Breastfeeding failures frequently result in issues. Lack of information about proper breastfeeding technique is one of the issues that frequently arises in nursing women, leading to uncomfortable nipples when the infant does not suck the nipple down to the areola. According to the 2022 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey, 79.3 individuals had painful nipples. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how well breastfeeding practices work in relation to the prevalence of painful nipples among nursing moms at the South Bulango Community Health Center in 2025. This kind of study employs a cross-sectional, quantitative research approach. 47 nursing women who were chosen by accidental sampling served as the study's population and sample. There is a correlation between breastfeeding practices and the incidence of sore nipples at the South Bulango Health Center in 2025, according to the results of statistical testing using the chi-square test. The p value (0.000) is not greater than α (0.05), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. It is intended that the community, especially postpartum moms, would gain more understanding of the connection between breastfeeding methods and the prevalence of painful nipples in nursing moms.

Welfare for the poor is the most important topic in improving citizens. Islam as Ad-diin has offered several teachings for humans that apply universally with two dimensional characteristics, namely happiness and well-being in life in this world and in the hereafter. In the concept of the modern world, welfare is a condition where a person can fulfill basic needs, be it the need for food, clothing, shelter, clean drinking water as well as the opportunity to continue education and have adequate work that can support the quality of life so as to have a social status that leads to the same social status as other citizens. ZIS as an extension of the government in helping the needs of the poor with the aim of improving the welfare of the community who initially as zakat recipients turned into zakat givers, so that later the funds used will be evenly distributed and felt by the wider community. as well as purifying assets that may be accidentally mixed with assets that are forbidden for consumption. The urgency of ZIS in Sidowungu is one of the main elements of effective and efficient zakat management in order to realize the welfare of the community. As for the discussion of this article about the welfare pattern for the poor as the process of distributing ZIS funds in Sidowungu Village. The method used in this article is a quantitative approach. The subjects of this study were 165 poor people in Sidowungu Village, while the sample size was 65 poor people using probability sampling. The results of the study, processed using the PASW SPSS 23 for Windows program, showed that partial test results for H0 were rejected and H1 was accepted if the calculated t value was greater than the table t value or the sig value was less than 0.05. This means that the distribution of funds partially affected the welfare of the poor in Sidowungu Village. The magnitude of the influence between variables can be seen from the coefficient of determination of 0.079, meaning that 79.0% of the welfare of the poor in Sidowungu Village was influenced by the distribution of ZIS funds, while the remaining 21.0% was influenced by other variables not included in this study.

This study discusses the design and development of an automatic safety system for a wood cutting machine using Arduino Uno, a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, and a servo motor as the main components. The system is designed to automatically stop the movement of the wood cutting machine when human motion is detected around the cutting area, thereby minimizing the risk of work-related accidents. The research method includes hardware design, microcontroller programming, and system response testing using two types of test objects: the human body and a wooden block. The results show that the system operates according to the programmed logic. When the PIR sensor detects human motion, the servo motor stops and the red LED lights up as a danger indicator. In contrast, when no human motion is detected, the servo motor continues to move normally and the green LED remains on as a safe indicator. The system’s average response time is 0.6 seconds, indicating a fast and accurate performance. Therefore, the designed system is considered effective and can serve as a prototype of a simple safety tool to enhance operator safety in wood cutting machines.

Working at heights refers to performing tasks in elevated locations, which pose a risk of injury to workers in the event of a fall. To reduce the number of accidents caused by working at heights, one of the necessary steps is conducting hazard and risk assessments using the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method. JSA is an analytical method used to identify hazards at the workplace and find ways to reduce the risks of accidents. The purpose of this study is to assess the completeness of safety equipment for working at heights, to explain hazard identification, to analyze risks in building structure work, to determine criteria and hazard assessments, and to understand risk control in building structure, plumbing, and electrical work according to the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method in healthcare facility buildings in Semarang. The results of the study show that the risk level, calculated using the Risk Rating Number (RRN), for all potential hazards in structure, plumbing, and electrical work, reveals the following: for structure work, three hazards fall into the extreme category (43.84%), one hazard falls into the high category (16.44%), four hazards fall into the medium category (39.73%), and no hazards fall into the low category (0%); for plumbing work, three hazards fall into the extreme category (38.55%), one hazard falls into the high category (14.46%), five hazards fall into the medium category (46.99%), and no hazards fall into the low category (0%); and for electrical work, three hazards fall into the extreme category (44.74%), three hazards fall into the high category (31.58%), three hazards fall into the medium category (21.05%), and one hazard falls into the low category (2.63%).

