Abstract

Introduction: Research on mental health in the workplace presents a complex ethical landscape due to the dual relationships and power dynamics inherent in employer-employee interactions. Workers may feel pressured to participate in research due to real or perceived pressure from their employer, which may affect the voluntariness of their consent. The aim of this review is to describe ethical issues in informed consent related in mental health research interventions in the workplace. Methods: We conducted a search at the Google Scholar database in May 2024, examining various publications and journals from the past five years related to ethical issues surrounding informed consent for mental health research in the workplace using the keywords: informed consent, mental health, ethics, workplace. Results: Total of 3 journals as literature review. Significant impacts from such stigma and discrimination were found in all the journal. Disclosed mental health situation increased a positive impact result at workplace eventough the outcome is infuenced by many factors. The findings indicate a need to provide support mechanisms and to change the culture of workplaces to improve employment opportunities and outcomes for people living with mental health problem. Conclusions: Ensuring ethical informed consent in mental health research within workplace settings requires careful consideration of confidentiality, voluntariness, and transparency. Addressing these issues through multi-stakeholder engagement and fostering a supportive organizational culture can enhance ethical standards. Future research should continue to explore these dynamics and develop strategies to protect participants’ rights and well-being.

Abstract

Background: The excessive use and abuse of antibiotics contribute to bacterial resistance, raising the risk of complications and treatment failures. This study investigates adherence to antibiotic prescriptions among Iraqi dental patients, highlighting implications for antimicrobial resistance.Objective: To assess adherence levels and identify factors influencing antibiotic therapy compliance among dental patients.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in which adult dental patients aged 18 and older, who had been prescribed antibiotics within the past year, participated. The modified Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 items was used to evaluate adherence, and data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics software V26.Results: Among 100 participants, 56% reported forgetting to take their antibiotics, 45% intentionally skipped doses, and 53% reduced or halted their doses. Adherence levels were categorized as medium in 45%, low in 28%, and complete in 27%. There were no significant differences by gender; however, adherence varied significantly across age groups, being higher in those aged 39-59.Conclusion: The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve adherence to antibiotic therapy among dental patients, which is essential for mitigating antimicrobial resistance and enhancing treatment outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Work-related Hepatitis B is a significant health issue among healthcare workers, especially those at high risk of needle stick injuries (NSI). Needle stick injuries can act as a transmission route for the Hepatitis B virus, which, if not adequately managed, may lead to serious complications. Evaluating the Hospital Occupational Health and Safety System (OHSS) is crucial to prevent similar incidents. This study aims to evaluate the OHSS system in a hospital for preventing workplace injuries and to analyze a case of Hepatitis B resulting from a needle stick injury in a sanitarian.Case presentation: A 37-year-old male sanitarian was diagnosed with Hepatitis B following a Medical Check-Up that revealed reactive HBsAg without clinical symptoms. The incident occurred in April 2021 when the patient was pricked by a used needle while handling medical waste without using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and without reporting the incident to the hospital’s occupational health unit. The patient had no history of Hepatitis B vaccination and was previously declared HBsAg negative during a 2020 medical check-up. Based on the analysis using the Seven Steps of Occupational Diagnosis, the incident was categorized as an Occupational Disease due to the failure of the OHSS system in preventing infections.Methods: This case report draws on clinical observations and a retrospective review of patient records, using the Seven Steps of Occupational Diagnosis framework to determine causal factors. Workplace safety protocols, including PPE availability and incident reporting processes, were assessed. The patient provided informed consent for the use of their data, with all identifying details removed to maintain confidentiality.Conclusion: Based on the evaluation using the managerial approach of OHSS, the Hepatitis B case in this sanitarian can be categorized as a work-related disease. The needle stick injury leading to Hepatitis B virus transmission highlights deficiencies in implementing workplace safety systems in the hospital. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening the OHSS system through regular training, adequate PPE provision, improved Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and continuous monitoring to prevent similar incidents.

Abstract

Introduction: Workers in manufacturing industry are frequently exposed to occupational dangers associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. However, few studies were available on work-related musculoskeletal disorders amidst workers in Nigeria’s soap making industry. Objective: To assesses ergonomic risk associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in soap production. Method: Twenty purposively selected soap baking workers from four industries; work postures were assessed. Semi-structured oral questionnaires were used to appraise body areas where participants experienced the WMSDs. Workplace inspections were done by observing soap baking workers engaged in their various tasks. The semi-structured oral questionnaires and observation data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Ovako Working Posture Analysis System. Result: The descriptive statistics revealed that the participants experienced pain/discomfort arising from their work, with the body parts most commonly affected been the lower back, wrists-hands, shoulders, and upper back (100%), respectively, elbows, and ankles/feet (75%), respectively, and neck (50%). Participants identified ergonomic risk were frequent twisting and bending during dragging of soap cake into the conveyor from cylinder cooler hopper as the prominent cause of the ache. Conclusion: The workplace should be ergonomically redesign to reduce frequent bending and twisting during soap baking that require inclined conveyor and handling techniques, to eliminate the identified risk factors causing WMSD among the soap baking workers.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, with a 21.5% prevalence in 2023, impacting children’s development and the nation’s human capital. This study aims to provide additional findings on nutritional status of Indonesia under five children in Cianjur and Klaten.Methods: This study conducts a secondary data analysis of survey data among healthy under five children of blue collar workers in 2 areas (Cianjur and Klaten) in Indonesia with a cross-sectional design and combines with existing nutrition status in Indonesia. Various statistical analysis methods were performed accordingly to obtain insights in refining and scaling up stunting prevention strategies. Results: Overall, 236 under five children of blue collar workers were enrolled in this study. We observed that Cianjur has higher under nutritional status overall than Klaten. The Cianjur region have higher underweight status (10.8%), higher stunting status (20.4%), and higher wasting status (4.3%) compared to Klaten (7.7%, 16.8%, and 2.1%, respectively). In comparison with the prevalences of under nutrition coming from latest national survey, Cianjur found to be has lower underweight status (7.0%), lower stunting status (11.4%) and lower wasting status (3.4%) than Klaten (18.6%, 24.5%, and 7.5%, respectively). There is no significant difference stunting proportion between the two areas. Findings from this survey may reflect the impact of initiatives done by local government in reducing the impact of undernutrition (including stunting) among blue collar workers’ children. Conclusion: This study highlights the positive impact of Indonesia’s stunting prevention programs. Further research is needed to strengthen evidence and refine strategies for better child nutrition and health.
