various database and analyzed to find relevant findings. Result of this study indicate that Helicobacter pylori transmission occurs trough multiple routes such as fecal-oral and oral-oral. Hygiene status and sociodemographic conditions are the most significant risk factor that influence this infection. Chronic gastritis a prevalent condition often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Risk factors for this infection include low socioeconomic status, poor hygiene, inadequate sanitation, and exposure to contaminated environments. H. pylori bacteria can persist for extended periods in specific environments, such as water, food, and dairy products, but struggle to survive in acidic conditions, such as found in yogurt. The prevalence of infection notably higher among children living in areas with poor sanitation and unhygienic food practices. Prevention strategies involve enhancing hygiene standards, improving sanitation, ensuring access to clean water, and promoting health education to minimize the risk of transmission. Early treatment is crucial to restore the gastric mucosa's health and prevent further damage.

Abstract

Hypertension in patients with diabetes mellitus is a significant clinical problem because it increases the risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. The pathophysiology of this condition involves interactions between insulin resistance, activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS), endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress, which trigger vasoconstriction, sodium retention, and increased vascular stiffness. Various clinical guidelines, including those of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), set a blood pressure target of <130/80 mmHg to reduce the risk of long-term complications. Evidence from clinical trials such as ABCD shows that intensive blood pressure control provides benefits in terms of the progression of retinopathy, albuminuria, and stroke risk. This article was compiled using a narrative review approach by examining the latest literature from international journals and clinical guidelines related to hypertension in diabetes. Sources were selected based on relevance, recency, and strength of evidence. The analysis was descriptive to summarize pathophysiology, blood pressure target recommendations, treatment options, and the role of lifestyle changes. Management of hypertension in diabetes requires a combination of pharmacological therapy and lifestyle modifications. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are the first choice due to their renal protective benefits, while calcium antagonists and thiazide diuretics are used as adjunctive therapy. Lifestyle interventions such as salt restriction, increased fruit and vegetable consumption, regular physical activity, weight loss, and alcohol restriction provide moderate blood pressure lowering effects and improve metabolic health. A comprehensive approach encompassing metabolic, pharmacological, and lifestyle management is crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes and hypertension.

Abstract

Healthcare workers represent an occupational group with a high risk of work related accidents, including biological exposure, injuries caused by sharp objects, exposure to hazardous chemical substances, and musculoskeletal disorders associated with ergonomic hazards. These risks are influenced by high workload, suboptimal use of personal protective equipment, and the incomplete implementation of safety procedures in healthcare settings. This study aims to identify the main types of hazards commonly experienced by healthcare workers and to analyze prevention strategies recommended in previous studies. The method used was a literature review by selecting relevant national and international scientific articles related to occupational accidents, needle stick injuries, chemical hazards, and ergonomic risks among healthcare workers. Selected articles were analyzed using a systematic literature review approach, focusing on key findings, contributing factors, and prevention recommendations reported in each study. The results indicate that needle stick exposure is the most frequently reported occupational accident among healthcare workers. In addition, chemical exposure from substances such as cytotoxic drugs and disinfectants, as well as musculoskeletal complaints caused by non ergonomic working techniques, are also commonly identified. Dominant contributing factors include inadequate occupational safety and health training, inconsistent use of personal protective equipment, weaknesses in healthcare facility risk management, and high workload. In conclusion, occupational accidents among healthcare workers are multifactorial and require comprehensive preventive measures through improved training, provision of safe working facilities, compliance with standard operating procedures, and strengthening of a safety culture in healthcare services.

Abstract

Low Back Pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints among Healthcare Workers, especially nurses, and directly affects quality of life, work performance, and productivity. The high physical demands of healthcare services increase the risk of Low Back Pain through multiple factors. Individual factors include age, body mass index, level of physical activity, and a history of back injury. Occupational factors involve non-ergonomic working postures, patient lifting and transfer activities, repetitive movements, prolonged working hours, and heavy workloads. This study aims to review the literature related to risk factors, impacts, and the effectiveness of preventive interventions for Low Back Pain among Healthcare Workers. The method used is a literature review of scientific articles retrieved from relevant international databases, focusing on Healthcare Workers as the primary population. The review results show that more than half of Healthcare Workers in various countries report experiencing Low Back Pain, with occupational factors identified as the main contributors. Reported impacts include increased absenteeism, decreased work performance, and a higher risk of developing chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Preventive interventions such as workplace ergonomic modifications and posture education demonstrate more consistent effectiveness in reducing the incidence of Low Back Pain compared to physical activity-based interventions or stretching exercises alone. Stretching exercises provide limited benefits when not combined with ergonomic improvements. Therefore, prevention of Low Back Pain among Healthcare Workers requires an integrated approach that combines education, application of ergonomic principles, and systematic workload management to reduce prevalence and mitigate its negative impact.

Abstract

Burnout is a common work-related stress syndrome among healthcare workers, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced professional achievement. This condition has a negative impact on service quality, worker health, and patient safety. Factors contributing to burnout include personal characteristics, sociodemographic factors, work environment conditions, high workload, and lack of organizational support. This study aims to review the literature on the factors that trigger burnout in healthcare workers and effective prevention strategies at the individual and organizational levels. The study used a literature review design with a search of articles in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords “burnout,” “healthcare workers,” “risk factors,” and “prevention strategies.” The articles included were publications from the last ten years, in Indonesian and English, and relevant to the research objectives. Data were synthesized narratively to identify risk factors and prevention strategies for burnout. Factors contributing to burnout included individual factors (age, gender, personality type), working conditions (high workload, overtime, interaction with patients), and organizational environment (managerial support, work culture). Effective prevention strategies combine individual interventions, such as mindfulness, CBT, and coping training, with organizational interventions, including supportive leadership, flexible policies, open communication, and empowerment of healthcare workers. Preventing burnout in healthcare workers requires a holistic approach that integrates individual and organizational strategies. Management and leadership support that emphasizes employee well-being is key to reducing burnout and improving the quality of healthcare services.

Abstract

Work-related diseases in the agricultural sector have shown a rising trend in recent years. Heavy physical activities involving non-ergonomic postures, heavy lifting, and repetitive movements increase the risk of injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints among workers in this sector. This case report aims to analyze low back pain in an oil palm harvester using the application of the seven-step occupational diagnostic approach. The seven-step occupational diagnosis was applied to determine the causal relationship between occupational exposure and the patient’s symptoms. Clinical diagnosis and management were conducted in accordance with clinical guidelines.The patient was an oil palm harvester with recurrent episodes of low back pain. Occupational analysis showed that the patient worked in prolonged non-ergonomic postures—standing with neck extension, frequent forward bending, and repetitive heavy lifting—for 15 years, with daily work durations of 8–10 hours. Based on the seven-step occupational diagnostic assessment, the patient’s condition was classified as an occupational disease. Management included pharmacological therapy and ergonomic education. This case highlights that non-ergonomic working postures, the use of non-ergonomic tools, repetitive movements, and heavy lifting significantly contribute to the development of low back pain among agricultural workers. Pharmacological treatment must be accompanied by preventive strategies through ergonomic education. This case report underscores the importance of physicians’ competency in establishing occupational diagnoses and providing comprehensive management for workers with occupational diseases
