Abstract

Wound management has become a crucial component of healthcare systems since wound healing continues to be a problem for the nursing sciences. One area that could provide novel methods for regenerative complementary nursing is konjac glucomannan. It is necessary to emphasize the significance when konjac glucomannan is incorporated into biomaterials, it may induce particular qualities that make the biomaterials more effective. They are appealing as wound dressing materials. In this review, we will talk about the first line of bioactive konjac glucomannan-based dressings that are often used in nursing practice. These include semipermeable films, hydrogel dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, alginate dressings, non-adherent contact layer dressings, and multilayer dressings. This review will also point out that there isn'tenough high-quality evidence and that more advanced trials need to be done because most current wound healing treatments don't work well, either structurally or functionally. Konjac glucomannan is a unique tool that can be used to help heal wounds. They can be made to closely resemble the natural processes that lead to tissue repair.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by an injury to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, joints, cartilage, bones or blood vessels of the hands, feet, head, neck or back. MSDs can be caused or exacerbated by work, work environment and work performance. Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common occupational diseases, ranking second among all cases of occupational diseases, in Indonesia the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems is 7.3%. The purpose of this study is to determine the contributing factors to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among employees in the education sector. A cross-sectional design was employed as the research methodology, and the sample size consisted of fifty education sector employees. Direct observation, in-person interviews using questionnaires, as well as taking pictures and videos of the work, were the methods used to collect data. Binary logistic regression was used for data analysis in order to ascertain the association between MSDs and work-related variables such as manual lifting, repetitive motions, and body position. The findings of the study indicated that 48% of participants complained of MSDs in the upper body, and most employees had bad posture. The results of the binary logistic regression test indicate a significant
