Abstract

Introduction: Since the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Indonesia, the government has implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions to control the spread of the disease. However, these restrictions have had a negative impact on the economy. To address this, the government has introduced a new normal policy to restore activities while managing the risk of transmission. The government has adopted WHO guidelines through Minister of Health Decree No. 238 of 2020 to ensure COVID-19 workplace safety. This article aims to explore the barriers to COVID-19 workplace safety among Indonesian office workers. Methods: This qualitative research was conducted in DKI Jakarta and Surabaya from September to October 2020. In-depth interviews and observations were conducted with 22 informants selected purposefully. Thematic analysis was used, drawing on the Social-ecological Model (SEM) theory. Results: At the intrapersonal level, fear and perception barriers impact preventive actions against COVID-19. At the interpersonal level, peer influence and perceptions of the work environment affect adherence to office policies. At the organizational level, employee behavior is influenced by socializing, rules, and workplace amenities. Lastly, public policy enforcement is vital at the macro level to reduce risky behaviors among office workers. Conclusion: Implementing comprehensive protocols across different levels is crucial to creating COVID-19 workplace safety. This requires increased public awareness and consistent enforcement, including strengthening organizational policies.

Abstract

Background: Leptospirosis is a public health issue caused by the Leptospira bacterium, leading to significant economic impacts. The cost of illness due to Leptospirosis encompasses hidden costs that significantly affect individuals and society Aims: This study aimed to assess the hidden economic burden (direct and indirect costs) experienced by patients and their families due to healthcare treatment of leptospirosis. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Banyumas Regency from February to June 2024. Data were collected from patients who completed leptospirosis treatment in 2023. The variables of cost were categorized into direct treatment cost, treatment cost, and indirect cost, which were analyzed descriptively.   Results: Most leptospirosis patients were male, aged 26 – 45 years old, and the majority worked as farmers. Our study reveals that uninsured patients incurred higher out-of-pocket expenses during leptospirosis’ treatment. The productivity loss was estimated at USD 44.75, with significant hidden costs being transportation (USD 31.90), caregiver support (USD 86.38), and hospital treatment (USD 231.40). Conclusion: The significant burden of Leptospirosis in Indonesia highlights the economic impact on individuals and the challenges within the healthcare system. This study calls for enhanced public health strategies focused on prevention, early diagnosis, and improved healthcare access to address the leptospirosis burden effectively.
