Awareness Of Workers Research Articles

Attitudes of Labor Migrants from Central Asia to International Integration Organizations in the Post-Soviet Space

The article presents the results of a sociological empirical study that was conducted from May to August in 2023. Its purpose was to study the attitudes of labor migrants in Russia towards various international integration processes in the post-Soviet space. The objects of the study were workers from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, working in Moscow and the Moscow region. The choice of these countries is not accidental, as they are the main migration donors to the Russian Federation in Central Asia. The uniqueness of the research results lies in the fact that despite the certain “popularity” of such an empirical object as “labor migrants.” The analyzed subject has not yet been sufficiently developed theoretically and empirically. Particular attention is paid to the political preferences and migration attitudes of labor migrants. The issue of awareness of foreign workers of the activities of international integration and military-political associations, such as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), European Union (EU), the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and also the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is examined. The paper also presents the respondents’ assessment of the role of these associations in the development of international processes. Separately, the article examines the relationship between Russia and migrant-sending countries. Based on the results of the study, the authors conclude that respondents have a positive attitude towards integration associations in which Russia plays a key role. Moreover, the socio-political attitudes of foreign workers are characterized by a high degree of loyalty to the foreign policy of the Russian Federation. Migrants overwhelmingly support international cooperation between their countries and Russia and share the foreign policy position of the Russian Federation. In conclusion, labor migrants from Central Asia can be considered as a resource and capital of the influence of Russian “soft power.”

ANALISIS FAKTOR KEJADIAN SINDROM METABOLIK PADA PEKERJA LAPANGAN LEPAS PANTAI DI PT X TAHUN 2021

Metabolic syndrome according to the American Heart Association (AHA) 2021 is a collection of 5 risk factors that can trigger heart attacks, diabetes, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. The 5 risk factors are (1) increased triglyceride levels, (2) greater abdominal circumference, (3) increased blood sugar (4) decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, and (5) increased blood pressure. Based on the results of the 2021 Medical Check Up (MCU), all workers at PT X found that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome had increased to 22.4% compared to the previous year (16.2%). The purpose of this study was to describe the metabolic syndrome in offshore field workers at PT X in 2021 using the cross sectional method. From the research results it is known that the variables of family history, work shift, length of work, physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep duration and smoking are not associated with the incidence of metabolic syndrome (p-value > 0.05). Age and BMI variables were associated with the incidence of metabolic syndrome (p-value <0.05).There was no difference between the eating patterns of respondents who had a history of metabolic syndrome and the eating patterns of respondents who did not have a history of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the worker heath program to increase awareness of workers about health.

Study on risk factors of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection among health workers in medical institutions

Objective: To understand the infection status of mycobacterium tuberculosis among health workers in tuberculosis designated medical institutions and explore the risk factors of infection. Methods: From September 2021 to June 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted among health workers in relevant departments of 4 tuberculosis designated medical institutions by cluster stratified sampling, including the implementation of hospital infection control measures in medical institutions and occupational exposure of medical staff to mycobacterium tuberculosis. Peripheral blood interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) and lung imaging examination were performed to determine the mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Factors with statistical significance in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression to analyze the risk factors of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Results: A total of 657 people completed the lung imaging examination and questionnaire, of which 654 people had peripheral blood IGRAs detection, and the latent infection rate of tuberculosis was 39.45% (258/654) . Univariate analysis showed that age, sex, marital status, economic income, occupational category, professional title, length of service, and other variables had statistical significances in tuberculosis latent infection (P<0.05) . In terms of personal health status, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of health workers in terms of their tuberculosis history, tuberculosis history of their immediate family members, previous tuberculin skin test (TST) (P<0.05) . Multivariate analysis showed that there were four risk factors related to tuberculosis, including professional title (X(1)) , years of tuberculosis related works (X(2)) , tuberculosis history (X(3)) and previous TST (X(4)) . The regression equation of the probability of tuberculosis among health workers was y=-1.920+0.246X(1)+0.046X(2)+1.231X(3)+0.478X(4). Conclusion: The latent infection rate of tuberculosis among health workers in tuberculosis designated medical institutions is high. It is necessary to strengthen the management of infection control, carry out regular screening, enhance the self-protection awareness of health workers, and reduce their exposure to mycobacterium tuberculosis and infection risk.

