Correlation of noise level exposure on the reaction time of workers at a manufacturing company in Bandung, Indonesia

Latar Belakang: Para pekerja sering kali terpaksa berhadapan dengan kebisingan tinggi ditempat kerja. Kebisingan mengganggu perhatian yang diperlukan terus-menerus dan menurunkan produktivitas kerja, oleh sebab itu pekerja yang melakukan pengamatan dan pengawasan terhadap satu proses produksi atau hasilnya, dapat membuat kesalahan akibat dari terganggunya konsentrasi dan kurang fokusnya perhatian. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pengukuran waktu reaksi cahaya dan suara untuk menilai fokus perhatian/konsentrasi. Metode: Studi analitik dengan desain komparatif cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada perusahaan manufaktur yang memproduksi benang nylon sintetik. Membandingkan rerata selisih waktu reaksi cahaya dan suara sebelum dan setelah bekerja dengan pajanan kebisingan pada kelompok subjek yang bekerja pada intensitas kebisingan di atas NAB (area braiding) dibandingkan dengan yang di bawah NAB (area waring), dimana sebelumnya dilakukan pengukuran intensitas tingkat kebisingan di kedua area tersebut. Hasil Penelitian: Perbedaan bermakna waktu reaksi cahaya yang melambat pada subjek yang bekerja dengan pajanan kebisingan di atas NAB sebelum dan setelah bekerja (p=0.007), namun tidak dengan waktu reaksi suara. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna waktu reaksi cahaya dan suara pada subjek yang bekerja dengan pajanan kebisingan di bawah NAB sebelum dan setelah bekerja. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna rerata selisih waktu reaksi cahaya yang melambat pada subjek yang bekerja pada pajanan kebisingan di atas NAB dengan di bawah NAB, p=0,017, namun tidak bermakna terhadap rerata selisih waktu reaksi suara. Kesimpulan: Terdapat perbedaan rerata selisih waktu reaksi cahaya pada pekerja yang bekerja dengan pajanan kebisingan di atas NAB dibandingkan dengan pekerja yang bekerja dengan pajanan kebisingan di bawah NAB, sehingga tingkat intensitas kebisingan tinggi (di atas NAB) mempengaruhi waktu reaksi cahaya dan menjadi lebih lambat. Kata Kunci: waktu reaksi cahaya; waktu reaksi suara; kebisingan   Abstract Background: Workers are often exposed to high noise level at their workplaces. Noise can disrupt the worker’s concentration and focus and in the end, may cause lower productivity. Thus, workers whose main job descriptions are to supervise workflow from one phase to another are prone to mistakes due to the loss of concentration and focus. In this research, we used reaction timer with light and sound stimuli to assess attention or concentration. Methods: The study was an analytical study with comparative cross sectional design, comparing a mean difference between light and sound reaction time before and after work. This research was conducted at a manufacturing company that produces synthetic nylon fibers. The subjects were divided into two groups; the workers with noise intensity above TLV (braiding’s area) and with noise intensity below TLV (waring’s area). Prior to the study, the research has measured the intensity of the noise level in the workplace area. Result: A significant difference was found in the light’s reaction time who work with noise exposure above TLV (p= 0.007) and it was found to be slower after work with the workers who are exposed to noise above TLV. There was also a significant mean difference for the light’s reaction time between the above TLV noise group and below TLV noise group (p = 0.017). There was no significant difference in sound reaction time. Conclusion: There was a significant mean difference in light reaction time for the workers who work with noise exposure above TLV compare with the workers who work in below TLV, so that high intensity of noise level is found to affect and decrease the light reaction time of the workers.  Keywords: light’s reaction time, sound’s reaction time, noise

Results: The median NIHSS score decreased on 24 h and 7 d post-thrombolysis. 33.3% patients experienced a reduction of NIHSS score ≥4 on 24 h post thrombolytic therapy. On day 7 following thrombolysis, 57.4% patients had a good clinical outcome. On day 30 follow-up, 55.6% patients had a good functional outcome. Conclusion: Thrombolysis using 0.6 mg/kg intravenous alteplase within 6 h of onset is effective for acute ischemic stroke patients

Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants

Background Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. Methods We used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30–79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blood pressure treatment. We defined hypertension as having systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or greater, or taking medication for hypertension. We applied a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and the proportion of people with hypertension who had a previous diagnosis (detection), who were taking medication for hypertension (treatment), and whose hypertension was controlled to below 140/90 mm Hg (control). The model allowed for trends over time to be non-linear and to vary by age. Findings The number of people aged 30–79 years with hypertension doubled from 1990 to 2019, from 331 (95% credible interval 306–359) million women and 317 (292–344) million men in 1990 to 626 (584–668) million women and 652 (604–698) million men in 2019, despite stable global age-standardised prevalence. In 2019, age-standardised hypertension prevalence was lowest in Canada and Peru for both men and women; in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and some countries in western Europe including Switzerland, Spain, and the UK for women; and in several low-income and middle-income countries such as Eritrea, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Solomon Islands for men. Hypertension prevalence surpassed 50% for women in two countries and men in nine countries, in central and eastern Europe, central Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. Globally, 59% (55–62) of women and 49% (46–52) of men with hypertension reported a previous diagnosis of hypertension in 2019, and 47% (43–51) of women and 38% (35–41) of men were treated. Control rates among people with hypertension in 2019 were 23% (20–27) for women and 18% (16–21) for men. In 2019, treatment and control rates were highest in South Korea, Canada, and Iceland (treatment >70%; control >50%), followed by the USA, Costa Rica, Germany, Portugal, and Taiwan. Treatment rates were less than 25% for women and less than 20% for men in Nepal, Indonesia, and some countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Control rates were below 10% for women and men in these countries and for men in some countries in north Africa, central and south Asia, and eastern Europe. Treatment and control rates have improved in most countries since 1990, but we found little change in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Improvements were largest in high-income countries, central Europe, and some upper-middle-income and recently high-income countries including Costa Rica, Taiwan, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Turkey, and Iran. Interpretation Improvements in the detection, treatment, and control of hypertension have varied substantially across countries, with some middle-income countries now outperforming most high-income nations. The dual approach of reducing hypertension prevalence through primary prevention and enhancing its treatment and control is achievable not only in high-income countries but also in low-income and middle-income settings

Modification of Calgary-Cambridge Observation Guide, a more simplified and practical communication guide for daily consultation practice

Latar belakang: The Calgary-Cambridge Observation Guides (CCOG) adalah panduan yang telah digunakan di banyak negara untuk menilai keterampilan Komunikasi Dokter-Pasien. Panduan terdiri dari 56 poin yang terbagi dalam enam kategori dan menggambarkan proses konsultasi rutin, ditambah 15 poin opsional dalam memberikan penjelasan dan perencanaan. Karena panduan ini terdiri atas poin yang jumlahnya cukup banyak, sangat tidak praktis untuk menggunakannya dalam praktik konsultasi sehari-hari. Oleh karena itu, versi yang lebih sederhana dan praktis akan memberikan manfaat yang lebih besar. Metode: Tujuh orang ahli dari berbagai latar belakang kepakaran klinis dan komunikasi dokter pasien diminta mengevaluasi dan menganalisis 56 poin CCOG berdasarkan tingkat kepentingan dalam praktik sehari-hari. Dua putaran Delphy digunakan dalam penelitian ini, putaran pertama untuk mengevaluasi tingkat kepentingan, dan putaran kedua untuk mengevaluasi poin-poin yang memiliki kesamaan makna sehingga dapat digabungkan. Hasil dari dua putaran itu kemudian disirkulasikan kembali kepada semua anggota tim ahli untuk mendapatkan konfirmasi versi modifikasi akhir dari CCOG tersebut. Hasil: Versi modifikasi terakhir dari CCOG yang terdiri dari 35 titik telah terbentuk. Langkah pertama proses konsultasi yaitu Memulai sesi terdiri dari 5 poin (awalnya 7 poin). Langkah Mengumpulkan Informasi terdiri dari 5 poin (awalnya 11 poin), Menyediakan Struktur 3 poin (awalnya 4 poin), Membangun Hubungan 7 poin (awalnya 10 poin), Penjelasan dan Perencanaan 11 poin (awalnya 20 poin), dan Menutup Sesi terdiri dari 4 poin. Versi CCOG yang dimodifikasi tetap komprehensif, namun lebih praktis untuk latihan sehari-hari. Kesimpulan: Modifikasi versi CCOG dapat digunakan sebagai panduan praktis sederhana untuk menilai Komunikasi Pasien Dokter dalam praktik konsultasi sehari-hari. Kata Kunci: The Calgary-Cambridge Observation Guide, Komunikasi Dokter Pasien, Modifikasi  Abstract Background: The Calgary-Cambridge Observation Guides (CCOG) is a guide that is widely used to assess Doctor-Patient Communication. The guide consists of 56 points divided into 6 categories that describe a routine consultation process, plus 15 optional points in giving explanation and planning. Due to its quite numerous points, it is quite impractical to use the guide in daily consultation practice. Therefore, a more simplified and more practical version would be favourable. Method: Seven experts from different background evaluated and analyzed the 56 points of CCOG based on the level of importance in daily practice. Two rounds of Delphy were used in the study, the first round to evaluate level of importance, and the second to obtain the possibilities to join items that may have similar meaning. The result of the two rounds was then recirculated to all members of the team for confirmation of the final modified version of CCOG. Result: A final modified version of CCOG consisting of 35 points was formed. The first step of a consultation process, Initiating the session consists of 5 points (originally 7 points). Gathering information step consists of 5 points (originally 11 points), Providing structure of 3 points (originally 4 points), Building relationship of 7 points (originally 10 points), Explanation and Planning of 11 points (originally 20 points), and Closing the Session consisting of 4 points. The modified CCOG version is still comprehensive, yet more practical for daily practice. Conclusion: Modified version of CCOG can be used as a simple, practical guide to assess Doctor Patient Communication in daily consultation practice.