A crane is a mechanical device used to move loads from one location to another, with gantry cranes being one of the most commonly used types in the industrial sector, particularly at container terminals. While offering numerous benefits, the use of gantry cranes also presents several risks, such as potential structural failure of the crane, falling loads due to damage to hooks or ropes, and collisions with other objects. Additionally, lifting loads beyond the crane’s capacity can lead to equipment damage and even fatal accidents caused by electric shocks or adverse weather conditions like strong winds and rain. This study aims to identify and minimize workplace accident risks by applying the SWIFT (Structured What-If Technique) method. This method identifies hazards through the "what if" approach and evaluates risks using the Risk Rating Number (RRN), which measures the severity and likelihood of potential hazards. The results of this study show that ARTG and STS gantry cranes have 25% of hazards in the priority one category, while RTG has 20% of hazards in the same priority. From these findings, it can be concluded that risk mitigation should be focused on the ARTG and STS types, which show higher risk proportions. The recommendations from this study are to enhance safety procedures, provide continuous training for operators, and conduct regular crane maintenance to reduce the potential for accidents. By implementing these mitigation measures, it is hoped that workplace safety will be maintained and the risk of workplace accidents at the Semarang Container Terminal can be minimized.

Work fatigue is one of the factors that contribute to decreased productivity and increased risk of occupational accidents. This study aims to analyze various factors associated with work fatigue among production workers at PT. X in 2025. The research employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 53 respondents selected using total sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires covering worker characteristics (age, nutritional status, medical history, smoking habits, years of service, and work stress) as well as levels of work fatigue. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The findings revealed that 56.6% of workers experienced high levels of fatigue. There were significant associations between age (p=0.023; PR=1.836), nutritional status (p=0.021; PR=1.786), medical history (p=0.025; PR=1.789), smoking habits (p=0.039; PR=1.706), years of service (p=0.015; PR=1.912), and work stress (p=0.032; PR=0.574) with work fatigue. The results indicate that workers who are at-risk age (≥35 years), have abnormal nutritional status, a history of illness, smoking habits, and longer years of service are more likely to experience work fatigue. However, high work stress showed a negative relationship, suggesting a protective effect against fatigue. In conclusion, there is a relationship between age, nutritional status, medical history, smoking habits, years of service, and work stress with work fatigue among production workers at PT. X.

A safe and healthy environment is crucial to minimizing accidents and occupational diseases, and this is where Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) comes in. Workers in the informal sector, such as online drivers, are more likely to experience musculoskeletal problems, especially low back pain (LBP), because they frequently lack proper occupational protection and health services. LBP is a complaint of lower back pain that can be brought on by extended periods of static sitting, bad posture, and personal characteristics like body mass index, smoking, and length of service. The purpose of this program is to educate online drivers in Malang City, East Java, and help them avoid LBP. The risk of LBP can be decreased in part by promoting physical activity and education. One recommended intervention is the William Flexion Exercise (WFE), an exercise aimed at improving posture, increasing muscle strength and flexibility, and reducing lower back pain. Implementing WFE education and training for online car drivers is anticipated to strengthen OHS awareness and reduce the incidence of LBP among informal sector workers.

The Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) methodology is a qualitative risk analysis technique commonly used to detect potential work hazards. CV. Suryadi Sentosa, also known as Bapak Suryadi's Home Tempe Industry, is a home-based business that produces tempeh. Almost all of the production procedures are still carried out manually, and occupational accident analysis measures have not been implemented. The factory conditions indicate inadequate lighting and ventilation, as well as relatively slippery floors. It is also observed that the industry workers do not pay much attention to their posture, and they do not use personal protective equipment (PPE). This research was conducted directly at the CV. Suryadi Sentosa Tempe Factory, using interviews and observations of seven workers involved in the production process. The steps taken in this study are compiling the sequence of the production process. By using a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) worksheet, identify potential risks, conduct risk control analysis, monitor and evaluate, implement improvements, and draw conclusions. The analysis found 9 stages of tempeh production at Mr. Suryadi's facility. Several improvements are needed, including involving several workers to handle soybean processing, creating ventilation to provide good and healthy air circulation for workers, adding lighting as a light source so that workers can perform their tasks comfortably, and using ergonomic chairs and work tables to prevent fatigue and increase factory productivity.

This research aims to analyze the risk factors of occupational accidents and identify effective prevention efforts within the context of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), specifically at Inkside Sablon. This qualitative study, employing a case study approach, utilized in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis for data collection. The findings indicate that occupational accident risk factors at Inkside Sablon are influenced by several aspects, including human factors such as lack of safety awareness and fatigue, environmental factors like inadequate ventilation and suboptimal lighting, and equipment factors such as non-ergonomic tools and insufficient maintenance. The prevention efforts implemented by Inkside Sablon are still partial and not well-structured, thus requiring the integration of more comprehensive safety programs, such as enhanced safety and health (OSH) training, provision of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and improvements in management and supervision systems. It is expected that the implementation of these measures will increase worker awareness and reduce the number of occupational accidents, thereby creating a safer and more productive work environment

