Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is pain that is felt in the lower back area, namely between the corners of the lowest ribs and the lower buttocks (lumbar or lumbo-sacral area) and can be local pain or radiate to the upper thighs/legs or both. Low back pain is a 10% debilitating condition that results in a change in life expectancy due to disability. Low back pain is not a malignancy and is a self-limiting condition, but patients always seek treatment to reduce the severity of their symptoms. Chronic Low Back Pain can alter lifestyle and increase the rate of prolonged absenteeism at work resulting in physical limitations. Discomfort due to chronic low back pain is a sign that requires immediate treatment. Methods: The purpose of this evidence-based case report is to get the right answer about McKenzie exercise in reducing low back pain in office workers. Article searches were conducted through PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, Randomized Control Trial (RCT), Adult or Productive Age, Non Specific Chronic Low Back Pain and McKenzie Exercise. Then critically reviewed using Oxford CEBM criteria for intervention-therapy studies Results: 1 research article was obtained that met the inclusion criteria with the type of Randomized Control Trial (RCT). Conclusion:. The critical review showed that McKenzie exercise can reduce complaints of low back pain at 5 weeks of treatment, but this exercise did not show a clinical effect in the form of a reduction in complaints of low back pain after being implemented for 3,6 and 12 months.

Abstract

The manufacturing industry typically requires capacities on a large scale, increasing the risk of workplace accidents and illnesses. Thus, a stringent Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) guideline is needed, notably through early Return to Work (RTW) policies. In this review we explore how the acceleration of the RTW process influences employees, factories, and policy after accidents. Using a literature review approach, this research collected the data and information from from books, journals, and articles discussing the topic of OHS management in domestic and overseas factories.Acceleration of RTW included gradual task modifications, alternative tasks, and workstation adjustments to facilitate workers’ return post-injury. RTW positively impacted workers by fostering a sense of value, maintaining income, preserving physical well-being, sustaining a positive work image, and reducing emotional stress. Job modifications within the "Return to Work" and "Early Return to Work" programs address the challenges posed by injured workers while sustaining production dynamics in the factory.

Abstract

Background: A safe and healthy work environment is key to sustainable development and in view of this, in June 2022, the International Labour Organization (ILO) declared this to be a fundamental principle and right at work, and recognised the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187) as fundamental Conventions. The objective of this study was to assess the global as well as regional ratification status for ILO Conventions 155 and 187 among member countries, one year after their declaration as fundamental conventions. Methods: Updated ratification status was accessed in November 2023 through the ILO NORMLEX system, and presented in descriptive statistics using bar charts and line charts. Results: By November 2023, 80 (42.8%) and 62 (33.2%) ILO member countries had ratified ILO Conventions 155 and 187 respectively, with highest ratification numbers from countries in the Europe and Central Asia region, 62.7% and 56.9% for Conventions 155 and 187 respectively, and lowest ratification numbers from countries in the Arab states region, 18.2% and 9.1% respectively. Conclusion: Active ratification campaigns and awareness, especially in regions with low ratification numbers, can further improve the ratification status to achieve the target of universal ratification.

Abstract

Background : Work shifts could cause numerous health problems, such as sleep disorders, weight gain disorders, and unhealthy food intake consumption, leading to obesity and changes in blood glucose levels, that eventually lead to diabetes mellitus. This evidence-based case report aims to provide an evidence of association between shift work and the risk of diabetes mellitus among nurses. Methods : We performed a literature searching from Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, and Google Scholar in September 2023 using keywords ‘shift work’ AND ‘diabetes’ AND ‘nurse’. We included studies that assessed the association between shift work and diabetes among nurses using observational studies, meta-analysis, and systemic review as their study design. The outcome variable was the odd ratio or the relative risk of developing diabetes. We excluded cross-over studies, clinical trials, and cross-sectional studies. In addition, quality assessment was conducted according to The Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM). Results : After title and abstract screening, we found seven out of twenty articles with a total of 689,273 participants. Among these articles, there were three cohort studies which found an increased relative risk (1.08 to 2.60) of diabetes among nurses who worked night and rotating shifts compared to those who did not. Another evidence from two cohort studies and one meta-analysis identified that nurses who worked in full shifts had an increased risk of diabetes (1.05 to 3.60) than those who worked non-shifts. Factors affecting the risk of diabetes were gender, unhealthy lifestyle, sleep disorders, and shift work duration (≥10 years). Conclusions : Shift work in nurses has a significant association with the risk of diabetes mellitus. Nurses had been working shift work for more than 10 years, particularly on night shift, had a higher risk compared to those who had been working for less than 10 years without night shift. Additional factors such as obesity, smoking, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, and sleep disorders would increase the risk of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is an aliphatic amide which is miscible with water and a majority of organic liquids. Due to its amphiphilic properties, it is a widely used industrial solvent, especially for polymers. DMF has been consistently hepatotoxic, inducing effects on the liver at lowest concentrations or doses. N-acetyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoyl)cysteine (AMCC) which is one major metabolites of DMF, found in urine after DMF exposure of the whole workweek. Objective: To determine the way of AMCC can be use as biomarker of DMF exposure and the best possible sampling time. Method: This study conducted a literature search using evidence-based databases focusing on clinical questions using the “PICO” method. The author searched the relevant articles using the following databases: “PubMed”, “Scopus”, and “Embase”. The keywords used included “Dimethylformamide”, “Workes,” “AMCC” (MESH Term), “N-Acetyl-S-(N-Methylcarbamoyl)cysteine,” along with their synonyms combined with Boolean operators. Inclusion criteria comprised studies involving workers populations, cohort, cross sectional, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, written in English, and with full-text availability. Exclusion criteria included case report, RCT, and articles with incomplete data or inaccessible full text. Results: Based on the analysis of five reviewed literature, the author obtained insights into the effectiveness of AMCC use as biomarker of DMF exposure. It can be use after several workdays exposure of DMF (3-5 days). The best of time sampling is at morning or afternoon of last day on the workweek. AMCC result is described as cumulative DMF exposure of a whole week, and more relevant associated with the hepatotoxicity of DMF than the other DMF metabolite, N-methylformamide (NMF). Conclusion: AMCC can be considered as a cumulative exposure of DMF of a whole week and more relevant associated with DMF induced hepatotoxicity. Keywords: Dimethylformamide, Worker, AMCC

Abstract

Background: Presenteeism has been identified to cause productivity loss more than 50% greater than absenteeism. Currently in Indonesia there are no standardized tools to assess presenteeism among workers. Therefore, we intended to adapt and validate SPS-6 in Indonesia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with cross-cultural adaptation refers to the ISPOR method, with a validity and reliability statistical test. Total respondents were 112 white-collars workers. Inter-item correlation was used for validity test and Cronbach’s Alpha was used for reliability test. Results: Cross-cultural adaptation of SPS-6 has been successfully done. The most significant change occurred in the explanation of the health problem definition. All item and item’s dimension were statistically significant correlated with total score. Cronbach’s alpha of work focus dimension and psychological dimension was 0.657 and 0.646, respectively. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the SPS-6 questionnaire was valid and reliable and could be used as an instrument to identify presenteeism for office workers (white collar workers) in Indonesia.
