Abstract

Covid-19 is a new disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The increasing number of cases of Covid-19 has made it difficult for hospitals to handle it, and health workers are at a higher risk of infection by SARS-CoV-2 and urgently need Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect themselves and minimize the spread of the virus. However, the usage of PPE especially face-masks often causes discomfort. Therefore, a new type of face mask has emerged, namely the medical snorkel mask. This mask is designed to cover the entire face and is made by modifying the air circulation section by adding an air filter. The filter used is PALL Ultipor 25 with a HEPA filter capable of filtering up to 0.3 microns in size and has an efficiency of 99.99%. Medical snorkel mask that is used properly are quite efficient in preventing the transmission of Covid-19, with a fitting factor of 142 from pass level 100. This mask also has passed the CO2 toxicity test. The advantages of a medical snorkel mask include protecting the entire face from infectious droplets, preventing direct hand contact with the face, being reusable, and being equipped with an effective air filter by minimizing the potential for filtrate malfunction. Some of the disadvantages of this mask include interfering with the communication process, cannot being used in conjunction with glasses, a buildup of CO2, increasing the work of breathing, and limiting vision. However, some of these weaknesses can be minimized by modifying the mask and maintaining an optimal barrier system. Given the high level of effectiveness and efficiency, medical snorkel masks can be a novel solution to overcome the discomfort of using PPE for health workers in Indonesia. Hopefully, it can reduce the morbidity and mortality of health workers due to exposure to Covid-19.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is amongst the top 10 non-communicable diseases and is the leading cause of premature death worldwide. Multiple factors contribute to the occurrence of hypertension. Risk factors include modifiable ones, such as lifestyle, smoking habits, sleeping patterns, caffeine consumption, physical activity, high-sodium diet, and stress levels. On the other hand, factors such as gender and age are non-modifiable. A primary survey in Kalirejo, Lawang, showed that hypertension is the leading health issue. This research aims to analyze the association between body mass index, physical activity level, and stress level with hypertension in Kalirejo, Lawang.Method: This research is a correlative analytical descriptive study using the cross-sectional method that involves 99 residents aged ≥ 45 years old in Kalirejo. Results: This study revealed that the largest age group in Kalirejo is elderly people, with most respondents being female, non-smokers, and with no family history of hypertension. A majority of the respondents consume caffeine and use minimal salt. The largest BMI distribution is within the normal category (41.4%). High physical activity is found to be more frequent (45.5%), and stress level is primarily low (62.6%). Bivariate analysis shows a significant association between BMI and hypertension (p<0.05). Meanwhile, physical activity and stress levels are irrelevant to the occurrence of hypertension. This study discovered that there is a significant association between BMI and hypertension, and a non-significant association between physical activity and stress level with hypertension, respectively, among pre-elderly and elderly residents in Kalirejo.
