Abstract

Community service activities are carried out to educate the community about complementary therapies that can be done as an alternative for elderly people with hypertension, one of which is non-pharmacological medicine, namely hypertension exercises and foot massage. Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease that can cause complications in the brain, eyes, heart, kidneys, and peripheral blood vessels. Hypertension is a condition where a person experiences an increase in blood pressure above normal which can result in morbidity and mortality. This community service was carried out for 3 days at the Dusun Tamelang Elderly Posyandu which was carried out on 20 respondents of hypertension gymnastics and 20 respondents of foot massage. This community service activity involves students, lecturers and cadres of Dusun Tamelang. The stages of activities discussed were blood pressure checks, as well as demonstrating hypertension exercises and foot massage for elderly people with hypertension.

Abstract

Work accidents in healthcare facilities, such as community health centers (Puskesmas), pose a serious problem that affects the safety and well-being of healthcare workers. This study aims to evaluate the impact of occupational safety awareness programs on reducing the incidence of work accidents at Puskesmas Klari, Karawang. The research uses a quantitative approach with an analytical survey design, involving 50 healthcare workers as respondents using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analysed using logistic regression to determine the impact of safety awareness on the occurrence of work accidents. The results show that safety awareness programs significantly influence the increase in healthcare workers' awareness, which is followed by a decrease in work accident rates. The "Aware" group saw a 30% increase in awareness after training, and this group experienced a 20% reduction in work accident incidents. The "Somewhat Aware" group also showed a 15% increase in awareness and a 20% decrease in incidents. However, the "Unaware" and "No Response" groups demonstrated lower improvements in awareness and reductions in incidents, with increases of only 5% and 10%, respectively. This indicates that the current awareness programs are still not fully effective for groups with low awareness or those who are apathetic. The conclusion of this study is that comprehensive and continuous occupational safety awareness programs can increase awareness and reduce the incidence of work accidents at Puskesmas Klari. However, developing more varied training programs tailored to the specific needs of healthcare workers is necessary to achieve optimal effectiveness. Evidence-based and participatory safety policies also need to be implemented to strengthen workplace safety practices. This study provides significant contributions to developing occupational safety policies in healthcare facilities in Indonesia

Abstract

The correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an essential measure in preventing nosocomial infections within healthcare facilities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions on the proper application of PPE in improving compliance among healthcare workers in the HIV and TB clinics at the Klari Subdistrict Health Center, Karawang Regency. A quasi-experimental method was employed, utilizing a pretest-posttest design with a control group. A total of 30 healthcare workers were included as the study sample, divided into experimental and control groups. The educational intervention was conducted over two days, involving intensive training, simulations, and discussion sessions. The study results showed a significant increase in PPE compliance in the group that received the educational intervention, from 40% before the intervention to 60% afterward. Additionally, the proportion of healthcare workers with partial non-compliance decreased from 35% to 25%, while those who did not use PPE at all decreased from 25% to 15%. These findings highlight the importance of structured and continuous education in raising awareness and compliance among healthcare workers regarding PPE use, as well as the role of supervision and adequate PPE availability in maintaining consistent adherence to safety protocols. This study is expected to serve as a reference for the Health Office and other healthcare institutions in developing policies to improve occupational safety for healthcare workers
