Abstract

Background: One of the occupational diseases caused by non-ergonomic work processes is musculoskeletal complaints. It is a disease that occurs in body structures, such as muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones, and the local circulatory system by occupational factors. PT INKA (Persero) is an industry engaged in inland transportation, especially railways with high potential and danger factors. Even though PT INKA (Persero) Madiun has lifting and transportation equipment, such as strollers, forklifts, cranes, and mines, there are still some manual handling jobs. Effective working days in one week are five working days. Data from the INKA Clinic (Polinka) in 2019 showed 3-4 workshop workers suffering from low back pain every month. The author realized the necessity to study ergonomics and MSDs complaints at PT INKA (Persero) Madiun. Research objectives: This study aimed to determine workshop workers' work posture at PT INKA (Persero) Madiun. Research Methods: This was a quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach that aimed to determine the dynamics of work posture effect on MSDs complaints at one time. Work posture assessment using the Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) method, along with other variables such as age, smoking, working period, and duration of work to measure complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) in 36 workshop workers of the Bogie PMK unit. The research data were analyzed and interpreted using Statistical Stata 13. Bivariate data analysis used Kendall's tautest. Results and Discussion: The workshop workers' Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints in the PMK Bogie Unit resulted from work posture and working period. When the exposure intensity level was high beyond the tolerance of the worker's body ability, it could result in fatigue felt by tired workers. Based on the assessment using the Ovako Working Postural Analysis System (OWAS) method, it is necessary to improve, especially on Macro Reforming, A Drilling, Grinding, and Welding work. This work posture was a risk of ergonomic hazards. The working conditions and work equipment used by workers were not per the worker's body posture, resulting in excessive muscle stretching, which led to complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Conclusion: There was a risk of ergonomics hazard due to a mismatch between the equipment used by workers and working conditions with the worker's body size.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Tersedak merupakan kondisi darurat yang dapat mengancam nyawa apabila tidak segera ditangani dengan tepat. Di wilayah Pakis Surabaya, pengetahuan dan keterampilan remaja mengenai pertolongan pertama tersedak masih rendah sehingga berpotensi menghambat upaya penyelamatan dini. Pemberdayaan remaja melalui pelatihan menjadi strategi penting untuk meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan dan kemampuan respons terhadap kondisi darurat tersebut. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan menggunakan pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif dengan melibatkan 60 remaja sebagai peserta. Pelatihan mencakup penyampaian materi, demonstrasi teknik Heimlich, serta praktik langsung menggunakan alat peraga. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test untuk menilai perubahan pengetahuan dan keterampilan. Analisis data menggunakan uji statistik komparatif untuk mengetahui signifikansi peningkatan setelah pelatihan. Hasil: Mayoritas peserta berada pada rentang usia 15–16 tahun (46,7%) dan sebagian besar belum pernah mendapatkan pelatihan sebelumnya (83,3%). Terdapat peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan, dari nilai rata-rata 62,35 menjadi 85,20 setelah pelatihan (p < 0,05). Keterampilan peserta juga meningkat secara bermakna, dari rata-rata 58,10 menjadi 88,65 (p < 0,05). Selain peningkatan skor, proporsi peserta dengan kategori baik meningkat tajam baik pada aspek pengetahuan maupun keterampilan. Kesimpulan: Pelatihan pertolongan pertama tersedak terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan remaja di wilayah Pakis Surabaya. Program ini berpotensi menjadi model pemberdayaan remaja dalam kesiapsiagaan darurat di lingkungan masyarakat. Rekomendasi diberikan untuk melanjutkan kegiatan serupa secara berkala guna memperkuat peran remaja sebagai agen penyelamat di komunitas.
