Abstract

The low level of job satisfaction (JS) among hospital staff is associated with the low level of work engagement (WE). To examine WE, the Job demand-resources theory is often applied. This study aims to see the effect of job resources (JR) and personal resources (PR) on WE and their impact on JS. This is a quantitative study that takes a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 244 employees of the Haji Hospital Makassar in South Sulawesi Province who were selected by random quota sampling and then analyzed using the Path Analysis test on SPSS AMOS 26. The results showed that JR (p-value 0.002<0.005, E=0.131) and PR (p-value 0.001<0.005, E=0.170) had a significant effect on WE. JR has a direct influence on JS (p-value 0.022<0.005, E=0.375). Although the indirect effect of JR on JS work engagement (WE) through is not significant (p-value 0.065<0.005), meanwhile, PR has a significant direct (p-value 0.001<0.005, E=0.248) and indirect (p-value 0.035<0.005, E=0.047) effect on JS. This study concludes that the direct influence path of PR is the best path for enhancing employee JS in hospitals.

Abstract

Multiple literatures show evidences of how office workstation set-ups can influence muscle activities. However, the relationship between the postural adoption due to workstation setup and its effect to muscle oxygen saturation among office workers is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate trends of muscle oxygen saturation and perceived fatigue ratings between different upper limbs posture variations among representative computer users. A repeated measure experiment was conducted on 15 participants to compare the muscle oxygen saturation and perceived fatigue ratings between four different office work posture variations. Parametric and non-parametric statistical analyses were conducted to analyze significant differences on the dependent parameters. Data analysis showed statistically significant trends (p≤0.050) of lower muscle oxygen saturation in workstation set-ups in which participants were adopting raised shoulder and extended arm positions. In addition, the findings revealed that the perceived fatigue ratings on the shoulder, upper arm and lower arm are the lowest (p≤0.050) in workstation condition where subject can adopt neutral postures. The results highlight the effect of good office workstation setup and work postures to individual muscle oxygen saturation and fatigue levels.

Abstract

According to West Sumatra corona virus data, Solok Regency has the highest prevalence of positive confirmed cases of COVID-19 in West Sumatra, and one of the areas where the prevalence has increased significantly. Analysis of risk factors for COVID-19 cases in Solok Regency in 2021. We conducted a cross-sectional study analysis of secondary data from March to December 2020 with a mass randomized trial using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in Solok Regency. Descriptive statistical analysis was used with secondary data relevant, and a logistic regression model was used to assess infection risk factors. A total of the 770 participants, 47.4% were women and 66% were aged 50-64 years. A total of 624 participants tested (81.03%) were identified as asymptomatic PCR SARS-CoV infection without symptoms, with 88% of participants with co-morbidities and 66% of participants without travel history. Based on the results obtained a significant relationship between history of comorbidities (p-value=0.00; AOR=0.16; 95% CI=0.08-0.32), clinical symptoms (p-value=0.00; AOR=0.04; 95% CI=0.03-0.08), and travel history (p-value=0.00, AOR=1.80, 95% CI=1.25-2.61). The majority of cases that were confirmed positive for COVID-19 based on the PCR test showed no symptoms, with co-morbidities and travel history. Confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 are associated with co-morbidities, symptoms and travel history.

Abstract

The Thai fishing industry has been under close scrutiny for conditions faced by fishing boat workers, yet data are scarce with regards to occupational safety and health (OSH) among its workers. The objectives of this study are to describe: i) water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) conditions, and; ii) OSH conditions faced by migrant fishing boat workers in Thailand. We conducted a mixed-methods study with a quantitative survey in 200 migrant fishing boat workers and focus group discussions with 11 workers and 6 stakeholders in southern Thailand. We analyzed quantitative and qualitative data using descriptive statistics and content analysis, respectively. Nearly all participants (95.0%) reported that drinking water on board was stored in a sealed container, but only 5.5% of participants reported that there was latrine on board for defecation. Nearly all participants reported proper storage of objects on board, although findings on maintenance varied. Use of personal protective equipment was scarce as equipments obstruct the workers’ movement. The findings highlighted areas where improvements in WASH and OSH are needed. However, caveats regarding potential information bias and lack of generalizability should be considered in the interpretation of the study findings.

Abstract

In Pekalongan Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, cases of productive population with diabetes mellitus have rapidly increased over the past three years. With regard to individual-based problems prevention and management, this is not sufficiently balanced. From the standpoint of the provider, this study examines attempts to prevent and control diabetes mellitus in productive population, including obstacles and limitations. With a focus on three rural areas (Wiradesa, Tirto I and Kedungwuni I Sub-Districts), qualitative study included 75 productive-age diabetics and 30 breadwinners. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to gather data, which was then thematically analyzed. Three rural locus with the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus in productive population were found in the results. Through screening for non-communicable diseases at integrated service post (Posyandu), chronic disease management programs and cross-sectoral activities, there are numerous initiatives for the prevention and management of complications. The challenges include constantly changing programmers, programmers with many assignments, inadequate target awareness and low motivation, as well as a worse recording and reporting system. Such that fundamental information on both individual and public health cannot be accessed. Based on individual emphasis, recording and reporting, several programs for complication prevention and management are required to identify the range of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

