Abstract

Standing positions are used for almost all jobs, including sales promotion girl or SPG workers. Standing in working positions for long periods can cause work fatigue. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the length of work in a standing position and the work fatigue of SPG workers. This research is a cross-sectional study. Fatigue data collection was carried out by interviews using the industrial fatigue research committee (IFRC) questionnaire. Data on the length of work in a standing position are obtained by interview and observation. Based on the results of the study, as many as 66.7% of workers at SPG in the shopping center of Kubu Raya Regency, Indonesia in one day work in a standing position for eight hours, and 33.3% work in a standing position for >8 hours. The average level of work fatigue at the beginning of work is 49.38, and after work is 52.95, with the results of statistical analysis showing a p-value of 0.000, meaning that there is a significant relationship between long-standing position and work fatigue. There is a need for supervision and monitoring related to the work safety system regularly carried out by the manager of the shopping center, which is also supervised by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Manpower.

Abstract

Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a group of eye and visual problems related to computer use and it is associated with near work. The aim is to determine CVS prevalence, major complaints and main preventive practices among the University of Jordan students after the COVID-19 pandemic era. We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study using an online pre-tested structured questionnaire. Each participant completed the questionnaire before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and the results were compared. A total of 634 students were included in the study. A high prevalence of CVS was observed after the COVID 19 era. The most significant risk factors for the presence of CVS before and after the pandemic were daily hours use of E-device for studying (p<0.001) and the use of glasses or contact lens (p<0.05). Brightness adjustment, keeping sufficient distance away from the device, taking breaks, increasing the screen font size and using eye drops were the most significant preventive measures taken by students before and after the pandemic (p<0.05). It is a necessity to raise awareness among students regarding computer related health problems and preventive measures need to be adopted to address the risk factors.

Abstract

The World Health Organization quality of life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) instrument has been used to assess several diseases, including chronic pain sufferers' quality of life. In Indonesia it can be utilized for evaluating the quality of life among tuberculosis (TBC) patients. This study aimed to assess the psychometric attributes of quality of life questionnaires among 123 respondents with TBC (56.9% males, 43.1% females) in Yogyakarta. This study employed the Rasch analysis technique for psychometric analysis. The findings indicate that six questions are biased in favour of the respondent's qualities. Four items do not statistically match an MNSQ (Mean-square or Standardized fit statistics) output value of >1.5 but are still acceptable (Pt. Meas Corr 0.3-0.8). Between the elements Q14-Q12 and Q12-Q21, there is a gap The responders' ability level is higher than the average problem difficulty level. The WHOQOL-BREF instrument revealed unidimensionality, and the evaluation scale worked properly when it was used with TBC patients with Cronbach's α value of 0.89. The WHOQOL-BREF scale continues to be appropriate for evaluating the patient quality of life since it has solid psychometric qualities.

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) has been associated with genetic and environmental factors, which could potentially have a role in DFU development. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes linked to DFU, including inflammation. Bibliometric studies on the SNP on genes affecting DFU still have not been evaluated. This study aims to depict bibliographically and understand the topic trend of genetic polymorphism and the risk of DFU publications. A bibliometric methodology was applied in this study. The data were extracted through the Scopus database from 2011 to 2021. VOS viewer was used to classify and summarize Scopus articles. The 35 articles were evaluated. India topped the list of countries with the most publications, and Tehran University of Medical Sciences was the primary institution. Singh K and his team were the first contributing authors with 44 citations. Keywords analysis indicated that the research hotspots were DFU, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), diabetic foot ulcers, polymorphisms, hypoxia, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), diabetic foot, diabetes mellitus, and oxidative stress. This study summarizes the current state, trends in genetic polymorphism and risk with DFU research. It may provide researchers with insight into the genetic polymorphism and risk associated with DFU research, as well as useful information for identifying possible collaborators and partner institutions.

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to mutate in Indonesia. The Omicron variant tends to have more cases but research related to this topic is still difficult to find. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for exposure to the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study used a cross-sectional study design from SARS-CoV-2 surveillance data of the DKI Jakarta Health Office with a research sample of 3,480. Data analysis using Chi-square test followed by logistic regression test. The results found that men had a 1.82 higher risk of contracting the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 than women. Elderly and adults had a 16.99 higher risk and 4.71 higher risk of developing the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant compared to children (p-value <0.05). People with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular had a 3.06, 3.05, and 4.56 higher risk of being infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 than those without a history of these comorbidities. It was concluded that the variable age is the riskiest factor. Vaccination does not reduce the risk of possible exposure to the Omicron variant, especially for those who are elderly, have a history of concomitant diseases, and are male.

Abstract

Section 6 of the cigarette and other tobacco products act (COTPA) of India, lays down provisions and offences against tobacco sale to minors and near educational institutions. Considering well-documented violations and the significance of its better implementation, this study was planned to assess the knowledge and attitudes and compliance regarding provisions of COTPA section 6 among stakeholders, and identify potential enablers and barriers to implementation of the act. A cross-sectional study was conducted in ten senior secondary schools, two each from 5 zones of Jodhpur district. Principal and staff were interviewed to assess their knowledge and awareness, while a checklist was used to observe the compliance in the vicinity of schools. In-depth interviews were conducted amongst stakeholders to identify enablers and barriers. Only nine (45%) participants were aware about COTPA and six (30%) knew whom to report any violation. 60% schools had international “no smoking” signage and vendors were observed near 50% of the schools. Sale to minors was observed at two such stalls. Observed barriers were related to law and act, implementing personnel and community. Sensitisation of health hazards, intersectoral collaborations with prompt reporting might enhance compliance towards the law.

Abstract

Ramadan fasting is a religious practice observed by millions of Muslims worldwide. Firstly, the experimental studies were searched on different websites like PubMed, Science direct, and google scholar to find out the latest research regarding Ramadan fasting. Studies have shown that Ramadan fasting influences body weight, blood glucose, insulin, lipid levels, and blood pressure. However, the effects of fasting on mental health and specific health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer or metabolic disorders vary depending on individual factors. Because, fasting duration, the presence of chronic diseases, and obesity are all factors that can alter the outcomes. Until now, Multiple studies on Ramadan fasting's impact on health have been conducted but certain limitations make the results inconclusive. We hope to gain a better understanding of the potential benefits and risks associated with this religious practice. Ultimately, this knowledge can be used to inform healthcare professionals and individuals who are participating in Ramadan fasting. Further research is necessary to explore underlying mechanisms and optimize fasting protocols for chronic disease patients. Overall, this review emphasizes the need for further research on the effects of Ramadan fasting on human health and its potential as a tool for improving health outcomes in diverse populations.
