Abstract

Introduction: According to the European Occupational Disease Statistics in 2016, as much as 38.1% of Occupational Diseases are Musculoskeletal Disorders. Research in 2013 on the electrical assembly industry in Thailand showed that the most common cause of upper extremity MDS is De Quervain syndrome (DQS) with a prevalence of 13.03%. Previous studies showed that occupational factors are very important as risk factors for DQS, in addition to individual factors. Caused by excessive use of the muscles around the fingers to the wrist, sustained repetitive movements, forceful manual exertion and prolonged static position. In manufacturing industry, the production process need to use tools, machines, and still requires workers for manual work activities and work processes that cannot be replaced by machines. Because manual handling is one of the occupational risk factors for DQS, it is necessary to study DQS in manufacturing industry. This study aims to determine the prevalence of DQS, identify, and analyze the relationship between manual handling and individual factors related to DQS.Method: This research method is a cross sectional using secondary data of PT K employees’ Medical Check-Up (MCU) in 2021. The samples used was all employee’s MCU data with total of 1244 samples. Independent variables include manual handling work factors and individual factors, include age, gender, and years of service. The dependent variable is the De Quervain Syndrome. The DQS was diagnosed with Finkelstein test.Results: A total of 1244 respondents were obtained, with the DQS prevalence 9%. In the analysis of the relationship between manual handling work factor and individual factors (age, sex, and years of service) showed that no significant relationship with suspected DQS in PT K workers. Whereas the multivariate analysis showed that there were no factors that most dominantly influenced DQS, with p>0.05. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between manual handling work factor and individual factors on suspected DQS.

Abstract

Background: Awareness of mental health grew during the COVID-19 pandemic, driven further by globalization, social media access, and the younger generation increasingly entering the workforce.1 These factors contributed to future increasing number of research on this topic. Due to the sensitive nature of mental health and other factors like the involvement of workplace stakeholders, publishing pressure, and incentives, workplace mental health research is susceptible to biases or misconduct. Objective: This review aims to describe potential mechanism of misconduct in workplace mental health research and how important reader’s role to interpret such studies Methods: A narrative review is conducted to highlight studies on scientific misconduct in mental health research in workplace using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Retraction Watch. Six studies in psychiatric, mental health, and general scientific misconduct are used since scarcity on explicitly conducted study on the topic. Results: Key findings include the possibility of positive reporting bias, subjectivity in mental health assessments raise questions about unethical research procedures, sample representation and research integrity, the use of cross-sectional study designs might distort causal links, and publication pressures may lead to data modification or fabrication. To address these concerns, readers must be involved in critically examining and questioning research integrity.Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of transparency, the risks of publication bias, and the pervasive influence of publishability pressures. Notably, diagnostic uncertainty, the frequency of subjective assessments, and cross-sectional study methods all complicate the interpretation of findings in this area.

Abstract

Introduction: Violations of providing excessive working hours to health workers occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Doctors and nurses often have to work longer hours than they should during the pandemic with little compensation. The large number of patients during the pandemic overwhelmed health workers and many of them fell ill or died. However, this is not counted as an occupational disease.Methods: A literature review was conducted to explore instances of scientific misconduct in occupational health studies related to Occupational Anxiety Burnout in health worker during pandemic covid-19. The sources were taken from Google Scholar and Scopus. From the entire search, 5 relevant studies were reviewed.Results: Occupational anxiety burnout could result from concerns about the risk of infection and lack of confidence in the safety measures adopted. Conclusions: Although there are no reports of complaints of burnout as an occupational disease among health workers in Indonesia during COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important to reorganize the work, so as to reduce the effort made by each individual worker.

Abstract

Introductions: There are several unscrupulous companies using benzene in the industry that have taken various actions to manipulate the actual health impacts that can occur due to exposure to benzene, resulting in the dissemination of misleading information to the public. This review aims to compile and analyze scientific misconduct, exploring how this action has impacted public health policies and worker safety regulations over the years and their efforts throughout the years to prevent the right action.Methods : A literature review was conducted to explore instances of scientific misconduct in occupational health studies related to leukemia due to benzene exposure in October 2024. The sources were taken from Google Scholar and PubMed. From the entire search, 2 relevant studies and 1 report were reviewed.Results: Globally, companies using benzene which had manipulated data have contributed to significant delays in implementing regulations regarding benzene exposure. Many scientific errors related to benzene exposure have been identified, especially in the United States. This includes manipulating data from the 1950s to 1970s, specifically regarding the health impacts of benzene exposure and its relationship to the incidence of leukemia. Scientific misconduct causes significant delays in the implementation of necessary regulations.Conclusions: The industry that uses benzene has intentionally manipulated scientific data to shape corporate and public perceptions, causing prolonged production and use of benzene. This has involved the use of research and manipulation of research data to obscure the true results that benzene causes leukemia.

Abstract

Background: Scientific integrity is a cornerstone for ensuring reliable outcomes in toxicology and environmental health, particularly in biomonitoring practices used to assess chemical exposure among workers. Despite advancements in analytical methods, inconsistencies in data collection and interpretation can lead to flawed conclusions, impacting health assessments and regulatory policies. Ethical challenges, such as data manipulation and selective reporting, undermine public trust and jeopardize worker safety.Methods: This study conducted by literature review in October 2024 using Google Scholar and PubMed search engine to identify ethical issues and challenges in biomonitoring related to occupational health and regulatory policies. Relevant literature was analysed to understand the ethical considerations in biomonitoring practices and their implications on workplace policy.Results: Inconsistencies in scientific integrity significantly affect biomonitoring, resulting in misinterpretations and weak safety policies. The absence of standardized biomarkers and uniform sampling methodologies complicates exposure assessment. Inaccurate data can lead to misguided policies, endangering worker safety and diminishing public trust in regulatory frameworks.Conclusions: The integrity of biomonitoring is crucial in shaping effective occupational health policies. Reforms are needed to address ethical challenges in biomonitoring through clear standards and enhanced transparency. By ensuring accurate and ethical data, occupational health policies can better protect workers from chemical hazards.

Abstract

Introduction: Breastfeeding is a crucial source of nutrition for infants, especially from 0 to 6 months. However, many working mothers struggle to provide exclusive breastfeeding due to insufficient workplace support. Although Indonesian regulations and some international policies support breastfeeding rights for working mothers, enforcement remains inconsistent, particularly in industries with high productivity demands.Method: This literature review was conducted in October 2024 using publications from 2018 to 2024. Relevant studies were identified using the Universitas Indonesia Remote Library, Google Scholar, and The Indonesian Journal of Community and Occupational Medicine (IJCOM) with the keyword “breastfeeding worker.” The review includes cases of breastfeeding rights violations by governments, companies, and the public.Results: The findings reveal significant challenges faced by working mothers in the garment industry in Cakung, North Jakarta, such as unpaid overtime and lack of adequate breastfeeding time and facilities. Similar issues were found in Ghana’s health sector, where medical workers lack support and private spaces for breastfeeding, leading to emotional stress and reduced rates of exclusive breastfeeding.Conclusion: There are still numerous workplaces that fail to comply with breastfeeding policies, despite existing regulations supporting workers’ rights. Collaboration between governments and workplace management is essential to ensure the availability of breastfeeding facilities that support the well-being of mothers and infants without compromising productivity.
