The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric features of an adaptation of the Health and Safety Executive-Work Related Stress Scale (HSE-WRSS), a measure that includes psychosocial factors to measure work stress. Methods: Cronbach alpha was used to determine reliability and convergent validity, by correlating it with other instruments, namely the Employee Well Being (EWB) scale and the neuroticism scale as part of the Big Five Inventory (BFI). Questionnaires were distributed online via Google Forms, and data processing was performed using JASP 12. Results: Data on a total of 210 out of 239 employees were processed for reliability testing and item analysis. Meanwhile, data for 37 employees were processed to be tested for a convergent validity test. The dependability of each dimension was between 0.67-0.82. Meanwhile, item analysis revealed that 33 items had a good Crit value with a correlation between item-total >0.30, whereas 2 items had a bad Crit value with a correlation between item-total 0.30. Correlation analysis revealed a positive and substantial relationship between the HSE-WRSS and the EWB scale, and a negative and significant relationship between the HSE-WRSS and neuroticism. Conclusion: In general, the results of this investigation demonstrate that the HSE-WRSS measurement is trustworthy and valid in the Indonesian version.","PeriodicalId":33133,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Occupational Safety and Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43627351","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}

The exposure to naphthalene in humans has several detrimental health effects such as hemolytic anemia, kidney and liver disorders. Therefore, biological monitoring is needed as a health surveillance of naphthalene exposure. Generally, the biomonitoring examination carried out for this is naphthol in the blood. However, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene (1,2-DHN) is also known to be another major metabolite. Therefore, this literature review aims to determine whether 1,2-DHN can also be a reliable biomonitoring test on occupational exposure to naphthalene. Methods: PubMed, Proquest, and Google Scholar were used to conduct article searches. The articles were chosen based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were then critically appraised. Results: Four cross-sectional articles examining 1,2-DHN in the urine of naphthalene-exposed workers were selected and reviewed. There was a similar result from all selected articles that elevated levels of 1,2-DHN in the urine, indicating workplace exposure to naphthalene. Moreover, apart from having a strong correlation with 1- and 2-naphthol, 1,2-DHN also has a high sensitivity compared to these established metabolites. Conclusion: Based on the articles obtained, 1,2-DHN can be a reliable biological monitoring for workers exposed to naphthalene. However, further research is still needed on other industries exposed to naphthalene and is needed to ascertain the correlation between external and internal exposure to naphthalene.","PeriodicalId":33133,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Occupational Safety and Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49108735","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}
