Background: Nurses play an important role in taking care of people who have a terminal illness. Aims: To examine nursing caregivers' religiosity as the mediator between voluntary and involuntary euthanasia, and to compare nursing caregiver religiosity groups and the voluntary and involuntary euthanasia attitudes of nurses and nursing students. Methods: A cross sectional design was applied and 298 nursing caregivers voluntarily participated and completed the questionnaire. Findings: Religiosity partially contributes as mediator between voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. All nursing caregiver religiosity groups show more support for voluntary euthanasia. Moreover, nursing students and nurses differ with respect to support for euthanasia in extreme situations, such as patients that are clinically brain-dead. Conclusion: Findings may be attributed to the clash of religious values, due to the common injunction against taking a life especially as regards involuntary euthanasia.

Abstract: Humans spend most of their time on activities. In this modern era, due to increasing competitiveness, everyone is demanded to work harder, causing an ineffective time management. The increase of activity can affect health if not accompanied with adequate rest. The increase of activity can affect physiological function that can cause stress to the body. When stress occured, sympathic nervous and adrenal gland will affect the body's immune system, one of them is lymphoid tissue. Physical activity with moderate to high intensity can cause a change of lymphocyte level in the body. Construction workers are one of the kind of high intensity physical activity. This study aimed to discover the description of lymphocyte level on construction workers. This study was conducted on August 2016 to December 2016. This study is a descriptive study with cross sectional design and the sampling technique was total sampling, 30 respondents were participating. The study result showed that lymphocyte level on 17 respondents (56,7%) was normal, 4 respondents (13,3%) had an elevated lymphocyte level and 9 respondents (30%) had a depressed lymphocyte level. Conclusion: This study result that most of the respondents had a normal lymphocyte level.Keywords: lymphocyte level, construction worker, physical activity. Abstrak: Manusia menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu untuk beraktivitas. Di era modern ini, karena tingkat persaingan semakin tinggi, setiap orang dituntut untuk bekerja lebih keras, sehingga menyebabkan orang tidak dapat mengatur waktu secara efektif. Peningkatan aktivitas dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan jika tidak disertai dengan istirahat yang cukup. Peningkatan aktivitas fisik dapat mempengaruhi fungsi fisiologi tubuh yang akhirnya akan menimbulkan stres pada tubuh. Pada saat terjadi stres, saraf simpatik dan kelenjar adrenal akan mempengaruhi sistem imun, salah satunya adalah jaringan limfoid. Aktivitas fisik dengan intensitas sedang sampai berat dapat menyebabkan perubahan jumlah limfosit dalam tubuh. Pekerja bangunan merupakan salah satu aktivitas fisik dengan intensitas berat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar limfosit pada pekerja bangunan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2016 sampai dengan Desember 2016. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional dan pengambilan sampel secara total sampling dengan 30 orang responden. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa gambaran kadar limfosit pada pekerja bangunan terdapat 17 responden (56,7%) memiliki kadar limfosit normal, 4 responden (13,3%) memiliki kadar limfosit meningkat dan 9 responden (30%) memiliki kadar limfosit menurun. Simpulan: Sebagian besar responden memiliki kadar limfosit normal. Kata kunci: kadar limfosit, pekerja bangunan, aktivitas fisik.

Construction is one of the highest industries in contributing to work accident rates. Unsafe act is the cause of 73% of work accidents. One way to prevent unsafe act is through safe behavior implemented by management and workers themselves. This study aims to determine the correlation between the safety climate with unsafe act. This research uses quantitative analytic methods with cross sectional design study. Data was analyzed using chi-square with a sample of 88 people selected by purposive sampling method. The results showed that the proportion of respondents who frequently perform unsafe acts was 33%. In bivariate analysis showed there were a relevant relationship between the dimensions of management safety empowerment (OR 2.455; 95% CI 1.06-5.87), worker’s safety priority and risk non-acceptance (OR 2.679; 95% CI 1.05- 6,83) and the dimensions of safety communication, learning and trust in co-worker’s safety competence (OR 2,500; 95% CI 1.05-5.91) with unsafe act. Workers who have a good perception of a safety climate rarely take unsafe actions.
