Abstract

As one of the Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most prevalent case and a serious problem experienced by both developed and developing countries such as Indonesia. This pain is not only felt by adults but also by university students. This study aims to examine the prevalence and risk factors influencing the occurrence of LBP. The research method used a cross-sectional design with binary logistic regression tests. Data collection was carried out through direct measurements and surveys using questionnaires among students of the Public Health Department at Cenderawasih University, Papua Province, Indonesia. The results of this study showed that the prevalence of LBP complaints among students was 74%, and only one variable significantly influenced the occurrence of LBP, which was Gender, with a p-value of 0.019 and an Odds Ratio of 2.201 (95% CI: 1.136-4.263). Other variables such as the way of carrying a bag and the weight of the bag were nearly significant, both receiving a p-value of 0.090, with an Odds ratio of 1.668 for the way of carrying the bag and 1.645 for the weight of the bag. This study is expected to serve as a basis for future research to assess the influence of other variables on the incidence of LBP.

Abstract

Sleep quality disturbance is a common health problem affecting young adults, and is associated with impaired cognitive function and daily performance. Lifestyle factors such as caffeine consumption and low physical activity are known to influence sleep quality, yet their combined effects remain underexplored. We aimed to evaluate the impact of coffee consumption and aerobic exercise on sleep quality among young adults. A systematic review was conducted on relevant studies published within the last ten years. Sleep quality was primarily assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Higher caffeine intake was consistently associated with poorer sleep quality, prolonged sleep latency, and reduced sleep duration. Conversely, regular aerobic exercise was shown to improve sleep quality through physiological regulation, including hormonal balance and stress reduction. The combination of high caffeine consumption and insufficient aerobic exercise may exacerbate sleep disturbances. In conclusion, both caffeine intake and aerobic exercise are significant modifiable factors affecting sleep quality, highlighting the importance of lifestyle interventions to improve overall health and well-being in young adults.

Abstract

Nyeri punggung bawah (LBP) adalah gangguan muskuloskeletal umum yang dialami oleh pengemudi ojek online akibat jam kerja yang panjang, postur duduk statis, dan tingkat kelelahan kerja yang tinggi. Kondisi ini dapat memengaruhi daerah punggung bawah, melibatkan otot dan saraf, dan dapat menjalar ke ekstremitas bawah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara usia, kebiasaan merokok, riwayat trauma tulang, postur kerja, durasi kerja, dan tingkat kelelahan kerja dengan keluhan nyeri punggung bawah di kalangan pengemudi ojek online di daerah Tembalang. Desain penelitian cross-sectional digunakan dengan melibatkan 64 responden yang dipilih menggunakan metode sampling fungsi waktu linier. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara terstruktur. Instrumen penelitian meliputi kuesioner, Survei BRIEF untuk menilai postur kerja batang tubuh, Skala Analog Visual (VAS) untuk mengukur intensitas nyeri punggung bawah subjektif, dan dokumentasi fotografi untuk mendukung pengamatan postur selama aktivitas berkendara. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik Chi-square dengan tingkat signifikansi 95%. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa 43,7% responden mengalami nyeri punggung bawah intensitas rendah, sedangkan 56,3% melaporkan nyeri intensitas tinggi. Analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa usia (p = 0,039), durasi kerja (p = 0,038), dan tingkat kelelahan kerja (p = 0,009) secara signifikan berhubungan dengan keluhan nyeri punggung bawah. Sebaliknya, kebiasaan merokok (p = 0,976), riwayat trauma tulang (p = 0,795), dan postur kerja (p = 0,208) tidak secara signifikan berhubungan dengan nyeri punggung bawah. Kesimpulannya, usia, durasi kerja yang lama, dan kelelahan kerja merupakan faktor kunci yang berhubungan dengan nyeri punggung bawah di kalangan pengemudi ojek online. Strategi pencegahan harus berfokus pada pengaturan jam kerja, pengelolaan kelelahan kerja, penerapan istirahat aktif, dan mendorong latihan peregangan secara teratur untuk mengurangi ketegangan muskuloskeletal.

