Abstract

Waste management concentrates on being able to overcome the waste problem, because the problem of waste is no stranger to hearing, so to be better we must be able to control bad behavior, namely littering. Then this is where we live and also where other living beings live, so we must take care of each other in good condition because the environment will affect all aspects. And a good environment can be seen from the cleanliness of the environment itself, such as clean air, cool and clear water, then managing waste properly and being able to plant more trees so that the environment can re-green the area. However, garbage still destroys the surrounding environment. For the development of a healthy environment, we must be self-aware to protect our homes by minimizing the use of plastic and for waste-producing companies to be able to manage it properly, not to damage the environment by disposing of its waste carelessly. Because to deal with waste management, this company aims to utilize B3 waste. and non-B3. and better to protect the environment using materials that can be recycled.

Abstract

Background: Poor personal hygiene can affect the cleanliness of food provided to patients. A preliminary study conducted at XX Hospital Nutrition Installation found that five food handlers failed to use complete personal protective equipment (PPE), and two food handlers engaged in conversation while preparing food. This research aims to identify factors influencing the implementation of personal hygiene among food handlers at XX Hospital Nutrition Installation. Method: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design from November 2019 to March 2020. The sample included 43 food handlers selected through total sampling. Data analysis utilized SPSS and Chi-square tests. Results: The study indicated that 48.8% of food handlers exhibited inadequate personal hygiene, 41.9% had limited knowledge, 53.5% demonstrated negative attitudes, 60.5% did not receive training, and 51.2% perceived inadequate supervision from their superiors. Significant correlations were observed between knowledge (p=0.004), attitude (p=0.000), training (p=0.000), and perception of supervision (p=0.004) with the implementation of personal hygiene. Conclusion: Attitude, training, and perception of supervision significantly influence the adherence to personal hygiene among food handlers at XX Hospital 's Nutrition Installation. It is recommended that the Nutrition Installation enhance supervision of food handlers' personal hygiene and conduct certified training programs on food hygiene and sanitation. Novelty/Originality: This study provides new insights into the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, training, and perceptions of supervision with implementing personal hygiene in the context of hospital food handlers. The findings suggest that although multiple factors influence individual hygiene, a better training and supervision-based approach can significantly improve compliance with hygiene practices, which is an essential contribution to managing food quality in the hospital environment.

Abstract

Background: Fatigue is an essential body protection mechanism, preventing further damage and allowing recovery after rest. In work, especially in the hospital environment, fatigue can affect the performance and well-being of medical personnel, including nurses. This study aims to identify and analyze factors associated with work-related fatigue among Dr. Adjidarmo Regional Hospital nurses. The main focus of this study includes the relationship between gender, length of service, work attitude, shift schedule, and sleep quality on the level of fatigue experienced by nurses. Method: This study adopted a cross-sectional design targeting a population of 256 nurses who are actively practicing at Dr Adjidarmo Regional Hospital. The study sample consisted of 75 respondents selected using a random sampling method. Data was collected through questionnaire-based interviews that accessed information from secondary and primary sources. The data obtained were analyzed univariate and bivariate to determine the prevalence and significant relationship between the variables studied and work-related fatigue. Findings: Univariate analysis revealed that out of 75 respondents, 54.7% reported experiencing moderate work-related fatigue. Demographic distribution showed that 74.7% of respondents were female, 81.3% had worked for five years or more, 50.7% showed risky work attitudes, 29.3% worked night shifts, and 52.0% reported poor sleep quality. The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between work attitudes (P-value = 0.000), shift schedules (P-value = 0.002), and sleep quality (P-value = 0.000) with the level of work-related fatigue. Conclusion: Based on these findings, it is recommended that shift schedules be distributed evenly during the third shift to reduce nurse fatigue. In addition, stretching exercises and physical activity during work breaks should be encouraged to improve nurses' well-being and reduce fatigue-related problems. This intervention aims to improve nurses' working conditions, which can improve patient care quality and reduce fatigue's negative impact on work performance. Originality/Novelty: This study offers new insights into factors contributing to work-related burnout among nurses, focusing on specific variables such as work attitudes, shift schedules, and sleep quality. The study identifies significant correlations that have not been widely explored in the context of a regional hospital in Indonesia. By providing practical recommendations for redistributing shift schedules and promoting stretching exercises, this study contributes to the development of evidence-based intervention strategies to address burnout in the hospital workplace.

