Abstract

Background: The Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI) is an instrument to assess a person’s fatigue, which is not limited to workers of a company, but can also be used for the general public. SOFI can determine fatigue from physical, cognitive and psychosocial conditions.1 This study aims to translate the instrument so that it can be used in Indonesia, then assess its validity and reliability.Methods: This study was conducted using a 10-step transcultural adaptation method from ISPOR followed by item validity and reliability tests on 224 workers at a geothermal company in Indonesia. Item-total correlation and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed using online version 0.14.3 of JASP statistic program. And for reliability test using SPSS tool.Results: Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI) has been adapted into an Indonesian version through the ISPOR transcultural adaptation method. All items in the Indonesian version of SOFI which amounted to 20 items proved the validity and reliability of this questionnaire was very good (α-Cronbach 0.969) and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis test showed: Factor model (224, p < 0,001) = 337.649, CFI = 0,958, NFI = 0,924, RFI = 0,909, IFI = 0,958, TLI = 0,950, dan RMSEA = 0,070, 90% CI: 0,060 – 0,081. Fit indices results had acceptable model fits corresponding to the structure of the original instrument. Item-rest correlation range from 0.321 to 0.847, these results reveal that each item-rest correlation is extremely strong.Conclusion: The Indonesian version of SOFI is proven to have good validity and reliability as an instrument for assessing fatigue/work fatigue for workers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Introduction: The impact of COVID-19 has spread around the globe since first announced in March 2020 by WHO and was first acknowledged in an occupational setting, and up to now, becoming the major percentage of the cases. 1. Regardless of the prompt response made, COVID-19 infection cases among healthcare workers have risen quickly and high. It is essential to understand the features that play roles in COVID-19 transmission among healthcare workers in occupational settings to build a better understanding in minimizing the occupational hazards and prevent such cases.Methods: This literature review was conducted in April 2022. Research related to the COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers in an occupational setting by using specific keywords including COVID-19, healthcare workers, occupational on two database Pubmed and Google Scholar.Results: 12 articles were analysed for the literature review. Recognizing hazardous work characteristics and demographic characteristics as the risk of transmission among healthcare workers can help optimizing the protection and reduce transmission cases among healthcare workers in an occupational setting.Conclusions: Having a better understanding of factors that play a role in COVID-19 transmission among healthcare workers in the occupational setting is essential to create a better policy implemented to safeguard healthcare workers’ health and safety. The provision of health services to patients relies on professional staff who feel safe and well protected. Therefore, ensuring workers’ safety and health is critical to keep transmission rates low. COVID-19 is a trigger for the world of health, especially occupational health in socialization and commitment to the implementation of the control hierarchy and also certainty in making policies.

Introduction: The COVID-19 Pandemic was happening around the World, including in Indonesia. All sectors were impacted, including health workers. The risks for physical and mental health increased during the Pandemic, including Burnout. Vaccination was a method for giving humans immunity. Subang is a District, West Jawa, Indonesia with a government policy for accelerating vaccination, which may impact demand and increase the team’s Burnout potential.Aim: Research was conducted to detect what factors correlated with Burnout in the Vaccination Team in Subang.  Methods: Research was conducted in May – July 2022 in the Public Health Care, Subang District, West Java, Indonesia. The reseach uses simple random sampling, comprising 131 Vaccination Team members who complete this research. Variable factors are demographic factors (age, sex, marital status, education status), work factors (distance to workplace, work period, and task on the Vaccination Team), mental workload, and work locus of control. The analysis will be conducted with chi-square for correlation (bivariate) and logistic regression for analize the most related factors (multivariate). Result and Discussions: In this research, there is 44(33,3%) person of team members who have Burnout. No demographic factors correlate with Burnout (p-value>0.05). There is correlation between work period (p-value=0.022), mental workload (p-value = 0.049) and work locus of control (p-value=0.022) to Burnout. Work locus of control (p-value=0.012) was the most related factor to Burnout (aOR=2,9).Conclusion: Work period, mental workload, and locus control factors correlate with Burnout. Work locus of control was most related to Burnout in the Vaccination Team in the Subang District.

