Abstract

Background: In 2020, lectures were passed online due to the pandemic Covid 19, but now it is offline as before. This method has increased hand duration for writing. Using a hand for long and repetitive duration can affect pathological abnormalities on the nerves that lead to complaints such as soreness, pain, numbness, and weakness. Of these symptoms, 90% refer to a pathological disorder named Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).Objective: To determine the relationship between writing activities and subjective complaints of CTS using research subjects of students of the Department of Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Diponegoro Semarang Indonesia. Methods: This study is analytical with a crosssectional method. CTS complaints were measured Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire(BCTS-Q). Data analysis was performed using univariate analysis and Spearman correlation bivariate analysis. Results: 99 respondents fit the criteria that experience subjective complaints of CTS based on the BCTS-Q; 69.7% mild, 4% moderate, and 1% very severe. There was no correlation between duration (p= 0.852), frequency (p = 0.824), and rest time of writing (p = 0.285) with subjective complaints of CTS. It could be the cause of high subjectivity in interpreting the severity of CTS without a physical examination and difficulty in recalling the time they needed to write in one week. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the duration, frequency, and length of rest time of writing and subjective complaints of CTS.

Abstract

Background: Hajj pilgrims are expected to be able to walk a minimum of 12 kilometers. Therefore, good physical fitness is required. COVID-19 is a disease that can cause deconditioning of heart and lung function. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of COVID-19 history on cardiorespiratory fitness of hajj pilgrim candidates. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on prospective hajj pilgrim candidates in Salatiga City aged 50-70 years who fit the inclusion criteria. Subject characteristics such as age, comorbid history, and exercise history were collected from subject interviews. Body Mass Index (BMI) was measured by calculating height and weight. Physical activity history was assessed using Indonesian version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using the six minutes walking test (6MWT). Data were analyzed using comparative test. Results: A total of 32 subjects with a history of COVID-19 with 31 mild symptoms and 1 moderate symptom, and 101 subjects without a history of COVID-19 were included as research subjects. There was significant difference in age (p=0.006) and education (p=0.003) between subject with COVID-19 history and without COVID-19 history (p=0.006). The VO2max result from 6MWT in subjects with history of COVID-19 were significantly lower than those in subjects without a history of COVID-19 (p=0.007, 14.54±3.54 mL/kg/min vs 16.36±3.19 mL/kg/min). Conclusion: COVID-19 history affects the cardiorespiratory fitness of hajj pilgrim candidates. Endurance training should be recommended for Hajj pilgrim candidates with a history of COVID-19 to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain is a frequently occurring symptom closely associated with society, both in Indonesia and globally. It can be influenced by both unmodified and modified factors, such as excessive physical activity, obesity, body posture, and psychological factors. Considering these risk factors, it is known that individuals in the productive age range (<45 years) have a significant risk of experiencing low back pain. Objective: This study examines the correlation between low back pain subjective complaints and sleep quality in students at the Faculty of Medicine Diponegoro University. Methods: Analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. Research subjects are students from the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University, Semarang, which were selected using consecutive sampling. The low back pain subjective complaint is determined using the NRS and sleep quality data are determined by PSQI questionnaire. The relationship between the low back pain subjective complaint and sleep quality is analyzed using the Chi-Square correlation test and Fisher’s Exact alternative test. Results: From a total of 51 research subjects, the analysis of subjective low back pain complaint scores in relation to sleep quality yielded a p-value of 0.362. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between subjective low back pain complaint scores and sleep quality. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the subjective complaints of low back pain and sleep quality among students at the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University.
