Abstract

Introduction: The assessment of dermal exposure is a complex task. The most commonly used methods have fundamental problems, and there are large gaps in the documentation and validation of the known assessment methods. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of self-reported skin problems in laboratory technicians. Additionally, to determine if there is an association between self-reported skin problems and work tasks and other exposure-related parameters, we developed a simple qualitative questionnaire that may be used for conducting qualitative dermal exposure assessments. Methods: A well-structured survey questionnaire was developed and 45 laboratory technicians were interviewed while conducting qualitative dermal exposure assessments in three selected laboratories. The sampling technique was a qualitative survey conducted through interviews. The examined variables included skin problems, work characteristics, and chemicals used. Results: This study indicated that 18% of technicians reported having skin problems, most notably inexperienced technicians or technicians with more than 6 years of experience. Skin problems were also identified in technicians who worked between one and eight hours, performed manual operations, and handled solvents. The prevalence of skin problems has also been associated with changing gloves. However, no significant differences were observed between the examined parameters and skin problems (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of self-reported skin problems (18%) among laboratory technicians was not high. The prevalence of dry skin was low (11%). A well-structured questionnaire can be used to conduct a qualitative dermal risk assessment. As this was a cross-sectional study with a small sample size, it was not possible to establish a causative effect between exposure to workplace hazards and dermal problems.

Abstract

Introduction: Workers in the Indonesian steel manufacturing industry are subject to many heat stress risk factors, ranging from the equatorial climate to physically demanding work tasks which may result in heat- related illnesses and reduced worker productivity. Hence, a study was conducted at Steel Mill X to assess the level of heat stress among its workers, determine the association of related factors and to provide meaningful recommendations. Methods: This study uses a descriptive cross-sectional method to assess workers' heat risk level and its association with individual, occupational and heat stress symptoms. An online questionnaire was used to collect primary data yet WBGT monitoring data were provided by Steel Mill X as secondary data. Results: The heat stress risk level score ranged from 48 to 140 (M=89.8, SD=±31.0). 122 workers were in the very high-risk category (75.8%). Occupational factors which had a statistically significant association with heat stress risk category includes: work area, length of exposure, air movement, hot surfaces, confined space, clothing factors and WBGT; while heat stress-related symptoms which were associated include headache, fatigue, profuse sweating, extreme thirst and increased body temperature. The absence of significant association between individual factors and heat stress risk category eliminates it as a confounding factor, suggesting occupational factors was the main variable. Conclusion: Control measures such as improving the supply of drinking water and maintenance of cooling systems should be implemented as soon as possible to prevent heat stress among workers.

Abstract

Introduction: Previous study was carried out in a company, obtaining the prevalence of metabolic syndrome cases by 21.58% with non-communicable diseases as the indicator. The cause of the metabolic syndrome is critical to understand in order to reduce the impact of acute non-communicable diseases. Excessive food consumption and low physical activity in office workers and coal mining workers are two risk factors that contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, current research was conducted aiming to identify the lifestyle aspects related to metabolic syndrome in coal mining companies in South Kalimantan. Methods: This study was carried out through analytical observational cross-sectional research. In this case, the data were collected using questionnaires. Exercise routines, cigarette smoking, and meal frequency were the research factors. In South Kalimantan, there are up to 70 employees of mining company, and 22 people of them were selected as the research subjects through purposive random sampling and inclusion criteria. Results: The indicators of metabolic syndrome in most of the respondents showed normal state. However, a small number of respondents were at risk of having the indicators of metabolic syndrome. Meanwhile, based on the statistical analysis, there is a lifestyle factor that correlates with the frequency of eating coconut milk-based chicken curry (1-2 times/week) with metabolic syndrome (p=0.045). Conclusion: Types of food cooked using coconut milk can trigger a person to have a risk of experiencing one or several of the metabolic syndrome indicators. Things that can be done to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome associated with the frequency of habit of eating high-fat animal side dishes, including reducing the frequency of such food at night.

