Abstract

Introduction: The discrepancy between actual heat stress and workers' perception results in a mitigation failure, potentially leading to fatality. This study aimed to investigate workplace heat stress, workers' workload, and personnel's heat strain in steel mills under extreme temperature conditions. Methods: The study used a mixed-methods design and was conducted across three steel mills in East Java, Indonesia. An analysis of heat-stress data included heat-stress symptoms derived from physiological and environmental factors, while the personal perception assessment was based on comprehensive interview sessions. These quantitative results, obtained from 119 operators, were compared with workers' personal thermal perceptions using a mixed-methods approach. Phase 1 quantitative method consisted of onsite data collection, walkthrough inspection, questionnaire distribution, workplace monitoring, personal assessment, and statistical analysis. Phase 2, as a qualitative stage, consisted of in-depth interviews and focused group discussions with 15 participants. Results: The wet-bulb globe temperature measurements confirm significant heat stress in all mills. Workers' physiological responses remained within acceptable limits according to ACGIH criteria. However, a noticeable discrepancy was found between the quantitative data and workers' perceptions, highlighting the need for greater awareness and training on heat-stress hazards. Conclusion: The alignment between qualitative and quantitative findings underscores the importance of integrating both approaches to develop effective mitigation strategies. This study contributes to understanding occupational heat stress in high-risk environments and emphasizes the need to incorporate worker perceptions into health and safety protocols.

Abstract

One of the industries that contributes the most to deaths and work accidents during the summer is the construction industry. Health problems due to heat in construction workers in several countries are heat stress. Therefore, this study was conducted by the author with the aim of determining the prevalence and risk factors as well as intervention strategies for heat stress in construction workers. The research conducted by the author used the Systematic Literature Review method with reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. A total of 2.073 articles were obtained from the Scopus and PubMed databases for analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 framework by considering the eligibility criteria that have been made. Articles that meet the inclusion criteria are then further analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal checklist to measure the quality of the articles to be reviewed. The high quality of articles is used by researchers as the result of the Systematic Literature Review. The result of the Systematic Literature Review analyzed 13 articles qualitatively using a narrative synthesis approach. From these results, it is known that the prevalence of heat stress in construction workers is 30%. Risk factors for heat stress in construction workers briefly consist of individual, environmental, organizational, psychosocial, economic, workload, and history of chronic disease factors. Meanwhile, the heat stress intervention strategy for construction workers that can be carried out is to regulate and adjust body temperature to the environment (acclimatization), provide facilities for heat stress mitigation, work area engineering, administrative arrangements in the work environment, adjustment of Personal Protective Equipment, and health promotion.

Abstract

Introduction: Workplace burnout is becoming a health concern as well as a problem that affects overall productivity.  The increasing frequency of these incidents highlights the need for all parties involved to carefully analyze them. In the context of this study, early observations revealed that nurses were dealing with rotating shift patterns, extreme workloads, and emotional weariness. These findings demonstrate the urgent need for strategies to increase personal resources and reduce burnout. This study aimed to investigate how a job crafting strategy that considers organizational commitment and leadership style can help nurses manage burnout. Methods: This study used a control group and quasi-experimental design. Organizational commitment and leadership style were independent variables, job crafting was the moderating variable, and burnout was the dependent variable. The intervention was given in several staggered sessions that corresponded with the nurses' rotating shift patterns to ensure complete participation without interfering with patient care. Each variable was measured using validated tools with predetermined scoring systems. Results: The results demonstrated that the levels of burnout among nurses were significantly impacted by both organizational commitment and leadership style. Additionally, job crafting is crucial for preventing or mitigating burnout. Conclusion: This study shows that organizational commitment and leadership style are possible influences on a burnout model among nurses, and that job crafting is a useful strategy. To increase resilience, reduce the risk of burnout, and improve care quality, hospitals are urged to include job crafting training in their continuing professional development programs.

Abstract

Introduction: Introduction: Coastal women have a large role in fishing households by carrying out fish processing work. The facts show that fish processing work carried out without paying attention to ergonomic factors is vulnerable to LBP complaints. This study aims to analyze LBP complaints among women processing fish. Methods: This type of research is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and face-to-face interviews with 110 respondents to collect social demographics, job factors, history of LBP, and LBP complaints. Other primary data is measuring workers' nutritional status, repetitive movements, and physical workload. A logistic regression test was carried out to analyze the relationship between each independent variable and LBP complaints. Results: Occupational factors related to LBP were slipping on slippery floors (aOR = 6.62; 95% CI: 1.88, 23.27), squatting (aOR = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.89), static posture (aOR = 1.22; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.47), and repetitive movements (aOR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.63, 0.97). The history of LBP that significantly increased LBP was the frequency of occasional pain (aOR = 6.27; 95% CI: 1.47, 26.62), and absenteeism (ORs = 2.80; 95% CI: 1.10, 7.07). Conclusion: There is a relationship between age, years of work, having another job, incidents of slipping while working, squatting, static postures, repetitive movements, frequency of pain, and absenteeism with complaints of LBP. LBP experienced by women fish processors is a serious problem that requires ergonomic evaluation and work area design control. Occupational factors significantly worsen the occurrence of LBP.