Abstract

Background: Tongue cancer represents the predominant malignancy within the oral cavity (25 – 40% of squamous cell carcinoma), necessitating treatment modalities such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Valproic acid, an antiepileptic medication, functions as a histone deacetylase inhibitor or activator of anti-tumor signaling pathways. Objective: To deepen our understanding of the effects of valproic acid on the viability, cytotoxicity, proliferation, and migration capabilities of HSC-3 cells. Method: This study employed an in vitro laboratory approach, exposing HSC-3 cells to valproic acid. The experimental groups included a negative control with culture media devoid of valproic acid, and treatment groups exposed to valproic acid at concentrations of 145 ppm, 180 ppm, and 355 ppm, respectively. Results: Significant differences (p-value < 0.05) were observed between HSC-3 cells treated with valproic acid (145 ppm, 180 ppm, and 355 ppm) and the control group in terms of viability, cytotoxicity, proliferation, and migration. Reduced cell viability, increased cytotoxicity, and decreased proliferation were noted. Migration assays indicated suppressed migration of HSC-3 cells.  Conclusion: In summary, this study reveals that valproic acid exerts substantial effects on various aspects of HSC-3 cell behavior. It decreases cell viability, enhances cytotoxicity, suppresses proliferation, and inhibits cell migration. These findings highlight the potential of valproic acid as a therapeutic agent for tongue cancer by targeting crucial cellular processes involved in cancer progression. Further research and clinical trials are essential to confirm these effects and explore their application in cancer treatment strategies. Novelty/Originality of this article:: This study shows valproic acid has potential as a therapeutic agent for tongue cancer by decreasing cell viability, increasing cytotoxicity, suppressing proliferation, and inhibiting migration of HSC-3 cells. These findings introduce a new application of valproic acid as an anticancer agent, expanding the use of antiepileptic drugs. This study opens up opportunities for developing more effective tongue cancer therapies and encourages further research and clinical trials to validate these findings.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB or TBC) is a deadly infectious disease that surpasses HIV and malaria as the leading cause of infectious death. Indonesia ranks second in global TB cases. The main challenges in eliminating TB are stigma, social problems and low adherence to treatment due to access to services. The Health Promoting University aims to increase health awareness in universities. This study encourages the participation of the younger generation to voice TB issues in their surroundings and on social media. Method: This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, analyzing secondary data from regulations and literature and a mini survey to measure Indonesian students' understanding of Tuberculosis. Findings: The results of the research show that Indonesia has the second highest TB cases in the world, with vulnerable groups such as students exposed through droplets when sufferers cough or sneeze. Risk factors for students include fatigue from studying, smoking habits, and intense social interactions. WHO data shows that the TB death rate in Indonesia will reach 134,000 in 2022. TB also triggers stigma and discrimination, hindering patients in education and employment. Increasing awareness supported by concrete policies is the main solution in overcoming the spread of TB. Conclusion: Universities in Indonesia have a strategic role in creating a healthy campus environment, in accordance with Law No. 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education and Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 3 of 2020. Through the Health Promoting University, universities are expected to integrate health education, such as TB prevention, into campus culture. Novelty/Originality of this article: This program involves various efforts, such as the formation of TB prevention communities, socialization of clean living behavior, routine health checks, and a "Zero Tolerance" policy for health risks. With this approach, campuses contribute to national efforts to eradicate TB, create a healthy learning environment, and increase students' health awareness.
