ERGONOMIC RISK ASSESSMENT OF GADUNG PEELERS USING NORDIC BODY MAP (NBM) AND OVAKO WORK POSTURE ANALYSIS (OWAS) METHODS

2024-12-18T18:33:32+08:00

Background: The activity of peeling gadung as a raw material for making gadung chips is done manually and repeatedly with an unnatural working posture and can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Preventive measures need to be taken by carrying out ergonomic risk assessments.

Objectives: The research aimed to analyze the level of ergonomic risk in MSDs using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) and Ovako Work Posture Analysis (OWAS) methods.

Methods: The research method used was an analytical method with a cross-sectional research design. This research was conducted in the home industry gadung chips, Kediri in August 2024. The sampling technique was purposive sampling with a total sample of 10 gadung peeler workers. The variables in this study were the severity of muscle complaints and work posture (back, arm, leg, and load movements) as the risk level for MSDs. The type of data collection technique used was a field study by filling out the NBM questionnaire to determine the severity of MSDs. Working posture (back, arm, leg, and load movements) was also observed using the OWAS method by filling in a form. The results of the analysis will provide results as a reference for taking appropriate action to overcome ergonomic risks.

Results: Based on data analysis using the NBM showed the percentage of MSDs, that are right shoulder, right wrist, and right hand had the highest proportion of scores for complaints of pain that always occurred (100%). The left wrist and shoulder area (96%), stiffness in the lower neck (92%), pain in the back (91%), pain in the waist (90%), and also pain in the right and left knee areas for lower limbs. The results of the ergonomic risk level analysis using the OWAS method showed that the working posture is included in the moderate risk category (score 2).

Conclusion: Corrective action is needed to prevent musculoskeletal disorders such as improving work posture, doing stretching exercises before and after work and designing ergonomic work chairs.

VIRAL LOAD AND OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION AS THE INDICATOR OF QUALITY-OF-LIFE PEOPLE WITH HIV/AIDS

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a significant concern in the field of global health. However, studies on the relationship between viral load, opportunistic infections, and quality-of-life among them are limited.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between viral load count, the presence of opportunistic infection, and the quality-of-life among people living with HIV.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was used involving 35 respondents recruited through convenience sampling. The quality-of-life of individuals living with HIV was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life instrument for HIV. Statistical analysis using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and proportion, and bivariate analysis with p-value<0.05.

Results: Of the 35 participants, the majority were male (57.1%), with a mean age of 41.63 (9.09), and had a low education level (51.4%). The mean quality-of-life score was 86.88 (12.27), with a mean duration of ARV treatment of 7.23 years (5.36), undetectable viral load (68.6%), living with opportunistic infections (80%), and with tuberculosis being the most common (52.63%). There was a significant correlation between viral load and overall quality-of-life (p-value 0.04).

Conclusion: The results of viral load testing and the identification of opportunistic infections can serve as indicators to assess the quality-of-life among people living with HIV. The outcomes of this study have practical implications for enhancing healthcare services in clinical settings. This information can guide the implementation of targeted interventions to strengthen social relationships and these individuals' environmental quality-of-life.
