Abstract

Intorduction: Low Back Pain is a musculoskeletal disorder and not a disease. Among healthcare workers (HCw), this is the disorder they experience most often, and knowledge about the prevalence of of low back pain (LBP) and its risk factors among healthcare workers is important to determine appropriate training for them The purpose of this study was to identify the magnitude of low back pain (LBP) problems in HCw as well as to determine which risk factors are determinants. Method: This study used a systematic review via meta-analysis guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Results: Through a search of 13 articles from several countries in Asia, which analyzed 5753 respondents (1080 or 18.8% were males and 4673 or 81.2% were females), the average prevalence of LBP was 58.1%. This value was calculated without estimating the time span of its occurrence. If this range was calculated, of the 11 articles that calculated the lifetime incidence of LBP, the average was 60%. The risk factors were manual patient removal, heavy object lifting, sex, age, stress, type of work, workplace environment, and work duration. Conclusion: This study found a high prevalence, and there are still many risk factors for LBP that require special attention. Healthcare workers are advised to pay attention to ergonomics and working behavior, while hospital leaders are advised to conduct training on the risk factors of LBP.

Abstract

Introduction: Informal construction (IC) involves people working in construction without a license or not under any kind of regulation. Due to its informality, the IC sector suffers from health and safety risk (HSR) handling strategies (HST). This study explored and ranked the HSR HSTs by masonry workers (MWs) in informal construction sites (ICS) in Tanzania. Methods: A total of 10 HSR HSTs were explored from 8 semi-structured interviews, and then, additional data were collected from 304 responses of MWs in ICS through a questionnaire that was formulated from the findings of the interviews. The study employed a sequential exploratory mixed methods approach whereby for qualitative data, direct content analysis was employed followed by quantitative data where descriptive and inferential statistics (one-sample t-tests) were used for analysis. Results: The results show that ‘considering past experience', ‘sitting together and discussing on HSRs', and ‘supervisor's directives' are the most significant ranked HSTs by workers in ICS. In contrast, ‘encouraging other artisans to work together', ‘selling or sub-contracting the work to other artisans', and ‘refusing to take high-risk work so as to avoid a risk' are the least-ranked HSTs. Conclusion: The explored health and safety risk-handling strategies in IC workplaces highlight the need for a health and safety framework in the IC sector using a bottom-up approach. This would help policymakers and practitioners achieve sustainable development goals number three and eight, which promote good health and safety for all, sustainable economic growth, and full and productive employment and decent work for all.

Abstract

Introduction: An unnatural working attitude causing the body to deviate from its default posture is one of the contributing factors to the low back pain (LBP) experienced by workers. For instance, areca peeling workers often adopt a posture of sitting hunched over for extended periods. Therefore, this research aimed to identify factors related to a history of LBP among areca peeling workers in Dataran Pinang Village, Kuala Betara District, West Tanjung Jabung Regency. Methods: Using a sample size of 66 respondents, this quantitative research adopted a cross-sectional design and a simple random sampling method. The instruments used included questionnaires, observation, and documentation, and the data were analyzed both univariately and bivariately, with chi-square analysis as the statistical test. Results: The statistical analysis showed no correlation between work time, work duration, repetition, and LBP. However, there was a correlation between LBP and work attitude (0.051<0.05) in areca peeling workers. Conclusion: A relationship exists between work attitude of areca peeling workers and the occurrence of LBP. Therefore, it is advisable for workers who experienced complaints of LBP to perform tasks correctly. This approach would reduce the number of repetitive activities (repetitions) conducted.

Abstract

Introduction: Fear of getting COVID-19 has led to an upsurge in mental health problems, particularly among those who deal directly with others, such as cabin crew. A regulation has been established requiring travelers to attach the results of a COVID-19 test to prevent the transmission of the virus during flight. While the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continued to rise, the regulations were subsequently repealed in early 2022. The marital status of an individual is one factor that can influence the level of anxiety. Studies regarding the correlation between marital status and anxiety levels of cabin crew during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia are still lacking. This study aims to determine the correlation between marital status and anxiety levels of Indonesian cabin crews in 2022. Methods: In November 2022, a cross-sectional offline survey was conducted using a written questionnaire. Using consecutive sampling with inclusion and exclusion criteria, a final sample of 79 was analyzed. The independent variable is classified as either married or unmarried based on Indonesia Law Act No. 1 of 1974. Anxiety levels, the dependent variable, were collected using a Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire and a personal data questionnaire. Results: A correlation was observed between the marital status of Indonesian cabin attendants in 2022 and their anxiety levels (p=0.025), according to the findings. Conclusion: Increased anxiety levels about cabin personnel's marital status are driven by the worry of catching COVID-19, which will result in feelings of loneliness, particularly for cabin crew with unmarried marital status

