Abstract

Background: Complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as feelings of pain, soreness or soreness in the skeletal muscles felt by batik makers both during work and after work. This study aimed to examine the influence of work posture on the risk of MSDs in batik craftsmen. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study. Total sample was 200 batik craftsmen was selected by cluster random sampling. The dependent variables were pain and musculoskeletal disorders. The independent variables were age, work posture, work duration, work period, and type of batik craftsmen. Pain was measured using visual analog scale (VAS). MSDs was measured using the Nordic Body Map (NBM). Other variables were collected using questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: Batik craftsmen with non-ergonomic working postures (OR= 2.98; 95% CI=1.27 to 6.99; p= 0.012), age ≥40 years old (OR= 3.45; 95% CI=1.28 to 10.49; p= 0.015), works ≥5 hours/day (OR= 3.52; 95% CI= 1.46 to 8.47; p= 0.012), tenure ≥5 years (OR= 7.04; 95% CI= 3.00 to 16.53; <0.001) significantly increased the risk of MSDs. There was no significant association between type of batik craftsmen and MSDs (OR= 2.76; 95% CI= 0.81 to 9.38; p= 0.102). Nagelkerke R2= 30.8%. Conclusion: Non-ergonomic working postures, age ≥40 years old, works ≥5 hours/day, tenure ≥5 years significantly increase the risk of MSDs. There is no significant association between type of batik craftsmen and MSDs. Keywords: musculoskeletal disorder, pain, work duration, work period, age, batik making

Abstract

Background:  Anxiety in children will make it difficult for dentists to perform dental treatment. In dentistry, especially pediatric dentistry, children who are very anxious will avoid examinations and refuse dental treatment. This study aims to analyze the influence of the "tell show do" method in reducing dental anxiety in pediatric patients. Subjects and Method:  This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted using PRISMA flow diagrams. Search articles through journal databases including: Google Scholar, PubMed, and Springer Link by selecting articles published in 2016 and 2022. The keywords used are (“tell show do” OR “TSD”AND “dental anxiety” OR “anxiety” ) AND (“pediatric dentistry” OR “children”) AND (“RCT” OR “randomized control trial”). The inclusion criteria were full paper articles using the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) research method, the results of the analysis used the Mean SD value, the intervention provided was a tell show do, the study subjects were pediatric dental patients at the first visit, with dental anxiety as an outcome. Articles that met the requirements were analyzed using the Revman 5.3 application. Results:  The meta-analysis of 12 articles shows that there is an increasing effect using the tell show do method on reducing dental anxiety. Children who received the tell show do intervention had a dental anxiety level 0.54 units lower than those who did not receive the tell show do, and the effect was statistically significant (SMD 0.54; 95% CI= 0.23 to 0.85; p=0.0007). Conclusion:  The tell show do method has an effect on reducing anxiety in pediatric dental patients.   Keywords: tell show do, dental anxiety, meta-analysis

Abstract

Background: Blood pressure tends to increase with age. Hypertension or high blood pressure often occurs in pre-elderly individuals, who are aged between 45-59 years. Acupuncture is one of the therapies with mild side effects that can reduce blood pressure in pre-elderly individuals. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in lowering blood pressure in pre-elderly individuals with hypertension based on similar previous research.Subjects and Methods: This study employed a systematic review and meta-analysis based on PICO framework: Population: Pre-elderly individuals with hypertension. Intervention: Acupunc-ture therapy. Comparison: Non-acupuncture therapy. Outcome: Blood pressure. Data were obtained from the PubMed, MEDLINE, Science Direct, BMC, and Google Scholar databases. The search process utilized keywords such as "acupuncture", "hypertension", "Pre elderly", "acupunc-ture for hypertension", AND "acupuncture for blood pressure". Article selection was performed using the PRISMA flowchart, and the results were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3 software.Results: A total of 9 articles originating from the United States, Germany, South Korea, China, India, and Taiwan, with a sample size of 492 subjects, indicated that acupuncture therapy for blood pressure reduction in pre-elderly individuals was not significant for systolic blood pressure (SMD= -0.00; 95% CI= -0.81 to 0.81; p=1.00), but it was significant for diastolic blood pressure (SMD= -1.33; 95% CI= -2.60 to -0.05; p= 0.04).Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy for blood pressure reduction in pre-elderly individuals is not significant for systolic blood pressure, but it is significant for diastolic blood pressure. Keywords: acupuncture, hypertension, pre-elderly, blood pressure, meta-analysis

Abstract

Background: Herniated Nucleus Pulposus Cervicalis (HNPC) is a medical condition characte­rized by the posterior or posterolateral protrusion of the intervertebral disc, resulting from the degeneration of the fibrous annulus. This protrusion exerts pressure on the nerve roots and spinal cord, leading to the development of neurological disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of manual therapy in alleviating neck pain among patients diagnosed with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus. Subjects and Method: A randomized controlled trial was carried out at JIH Hospital in Yogyakarta from August to September 2023. Fourteen patients diagnosed with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus (HNPC) were purposively sampled for the study. Seven patients underwent manual therapy as an intervention, while the remaining seven received standard treatment as the control group. The dependent variable assessed was neck pain, measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The independent variable was orthopedic manual physical therapy. The differences in neck pain scores between the two groups were analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: Following the intervention, the pain score in the intervention group (Mean 2.43; SD= 1.13) exhibited a significant reduction compared to the control group (Mean= 4.86; SD= 0.90), with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: Orthopedic manual therapy effectively alleviates neck pain in individuals with cervical herniated nucleus pulposus.

Abstract

Background: Guyon Canal Syndrome is a peripheral ulnar neuropathy caused by lesions of the distal ulnar nerve, specifically in the Guyon's tunnel which is at the base of the hypothenar eminence where the ulnar nerve branches and is susceptible to compression. These tunnel structures are frequently subject to cycling-related injuries, sudden compression or repetitive vibration. Guyon Canal Syndrome causes loss of motor, sensory function, or a combination of motor and sensory function. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of nerve mobilization on reducing pain in Guyon Canal Syndrome. Subjects and Method: This research is a quasi-experimental research conducted at the Grhasia Mental Hospital, Yogyakarta Special Region, in June-July 2023. A total sample of 8 patients diagnosed with Guyon canal syndrome was selected using purposive sampling. The sample was divided into 2 groups (1) 4 people received nerve mobilization and (2) 4 people received standard care. The dependent variable is pain. The independent variable is nerve mobilization. Pain was measured using the Quadruple Visual Analogue Scale (QVAS). The difference in pain scores before and after intervention in the two groups was tested using an independent t test. Results: The average difference in pain score reduction in the intervention group (Mean= -11.75; SD= 5.68) was greater than the control (Mean= -3.5; SD= 11.39), but not statistically significant (p= 0.242). Conclusion: The average difference in pain score reduction in the intervention group was greater than the control, but not statistically significant. Keywords: Guyon canal syndrome, pain, nerve mobilization
