Abstract

Introduction: Workplace safety remains a critical issue, and using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential to reducing occupational hazards. Employee attitudes are important in shaping safety behaviors and compliance with protective measures. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between employee attitudes and compliance with PPE use among workers in a manufacturing company. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 35 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using two validated questionnaires: one assessing employee attitudes toward PPE use (10 items, Likert scale) and another evaluating PPE compliance (8 items, 0–3 scale). Based on median values, scores were categorized as positive or negative attitudes and compliant or non-compliant behavior. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions and the Chi-Square test. Results: Most participants were male (71.4%) and aged 30–39 (42.8%). 57.1% of respondents reported positive attitudes toward PPE use, while 51.4% demonstrated compliance. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between employee attitudes and PPE compliance (p = 0.002), with 75% of workers with positive attitudes adhering to PPE protocols compared to 20% with negative attitudes. Conclusions: Positive safety attitudes were strongly linked to higher PPE compliance, emphasizing the need to integrate behavioral and organizational interventions alongside technical measures to promote workplace safety. Although the study provides valuable insights, its cross-sectional design and small sample size limit generalizability. Future studies should adopt longitudinal approaches and include diverse populations to guide targeted safety strategies.

Abstract

Introduction: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy is critical in supporting maternal health and fetal development. However, many pregnant women do not adhere to recommended dietary practices, which may increase the risk of complications. Nutrition counseling has been proposed to improve compliance with healthy dietary behaviors. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition counseling on improving dietary compliance among pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group was employed. Forty pregnant women in their second and third trimesters were recruited and assigned to two groups: an intervention group receiving structured nutrition counseling and a control group receiving routine antenatal care. Dietary compliance was assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after a four-week intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group comparisons and independent t-tests for between-group differences. Results: The intervention group showed a significant improvement in dietary compliance scores after counseling (mean increase 0.85, p < 0.005), whereas the control group demonstrated no significant change (mean increase 0.15, p = 0.120). Post-intervention comparisons indicated a significantly higher compliance score in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.001; α<0.05). Conclusions: Nutrition counseling was effective in enhancing dietary compliance among pregnant women. Integrating structured counseling into antenatal care has the potential to foster healthier eating behaviors, reduce pregnancy-related complications, and improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Further research is needed to examine long-term effects and its scalability in different healthcare settings.

Abstract

Anemia merupakan kondisi kekurangan kadar hemoglobin dalam darah yang menjadi permasalahan utama gizi di Indonesia, terutama disebabkan oleh defisiensi zat besi. Kondisi ini memiliki dampak negatif yang signifikan terhadap remaja, termasuk menurunkan konsentrasi belajar, mengurangi kemampuan untuk mengikuti aktivitas di sekolah, serta melemahkan daya tahan tubuh. Khususnya pada remaja perempuan, anemia meningkatkan risiko terhadap komplikasi serius seperti anemia selama kehamilan, perdarahan, kelainan bawaan pada bayi, Bayi Berat Lahir Rendah (BBLR), dan stunting pada anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara konsumsi zat gizi mikro dengan kejadian anemia pada remaja putri. Metodologi penelitian menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional dan desain deskriptif analitik dengan melibatkan 30 remaja putri sebagai sampel. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner yang dirancang untuk mengumpulkan data tentang jenis, frekuensi, dan jumlah asupan makanan serta kebiasaan diet responden. Selain itu, dilakukan pengukuran kadar Hemoglobin (Hb) untuk menentukan kejadian anemia. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan (p = 0,001) antara tingkat konsumsi zat gizi mikro dan kejadian anemia pada remaja putri. Hal ini menegaskan pentingnya asupan gizi mikro yang memadai dalam pencegahan anemia di kalangan remaja putri. Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap anemia pada remaja putri, serta memberikan dasar bagi pengembangan intervensi gizi yang lebih efektif untuk mengurangi prevalensi anemia di Indonesia.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnancy remains a major public health problem in developing countries. Iron supplementation programs are widely implemented; however, their effectiveness is often limited by low compliance. Therefore, alternative interventions based on functional foods that are more acceptable and sustainable are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of palm fruit pudding (Borassus flabellifer) fortified with Moringa leaf extract (Moringa oleifera) in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women. A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted involving 30 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters, divided into an intervention group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The intervention group received fortified pudding for 30 days, while the control group received nutritional education and iron supplementation. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, independent t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that both groups experienced an increase in hemoglobin levels; however, the increase was greater in the intervention group compared to the control group. The mean hemoglobin change in the intervention group was 1.32 ± 0.13 g/dL, while in the control group it was 0.95 ± 0.19 g/dL, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that palm fruit pudding fortified with Moringa leaf extract is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in pregnant women and has potential as a local functional food-based intervention for anemia prevention.
