Abstract

The present study examines the relationship between high altitude and anxiety levels among employees at one of Indonesia’s leading petrochemical company. Using a quantitative research design, the investigation focused on 42 employees working in distinct altitude zones within the facility. Data were collected over a six month period during normal operational hours, employing the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) as the standardized psychological assessment tool. Altitude measurements for work zones were recorded precisely, with categorized levels defines as low, moderate, high and very high altitude zone. Descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations, and range values, were computed and correlation tests conducted R programming to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between altitude and anxiety. Results revealed the mean HARS scores among 42 participants was 21.4 (SD = 5.7), with a range of 11 to 33 whilst a statistically significant positive correlation between increased altitude exposure and elevated anxiety scores (r = 0.68, p < 0.001), suggesting that higher work zone are associated with greater anxiety levels among employees. This study also discusses occupational health and safety concerns, ethical considerations, and the limitations intrinsic to a cross-sectional quantitative design. Implications for workplace design and employee well-being interventions are explored, with recommendations for future research addressing broader environmental and psychosocial variables.

Abstract

Stunting remains a public health issue in Indonesia, including in West Bandung Regency (KBB). Insufficient optimal nutrition is often exacerbated by poor appetite in children under two years old (Baduta) and pregnant women. This Community Service Program (PkM) aimed to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and skills (KAS) of the community particularly mothers and Posyandu cadres in Cisasawi Village in utilizing Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) as a locally sourced, affordable, and sustainable complementary nutrition intervention to address stunting risk. The PkM implementation involved pre-intervention, development of educational modules and media, education and demonstration, post-intervention, and follow-up stages. Participants consisted of 32 mothers of Baduta, pregnant women, and Posyandu cadres. Results showed a significant increase in the participants’ average knowledge scores, from 58.7 (poor category) in the pre-test to 85.3 (good category) in the post-test (p < 0.05). Additionally, 93% of participants demonstrated practical skills in processing Temulawak into simple syrup or powdered gelatin. Discussion indicated that Temulawak is effective as a natural appetite stimulant due to its curcuminoid and essential oil content, supporting increased daily calorie intake, which is crucial for stunting prevention. This PkM concluded that education based on local wisdom is an effective and sustainable strategy to support community nutrition improvement programs in Cisasawi Village.
