Abstract

Maintaining the health of the elderly is a challenge today, considering that increasing age is generally accompanied by a decrease in functional abilities and health status.One of the preventive efforts to detect a decline in functional capacity is to conduct screening. Screening aims to identify possible risk factors and provide an assessment for further treatment. This study aimed to analyze the health status of the elderly through intrinsic capacity assessment using Simple Elderly Screening (SKILAS) instrument. This screening can assess the decline in intrinsic capacity and then provide specific interventions so that this decline can be slowed down. The data was taken from the routine report of the elderly program of the Tangerang City Health Office from January to February 2024 for 3942 elderly . The sample was taken by purposive sampling in 5 Puskesmas with the criteria that the health center had received training and had conducted SKILAS screening. Data were obtained from the results of screenings conducted by elderly program managers at health facilities or Posyandu. The visiting elderly were assessed for independence function using the Activity Daily Living (ADL) instrument and continued with intrinsic capacity screening using the SKILAS instrument. The results of screening showed that 3771 (95.7%) have a good level of independence. The results of simple elderly screening showed 26 elderly (0.94%) have symptoms of depression, 65 elderly (1.65%) experienced the risk of cognitive decline, 120 elderly (3.04%) experienced limited mobilization, 142 elderly (8.22%) experienced malnutrition, 225 elderly (10.16%) experienced visual impairment and 15 elderly (0.38%) experienced hearing loss. It is recommennded that all elderly people receive SKILAS screening to detect early decline in instrinsic capacity.Keywords:  Elderly, Intrinsic capacity, Screening

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in disposable mask usage, raising environmental concerns due to improper disposal. This research aims to investigate the decomposition of disposable mask waste, specifically duckbill masks, by immersing them in 32% HCl and 98% H2SO4 solutions. This research uses experimental research methods for processing mask waste using the method of immersion in 32% HCl solution and immersion in 98% H2SO4. Fifty grams of mask waste were soaked in 1000 ml of each acid solution for periods of 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, with four replications for each time period, and water used as a control. After soaking, the masks were dried and re-weighed to assess weight loss. The data were analyzed using T-tests and ANOVA with SPSS 26. Results showed that after 4 weeks, H2SO4 reduced mask mass by 26%, while HCl achieved a 22% reduction. In the first week, H2SO4 reduced the weight by 3 grams, increasing to a total reduction of 13 grams by the fourth week. Similarly, HCl reduced the mask weight by 2 grams in the first week, with a total reduction of 11 grams by the end of the experiment. The findings suggest that H2SO4 is more effective than HCl in degrading disposable mask waste, offering a potential solution for managing mask waste environmentally. For the local government, it is necessary to make efforts to socialize the community in order to broaden their knowledge regarding the management of disposable mask waste so that the volume of mask waste stockpiles can be reduced and can be more beneficial.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by tuberculosis germs (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). This disease is still a global health problem. It is estimated that one third of the world's population has been infected with pulmonary TB, where the majority of pulmonary TB sufferers are of productive age (15-50 years). Pulmonary TB is chronic and is typically characterized by the formation of granulomas and tissue necrosis. Pulmonary TB can be transmitted through the air, when someone with active TB in the lungs coughs, sneezes or talks. The research method used in this research is quasi experimental research with a one group pretest-posttest research design. The location of the research was in Aceh Singkil Regency. The research was carried out from July to December 2023. The research sample was 30 representatives of junior high school students based on school recommendations. The research results showed that 23 (38.3%) respondents had knowledge about eating nutritious food, and 25 (83.3%) respondents had the attitude that if they were suffering from TB, they would go to the health center. The conclusion is that students' knowledge and attitudes have increased by being given TB training, especially knowledge about TB being caused by heredity and consuming nutritious food.

Abstract

Delays in the handling of cases including rabies will affect the severity level caused by the inaccurate handling and detection of cases and tends to be slow. Considering that the era of digital technology is now developing so rapidly, almost all information can be accessed easily today. The purpose of this activity is to provide knowledge or socialization of the plan for a rabies self-reporting program by the community through the Nasu Suwoho application. Community service activities are carried out using a Participatory Action Research approach where the community as the subject and object of this community service activity plays an active role in planning to implement the use of the rabies reporting application. A qualitative approach with in-depth interviews was conducted to the respondents by the research team. Service activities consist of opening, giving material, delivering videos and testing applications. With the Nasu Sowoho application, it is hoped that the signals of rabies cases, humans and animals infected with rabies in the community, health center staff and animal health centers can be properly monitored. This application displays questions in the form of self-diagnosis of the general public about the clinical symptoms of bite cases of rabies-transmitting animals. These clinical symptoms are adapted to general and typical signs that are easily recognized by the public so they can be reported easily. Keyword: Rabies, Digital Health, Qualitative Study

Abstract

The palm oil harvesting process is still carried out manually, relying on human power and is carried out repeatedly, potentially causing complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Data collection was carried out in January – February 2024 among palm oil harvesting workers in Labuhan Batu. The sample selection technique involved a total sampling of 58 oil palm harvesters. Data was collected using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire through observation of palm oil harvesting activities. Data processing and analysis uses 4 processes, namely coding, editing, data entry and cleaning. This study uses an analysis carried out to assess the risk level of musculoskeletal disease (MSDs) based on many variables of age, body weight, years of work and duration of work. With the help of SPSS 26 using the correlation test, there is abnormal data on 4 variables, so the Spearman correlation test is used to determine the strength of the relationship between the variables. In the statistical test results, it was found that the pvalue was 0.001 < 0.05, which means there is a relationship between age and MSDs complaints, the statistical test results showed that the pvalue was 0.005 < 0.05,. Research shows the importance of musculoskeletal conditions throughout life, especially in palm oil harvesting workers who are susceptible to complaints of MSDs in various parts of the body. The factors age, length of service and duration of work influence this complaint, while body weight is not significant. The researchers' recommendations include work posture training and the use of assistive devices to reduce the risk of MSDs, as well as supporting the development of more effective occupational health and safety policies, especially in the palm oil industry. Keywords: Complaint, Disturbance, Musculoskeletal, Palm Oil Harvester, Worker

Abstract

Musculoskeletal complaints refer to discomfort or pain in the musculoskeletal system, ranging from mild to severe. One type of job that is particularly prone to musculoskeletal disorders is copra work, primarily due to poor working posture. This study aims to analyze the effect of working posture on musculoskeletal disorder complaints among copra workers in Tanjung Balai, Asahan Regency. The study is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design, conducted in Bandar Jawa Village, Tanjung Balai Subdistrict, Asahan Regency, from December 2023 to February 2024. The study population consisted of all 139 copra workers in Bandar Jawa Village, and a sample of 104 workers was selected using the Slovin formula. The sampling technique employed was simple random sampling. Data were collected through surveys and questionnaires administered to respondents. The research instruments used were the Nordic Body Map and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) evaluation sheet. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 24, with three stages: univariate analysis using frequency, bivariate analysis using simple linear regression, and multivariate analysis using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with a significance level of 95% (α=0.05). The results showed that working posture significantly affected musculoskeletal disorder complaints, moderated by smoking habits, with a p-value of 0.001. It can be concluded that smoking exacerbates the negative effects of poor working posture on musculoskeletal health, increasing the risk of injury and slowing recovery. It is recommended that copra workers take preventive measures against musculoskeletal disorder complaints by improving their work environment, paying attention to rest periods, engaging in light relaxation exercises, and that employers provide education on worker safety and health to copra workers. Keywords: Musculoskeletal disorders, Smoking, Work posture