Abstract

Introduction: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) is essential to be applied by the community, especially workers who work in the fields of construction, furniture, and others. Workers sometimes do not pay attention to CHLB, so many diseases and even deaths occur due to a lack of awareness of the importance of CHLB. This study analyzes the factors influencing CHLB in the workplaceon informal wood furniture workers at the Occupational Health Effort (OHE) posts. Methods: This type of research is quantitative with an analytical observational approach. The population was all members of the OHE posts in the Kendit Health Center working area in the Situbondo Regency, totaling 40 people. Results: The results that significantly affected workers' attitudes towards CHLB at work on informal wooden furniture workers were knowledge, attitude, infrastructure, workforce and funding. The attitudes about CHLB can also be the basis (foundation) of changes in CHLB behavior in the workplace on informal workers. The results of the observations showed that there were still many workers who smoked and did not wear PPE at work even though these workers had already known that cigarettes contain chemicals that are harmful to health. The adequate facilities and infrastructure at the OHE posts could improve the behavior of CHLB in the workplace. The findings at OHE posts at the Kendit's working area related to funding showed that all members of OHE posts have agreed on a monthly health fund contribution, but this is still not going well. Conclusion: Therewas an influence of attitude and adequate infrastructure at OHE posts on CHLB in the workplace. However, knowledge, workforce, and funding at OHE posts did not have significant effect on CHLB in the workplace.

Abstract

Introduction: An early warning system (EWS) is a tool to rapidly identify patient deterioration and prevent adverse events. However, the implementation and documentation have not been carried out optimally. This study aims to analyze factors related to the implementation of EWS documentation in a psychiatric hospital in Malang. Methods: The study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study population was all nurses in the intensive care unit of the hospital, with a total sample of 60 respondents selected using a proportional random sampling technique. Data collection used demographic data questionnaires, workload questionnaires, and observation sheets for the implementation of EWS documentation of patients through the hospital management information system. Analysis of the data used the chi-square test. Results: Implementation of EWS documentation was significantly related to workload and EWS training (p<0.05). Implementation of EWS documentation was not related to age, gender, education level, years of service, employment status, and work shift (p>0.05). Conclusion: Nurses with light workloads and who had attended EWS training created good documentation successfully (100%). Hospitals need to review their management in planning, developing, and fostering nursing resources, especially the provision of continuous training accompanied by equitable EWS monitoring for nurses in psychiatric hospitals.

Abstract

Introduction: The return to work of all workers suffering from occupational diseases and work-related injuries is regulated by the Indonesian government. This does not apply to employees with nonwork-related chronic illnesses. Workers with chronic illnesses often encounter many obstacles when returning to work, greatly affecting their intention to return to work. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the factors that could affect work readiness among patients with chronic diseases and business owners. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The study population included all patients with chronic disease in Indonesia. The research sample used a simple random sampling technique, comprising 332 people. Data were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression tests. Results: There was an effect of 17.1% between age, gender, marital status, years of service, and employment status on the return to work readiness of patients with chronic diseases. The type of company and the presence of employees with chronic diseases in the company can affect the return to work readiness of business owners by 25.4%. Conclusion: Based on this finding, special support from different sectors such as governments, non-governmental organizations, and awareness raising by businesses for people with chronic diseases is needed so that they can return to work. It's ready.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to examine the impact of implementing the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) culture on employee performance, focusing on knowledge, workload, and work environment aspects at PT Bahana Prima Nusantara. Method: This study uses a qualitative method that seeks to examine the implementation of OSH culture to employee performance. This research was conducted in natural situations so that there were no limitations in understanding the research being studied. The number of informants is 5 people. Data collection is done through interviews, observation, and documentation. Result: Workers know about all the risks that may occur, but in the absence of sanctions from the company, workers do not adhere to the OSH culture. The workload in this company greatly affects the performance of its employees because they feel uncomfortable if they have to apply the OSH culture. Several workers are placed not according to their abilities. Meanwhile, the work environment at this location also greatly influences the performance of employees, because most of the workers are natives, so supervisors feel reluctant to reprimand workers if they do not apply the OSH culture. Conclusion: Based on the findings, workers are aware of the risks but feel uncomfortable applying the OSH culture. Therefore, it is recommended that the company implement stricter rules and issue warnings or sanctions for non-compliance. Additionally, conducting regular OSH training and safety talks can enhance employee adherence to the OSH culture.

