Abstract

The results of preliminary observations of the working conditions and environment of freight workers in the 16 Ilir Market, Palembang City, South Sumaetera Province are categorized as less ergonomic in physical, work environment, psychological, organizational and management aspects. Freight workers work by placing baskets on their heads, on their backs and even some without tools directly on their shoulders which load basic food items, and loading-unloading warehousing goods, weighing ±35 kg, a distance of ±500 meters with a low level of productivity. After finishing work, freight workers experience aches all throughout the body, particularly in the legs and neck, as well as waist and back pain. Based on work pulse frequency, the workload was determined to be 131.25±14.10 beats per minute, and it was categorized as heavy work. The fatigue score reached 69.10±15.29 and the musculoskeletal disorder score was 61.25±7.44. The method used is a total ergonomics approach, to enhance work productivity by reducing workload, fatigue, and musculoskeletal system issues. Thirty research samples were chosen by simple randomization of freight workers for this same-subject experimental study. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the t-paired test were used to evaluate the data at a 5% significance level. Workload, weariness, and musculoskeletal complaints significantly decreased, and productivity increased (p<0.05), according to the data. In conclusion, the total ergonomics approach reduced workload as seen from the decrease in: work pulse rate by 15.61%, fatigue by 58.97%, musculoskeletal system complaints by 28.78%. Consequently, there was a 21.00% increase in productivity. The total ergonomics approach can improve the quality of life and work productivity of freight workers in 16 Ilir Market, Palembang City, South Sumatera Province

Abstract

One significant risk factor associated with the occurrence of Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is Neonatal Asphyxia. Premature rupture of membranes is a condition where the amniotic membrane breaks before the onset of labor, which can lead to infections and other complications, including asphyxia in newborns. According to several studies, the incidence of PROM ranges from 2% to 20% of all pregnancies, with the incidence varying depending on various factors, including access to healthcare services and the medical conditions of pregnant women. Neonatal asphyxia is a condition where a newborn baby experiences a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) that can lead to permanent organ damage or death. This study aims to determine the relationship between the incidence of Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) and the incidence of Neonatal Asphyxia at Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon City in 2024.This research is a type of descriptive-analytical study, using the cross-sectional method. The population in this study consists of all deliveries recorded in the medical records of Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon City for the period of January-April 2024, totaling 365. The sampling technique in this study is proportionate purposive random sampling taken from deliveries during the period of January-April 2024, amounting to 100 samples. The research results showed an incidence rate of Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) at Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon City during the period of January–April 2024, with 53 cases (53%), an incidence rate of Asphyxia with 88 cases (88%), and a p-value of 0.017, which is less than 0.05. The conclusion of this study shows that the number of respondents who experienced PROM and asphyxia was 51 people (51%). The chi-square test results showed a significance value of 0.017 (p-value <0.05) and an Odds Ratio (OR) value of 6.892. From this study, it was found that there is a relationship between the incidence of premature rupture of membranes and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia at Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon City during the period of January-April 2024.

Abstract

Background. Breast milk is the ideal food for neonates and serves as the exclusive nutritional source needed by infants during the first months of life. Oxytocin massage is a technique employed to mitigate insufficient breast milk production. Aim. This study aims to investigate and assess the effect of oxytocin massage on increasing breast milk production in nursing women. Methods. This study used a descriptive experimental design featuring pre- and post-test evaluations to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on breast milk supply in nursing mothers. The research will be place at the Cidahu Health Center in Kuningan Regency, West Java Province. The event is planned for June to July 2024, featuring 18 postpartum ladies. Research Results: A majority of responders, comprising 14 persons (77.8%), are aged between 20 and 35 years. A substantial segment, consisting of eight persons (44.4%), has advanced degrees. Furthermore, 11 respondents (61.1%) possess multipara parity, whilst six individuals (33.3%) are employed in the informal sector. The Wilcoxon test produced a significance value of 0.000, which is below 0.05, signifying a substantial alteration in breast milk production pre- and post-oxytocin massage. The credible hypothesis posits that Ha is accepted while Ho is rejected. Conclusion: The predominant demographic of respondents was those aged 20 to 35 years, possessing a collegiate education, exhibiting multipara parity, and engaged in homemaking. A association was observed between oxytocin massage and lactation in postpartum mothers at the Cidahu Health Center in Kuningan Regency, with a significance level of p-value 0.000. Implication: Health workers can provide knowledge related to Oxytocin Massage to the community through counseling and other interesting content and can apply Oxytocin Massage to postpartum mothers.
