Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a public health problem in Indonesia which tends to increase in its incidence and spread more widely. The Mosquito Nest Eradication Movement (Pemberantasan Sarang Nyamuk=PSN) is used as the main strategy in DHF control programs through community empowerment. Community service activities are realized through 3 stages, namely the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation stage. The subjects in this activity were members of the fishermen's association of Gisik Cemandi Village, Sidoarjo. PSN implementation analysis using a questionnaire. This activity was carried out in Gisik Cemandi Village, Sidoarjo, which was attended by 47 people. From the results of observation and analysis it was found that 36.17% of the residents had not yet carried out eradicating mosquito nests. Community empowerment was maximized as an effort to reduce the incidence of DHF through counseling with DHF material and eradicating mosquito nests with 5M, and distributing abate powder to residents. The people of Gisik Cemandi Village are enthusiastic about empowerment activities. A conducive environment and community participation are the basis for improving public health status, and it is hoped that it will improve the quality of life of coastal communities. Community empowerment is a comprehensive and significant process in increasing the ability and self-reliance of the community which aims to improve the quality of life of the community so that it will create a prosperous society

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major occupational health problem among informal sector workers, particularly fishing community members who perform repetitive and physically demanding tasks with limited ergonomic support. In Indonesia, coastal fishing communities often have inadequate access to occupational health services Objective: To assess the prevalence and severity of LBP among fishing community workers in Sukolilo Baru, Bulak, Surabaya, and evaluate the effect of a structured Back Pain Exercise (BPE) intervention combined with health education on pain intensity. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study with a pre–post intervention evaluation was conducted among 35 workers recruited through purposive sampling following STROBE and TIDieR guidelines. The intervention consisted of a structured health education session and a supervised BPE programme, with pain intensity measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS 0–10).  Results: LBP prevalence was 91.4% (n = 32), with 62.5% reporting moderate pain and 37.5% reporting mild pain. Following the intervention, all LBP-positive participants demonstrated a reduction in pain intensity (median NPRS decreased from 5.0 to 3.0; p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression identified work duration ?8 hours/day (aOR 4.82; 95% CI: 1.94–11.98; p = 0.001), frequent heavy lifting (aOR 3.91; 95% CI: 1.42–10.74; p = 0.008), and non-ergonomic posture (aOR 3.44; 95% CI: 1.21–9.77; p = 0.020)  Conclusion: BPE combined with structured health education is a feasible and effective non-pharmacological approach for reducing LBP severity in coastal informal work settings. Community-based occupational health programmes targeting ergonomic risk factors should be integrated into primary healthcare networks for vulnerable maritime workers.
