Abstract

Introduction: Noise is a health risk that cannot be avoided in production process. Noise has the potential to cause hearing loss for workers. The bad news, noise damage due to noise is permanent. Audiometric screening at shipyard company employees found 81.2% experienced Sensory-Neural Hearing Loss. 61.5% of employees experience deafness in both ears. The research objective was to find the cause of deafness at shipyard company. Methods: A Quantitative research with cross sectional approach in 64 subjects who worked in the ship repair production unit. The sample is chosen with a simple random technique according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Assessment was carried out using questionnaires, measurement, and direct observations. Result: The bad habit of wearing ear protectors on employees as a cause of deafness (p<.001, Coef .517**). Sound level measurement shows the activity of chipping, welding, cutting and outfitting with noise intensity more than the recommended threshold (85 dBA for 8 hour per day). Noisy sources were found such as blowers, compressors, grinders, cutting mach ines, ringlet machines, hammer blows on plates and generators. Conclusion: Hearing loss in shipyard company employees is a work-related disease caused by the poor culture of wearing ear protectors. The habits does not wear earplug/earmuff tools because its not comfortable in the ear when the appliance is used, the tools too small so its easily lost, forgetten to carry, and tool are not available.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the causes of disability among elderly is falling. The ability to predict the risk of falls among this group is important so that the appropriate treatment can be provided to reduce the risk. The objective of this study was to compare the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, & Injuries (STEADI) Initiative from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT) from the Johns Hopkins University. Methods: This study used the STEADI tool, JHFRAT, Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC), and The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The study areas were in community and elderly home in both public and private sectors and the samples were 427 after cleaning. Results: The results for the STEADI and JHFRAT tools were similar where the respondents at highest risk of falling among women (STEADI: 49%; JHFRAT: 3.4%), in Bandung area (63.5%; 5.4%), in private homes (63.3%; 4.4%), non-schools (54.6%; 6.2%), aged 80 or older (64.8%; 6.7%) and not working (48.9%;3.3%). The regression analysis indicated that there was a significant relationship between the risk factors for falls in the elderly determined by the JHFRAT and STEADI tools: namely, region, type of home, age, disease history, total GDS and ABC averages. Conclusion: Despite the similarity in the risk factors obtained through these assessments, there was a significant difference between the results for the STEADI tool and the JHFRAT. The test strength was 43%. However, STEADI is more sensitive to detect fall risk smong elderly than JHFRATKeywords: Activities-Specific Balance Confidence scale, elderly, fall risk,The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool, the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, & Injuries

Abstract

Introduction: Based on the survey data in one of the PLTUs in East Java from January-November 2019, there were 9.134 findings of non-compliance with PPE. In addition, based on the audit data from October to November 2019, there were 125 findings of non-compliance with the use of PPE. The factors causing this non-compliance could be seen from the characteristics of the workers or could be based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) approach through 6 constructs. Based on these data, this article aimsto analyze a model of factors that have a direct and indirect effect on the use of PPE on PLTU contractor workers in East Java. The researchers used the Health Belief Model approach because the use of PPE for workers is an effort related to healthy behavior in the workplace. Methods: This research was a quantitative research. The total sample was 100 workers from a population of 400 contractors workers, based on the Slovin methodand as a fulfillment of the path analysis requirement. The analyses of direct and indirect effects between variables used a path analysis method. Results: The results of data processing showa direct effect of perceived benefits (t=4,837), cues to action (t=5,990), perceived severity (t=2,131), knowledge (t=3,183), and perceived susceptibility (t=2,212) on the use of PPE, while education iis known to have an indirect effect on the use of PPE through knowledge (t=2,222). Conclusion: Perceived benefits, cues to action, perceived severity, knowledge, and perceived susceptibility have a direct effect on the use of PPE. However, education has an indirect effect on the use of PPE through knowledge.Keywords: health belief model, occupational diseases, path analysis, personal protective equipment