Abstract

Introduction: The delivery of health services at mother and child hospitals involves the midwife's role. Midwives are more responsible for providing patient care when faced with high Bed Occupation Rate (BOR) situations and emergency cases. However, several factors can affect midwives' turnover rates in hospitals. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between individual factors (age, marital status, education level, years of service, and employment status), work factors (workload, work environment, and work stress), and financial compensation on job satisfaction and intention to leave midwives as well as recommendations for reducing turnover rates. Methods: This study was conducted at the Trisna Medika Women and Children Hospital, Tulungagung, Indonesia, in April 2022. The questionnaires were distributed to 65 respondents. The research results were analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS)Structural Equation Model (SEM) method. Results: Individual factors had no significant effect on job satisfaction or intention to leave. The variables that directly affect the intention to leave (medium) are workload, financial compensation (strong), and job satisfaction (medium). Job satisfaction is directly affected (moderately) by financial compensation and work stress. The indirect effect shows a significant relationship between job stress and job satisfaction in the work environment. Conclusion: The direct effect of financial compensation on intention to leave was stronger than the effect of financial compensation on job satisfaction.

Abstract

Introduction: Workers in the battery industry are at risk of being exposed to cadmium (Cd), which can cause various health problems, including kidney disorders. This study aims to investigate the association between biomarkers of Cd exposure and effect with kidney disorders among workers in the battery industry. Methods: A systematic review approach was used in this study, employing relevant keywords and inclusion criteria to search electronic databases, such as Google scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Research Gate. The selected articles included research articles published between 2010 and 2020, with cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control study designs. To ensure the quality of the articles reviewed, the Critical Appraisal Skill Programme (CASP) was used. Results: The CASP tools facilitated the exploration of trustworthy and relevant articles for the literature review. Previous studies revealed that individuals of various ages, ranging from teenagers to adults aged 12-60, both males and females, are commonly employed in the battery industry. Cadmium was detected in the hair, urine, and blood samples of these workers. Previous studies also identified kidney disorders among these workers by analyzing biomarkers such as creatinine, retinol-binding protein, blood urea nitrogen, and hemoglobin, which were all found to be above the normal range. Furthermore, increased Cd levels in the blood of workers caused glomerular disorder and tubular dysfunction, eventually resulting in kidney function disorders. Conclusion: Cd levels in the bodies of workers in the battery industry serves as a reliable biomarker of Cd exposure, and are closely related to the number of effect biomarkers that can contribute to kidney disorders. This study emphasizes the importance of monitoring Cd exposure levels among workers in the battery industry.

Abstract

Introduction: The effects of prolonged and excessive noise exposure on healthcare workers have not been studied. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of hearing loss among such workers and correlate the degree of hearing loss with age, duration of exposure, and coexisting illnesses. Methods: A retrospective review of 117 clinical records was conducted on 179 employees working in areas of excessive noise in a tertiary care hospital. Correlations between categorical variables were made using the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, while an independent samples t-test was used to compare means for continuous variables. Binary logistic regression was used to quantify the strength of correlations through an odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Results: A clinical evaluation was conducted to assess hearing loss on employees from various departments, including Boiler Section, Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD), Laundry, Prosthetics and Orthotics Laboratory, and Dietary. The median age of the participants was 37 years. Out of the 116 participants who underwent by audiological tests, 63.8% had sensorineural hearing loss and 68.5% had absent otoacoustic emissions in at least one frequency. The incidence of hearing loss was found to increase with age (p = 0.037). A significant correlation was noted between hearing loss and the duration of noise exposure of more than 10 years (p = 0.0013). Considering all areas together, a significantly higher proportion of employees with hearing loss was observer (p = 0.044), with 69.5% in the CSSD. Conclusion: Noise-induced hearing loss is a prevalent occupational health hazard in healthcare settings. The risk of developing hearing loss increases with the duration of work in a noise-generating area.
