Background: Lower back pain (LBP) complaints are a health issue that may lead to restrictions on work activities. Motorcycles vibrations and long sitting duration on the motorcycles can cause chronic lower back pain complaints. Base motorcycles drivers receive motorcycles vibration exposure while riding a motorcycle. With the large number of base motorcycles drivers in Indonesia, the specific health problems (LBP complaints) in this group need to be examined.Methods: This research method uses a cross sectional study design to examine the relationship of motor vibration exposure and length of sitting to chronic low back pain with sampling technique used is Consecutive sampling. Consecutive sampling is a way of taking samples by selecting samples that meet the inclusion criteria until a certain time period so that the number of samples is met. The sampling period in this study is 2 days. The variables that measured were chronic lower back pain complaints, vibration, long sitting time, age, IMT, smoking, and working time. Data analysis using SPSS Statistics version 25.0. Results: A total of 95 subjects were included in this study. Based on Fisher’s test, the result of the correlation of chronic lower back pain complaints with motor vibrations > 0.5 m/s2 was obtained p = 0.102; OR = N / A). While for long sitting time of >4 hours result in p = 0.717; OR 0.85; CI 95% = 0.34-2.09. There is no difference in age-related chronic lower back pain complaints. At age> 35 years of age p = 0.722; OR 1.57; CI 95% = 0.31-7,9. No significant association between IMT and chronic lower back pain was found. In the IMT group> 25, p = 0.103 was obtained; OR 2.14; 95% CI = 0.85-5.36. There was no significant difference in chronic lower back pain complaints based on smoking status, where smoking group had p = 0.451; OR 1,45; CI 95% = 0.55-3.78. According to the Fisher test, there was no difference in chronic lower back pain complaints based on working age, where groups with> 4 years of work had a p = 0.908 value; OR 1.07; CI 95% = 0.31-3.91. Conclusion: In this study the hypothesis was rejected. There is no association between motorcycles vibration exposure and the occurrence of chronic lower back pain complaints in the base motorcycles driver in Bekasi city. There is no association long sitting time with the occurrence of chronic lower back pain complaints in the base motorcycles driver in Bekasi city.

Abstract

Background: Hot work environment can cause various subjective and objective complaints for workers. When workers perform activities under hot work environment, their body will react by balancing the amount of heat received by the body from outside the body and the loss of water in the body. Hydration status is the condition achieving the balance between water intake and water discharge from the body. Bad hydration status or de-hydration can cause various changes in the body physiological functions. This study was intended to see the association between heat exposure and hydration among production workers in Fish Processing Company Sawangan, Depok.Method : A cross sectional study with 88 respondents, selected as a total sampling. The study was conducted on November 2017 until January 2018. Data analysis were used by SPSS version 20.0.Result: There is no significant difference between the specific gravity of urine before and after working (p=0.076). However, 37.5% of the workers had dehydration. There is a significant association between the work environment temperature and hydration status (p=0.002), and also between water intake and status of hydration (p=0.013). Work environment temperature is the most dominant risk factor to influence dehydration (p=0.000; OR= 9.305; 95%CI=2.727-31.748)Conclusions: There is a significant association between heat exposure and hydration status (p=0.000; OR=9.305). The number of workers that were exposed to heat and experienced dehydration is 33 people (37.5%). Water intake turns to be the individual factor that influences the status of hydration of the workers exposed to heat. The work factor that influences the hydration status of the workers is the work environment temperature.

Abstract

Introduction: Naphthalene is one of the chemicals that are widely used throughout the world, such as aircraft fuel, camphor, insecticides, and colouring agents in cosmetics. Exposure to naphthalene can cause health problems ranging from dermatitis and haemolytic anaemia to even the possibility of cancer of the respiratory tract, therefore it is necessary to carry out biological monitoring of workers at risk. The aim of this study is to find out which is the simplest and most reliable biomonitoring to use based on an evidence-based literature review. Methods: Literature search was conducted through electronic databases from PubMed, ProQuest, and Cochrane. The keywords used are worker, naphthalene, and biomonitoring. Initially, 273 articles were obtained, but after going through a selection process and manual search, seven articles were examined. Results: Based on the selected evidence-based literature, it was found that there was an increase in the level of naphthol in the urine in workers exposed to naphthalene who were examined during pre-shift and post-shift. Conclusion: Naphthol concentration in urine can be a non-invasive, easy, and reliable biomonitoring exposure of naphthalene. Although it is currently not possible to do this in Indonesia, this study shows the importance of biomonitoring to prevent occupational diseases due to this exposure.