The elderly is among the most vulnerable groups in society due to progressive biological decline that weakens physical resistance, making them prone to chronic diseases such as hypertension. Hypertension is one of the most common multifactorial disorders in older adults, and its severity may be influenced by anxiety, which stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and increases blood pressure. This study aimed to examine the relationship between anxiety levels and hypertension among the elderly in the working area of Andalas Health Center, Padang City. An analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 81 elderly participants diagnosed with hypertension, selected through accidental sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS) was employed as the research instrument, while data analysis used the Chi-square test. Results showed that the majority of respondents experienced mild anxiety (67 respondents, 82.7%) and uncontrolled hypertension (54 respondents, 66.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.534, indicating no significant association between anxiety levels and hypertension in the elderly population studied. These findings are consistent with several previous studies reporting that the relationship between anxiety and blood pressure in the elderly is often inconsistent, largely due to other risk factors including age, gender, low physical activity, comorbidities, and poor adherence to antihypertensive treatment. The implication of this study highlights the necessity of a holistic approach to hypertension management in the elderly, addressing not only psychological aspects but also lifestyle modification, treatment adherence education, and strengthening public health programs. Therefore, this research is expected to serve as input for health workers at community health centers to improve strategies for preventing and controlling hypertension in elderly populations.

Preventing accidents during drilling and well service operations is a constant and primary concern for every company or contractor operating in the upstream business. Accident analyses often identify a number of causative factors and/or anomalies, where equipment-related items play a significant role. This article concentrates on the rig inspection process as a consistent method for detecting equipment-related anomalies before operations commence. These inspections allow necessary repairs to be made in a timely manner, thereby limiting the occurrence of accidents after the rig becomes operational. When thorough and systematic rig inspections are performed, the percentage of accidents where equipment failure is the primary cause remains very low. However, the factor of equipment condition contributing to accidents still persists in a significant number of cases. Drilling rig mast inspection is a crucial component in maintaining the safety and efficiency of drilling operations. This inspection process aims to detect structural anomalies and equipment conditions that could affect rig performance. In this study, we analyze the inspection methods applied to rig masts, including visual inspection, non-destructive testing, and condition monitoring. The results of these inspections are expected to identify potential risks and enable necessary repairs before operations begin. Through the implementation of systematic and standardized inspection procedures, companies can reduce the likelihood of accidents and equipment failures, thereby enhancing workplace safety. This study also discusses the importance of training for inspection personnel to ensure they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to detect potential problems that may arise. Thus, drilling rig mast inspection contributes not only to safety but also to overall operational efficiency.

Each workplace has a different potential risk of work accidents depending on the type of industry, technology used, and risk control efforts undertaken by the company. Work accidents are generally caused by two main factors: unsafe acts by humans and unsafe working conditions. In this context, occupational safety and health (K3) is an important aspect that must be implemented in every company to protect workers from hazards that can cause losses, both physical and work productivity. Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower mandates that every worker has the right to occupational safety protection. This study focuses on UD. Fuad Las Jaya, a company engaged in construction and welding services. This company has a fairly high potential for work accidents considering the type of work performed. Based on employee attendance data in 2025, there is a level of discipline that can be related to working conditions and perceived safety. The severity of accidents is classified into three categories: light, moderate, and severe, which indicates the importance of implementing an effective K3 system. It is hoped that consistent awareness and implementation of K3 will create a safe, healthy, and productive work environment, as well as reduce the number of work accidents in the construction sector.

This study aims to investigate the influence of organizational culture, work motivation, and work environment on job satisfaction at X Group. The research focuses on understanding how these factors contribute to employees' overall satisfaction with their work. The sampling technique employed is Non-Probability Sampling, using the accidental sampling method, which selects respondents based on their availability and willingness to participate. The study’s sample consists of 30 respondents from a total population of 40 employees. Data analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis, with SPSS version 22 and Microsoft Excel 2019 as the software tools. The results of the study indicate that Organizational Culture (X1) has a non-significant effect on job satisfaction, meaning that the organizational culture at X Group does not substantially influence employees' job satisfaction. On the other hand, Work Motivation (X2) was found to have a significant effect on job satisfaction, suggesting that higher levels of motivation in the workplace lead to greater job satisfaction. Additionally, the Work Environment (X3) also showed a non-significant effect on job satisfaction, indicating that environmental factors within the company have a minimal impact on employees' overall satisfaction. The findings suggest that while organizational culture and work environment may play a role in job satisfaction, work motivation is the most influential factor. These results can help guide strategies to improve employee job satisfaction at X Group.

