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

 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

Smoking is a public health concern in Indonesia. A challenge facing Indonesian healthcare system is that the use rate of in-person smoking cessation counseling is low due to smokers’ concerns about their privacy. This challenge has limited the ability of Indonesian health researchers and policy makers to develop and implement evidence-based practices to prevent smoking. The development of digital technologies in Indonesia has offered various opportunities to address this issue. Mobile devices are ubiquitous in Indonesia and have the potential to deliver counseling services for smokers. This study was part of the Mobile Application System for Smoking Cessation program and aimed to investigate the culturally-tailored features of mobile apps to prevent smoking in Indonesia. Data were collected through structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) among Indonesian policy makers and experts from universities and NGOs. We also reviewed relevant documents recommended by participants. We found that to develop a culturally-tailored mobile app for smoking cessation in Indonesia, it is important to understand smokers’ characteristics, smoking status, smoking behavior, and level of motivation to quitting smoking. We also found that following the World Health Organization’s 5A (Ask, Assess, Advise, Assist, Arrange) and 5R (Relevance, Risk, Reward, Roadblocks, Repetition) strategies is a key to improve the feasibility and acceptability of a smoking-cessation mobile app. App-based interventions need to be integrated with the practices performed by counselors and health workers and should be easily accessed by smokers.

Abstract

 The importance of family has increased with the adoption of the community-based approach in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia and returning them to their social environments. Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness, that affects not only the individual but also the family’s life because 10% of suffered individuals with illness need such long-term care and needed support from their families. This study aims to examine the relationship between burnout and violent tendencies among caregivers of schizophrenia patients. The study was a correlational and cross-sectional survey and followedquantitative methodology. The population consisted of 60 caregivers who took primary responsibility and spent the most time with patients diagnosed with “schizophrenia” according to DSM-V-TR diagnostic criteria, who were registered in a health center. In line with the purpose of the research, data collection tools are the Personal Information Form, Maslach Burnout Scale, and Violence Tendency Scale. The study found that there was a positive significant relationship between burnout and violence tendency among caregivers (r=0.539; p=0.000<0.05). In other words, burnout of caregivers increases violence tendency. In addition, the sub-dimensions of burnout significantly affected thepropensity to violence (F=8,657; p=0.000<0.05). The severity of illness in schizophrenia patients impairs their caregivers’ mental health. Families caring for persons with schizophrenia have difficulty tolerating them if the families have a feeling of burnout. Dissemination of psychosocial practices among caregivers of schizophrenia patients in adjunct to treatment will help families reduce their level of burnout and depression.
