Title: Anemia in Pregnancy and Low Birth Weight Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Kalijambe Authors: Surya, Sang Sanggita; Jamil, Nur Aisyah; Cahyanti, Dwi; Rahma, Aulia; S, Amalia Adityas D.; Dewi, Tika Minawati Abstract: Pregnant women and infants were a vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pan-demic. This research aimed to determine anemia in pregnancy and Low Birth Weight (LBW) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyze their asso-ciated factors. This was a cross-sectional study used secondary data from maternal and child health records in Kalijambe Public health center, Sragen. A total of 1169 birth records from the period of 2019-2020 were collected. The chi-square and logistic regression were used to analyze the differences and significant associated factors. The prevalence of anemia in pregnancy increased from 38.33% in 2019 to 49.21% in 2020 (p=0.013). However, the LBW proportion decreased from 7.26% in 2019 to 6.02% in 2020 (p=0.415). Mother who suffered from chronic energy deficiency marked by Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) < 23.5 cm was higher risk of anemia (aOR 1.86;95%CI 1.13-3.08). Considering the gestational age when the hemoglobin (Hb) test, anemia was more likely to be found at the second (aOR 2.59;95%CI 1.37-4.86) and third trimester (aOR 6.97;95%CI 3.98-12.20). High-risk pregnancy had higher odds of LBW (aOR 8.57;95%CI 1.65-44.37), while anemia showed no effect on LBW (aOR 1.80;95% CI 0.34-9.45). These results were adjusted for mothers’ age, parity, abortus, infection during pregnancy, high-risk pregnancy, MUAC, preterm birth, and gestational age. COVID-19 pandemic in-creased the prevalence of anemia in pregnancy but had no impact on LBW. Several factors for anemia and LBW were significantly associated. This finding suggests the need for early risk detection and routine, standardized, and comprehensive antenatal care.

Title: Application of Clean and Healthy Lifestyle in Household Management of Coastal Communities Authors: Tulak, Grace Tedy; Yuhanah; Sangkala, Mohammad Syafar Abstract: The coastal area needs special attention regarding the health management for the people living there. Wowa Tamboli Village, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Su-lawesi is one of the coastal areas that need attention in terms of health, espe-cially for people who live in unhealthy houses. This study aimed to investigate the application of clean and healthy lifestyle in household management of coastal community. This type of research was descriptive with a total sampling technique of 354 households. The research instrument used a questionnaire consists of respondents characteristic and ten indicators of clean and healthy lifestyle. The results showed that the community had properly implemented clean and health lifestyle on indicators of exclusive breastfeeding, using clean water, washing hands with clean water and soap, eradicating house larvae, eating fruits and vegetables every day, and doing physical activity every day. However, it was still found that the head of the family has not fully imple-mented a clean and healthy lifestyle because the birth process was still as-sisted by traditional birth attendants (3.40%), who did not weigh the infant and toddler because of distance from health services (2.50%) and there were community members who still smoke in the house (25.40%). The application of a clean and healthy lifestyle in households is good in 7 indicators. However, 3 indicators are still lack of application.

Title: Environmental Health Risk Analysis of Dust Exposure on Employees in PT. Cassia Co-op Indonesia in Jambi Authors: Guspianto; Thursina, Intan Tri; Putri, Fitria Eka Abstract: The dust has a negative impact that can affect workers’ health. This study aimed to analyze the environmental health risks of dust exposure on workers at PT. Cassia Co-op Indonesia in Jambi. Descriptive quantitative research was conducted using an Analisis Risiko Kesehatan Lingkungan (ARKL) approach, including analysis of hazard identification, dose re-sponse, exposure assessment, and risk characteristics. 61 respondents from the production division were selected as samples with a dispropor-tionate stratified random technique. Data was collected using a question-naire and Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) concentration from com-pany’s secondary data. The results of measuring dust levels at 2 (two) points obtained a concentration value that was still below the threshold, but 77% of respondents experienced health problems related to TSP dust. The real-time intake value of TSP exposure of workers was not at risk of health problems (RQ<1) at both measurement points, and the intake lifespan value of TSP exposure was at risk of health problems (RQ>1) for all workers in the 15th year at point 1. It is recommended for companies to conduct regular health checks on workers, provide PPE and apply the standard use of PPE, make rules that prohibit smoking while working, and increase the location and frequency of testing for TSP dust levels in the company.

Title: Bowtie Method: Study of Occupational Health and Safety Risks in Cement Production Process Authors: Putri, Ezmeyralda; Lestari, Mona; Novrikasari; Andarini, Desheila; Camelia, Anita; Fujianti, Poppy; Nurhaliza, Titi Abstract: The kiln area is an area that has a very complex hazard potential in the cement production process. This study aimed to assess the risks of occupational safety and health during the production process in the kiln area of PT. X uses the bowtie method. This study used a qualitative descriptive design. The informants used were three managers of the clinker production department, one safety manager, and one field operator. Research data were collected through interviews and observations. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the bowtie method. The study results stated that hot dust could be dangerous if it comes out of the system caused by positive pressure, such as the Induced Draft Fan (IDF) turning off, causing losses such as burns to workers. Heat can be dangerous if it experiences a significant increase due to excess fuel, causing losses, such as health-related illnesses. Preventive controls were carried out such as routine inspections. Mitigation controls were carried out such as light signals. Escalation factors can thwart hot dust and heat control, such as the deformation of raw meals. Escalation factor control, such as the implementation of work instructions. PT. X has carried out control in the kiln area, but additional controls are needed.
