Abstract

The risk of chemical exposure in hospitals is a critical issue in the field of healthcare. Exposure to hazardous chemicals can have a negative impact on the health of healthcare workers operating in hospital environments. Hospitals utilize various chemicals, and exposure can occur through inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. This research, conducted in the year 2023, aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes of hospital employees regarding chemical hazards. The research employed a cross-sectional design with a total population sampling technique, with a sample size of 154 employees including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, radiologists, and support staff divided into three units: medical services, medical support, and management. Data analysis utilized bivariate analysis and the chi-square test for relationship testing. Multivariate analysis was also employed using logistic regression. The study's results reveal that 63% of the individuals are under 30 years of age, the majority are female (67.5%), 66.2% have less than 3 years of work experience, 62.3% work in medical service units, and 77.3% have an education level of a bachelor's degree or higher. Additionally, 52.6% of the employees are unmarried. A total of 76% of employees exhibit a positive attitude, and 89% possess good knowledge of chemical hazards. The study demonstrates a relationship between individual characteristics (age, gender, work experience, and unit) and the level of knowledge of chemical hazards among hospital employees. The multivariate analysis revealed that age and work unit are the influential variables. This research concludes that the majority of employees at the Dental and Oral Hospital possess good knowledge of chemical hazards and can recognize chemical hazard symbols in accordance with the GHS. Furthermore, most of them exhibit a positive attitude towards preventive measures and understanding of chemical hazards. The data analysis results indicate that there is a relationship between age, length of service, and work unit with the level of chemical hazard knowledge.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought an upsurge in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) usage, leading to emergent challenges in its post-use management, especially in urban centers like Jakarta. This study conducted a quantitative exploration, employing simple random sampling techniques, to investigate Jakarta citizens; perceptions of PPE waste management. Two significant factors, "Safe Management and Regulation" and "PPE Waste Handling," were identified as paramount in addressing the issue. Through cluster analysis, the population was segmented into three distinct clusters: "Regulatory-Driven Safety Respondents," "Operational PPE Focus Respondents," and "Minimal Management Respondents." The study also unveiled a notable influence of socioeconomic variables on PPE waste management attitudes, particularly occupancy and income. These findings give policymakers, urban planners, and researchers invaluable insights, emphasizing the need for a dual-focused approach encompassing regulatory and operational strategies tailored to specific demographic segments for optimal impact.

Cross-sectional study design with Chi-square test on bivariate analysis and logistic regression test on multivariate test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. Woman who had better knowledge about HIV/AIDS tended to use condoms more often and take HIV tests and had positive attitudes towards safe sex also positively correlated with better prevention behavior. Regression results also revealed that sociodemographic factors such as knowledge, age, latest education, economic status, and place of residence had a significant impact on HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. This suggests the need for a diverse approach in designing prevention education programs that suit the characteristics of housewives.

Abstract

Currently, it is easier for people to access information through various devices connected to internet technology. However, this raises various new concerns, one of which is the spread of false or inaccurate information. To overcome this, a more specific literacy approach is needed, namely digital health literacy. This study aims to determine the relationship between personal determinants of digital health literacy in bachelor program students at the University Indonesia. This study uses secondary data analysis with a cross-sectional design. Data was collected through a survey conducted by a research team from the Faculty of Public Health, University Indonesia, using the eHEALS instrument about digital health literacy. The analysis uses multiple linear regression with health literacy as the dependent variable and social determinants including gender, age, science groups, and pocket money as independent variables. The results showed that the level of digital health literacy in bachelor program students was in a good category (M=3.14; SD=0.501). The results of the unadjusted model regression test show that the variables age (ß=0.205; 95% CI = 0.015-0.396) and pocket money (ß=1.011; 95% CI = 0.140-1.882) are significantly related to digital health literacy, while the results of the adjusted regression test the model shows that no variable has a confounder effect. The conclusion of this study is that age and pocket money affect the level of digital health literacy in bachelor program students at the University Indonesia. Therefore, efforts are needed to develop health education programs that can reach students from various backgrounds.
