Abstract

The cleanliness of the hands of food handlers is a major factor in preventing the spread of disease. The study aims to analyze the effect of using starfruit juice hand sanitizer on the bacteria in the hands of food handlers. The study used a Pretest Posttest with a Control Group Design, conducted in Yogyakarta from March to May 2024. The study involved 24 food handlers. The study used starfruit juice as the basic ingredient for hand sanitizer in three concentration variations (25%, 30%, and 35%). Sampling of hand bacteria was carried out before and after each treatment using the swab method, then incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, One Way ANOVA, and Tukey HSD with a confidence level of 95%. The study results found that starfruit juice hand sanitizer can reduce the number of hand germs (P = 0.001). A concentration of 25% was able to reduce 65.06% (2.29 x 104 to 8.22 x 104 CFU/cm2), a concentration of 30% reduced 69.79% (from 2.09 x 104 to 6.15 x 104 CFU/cm2), and a concentration of 35% reduced up to 85.53% (from 2.72 x 104 to 3.99 x 103 CFU/cm2). The study results also found that more than 85% of respondents liked the color, smell, viscosity, and texture of the hand sanitizer. In addition, the hand sanitizer did not change even though it was stored for up to 28 days (12-140C). Star fruit has the potential to be used as a basic ingredient for making hand sanitizers. In addition to being easy to obtain and cheap, hand sanitizers made from star fruit juice have been proven to be effective as antiseptic.

Abstract

The microbiological quality of indoor air is still a signifikans concern because it causes mortality and morbidity. This study aims to analyze the effect of green betel leaf extract (Piper betle L.) on reducing the bactherial in the air. Quasi-research using the One Group Pretest Posttest design, conducted in March-May 2024. Betle leaves were extracted using the maceration method using 96% Ethanol solvent, then diluted with distilled water to obtain a concentration of 15%. Three volume variations (0.5 ml, 1.0 ml, and 1.5 ml) were put into a humidifier and applied to a nine-square-meter bedroom for three hours, with six replication. Sampling was carried out before and after the experiment. All data (N= 48) were analyzed using the One Way ANOVA and Tukey tests at CL 95%. The study results found a decrease in colonies in the treatment with a volume of 1.0 ml and 1.5 ml: 39.3% (from 36.2 to 22.3 CFU /m3) and 17.6% (from 49.2 to 37.0 CFU /m3). The treatment with a volume of 0.5 ml did not show a decrease. The statistical analysis showed a significant effect of betle leaf extract on reducing the bacteria in the air (P= 0.020). The study results have proven that green betle leaf extract can be used as a disinfectant to reduce the bacteria in the air. However, safe use must be applied by paying attention to the air humidity level.

Abstract

Tofu industry workers are at risk of experiencing Low Back Pain (LBP)   because they work with heavy loads and risky work postures for a continuous period of time. The study aims to analyze the relationship between work posture, work period, and knowledge with LBP.: Descriptive analytical research with a cross-sectional design, conducted in Palembang City from March to April 2024. The study involved 40 participants. Data collection was carried out by observation and interviews. Work posture was assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, while the variables of length of service, knowledge, and LBP   were obtained from interviews. All data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) at a 95% confidence level. The study found that 17 (42.5%) respondents experienced LBP, 13 (32.5%) had risky work postures, and 22 (55%) respondents had a work period of 6-10 years. The analysis results found that there was a significant relationship between work posture (P= 0.007) and work period (P= 0.010). At the same time, knowledge did not show a significant relationship with LBP   (P= 0.167). Risk factors for LBP in tofu industry workers are work posture (POR= 9.524) and work period (POR= 9.750). The study results found that LBP is closely related to work posture and work period. Muscle stretching, getting enough rest, and using ergonomic work tools are research recommendations.
