Abstract

The toilet is one of the facilities provided to meet the needs of users with various backgrounds of different hygiene behavior, so that they can be a source of bacterial transmission, one of which is Escherichia coli (E.coli), which is resistant to producing Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL). E.coli producing ESBL can cause infection of various diseases, to overcome this, preventive measures are taken to reduce the level of risk transmission through the use of toilet seat sanitizers. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of toilet seat sanitizer against E.coli producing ESBL. This research is a descriptive observational laboratory study using a toilet seat sanitizer with an active substance of 50%-Benzalkonium Chloride and Ethyl Alcohol 96% against E.coli producing ESBL American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 35218. The phenol coefficient test was used to measure the effectiveness of the toilet seat sanitizer was compared with phenol, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were tested using the tube method. This study showed that the coefficient of toilet seat sanitizer effective against E.coli producing ESBL was 4,5. MIC active substance toilet seat sanitizer is effective at a concentration of 0,3125%, and MBC at a concentration of 0,625%. The author concludes that the results of the MIC and MBC prove that a toilet seat sanitizer active substances 50%-Benzalkonium Chloride and Ethyl Alcohol 96% is effective as a disinfectant against E.coli producing ESBL ATCC 35218.

Abstract

Low back pain is a disorder of the musculoskeletal system caused by ergonomic exposure, including improper work posture, sitting too long, and excessive activity. Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between work posture, age, length of service, gender, body mass index, last level of education, and smoking habits with LBP complaints in garment sewing workers in the Pademangan area, North Jakarta, in 2024. The research design used in this study was cross-sectional and took place in November 2024. Individual characteristics, job information, and LBP complaints were obtained from the Nordic Questionnaire about lower back problems, while the respondents' work postures were obtained using RULA (Rapid Upper Extremity Assessment). Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test method. A total of 44 respondents (58.7%) showed unergonomic work postures based on the RULA score, and 37 respondents (49.3%) reported LBP complaints. The results of the analysis found a significant relationship between length of service and LBP complaints. Respondents with more than 5 years of work experience tend to experience LBP complaints more often than respondents with less than 5 years of work experience. Ergonomic work posture control is essential to prevent and reduce LBP complaints.

Abstract

Refractive eye disorders are common among elementary school-age children and can affect their quality of life and academic performance. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that approximately 153 million people experience vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive errors, with 70% of blindness in Indonesia caused by this issue. Children with uncorrected refractive errors often struggle to read the blackboard, see learning materials, and experience headaches and eye fatigue. This study aims to determine the prevalence and types of refractive errors in students of SDN 16 and 17 Duri Kepa, West Jakarta.  A quantitative cross-sectional study design was used, with examinations conducted using the Snellen Chart and autorefractometer to measure students' visual acuity.  Of 601 students, 309 (51.4%) had refractive errors. The most common type of refractive error was a combination of myopia and astigmatism (47.6%). The distribution by gender showed that more females (55.8%) had refractive errors than males (50.7%). The highest prevalence was found in 8-year-old children (21.1%) and 2nd-grade students (26.6%). The importance of routine eye examinations in elementary schools to detect refractive errors early and raise awareness about eye health.

Abstract

Refractive errors are the leading cause of visual impairment among school-aged children. Early detection is essential, particularly in children who have difficulty providing subjective responses. Objective refraction instruments, such as autorefractors and non-cycloplegic retinoscopes, can be used as alternatives. This study aimed to compare the objective refraction results obtained using an autorefractor and a non-cycloplegic retinoscope, and to determine which instrument provides results most closely aligned with subjective refraction. This cross-sectional study involved 196 students aged 7 to 12 years from SDN 17 Kebon Jeruk. Each participant underwent refractive examinations using all three methods. The spherical equivalent (SE) results were compared within a tolerance of ±0.25 diopters (D) and analyzed using the McNemar test. The findings showed that the non-cycloplegic retinoscope produced results significantly closer to subjective refraction (p < 0.001), with agreement rates of 83.7% in the right eye and 87.2% in the left eye. In comparison, the autorefractor showed agreement rates of 55.6% and 62.8%, respectively. The SE differences with the retinoscope were also smaller and more consistent. In conclusion, the non-cycloplegic retinoscope provides refractive values that are more comparable to subjective results than the autorefractor, making it a more recommended instrument for refractive screening in elementary school children.

