Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare systems are under increasing strain owing to the rapid growth of the global aging population, underscoring the urgent need for environments that support healthy aging. Green open spaces (GOS) are increasingly recognized as vital infrastructure capable of mitigating age-related functional decline.Methods: This scoping review systematically synthesized evidence on the impact of green open spaces (GOS) in promoting physical activity (PA) and supporting functional rehabilitation among older adults. Guided by the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework, a structured search was conducted across the Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Of the records initially identified, ten articles published between 2015 and 2025 were included in the final synthesis.Results: The findings indicate that green open spaces (GOS) support four primary dimensions of rehabilitation: physical (38%), psychological (31%), social (25%), and spiritual (6%). Furthermore, the influence of GOS design on physical activity (PA) can be categorized into gentle, simple movements (40%), moderate-intensity exercises (30%), and nature-integrated therapeutic activities (30%).Conclusion: Optimizing the benefits of green open spaces (GOS) for older adults requires attention to modifiable design features, universal accessibility (e.g., even terrain and adequate seating), and adaptation to local climatic and social contexts.

Abstract

Introduction: Asthenopia, or eye strain, is a prevalent issue among batik artisans in Klaten Regency, Indonesia, due to the visually demanding nature of their work and potentially suboptimal working conditions.Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the influence of physical environmental factors, specifically lighting intensity, temperature, and humidity, on the occurrence of asthenopia symptoms among 155 female batik artisans. Data were collected through interviews using the Visual Fatigue Index questionnaire and environmental measurements.Results: Most participants (65.8%) experienced asthenopia symptoms, with an average score of 0.47 (SD ±0.15). The most common symptoms included watery eyes, stinging sensations, gritty feelings, difficulty focusing, and heavy sensations in the eyes. Spearman's rank correlation revealed a statistically significant association between ambient temperature and asthenopia complaints (p = 0.009), while no significant correlations were found for lighting intensity (p = 0.799) and humidity (p = 0.742). The average workplace temperature was 28.61°C (SD ±1.04), exceeding the recommended comfort range of 23–26°C. Although 81.9% of participants worked under lighting levels below the recommended 300 lx, this factor was not significantly associated with asthenopia.Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of improving thermal comfort in traditional batik workplaces to reduce visual strain among artisans. Further research employing longitudinal and objective methodologies is recommended to better understand the complex interplay between environmental and individual factors contributing to asthenopia in this population.

Abstract

Introduction: Coffee is a popular beverage among the public; however, excessive consumption can have negative effects. A preliminary survey showed that six out of ten respondents (60%) had poor coffee consumption. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with coffee consumption at X Company in 2025.Methods: This study was conducted from May to June 2025. A cross-sectional study design was employed with a total sample of 68 participants. The dependent variable was coffee consumption, and the independent variables were habit, mood, alertness, social, symptom management, and taste. The sampling technique used was total sampling method. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with chi-square tests.Results: Data analysis revealed that 79.4% of workers had poor coffee consumption. Further analysis revealed factors that influence it, including habit  (PR=1.47, 95% CI=0.9-2.21), mood (PR=1.38, 95% CI=1.0-1.88), alertness (PR=1.41, 95% CI=0.9-2.00), social (PR=1.38, 95% CI=1.00-1.88), symptom management (PR=1.69, 95% CI= 0.9-3.17), and taste (PR=1.58, 95% CI=1.03-2.42).Conclusion: Habit, mood, alertness, social factors, symptom management, and taste were associated with coffee consumption among workers at Company X. It is recommended that workers reduce their daily coffee consumption and limit sugar use when drinking coffee to minimize the long-term effects of excessive coffee consumption on health of workers.
