This can contribute to eye strain which is one of the most common symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). CVS may associated with musculoskeletal disorders, especially at upper extremities due to non-ergonomic body position, which can be referred to as Upper Limb Disorders (ULD). Therefore, CVS can affect the severity of ULD.Purpose: To explain correlation between CVS with ULD to students at Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya.Methods: Analytics observational was the type of this research and the research design was cross sectional study.Result: The groups of respondents who experienced CVS with the severity of ULD on a scale 0 (A): no pain; scale 1 (B): moderately painful; scale 2 (C): painful; scale 3 (D): very painful were found to be 34.3%, 25%, 2.3% and 0%. And the groups of respondents who did not experience CVS with the severity of ULD on a scale 0 (A), scale 1 (B), scale 2 (C), and scale 3 (D) were found to be 35.5%, 2.9%, 0%, and 0%. Results from Spearman test found that the p=0.000 so there’s a significant correlation between the two variables with a weak correlation coefficient (r=0,39).Conclussion: There was correlation between CVS and ULD with a weak correlation coefficient value in students at Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya

Abstract

Psychological stress is the body’s way to cope with stressors. We are not able to evade stressors. In fact, we need stressors to keep ourselves going. So stress to an extent is a good thing. It is harmful when it becomes a distress, in which it starts to affect our bodily function, including our sleep quality. Psychological stress will activate the body’s HPA-axis and the sympathetic pathway of the autonomic nervous system, releasing hormones such as Cortisol and Catecholamine. These hormones can cause the disturbance of sleep. The aim of this study is to find the relation between the level of stress and the sleep quality in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) was used to calculate the level of stress and PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) was used to calculate sleep quality. In this study we found that the level of stress is related to sleep quality in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The relation is positive, significant (P = 0.002), and moderate (r = 0.4). To conclude, there is a relation between stress and sleep in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Nyeri punggung bawah (NPB), seperti yang didefinisikan oleh Persatuan Dokter Saraf Indonesia (PERDOSSI), merupakan persepsi nyeri yang terlokalisasi pada daerah punggung bagian bawah, dapat berupa nyeri lokal atau radikuler, atau keduanya. Nyeri ini terjadi di antara sudut iga terbawah dan lipat bokong bawah, yang merupakan daerah lumbal atau lumbosakral, seringkali disertai dengan penjalaran nyeri ke arah tungkai dan kaki. Berdasarkan penelitian multisenter PERDOSSI, sebanyak 18,37% dari 819 orang yang menjadi subjek penelitian pada 14 rumah sakit pendidikan Indonesia pada Mei 2002 mengalami NPB. Kejadian NPB ini terkait dengan berbagai faktor risiko, termasuk karakteristik pekerjaan, faktor lingkungan, aktivitas fisik, serta faktor genetik. NPB menjadi masalah kesehatan global yang umum, menyebabkan pembatasan aktivitas dan disabilitas kerja. Pentingnya penanganan NPB tercermin dalam data disabilitas terkait NPB di negara Barat, di mana sekitar 45-55% populasi pekerja mengalami NPB dalam periode 12 bulan. Penanganan NPB melibatkan pendekatan farmakologis dan non-farmakologis. Kegiatan ini merupakan kegiatan penyuluhan kesehatan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat umum mengenai nyeri punggung bawah.

Abstract

Memory is the human ability to receive and store information. With increasing age, the brain's work function will also experience a decline, which will have an impact on individual cognitive function. Memory decline is a common thing that occurs in people of older age. Rosemary essential oil is one of the additional therapies that are useful in improving working memory and short-term memory. This study aims to determine the effect of rosemary essential oil on short-term memory in elderly people. This research is quasi-experimental with group control, with data collection techniques, namely, random sampling. The research was measured using the digit span test as a short-term memory test involving 32 elderly respondents with an age range of 65-85 years. This research was conducted by administering rosemary essential oil to the treatment group and jojoba oil to the control group by inhalation using a mask for 7 days in the morning, with the results of the pretest and posttest comparison between the two groups then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results obtained from the study were that there was a significant value in the experiment group given rosemary essential oil, namely with a p-value of (p<0.005), which means that there is an influence between rosemary essential oil and short-term memory.

Abstract

Introduction: Ischemic strokes making up over three quarters of all cases are a major global cause of disability and mortality. Survivors face a 15% risk of recurrence within two years, with recurrent strokes often resulting in more severe neurological damage and increasing the risk of death and long-term disability. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed medical records from Gotong Royong Hospital in Surabaya from January 2023 to June 2024, selecting patients with acute ischemic stroke and a history of prior strokes. The data were descriptively analyzed and further examined using bivariate analysis to identify correlations with recurrent stroke episodes, followed by a multivariate regression analysis. Results: The study recruited 87 participants, predominantly male (64.4%), with an average age of 63.2 years and varying medical histories, including hypertension (79.3%), diabetes mellitus (46%), and dyslipidemia (31%). Bivariate analysis revealed no significant correlations between hyperten