Abstract

Predictive models have long been used to assist clinical decision-making in medicine. Predictive models are made to estimate how likely a person is to have a disease (diagnostic model) or will experience a disease (prognostic model). In the field of occupational health, for example, diagnostic models can be used to increase the efficiency of surveillance programs by identifying groups of workers with occupational diseases without using complex and expensive diagnostic tests.Work-related asthma (WRA) is the most common occupational lung disease in industrialized countries and the second most common in developing countries. Around the world, especially in developing countries, diagnosing WRA is still difficult due to the limitations of available diagnostic tests. Specific inhalation challenge (SIC), the best test for diagnosing occupational asthma, is only available in several research centres worldwide.Several questionnaire-based models have been developed to diagnose work-related asthma at both the primary (general practitioner) and secondary (specialist) levels of care. A recent model for diagnosing occupational asthma was developed using data from Canada and has been validated using data from several European countries. A collaboration has been initiated to assess the application of this model among Indonesian workers.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best nutrition for infants. Even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, more pregnant mothers intend to breastfeed their babies. Despite this desire, not all of them succeed in initiating breastfeeding. One of the overlooked challenges in breastfeeding is that working mothers need to return to work, increasing hesitancy to continue breastfeeding due to numerous inconveniences, leading to full breastfeeding cessation. Systematic changes are needed following simple and practical changes: giving access to knowledge on breastfeeding while working, sharing advice and support from employers and colleagues, and providing a breastfeeding-friendly workplace, all of which can increase breastfeeding rates in many countries. Improvement in breastfeeding habits would also bring greater impact as increases in working mothers’ wellbeing will increase their work performance. Danone has done several breastfeeding initiatives and post-natal support in workplaces which has shown a positive impact through preliminary evaluation included in this study. The corporate world has not fully supported breastfeeding, but some best practices and learning points shed from this study could become an example that would lead to better commitments from other companies.

Abstract

Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a group of tear film disturbances that are caused by a decrease in tear production or tear film instability. One of the causes of DED is reduced tear secretion, which often happens in visual display terminal (VDT) workers. Blinking therapy is one of the therapies that can be given to DED workers to increase blink rate and reduce the number of incomplete blinks. Methods: Literature searching was done on database such as Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. The keywords used in the literature search were dry eye disease, blinking therapy, and ocular surface disease index. Three articles were chosen and critically appraised. Results: Blinking therapy can be done using conventional methods, using animation software on a computer, or by using specifically designed wink glass. Blinking therapy showed statistically significant changes in OSDI scores, with therapy duration ranging from 20 minutes to 4 weeks. Conclusion: Blinking therapy can be done as a treatment for DED workers to improve dry eye symptoms as measured in OSDI.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, painful, destructive, and disabling disease that has no cure, with a large negative impact on a patient’s quality of life. Sick leave is one of common challenges for people with psoriasis.Aim: To know the absenteeism risk of workers with psoriasis.Method: A literature search using search engine PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted. The inclusion criteria are systematic review, cohort, or case control studies; the subjects of studies are workers; the indicator listed in the title is psoriasis that is not differentiated in any form or type of psoriasis; and the outcome is absenteeism and its synonyms. The exclusion criteria are the articles not written in English, full text is not available, the articles have been used in the recent systematic review, the subjects are blue collar worker or non-office worker, and not relevant according to PICO. Critical appraisal was conducted using standard validity criteria for etiologic/harm/risk studies.Result: A retrospective matched case control analysis was selected with the level of evidence 3b –. Psoriasis patients were significantly more likely than controls to skip working hours (OR = 1.37; 95% CI 1.00 - 1.89; p <0.05) and days (OR = 1.21; 95% CI 0.72 - 2.05) at the previous week due to health reasons. Conclusion: Psoriasis increases the risk of sick leave/absenteeism due to illness than those without psoriasis.
