Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that more than 2 million health workers are exposed to injuries from sharp objects, including injuries from needle sticks, every year. Health workers experience more than 2 million injuries from sharp objects at work every year. This injury causes approximately 16,000 cases of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, 66,000 cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and 1,000 cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Objective: determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the use of personal protective equipment with work accident rates among Merdeka Health Center health workers in 2025. Method: This research uses an analytical observational research type with the research design used is a cross-sectional study with a sampling technique using the Total Sampling technique. 31 respondents had data according to the inclusion criteria. The data in this study are primary data because they were collected by the researcher himself and obtained directly from the respondents. Information was collected through a digital questionnaire sheet that would be given to the respondents. Before filling out the questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods by the spss application.Results: There is a significant relationship between knowledge and the incidence of work accidents (P value 0.015) with an Odds Ratio value of 0.111 and a Confidence Interval of 0.019-0.645. There is a significant relationship between attitude and the incidence of work accidents (P value 0.022) with an Odds Ratio analysis of 0.105 and a Confidence Interval of 0.016-0.713. There is a significant relationship between the practice of using personal protective equipment and the incidence of work accidents (P value 0.004) with an Odds Ratio analysis of 0.071 and a Confidence Interval of 0.012-0.442.Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices of using personal protective equipment and work accidents among health workers at the Merdeka Health Center, Bogor City in 2025.

Abstract

Medical students are at high risk for musculoskeletal issues due to heavy academic workloads and prolonged sedentary habits. This study aims to investigate the relationship between physical activity intensity, sitting duration, and the incidence of low back pain (LBP) among students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Kristen Indonesia, in 2025. An analytical observational research method with a cross-sectional design was employed. A sample of 104 participants was selected using simple random sampling, and data were collected through the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The findings revealed that 51.9% of respondents experienced LBP, with 76.9% of students sitting for more than seven hours daily and 55.8% maintaining low physical activity levels. Statistical analysis using the chi-square test demonstrated a significant correlation between prolonged sitting duration and LBP incidence (p = 0.021). Conversely, physical activity levels showed no significant association with the occurrence of LBP (p = 0.984). In conclusion, excessive sitting duration is a primary risk factor for LBP in medical students, while physical activity levels do not directly influence its occurrence in this population. These results suggest an urgent need for ergonomic education and the promotion of active lifestyles to mitigate spinal health issues.
