Evaluation and Correlation of the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment and Rapid Office Strain Assessment Methods for Predicting the Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background: During the last two decades, the scale of computer use has been surprisingly increased. In 2000, 80% of workers stated that they use computer in their daily activities. The tendency to use computer is accompanied with healthy risk and the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders between 10 to 60 percent of computer users. Aims to study, risk assessment by RULA and ROSA methods, surveying the correlation of these methods, and evaluating the prediction ability of these methods in the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders among office workers.Methods: This analytic-descriptive study performed at Behbahan University of Medical Sciences and Imam Khomeini port office in 2016. The sample consists of 236 office workers through simple random sampling method. Body map questionnaire as well as RULA and ROSA checklists were used for data collection. Data analysis was carried out by SPSS software, version 22, and statistical tests including one way ANOVA, Pearson, and Chi-square.Results: The results demonstrated that most of the musculoskeletal disorders are related to trunk, neck and back regions by 40.4%, 39.7%, and 35.4% respectively. The furthest risk distribution in ROSA method is at warning level (67.2%) and at high and very high levels in RULA method (62%). Pearson Test showed a positive significant correlation between these methods (P<0.05). Chi-square Test revealed a significant correlation between musculoskeletal disorders in upper and lower limb with RULA method (P<0.05), but there was no significant relationship with ROSA method (p>0.05). One way ANOVA statistical test divulged a significant relationship between risk of musculoskeletal disorders and gender (P<0.05), but did not find a significant relationship with job experience and education (p>0.05).Conclusion: Due of the weak correlation between RULA and ROSA, it can't be surely stated that one may be used as an alternative to the other; however, RULA is better than ROSA to predict the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Low Born Weigh (LBW) is a baby with a birth weight <2500 grams. LBW babies are weak in fine motor skills. If toddlers' developmental disorders are not detected early it will affect the quality of life, showed the prevalence of LBW by 5.52%. The prevalence of LBW infants in Bantul Regency from 2014 to 2018 has increased. The highest LBW cases were in the Pleret Puskesmas which reached 6.23%. The high prevalence of LBW in Pleret District has made researchers interested in researching the relationship of LBW history with the development of toddlers aged 1-3 years. The purpose of this research is to find out the influence of LBW history on the development of toddlers aged 1-3 years. This type of research is an observational analytic study with a retrospective cohort design. The sample in this study is toddlers aged 1-3 years in the district of Pleret. The independent variables of this study were the birth weight of infants and the dependent variable of development of infants aged 1-3 years. Statistical tests use the Chi-square test and relative risk. This research shows that as many as 31% of children under five with a history of LBW had inappropriate development status. The chi-square test showed a p-value of 0.016 (<0.05) which meant that there was a significant relationship between LBW history and the developmental status of toddlers. Obtained RR value of 1,250 (> 1,00), shows that toddlers with a history of LBW have a risk of experiencing developmental disorders 1.25 times greater than toddlers with normal weight history. The conclusion of this research is a there is a significant relationship between LBW history and the development of toddlers aged 1-3 years. Toddlers with an LBW history have a greater risk of developing developmental disorders compared to toddlers with normal weight history.

Stroke is a disease that is a problem in the world, especially ischemic stroke. Stroke is a disease caused by circulatory disorders of the brain that are affected by several risk factors can not be changed such as age and gender. While the risk factors that can be changed such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and jobs. Effective measures to reduce the incidence of stroke is by controlling risk factors that can be changed. This study aims to determine the relationship characteristics and hypertension with ischemic stroke events in hospitals Ngimbang Lamongan Year 2016. This study was analytic observational with case control design.Sample cases is ischemic stroke patients, while the control sample is non ischemic stroke, each as much as 44 respondents. The sampling technique by using simple random sampling. Collecting data use secondary data by viewing the data records. The statistical test used was chi square test. Research that shows there is a significant relationship with the occurrence of ischemic stroke were age (p = 0,015; OR = 3,286; 95% CI 1,332 to 8,107), gender (p = 0,001; OR = 4.765; 95% CI 1,912 to 11,875 ), employment status (p = 0.001; OR = 4.667; 95%CI 1,890 to 1,526), and hypertension (p = 0,000; OR = 129,000; 95% CI 15,848 to 1050,034).

Household garbage collectors are one of the groups who are at risk of getting dermatitis due to their work. This study aims to determine the relationship between the length of service and the use of long-sleeved work clothes and gloves with dermatitis on the household garbage collector in Surakarta. This was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional study. The subjects of the study were household garbage collector in Jebres sub-district, Surakarta. A total of 134 respondents was recruited as samples using simple random sampling. A questionnaire sheet was used to collect individual data and dermatitis status was determined by the doctor’s diagnosis. A Chi-square test was used to investigate the relationship between the length of service and the use of long-sleeved work clothes and gloves with dermatitis. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with dermatitis. There was a significant relationship between the length of service with dermatitis p=0.000 (p<0.05). There was also a significant relationship between long-sleeve work clothes and gloves with dermatitis p=0.003 (p<0.05). The multivariable test showed that workers with a long length of service had a higher risk of having dermatitis compared to a short length of service (OR=6,701, p=0.000). It was also showed that more frequent use of long-sleeved work clothes intensity reduces the risk of getting dermatitis compared to sometimes use (OR=0.341, p=0.017). There is a significant association between the length of work and the use of long-sleeved work clothes and gloves with dermatitis on household garbage collectors in Surakarta.

Multistage Sampling

Background Postpartum depression is the most common psychological disorder affecting women during the postpartum period, yet this condition often goes undiagnosed. Studies show that the onset of postpartum depression can occur at any time following delivery, up to three months postpartum; in some cases, up to a year postpartum. This study aimed to assess knowledge of postpartum depression in mothers attending immunisation clinics at selected primary healthcare centres in Mushin, Nigeria. This study will help identify areas for improvement in educating women on postpartum depression, leading to early identification, treatment and reduced cases of the illness. Methods This was a descriptive quantitative study using multistage sampling to select participants from two purposively selected comprehensive health centres. Simple random sampling was used to select 240 mothers to participate in the study, who were given self-structured questionnaires on sociodemographic data and knowledge of postpartum depression. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22. Descriptive statistics were used to present demographic variables and objectives. Inferential statistics, the chi-square test, was used to test hypotheses at P<0.005. Results The majority of participants (60.8%) had poor knowledge of postpartum depression. There is a statistically significant relationship between age and knowledge of postpartum depression (P=0.000). There is no significant relationship between education level and knowledge of postpartum depression. Conclusions The majority of women in this study had poor knowledge of postpartum depression. To tackle this, midwives should aim to reinforce health education on mental and emotional health and assess the emotional and mental health status of women during the antenatal and postpartum periods. It is also key for midwives to refer women on time if they suspect postpartum depression.