Infertility affecting approximately one in seven couples globally is a poorly documented issue in Iraq. This study examines the epidemiology of infertility among 82 Iraqi couples undergoing assisted conception at Al-Razzi Hospital in Ramadi. Retrospective analysis of medical records provided insights into sociodemographic profiles, infertility types (primary or secondary), and causes. The age range for males and females was 17-59 years, with means of 34.5 (±7.4) and 31.4 (±7.3) years, respectively. Infertility duration spanned a mean of 4.9 (±3.9) years. Primary infertility affected 74% of couples, while 25.6% experienced secondary infertility. Among the couples, the biochemical pregnancy rate was 45%, the clinical pregnancy rate was 38%, and the rate of live births was 24%. The average embryo transfer was 3.4, with a 21% miscarriage rate. This study emphasizes high rates of primary infertility dominated by female factors. Future research should consider larger population and detailed data on outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles to enhance understanding on the current (in)fertility status in Iraq.

Abstract

Social networking sites usages (SNSu) are online platforms used for communication, sharing, and connecting with others. This paper aims to investigate the current status of SNSu among students in physical education college, as well as the differences in SNSu based on gender. Additionally, we aimed to assess the level of social anxiety among the study participants and examine whether it varied by gender and SNSu. We conducted a descriptive survey among 1,109 physical education students (688 females and 421 males) enrolled in public universities. We administered the social anxiety disorder-adult and SNSu questionnaire using Google Forms. We analyzed the data using means, standard deviations, frequencies, percentages, One-way ANOVA, and chi-square tests with a confidence level of 95% (p<0.05). The results of the study showed that both male and female students used social networking sites (SNS) more than 10 times a day, with percentages of 46.3% and 46.1%, respectively. Additionally, 43.7% of male and 49.1% of female students reported using SNS for more than three hours per day. The mean score for social anxiety was 20.20, indicating a severe level of social anxiety among the study participants. Based on the responses of the sample study, the results showed an increase in negative indicators associated with SNSu and these unfavorable indicators were accompanied by an increase in the level of social anxiety.

Abstract

Adult male appreciation of his body can affect sexual satisfaction. In addition, boredom caused by a lack of variety in sexual relations can also have an impact on sexual satisfaction in marriage. The aim of this study was to examine the role of body appreciation in predicting increased sexual satisfaction, either directly or indirectly through the mediation of sexual boredom, in early and middle-aged married men. Data were collected from a total of 382 participants (mean age 38 years) using a cross-sectional survey method with convenience sampling. Participants completed the extended satisfaction with life scale (ESWLS), body appreciation scale-2 (BAS-2), and sexual boredom scale (SBS). The results showed that sexual boredom partially mediated the indirect role of body appreciation in predicting sexual satisfaction (B=0.159; z=4.383; sig.=0.001<0.05) because body appreciation can also directly predict increased sexual satisfaction (B=0.814, t=11.418; sig.=0.001<0.05). This result indicates that body appreciation as an internal factor plays a greater role in predicting high sexual satisfaction in early and middle adulthood men.

Abstract

Neonatal death is still a concerning reality for underdeveloped and even for some of the developed countries. Worldwide data indicate that 26.693 babies out of 1,000 births according to Macro Trades. To reduce the death early prediction of endangered baby is crucial. An early prediction enables the opportunity to take ample care of the child and mother so that an early child death can be avoided. Machine learning was used to figure out whether a newborn baby is at risk. To train the predictive model historical data of 1.4 million newborn child data was used. Machine learning and deep learning techniques such as Logical regression, K nearest neighbor, Random Forest classifier, Extreme gradient boosting (XGboost), convolutional neural network, long short-term memory (LSTM). were implemented using the dataset to find out the most robust model which model is the most accurate to identify the mortality of a newborn. From all the machine learning algorithms, the XGboost and random classifier had the best accuracy with 94%, and from the deep learning model, the LSTM had the best outcome with 99% accuracy. Thus, using LSTM of the model shall be best suited to predict whether precaution for a child is necessary.

Abstract

The demanding hospital work environment has increased the need for organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). It’s essential to maintain the altruistic behaviour of nursing professionals towards each other to enhance the patient experience and provide quality healthcare service to patients efficiently. This quantitative study explored the relationships between OCB constructs based on social identity theory (SIT) and system justification theory (SJT). This study is empirical and cross-sectional in nature; structural equation modeling is performed on two hundred twenty-two nursing professional responses, using IBM AMOS V.22 to test the hypothesized model. Conscientiousness has a mediating effect on the relationship between civic virtue and altruism (Indirect effect=0.19, Boot SE=.057, lower-level confidence interval (LLCI)=.0940, upper-level confidence interval (ULCI)=.3144). Moreover, sportsmanship had a mediating effect on the relationship between civic virtue and altruism with an Indirect effect=-0.06, Boot SE=.023, LLCI=-0.1159, ULCI=-0.0222). The results supported the hypothesis that civic virtue and altruism are directly related and found that conscientiousness and sportsmanship mediate the relationship between civic virtue and altruism. The findings suggest that employees with higher sportsmanship tend to reduce their altruistic behavior in the long run.