Abstract

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide and often goes undetected until the advanced stages. Risk factors include advanced age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and refractive errors such as myopia and hypermetropia. Objective: To describe the demographic and clinical profile of glaucoma patients at UKRIDA Hospital, West Jakarta. Methods: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Data were obtained from the medical records of glaucoma patients examined at UKRIDA Hospital between July 2024 and March 2025. The variables analyzed included age, gender, systemic diseases, refractive errors, and intraocular pressure (IOP). Results: Most patients were over 70 years old (39.7%) and male (61.6%). A total of 49.3% had systemic diseases, primarily hypertension. The most common refractive error was myopia (45.2%). Elevated IOP was found in 26.0% of right eyes and 31.5% of left eyes. Conclusion: Glaucoma patients at UKRIDA Hospital are predominantly elderly males with risk factors such as hypertension and myopia. The presence of normal IOP in many cases suggests the possibility of normal-tension glaucoma. Broader screening and public education are needed for early detection.

Abstract

Vitamin A deficiency remains a public health issue, particularly among early childhood populations. Night blindness is one of the early consequences of vitamin A deficiency, which can be prevented through adequate nutritional intake. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s eating habits from an early age. Objective of research is to determine the relationship between parents’ knowledge level and the pattern of vitamin A and daily food intake in the prevention of night blindness in early childhood in Sawah Baru Subdistrict. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires and structured interviews with 111 respondents who were parents of children aged 3 to 7 years. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The majority of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (57.7%), and their children's patterns of vitamin A and daily food intake were also in the moderate category. Statistical tests showed no significant relationship between parents' knowledge level and vitamin A intake patterns (p=0.133) or daily food intake (p=0.848). Parents' knowledge alone is not sufficient to ensure optimal feeding behavior in the prevention of night blindness. Other factors such as family economy and dietary habits also play a role.

Abstract

Abstract Accommodation is the eye’s ability to adjust focus on objects at varying distances. Disorders in this function, such as accommodative insufficiency or excess, can cause visual symptoms like asthenopia (eye strain), commonly experienced by students involved in prolonged near work. Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between accommodative disorders and asthenopia among FKIK UKRIDA students, class of 2024. Methods: A descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 148 students selected through total sampling. Accommodative disorders were assessed using the RAF Rule following refraction, while asthenopia was measured using a standardized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Of the 148 students, 89 (60.1%) had accommodative disorders, and 84 (56.8%) experienced asthenopia. Among those with accommodative disorders, 76 (85.4%) also reported asthenopia. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant correlation between accommodative disorders and asthenopia. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between accommodative disorders and asthenopia among FKIK UKRIDA students. Regular eye examinations and visual health education are recommended to prevent and manage visual discomfort in student populations.

Abstract

Stereopsis is the highest binocular vision ability which is very important in children's visual development. Especially in supporting the learning process and daily activities. Refractive disorders such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism that are not properly corrected can inhibit the development of stereopsis. Objective: To determine the stereopsis ability based on the type of refractive disorder that has been corrected in students of SDN 11 Pagi and SDN 17 Kebon Jeruk in 2025. Method: This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 792 students who had their refractive disorders corrected and met the inclusion criteria. Results: Of the total 792 students, 465 students had refractive disorders, with the highest proportion of compound myopic astigmatism (27.9%). This group also showed the highest percentage of subnormal stereopsis (33.5%). In addition, of the 115 students with subnormal conditions, many (51.3%) were accompanied by anisometropia. Conclusion: There are differences in stereopic abilities in children based on corrected refractive errors, groups with a combination of refractive errors accompanied by anisometropia mostly experience subnormal stereopsis. Therefore, it is important to do early detection and correct refractive errors appropriately to support the development of binocular vision and children's learning achievements so that they are maximized.

Abstract

Refractive errors and color vision deficiencies are common visual health issues among school-aged children and can negatively affect learning performance and quality of life. Early detection is essential to minimize their academic impact. This study aims to determine the prevalence of refractive errors and the characteristics of color vision among students at two public elementary schools at Kebon Jeruk in 2025. This is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach. Data were collected through visual acuity tests using a Snellen chart and color vision screening using Ishihara test book on students who met the inclusion criteria. Of the 792 students examined, the prevalence of refractive errors was 458 (57.8%). The most common type of refractive error was myopia with astigmatism 203 (25.66%), followed by astigmatism 144 (18.20%), myopia 77 (9.70%), hypermetropia with astigmatism 25 (3.20%) and hypermetropia 9 (1.1%). Meanwhile, color vision deficiencies were found in 16 (2%) , all of whom were male and had protan and deutan types. The prevalence of refractive errors among elementary school students is relatively high, while color vision deficiencies are less common. Based on the research results, regular eye examinations and education about eye health are crucial for early detection and treatment to support students' learning process.
