Abstract

Coal loading and unloading workers at Meulaboh Seaport are at high risk of accidents and health problems due to dust exposure, heavy workloads, and unsafe working conditions. Although the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) management program has been implemented, its execution remains low. Many workers are not disciplined in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), OSH training is not optimal, and supervision is still weak. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the implementation of OSH management programs among loading and unloading workers at Meulaboh Seaport. The study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design and involved 32 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate techniques. The results showed a significant relationship between work discipline (p = 0.005), training (p = 0.010), supervision (p = 0.022), and OSH evaluation (p = 0.010) with the implementation of the OSH management program. It is recommended that the management of Meulaboh Seaport, as the company’s policy maker, continuously improve the existing OSH management system to ultimately enhance worker performance, which will bring both financial and non-financial benefits to the seaport. For workers, it is advised to prioritize occupational safety and health by complying with the established OSH management system.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in coastal areas where family sanitation and hygiene conditions are inadequate. Padang Seuraheut Village, Johan Pahlawan Subdistrict, West Aceh, is a coastal area predominantly inhabited by fishing families with limited environmental sanitation, restricted access to clean water, and suboptimal hygiene practices. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family hygiene practices and the incidence of stunting among under-five children in the village. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and was conducted from August to December 2025. The study population comprised all children aged 12–59 months totaling 1,442, with a sample of 94 children selected using simple random sampling. Data on family hygiene practices were collected through mothers as respondents using questionnaires and observation checklists. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that all hygiene and sanitation variables were significantly associated with the incidence of stunting (p < 0.05). Poor handwashing practices with soap were strongly associated with stunting (100%), as were inadequate latrine conditions (75.0%), unhygienic food storage and preparation (76.6%), and improper waste and wastewater disposal (73.1%). These findings indicate that family hygiene practices and environmental sanitation play a substantial role in increasing the risk of stunting among under-five children. Improvements in sanitation facilities, family hygiene education, and community-based interventions in coastal areas should be prioritized as strategic measures for stunting prevention.