Abstract

Background: Recently, the first asthma-specific Job Exposure Matrix (JEM) was updated to occupational asthma-specific JEM (OAsJEM). Our study aimed to evaluate the association between continued exposure to isocyanates and incident work-related chest symptoms in former car-painting apprentices and to compare the associations using the first and new OAsJEMs.Methods: We used data from an inception cohort of male car-painting apprentices. Post-apprenticeship exposure to isocyanate during follow-up was evaluated using the first asthma-specific JEM (“exposed”=1 or “not exposed”=0) and the new OAsJEM (high=2, medium=1, and none=0). Association between occupation exposure to isocyanate and incidence of work-related rhinoconjunctival and chest symptoms were evaluated through cox regression models, adjusted for age, smoking, wheezing, and non-specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Results: The agreement between the two JEMs (exposed vs non-exposed to isocyanate) was perfect (kappa coefficient=0.946, p<0.001). There were only five subjects who were classified as non-exposed based on the first JEM, but had a medium exposure to isocyanate based on the new OAsJEM. Exposure to isocyanate increased the risk of occupational chest symptoms in the high-exposure category (hazard ratio [HR] 2.7, 95% CI 1.1 – 6.6) and the medium category (HR 2.9, 95% CI 0.3 – 30.0) compared to the reference group based on the new OAsJEM, whereas an HR of 2.5 (95% CI 1.0-6.2) was observed from the first JEM. Both JEMs yielded an inconclusive association between exposure to isocyanates and the risk for work-related rhino-conjunctivitis. Conclusion: The asthma-specific JEM and OAsJEM consistently showed that isocyanate exposure increased the risk of incident work-related chest symptoms.

Abstract

Cardiac arrest is a condition where there is a sudden cessation of cardiac activity, causing a person to become unresponsive to calls/stimuli. If there is no immediate corrective action (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and/or defibrillation), this condition will be fatal and can progress to sudden death. A 32-year-old young man who had just worked welding pipes while working at PT.X experienced a cardiac arrest, where there was no breathing and no pulse. It is known that there are several exposures that can be found during the welding process, so it is necessary to carry out an investigation to assess the possible causes of the condition, whether it is due to occupational factors or pre-existing diseases in workers. This case study report focuses on exploring the possible causes of cardiac arrest in this young worker in accordance with his duties as a welder and recommendations for what needs to be done to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. This case study will also help in creating awareness regarding the need for Daily Check Up monitoring in high-risk workers such as welders.

Abstract

Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes might be vulnerable to hypoglycemia, especially those treated with insulin secretagogues such as sulfonylurea and glinide, or insulin. Hypoglycemia compromises driving performance, causes slower response times, and reduces cognitive function. A return-to-work assessment needs to be done after a history of severe hypoglycemia or intractable episodes requiring hospitalization before resuming driving.Case presentation: A-44-year-old man, a commercial vehicle driver with a history of Oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD), was admitted to the hospital with severe hypoglycemia and pre-renal acute kidney failure. After being hospitalized for seven days, the patient was planned to be discharged and intended to return to work as a driver in a car rental company after recovery.Discussion: In determining return-to-work status, a proper analysis is needed in the form of seven steps to establish the return-to-work status. Job description, job demand, current medical status, disability, risk, and tolerance must be discussed before determining fit to work status. References related to how severe hypoglycemia relates to driving tasks could be valuable information in deciding fit-to-work status.Conclusion: Return-to-work assessment has concluded that the patient is temporarily unfit as a commercial vehicle driver for six weeks. Education regarding hypoglycemia, including recognizing symptoms early, how to treat promptly, and avoid further devastating accident should be discussed thoroughly between patient and physician. Close monitoring by Occupational Medicine Specialists in hypoglycemia state and symptoms as a return-to-work- program would be a valuable step.

Abstract

Even though the number of cases has reduced yearly, stunting is still a significant condition affecting Indonesian children. The fight against stunting includes attention to sensitive and specific interventions addressing the direct and indirect causes of stunting. Healthcare workers, as front liners, play a significant role in the intervention and eradication of stunting and are actively involved in the prevention, education, advocation, and data gathering surrounding stunting. Though vital, the role of healthcare workers in the fight against stunting and its impacts have never been discussed extensively, partly due to the vast variation of healthcare workers and layers of medical services (from primary care to advance hospitalization) included in the care for stunting. This review aims to look at available literature resources that fully describe the numerous roles and the impact healthcare workers had on eradicating stunting in Indonesia. While the healthcare roles in providing intervention of stunting (e.g., medical doctors in the prescription of ONS) is essential, it is crucial to equip healthcare (and the community) with sufficient knowledge of stunting.