Abstract

Infants are children aged 0–59 months who are in a phase of rapid growth and development, making them highly vulnerable to nutritional disorders. National data shows that in 2018 there was an increase in the prevalence of very short toddlers (11.5%) compared to the previous year (9.8%), although the prevalence of short toddlers remained relatively stagnant (19.3% in 2018 and 19.8% in 2017). This condition indicates that chronic nutritional problems are still a public health challenge in Indonesia. One factor contributing to growth disorders is inadequate nutritional intake in children, which in the household context is closely related to parenting patterns and feeding practices by mothers. These factors are categorized as indirect causes, which include parenting patterns, access to health and social services, household food security, and family eating habits. This study aims to identify and analyze indirect determinants that affect children's nutritional status at the household level. The study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to ten indexed national articles that have undergone peer review, published between 2015 and 2025. The included articles focused on children under five years of age in Indonesia, examined indirect determinants of nutritional status, and used quantitative or mixed research designs. Data synthesis was conducted through thematic content analysis to identify patterns of relationships between indirect determinants and children's nutritional status. The results of the study showed that indirect determinants had a significant influence on children's nutritional status through complex and interrelated mechanisms. Inadequate parenting patterns, low household food security, limited maternal education, suboptimal use of health services, poor sanitation, and unbalanced family eating habits contribute to an increased risk of infection, inadequate nutrient intake, and stunted growth in children. These factors do not work independently but influence each other in determining the risk of infection and nutritional status in children.

Abstract

Occupational diseases are illnesses caused by work and/or the work environment, which can be experienced by workers in the sasirangan industry. Most sasirangan industry workers in Banjarmasin City do not use personal protective equipment (PPE) while working. The objective of this study was to analyze factors related to PPE compliance and its association with occupational diseases among sasirangan industry workers in Banjarmasin City. This research employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at three sasirangan industry sites in Banjarmasin. Samples were obtained using purposive sampling, with a total of 50 workers. Data were collected through questionnaires. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed using the chi-square test. The univariate analysis showed that 38% of sasirangan workers had a history of occupational diseases, 58% were non-compliant with PPE use, 32% had poor knowledge regarding PPE, 52% had negative attitudes toward PPE use, and 30% reported the unavailability of PPE in the workplace. The bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between PPE compliance and occupational diseases, as well as between attitudes toward PPE use and PPE availability with PPE compliance, while no significant association was found between knowledge of PPE and PPE compliance among sasirangan industry workers in Banjarmasin City.

Abstract

Mining activities near water can lead to health-related problems caused by heavy metal pollution. The objective of the study was to examine kidney histomorphology and function affected by heavy metal exposure, specifically lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg). Using Rattus novergicus as animal model, true experimental study of posttest and control group design were conducted. The diameter and quantity of glomeruli and renal tubules were utilized as measures to evaluate the histomorphological status of the kidney. The kidney function was analyzed using enzymatic assays of blood urea and creatinine levels. The research group was categorized into four subgroups: the control group (C) received distilled water, whereas three intervention groups were administered water polluted with heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg) ad libitum for a duration of 28 days. Significant differences in histomorphological characteristics of kindey were found between the control and intervention groups using the One Way ANOVA test (glomerular diameter p = 0,03, and cortex tubular kidney lumen p = 0.01; medulla tubular p = 0.02).  No significant difference in urea levels (p = 0.877) and creatinine levels (p = 0.294) between the control and intervention groups. In conclusion, renal histomorphology features of kindey were altered by subchronic exposure to heavy metals, although kidney function remained unchanged.

Abstract

Traditional textile industries, such as the Sasirangan home-based industry in Banjarmasin, expose artisans to complex physical and chemical hazards. Previous epidemiological models often relied on subjective self-reports and lacked comprehensive risk factor analysis. This study aims to analyze the relationship between demographic and occupational risk factors with the incidence of Occupational Diseases (OD) among Sasirangan artisans, supported by direct clinical validation. An observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 50 artisans selected via simple random sampling. OD incidence was rigorously determined through direct medical examinations and structured anamnesis by a certified physician. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed that age (p=0.028) and working period/tenure (p=0.025) were significantly associated with the incidence of OD. Notably, artisans with a tenure exceeding 5 years had a 5.07 times higher prevalence ratio of experiencing OD. Conversely, gender (p=0.121), daily work duration (p=0.579), and multitasking workloads (p=0.566) showed no significant associations. The findings conclude that clinically diagnosed OD in this sector is predominantly driven by cumulative exposure factors advanced age and prolonged tenure, rather than daily operational metrics. Therefore, mitigating OD risks requires specific workstation engineering, such as ergonomic chairs with spinal backrests and adjustable tables, rather than merely relying on administrative controls like limiting working hours.
