Abstract

Introduction: Organizational success is influenced by the performance of each employee in it. Work stress experienced by the employees is one of the obstacles in improving the quality of the organization. Another research showed that employees of Manado City Health Office experienced 27.7% low stress and 72.3% moderate stress, which affected the work productivity of the employees. This research aims to see the relationship between gender and exercise habits on the stress experienced by the employees of Surabaya City Health Office. Method: This research is an observational type of research where the primary data were obtained from the responses of 32 employees of the Surabaya City Health Office. The data were collected by using a questionnaire based on the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 5 of 2018 concerning Occupational Health and Safety in the Work Environment. The primary data obtained were then analyzed using cross-tabulation in a data processing software. Result: This research shows that, with an alpha of 5% (0.005), the relationship between gender and work stress events has a significance value of 0.013, while the relationship between exercise habits and work stress events has a significance value of 0.006. Conclusion: This research shows that there is a significant relationship between gender and exercise habits on stress events in Surabaya City Health Office employees. Women employees experience a higher incidence of work stress than male employees. Furthermore, the habit of exercising can reduce stress events because exercising can stimulate endorphins which play a role in creating a sense of calm, reducing pain, and releasing tension

Abstract

Introduction:Laboratory is a means of improving the effectiveness of learning. The problem faced by laboratory staff in performing their work (analysis and experimentation) is fatigue caused by long work time with inappropriate sitting posture and position. The use of a wooden chair without a backrest and with a seat height that is too high or too low can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to provide a workstation design suggestion with attention to ergonomics to reduce complaints of musculoskeletal disorders. Method: This descriptive research used an observational method. The population in this research consisted of 31 female students of a feed laboratory user, and the sample consisted of 16 respondents at the SIKIA Laboratory. Data collection for this study was conducted from July to September 2022. The independent variable in this study was the dimension of the workstation, and the dependent variable was musculoskeletal complaints. Result: Anthropometric measurements on laboratory assistants of the SIKIA Laboratory showed that the average popliteal height was 53.25 cm. Assessment on musculoskeletal disorder complaints shows that most complaints are found on "Pain in the back” with a score of 36. A new chair and table design is proposed, where the width of the seat back is 39.75 cm. Conclusion: A new workstation design is proposed that focuses on ergonomics to reduce the complaints of musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract

Introduction: Noise is an unwelcome sound that disrupts workers. Noise is present in every workplace, including ship engine noise. Continuous noise exposure can result in health issues, including hearing loss. Noise can cause stress on traditional boat workers because being continuously exposed to noise causes an uncomfortable feeling in the work environment. This uncomfortable feeling can trigger stress on ferry boat workers. This study aims to determine the relationship between noise and work stress on ferry boat workers at the Pier of Kampung Baru Tengah, Balikpapan. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional research design with 44 respondents. The instruments used a Sound Level Meter to measure Noise Level and Dass 21 Questionnaire with an interview method to measure Job Stress. Results: As many as 35 respondents were exposed to noise caused by traditional boat engines, and more than 50% of workers did not experience work stress (normal). The results of this study indicated a relationship between noise and work stress in traditional boat workers. Conclusion: The direction of the association between noise and work stress was positive but low, meaning that, as noise levels rise, so does the risk of workplace stress.

Abstract

Introduction:A work accident is an unwanted event that can result in loss that occurs at work. Workplace attitude incompatibility leads to fatigue and a variety of complaints, all of which contribute to the occurrence of work-related accidents. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between work attitude and the risk of work accidents among speedboat crew members at SDF Port, Tarakan City. Methods: This research used quantitative analysis with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained through questionnaires and direct interviews. This research population is the speedboat crew at the Port of SDF Tarakan City; a total of 130 crew members were sampled using a non-probability sampling technique with the accidental sampling method. This study used the Chi-Square test to perform the statistical analyis. Results: As many as 64.6% of workers were involved in an accident, with the majority of them slipping. In contrast, 85 workers (65.4%) have the incorrect work attitude. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between work attitude and the risk of accidents among speedboat crews. The ship's management should make guidelines regarding working in a speedboat. Briefings before and after work are also one of the solutions for ensuring the crew members work according to predetermined standards.

Abstract

Introduction: Pesticides are chemicals used to eradicate pests such as insects that damage crops and agricultural products. Farmers often do not realize that the benefits of pesticides are important for agriculture but also have dangerous risks. If farmers are constantly exposed to pesticides this can cause neurological diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between exposure to pesticides and neurobehavioral disorders in farmers. Methods: The authors of this study conducted research using a systematic literature review on publications published in the last 5 years on two databases namely Google Scholar and Scopus using the keywords pesticides, neurobehavioral, and farmers. The literature review was conducted based on issues, methodology, similarities and further research proposals. The population was all farmers in Indonesia who work with pesticides on their crops. Results: Three of the four articles found reported that pesticide exposure and duration of action were associated with neurobehavioral events whereas one article did not state any association between these variables. Some neurobehavioral symptoms caused by pesticide exposure are dizziness, difficulty sleeping, and difficulty concentrating. Conclusion: The use of pesticide content must be balanced to minimize the risks caused by exposure. Farmers also have to get enough rest to restore the function of the cholinesterase enzyme in the blood. It can be concluded that exposure to pesticides is associated with neurobehavioral events in farmers.

Abstract

Introduction: The safety aspects of working on the sea which have not been properly implemented by fishermen have resulted in a high fatality rate in the fisheries sector. The dynamic conditions of the south coast sea waves in Jember Regency and the lack of understanding of safety by fishermen have caused several accidents which resulted in work fatalities. The research team viewed that the OSH problems faced by fishing communities need to be studied further. The purpose of this study was to examine the safety aspects of fishing vessels and describe the safety aspects of sailing based on individual characteristics. Method: This research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Respondents in this study were 260 small-scale fishermen and 24 boats. The research variables are the characteristics of the respondents and sailing safety aspects. Results: The safety aspects of fishermen are at an unsafe level with a tendency for unsafe behavior to be carried out by fishermen who have worked for more than 11 years with a working duration of more than 9 hours and most of them come from Puger Beach. Conclusion: The characteristics of Puger Beach, which has high waves with strong currents, cause many work accidents, so it needs support from the government to improve the work safety aspects of the fishermen by providing sailing safety training and appropriate PPE.
