Abstract

Background: Exposure to noise in workplace is the leading cause of increased hearing threshold and hearing loss among factory workers. There are other factors other than noise than can cause increased hearing threshold such as age, length of work, history of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, Body Mass Index and smoking habit. PT K is a company that produce heavy machinery parts for construction where workers are exposed to noise above Threshold Limit Value (TLV).Methods: A cross-sectional research of 965 employees was conducted after passing the ethical evaluation based on the 2022 medical check-up results. Samples were taken from total secondary data from the company’s medical records and data verification was done to eliminate duplication and confirm data validity. Univariate, chi-square for bivariate analyses were performed.Result: The prevalence of increased hearing threshold among workers is 39.6%. The factors that associated with the prevalence of increased hearing threshold were determined to be older age group (p<0.001), history hypertension (p=0.003), dyslipidemia (p=0.008) and overweight – obese Body Mass Index (p=0.002).Conclusion: Older age group, length of work, works departments, history of high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and overweight – obese Body Mass Index were significant risk factors associated with increased hearing threshold. The risk of increased hearing threshold is 3.2 times higher in workers above 36 years old. This indicate the importance of preparing better mitigation strategy of noise control and hearing conservation program, particularly in workers older than 36 years old.

Abstract

Introduction: The 2019 general election in Indonesia was the first general election to be held simultaneously and election officers (KPPS) had to complete the vote count on the same day with additional ballot papers. This situation caused high mortality and morbidity among KPPS officers due to stress and fatigue caused by job overload. This study was aimed to explore the factors related stress response in 2019 election KPPS officersMethods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted to the issue under the study included 80 data of KPPS officers at Polling Station (TPS) in Jakarta, Banten, and Yogyakarta. Occupational stressor and stress response was assesed with NBJSQ bahasa Indonesia. Multiple logistic regression models were used to explore factors associated with stress response.Results: The most perceived occupational stressor experienced by the 2019 General Election KPPS officers in this study were quantitative job overload (47,5%).The stress response that occurred in the 2019 General Election KPPS officers in this study was fatigue (17.5%). There was no relationship between occupational stressor and individual factors with stress response (p>0.05)Conclusion: This study showed that quantitative job overload was a major occupational stressor among KPPS officers in general election 2019. The stressor can trigger the incidence of heart attacks in predisposed individuals.

Abstract

Introduction: The increased use of Visual Display Terminals (VDTs) allows close work with continuous screen gazing during working hours. Close work forces the eyes to accommodate resulting in contraction of the ciliary system. This sustained contraction will lead to ciliary system weakness, making close work a risk factor for premature presbyopia. Methods: The research design was cross sectional. It was conducted on employees of health centers in Bekasi district who were under 40 years old with more than 1 year of service as employees and had used VDT for at least 1 year. Employees filled out an interview form voluntarily then the answers would be verified according to presbyopia and finally measured the amplitude of accommodation for respondents who met the presbyopia criteria. The research was carried out throughout December 2023. The collected data were statistically processed using the SPSS 26 application tool.Results: Of the 100 respondents who filled out the interview form and then verified and measured, 22 people (22%) had premature presbyopia. Age (p-value 0.014), type of VDT (p-value 0.049) and habit of working with VDT for 1 hour non-stop (p-value 0.016) were associated with premature presbyopia because they had a p-value <0.05. Based on multivariate test, the factor of working with 1 hour non-stop VDT was the only factor with p-value 0.018 and OR 3.78995% CI 1.255-11.445.Conclusion: There is an association of VDT use with the incidence of premature presbyopia in office workers by 22%. With the most significant influence owned by the factor of working with VDT 1 hour non-stop.

Abstract

Breastfeeding has been shown and proved to offer numerous health benefits for infants and mothers. Despite this fact, studies have found that the level of exclusive breastfeeding continues to be low both in developed and developing countries. The issues with breastfeed and continue breastfeeding due to multiple factors, one of the biggest challenges is as a working mother. Working mothers face the challenge of balancing breastfeeding and paid work, thereby increasing the risk of early cessation of breastfeeding in general and exclusive breastfeeding. There are many studies to overcome these issues, however not many studies exposing the ethical issues, difficulties and opportunities while solving this matter. Such as moral work women undertake when engaging with breastfeeding, influenced by cultural and social norms that makes it harder for breastfeeding mother.

Abstract

Introduction: Issues related to ethics discussed in an article are currently still very limited unless the article discusses “ethical issues”. Interventions are treatments that often pose challenges related to ethics during their implementation and even afterward, one of which is intervention in the field of nutrition in the workplace. The aim of this review is to describe ethical issues in nutrition-related interventions in the workplace.Methods: We conducted a search on the PubMed Central database in November 2023 to look at various publications and journals in the last 5 years related to the ethical issue of nutritional interventions in the workplace using the keywords: nutritional interventions, ethics, workplace.Results: Total of 3 journals as literature review. The relationship between the risks and benefits of participating in research is an important aspect of the principle of beneficence. Research can be ethically acceptable if risks have been minimized (both by preventing potential harm and minimizing possible negative impacts) and the benefits of research are greater than the risks. The results illustrate the wide range of nature, types, and scope of existing public health nutrition-related interventions, and the range of ethical issues that may arise from these interventions, in addition to the many different contexts in which they may be applied.Conclusions: The results of this review describe the varying nature, types, and scope of existing (or planned) workplace nutrition-related interventions, the different contexts in which they are implemented, and the various ethical issues that may arise. Ethical issues can only be addressed by considering the complexity of each situation. it is universally agreed that all health research that includes humans as research subjects must be based on the ethical principle of respect for human dignity (respect for person), doing good (beneficence), and justice (justice)