Abstract

World mental health day is celebrated on October 10th annually. This year (2022) theme is “make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority”.1 Mental health problem is one of the emerging health problems in the world. World Health Organization (WHO) stated that estimated 15% of working-age adults have a mental disorder at any point in time. Japan reported increasing number of mental health problem registered to the workers’ compensation in 2021. The number is keep increasing each year.2 The problem is existed not only in developed country but also in the developing country. Data of Basic Health Research of Indonesia mentioned mental health problem was suffered by more than six percent of population in reproductive ages and about 19% of Indonesian youth have had suicidal thought.3 Mental health is defined as a state of mental wellbeing that enables people to cope with the stress’s life, to realize their ability, to learn well and work well, and to contribute to their communities. Poor mental health will lead to a negative impact on cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, relational wellbeing and functioning, physical health, and personal identity and wellbeing related to work.4 Mental health problem is directly related with certain caused that usually identify as stressor or psychosocial factor. Stressors are existed at the workplaces and responsible for some mental health problems among workers. Since the caused may exist in the workplace, a proper promotion in the workplace to reduce or eliminate the impacts is necessary. In occupational health setting, the current concepts widely developed and implemented to draw the condition related to burnout, mental health and work performance is job-demand resource model. Job demand-resource model draw the balance of “demand”, which play as a negative side, and “resource”, which play as a positive side. If the balance is good and resources are much than demands, workers wellbeing are good. Job demands are similar with stressor or psychosocial factors at the workplace, it may identify more detail such as: quantitative and qualitative workloads, role ambiguity, emotional demands and others. While resources are factors in the workplace that reduce the demands, enhance productivity and achieving work goal.5 Tummers et al concluded that leadership can affect demand and resources balance in some routes. Leadership can directly affect demands and resources. When leader provide motivation, support and autonomy, it will lead to improving job resources, while a bad leader may become anger, irritable, and perform harassment that increase demands. These conditions might directly alter demands and resources among employees. Leadership can also moderate link between resources and motivation and the link between demands and strain. Within job demand-resources model, a good job resources condition will lead to good motivation among employees and in the opposite, too much job demands will lead to job strain, mental stress and some other physical health complaints. Leaders can stimulate employee to use their resources to become more proactive and lead to better engagement with their work or modify workload to reduce demands toward better physical and mental conditions.6 Therefore, in those cases, leader might moderate the link between resources and motivation as well as demands and strain and acts positively to promote attitude of employees related with motivation such as work engagement or modify job demands in order to minimize strain and mental stress so employee will keep being healthy. Van Hees et al confirmed that supervisor may play important role in supporting employee with mental health issues. Their intervention study concluded that supervisor can be guided to take a role in maintaining good environment for employee and resulted improvement in the mental health problem.7 In the other hand, supervisor need to be supported by the organization or the employer. Shanock et al stated that in order for supervisors to be able to provide appropriate support, the organization needs to provide support to the supervisors themselves.8 Supervisor usually plays many roles and keep busy with their duties and responsible. As an executive, supervisors must perceive that they receive a proper support from their directors or company’s owner so that they can act properly as a good supervisor. We might conclude that either declare as a leader or supervisor, supervisor play important role in creating proper environment to ensure positive resources and reduce demands at the workplace. In more practical ways, supervisor can act to boost positive resource by maintaining good communication, support and coaching to the employee and reduce demands by regularly monitor workload, emotional demands, and organizational flow. This action will maintain the balance of demands and resources, create creativity of the employee, increase job crafting, reduce self-undermining and lead to better health status, work engagement and productivity. But supervisor need to be supported by their supra-ordinates in order to act properly. Therefore, support from both, supervisors and the directors or owners are very important and need to be prioritized in the workplace to promote mental health and wellbeing of the employee. And by doing it, we’re also echoing our mental health day theme this year (2022) through our communities.
