Abstract: Background: Acne is described as an abnormal skin condition caused by the disruption of excess oil production and collaboration with bacteria. Aloe vera and citronella oil are plants that have antibacterial properties, including acne-causing bacteria. Purpose: To obtain a formulation that has an anti-acne effect. Method: This research method is experimental in which the formulation of citronella oil emulgel and aloe vera extract is made as much as 10-15 grams in each formula by varying the additional ingredients in each formulation. This formula was made from three different concentrations (F1 (6%:4%), F2 (4%:6%), and F3 (5%:10%)) and tested the physical stability, among others, organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, dispersion and antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes. Result: There was no significant difference between the organoleptic test, pH, homogeneity, and inclusion in the eligible category. In contrast, the dispersion test had a slight difference in F2 and F3, which did not meet the requirements. Conclusion: Inhibitory activity test of the preparations obtained the average diameter of citronella oil emulgel preparations and aloe vera extract at concentrations of F1 (6%:4%), F2 (4%:6%), and F3 (5%:10%) are 11 mm, 10.7 mm and 16 mm and the ability to inhibit bacteria by all concentrations was in a strong category. Among the three formulations known to have the most remarkable effectiveness was at F3 (5%:10%) with an inhibitory diameter of F3 16 mm.

Pages: 165 - 172
Abstract: Background: Acne is caused by inflammation and obstruction of the skin pores, which traps excess oil (acne vulgaris). The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is the causative agent of acne. Treatment and prevention efforts can be made traditionally. Purpose: Testing the antibacterial efficacy of the marigold flower ethanol extract cream (Tagetes erecta L.) against Staphylococcus aureus. Method: This type of research is descriptive exploratory and experimental. Samples of ethanol extract from marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta L.) were formulated into three treatments, namely concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 100% with three replications. Antibacterial efficacy testing was carried out by the agar well diffusion method. Data analysis used One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. Result: The inhibition zones produced by the ethanolic extract of marigold flowers were 8.59 ± 0.047, 9.23 ± 0.026, and 10.23 ± 0.044 respectively. Thus, a higher concentration of the ethanolic extract of marigold flowers in the cream produced more significant inhibitory activity. Conclusion: The ethanol extract cream of marigold flower (Tagetes erecta L.) showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and is suitable to be applied as a cream for the traditional treatment of acne (acne vulgaris).

Authors: Saifudin, Susi Tri Isnoviasih, Andrey Nino Kurniawan, Rizki Amalia
Pages: 203 - 208
Abstract: Background: Betel leaf oil is a wonderful natural antiseptic. Betel leaf oil is rich in polyphenols, especially chavicol, which can be used to protect against microbe pathogens that cause infection. The cause of the spread of nosocomial infections in radiology can occur using a radiographic cassette. Previous research has found that radiographic cassette contains microorganisms and fungi. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of using betel leaf oil as a natural disinfection on a radiographic cassette. Method: Quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design designs was carried out by calculating the number of microbes, including Total Plate Count (TPC), Staphylococcus, and fungi. The study on 12 conventional radiographic cassettes was calculated using the swab method before and after cleaning with betel leaf oil. The data were analyzed descriptively to illustrate the rate of decline. Result: The results showed that the percentage rate of decline after the radiographic cassette was cleaned with betel leaf oil was ALT (17.8%), Staphylococcus (57.41%), and fungi (37.21%). Conclusion: Betel leaf oil can be used as alternative natural disinfection on radiographic cassettes, quite effectively suppressing the activity and number of microbes present.

Abstract: Background: One of the problems faced by industrial companies that use large machines and work equipment is noise. Steam power plant companies will certainly face noise problems in their work areas. PT. Paiton Operation and Maintenance Indonesia is one of the private power generation companies in East Java which manages three units of PLTU (Steam-Electric Power Plant) which in the process operates using a turbo generator. In addition, this company uses machines and equipment that produce noise that can potentially interfere with the health of the workers. Purpose: To map the noise with Golden Surfer software and to analyze the control efforts that had been carried out. Method: This research used an observational method and the analysis was done using Golden Surfer software. Result: The results of this study indicated that in general the noise that occurred in the turbine area exceeded the threshold value which was >85 dB. Furthermore, the results of the mapping showed the distribution pattern of noise levels that occurred in the turbine area starting from the first floor to the fifth floor. Noise control efforts were also carried out by the company, including noise measurements, scheduled preventive maintenance for machine repairs, safety sign, audiometric checks, work procedures, and PPE. Conclusion: In addition to this noise mapping, noise control efforts that have been carried out by the company will reduce the risk of health problems for workers. Thus, noise mapping can be used as a basic reference for companies to be able to determine additional noise control as an effort to prevent and control noise.

Pages: 215 - 222
Abstract: Background: Unsafe work behavior, such as not wearing PPE, not following work procedures and work safety regulations, and not working carefully is an action that caused 88% of work accidents. The rate of occurrence of minor work accidents in hospitals is 20% higher than workers in other industries. Purpose: To prove that there was a correlation between knowledge of OSH as well as safety awareness and unsafe action on nurses in Hospital X. Method: This study used an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was 88 respondents, and it was taken by using the total sampling technique. The research instrument used was a valid and reliable questionnaire. Data analysis used Somer's d test for bivariate data processing and the Ordinal Logistics Regression test. Result: The results of the Somer's d test for correlation between the knowledge of OSH and unsafe action resulted in p-value 0.00, while the results of the Somer's d test for correlation between safety awareness and unsafe action resulted in p-value 0.000. Furthermore, the Ordinal Logistics Regression test that was carried out with the independent variable in the study that had a greater effect on unsafe action was safety awareness with a wald value of 15.001. The results of the Nagelkerke R-square were 0.482 (48.2%), hence the independent variables could explain the dependent variable by 48.2%. Conclusion: The result of this study showed that there was a significant correlation between the knowledge of occupational health and safety awareness with unsafe action.
