Abstract

Introduction: In the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, psychosocial issues as part of health and safety have become a popular mental health issue, particularly among gold and copper miners. This situation has led some companies to fire their unskilled and unproductive workers to minimize the production costs. However, there is no specific regulation for the workers that could be a barrier of this unpredicted situation. This condition mostly becomes a negative stressor for the workers at the jobsite. At some point, it develops to a critical health and safety condition known as risky and unhealthy behavior that brings to fatality. The aim of this research is to analyze the psychosocial risk factors that adversely affect the psychology of copper and gold mining workers during the pandemic. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with COPSOQ III, used to identify factors contributing to workers’ psychology, while Dolan & Arsenault’s questionnaire was used to analyze stress symptoms, with a Cronbach α value of 0.83-0.84. Results: Multivariate tests were conducted on the variables of work experience, body mass index, marital status, emotional demands, vertical trust, and organizational justice. Significance values were obtained for the variables of work experience (0.590 body mass index (0.517), marital status (0.122), emotional demands (0.187), vertical trust (0.000), and organizational justice (0.119). Of the six variables, only vertical trusthad a significant value. Conclusion: Psychological risk factors on copper and gold mining workers during the pandemic are only influenced by a vertical trust.Keywords: COPSOQ III, leadership, pandemic, psychosocial, vertical trust

Abstract

Introduction: Study related to work stress is usually more focused on the industrial sector. Meanwhile, workers in other sectors such as the government organization also have the potential to feel stressed due to their job. During the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) pandemic, Health Office is one of the main stakeholders in handling and preventing COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic can cause work stress due to unachieved health programs and huge demands to develop programs related to this pandemic. This study analyzed the relationship between individual factors, work factors, and factors outside of work with level of work stress among Health Office employees. This study is expected to be able to analyze work stress and its determinant as early as possible. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study using the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale 42 (DASS-42) and NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Generic Job Stress Questionnaire instrument. This study was conducted at the Public Health Office Bogor Regency April 2021. This study used total sampling method on employees of the Public Health Office Bogor Regency with total sample collected of 135 respondents. Data analysis in this study was performed using multiple logistic regression. Results: 86.67% of respondents did not experience work stress, 5.93% of respondents had mild work stress, and 7.41% of respondents experienced moderate work stress. Moreover, workload (p = 0.0001) and social support (p = 0.011) had a significant relationship in increasing work stress. Conclusion: Workload was the most dominant variable affecting work stress in which workers who had high subjective workload were 33.63 times more stressful compared to workers who had the appropriate workload. Prevention of occupational stress can be done by adjusting workloads and building a good social environment between colleagues.Keywords: factors outside of work, health office, individual factors, work factors, work stress

Abstract

Introduction: Sociodemographic factor, awareness of the health effects and legislative law can lead to an increase in cessation of tobacco. Tobacco related knowledge and awareness are found to be better in people working in the health care sector as compared to the general population. The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of quitting rate amongst the health workers and perceived harmful effects on health, tobacco types and awareness of the anti -smoking legislation law in India among the health care workers working in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 306 hospital staff (196 housekeeping staff and 110 nursing orderlies) at a tertiary care hospital of Faridabad in 2018. Convenience sampling was conducted, and data were collected through pre tested semi structured questionnaires on sociodemographic details, awareness of ill effects of tobacco and intention to quit. Results: Among 133 current tobacco users, intention to quit smoking was present in only 96 respondents (72.18%). There was association between age, marital status and type of family with the intention to quit. 63 respondents (21%) were unaware that smoking causes lung cancer and 115 (38%) of the total respondents did not consider smokeless tobacco as a causal risk factor for cancer. A total of 180 respondents (58.8%) were not aware of anti-tobacco control laws in India. Moreover, it was found that health concern was commonest reason of intention to quit. Conclusions: Intention to quit tobacco among study participants was low, so there is need to look for knowledge gaps about harms of different types of products and anti-tobacco legislation. More comprehensive tobacco cessation services should also be prioritized in the heath sector.Keywords: awareness of ill effects, COTPA, India, intention to quit, tobacco

Introduction: The wood processing industry in Indonesia is experiencing very rapid development, so there are positive and negative impacts of this industry for the country. The positive impacts that occur such as increased economic growth while the negative impacts that occur include environmental pollution which directly impacts the health of workers. One of the bad effects experienced by workers working in the industrial sector is wood dust. Wood dust is an invisible object that can circulate through the air so that it can enter the body and cause disruption of lung function of workers. The purpose of this research to conduct research on the factors of lung physiology disorders caused by vulnerability to wood dust. Method: The method was used in this research is a literature review by reviewing 10 relevant articles. Results: The effects showed that the method used is the same, which is using cross sectional, and during the study the data collection tools used questionnaires with interviews. In line with the outcomes of the study, factors for pulmonary physiology are not only caused by dust levels that exceeded the threshold value (NAV), but there are several other factors, namely individual characteristics such as length of service, duration of exposure, smoking habits, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Moreover, several studies presented bivariate tests to find out the relationship between variables that are factors in the occurrence of pulmonary physiology. Conclusions: Of 10 studies most have performed a bivariate analysis, but just a few have analyzed all the factors causing pulmonary physiology. Keywords: literature review, pulmonary physiology, risk factor, wood dust

Abstract

Introduction: Noise is any unwanted sound in the work environment that comes from production machines that can cause various health problems. Noise can also cause an increase in blood pressure as a physiological reaction of the body. Apart from the noise factor, an increase in workers' blood pressure can also be triggered by several factors such as worker characteristics (worker’s nutritional status, work experience and work duration). The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is a relationship between noise and worker characteristics and blood pressure. Methods: The design of this study was cross-sectional with a descriptive observational method. The sample in this study was the total population of workers in the company's production area, as many as 42 respondents. Workers' blood pressure was measured before and after work, work environment noise was measured using sound level meter, and questionnaires were used to determine individual characteristics. Results: The increase in blood pressure before and after work occurred most in the unit with the highest noise intensity. The increase in blood pressure before and after work also occurred in the categories of the longest work period and the longest work duration in a day. Conclusion: There was a strong correlation between noise and systolic blood and a weak relationship with diastole. Nutritional status had a weak relationship with blood pressure. Period of work and blood pressure had a moderate relationship, and duration of work and blood pressure had a strong relationship. Keywords: blood pressure, individual characteristics, noise

Abstract

Introduction: In 2009, UNESCO declared Batik Indonesia as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This study examines the occupational health and safety hazards and risks that arise in a Batik company based on a case example of a Batik company in Surakarta, Indonesia. In Indonesia, Batik is categorized as traditional attire. Two kinds of Batik are produced - Batik tulis (traditionally handcrafted) and Batik printing, which uses specific printing tools. The UK Health Safety Executive (HSE) risk assessment framework is referred to in this study, which consists of: hazard identification, population exposure, risk evaluation, precaution development, recording findings, and regular appraisal of systems. Methods: Both observation and interviews (of workers) at the Batik company were utilized for this study as well as an independent risk assessment. Results: The findings highlighted physical, ergonomic, chemical, mechanical, and biological hazards, originating from the materials, tools, and working methods utilized in the batik production. Conclusion: Many of the issues highlighted by this study can be addressed via in-depth risk assessment, using the POPMAR model to frame the activities. This approach can create a positive pathway, leading to a continuous cycle of improvement which puts the workers’ health at the forefront of the business activities.Keywords: Batik, workers, hazard identification, HSE Model, risk management
