Abstract

 Information on measuring risks prevalent among healthcare workers in Ghana andglobally is limited. With anecdotal evidence suggesting a high level of occupational injuries among health workers working in a Ghanaian University Hospital, this studywas conducted to identify the common hazards faced by the health workers and use thedecision matrix risk assessment technique to determine the risks associated with somehazards identified. The study also determined these workers’ knowledge, attitude, awareness, and practices toward occupational health and safety. A triangulation of methods was used. The study used a survey, a review of incident registers, and an expertevaluation. There were a total of 133 participants made up of various health professional groups, with nurses and midwives being the majority (31.6%). Knowledge, attitude, awareness, and practices towards occupational health and safety were high.Knowledge scores were significantly associated with age groups (X2-18.996, p-0.001)and cadre of staff (X2-14.690, p-0.005). Attitude was significantly associated withage groups (X2-10.467, p-0.033), years of working (X2-11.112, p-0.011), and cadreof staff (X2-15.467, p-0.004). Awareness was significantly associated with years ofworking (X2-8.57, p-0.035). There was a high prevalence of self-reported needle stickinjuries. A review of incident registers revealed a high underreporting rate of occupational injuries. Staff were found to be at high risk of musculoskeletal injuries and stress.

Abstract

 Persons of Concern (PoC) are people displaced because of natural disasters or conflictsand violence, and they include refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons(IDPs), and returnees. Nigeria is one of the major destinations of PoC in Africa. PoCshould have the same rights in any sector, including health access in their destination.However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, about 19% of households faced a lack ofaccess to health facilities in Nigeria. This study examined the factors related to the lackof access to health facilities among PoCs in Nigeria during the COVID-19 pandemicin 2020. Methods: Secondary data from the UNHCR survey, which was conducted inJuly 2020 among 3,222 households categorized as PoC, was used. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were used to assess the factors with the aid of STATA 17software. Results: Factors such as state of residence, population status, marital status,and gender of household heads were found to have a significant correlation with thelack of access to health facilities in Nigeria. Conclusion: The UNHCR, the Nigeriangovernment, and other stakeholders must work together to ensure all PoCs can accesshealth facilities easily, especially during outbreaks of pandemics and other disasters.

Abstract

 Iron deficiency anemia is a significant global public health concern that disproportionately affects young children and pregnant women. One effective method for monitoring medication in pregnant women is through mobile applications. This study aims to investigatepregnant women’s experience with iron supplementation adherence management using amobile application. A qualitative study with a phenomenology approach was conductedamong 20 pregnant women and midwives. The qualitative method was used to explore participants’ experience using a maternal application called “MySmart Bumil” to improvepregnant women’s adherence to iron supplements. The study identified four themes: the factors of non-compliance, the motivation for taking iron supplements, and the benefits andthe weaknesses of using the application. Mobile app reminders can help pregnant womencheck medication frequency, remind them to take iron tablets, and build more consistentmedication habits. However, some pregnant women found that the reminder was ineffective. Pregnant women thought that the notifications should have alarms to be more effective. The mobile application has the potential to assist health providers in effectively monitoring the health state of pregnancy and improving adherence to iron supplementation

Abstract

Hajj is an annual international ritual because it is carried out every year and involves Muslims from various parts of the world. Based on data from Siskohatkes, in 2022 there was a decrease in the number of pilgrims who died, which is 101 pilgrims, while in 2023 there was 8 times increase to 856 pilgrims who died. In 2022, the number of pilgrims with SOC embarkation who died was 19 pilgrims, while there was a significant increase in the number of deaths of pilgrims by approximately 6 times with the number of 129 pilgrims who died. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for death of pilgrims for SOC group. This study is an observational quantitative study with a nested case control research design. This research was conducted in Central Java Province and Yogyakarta Special Region Province during the Hajj period 1444 H (2023). The result is that cardiomegaly (p-value:0,009; OR: 2.058; 95% Cl: 1.195-3.543), disease history (p-value<0.001; OR: 0.242; 95% Cl: 0.155-0.377), overweight and/or obesity (p-value<0.001; OR: 0.460; 95% Cl: 0.302-0.700) have a significant impact on the mortality of the Hajj pilgrims. It is hoped that Semarang Port Health Office can carry out monitoring and give more attention towards pilgrims who have cardiomegaly.

Abstract

 The development of COVID-19 cases in Aceh for each region based on spatio-temporal is vital information to know. Spatio-temporal mapping is carried out to knowthe distribution of cases in diversity based on regional and time conditions. The timeseries design study was used as the research design in this study. This study aims toobtain factors that influence the incidence of COVID-19 cases in Aceh using paneldata regression analysis and the GTWR model for more accurate results. There arenine variables from 23 districts/cities in Aceh Province in 2020 and 2021. Based onpartial panel data regression analysis, of the eight independent variables that arefactors for analysis, it shows that only the variable number of doctors (p < 0.000),number of Tuberculosis Cases (p < 0.000), Number of Villages with Puskesmas (p< 0.026), and Number of Poor population (p < 0.035) have a significant effect onthe increase in COVID-19 cases in Aceh. The number of Tuberculosis Cases is avery dominant variable. Then, the results of the GTWR analysis using the AdaptiveKernel Exponential weighting function show that regional and time diversity affectthe factors that cause an increase in COVID-19 cases in Aceh. These factors need tobe a concern in controlling COVID-19 cases in Aceh in the future.

