Repair of standing position can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal pain. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of corrective work posture on alleviating musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) symptoms among saleswomen in the department store. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi experiment before and after with no control design conducted in Rantauprapat department store, North Sumatera. A sample of 30 saleswomen from the department store was selected for this study. The dependent variable was MSD scores as measured by Nordic Body Map (NBM). The independent variables were corrective work posture. The data before and after corrective work posture were compared and tested by Wilcoxon test. Results: MSD scores 1, 2, and 3 days after corrective work posture were lower than before corrective work posture, and all of them were statistically significant. Conclusions: Corrective work posture is effective to alleviate MSD symptoms among saleswomen.","PeriodicalId":297517,"journal":{"name":"Reaching the Unreached: Improving Population Health in the Rural and Remote Areas","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125281988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2017, 940,000 people died from HIVrelated causes globally. There were approximately 36.9 million people living with HIV at the end of 2017 with 1.8 million people becoming newly infected in 2017 globally. Previous study reported that there are two types of men: “adventurous” ones and “loyal” ones. The adventurous ones were said to go from work to the street, and to forget their homes. Housewives living with an adventurous type of husband are hypothesized to have a higher risk of HIV infection. This study aimed to examine the effect of maternal knowledge and husband job type on HIV infection among housewives in Balige, North Sumatera. Subjects and Method: This was a case control study conducted at AIDS HKBP Balige committee, North Sumatera. A sample of 90 housewives was selected for this study, consisting of 45 housewives with positive HIV and 45 housewives with negative HIV. The dependent variable was HIV infection. The independent variables were maternal knowledge and husband job type (in-town versus out-of-town job type). Data on HIV infection status were obtained from the medical record.

In 2016, 10.4 million people fell ill with TB, and 1.7 million died from the disease (including 0.4 million among people with HIV). Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low and middle-income countries. Seven countries account for 64% of the total, with India leading the count, followed by Indonesia, China, Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, and South Africa. Given that most deaths from TB are preventable, the death toll from the disease is still unacceptably high and efforts to combat it must be accelerated. This study aimed to determine the effects of contact history and family income on the risk of pulmonary TB in Padangsidimpuan, North Sumatera.
