Abstract

Introduction: Work-related fatigue poses a significant challenge to worker productivity and well-being, particularly in physically demanding sectors such as the bakery industry. This study investigates the association between psychological stress, physical workload, and work-related fatigue among informal bakery workers in Batang, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 52 workers over a two-month period (July–August 2022). Data were collected through direct observation, physiological measurements, and structured questionnaires covering worker characteristics, stress levels, workload (measured via heart rate monitoring), heat stress (WBGT index), and fatigue (measured using a reaction timer). Bivariate analysis (Fisher’s Exact Test) and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify significant predictors of fatigue. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that both work stress and workload were significantly associated with work-related fatigue. Workers experiencing psychological stress had nearly three times the odds of fatigue (OR = 2.901; p = 0.047), while those with heavy workloads had over nine times the risk (OR = 9.446; p = 0.007). In contrast, heat stress and work tenure were not statistically significant predictors. Conclusion: These findings highlight the critical role of stress and workload in contributing to occupational fatigue. Interventions such as mental health support, ergonomic task redesign, and workload management are essential for improving well-being and safety among informal bakery workers. Future studies should explore additional mediating factors, including coping mechanisms and workplace social support, to inform holistic fatigue prevention strategies.

Abstract

Perinatal mental health (PMH) disorders affect 15.6–37% of postpartum women, yet midwives report low confidence in detection and management due to inadequate training and protocols. This study evaluated midwives' readiness to handle postpartum PMH disorders in community health centers. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was used in eight Mataram City health centers (December 2023–January 2024). Quantitatively, 102 purposively sampled midwives completed validated questionnaires on sociodemographics, screening practices, and PMH handling, analyzed via chi-square tests. Qualitatively, thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with six informants (managers, midwives, and mental health nurses) explored referral experiences using N-Vivo. Most midwives (86.27%) did not handle PMH appropriately. The implementation of PMH data assessment (37.25%), screening (37.26%), and classification (22.56%) was low. Handling PMH significance association with screening (p=0.001, OR 14.31), classification (p=0.001, OR 23.22), and data assessment (p=0.009, OR 9.43). Age, education, experience, and training were not associated. Themes emphasized referral collaboration with family consent, consultation with mental health nurses/doctors, and hospitalization for the most serious cases. Midwives are not yet sufficiently prepared to address the perinatal mental health (PMH) needs of postnatal women. Poor screening uptake is a consequence of the absence of protocols and time limitations, and this highlights requirements for training and standardized pathways. Referral dependence is compensatory but inconsistent, mirroring global appeals for inter-professional approaches. Targeted PMH training and referral protocols are crucial in order to assist the development of midwives' skills to provide prompt care and reduce maternal-infant risk. Interventions should be tested in longitudinal studies across a variety of Indonesian contexts.

Abstract

Abstrak: Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) menjadi aspek yang sangat penting dalam industri pertambangan yang penuh risiko, terutama bagi pekerja yang setiap hari berhadapan dengan potensi kecelakaan dan paparan bahaya. Hasil observasi awal pada kelompok pekerja wanita di salah satu perusahaan tambang batubara di Kutai Kartanegara menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar dari mereka masih memiliki pemahaman terbatas mengenai prosedur keselamatan dasar. Banyak yang belum terbiasa menggunakan APD dengan benar, dan hampir tidak ada media pembelajaran yang menarik serta mudah dipahami yang dapat membantu mereka belajar secara mandiri. Kondisi ini menunjukkan perlunya pendekatan pembelajaran yang lebih dekat dengan kebutuhan mereka, khususnya media visual yang lebih komunikatif dan mudah diikuti. Melalui kegiatan pengabdian ini, tim berupaya meningkatkan pemahaman dan perilaku kerja aman pekerja wanita dengan memanfaatkan media visual interaktif. Program dirancang dalam tiga tahapan utama: penyuluhan K3 untuk membangun pemahaman dasar, workshop penggunaan APD dan identifikasi bahaya, serta pelatihan menggunakan video edukatif, infografis, dan simulasi VR/AR. Kegiatan berlangsung selama empat hari dan diikuti oleh 30 pekerja wanita berusia 24–45 tahun, melibatkan dosen K3, dosen DKV, mahasiswa KKN-T, dan mahasiswa PKL. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test, observasi, serta kuesioner kepuasan. Hasilnya menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan, dari skor awal 54,3% menjadi 89,5% atau naik 37,8%. Peningkatan terbesar terlihat pada keterampilan penggunaan APD dan kepatuhan prosedur. Sebanyak 92% peserta juga mengakui bahwa media visual interaktif membuat materi keselamatan lebih mudah dipahami dan menarik. Secara keseluruhan, pendekatan ini terbukti efektif dalam memperkuat kompetensi K3 dan mendorong budaya keselamatan yang lebih inklusif di lingkungan kerja pertambangan.Abstract: Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a critical component in the mining industry, where workers are continuously exposed to high risks of accidents and hazardous conditions. Initial observations conducted among a group of female workers at a coal mining company in Kutai Kartanegara revealed that many of them still had limited understanding of basic safety procedures. Several workers were unfamiliar with the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and they had minimal access to engaging and easy-to-understand learning materials that could support independent learning. These findings highlight the need for an educational approach that is more responsive to their learning characteristics, particularly through visual media that is more communicative and easier to follow. Through this community engagement program, the team aimed to enhance the safety knowledge and safe-working behaviors of female workers by utilizing interactive visual media. The program was structured into three key stages: an introductory OSH session to build foundational understanding, a workshop on PPE usage and hazard identification, and training sessions that incorporated educational videos, animated infographics, and VR/AR simulations. The activities were conducted over four days and involved 30 female workers aged 24–45 years, supported by OSH lecturers, Visual Communication Design lecturers, KKN-T students, and internship students. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests, post-tests, field observations, and satisfaction questionnaires. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement, with average scores increasing from 54.3% to 89.5%, reflecting a gain of 37.8%. The most significant improvements were noted in PPE mastery and procedural compliance. Furthermore, 92% of participants agreed that interactive visual media made safety materials easier to understand and more engaging. Overall, this approach proved effective in strengthening OSH competencies and fostering a more inclusive safety culture within the mining work environment.
