Abstract

Work climate refers to the interaction of environmental factors in the workplace. Fatigue is a common occupational health issue and can be affected by multiple factors such as work climate, age, gender, length of employment, and daily working duration. This study aimed to examine the relationship between work climate and work fatigue among furniture workers in Hertasning, Indonesia. A quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in several furniture workshops in December 2023. The study involved 30 furniture workers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the questionnaire to assess subjective feelings of work fatigue and a Heat Stress Monitor to measure workplace climate conditions. The results showed a statistically significant relationship between work climate and work fatigue (p = 0.028; p < 0.05), indicating that workers exposed to unfavorable work climate conditions were more likely to experience fatigue. These findings suggest that work climate plays an important role in influencing workers’ fatigue levels. Therefore, it is recommended that furniture business owners improve workplace comfort by providing adequate rest areas with appropriate temperature control and installing cooling facilities, such as fans, to reduce heat exposure and prevent work-related fatigue.

Abstract

Stunting is a manifestation of chronic undernutrition that occurs during critical periods of growth and development, beginning in early life. Adolescents play an important role in stunting prevention, as they represent future parents whose knowledge and awareness can influence child health outcomes. This study aimed to improve adolescents’ knowledge regarding stunting, its causes, and preventive measures as an early strategy to reduce stunting prevalence. A quantitative study design was employed using a pre-test and post-test approach. Health education sessions were delivered to adolescents in Tanetea Hamlet and Lembang Loe Hamlet, with knowledge levels measured before and after the intervention using the same questionnaire. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in adolescents’ knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.016; p < 0.05), indicating a meaningful difference between pre- and post-education scores. These findings suggest that health education interventions are effective in increasing adolescents’ understanding of stunting. It is recommended that structured training programs on stunting prevention be continuously provided for adolescents. Additionally, strengthening adolescents’ communication skills may enable them to disseminate stunting-related information to peers, families, and the wider community, while regular evaluations should be conducted to assess knowledge improvement and behavioral change outcomes.
