Elderly population is increasing, while the world has been facing the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which causes a greater adverse impact among older population in various aspects of their lives, such as depression, daily routine disruption, illness, and social and emotional issues. The purpose of this study was to assess the elderly’s depression during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the risk factors including socio-demographic, physical and psychosocial conditions, as well as family support. The method used was cross-sectional design, with a total sampling of 457 participants. The measuring instruments used were ADL (Activities of Daily Living Scale) and IADL (Lowton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale) for physical activities assessment, APGAR (Adaptability, Participation, Growth, Affection, Resolution) for family support function assessment, and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) for depression level measurement, with additional questions for psychosocial assessment. 212 elderlies (46.4%) were found with no depression tendency, 183 elderlies (40%) had a tendency of depression, and 62 elderlies (13.6%) had depression. These depression issues were significantly linked to retirement and income among elderly, dependency, fitness and health status, family and social support, and sources of funds. In the presence of depression, control measures for social, health, and psychosocial support must be implemented in order to minimize its impact among the elderly.

Ergonomics Intervention Study of the RULA/REBA Method in Chemical Industries for MSDs’ Risk Assessment

The objective of this study was to provide an overview of the equipment supporting Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). The review adopted a five-stage methodological framework that included research question identification, relevant study identification and selection, and data charting, collating, summarizing, and reporting. We conducted reviews to analyze the current research on the design of KMC-supporting devices. Publications were identified from January 2008 to July 2020. Using the inclusion criteria, 17 relevant studies were identified that concerned the design of supporting equipment for KMC. Five types of equipment improved the comfort of the mothers performing KMC, another five monitored the health and development of the infants, and four served as therapy for the infants. Three equipment types showed no significant effect in supporting KMC. This study provides information on equipment that effectively and efficiently improves the quality of KMC.

Kematian dan cedera akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas telah menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di seluruh dunia termasuk Indonesia. Di lingkungan Universitas Indonesia, setiap tahun terjadi peningkatkan kejadian kecelakaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat hubungan antara persepsi risiko keselamatan berkendara dengan perilaku penggunaan sabuk keselamatan pada mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan semi kuantitatifdan desain penelitian potong lintang. Partisipan adalah 98 mahasiswa Universitas Indonesia di Kampus Depok, berusia 18 - 25 tahun yang mengendarai kendaraan sendiri. Faktor internal yang membentuk persepsi risiko keselamatan berkendara secara bermakna adalah pengalaman (nilai p = 0,000) dan kepercayaan (nilai p = 0,008), sedangkan faktor eksternal yang signifikan adalah pengaruh teman (nilai p =0,000). Responden yang mempunyai persepsi risiko keselamatan berkendara yang buruk berisiko tidak menggunakan sabuk keselamatan 72 kali lebih besar [OR 72,46 (15,26; 344,02)] daripada responden yang mempunyai persepsi risiko terhadap keselamatan berkendara yang baik. Perlu dilakukan upaya meningkatkan persepsi risiko antara lain melakukan hazard communication dengan menggunakan pengalaman teman sebagai salah satu sumber informasi bagi individu, disebarluaskan melalui website, pemutaranfilm kejadian kecelakaan, dan membuat papan informasi yang diletakkan pada gerbang utama, meliputi informasi secara berkala dan berkelanjutan tentang kejadian kematian, cedera, dan luka-luka akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas.Kata kunci: Persepi risiko keselamatan, perilaku, sabuk keselamatanAbstractDeaths and injuries caused by traffic accidents has become a public health problem not only in Indonesia but throughout the world. Based on the data of UPTK3LH University of Indonesia, there is increasing incident and accident in campus within the university each year. The aim of this study is to see the relationship between perception of risk driving safety with safety belts usage behavior among the University of Indonesia students, using semi-quantitative approachand cross-sectional research design. Participants were 98 students of University of Indonesia Depok aged 18 to 25 years who drive their own vehicles. With 5% a, 80% power of the test and SPSS 10:00 software, obtained significant internal factors shape the perception of safety risks are the driving experience (p value = 0.000) and confidence (p value = 0.008), whereas a significant external factor is the influence of friends (p value =0.000). Respondents who have bad perceptions of the driving safety risk have a chance of 72 times [OR 72.46 (15.26; 344.02)] for not using safety belts compared to respondents who have a good perception of driving safety risk. Efforts are required to increase the risk perception include hazard communication by using the experience of a friend as one source of information for individuals, spread through websites, film screenings of an accident scene, and create information boards placedat the main gate, from the death scene information, injury, and injuries due to traffic accidents. The most important things is regular socialization.Key words: Safety risk perception, behaviour, safety belt
