Abstract

Background. Musculoskeletal complaints refer to issues within the skeletal muscles experienced by an individual, varying from slight discomfort to severe agony. An improper working posture significantly increases the likelihood of musculoskeletal diseases, particularly in the lumbar and cervical regions. At the Sri Tanjung cracker facility in Kenanga Indramayu Village, there were reports of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) with differing incidence rates, including symptoms of pain in the back, neck, waist, shoulders, arms, and wrists. A continually adopted ergonomically unsound work posture, along with large workloads and extended durations, can jeopardize worker safety. Aims. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between work posture and the prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) among employees at a cracker factory. Methods. The employed methodology was an analytical study utilizing a cross-sectional design. The research population encompasses all employees in the production department of the Sri Tanjung cracker factory, totaling around 50 individuals, which constitutes the entire population—data analysis with Pearson's chi-squared statistical tests. Result. The study identified work position as the statistically significant variable influencing the incidence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) (p = 0.031). Conclusion. Work posture is a contributing factor to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) among workers at the Sri Tanjung cracker industry. Implementation. Consequently, manufacturing workers can enhance their awareness of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) via social media platforms, improve their work posture, and engage in stretching exercises for limbs subjected to awkward positions.

Abstract

Background. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. According to the Ministry of Health of Timor-Leste's 2023 malaria elimination report, Covalima, Bobonaro, and Oecuse districts collectively reported 9 malaria cases in 2023, along with a notable vector density. Spatial analysis offers a comprehensive method for compiling and managing spatial data, transforming it into meaningful insights. Aims. This study aims to describe malaria mapping based on epidemiological variables in Bobonaro and Covalima Districts, Timor-Leste. Methods. This descriptive epidemiological research utilizes malaria case reports from Bobonaro and Covalima Districts as its population and sample. Result. The results indicate that the Annual Malaria Incidence (AMI) and Annual Parasite Index (API) in these districts showed an increasing trend from 2019-2023, mainly attributable to imported cases from the border region between Covalima and Malaka Districts. Males and individuals over 15 years of age are more frequently affected by malaria, likely due to their higher levels of mobilization for work or other activities. Plasmodium falciparum is the most common species identified, primarily associated with swamp habitats. Conclusion. Covalima District has two temporary and one permanent swamp. Additionally, lake and lagoon habitats were identified in the Covalima Regency. The two regencies share similar conditions regarding sun intensity, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and altitude. Implication. Communities can play a crucial role in independent malaria vector control efforts, such as introducing larvivorous fish into water bodies and eliminating stagnant water puddles around homes

Abstract

Background: Computers are the main devices that support the efficiency and effectiveness of work in modern office environments, including MSMEs in South Sumatra Province. However, long-term use of computers with unergonomic sitting postures can increase the risk of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) in workers. The results of preliminary observations showed that the percentage of variation in WMSD complaints was between 13%-42% of the total work-related diseases related to computers. Aim: This study aims to identify muscle complaints experienced by workers, analyze the risk of working posture using ergonomic methods, and provide suggestions for improvements to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: This study uses the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) method to assess the risk of computerized and sitting activity-based work postures. In addition, Nordic Body Map was used to map the location of muscle complaints in respondents. The study was conducted on 20 workers in four MSMEs in South Sumatra Province who worked with high computer intensity. Results: The analysis showed that all four respondents had a high level of occupational posture risk based on the ROSA score. A total of 36 muscle complaints were reported, with the most complaints located in the lower neck, waist, and buttocks. The main factors causing complaints include prolonged static sitting positions and inadequate adjustment of work facilities. Conclusions: The work posture of MSME workers in South Sumatra Province indicates a level of ergonomic risks that requires serious attention. Interventions such as improving work facilities and training in correct work posture are highly recommended. Implementation. These findings affirm the importance of applying ergonomic principles in computer-based work environments to prevent WMSDs, improve work comfort, and support the productivity of government sector workers.

Abstract

Background. In West Java, 83% of adolescents lack understanding of reproductive health, and 74% feel insufficient family support during menstruation. Around 70% of genital hygiene problems are caused by the use of inappropriate sanitary pads, compounded by poor practices such as infrequent pad changes or incorrect cleaning techniques. Consequently, adolescents are at risk of experiencing leucorrhea, irritation, and vaginitis. Objective. To examine the factors influencing personal hygiene among adolescent girls during menstruation at SMPN 7 Cirebon City in 2025. Methods. An analytical survey approach was used to explore how and why health-related phenomena concerning menstrual personal hygiene occur. The study employed a cross-sectional design, which observes correlations between risk factors and effects through data collection at a single point in time using an observational approach. Conclusion. Logistic regression analysis showed that knowledge was the most influential factor affecting personal hygiene (p=0.045, OR=0.70). Adolescents with good knowledge were 0.70 times more likely to practice proper personal hygiene compared to those with poor knowledge.Implementation. It is necessary to improve adolescents’ knowledge about personal hygiene through school-based learning.

Abstract

Background. Malnutrition remains a major global health challenge affecting millions of school-aged children. Adequate nutrition during childhood is essential for optimal physical growth, cognitive development, and learning achievement Aims. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) Program on the nutritional status, concentration in learning, and attendance of public elementary school students in Kebayoran Lama District, South Jakarta. A quantitative descriptive case–control design was used, involving 200 students from two public elementary schools—100 MBG beneficiaries and 100 non-beneficiaries. Methods. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire measuring students’ perceptions of the MBG program, nutritional status, learning concentration, and attendance, complemented by BMI records and structured observations. Statistical analyses included Shapiro–Wilk, Mann–Whitney U, Chi–Square, MANOVA, and Odds Ratio tests. Results showed that the MBG program significantly improved students’ perceptions of its impact and contributed to better nutritional status in the experimental group, although improvements in learning concentration were not statistically significant. Attendance remained higher among control students, suggesting the influence of external factors such as family or environmental conditions. Conclusion. The MBG Scale demonstrated good validity and reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.65–0.73). Overall, the MBG program positively influenced students’ nutritional status and perceptions of program benefits, but had limited effects on cognitive and attendance outcomes. Implementation. Strengthening program implementation quality, expanding coverage, and integrating psychological and family support components are recommended to enhance its effectiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus that often attacks children, especially in preschool-age children. Children who experience DHF will exhibit signs and symptoms such as hyperthermia. One of the non-pharmacological methods that can be used to reduce hyperthermia in children is with compresses (aloe vera). Aims. To explore the implementation of compress therapy (aloe vera) as a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce hyperthermia in preschool-aged children diagnosed with DHF. Methods: The research design used was descriptive, rather than a case study approach, with two pre-existing children. Schools that experience hyperthermia due to DHF. Compress intervention (aloe vera) will be given for five days, with a duration of 15 minutes. Results: The study was conducted on pre-school children. Both have the same medical diagnosis, i.e., DHF. The intervention was in the form of compress therapy (aloe vera). After 5 days of intervention on both subjects, there was a change: Subject 1 experienced a decrease in body temperature on the third day, while Subject 2 experienced a reduction on the second day. Conclusion: The implementation of compress therapy (aloevera) has been proven to lower body temperature in preschool-aged children with hyperthermia due to DHF. Implementation. Aloe vera can be used as an alternative to non-pharmacological interventions that are safe, natural, and easy to apply.