Abstract

 PM10 particles can be inhaled and absorbed into the bloodstream and lymphatic systems.However, there is a lack of information in Thailand regarding the release of dust fromstone mill units and the potential health risks it poses to the surrounding community. Theaim of this research is to assess the health risks associated with PM10 exposure for residents of communities surrounding stone milling plants in Northeastern Thailand. Thestudy included a total of 225 households located both downwind and upwind of the stonemilling plants. Data were gathered by the conduct of a questionnaire to the participants,as well as the collection of PM10 particulate matter in the specified area. The collectionof PM10 was conducted following the established NIOSH method number 0600. Thenon-carcinogenic attributes of PM10 were analyzed based on the guidelines provided bythe Environmental Protection Agency. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed onthe collected data to determine various parameters such as frequency, percentage, average,maximum, and minimum values. The mean concentration of PM10 in the downwindcommunity was 0.024796 mg/m3 (S.D. = 0.0551), while in the upwind community itwas 0.000232 mg/m3 (S.D. = 0.0002). The community exhibited Hazard Quotient (HQ)values that were considered acceptable, along with lower exposure levels. However, theresidents in the surrounding areas of the stone mill may be exposed to dust from a varietyof sources, including transportation, construction, and the burning of agricultural material. The current study’s findings are anticipated to provide important information to improve the understanding of PM10exposure in populations living near stone milling plants.

Abstract

 Leprosy is an infectious disease and serious health problem that causes disability. According to the World Report on Disability from the World Health Organization (WHO), leprosy is one of the main causes of disability. It can be transmitted through inhalation or contact with patients, which allows it to spread easily and generally occurs in developing countries, including Indonesia. The number of leprosy cases in Indonesia also fluctuates every year, particularly in East Java Province. This study aimed to apply leprosy spatial modeling by evaluating the heterogeneity of data distribution in East Java Province. Using data from the health profile of the East Java Province, the study analyzed socioeconomic variables, access to health services, and the condition of the home environment. Spatial analysis using Moran’s Index and the Spatial Error Model was employed to obtain spatial distribution and modeling patterns. Variables such as Human Development Index, poverty, access to healthcenters, and the physical condition of the home environment spatially affect leprosy cases. Cross-sectoral collaboration is needed to address leprosy cases.

Abstract

 Hypercholesterolemia estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths and 29.7 million disability problems.The incidence of Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) such as coronary heart disease (CHD), type2 diabetes, and some types of cancer can be involved with hypercholesterolemiaed. Red dragonfruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel contains total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and dietary fiber.Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel, which was originally considered as trash can beused to produce yogurt. This study aimed to analyse the effect of red dragon fruit (Hylocereuspolyrhizus) peel yogurt on levels of fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and microbial activity inhypercholesterolemic Wistar rats. This was an experimental- research with pre and post-test control group design. A total of 25 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups randomly. Hypercholesterolemic conditions in the Wistar rats were obtained from consuming solution consisted of 1% of cholesterol powder and 0.5% of cholic acid for 14 days. Each Wistar rats received 20 g/day standard feed. The grouping were Group 1 (negative control group); Group 2 (hypercholesterolemic group); Group 3 (1.8 ml/kg b.wt/day of dragon fruit peel yogurt); Group 4 (2.7 ml/kg b.wt/day of dragon fruit peel yogurt); Group 5 (3.6 ml/kg b.wt/day of dragon fruit peel yogurt). The intervention was performed for 28 days. Blood glucose levels and lipid profiles weremeasured before and after the intervention. Blood glucose, lipid profiles and microbial activity weremeasured using GOD-PAP, automatic biochemistry analyser and pour plate method respectively.Data were analysed using paired t test and one-way ANOVA. Blood glucose, TC, LDL-C, TGlevels were decreased, and the other side HDL-C was increased significantly in the Group dragonfruit peel. There was no difference in the total number of microbes in all groups. Dragon fruit peelyogurt is effective in improving glucose levels and lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic Wistar rats.

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) protection is the fundamental right of every worker and a legal component that should be implemented in the workplace, including the informal sector. Many informal sectors in Indonesia still have high potential hazards; including those related to the work environment, chemical substance management, inadequate knowledge of employers and workers, non-compliance with OSH standards, and suboptimal prevention of work-related accidents and illnesses. This study aims to analyze the OSH conditions in the informal sector and their influence on occupational accidents in various informal sectors in Indonesia. The study adopts an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional design, using purposive sampling technique. The selected informal sectors include paint workshops, batik, furniture and salons. An interesting finding from this research indicates that the variable influencing occupational accidents in the informal sector is chemical hazards, with a significance value <0.05, i.e., 0.035, and Exp (B) of 64.188, meaning that workplace chemical hazards affect the occurrence of occupational accidents 64.188 times more. Therefore, intensive supervision and guidance regarding the work environment, especially chemical substance management, must be continuously enhanced.

Abstract

 Background: “BCD” habits can help homosexual people and men who have sexwith men (MSM) prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)and safeguard their partners. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate how BCD behaviour affects the prevalence of STIs among Indonesian MSM.Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in 24 provinces in Indonesia fromApril to May 2023. The study population comprised MSM who had ever engaged insexual intercourse, either occasionally, once, or frequently, totaling 6,000 individuals. A sample of 3,515 participants was selected using the Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) method. Integrated Biological and Behavior Survey (STBP) 2018-2019data was utilized. The data was analyzed using multivariate analyses with STATA14 software. Results: after controlling for the variables of pieces of information exposure and vaginal intercourse, the following behaviors were found to have a significant influence of the occurrence of STIs among MSM (p-value:0.050; AOR:1,62with 95% CI:0.96-2.73), condom use (p-value:0.050; AOR:0.37 with 95% CI:0.14-1.00), no drug use (p-value:0.040; AOR:1,67 with 95% CI:1.02-2.75). Conclusion:promoting faithful behavior towards a steady partner, consistent condom use duringsexual activity, and refraining from injections and drug use can effectively reducethe transmission of STIs among MSM.
