Abstract

Introduction: Neuropathy, a disorder affecting the nervous system in the limbs, poses a significant concern for bentor drivers due to their occupational activities. The early detection of neuropathy through sensory nerve examinations is essential for timely medical intervention and the prevention of serious complications. This study aimed to assess the incidence of neuropathy among bentor drivers in Gorontalo City, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this issue.Method: An observational study utilizing quantitative descriptive methods was conducted in July 2024. The sample comprised 30 bentor drivers in Gorontalo City, selected through purposive sampling. Neuropathy was evaluated based on sensory nerve examinations in the lower limbs, utilizing the Neuropathy System Score (NSS) and the Neuropathy Deficit Score (NDS) questionnaires.Results: According to NSS and NDS assessments, the incidence rates of neuropathy were 73.3% and 66.6%, respectively. Most participants exhibited moderate neuropathy as indicated by NSS (30.0%) and mild neuropathy according to NDS (43.3%).Conclusion: The screening results indicate a relatively high incidence of neuropathy among bentor drivers in Gorontalo City, underscoring the necessity for early detection programs. This study advocates for further research to identify factors contributing to neuropathy within this group, engaging stakeholders in the ongoing pursuit of enhancing occupational health.Key words: Bentor driver, lower extremity, nervous system, neuropathy, occupational health

Abstract

The problems of waste are not only in Indonesia, but throughout the world. Waste production continues to increase along with population growth, changes in consumption patterns and people's lifestyles. This article discusses efforts to improve infrastructure quality through sustainable waste management with education about the importance of protecting the environment at SDN 11 Batudaa Pantai, Lamu Village. This research aims to increase environmental awareness among students through Real Work Lecture (KKN) activities. The method used includes three stages: preparation, implementation of educational and practical programs, and evaluation. Activities include education about types of waste, including making crafts from waste and waste management practices, including making crafts from organic and inorganic waste. The results show that students initially did not understand the types of waste and the 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). However, after education, they showed better understanding and increased motivation to keep the environment clean. It is hoped that this program can become an example for sustainable waste management and improving environmental quality in the future.

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
