Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a global problem. In Indonesia, the prevalence of MSDs that disrupts activities reaches 9.2% in office workers with complaints of the neck by 68%, upper back 62%, and lower back 60%. In developing countries, MSDs are the most common occupational diseases found in 40-95% of lecturers. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia resulted in the government implementing work from home (WFH) which caused 66.3% of workers to experience musculoskeletal pain. This can be caused by not fulfilling sleep which is a physiological need. It was found that 41.9% of adults experienced sleep disturbances which affected the emergence of MSDs complaints. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep quality and musculoskeletal complaints. This is an analytical study using a cross-sectional design towards the lecturers and educational staff at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta. A sample size of 84 people was taken using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected online using the PSQI for sleep quality and NMQ for musculoskeletal. The data were analyzed using SPSS software.The results showed that the majority of respondents were female (54.8%), had poor sleep quality (94%), and experienced musculoskeletal complaints (73.8%). The results of the Fisher test showed a significant relationship between sleep quality and musculoskeletal complaints (p = 0.016; OR = 13.5). Conclusion: The low quality of sleep in lecturers and educational staff increase the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders.

Antiretroviral fixed-dose combination (FDC ARV) has been used in HIV patient therapy. The therapy is recommended to be monitored using a viral load (VL), reflecting the amount of HIV in the blood. Since 2015, the VL testing has been carried out at Pengayoman Cipinang Hospital. However, the evaluation of adherence to the FDC antiretroviral therapy on VL has never been conducted. This study aims to determine the relationship between the adherence level to the FDC ARVs and VL at Pengayoman Cipinang Hospital in 2015-2018. The study used a cross-sectional design and a random sampling technique. The sample size was 70, and data generated from the medical record. Kruskal Wallis test showed no differences in the level of adherence in the group based on gender, education level, marital status, employment status, and the risk factor for HIV. However, there was a significant difference in the age group. Cross-tab data showed virological failure (VL> 400 copies/ml) was found in 1.8% of patients with good adherence, 75% of patients with moderate adherence, and 100% of patients with poor adherence. The Chi-square test showed a significant relationship between adherence to FDC ARV and VL (p=0.000). It can be concluded that there was a significant relationship between the level of adherence in taking ARV FDC and viral load.
Low Back pain (LBP) merupakan sindroma klinis yang ditandai dengan nyeri pada regio punggung bawah dengan atau tanpa disertai nyeri tungkai. Pembatik berisiko mengalami LBP. McKenzie Exercise dan William’s Flexion Exercise merupakan back exercise yang mudah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan efektivitas McKenzie Exercise dan William‘s Flexion Exercise untuk menurunkan intensitas LBP pada pembatik. Penelitian menggunakan two-group pretest-posttest design. Sebanyak 20 orang pembatik di Kampung Batik Giriloyo dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Subjek penelitian dibagi menjadi dua, yaitu kelompok yang melakukan McKenzie Exercise dan kelompok yang melakukan William’s Flexion Exercise. Kedua kelompok melakukan latihan tersebut dengan frekuensi tiga kali seminggu selama dua minggu. Sebelum dan sesudah latihan, intensitas LBP diukur menggunakan Numeric Rating Scale. Uji Wilcoxon digunakan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbedaan intensitas LBP sebelum dan sesudah latihan. Uji Mann-Whitney digunakan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbedaan efektivitas McKenzie Exercise dan William’s Flexion Exercise dalam menurunkan intensitas LBP. Analisis data menunjukkan intensitas LBP pada kedua kelompok sebelum melakukan back exercise adalah 5 (4-6). Pada kelompok yang melakukan McKenzie Exercise maupun kelompok yang melakukan William’s Flexion Exercise didapatkan penurunan intensitas LBP menjadi 2 (1-3). Terdapat perbedaan intensitas LBP sebelum dan sesudah latihan pada kelompok McKenzie Exercise (p = 0,004) dan pada kelompok William Flexion Exercise (p = 0,004). Tidak ada perbedaan penurunan intensitas LBP antara kelompok McKenzie Exercise dan kelompok William’s Flexion Exercise (p = 0,328). Low Back Pain (LBP) is a clinical syndrome that consists of pain at the lower back region with or without limb pain. Batik workers were at risk of LBP. McKenzie Exercise and William’s Flexion Exercise are an easy back exercise. This study was aimed to compare the effectiveness of McKenzie Exercise and William’s Flexion Exercise for reducing LBP among batik workers. This study used a two-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 20 batik workers in Kampung Batik Giriloyo were selected by purposive sampling technique. The research subjects were divided into two, namely the group doing the McKenzie Exercise and the group doing the William’s Flexion Exercise. Both groups did the exercise three times a week for two weeks. Before and after the exercise, the intensity of LBP was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale. The Wilcoxon test was used to determine whether there were differences in LBP intensity before and after exercise. The Mann-Whitney test was used to determine whether there was a difference in the effectiveness of the McKenzie Exercise and William's Flexion Exercise in reducing LBP intensity. Data analysis showed LBP intensity in both groups before doing back exercise was 5 (4-6). In the group that did the McKenzie Exercise and the group that did the William’s Flexion Exercise, the LBP intensity decreased to 2 (1-3). There were differences in LBP intensity before and after exercise in the McKenzie Exercise group (p = 0.004) and the William’s Flexion Exercise group (p = 0.004). There was no difference in the decrease in LBP intensity between the McKenzie Exercise group and the William’s Flexion Exercise group (p = 0.328).
