Abstract

Healthcare workers need Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that can protect them, to be safer and more comfortable with handling COVID-19 patients. One important PPE is the Personal Protective Clothing (PPC), where the PPC design has to comply with regulatory requirements, in terms of application, safety, comfort, and cost. A disadvantage is that PPC can be hot and poorly ventilated. The objective of innovation research was to developed a new design of PPC with safe, cool, and comfortable personal protective clothing. PPC is made with 100% polyester coverall according to WHO standards and with ice pack design. This product was subsequently analyzed for material morphology and penetration (water-repellent). Further, relevant information was captured from 14 participants in several health professions, using questionnaires. The laboratory test results of the sample materials reportedly surpassed the specifications and were also incorporated into level-3 PPC. Based on the survey data, the personal protective clothing with ice pack was simple, comfortable, and not hot to use for healthcare workers.

Abstract

An increasing number of people exposed to diseases is caused by uneven public awareness of personal health and the factors that cause the infectious diseases. Meanwhile, the government has limited funds and personnel, which causes an inability to achieve maximum goals in disease prevention. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between responsiveness, reliability, empathy, assurance, and tangible aspects with patient satisfaction regarding preparedness services at Belawan Port, Medan City in 2020. The quantitative analytic survey was used with a cross-sectional design. The population used was all ship crews presented and worked on the ship when it was anchored at Light I of Belawan Port. The sample consisted of 95 crew members. Analysis of the chi-square test shows the following results: responsiveness (p=0.001), reliability (p=0.001), assurance (p=0.002), empathy (p=0.001) and physical aspect (p=0.060). The logistic regression test shows the variable that influences the most satisfying service in preparedness service is empathy, with an Exp (B) value of 4.781. The conclusion shows that responsiveness, reliability, assurance, and empathy-related to crew satisfaction, while the physical aspect has no relationship with it. It is recommended to improve the quality of preparedness services for crew members by increasing supervision and inspection, and attention to prevent disease transmission and establish a harmonious relationship between health workers and crew members for customer satisfaction.

Abstract

The dust has a negative impact that can affect workers’ health. This study aimed to analyze the environmental health risks of dust exposure on workers at PT. Cassia Co-op Indonesia in Jambi. Descriptive quantitative research was conducted using an Analisis Risiko Kesehatan Lingkungan (ARKL) approach, including analysis of hazard identification, dose-response, exposure assessment, and risk characteristics. 61 respondents from the production division were selected as samples with a disproportionate stratified random technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire and Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) concentration from company’s secondary data. The results of measuring dust levels at 2 (two) points obtained a concentration value that was still below the threshold, but 77% of respondents experienced health problems related to TSP dust. The real-time intake value of TSP exposure of workers was not at risk of health problems (RQ<1) at both measurement points, and the intake lifespan value of TSP exposure was at risk of health problems (RQ>1) for all workers in the 15th year at point 1. It is recommended for companies to conduct regular health checks on workers, provide PPE and apply the standard use of PPE, make rules that prohibit smoking while working, and increase the location and frequency of testing for TSP dust levels in the company.

