Abstract

Highlight: Healthcare professionals have a higher risk of suffering LBP than other industrial workers. Adult women who have a high body mass index are likely to experience LBP. Healthcare professional should maintain a healthy lifestyle to increase productivity and decrase mortality   ABSTRACT Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is musculoskeletal pain, tension, or stiffness that occurs below the costal margin and above the inferior gluteal folds, with or without sciatica. It has been found that healthcare professionals are more likely to experience LBP than other industrial workers. Many factors contribute to higher rates of LBP, including occupation, age, obesity, family history, lack of exercise, and psychosocial condition. Objective: To determine LBP’s prevalence and risk factors among healthcare professionals at John Piet Wanane General Hospital. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that included 158 healthcare professionals. The data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: The overall prevalence of LBP in this study was 62.7%. Descriptive statistics showed that LBP was most common in the female group (71.7%), age group 35-50 years (52.5%), overweight group (61.6%), married group (80.8%), never or rarely exercise group (84.8%), non-smoking group (85.9%), non-drinkers group (84.8%), and moderate perceived stress group (63.6%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI was significantly associated with LBP. Compared with underweight participants, overweight participants were four times more likely to experience LBP (OR = 4.344, 95% CI: 1.297-14.552). Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high prevalence of LBP among healthcare professionals. High BMI, especially being overweight, increases the risk of developing LBP. Overweight and obesity among healthcare professionals may affect their credibility in providing patients with healthy nutrition and exercise advice. Healthcare professionals should maintain a healthy lifestyle to increase productivity and decrease mortality.

Abstract

Highlight: Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Blood pressure variability, including early morning surge, increases stroke risk. Low education is associated with an increased risk of stroke due to limited health literact and lifestyle challenges.   ABSTRACT Introduction: Stroke has become the major cause of physical disability in adults and the second leading cause of death in middle- to high-income countries. Indonesia has the second-highest mortality rate and stroke burden in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, there is limited study on stroke in eastern Indonesia, especially in Papua. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical profile of stroke patients treated in John Piet Wanane General Hospital. Methods: This descriptive, hospital-based study was conducted at John Piet Wanane General Hospital, Sorong, Southwest Papua, from August 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024. Data were collected  through interviews and the identification of  subjects’ medical records based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: This study involved a total of 143 patients, with an average age of 58.17 ± 10.516 years. The gender distribution was nearly equal, with 52.4% women and 47.6% men. The subjects mainly had an overweight Body Mass Index (BMI) (39,2%) or a normal BMI (36.4%). Obesity and underweight were the least common with percentage of 18.9%% and 5.6% of subjects, respectively. Hypertension (75.5%), prior stroke (33.6%), and hyperlipidemia (33.6%) were the most frequently found among subjects. Diabetes mellitus was found in 29.4% of subects, followed by smoking (28.7%), a history of heart disease (21%), and alcohol consumption (14.7%).  Ischemic stroke was the most prevalent type of stroke (65.7%), followed by intracerebral hemorrhage (23,8%), transient ishcemic attack (TIA) (5.6%), subarachnoid hemorrhage (2.8%), and pontine hemorrhage (2.1%). Conclusion:This study revealed that ischemic stroke was the predominant subtype, while pontine hemorrhage was rare. Hypertension emerged as the most common risk factor, followed by prior stroke, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus, highlighting the substantial burden of modifiable vascular risk factors.