Abstract

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding among women who return to work remains below global recommendations set by the World Health Organization, largely due to persistent psychological and structural barriers. Partner involvement and digitally delivered health education, particularly short-form video content, have been suggested as promising strategies to support breastfeeding continuation among working mothers. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace-based couple lactation education program with short-form video reinforcement on husbands' breastfeeding knowledge, attitude, and supportive behaviors. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group was conducted among 84 third-trimester pregnant women (42 intervention, 42 control) employed in the industrial sector of Kudus Regency. The intervention consisted of structured workplace lactation classes involving couples and short-form TikTok videos delivered by a certified lactation counselor. Participants were followed up at one, three, and six months postpartum using validated instruments. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test and General Linear Model Repeated Measures (GLM-RM). Results: The intervention was associated with significant and sustained improvements across outcomes. Husband’s knowledge increased significantly from the third to the six month postpartum (p<0.001). Attitudes improved in the first month (p<0.001), while supportive behaviors showed significant gains at three months and continued to strengthen at six months (p<0.001). GLM-RM analyses indicated significant time effect and group-by-time interactions for all measured outcomes (p<0.05). Conclusion: Short-form video reinforcement, combined with husband-focused lactation education and digital reinforcement into workplace health policies, alongside provisions such as lactation rooms and protected breastfeeding breaks, may support exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers.

Abstract

Background: Ergonomic assessments in occupational safety and health are primarily based on the method of subjective observation. However, during the past two decades major technological developments have occurred, with the potential to revolutionise ergonomic evaluation methods. Methods: This bibliometric study was conducted to systematically map studies on safety design ergonomics between 2002 and 2024. Out of an initial pool of 225 articles all of them were carefully selected and analysed using VOSViewer in order to examine publication trends, geographic distribution, and the evolution of key themes. Results: Notable innovations include wearable sensors to capture real-time posture, Microsoft Kinect to record movement and automated assessments using artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic and machine learning. The advent of Industry 4.0 has led to the development of Motion Analysis Systems and digital twin technologies which encourage human-robot collaboration. The emergence of collaborative robots and exoskeletons offers encouraging ways to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Most of the research is concentrated in developed countries with many of the findings published in interdisciplinary journals. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis indicates the rapid growth in the use of AI-enabled and sensor-based ergonomic assessment tools, especially since 2018. The results indicate a shift towards ergonomics adapted for workplaces, which was not emphasised in previous studies. The successful implementation of such technologies requires addressing issues concerning costs, developing standardised procedures, and ensuring equitable access.

Abstract

Introduction: Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal problem among healthcare workers, often linked to degenerative changes and biomechanical stressors related to occupational demands. The predictive value of age and body composition is generally unclear, although they are considered confounding factors. Identifying specific indicators is important for implementing workplace health interventions. Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional survey of 121 hospital-based healthcare workers in Indonesia. Body composition (fat mass and body mass index) was analyzed using a Tanita BC-418 bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system. Knee pain was determined from the Western University and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaires. Controlling for age, multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the independent effects of fat mass and BMI with knee pain severity. Results: The regression model was significant (F(3.117) = 3.12, p = 0.029, R2 = 0.074) accounting for 7.4% of the variation in WOMAC sub-scores on average amongst participants in the sample. Fat mass was an independent predictor of knee pain severity (B = 0.28, p = 0.017), while age (B = 0.12, p = 0.18) and BMI (B = 0.09, p = 0.29) were not significantly associated. The VIFs for all variables were less than 1.6 with no linear correlation apparent. Conclusion: These results indicate that fat mass percentage is associated with the degree of knee pain in healthcare workers to a greater extent than BMI or age. These findings suggest that it may help support early knee pain prevention strategies by integrating body composition assessment into occupational health programs.

Abstract

Introduction: This paper will examine the evolution of wearable technology in postural monitoring and correction in a systematic study. Both Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were searched on with relevant keywords. Method: The PRISMA flow was used to select the articles, and 37 empirical and 13 non-empirical studies were finally included in the analysis. Result: The findings of the research indicate that wearable posture monitoring has now come a long way as a mere one-sensor device to a multi-sensor system together with high-tech digital technology. IMU sensors, acceleration, gyroscopes, and pressure sensors are used in most wearable devices and are capable of detecting the change of posture in real-time. They have a biofeedback system which applies vibration, sound or displays. Wearable postures are not meant to be used in general. Nevertheless, they are customized to meet the special requirements of user groups including office employees, those with neurological conditions, those with low back pain, medical professionals and students. The non-empirical type of studies under analysis also play a significant role in enhancing the theoretical basis of wearable posture development, especially sensor design, technology integration, and user comfort. These results indicate that wearable posture technology can be immensely useful in supplementing postural disorder prevention and rehabilitation programs in many fields. Conclusion: The present study suggests creating wearable posture-based systems on artificial intelligence and cloud-based monitoring, which are more adaptive and personalized and proposes long-term research with randomized controlled trial designs to assess the effectiveness of interventions continuously.Keywords: Biofeedback, Posture Correction, Posture Monitoring, Wearable Posture, Wearable Technology
