Correlation of Physical Activity, Fast Food Consumption, and Family History With Primary Dysmenorrhea Among Adolescent Girls

Primary dysmenorrhea is often experienced by adolescents with different levels of pain. Primary dysmenorrhea affects daily activities, especially in school-age adolescents, and has an impact on their academics and productivity at school. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in female students at SMP N 2 Karanglewas. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional research design, with a total sample of 87 respondents at SMP N 2 Karanglewas using a cluster random sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. There is a relationship between menarche age (p-value = 0.018); physical activity (p-value = 0.008); consumption of fast food (p-value = 0.009); and family history (p-value = 0.000); with primary dysmenorrhea. There is no relationship between the length of menstruation (p-value = 1,000); nutritional status (p-value = 0.556); and stress level (p-value = 0.798). There is a significant relationship between the age of menarche, physical activity, consumption of fast food, and family history with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in female students of SMP N 2 Karanglewas. Adolescents with a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk factors for primary dysmenorrhea.

Identification of Potential Hazards in Occupational Safety and Health Among Rice Milling Workers at UD. Lestari

Occupational health and safety (OHS) is crucial for safeguarding workers' well-being and preventing workplace accidents and diseases. This study explores OHS hazards at UD Lestari, an informal sector rice milling operation in Semarang City, Indonesia. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, conducting interviews, observation, and measurements from April to May 2024. The aim of this study was to identify various OHS hazards present in UD. Lestari's rice milling operations. This research found that all respondents experienced respiratory problems (100%) and 3 people (50%) experienced hearing problems, attributed to inadequate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and smoking habits. Dust levels inside the production area exceeded permissible limits (8.04 mg/m3), posing risks of respiratory diseases. Similarly, noise levels surpassed recommended thresholds (93.26 dB), increasing the likelihood of hearing loss. This study contributes valuable insights into enhancing workplace safety and underscores the importance of ongoing efforts to safeguard worker health in informal sector industries. Future research should explore additional factors influencing OHS outcomes to further enhance workplace safety practices and employee well-being.

Welding workshops are informal sector businesses with a high potential for danger that require occupational safety and health (OSH) efforts, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Some welding accidents are caused by PPE factors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the behavior of PPE use in welding workshop workers. This study used an analytical observational type with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was 41 welding workshop workers who were all used as samples (total sampling). The variables measured were age, work experience, education, knowledge about PPE, attitude towards PPE, availability of PPE, and behavior of PPE use. Statistical analysis used Binary Logistic Regression using SPSS 27 software, at α = 5%. The results of the analysis showed that knowledge about PPE was significantly associated with the behavior of PPE use (OR = 2.12; p = 0.040), attitude towards PPE was significantly associated with the behavior of PPE use (OR = 2.37; p = 0.034), and availability of PPE was significantly associated with the behavior of PPE use (OR = 4.27; p = 0.038). It is concluded that the factors that influence the behavior of PPE use are knowledge about PPE, attitude towards PPE, and availability of PPE.
