The Effect of Awkward Posture on Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder among Hospital Workers in Pekanbaru, Riau

BACKGROUND: Work-related musculoskeletal disorder may cause discomfort, work loss, and subsequently economic loss, in most industries, including hospital. Little is known about the effect of awkward posture on work-related musculoskeletal disorder. The study aimed to examine the effect of awkward posture on work-related musculoskeletal disorder among hospital workers. SUBJECT AND METHOD: This was a cross sectional study conducted at a hospital in Pekanbaru, Riau. A sample of 205 hospital workers was selected at random for this study. The independent variables was awkward posture, measured by REBA method. The dependent variable was work-related musculoskeletal disorder, measured by Nordic Body Map. The confounding factor was smoking status. The data were analyzed using multiple regression model. RESULTS: As many as 82.9% of the hospital workers studied experienced mild work-related musculoskeletal disorder. As many as 17.1% of the hospital workers experienced severe work-related musculoskeletal disorder. After adjusting for the effect of smoking, awkward posture increased the risk 7 times as many of work-related musculoskeletal disorder, and it was statistically significant (OR= 7.14; 95%CI= 2.93 to 17.36; p=0.001). CONCLUSION: After adjusting for the effect of smoking, awkward posture increased the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Hospital workers with awkward posture need special attention as they are at higher risk of experiencing work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Keywords: awkward posture, work-related musculoskeletal disorder

Relative Effectiveness of Gamexan and Permethrine as Anti-Scabies, Controlling for Gender and Personal Hygiene Education

BACKGROUND: Prevalence of scabies remained high in slum areas and certain communities (e.g. religious boarding school). Incidence of scabies is associated with poor personal hygiene. Scabies is curable. This study aimed to determine the relative effectiveness between Gamexan and Permethrine as anti-scabies and effect modification by personal hygiene education. SUBJECT AND METHODS: This was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, conducted in Malang district. A sample of 40 students aged 12-18 years old from a religious boarding school in Malang district was selected at random for this study. The dependent variable was cure from scabies. The independent variable included anti-scabies (Gamexan and Permethrine), sex, and personal hygiene education. A multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: After controlling for the effects of gender and personal hygiene education, Gamexan was 1/3 less likely to cure scabies than Permethrine (OR= 0.38; 95% CI= 0.12 to 1.19; p= 0.096). Female gender (OR= 8.13; 95% CI= 0.87 to 76.24; p=0.067) and personal hygiene education (OR= 9.37; 95%CI= 2.92 to 30.07; p<0.001) increased the chance of cure. The effect of anti-scabies treatment on cure was modified by personal hygiene and education. The odd of cure with Permethrine was 3 times as many than Gamexan when personal hygiene education was not provided (OR=3.27; 95% CI= 0.80 to 13.35; p= 0.046). The odd of cure with Permethrine was 1.42 times as many than Gamexan when personal hygiene education was provided (OR=1.42; 95% CI= 0.27 to 7.34; p= 0.339). CONCLUSION: Permethrine is three times more effective as anti-scabies than Gamexan when personal hygiene was not provided. This difference in effectiveness between the two anti-scabies treatments was not significant when personal hygiene was provided. Female gender and personal hygiene education increase the chance of cure. Keyword: scabies, Gamexan and Permethrine

Fluoride in Drinking Water: a Comparison Between Two Areas in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Background: The fluoridation of drinking water is a systemic approach by health authorities to eradicate dental-related problems among the population at large. However, numerous studies have shown that consumption of high levels of fluoride from unchecked or untested sources may lead to dental fluorosis, which, in severe form, leads to brownish mottling of the teeth. Children aged between 6 months to 2 years who are exposed to high levels of fluoride (more than 1.5 mg/L) may suffer from this abnormality. Fluoride levels in a few Malaysian states were above the recommended levels and this may be a factor contributing to the higher prevalence of dental fluorosis among the population. This study aimed to determine levels of fluoride in drinking water between two areas, one in Selangor (Seri Serdang) and the other in Kuala Lumpur (Kampung Pandan). Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in Seri Serdang, Selangor and Kampung Pandan, Kuala Lumpur involving a total of 111 water samples (71 from Seri Serdang, 40 from Kampung Pandan). Samples were analyzed using a HACH brand direct reading spectrophotometer model DR 1900. Results: Mean fluoride levels in drinking water for both areas did not exceed the recommended range (0.4 – 0.6 mg/L). Mean fluoride level in Seri Serdang was 0.49 + SD 0.12 mg/L, while in Kampung Pandan, it was 0.35 + SD 0.01 mg/L. Conclusion: Mean level of fluoride was low or within the stipulated range. A more thorough study is needed to determine other intakes of fluoride that may influence the formation of dental fluorosis. Keywords: fluoride, drinking water, Seri Serdang, Kampung Pandan
