Abstract

Background: Oil and gas companies often require employees to work abnormal working hours, namely long shift hours and changing work environment conditions. Understanding how chronotypes, which refer to an individual’s biological preferences for choosing sleep and wake times (starting activities) and job stressors impact anxiety, depression, and distress levels among shift workers in oil and gas companies can aid in developing more effective risk management, health, and wellness programs for the workforce.Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between chronotype and work stress with anxiety, depression, and stress in oil and gas companies.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an oil and gas company in Indonesia. Data was collected in 2024 using online questionnaires and interviews. Chronotype was measured using the Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) in Indonesian Version, job stressors were identified using the Stress Diagnostic Survey (SDS), and distress levels were obtained from the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21). Results: Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the chronotype type for workers in oil and gas companies is morning type as much as 57.4% and midnight type as much as 42.6%. From the results of the analysis, no relationship was found between chronotype and work stressors with stress levels. Chronotype type and work stressors are not related to the level of anxiety, depression and stress in the worker population in this study. The level of anxiety, depression and stress in workers was 20.5% and the prevalence of work stressors in workers experiencing moderate stress levels in the form of role inequality 54.9%, role conflict 52.5%, qualitative overload 52.5%, career development 50%, and responsibility for others 54.1%. While the most quantitative overload stressors were at the mild stress level 54.9%.Conclusion: The majority of respondents were morning type, and their job stressors were at moderate levels. The chronotype and job stressors did not have relationships with the level of distress. Other factors related to the incidence of anxiety, depression and stress levels in this study were age, length of service and type of work.

Abstract

Background: Occupational health research plays a vital role in protecting worker health, preventing work-related diseases, and promoting a safe workplace. However, its success depends not only on the quality of scientific findings but also on adherence to research and publication ethics.Methods:This study presents a narrative literature review analyzing ethical principles throughout the stages of occupational health research. Sources reviewed include international ethical guidelines, scientific journal policies, and national regulations on public health research ethics.Results: Findings highlight that ethical approval by independent committees, continuous and substantive informed consent, and strict data confidentiality are key elements in ensuring research integrity. Additionally, managing conflicts of interest, responsible authorship practices, and preventing plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification of data are critical indicators of ethical compliance. The collaborative roles of researchers, institutions, funders, and government are essential in building an ethical research ecosystem.Conclusion: The consistent and comprehensive application of ethical principles in occupational health research leads to credible and policy-relevant scientific evidence. Cross-sector efforts are required to ensure ethical compliance and sustainability in the field.

Abstract

Background: Integrity is the most crucial element for the reputation of scientific research and publication. Plagiarism is a significant contributor to unethical publications and retractions among research in regions of Asia (namely South, East and Southeast). Self-plagiarism is a form of plagiarism. The number of scientific journals published per year has been steadily increasing, so have the occurences of plagiarism and self-plagiarism in medical research.Methods: In March 2025, we conducted basic search techniques within all fields in Cochrane, Google Scholar and Scopus. We searched PubMed using an advanced search technique with medical terms (MeSH terms). We counted sources from scientific journals published in English between 2018 and 2025.Results: Plagiarism is a prevalent type of research misconduct in which an author presents another individual’s work (such as ideas, data, results, or text) as their own, without giving credit or obtaining consent from the original source. Self-plagiarism can be found when an author duplicates text/ results from his own previous publications. There are three practical steps to avoid plagiarism: cite everything properly, synthesize, and contribute your analysis.Conclusions: Researchers can learn about different types of plagiarism (i.e. self-plagiarism) by taking appropriate training in scientific writing. They can encourage the utilization of plagiarism detection tools, resulting in a significant decrease in the issue. By synthesizing knowledge, methodologies, and perspectives from different disciplines, the risk of unintentional plagiarism can be minimized.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease and can be influenced by psychosocial factors such as job insecurity, work distress, and anxiety. The objective of this study to analyze the impact of job insecurity, work distress, and anxiety on the incidence of hypertension among employees. Explore the mediating role of distress and anxiety in the relationship between job insecurity and hypertension.Method: There was a cross-sectional design, encompassing a population of employees from a fishing equipment manufacturing company. Consecutive sampling was utilized to select study participants, and data was collected via COPSOQ III questionnaires for assessed job insecurity, the 4DSQ instrument for assesses work distress and anxiety, and measuring blood pressure. The collected data underwent logistic regression analysis for mediating role of work distress and anxiety in the relationship between job insecurity and hypertensionResult: In the bivariate analysis, the probability of hypertension is significantly 4.05 times higher in workers experiencing moderate distress than low distress. In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for dependent variables, ikelihood of hypertension is 3.88 times higher in workers experiencing moderate distress compared to those with low distress.Conclusion: There is a correlation between work distress and hypertension among workers in a fishing equipment manufacturing company. Work distress and anxiety do not serve as mediators in the relationship between job insecurity and hypertension among workers. Recommendations for this company is implementation of distress management programs such as training in relaxation techniques, or counseling to reduce worker distress.

Abstract

Background: In research involving human subjects, including occupational health research, informed consent must be obtained from prospective participants. However, the extent to which informed consent should be obtained, what should be disclosed to participants, and how the process should be conducted are not always given due consideration in research. Methods: In April 2025, we conducted a journal search using basic techniques across all sources on Google, Google Scholar and Scopus. We also searched PubMed using advanced search techniques and medical terms (MeSH terms). The journals were published in English at any time between 2014 and 2025.Results: In a study involving human subjects, ethical principles must be followed. One of these principles is obtaining informed consent from potential participants. No one, including the state, can force someone to participate in research, and participants can withdraw from the study at any time. Researchers must obtain informed consent from potential participants. The principle of informed consent requires information, understanding and voluntariness to be fully upheld, ensuring that participants are fully aware of the research being conducted and thereby ensuring the validity of the research results. In certain cases, informed consent may be modified or waived with the approval of the research ethics committee.Conclusions: Researchers can learn about the important role of informed consent in research involving human participants, including those involved in occupational health studies. If prospective participants do not understand the informed consent process, this can cause research to become biased or even lead to withdrawal from the research process. In addition to complying with the three principles of informed consent (information, understanding and voluntariness), the consent process must also take into account the appropriate format, which should be concise and focused.