Sustainable Development Awareness Of Workers In Charitable Organizations: A Study On A Sample Of Charitable Organizations In Ma’an Governorate

Implementation of the 5S work culture (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) in the engineering department of PT X, Sidoarjo

Work culture is closely related to the norms, beliefs, values, and attitudes formed in a company. One of the important work cultures owned by the company is the 5S culture or housekeeping whose application needs to be done as a form of self-protection of workers to stay safe in carrying out work activities so as to increase company productivity. PT X is one of the companies in Sidoarjo engaged in animal feed. The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth the implementation of the 5S work culture (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) in the Engineering Section of PT X, Sidoarjo. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach, namely by providing a description of the actual conditions related to the implementation of 5S in the company. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Based on the results of the study, the 5S work culture at PT X Engineering Section is still not optimally implemented. This is evident from the condition of the workplace that has not been well maintained, many unused items are in the workplace, and there are storage cabinets that are not labeled with information. The lack of awareness of workers regarding 3S habituation and the lack of supervision from management are inhibiting factors in implementing 5S optimally.

OPTIMIZING THE APPLICATION OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (K3) CULTURE IN THE LEARNING PROCESS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE

The implementation of OSH in the workplace is a necessity for companies or institutions that brings great benefits to all workers and is not felt as a burdensome burden but rather awareness of workers from the risk of materials. Indonesia still has a low level of work safety when compared to developed countries, this makes the risk and level of work accidents in Indonesia still high. This study aims to find solutions to the problems that hinder the application of OHS in mechanical engineering practice. This study uses a qualitative approach to describe the application of occupational safety and health in the mechanical engineering workshop, descriptive methods used in this study, in the form of interviews, observations, and documentation to collect the necessary data. SMK Negeri 2 Pengasih has included K3 planning as a guideline for implementing practical learning in the workshop. Teacher supervision and guidance in its application is quite good regarding the work to be done. However, OHS evaluation has not been fully conducted in practical learning at school. This is related to policy and improvement of evaluation development as a basis for implementing further learning. From the evaluation, shortcomings can be identified so that better planning can be made for workshop practice for students of SMK N 2 Pengasih.

KEJADIAN LUAR BIASA POLIOMIELITIS DI INDONESIA PADA TAHUN 2022-2023: SUATU TINJAUAN

Indonesia achieved polio eradication along with several other members of the Southeast Asia Regional Organization (SEARO) in 2014 because it succeeded in overcoming the disease caused by the wild polio virus. Unfortunately since then Indonesia has experienced several reported outbreaks. This literature review aims to analyze the factors causing the re-emergence of poliomyelitis in Indonesia after being declared polio-free in 2014 and effective steps to stop outbreaks and prevent the re-emergence of poliomyelitis. Awareness of health workers and the public regarding polio must be increased so that Indonesia and the world can soon be polio-free. The last two outbreaks occurred in Indonesia in 2022 and 2023. The first outbreak in 2022 was in Pidie Regency, Aceh, Indonesia. In response to the poliomyelitis outbreak, the government immediately launched a simultaneous vaccination program. Since then no cases of poliomyelitis have been found until another case was found in December 2023 in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. Once again, to respond to the poliomyelitis outbreak, the government held a simultaneous vaccination program in three districts, namely Pamekasan and Sampang, East Java and Klaten, Central Java. Followed after that by all regions in Central Java and East Java. It is expected that this quick response from the government can stop the outbreak again. The target of SubPIN (National Immunization Subweek) is to break the chain of transmission, so it must ensure that Outbreaks Response Immunization (ORI) coverage is high at least 95% and evenly distributed throughout the region. Apart from that, information to the public regarding the dangers of disease and the importance of complete vaccination to prevent disease must continue to be provided.

AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF VIRAL HEPATITIS PREVENTION AND TRANSMISSION IN HEALTHCARE WORKERS

The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of healthcare workers about the prevention and transmission of hepatitis B virus. The study was conducted in Nishtar Medical Hospital, Multan, from January 2023 to September 2023 and included 300 healthcare workers, such as doctors and nurses. The participants were asked to fill out a 50-question questionnaire designed to test their knowledge about hepatitis B. The questionnaire was in English, but assistance was provided if needed. The questions were related to the virus, behaviors, and medical practices when treating infected patients, and it took an average of 30 minutes to complete. The results showed that 74% of the healthcare workers knew the consequences and possible complications of acquiring HBV infection. Between 69% and 80% of the respondents answered correctly about the transmission routes. However, only 24% of the HCWs knew the age distribution of the infections and that neonates were at the highest risk of developing it through mother-to-child transmission. Respondents answered wrongly about transmission through food and cutlery with the infected (69%), through sneezing and coughing (81%), prevention of infection by thorough cleaning (50%), and not sharing food and cutlery with the infected (55%). Only half of the workers knew about disposing of needles and syringes correctly. The average knowledge score was 24 ± 5 with a median score of 24 (10-33). Respondents performed the worst when answering questions about CHB monitoring and treatment. In conclusion, this study found that the awareness and knowledge about hepatitis B prevention and transmission among healthcare workers in Pakistan is poor. Therefore, it is recommended to make training programs mandatory for professionals to improve disease management.

Assessment of Awareness, Attitude, and Consequences of Healthcare Waste Among Health Workers at Health Facilities In Southeast Nigeria

Healthcare waste which consists of waste materials generated at healthcare facilities is hazardous to both the environment and human life. However, many people are unaware of the dangers of medical wastes. Previous studies have neglected the assessment of the level of awareness and attitude of health workers toward healthcare waste. Therefore, this study assesses the level of awareness of healthcare workers about the dangers and their attitude toward the waste and its implications. The study, which employed cross-sectional design with 334 participants, was conducted in Southeast Nigeria. Data collection was through questionnaire and in-depth interview guide. Data analyzed through descriptive statistics revealed that the level of awareness of health workers about the dangers of healthcare waste is high; their attitude toward healthcare waste is poor; and that the consequences of mismanaged healthcare waste are devastating. Therefore, healthcare facilities should have a functional waste management policy, train their staff on ways of handling waste and educate the public about dangers of healthcare waste.

"Sickness has no time": Awareness and perceptions of health care workers on universal health coverage in Uganda.

Each person having access to needed health services, of sufficient quality, and without suffering financial hardship, defined as universal health coverage (UHC) by the World Health Organization, is critical to improve population health, particularly for vulnerable populations. UHC requires multisectoral collaboration and good governance, and this will require buy-in of key stakeholders; but their views are under-documented. The aim of this stakeholder analysis was to explore the awareness and perceptions of UHC by health care workers (HCWs) in Uganda. A mixed-methods study was conducted based on primary data from HCWs including an online QualtricsXM survey of 274 HCWs (from a database of persons who had received training at an academic institution), 23 key informant semi-structured interviews, and one eight-person focus group discussion. Data was collected from February to April 2022. Microsoft Excel and R Programme were used for quantitative analyses and NVivo version 12 for qualitative analyses. HCWs attributed a high level of importance to UHC in Uganda. Participants discussed national communication and management practices, organisational roles, health financing and power dynamics, health care demand and the impact of and learnings from COVID-19. Four main themes-each with related sub-themes-emerged from the interview data providing insights into: (1) communication, (2) organisation, (3) power, and (4) trust. There is a critical need for better communication of UHC targets by policymakers to improve understanding at a grassroots level. Results indicated that ensuring trust among the population through transparency in metrics and budgets, strong accountability measures, awareness of local cultural sensitivities, sensitisation of the UHC concept and community inclusion will be essential for a multisectoral roll out of UHC. Further provision of quality health services, a harmonisation of efforts, increased domestic health financing and investment of HCWs through fair remuneration will need to underpin the delivery of UHC.

