HUBUNGAN PENCAHAYAAN, SCREEN TIME DAN MASA KERJA DENGAN COMPUTER VISION SYNDROM PADA ADMIN PT X BATAM TAHUN 2026

Krismadies — 2026-10-01

Background: Intensive computer use among administrative workers increases exposure to visual ergonomic factors that may contribute to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Workplace illumination, duration of computer use, and length of employment are important factors to consider in preventing occupational visual complaints. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between illumination intensity, duration of computer use, length of employment, and CVS complaints among administrative workers at PT. X in Batam City. Methods: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 31 administrative workers. Workplace illumination intensity was measured using a lux meter, while the duration of computer use and length of employment were obtained from respondent data. CVS complaints were assessed using the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q). Bivariate associations were analyzed using Fisher's exact test at a significance level of α=0.05. Results: A total of 77.4% of respondents worked under illumination levels below the occupational standard, 38.7% used computers continuously for ≥120 minutes, 61.3% had worked for ≥5 years, and 80.6% experienced CVS. All respondents exposed to illumination below the standard experienced CVS. A statistically significant association was found between workplace illumination and CVS complaints (p<0.001). In contrast, the duration of computer use (p=0.059) and length of employment (p=0.653) were not significantly associated with CVS complaints. Conclusion: Workplace illumination was significantly associated with CVS complaints among administrative workers, whereas the duration of computer use and length of employment showed no statistically significant associations. Improving workplace illumination according to applicable standards and implementing visual ergonomic measures are recommended to prevent CVS among computer-based workers.

PERUBAHAN PENGETAHUAN DAN KECEMASAN PASIEN ANESTESI SPINAL BERBASIS LEAFLET: STUDI PRETEST-POSTTEST DI RS HJ. BUNDA HALIMAH KOTA BATAM

Indra Nur Hidayat — 2026-10-01

ABSTRACT

Background: Surgical procedures often cause anxiety. Anxiety can stem from uncertainty about the outcome and unfamiliarity with the procedure, which can impact physiological stability. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of pre-anesthesia education on patient knowledge and anxiety levels.

Method: A single-group pretest-posttest approach was used for a pre-experimental design in 41 patients undergoing spinal anesthesia surgery at Hj. Bunda Halimah Hospital, Batam City. Leaflets were used before and after pre-anesthesia education to measure knowledge and anxiety levels. These data were then analyzed univariately and bivariately.

Results: Statistical test results showed that before the instruction, most respondents had poor knowledge (56.1%) and moderate anxiety (58.5%). However, after the pre-anesthesia instruction via paper sheets, the level of good knowledge increased to 73.2% and anxiety decreased, with the majority of respondents in the not anxious category (58.5%).

Conclusion: Pre-anesthesia education using leaflets is effective in increasing knowledge and reducing anxiety. Leaflets can be used as a simple, practical, and efficient educational method in healthcare

KORELASI USIA, KADAR LEUKOSIT, DAN KADAR ALBUMIN TERHADAP LUARAN INFEKSI LUKA OPERASI PADA PASIEN PASCA AMPUTASI MAYOR

Darul Ilham — 2026-10-01

Surgical site infection (SSI) following major amputation is a serious complication with a global incidence of 7-30%, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus. Major risk factors include advanced age, hypoalbuminemia, and uncontrolled diabetes, with dominant pathogens E. coli and S. aureus. This analytical observational study aimed to describe the profile of SSI patients post-major amputation and identify risk factors at RSU dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh from October-November 2023. Secondary data from 46 medical records of patients meeting inclusion criteria (SSI post-major amputation) were excluded if incomplete, and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with Spearman correlation test (P<0.05). Results showed most patients aged 56-65 years (37.0%), with leukocyte levels >10.0 × 10³/mm³ in 71.7%, Escherichia coli bacterial culture (41.3%), moderate infection severity (50.0%), and low albumin levels (60.9%). Significant correlations were found between age and albumin levels with SSI occurrence (P<0.05). Conclusion: Advanced age and hypoalbuminemia correlate with SSI following major amputation. Recommendations for future research include evaluation of prophylactic antibiotics, operative duration, and prevention strategies.
