Despite legal and safety issues, skin-lightening cosmetic products—including hazardous mercury-containing cosmetics—are in increasing demand in Indonesia. Perceptions of beauty may result in desires to have lighter skin tones, regardless of the safety of these cosmetics, which block the production of melanin and thus lighten skin tone. This study investigated Hg exposure of students using skin-lightening cosmetics and assessed the health issues. A total of 105 female students were given a questionnaire regarding their use of cosmetics; a further 43 students formed a non-cosmetic-user control group. Their scalp hair and cosmetic products were analyzed by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) spectroscopy. The geometric-mean hair Hg concentration for the cosmetics-using students was 6.7 µg g−1—three times that of the control group (2.3 µg g−1). Of twenty-seven cosmetic samples were analyzed, twenty had Hg concentrations of 0.12–7834.4 µg g−1 (mean 554.6 µg g−1), and seven had no detectable Hg. The hair Hg concentrations exhibited a statistically significant correlation with cosmetic Hg concentration. The health assessments indicated only rigidity & ataxia and irregular eye movement were prevalent in the cosmetic-using students with less than 7% occurrences.
Motivasi adalah sebuah dorongan yang muncul dari dalam diri seseorang yang akan mengarahkan tindakan seseorang dengan tujuan mencapai suatu hasil yang diinginkan. Keluhan perawat akan kondisi pekerjaan dan tidak adanya penghargaan atas hasil kerja kadang sebagai pemicu rendahnya motivasi kerja dari sekian banyak penyebab yang mengakibatkan rendahnya tingkat motivasi kerja perawat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan motivasi perawat, khususnya di bagian rawat inap Rumah Sakit Khusus Daerah Kota Makassar. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional study, menggunakan uji Chi Square yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara variabel dependen dan variabel independen. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebesar 64 perawat bagian rawat inap dengan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Tidak ada hubungan antara upah, kesempatan untuk maju, lingkungan kerja dan pengakuan atas prestasi terhadap motivasi perawat. Hasil uji statistik dengan menggunakan chi-square diperoleh nilai p, masing-masing p=0.763, p=1.00, p=0.615, dan p=0.774. Tingkat motivasi perawat kurang sebesar 57.8%, dan perawat dengan motivasi cukup sebesar 42.2%. Tidak adanya hubungan antara upah, kesempatan untuk maju, lingkungan kerja, dan pengakuan atas prestasi dengan motivasi perawat bagian rawat inap. Diharapkan kepada pimpinan rumah sakit agar supaya memberikan perhatian terhadap keluhan-keluhan perawat yang ada di rumah sakit agar motivasi kerja perawat dalam memberikan pelayanan keperawatan kepada pasien lebih baik kedepannya, dan bagi pihak rumah sakit agar supaya memberikan penghargaan yang lebih kepada perawat.
Every day more than 830 mothers die from diseases related to pregnancy and childbirth, 99% of maternal mortality rate (MMR) occurs in developing countries and in poor communities. Risk factors for 75% of maternal deaths are caused by severe postpartum bleeding, postpartum infections, high blood pressure during pregnancy (eclampsia), prolonged / obstructed labor which caused by narrow pelvic, or the baby breech location. Maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is 305 which is the highest in ASEAN countries (SUPAS 2015). The aim of this research was to obtain indepth information about knowledge and perceptions of Bajo women towards high risk pregnancies, since one factor that often causes late delivery of labor in risky pregnancies is mother's lack of knowledge in recognizing risky pregnancies. This was a qualitative study with phenomenological approach, 13 Bajo women were interviewed during this research. Results shows that Bajo women did not consider that some characteristics of risky pregnancies as a problem which could be a danger sign of pregnancy and childbirth. They assumed that high blood pressure (eclampsia), mothers with small and short pelvic is a normal condition for pregnancy and labor and so that they could still give birth normally. Their perception is formed based on empirical experience that they see from their daily lives, where in their society there are some women who have risky pregnancy signs but still able to give birth normally without any troubles or experiencing significant health problems until now. Due to this society perception and lack of knowledge related to pregnancy risk factors, most of Bajo women still entrust "shaman" as their helper during pregnancy and childbirth compared to midwives or health workers. The active role of midwives in providing counseling and education to Bajo society is necessary to overcome this problem so that pregnant women could recognize and identify risky pregnancies better.
Berdasarkan data yang didapatkan pada saat observasi dan pengambilan data awal terdapat data pada tahun 2019 terkait pasien safety di RSUD Lamadukelleng Sengkang, dalam penerapan patient safety sudah terlaksana dengan baik tetapi masih ada indikator yang masih kurrang dalam penerapannya seperti pada pelaksanaan kepatuhan S-BAR dan TBAK pada Rekam Medis didapatkan data 52,23% dan yang tidak melakukan 47,77%. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan desain studi cross sectional study. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan sasaran penerapan patient safety pada perawat diruang rawat inap RSUD Lamadukelleng Sengkang. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah perawat yang ada diruang rawat inap berjumlah 116 orang, penarikan sampel dari populasi ini menggunakan tehnik non probability sampling di dapatkan dari rumus Slovin 90 sampel, tehnik analisis data yaitu analisis univariat dan bivariat. Hasil analisis uji chi-square dengan α=0,05 menunjukkan bahwa nilai p-value untuk pengetahuan perawat p=0,181, sikap perawat p=1.000, fasilitas p=0,382 terhadapan penerapan sasaran patient safety. Kesimpulannya adalah tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan ,sikap dan fasilitas terhadap penerasapn sasaran patiet safety . sarannya adalah perawat perlu memerhatikan setiap indikator sasaran patient safety dalam penerapannya, dan perawat lebih berhati-hati dalam penanganan pasien sehingga tidak terjadi kesalahan yang berakibatkan risiko.
