Health status of workers are crucial to maintain their productivity and it will impact on output per capita. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition and health intervention in workplace setting and implication for further research. Articles were searched from PubMed, PMC, Cochrane Library (Trial), Science-direct, and Google scholar published from 2005-2020. Inclusion criteria was the intervention subject aged 19-64 years old with experimental randomized control trial (RCT) or non-RCT study design. Several keywords used for literature searching including “nutrition education in workplace”, “nutrition intervention in workplace”, and “workplace intervention”. Data were narratively described. Eleven studies were meet inclusion and exclusion criteria and further be reviewed. Five studies focused on intervene food environment in the workplace, four studies focused on nutrition education using different channels i.e., workplace visiting and emails, the other two interventions were objected to decrease health risk regarding occupational health. Positive outcomes were recorded for all workplace intervention, including increase in nutrition knowledge, self-efficacy, reduce risky behavior, and also improved body mass index and blood biomarkers. Workplace nutrition and health intervention proved to be an effective way to enhanced balanced nutrition behavior and improve health status. This study implies an urgency of nutrition and health intervention in a workplace.
Maternal and Child Health (MCH) service for female worker from before the pregnancy until the first day of a child's life needs to be done because of so many risks that the worker will face. Accompaniment is done to determine the health condition of the worker and the health of the fetus (infant). The purpose of this study was to provide an overview about characteristics of the maternal and child health service of female workers with maternal and child health status in Indonesia.The design of this study was observational descriptive. The study was conducted on female workers in industrial area with 500 respondents. This study variables were included marital status, age of first pregnancy, pregnancy examination, personnel who assisted the process of pregnancy check up until maternity process, the place of maternity, pregnancy disorder, miscarriage / abortus, exclusive breastfeeding and immunization. Data collection techniques in the form of filling questionnaires either in direct interview or not. The results showed that 66.6% of female workers married at the age of 17-25 years. 67.2% were pregnant at the age of 20-27 years. 56.6% of female workers performed monthly pregnancy checkups. 67% of pregnancy checks performed by midwives. 43.05% stated that delivery was done at midwife's home. 31.7% of female workers experienced pregnancy disorders. 47.7% of workers provided exclusive breastfeeding. 99% of workers have provided basic immunization. The Maternal and Child Health service that have been received are good enough but the health promotion and provision of MCH service should be done in the company.
Introduction: Heat stress is a physical hazard and a potential health risk which can result in various conditions ranging from discomfort, headaches, psychological disorders, heat stroke and even death in extreme cases. Factors which cause heat stress include high ambient temperature, limited air movement, strenuous physical work and direct exposure to the heat of the engine/ sun. Continuous heat stress, exacerbated by dehydration, can lead to kidney disease. This study is a literature review conducted to explore factors that influence heat stress and the relationship of heat stress with acute kidney disease and chronic kidney disease. Methods: Literature search was conducted in September 2021. Research sources were taken from several databases, namely Science Direct, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar. From the databases, 23,316 articles were from Science Direct, 140,319 articles were from ProQuest, 670 articles were from PubMed, and 288,000 articles were from Google Scholars. Out of the total database only 24 articles met the inclusion criteria. The variables in this study were heat stress, acute kidney disease, and chronic kidney disease. Results: This literature review shows that several factors which can affect heat stress are heat exposure, workload, rehydration, and rest period arrangements. Heat stress experienced by workers can cause decreased kidney function and chronic kidney disease. Heat stress conditions that are continuously experienced by workers can cause chronic kidney disease. Conclusion: Heat stress can be experienced by workers due to heat exposure, heavy workload, poor rehydration, and poor rest period arrangements. Heat stress can cause acute kidney disease and chronic kidney disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
