Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia's growing transportation demands have increased reliance on bus services across Central Java Province. Despite their importance, driver health remains understudied, even as driver factors account for 65% of public transportation accidents. This study investigates differences in health characteristics among bus drivers across three distinct routes: Trans Jateng, BRT Semarang City, and Inter-City Bus Transportation Services Between Semarang-Surakarta. Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional study conducted in Semarang City and Surakarta City examined 210 bus drivers between January 2023-August 2024 using interviews, questionnaires and stature meters. Variables included age, sleep duration, fatigue levels (using the Industrial Fatigue Research Committee questionnaire), and Body Mass Index. Analysis employed Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by Mann-Whitney post-hoc tests with Bonferroni correction. Results: Analysis revealed significant differences across all variables (p<0.001). Trans Jateng drivers (mean age 43.1 years) demonstrated optimal sleep (7.0 hours), low fatigue levels (88.6%), and healthier BMI profiles (74.3% normal). BRT Semarang City drivers (mean age 44.2 years) showed paradoxical characteristics with longest sleep duration (9.5 hours) yet highest fatigue levels (80% very high) and poor BMI profiles (84.3% overweight/obese). Inter-City drivers, despite being older (mean age 51.4 years) with shortest sleep duration (5.4 hours), showed moderate fatigue adaptation (92.9%) and similar BMI concerns (84.2% overweight/obese). Conclusion: Significant differences (p<0.001) exist among three public transport driver groups. Trans Jateng showed the best health profile, BRT Semarang City paradoxical with long sleep yet high fatigue, and Inter-City adaptive despite insufficient sleep. Sleep duration does not correlate with fatigue levels. Group-specific health interventions are needed.

Abstract

Introduction: Coal mining operations present serious risks due to landslip risks, necessitating the use of efficient early warning systems and emergency preparation. This paper examines the use of an early warning system called LASER (Land Sliding Alert) in comparison to direct direction from the supervisor using conventional radio at the KPC Sangatta mining operation of PT. Pamapersada Nusantara. The study aims to evaluate how the system affects workers' response to approaching landslides as well as their degree of preparedness. Method: The researchers collected 12 data over 3 months from the emergency drill and continue with observations, interviews and document review. Substantive data including risk management screening, landsliding warning accuracy and response were assessed so response time from worker can be gathered. Result: The results displayed a better performance in the LASER early warning system than conventional land sliding alert, achieving 100% reactivity and increased pace of evacuation. The system uses Internet of Things (IoT) to ensure immediate notification for all buildings at the same time using sirens and radio equipment that leads to faster reaction. The LASER system is 96% effective at warning employees in the statistical research. Conclusion: The research demonstrates that the LASER-based early warning system is extremely efficient in monitoring dangerous slope conditions in mining areas. It effectively addresses the issue of response time and ensures that personnel are well-prepared to respond promptly and effectively. The study emphasises the significance of employing sophisticated monitoring systems and resilient emergency protocols to mitigate the hazards associated with landslides. The application of the landsliding alert can be implemented in other mining areas, especially in open pit mining activities and make contributions ultimately result in a workforce that is safer and mining operations that are more sustainable.

Abstract

Introduction: Helminthiasis remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, negatively impacting nutrition and cognitive development, particularly among individuals who are in direct contact with soil. To mitigate this issue, improving personal hygiene and awareness of infection prevention is essential. This study aims to examine the correlation between sociodemographic factors and personal hygiene with blood profiles among workers in agrarian areas. Methods: A cross-sectional approach was used, with 144 samples collected through purposive sampling in the agrarian area of Malang Regency. Data were gathered using questionnaires covering sociodemographic factors and personal hygiene, as well as through hematology tests results obtained from blood samples taken from respondents, which were tested at the dr. Saiful Anwar Malang General Hospital. For data analysis, the Chi-square test was utilized for bivariate analysis, while logistic regression was employed for multivariate analysis. Results: The mean age of respondents was 48.1 ± 14.1 years, with a majority having attained only an elementary education (51.4%) and primarily working as farmers (66.7%). Approximately 38.2% of respondents demonstrated poor personal hygiene. Significant associations were found between personal hygiene and hemoglobin levels (p=0.031), as well as eosinophil counts (p=0.007). Multivariate analysis showed that respondents who did not wash their hands before eating had 1.8 times higher odds of having abnormal blood profiles compared to those who practiced handwashing. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that sociodemographic factors and personal hygiene are associated with the quality of blood profile among respondents. Enhanced education is needed to raise community awareness regarding personal hygiene.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the government hospitals in South Sulawesi is facing various challenges related to nurses' working conditions, such as work stress. Preliminary data show that high work pressure, the nursing shift system, and the ratio of nurses to patients contribute to this condition and are predicted as risk factors that can affect the quality of work life for nurses. Methods: This study aim is to examine how organizational and job-related factors affect hospital nurses' work stress at regional hospital. Using a cross-sectional methodology, this study included 167 nurses out of 287 who were chosen by accident sampling. Questionnaires, observations, and interviews were used to gather data, which were then subjected to linear regression analysis (95% CI; α=0.05). Results: The results of this study indicate that work stress is significantly influenced by the job factor (p=0.000; β=0.415) and organizational factor (p=0.011; β= -0.229). Emotional demands are the most influential component of job factors on the emergence of stress. Conclusion: High job demands, especially emotional burden, significantly increase nurses' work stress, whereas good organizational support can reduce it. These findings indicate the importance of reducing emotional burden and increasing institutional support through mental resilience training, structured debriefing sessions, peer support systems, and psychological counseling services. The results of this study can also be used as a basis for policy making by hospital leaders to be more supportive of nurses' mental well-being and the sustainability of health service quality.

