Abstract

This study aimed to identify the factors influencing neck pain complaints among garment convection tailors in Medan City. A total of 44 tailors from a convection workshop on Jl. Denai were included as the study's population and sample, utilizing a total sampling technique. The research employed a cross-sectional analytical survey design with data analysis using the Chi-Square test. The findings from the bivariate analysis showed a significant association between neck pain complaints and three key factors: years of service (p=0.021), work duration (p=0.044), and work posture (p=0.000). Specifically, a higher percentage of severe neck pain was found in workers with fewer years of service and longer work durations (more than 8 hours a day). The analysis also revealed that age (p=0.717) and lighting (p=0.062) were not statistically significant factors. A subsequent multivariate analysis identified work posture and work duration as independent factors influencing neck pain, with work posture being the most dominant variable (p=0.000). The multivariate analysis for work posture had an odds ratio of 64.346, indicating a strong positive correlation with severe neck pain. However, a contradictory result for work duration in the multivariate analysis suggested a need for re-examination of its coding. The study concludes that workload, work duration, and working posture are the primary factors influencing neck pain complaints in convection tailors, with work posture being the most dominant. These findings highlight the importance of ergonomic interventions, proper posture, and regulated work hours to mitigate occupational health risks in this population.

Abstract

Background: Childhood visual impairment, largely stemming from preventable or correctable conditions such as uncorrected refractive errors, remains a significant global public health challenge. School-based vision screening programs are effective for identification, but their impact is often limited by poor parental and child adherence to follow-up care and recommended preventive behaviors. Health promotion interventions utilizing various media formats have emerged as a strategy to bridge this gap. This mini-review synthesizes evidence from the past decade on the effectiveness of media-based health promotion for educating children and their caregivers about eye health. Methods: Drawing on peer-reviewed literature, this review examines the impact of digital, broadcast, and specialized print media on outcomes including spectacle compliance, referral adherence, and knowledge improvement. Results: Evidence indicates that culturally tailored interventions utilizing diverse media channels can significantly improve eye health behaviors. The review identifies that successful interventions are characterized by cultural relevance, community engagement in development, and the strategic use of multiple media platforms to create reinforcing messages. Key findings from the literature include a 12% reduction in myopia incidence through combined health education and outdoor activity programs, the cost-effectiveness of musical messaging in improving referral adherence, and the potential of digital platforms for delivering scalable education. Conclusion: However, challenges remain in ensuring long-term behavior change and addressing the needs of children with disabilities. Future research should focus on comparative effectiveness studies, long-term sustainability, and the integration of innovative technologies with personalized education to maximize the public health impact of these interventions.
