The Relationship between Personal Hygiene and the Use of Personal Protective Equipment and Contact Dermatitis Symptoms in Salon Workers
No full textIntroduction: Contact dermatitis (CD) is one of the most common occupational diseases among salon workers, resulting from exposure to irritants (wet work) and allergens. Behavioral factors such as personal hygiene (PH) and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are considered important for prevention. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and PPE use on the symptoms of contact dermatitis among salon workers in Cilegon District. Methods: This study used an observational analytic study design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 42 salon workers in Cilegon District, selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed a low prevalence of contact dermatitis complaints (11.9%). Bivariate analysis showed no statistically significant relationship between personal hygiene (p = 0.716) and the incidence of CD. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between PPE use (p = 0.153) and the incidence of CD. Discussion/Conclusion: This non-significant finding is strongly suspected to be related to the low availability of PPE from the workplace (83.3% of respondents were not provided with PPE) and the possibility of ineffective PPE use (e.g., plastic gloves). The low prevalence of CD symptoms is also thought to be related to the protective factor of intermittent occupational exposure, where 97.6% of respondents had a total direct contact time of < 5 hours/day. It is concluded that there is no statistical relationship between personal hygiene and PPE use with contact dermatitis symptoms in this population.83 PagesSkripsi Sarjan

Implementation of Statistical Quality Control to Control the Number of Babies with Low Birth Weight in North Sumatera in 2021-2023
No full textLow birth weight (LBW) cases remain a problem in developing countries.
Indonesia, as a developing country, still faces the challenge of low birth weight
(LBW) as a public health issue, especially in rural areas with limited access to
health facilities. This situation is particularly relevant in North Sumatra, where
many remote areas face difficulties in accessing adequate healthcare services.
These limitations are exacerbated by low levels of education and a lack of public
awareness regarding the importance of nutrition during pregnancy. This
contributes to the high rate of babies born with low birth weight (LBW). Low birth
weight (LBW) increases the risk of mortality and morbidity. This study aims to
observe and conclude which districts/cities in North Sumatra have LBW rates that
are outside the control limits. It also seeks to identify districts/cities in North
Sumatra that require further evaluation regarding the issue of LBW. The method
used is Statistical Quality Control using average control charts (X̄) and range
(R). The study used a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from
the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The analysis results showed a central line
value for the X̄ control chart of 40.323 with an upper control limit (UCL) of
93.953 and a lower control limit (LCL) of -13.307. Meanwhile, the calculation of
the R control chart yielded a central line value of 52.424 with an upper control
limit (UCL) of 134.992 and a lower control limit (LCL) of 0. From the analysis
results, it can be concluded that the X̄ and R control charts are still in an
uncontrolled state, as evidenced by the control chart showing several points
outside the control limits (out of control).95 PagesKertas Karya Diplom