Abstract

Pregnant women and infants were a vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aimed to determine anemia in pregnancy and Low Birth Weight (LBW) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyze their associated factors. This was a cross-sectional study used secondary data from maternal and child health records in Kalijambe Public health center, Sragen. A total of 1169 birth records from the period of 2019-2020 were collected. The chi-square and logistic regression were used to analyze the differences and significant associated factors. The prevalence of anemia in pregnancy increased from 38.33% in 2019 to 49.21% in 2020 (p=0.013). However, the LBW proportion decreased from 7.26% in 2019 to 6.02% in 2020 (p=0.415). Mother who suffered from chronic energy deficiency marked by Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) < 23.5 cm was higher risk of anemia (aOR 1.86;95%CI 1.13-3.08). Considering the gestational age when the hemoglobin (Hb) test, anemia was more likely to be found at the second (aOR 2.59;95%CI 1.37-4.86) and third trimester (aOR 6.97;95%CI 3.98-12.20). High-risk pregnancy had higher odds of LBW (aOR 8.57;95%CI 1.65-44.37), while anemia showed no effect on LBW (aOR 1.80;95% CI 0.34-9.45). These results were adjusted for mothers’ age, parity, abortus, infection during pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, MUAC, preterm birth, and gestational age. COVID-19 pandemic increased the prevalence of anemia in pregnancy but had no impact on LBW. Several factors for anemia and LBW were significantly associated. This finding suggests the need for early risk detection and routine, standardized, and comprehensive antenatal care.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) lower kidney function caused by an irreversible reduction in normal nephron function. Globally, CKD contributes to the cause of death. Activation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system is involved in the pathogenesis. ARBs have a cardiorenal protective effect. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in kidney function with the use of Candesartan, Telmisartan or Valsartan antihypertensive therapies in CKD patients. This research method was a prospective observational cohort study looking at changes in kidney function (BUN and Serum Creatinine) at 1 and 6 months of using Antihypertensive Drugs Valsartan, Telmisartan, and Candesartan and tested by statistical analysis. The number of samples in this study was 72 patients which are 24 patients (Candesartan), 27 patients (Telmisartan), and 21 patients (Valsartan). The results showed that the Candesartan group experienced a decrease in average BUN of 0.13±0.85 mg/dl and serum creatinine of 0.004±0.09 mg/dl with independent t-test p=0.479 (p>0.05), Serum Creatinine p= 0.809 (p>0.05). The Telmisartan group experienced a decrease in average BUN of 4.74±5.16 mg/dl and serum creatinine of 0.33±0.20 mg/dl with Wilcoxon BUN test results p=0.000 (p<0.05), Serum Creatinine p=0.000 (p<0.05). In contrast, in the valsartan group, there was no change. So, it can be said that telmisartan has the highest effectiveness in kidney function (BUN and Serum Creatinine).

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease transmitted by the aedes aegypti mosquito. This study aims to determine the relationship between rainfall and larval density which consist of House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index (BI), and Larval Free Rate (LFR) on the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever using GIS modeling. The research method is quantitative with a spatial approach and Univariate and Bivariate analysis. The study population was all cases of DHF in all working areas of Lahat District Health Center, Lahat Regency in 2016-2019. The results of the statistical correlation test showed that there was a correlation between rainfall and the incidence of DHF with a value (p=0.003), while larval density showed a correlation between HI and the DHF incidence (p-value=0.007), CI (p-value=0.007), BI (p-value=0.007). ABJ (p-value=0.012). Spatially, it was found that the incidence of dengue fever was high in the working regions of Public Health Center with high HI (≥5%), low CI (<10%), low BI (<50%), and low larvae-free rate (<95%). It can be concluded that there is a relation among rainfall, HI, CI, and BI on the incidence of DHF in Lahat Regency in 2016-2019 and spatially shows the high incidence of DHF in high HI (≥5%) and low LFR (<95%). It is recommended that the Lahat Regency Office used climate information from the BMKG in planning a program to eradicate DHF and eradicate mosquito nests during the rainy season in Lahat District.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indonesian government have advised the use of cloth face masks by medical and non-medical personnel to prevent Covid-19 transmission. However, many people find it difficult to wear these masks when doing various activities outside their home. The cloth face masks used in Indonesian communities vary significantly in models, materials, and number of layers with a significant number providing discomfort to people. Therefore, this research aims to identify the factors that influence the comfort of cloth face mask model circulating in the public. Phenomenological research design through completed participant observation and open-ended interview with seven lecturers and three education personnel were used to obtain more in-depth data. The results showed that despite the availability of various models in circulation, none were comfortable to use while talking and breathing. On the other hand, their straps use a lot of materials causing pain in the earlobe. Therefore, people prefer irrespective disposable masks of their ability to pollute the environment when not properly disposed. In conclusion, it is necessary to have a homemade cloth face mask that provides comfort to people.
