Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints among healthcare workers, potentially reducing productivity and the quality of hospital services. In Indonesia, data regarding the incidence of LBP among healthcare workers remains limited.This study is a systematic literature review following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles were retrieved from Google Scholar and Garuda databases, focusing on publications from 2016 to 2025. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies discussing LBP among healthcare workers in Indonesian hospitals. Case reports, cohort studies, meta-analyses, and narrative reviews were excluded. A total of 1,110 articles was identified, and after the selection process, 10 articles met the criteria. The majority of studies used a cross-sectional method and questionnaire instruments to measure the incidence and risk factors of low back pain (LBP). The average incidence of LBP among healthcare workers, particularly nurses, identified the main risk factors as age, gender, years of service, working hours, and working posture. It was estimated around 37,3% to 86,6% case of LBP incidence among healthcare workers in Indonesia. Preventive measures, such as ergonomic education and workplace modifications, are recommended to reduce the risk and negative impacts of LBP in hospital settings.

Abstract

Pneumonia is an acute infection of the respiratory tract and lung tissue caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Pneumonia can occur at any age and has a high health concern due to its mortality rate and complications. Mortality in pneumonia is influenced by several factors. This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for pneumonia mortality specifically in the intensive care unit of Krida Wacana University Hospital (UKRIDA). A retrospective cohort study was conducted at UKRIDA Hospital using medical records as the data source. The analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. This study involved 122 participants. The results of the analysis showed that there was an association between history of heart disease and mortality of pneumonia patients (p-value 0.014) but age, gender, smoking history, history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and history of cancer were not associated with mortality of pneumonia patients (p-value > 0.05). Screening and close monitoring need to be done in community pneumonia patients with a history of heart disease for proper management and lower mortality rates.

Abstract

Autoimmune Retinopathy (AIR) is a rare inflammatory disease that causes progressive vision loss due to an autoimmune response against retinal proteins, primarily those of photoreceptor and bipolar cells. AIR is divided into two main subtypes: Paraneoplastic Retinopathy (Carcinoma-Associated Retinopathy (CAR) and Melanoma-Associated Retinopathy (MAR) and Non-Paraneoplastic Autoimmune Retinopathy (npAIR). Diagnosing Autoimmune Retinopathy remains challenging because no standardized diagnostic criteria exist. Essential diagnostic criteria include visual dysfunction, electroretinogram abnormalities, the presence of anti-retinal antibodies, the absence of fundus lesions, and the absence of intraocular inflammation. Currently, no evidence-based standard treatment protocol exists; however, immunosuppressive interventions such as systemic steroids, steroid-sparing agents, local therapy, and biologic agents have been used to slow disease progression. This study is a literature review that aims to examine the current diagnosis and management aspects of Autoimmune Retinopathy, based on 11 scientific articles selected from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, using recent inclusion criteria (2020–2025). Autoimmune retinopathy is a disease with a multifactorial immunopathological mechanism involving humoral and cellular immunity. Early diagnosis, close monitoring of retinal function, and appropriate selection of immunosuppressive therapy are key to preventing further retinal damage. The results of this review are expected to provide comprehensive guidance and identify knowledge gaps for future AIR management.

Abstract

Sleep quality plays an essential role in maintaining overall health, including the proper function of the reproductive system, which is influenced by sex hormones and circadian rhythm regulation. Medical students frequently encounter high academic demands that may disrupt their sleep patterns. Previous research has suggested a possible association between sleep quality and menstrual cycle characteristics; however, findings have been inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and menstrual cycle regularity among female medical students from the 2023 at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana. A descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was applied. Data were obtained through total sampling in November 2024 using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to assess sleep quality and a self-reported menstrual cycle history. Of 67 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 51 (76.2%) reported poor sleep quality, while 16 (23.8%) had good sleep quality. Furthermore, 40 participants (59.7%) had normal menstrual cycles, and 27 (40.3%) reported irregular cycles. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between sleep quality and menstrual cycle regularity (p = 0.794) among these students.

