Introduction: Existing measures of occupational stress often do not count an essential factor that determines the level of worker stress, which is psychosocial factors. 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.

Introduction: Informal workers in Garment Asia Raya of Banyuwangi continue their work activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These informal workers in Garment Asia Raya Banyuwangi are, therefore, vulnerable to the transmission of COVID-19. The implementation of health protocols must be carried out to prevent and minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission. However, the workers have not fully implemented health protocols. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of knowledge and attitudes with workers’ behavior in the implementation of health protocols. Methods: This study was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional research design. The research population was 50 informal workers in Garment Asia Raya Banyuwangi, using the total sampling technique. The variables studied were knowledge, attitudes and behavior in the implementation of health protocols. The data collection used a questionnaire sheet that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis technique used was descriptive analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: Most of the workers had a low category of knowledge. Most of the workers had a moderate attitude towards the implementation of health protocols. Moreover, most of the workers had poor behavior in implementing health protocols. The results showed a positive relationship with a weak correlation level between knowledge and attitudes with the behavior of implementing health protocols. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the higher the knowledge and attitudes of workers, the better the workers’ behavior in implementing health protocols.

Introduction: Naphthalene is a chemical exposure found in various industries, including in the manufacture of phthalic anhydride, synthetic resins, lubricants, mothballs, and used as fuel additives. 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.
