ABSTRACT
Abstract: Background: Low Back Pain is a symptom and not a diagnosis. Some cases of symptoms conform to the pathological diagnosis with great accuracy, but in most cases, the diagnosis is uncertain and long-lasting. Developed countries such as the United States, the prevalence of LBP in one year ranges from 15% -20%. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, based on data from the Ministry of Health's research in 2006 regarding diseases and accidents that occur in traditional fishermen and divers, it is stated that a number of fishermen on Bungin Island, West Nusa Tenggara suffer from joint pain (57.5 percent) and mild hearing loss to deafness ( 11.3 percent). The research objective was to analyze the risk factors for low back pain in labor fishermen in Namosain Village, Kupang City. Methods: This type of research is an analytical survey research with adesign cross sectional which was conducted in the Namosain Village, Kupang City. The study population was 267 fishermen. The selected sample was 73 fishermen with accidental sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and observation sheets and then analyzed using Fisher's exact test and multiple logistic regression tests. Conclusion: The variables of vibration, work period, work load and work attitude have an influence on the incidence of low back pain in labor fishermen in the namosain village, Kupang city.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is a health problem that is often experienced by farmers due to lifting activities, bending over a relatively long time, and carrying loads with an unergonomic attitude. One of the efforts to deal with the problem of low back pain is ergonomics intervention through the William Flexion Exercise method. This study aims to determine the effect of William Flexion exercise on reducing low back pain. This research is a quasi-experimental study with one group pre test post test design. William flexion exercise is given in the form of abdominal strengthening movements with a duration of 30-40 minutes. The research sample consisted of 23 people determined by random sampling technique from a population of rice farmers in Lembor Selatan District, West Manggarai Regency. The measurement of LBP levels using the Oswestry questionnaire was carried out before and after the intervention. Data differences before and after the intervention were tested using the Wilcoxon sign rank test. The results showed that William Flexion exercise can reduce low back pain of farmers from an average score of 64.26 to 47.96 or a decrease of 25.36% with p = 0.000. The conclusion of this research is william flexion exercise can reduce Low back pain.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Background: The growth and development of children will vary from one child to another. Development focuses on changes that occur gradually from the lowest level to the highest and most complex levels through the process of maturation and learning. Development relates to changes in quality, including an increase in individual capacity to function which is achieved through a process of growth, maturation, and learning. Subjects and Method: This study aims to determine knowledge, change attitudes and behavior of parents regarding Stimulation, Detection, and Early Intervention for children aged 1-5 years at Kenarilang Health Center, Alor.Descriptive research data collection based on cross sectional approach. The population taken in this study was all healthcare center’s cadres and mothers who have children aged 1-5 years who live in the working area of Kenarilang Health Center, Alor, totaling 252 people. The technique for determining the sample is proportional random stratification. The number of samples used in this study was 50 samples. Results: Most of the respondent’s as many as 27 people (54.0%) had a lack of ability to stimulate growth and development, as many as 42 people (84.0%) had a good ability to detect growth and development, and 46 people (92.0%) had good abilityat interventions for growth and development. Conclusion: Most of the respondents have less ability to stimulate growth and development. Most of the respondents have less ability to detect growth and development. Most of the respondents have a good ability in conducting growth and development interventions.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Parenting patterns are the care that is given by the mother or other caregivers in the form of attitudes and behaviors in terms of their closeness to children, feeding, caring for cleanliness, giving love and so on. Good care is very important to ensure optimal growth and development of children, therefore, poor care can cause children to have less nutritional status. This type of research is analytic observational usingdesign cross sectional. The sample in this study was parents and pre-school children aged 4-5 years, so that the number of samples in each region was 73 parents and 73 preschool children aged 4-5 years. Sampling was done by using cluster sampling method, purposive sampling and stratified sampling. The results of thetest chi square showed that the p-value was smaller than α 0.05, so the analysis showed that there was a significant effect of feeding practices on children's development. The results of thetest chi square showed that the p-value was 0.000 smaller than α 0.05, so the analysis showed that there was a significant effect of hygiene and health practices on children's development. The results of thetest chi square showed a p-value of 0.000 smaller α 0.05, so the results of the analysis showed that there was a significant effect of the practice of hygienic affection on child development. The results of thetest chi square showed a p-value of 0.000 smaller α 0.05, so the results of the analysis showed a significant effect of stimulation practice on child development.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Introduction: Antenatal care, which is one of the pillars of safe motherhood, is health services provided by health workers for mothers during their pregnancy, which are implemented in accordance with the antenatal service standards set out in the Midwifery Service Standards based on 10 T. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the determinants of the organization that affect the performance of midwives in implementing Antenatal Care (10T) in a very remote area of Kupang Regency. Material and Method: The number of research samples was 72 samples in 2019 with data collection techniques using documentation studies, namely the checklist sheet. Data were analyzed using simple logistic regression analysis and multiple logistic regressions. Results: The results showed that the factors that significantly correlated between organizational factors and the performance of midwives in implementing ANC according to 10 T standards were the completeness of infrastructure (p = 0.0.046; OR = 2.800) and leadership (p = 0.006; OR = 4.185). The most significant determinant related between organizational factors and midwife performance in implementing ANC according to 10T standards in very remote areas in Kupang Regency was leadership (p = 0.033; OR = 3,340; 95% CI: 1.103-10,118). Conclusion: In integrated Antenatal Care services, health workers must be able to ensure that the pregnancy takes place normally, improve the mother's health status, carry out various health efforts, both promotive, preventive and curative and rehabilitative, seek services for pregnant women, help deliveries by health workers, able to detect early problems and diseases experienced by pregnant women, intervene adequately so that pregnant women are ready to undergo normal delivery, family planning counseling services, and reproductive health.