Abstract

Sepsis is a collection of symptoms that occur as a result of an overreaction of the human immune response caused by microbes. Sepsis can progress to septic shock and if it persists accompanied by decreased immunity can cause death. Antibiotic therapy should be given as soon as the diagnosis, starting with empiric antibiotics which are then adjusted according to clinical response or culture results. This study aims to describe the use of antibiotics in RSUD X Jakarta, in adult sepsis cases. The research method is descriptive observational with consecutive sampling in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection was obtained through medical records of patients diagnosed with sepsis. The results showed that the most patients sepsis were aged less than 60 years, there were 51%, men 53%, the length of stay was less than 10 days, 62% and 55% patients had no comorbidities. The focus of infection was mostly in the lungs 38%, patients who sampled the most monotherapy antibiotics were Ceftriaxone 51.1%, the most combination use was Levofloxacin and Meropenem 21.1%, and the longest duration of antibiotic use less than 7 days with Ceftriaxone 43 (53.75%). There were 64 people (64%) of these sepsis patients died. The study concluded that the focus of infection in sepsis patients was mostly in the lungs, men aged less than 60 years, without any comorbid disease, length of stay less than 10 days. The choice of antibiotic monotherapy for septic patients, given Ceftriaxone, for combination therapy given Levofloxacin and Meropenem antibiotics.

Abstract

LBP (Low Back Pain) represents a significant ergonomic problem with economic consequences due to decreased worker productivity. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the relationship between sitting posture and sitting duration with LBP incidence. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sitting posture and sitting duration with LBP incidence among employees of the Social Services Department of DKI Jakarta Province. Methods: This descriptive analytic study with cross-sectional approach involved 39 employees selected using consecutive sampling technique. Data collection utilized the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) to measure LBP and RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) to evaluate sitting posture ergonomics. Data analysis employed Pearson Chi-Square test. Results: The majority of respondents experienced LBP (61.5%), with 41% having low-risk sitting postures and 54.1% with prolonged sitting duration. Bivariate analysis showed significant relationships between sitting posture and LBP (p=0.000) and sitting duration and LBP (p=0.000). Among respondents experiencing LBP, 87.5% had moderate-high risk sitting postures and 95.8% had prolonged sitting duration. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between sitting posture and sitting duration with LBP incidence among employees. Ergonomic education, workplace environment modifications, and regular stretching programs are recommended to prevent and reduce LBP incidence among office workers.

Abstract

Amblyopia or "lazy eye" is a visual impairment due to abnormal visual development in childhood. If not treated early, it can cause permanent visual acuity loss. The main causes are uncorrected refractive errors and strabismus. Routine examinations at school are important to detect and prevent long-term impacts. To determine the prevalence of suspected amblyopia in students of SDN 11 and 17 Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, and its distribution based on age, gender, type, and clinical classification of amblyopia. This study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. Of the 840 students, 792 met the inclusion criteria through total sampling. The examination included visual acuity (Snellen Chart), refractive status (autorefractor), and identification of the type and classification of amblyopia. It was found that 108 children (13.6%) were identified as suspected amblyopia. The proportion of cases was higher in girls (54.6%) than boys (45.4%). The age with the highest number of cases was 10 years (23.1%), followed by 7 years (21.3%). Based on the type, 53.7% were classified as anisometropic amblyopia and 46.3% were isometropic. In terms of classification, the majority (99.1%) were refractive amblyopia and only 0.9% were deprivation amblyopia.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the online gaming industry, especially first-person shooter games like Valorant, has led to increased screen time among teenagers and young adults. Prolonged exposure to digital devices can cause eye health issues collectively known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Computer Vision Syndrome encompasses symptoms such as eye strain, blurred vision, headaches, and dry eyes. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Computer Vision Syndrome among Valorant players in the Indonesian Valorant Community and to identify contributing factors associated with Computer Vision Syndrome symptoms. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 102 respondents from the High Velocity (HIVE) Community, a part of the Indonesian Valorant Community. Data were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using univariate statistical methods. A total of 85.3% of participants reported experiencing Computer Vision Syndrome symptoms. Most respondents with Computer Vision Syndrome were male, with an average age of 21.63 years, and had a university-level education. Longer screen time, improper viewing distance, and refractive errors were significantly associated with the occurrence of Computer Vision Syndrome. Computer Vision Syndrome is a prevalent issue among Valorant players in Indonesia. Education on visual ergonomics, regulated screen time, and regular eye examinations are essential to reduce Computer Vision Syndrome risk.