Abstract

Introduction: Stress is related to the individual's psychological, physiological, and behavioral response to stressors. Many social and demographic determinants are probable causative factors of stress through a complex path. In Jakarta Province, a significant number of workers commute from surrounding cities, potentially exacerbating stress due to long travel times, job demands, and other related factors. This study aimed to determine social and demographic factors contributing to stress among workers in Jakarta Province. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between October and December 2023 among 200 workers aged 15–65 years. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire via Google Form, distributed through snowball sampling on social media. The survey included the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Social Capital Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Social Network Index (SNI). A backward stepwise linear regression was performed to identify significant predictors of stress. Results: This study found that the mean stress score among workers was 19.39, which indicated a moderate stress level. The model showed social support (ß=-0.13), social capital (ß=-0.90), age (ß=-0.07), income (ß=0.00), distance (ß=0.19) as predictors of stress among workers and also obtained an R-Square value 50.4%. Conclusion: Social support, social capital, age, income, and commuting distance significantly influence workers' stress levels in Jakarta Province. Enhancing workplace social support systems and promoting stronger social networks may help mitigate stress. Employers and policymakers should consider interventions such as flexible work arrangements and peer support programs to improve employee well-being

Abstract

Introduction: Occupational health and safety are important for professionals managing an organization’s workplace accident insurance efforts because their work influences productivity. Therefore, this study will compare the associated health and burnout related to work in case managers and administrators. Methods: A longitudinal design was adopted. This study used year-over-year surveys of 158 employee professionals with 79 case managers and 79 administrators over a two-year time frame. They measured occupational health with the questionnaires Work Ability Index (WAI) and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Occupational health was subsequently studied using linear regression and mixed-effects models. Results: Case managers tend to have higher work ability (mean WAI score: 45.08), but they suffer from more personal burnout (mean PB score: 33.0), presumably because they work directly with injured workers. In contrast, administrators are experiencing lower but more stable levels in their work ability (mean WAI score: 37.78) and with higher levels of client-related burnout (mean CRB score: 53.0). Further, work ability deteriorates as age increases, especially among case managers, and is negatively associated with high BMI, low sleep and long sick leave. Employees with a BMI > 30 had 12% lower WAI scores (p<0.01), and those sleeping < 6 hours per night had 15% lower work ability index. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to alleviate occupational burnout and improve work ability, particularly through occupation-specific workplace interventions. The study also suggests that implementing stress management programs, health promotion initiatives, and workflow optimizations may improve occupational health outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: In Indonesia, over 1000 healthcare workers have died due to COVID-19. Healthcare workers face increased workloads and negative perceptions, including discrimination and verbal or physical violence, which may impact their quality of life. Health-related quality of life encompasses both physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) health components. This study aims to analyze the health-related quality of life of healthcare workers who are obliged to service during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia and occupational health and safety factors based on the workplace location risk zone. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted involving 149 healthcare workers from several areas of Indonesia as representatives from the red and orange risk zones. Health-related quality of life was measured using the SF-36 questionnaire. Differences in health-related quality of life scores were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test base on COVID-19 risk Zone and PPE availability. Results: Healthcare workers in the lower-risk (orange zone) exhibited better mental health scores (MCS 75±15.5) compared to those in the high-risk zone (red zone) (MCS 66.2±15.2). Additionally, those who received a complete set of PPE from their workplace had better health-related quality of life scores workplace (MCS 76.9±14.2, PCS 77±16) than those who lacked such provision (MCS 73±17.6, PCS 82±13.4). Furthermore, healthcare workers with access to PCR testing at their workplace tended to have higher quality of life scores than those who only had access to rapid testing. Conclusion: These findings highlight how the Health System addresses the pandemic, particularly regarding the health and safety of healthcare workers

Abstract

Introduction: The safety of educational institutions, especially at boarding schools, remains an underexplored area in safety management research. This scoping review aims to identify key dimensions of safety practices in educational institutions to provide a foundational framework for adapting safety assessments to boarding schools. Methods: Through the JBI’s Framework, a comprehensive search of six databases (PubMed, CORE, DOAJ, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and SAGE Journals) yielded 240 articles. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 articles were included in the final analysis. Results: Content analysis of these articles revealed four main categories of school safety guidelines: structural and environmental aspects (16 indicators), knowledge aspects (15 indicators), behavioral aspects (13 indicators) and social support aspects (10 indicators). Structural and environmental aspects primarily focused on physical facilities and infrastructure. Knowledge aspects focused on the content of safety education materials that students and teachers must understand. Behavioral aspects focus on daily activities in the educational environment that support a safe culture. Social support focused on the involvement of parties outside the educational institution to support a safety culture. Conclusions: Although none of the reviewed studies focused specifically on boarding schools, the identified dimensions offer a useful starting point for developing a culturally relevant safety assessment tool. This review highlights the lack of context-specific literature and the need for further research, including expert consultation and field validation, to ensure effective safety strategies in boarding school settings.