This research was conducted with the primary objective of examining and determining the effect of occupational safety, occupational health, and the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) on employee performance at UD. Berkah Mandiri, located in Kediri Regency. The background of this study is based on the importance of implementing OHS in the workplace as an effort to minimize the risk of accidents, improve employee well-being, and support overall company productivity. In today’s increasingly competitive industrial world, attention to occupational safety and health is a key factor that not only protects workers but also enhances organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The research method employed was a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population consisted of 56 employees, all of whom were taken as respondents through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire instrument constructed based on indicators of occupational safety, occupational health, OHSMS, and employee performance. The data were then analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 through validity and reliability tests, multiple regression analysis, and hypothesis testing both partially and simultaneously. The results of the analysis revealed that occupational safety has a significant effect on employee performance, indicating that the better the implementation of safety standards, the higher the performance achieved. Similarly, occupational health was found to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, suggesting that healthy working conditions contribute to higher motivation and work effectiveness. Furthermore, the OHSMS also significantly influenced employee performance, reflecting that proper policies, procedures, and supervision in OHS management create a safe and productive work environment. Collectively, the three variables—occupational safety, occupational health, and OHSMS—were proven to have a significant simultaneous effect on employee performance at UD. Berkah Mandiri. Thus, this study emphasizes that occupational safety, occupational health, and OHSMS are crucial factors that must receive serious attention in order to improve employee performance and support sustainable business continuity.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a systematic effort aimed at protecting workers from the risks of accidents and work-related diseases. The implementation of OHS integrated with risk management helps identify, evaluate, and control potential hazards effectively in the workplace. This study was conducted at PT. Sarana Sampit Mentaya Utama, Balikpapan Branch, a company engaged in asphalt production. The main objectives of this research were to identify potential hazards, determine appropriate control measures, and evaluate the role of the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method in supporting OHS. The research method used is JSA, which involves identifying each work step, determining the likelihood and severity of risks, and calculating the risk rating to assess the level of risk. The results showed that there are three potential hazards with a medium-risk category, namely in the activities of raw material mixing, quality control, and asphalt distribution. Additionally, three potential hazards with a low-risk category were found in the processes of raw material weighing, raw material transfer, and pump line valve opening. Recommended control measures to reduce risks include the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for each task, improving work facilities and infrastructure, and implementing proper load lifting procedures. The application of JSA has proven effective in raising the company's awareness of potential risks in the workplace. This has led to the implementation of better preventive measures, ultimately contributing to the creation of a safer, healthier, and more productive work environment. Therefore, the integration of OHS with risk management at PT. Sarana Sampit Mentaya Utama plays a significant role in safeguarding the safety and well-being of workers.

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of occupational safety and health (OHS) training, OHS compliance, and leadership style on the workplace accident rate among employees of PT. XYZ. Workplace accidents remain a significant problem in the industrial sector, thus this study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the factors that can reduce this risk. The research method used was a quantitative survey approach, where primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 40 respondents selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling method. The analysis techniques used in this study were descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software version 25. The use of regression analysis allows researchers to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results show that OHS compliance has a significant influence on the workplace accident rate. This confirms that compliance with occupational safety and health procedures can minimize the risk of accidents. Meanwhile, OHS training and leadership style did not show a significant influence on workplace accidents. This finding indicates that training programs and leadership style may not directly reduce workplace accidents unless they are consistently implemented and supported by strong compliance. Thus, OHS compliance is a key factor in creating a safe and productive work environment. This research provides a practical contribution for companies to focus safety management policies more on improving worker compliance with OHS regulations. Furthermore, the results of this study can serve as a reference for further research in different industrial contexts.

Stunting is a growth failure condition in toddlers caused by chronic malnutrition, particularly during the critical first 1,000 days of life. This condition is influenced by various factors, including maternal education and feeding practices. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal education level and feeding patterns with the incidence of stunting among toddlers in the working area of the Pekauman Community Health Center, Banjarmasin City. The research employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of mothers with toddlers, with 66 respondents selected through accidental sampling. Data collection was carried out using structured questionnaires and documentation studies related to children’s nutritional status. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods, with the Spearman Rho test applied at a 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed a significant relationship between maternal education level and stunting incidence (p = 0.009), suggesting that lower levels of maternal education were associated with higher stunting rates. Conversely, feeding patterns did not show a statistically significant relationship with stunting (p = 0.081), although descriptive data indicated that inappropriate feeding practices were common among respondents. The majority of mothers in this study had basic education (elementary to junior high school), and a considerable number of toddlers were found to be stunted. Based on these results, it can be concluded that maternal education level plays an essential role in influencing stunting, while feeding patterns require further investigation with larger samples. The study recommends strengthening nutrition education and counseling programs for mothers, particularly those with low educational backgrounds, alongside regular monitoring of child growth and development by health professionals. Additionally, government efforts to expand access to health and nutrition information through easily accessible media are expected to contribute to stunting prevention and reduction strategies.