Impact of the Offshore Oil and Gas Working Environment on the Mental Health and Safety Behaviour of Workers

Abstract The rate of work-related accidents is rising in the global Oil and Gas industry, with a significant contribution of human error driven primarily by unsafe behaviour in a hazardous and isolated work environment involving a unique mix of psychological and social risks. From this standpoint, the working environment could be the hidden hand that can negatively affect workers' behaviour, leading to errors. To mitigate the risks of accidents and incidents caused by unsafe behaviour, the potential impact of the working environment's psychosocial hazards, represented by remoteness and isolation, on workers' mental health, was investigated, and the associated influences on safety behaviour were assessed. The study proposed a research model in which characteristics of the offshore working environment negatively affect workers' mental health and safety behaviour. Stress, Anxiety and Depression were chosen to represent mental health disorders due to their significant prevalence among work-related mental illnesses as per recent reports of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and multiple other studies. The methods used included a review of relevant literature and the quantitative research approach, where data was obtained from a survey involving a sample of (409) Egyptian workers in the oil and gas industry. The descriptive analysis was employed, and the results, according to the study sample, indicated a "high" level of psychosocial hazards in the work environment. The results also revealed a "moderate" level of worker safety behaviour, which can be explained by significantly lower safety engagement and communication levels despite their high adherence to safety rules. Hence, the researcher recommends that industry regulators and operators initiate mental health interventions, including raising worker awareness, alleviating isolation, controlling high workloads, improving living conditions, providing adequate means of communication, reasonable privacy, and recreational facilities as the adoption of The approach can lay the foundation for safety and optimal performance for the oil and gas workforce.

이주민 취업자의 건강검진 참여와 인구사회학적 및 건강관련 특성과의 관계

Health examinations facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, contributing to the improvement of individuals’ health and the reduction of the burden on the nation's healthcare services. The purpose of this study was to identify the sociodemographic and health-related factors associated with participation in health examinations among migrant workers in South Korea. This study was a secondary data analysis study using data from the 2022 Gwangju city migrant health status survey. In this study, 243 employed migrants aged 20 years or older were selected as the study subjects. We used 18 variables and conducted logistic regression analyses to identify predictors for participation in health examinations. A total of 66.3% of the subjects participated in health examinations. The factors that influenced health examination participation were industry type (OR=3.99, 95% CI 1.50-10.63), monthly income (OR=4.09, 95% CI 1.48-11.32), and interest in health information (OR=3.27, 95% CI 1.26-8.50). Migrants who worked in agricultural, fishery, and construction industries, had a monthly income of less than 1.5 million won, and had low interest in health information were more likely to not participate in health examinations. To protect the health of migrant workers, institutional improvement is needed to supplement industrial safety regulations and supervision for small businesses in the agricultural, fishery, and construction industries, where migrants are concentrated. In addition, to raise the awareness of migrant workers about the importance of preventive health care, it is necessary to develop and utilize health information that is appropriate for their language and culture.

Comparing the safety awareness of workers on the virtual and real construction site using eye-tracking technology

Moral distress and moral sensitivity in clinical nurses.

Health care providers are expected to have a certain moral sensitivity (MS) to make an ethical assessment. Moral distress (MD) is a common phenomenon in nursing. It can negatively affect nurses physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MD and MS among nurses using a cross-sectional descriptive design. The study was conducted in two stages. The first stage was a methodological study that analyzed validity and reliability of the Measure of MD-Healthcare Professionals. The second stage was a descriptive- predictive analysis that investigated the relationship between MD and MS. The MD intensity and frequency scores of the participants were high and moderately high, respectively. There was no direct effect on the total score and frequency of MS and MD. However, a direct and significant negative effect of MS was seen on the intensity of MD. Based on the results of this study, MS should be considered as a measure in studies aimed at understanding MD among clinical nurses. Empowerment programs should be established to increase the awareness of health workers about ethical and moral situations and to support them to cope with the problems they experience in these areas.
