Abstract

The occupation of weaving Tope Le’leng sarongs among the Kajang Ammatoa tribe carries a high risk of developing Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). This study aims to examine the relationship between occupational factors, specifically working posture and duration of work, and the prevalence of MSDs among Tope Le’leng weavers. This is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all Tope Le’leng sarong weavers in the Kajang Ammatoa tribe, Bulukumba Regency, totaling 42 individuals, with total sampling technique employed. Data were collected using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire to assess MSD complaints and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method to evaluate working posture. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed a significant relationship between working posture and MSD complaints (p = 0.000), as well as between duration of work and MSD complaints (p = 0.017). Based on these findings, it is recommended that workers take breaks every 1–2 hours during or after weaving for stretching exercises, and use seating cushions and backrests to reduce MSD risks.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Low public knowledge regarding hypertension risk factors and prevention remains one of the barriers to effective disease control. The development of Indonesian-based health education media is needed to improve community health literacy through the delivery of easily understandable health information. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method to develop Indonesian-based health education media in the form of leaflets, posters, and digital infographics on hypertension prevention. The research stages included needs analysis, media design, development, expert validation, and community trials. Validation was conducted by content experts, media experts, and language experts using a Likert scale instrument. The effectiveness of the media was measured by assessing changes in knowledge using a pre-test and post-test design. The validation results showed that the developed educational media obtained an average feasibility score of 94.0%, categorized as highly feasible. The trial results demonstrated an improvement in community knowledge, with the proportion of respondents in the good knowledge category increasing from 35% to 80%, while the moderate and poor knowledge categories decreased. In conclusion, Indonesian-based health education media is effective in improving community knowledge regarding hypertension prevention and can be utilized as a community-based health promotion medium.
