Abstract

Background: Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) infections remain one of the main health problems in developing countries, including Indonesia with prevalence rates ranging from 2.5% to 62%. Poor personal hygiene is a key risk factor contributing to the increased prevalence, especially among farmers. Jember Regency, an agricultural region where most residents work as farmers, presents a higher vulnerability to STH infections due to frequent contact with soil. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the association between personal hygiene and STH infection among farmers in Jember Regency, East Java. Method: This study was a cross-sectional design involving 100 farmers selected using multistage sampling. Structured questionnaires were used for hygiene data collection. Identification of STH from fecal samples used sedimentation and flotation techniques. The relationship between hygiene practices and STH infections was tested using Cramer's V. Result: The prevalence of STH infections in farmers was 10% and all of them were hookworm infections. Most respondents, including those infected with STH, had moderate hygiene category. The results of statistical tests showed a significant relationship between personal hygiene and STH infections among farmers in Jember district. Conclusion: The strong link between personal hygiene and STH infection indicated that existing practices might not be adequate for safeguarding individuals in farming environments. On the other hand, maintaining personal hygiene was essential in the preventive approach for the farming community in Jember.

Abstract

Background: Mechanical failure, age and poor quality of machines, and heavy equipment can cause mining accidents or disasters. Accidents in mining can be caused by equipment and handling of heavy loads, mechanical failure, safety management, poor leadership and work environment, unsafe actions, inexperienced workers, and lack of rules, regulations, training and safety education. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyse risk opportunities for enhancing heavy equipment employee protection performance. Method: This study used a qualitative method, by using Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Opportunities (HIRARO) methods to identify work hazards in mining areas and opportunities to control them to improve safety performance. Result: The risk management that has been carried out by the company does not use a hierarchy of controls, but goes directly to preventive measures with moderate status. Conclusion: Risk management in in East Kalimantan heavy equipment companies still needs to be improved in terms of preventing accidents and occupational health by adding risk level after initial controls, to obtain post-initial control risk levels, as well as proper additional controls and take into account the opportunities to enhance OSH performance or reduce risks.

Abstract

Background: Occupational accidents can result in financial losses for the company and decreased worker productivity. These incidents are often caused by unsafe actions and conditions. At PT X, several work activities pose a high hazard, including being struck by heavy loads, falls from heights, entrapment by machinery, vehicle-related accidents, and fires. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of Behavior-Based Safety implementation on unsafe actions in workers at PT X. Method: This quasi-experimental study using a pre-test and post-test approach with a control group design. In this research, a total of 70 workers will be divided into two groups, namely the intervention group with the application of BBS and the control group. The implementation of BBS consisted of four stages: (1) Define, (2) Observe, (3) Intervention Program, and (4) Test. The study data were processed and analyzed using the SPSS application. Result: The study demonstrated that the implementation of Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) successfully reduced unsafe actions, as reflected in the Mann-whitney Test results showing a ρ-value = 0.043 (ρ-value < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of BBS serve as an effective effort to reduce unsafe worker actions and therebyminimize occupational accidents.

Abstract

Background: Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor, accounting for approximately 5 – 10% of all soft tissue sarcoma cases. It most commonly affects the hands and feet. Purpose: This study aims to examine the application of Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) in treating monophasic synovial sarcoma of the hand with a specific focus on the use of a bolus to optimize the radiation dose distribution. Method: This research involves participatory observation of the patient undergoing 3D-CRT program carried out at Radiotherapy Department of MRCCC Siloam Hospital Semanggi. The research evaluates the impact of bolus application on enhancing the radiation dose delivery to the skin surface and achieving a more consistent dose distribution within the tumor target volume. Result: This research findings indicate that the use of a bolus in 3D-CRT effectively improves radiation dose coverage on the skin surface and ensures a more consistent dose distribution within the tumor target volume. Conclusion: The research highlights the important role of bolus application in enhancing the treatment efficacy for monophasic synovial sarcoma of the hand, clearly suggesting that it is a crucial factor in optimizing the radiation therapy outcomes.

Abstract

Background: HIV and TBC combinations have received global public attention in recent years. Current collaborative tuberculosis and HIV elimination strategy is not enough to eradicate these two infectious diseases. Therefore, an innovative elimination approach leveraging advancements in digital technology is urgently needed. Purpose: To evaluate the tuberculosis elimination by optimizing case finding and monitoring treatment completion through the Early Detection and Management of Tuberculosis Application System + (E-TIBI+) application based on self-assessment in the HIV population. Method: This observational cohort study was conducted in Surabaya city, East Java Province, Indonesia in the period of September - October 2024. The study population consisted of adult PLHIV who completed the E-TIBI+ self-assessment. The E-TIBI+ application is a web-based platform. Data analysis included univariate analysis in the form of frequencies for each variable and crosstab analysis with the Kendall tau-b test in E-TIBI+ application acceptance data. Result: From a total of 386 patients screened, 61 (15.80%) PLHIV were suspected of having TBC. From the 61 patients, there were 17 patients who sought diagnosis at the health facility of their choice. User acceptance of the E-TIBI+ application by PLHIV patients tends to be positive and statistically significant. Conclusion: The E-TIBI+ application demonstrates strong potential to enhance early detection and systematic monitoring of tuberculosis case management among PLHIV through digital technology.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease having a multiplicative effect on atherosclerosis, which basically implies an increase in Intima-Media Thickness (IMT). Duplex sonography can be used to assess the carotid artery, which is a combination of high-resolution greyscale imaging and Doppler analysis. Purpose: To evaluated carotid artery characteristics using high quality grayscale ultrasound and doppler in patients with hypertension and correlated with biochemical parameters. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 hypertensive patients (aged ≥50), who were stratified by the severity of their hypertension. Grayscale (IMT, plaque assessment) and doppler (RI, resistive index) measures of both Common Carotid Arteries (CCA) were acquired along with different parameters of blood pressure (SBP, DBP, MBP) and lipid profiles (TC, TG, LDL, HDL). Data analysis was done with SPSS 21. Result: Out of 135 patients, 79 (58.5%) were in subgroup I and 56 (41.5%) in subgroup II, with equal gender distribution. IMT values were higher in subgroup II (0.741±0.013) than subgroup I (0.725±0.017 and 0.731±0.019). SBP correlated significantly with IMT and RI, while DBP, MBP, and cholesterol had no significant correlation with IMT. Doppler RI showed a moderate correlation with DBP and MBP. Triglycerides, LDL, and HDL had no significant correlation with IMT or RI. Conclusion: Ultrasound is a rapid, safe, and cost-effective tool for detecting atherosclerosis. The combined evaluation of IMT and RI using grayscale ultrasound and doppler may detect early atherosclerotic changes.