Abstract

Introduction: Manual handling activities are a main causative factor of low back pain injuries. Around 1.71 billion people worldwide live with musculoskeletal conditions, including low back pain. In the Southeast Asia region, it is estimated that around 369 million people experience low back pain. In Indonesia more than 11.9% of health workers are diagnosed with musculoskeletal disease and diagnostic specific for worker obtained 24.7%. The purpose of this study was to determine the dominant indicators of manual handling for low back pain. Method: Study design used is cross-sectional study. Sample was 62 subjects. The variables of low back pain were collected using a modified questionnaire adopted from the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire. Data were analyzed with linear regression test for the main indicators contributing to low back pain. Result: Average age of workers is 26.06±7.28, education level senior high school 45%, under 4 years length of work 83.9%. Average manual handling variable is 613.45 ± 383.39, low back pain 6.48 ± 3.607. Manual handling is not significantly related to low back pain r = -0.182. Duration, frequency and load are significant in predicting low back pain. The factors of duration, frequency and lift were estimated to contribute 5.4% for low back pain. Conclusion: The main factors related to low back pain are lifting load for workers, while the factors of lifting duration and frequency are not significantly related to low back pain. The lifting load is the main factor contributing to low back pain.

Abstract

Introduction: All chemical industries in Indonesia have a potential hazards that can cause work accidents, occupational diseases, and work-related diseases. In this case, one of the protective measures that can be carried out on occupational health and safety in the PA Plant area as a chemical industry is the obligation to use PPE for the workers. Related to this matter, current project was done to assess how workers' compliance to the usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) related to knowledge, attitudes, and individual characteristics (age and educational attainment). Methods: The methodology applied to this study was analytical observational using a cross-sectional approach, where 37 workers were involved as research samples. In addition, a questionnaire and a compliance checklist for the usage of PPE were used to gather the data, and Spearman's Rho test was used to evaluate it. Results: The findings indicate that most employees are in the early adulthood group, graduated from a secondary school level, have excellent attitudes toward using personal protective equipment, have good understanding, and have good compliance with the use of PPE. It was further revealed that the PPE usage compliance does not in accordance with a person's age or level of knowledge. However, there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes and compliance with the usage of PPE. Conclusion: Based on the findings discovered, it is summed up that although a good level of knowledge and attitude toward the use of PPE will make employees comply with the use of PPE, a worker's degree of education does not ensure their level of compliance with the use of PPE.

Abstract

Introduction: The findings of a systematic review indicate that only a quantitative or qualitative approach was used in studies about the anxiety of health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research that aims to examine the level of anxiety experienced by Indonesian health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the signs and their causes will fill the scientific gap. Methods: A sequential explanatory design was used in this study. In the quantitative phase, the COVID-19 Anxiety Scale instrument was used to perform a survey on 731 healthcare workers, which was then descriptively examined. To further support its findings, 30 informants were involved to in-depth interviews, and qualitative content analysis was performed. Results: According to the poll, 15% of healthcare workers reported having high anxiety, 61% had moderate, 19% had low, and 5% had no anxiety at all. According to a qualitative content analysis, the signs of anxiety included overthinking, psychosomatic complaints, and worry about exposed to and transmit the virus at work. This is a result of managerial issues with managing pandemic, social changes, adjustments in interpersonal connection patterns, an unfriendly society, a large number of health workers who suffer with COVID-19, as well as personal variables. Conclusion: Preventive action for future health crisis situations is to improve systemic physical and non-physical preparedness in healthcare institutions. Psychosocial training programs such as cognitive coping and stress adaptation need to be carried out to improve the mental health condition of health workers so they don't ‘collapse' when dealing crisis situations.
