Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a type of occupational disease caused by repetitive movements and awkward positions that persist for long periods so that the median nerve in the hand becomes depressed. Therefore, it can lead to numbness, tingling, and pain. One job that does much static activity with repetitive movements is a tailor. This study aims to investigate the correlation between work type the CTS incidence in tailors in the area of Garment Factory in the field. This study was a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional study design. The sample in this study was 54 tailors and data collection using questionnaires to see repetitive movements and awkward postures on the hands and Phalen's test to find out complaints of CTS. The results showed that types of work did not correlate with complaints of CTS (p = 0.72), but repetitive movements correlated with complaints of CTS (p = 0.017) and that the awkward posture of hands correlated with CTS complaints (p = 0.018). Key words: CTS, Garment Factory, Repetitive motion.

Low back pain is an occupational disease that arises due to work relationships or is caused by work and work attitudes. Incorrect sitting posture and sitting for long periods are one of the most frequent risk factors. The study was conducted to determine the relationship between sitting posture and work duration with complaints of low back pain in-office employees. The research design used is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples was 70 employees of the Central Kalimantan Provincial Health Office using the total sampling technique. The research data was taken using a questionnaire. The results of respondents who complained of low back pain were 12 people (17.1%), and 9 of them related to the wrong sitting position (81.8%) with a p-value of 0.000, and the wrong sitting posture was 84 times greater for suffering from lower back pain compared to the correct sitting posture. The duration of work (long sitting) did not have a relationship with complaints of back pain (p = 0.974). There is a significant relationship between the respondent's sitting attitude to the incidence of low back pain, and there is no significant relationship between work duration (length of sitting) and the incidence of low back pain in employees at the Central Kalimantan Provincial Health Office.

The objective of the study was to measure the Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) 24-72 hours post-vaccination and its effect at three months after vaccination. An online survey was distributed to 1574 subjects who received the first dose, and 530 respondents (response rate 33.6%) who answered the questionnaire were sent the form again for the second dose, and 249 subjects responded (response rate 46.9%). From the first dose: 322 female (60.9%), 207 male (39.1%). There were 22 respondents who had fever on the first day and only five respondents on the second day. In addition, 147 (27.8%) felt pain in the injection site, nausea 30 respondents (5.7%), vomiting six persons, bloating 35 respondents (6.6%), and diarrhea ten respondents (1.9%). Fifty-nine respondents who got mild adverse events did nothing to ease their adverse events, 18 respondents took self-medication, 15 respondents consulted the doctors in the vaccination site. Only one respondent went to the nearby hospital for further therapy. Results from the second dose: As many 249 respondents (131 female, 108 male) answered respondents. The AEFI's pattern was quite the same as the first dose.
