Abstract

Introduction: Impaired lung function is a functional disorder of the lungs that causes a slowing of airflow during respiration. Bentor drivers are a profession with a risk of decreasing lung function due to work activities that are always on the road and exposed to motor vehicle pollution. Exposure to cigarette smoke in active and passive smokers is also significant in causing several other respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this study was to describe the risk factors for impaired lung function in Bentor drivers in Gorontalo City in 2023.Method: The research was conducted in June 2023 on eligible Bentor drivers accidentally found in Gorontalo City. The research instrument used a questionnaire, stress perception scale (SPS), and spirometry.Results: The results obtained are the distribution of risk factors for impaired lung function in Bentor drivers in Gorontalo City in 2023, based on length of work found more work more than five years (63.33%), more work more than 8 hours a day (75%), had smoking habits with a smoking duration of more than ten years (58.3%) and smoked more than ten cigarettes a day (62.5%) and had a severe perception of stress (66.6%).Conclusion: Bentor drivers are one of the contributing factors in impaired lung function. There is a relationship between the risk factors for smoking, length of work, duration of exposure to pollution, and perception of stress with lung function in Bentor drivers in Gorontalo City. Key words: Bentor drivers, lung function, smoking, stress perception

Abstract

Introduction: The rate of sudden cardiac death among athletes is notably high due to cardiovascular disorders. However, there is a significant gap in fundamental electrocardiographic (ECG) data within the athlete population, particularly in Gorontalo Province. This study aims to describe the electrocardiography findings using international standards for athletes in Gorontalo Province, aiming to prevent the risk of sudden death through proactive early detection via ECG.Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive design, we employed total sampling techniques with a population of 80 active athletes. Data was collected through direct examinations using a high-quality, internationally standardized ECG device, followed by thorough descriptive analysis.Results: The results indicate that 90% of the athletes displayed normal ECGs, while 6.3% were classified as abnormal and 3.7% as borderline. Among the various athletic disciplines, endurance athletes showed a notable 9.4% rate of abnormalities, whereas athletes engaged in strength and mind sports consistently exhibited normal ECG results. Moreover, athletes in the productive age group (19–39 years) demonstrated a higher incidence of abnormalities than their counterparts in other age groups.Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of early electrocardiographic screening in athletes to identify potential cardiovascular risks and prevent sudden cardiac death. The findings reveal that most athletes in Gorontalo Province exhibit normal ECG results, followed by abnormal (6.3%) and borderline (3.7%) patterns, which undoubtedly require further investigation. These findings highlight the importance of regular ECG screening for active athletes to detect potential cardiovascular abnormalities early and prevent sudden cardiac events.Keywords: Athlete, cross-sectional studies, electrocardiography, international criteria, sudden cardiac death

Abstract

Introduction: Body image refers to an individual’s perception and evaluation of their physical appearance. A positive body image plays a crucial role in enhancing self-esteem, psychological resilience, and overall mental and physical well-being. In contrast, a negative body image has been linked to mental health problems, such as depression and disordered eating. This study aimed to examine the associations between various contributing factors and body image among medical students.Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 67 medical students, selected through total population sampling. Data collection instruments included the Figure Rating Scale, Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), a 24-hour dietary recall, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to assess self-confidence. All instruments exhibited acceptable levels of validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square and Binary Logistic Regression Methods.Results: Significant associations were identified between body image and physical activity (p = 0.040), self-confidence (p = 0.018), and body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI (OR = 1.766, p = 0.002, 95% CI [0.644–2.888]), self-confidence (OR = 0.311, p = 0.045, 95% CI [0.099–0.975]), and physical activity (OR = 1.966, p = 0.031, 95% CI [1.063–3.831]) were significant predictors of body image.Conclusion: Body mass index, self-confidence, and physical activity were significantly associated with body image. The implementation of educational and psychological support programs is recommended to promote healthy self-perception and behavioral patterns among medical students.Keywords: Body image, body mass index, medical, motor activity, self-concept, students

Abstract

Introduction: The work environment can pose risks of accidents or health issues for individuals or groups. Office jobs typically involve light tasks performed while seated at a desk in a well-equipped and comfortable workspace. However, such a work environment can create its own problems for workers, one of which is low back pain (LBP). This study aims to analyze the relationship between risk factors for low back pain among educational staff at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 186 educational staff at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, selected using cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) observation sheets to assess age, work experience, smoking habits, stress, and work posture. Data analysis used chi-square test to examine the relationships between variables and logistic regression to identify the most influential variables.Results: The statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between LBP and age (p = 0.001) and work posture (p 0.001). Other factors such as gender, work experience, smoking habits, and stress did not show a significant relationship with LBP. Age had the greatest influence on LBP (Exp (B) = 0.427).Conclusion: Age and work posture are factors associated with the occurrence of LBP. Improving sitting posture while working and taking regular breaks to stretch are necessary to reduce the risk of LBP. An appropriate prevention strategy is crucial to protect workers from LBP, which can also lead to increased productivity.                                      Keywords: Age, educator professional, low back pain, work posture
