Abstract

Lack of waste safety m anagement inspections affect community health. This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding community waste safety management inspection and health impact. On a sample of 1,307 research articles published between 2009 and 2018, 16 articles met the criteria for systematic review. Criteria were applied selecting keywords as specified by PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome), being cross-sectional or survey research. Quality of research articles was evaluated by using the JBI form. Statistical analysis was done by using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2 program for the fixed effect model, testing the difference of effect size by prevalence.

The study found that sample sizes within the 16 selected articles were 47 to 846 cases. There were no studies on sources (origin/dumping). There were 14 studies on the midway (collection/transportation) and were 2 studies of the destination (disposal. Respiratory   symptoms and back pain incidence were found among community garbage workers at the significant levels of 26.2 percent (95% CI 0.21 - 0.32, p<0.001) and 67.2 percent (95% CI 0.59 – 0.75, p<0.001), respectively. Therefore, there should be a development of the system on community waste safety management inspection, under different contexts.
