Abstract

Background: Permethrin is the drug of choice for scabies with side effects such as erythema, pain, itching and prickling sensation. Whole-body (standard) topical application of permethrin causes discomfort; thus, modified application of permethrin to the lesion only, followed with baths twice daily using soap was proposed. The objective of the study is to know the effectiveness of standard against lesion-only application of permethrin in scabies treatment.Methods: An experimental study was conducted in pesantren in East Jakarta and data was collected in May-July 2012. Diagnosis of scabies was made through anamnesis and skin examination. Subjects positive for scabies were divided into three groups: one standard method group (whole-body topical application) and two modified groups (lesion-only application followed by the use of regular soap and antiseptic soap group). The three groups were evaluated weekly for three consecutive weeks. Data was processed using SPSS 20 and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results: Total of 94 subjects was scabies positive (prevalence 50%) but only 69 subjects were randomly picked to be analyzed. The cure rate at the end of week III of the standard method group was 95.7%, modified treatment followed by the use of regular soap was 91.3%, and modified treatment followed by the use of antiseptic soap was 78.3% (p = 0.163). The recurrence rate of standard treatment was 8.7%,  modified treatment followed by the use of regular soap was 13% and modified treatment followed by the use of antiseptic soap was 26.1% (p = 0.250).Conclusion: The standard scabies treatment was as effective as the modified scabies treatment.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Job stress is a serious health problem in the 21st century because of its high incidence and impact. Nurses are known as a profession that has high risks of stress, has distinctive characteristics, and hence requires a work stress assessment instrument that suits its peculiarities. The Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) is a nurse-specific stress assessment instrument that has high validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.96) and is widely used in many countries but is not yet available in Indonesian. This study aims to obtain the Indonesian version of ENSS and evaluate its reliability and validity. Method: We applied the 10 steps of ISPOR's (International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research) transcultural adaptation method, followed by validity and reliability tests on 104 nurses at a private hospital in Jakarta. Result: The Indonesian version of the ENSS questionnaire, consisting of 57 items, was obtained. All of the items were valid, with r values ranging from 0.362 to 0.793. Cronbach's alpha was 0.956, and the reliability test value using test-retest was 0.939. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the ENSS has proven to be valid and reliable and has excellent internal consistency. The instrument can be used to assess job stress among Indonesian nurses. Keywords: ENSS; Indonesian; work stress; nurse

Abstract

Background: In 2022, the Indonesian Occupational Medicine Association (IOMA) collaborated with oil and gas companies and conducted a web-based seminar (webinar) to enable participants to recognize occupational disease earlier and enhance reporting in companies. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the webinar in increasing the intended knowledge. Method: The webinar was separated into three batches, with different participants per batch. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, we utilized secondary data from IOMA. The effectiveness of the webinar was determined by participants' satisfaction and knowledge as measured by pre-test and post-test. After performing item analysis, we removed poor discriminating items in pre-test and post-test ( Results: Data was gathered from 147 subjects (23.8%, 34%, and 42.2% of the three batches, respectively). Except for company status in the second batch (P = 0.045), there was no significant difference in initial knowledge based on the individual factors studied. Significant knowledge improvement was observed post-webinar in each batch compared to the initial. (P < 0.05). The correlation between satisfaction and post-test scores was negligible (r < 0.3; P > 0.05). Conclusion: The initial knowledge of oil and gas company workers in early detection and reporting of OD was low (
