Respiratory Disease is the leading cause of death in the majority of people and is among the top 10 causes of death in the world. Factors causing respiratory disease are occupational exposure, smoking and lung infections. According to WHO, 65 million people have respiratory illnesses ranging from moderate to severe. Nearly 90% of deaths from respiratory illness occur in low- and middle-income countries. Hairdressers are exposed to many chemicals in the use of many hair products such as shampoos, curling products, hair dyes, and hair sprays. This study aims to obtain risk factor related to occupational respiratory symptoms on hairdresser workers in Palembang. Cross sectional study design was chosen with a sample size of 150 respondents. The result showed that the prevalence of Occupational Respiratory Symptoms was 40%, female hairdresser were 85.3%, 64.7% were less than 35 years old, those with contact duration of eight hours a day was 78.7%, and those with contact frequency of more than three times a day was 86.6%.There were no significant relationship between sex, age and duration of contact with Occupational Respiratory Symptoms. There was a significant relationship between frequency of contact with Occupational Respiratory Symptoms.
Sejumlah studi lainnya menemukan bukti yang mendukung hipotesis bahwa polusi udara dalam ruang dapat meningkatkan risiko gangguan pada pertumbuhan panjang badan balita. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis hubungan status keterpajanan polusi udara dalam rumah terhadap pertumbuhan panjang badan balita Kota Palembang. Desain studi crossectional dengan 150 sampel. Teknik pengambilan sampel terpilih dilakukan dengan proportional random sampling. Data pertumbuhan fisik balita, pajanan udara dalam ruang, dan variabel lain yang diteliti merupakan data primer dari hasil wawancara langsung. Teknik analisa data secara univariat dan uji chi-square. Terbukti adanya hubungan antara HAP dengan pertumbuhan berat panjang balita yang tidak normal untuk indikator PB/U (p value: 0,002; PR 1.8; 95%CI: 1.2-2.8). Faktor risiko lain yang juga berhubungan dengan pertumbuhan panjang badan balita yang tidak normal adalah pemberian ASI eksklusif (p value: 0,013; PR 1.5; 95%CI: 1.1-2.2) dan pajanan asap rokok (p value: 0,048; PR 1.4; 95%CI: 1.02-2.04). Pajanan polusi udara dalam ruang terbukti dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan panjang badan ideal pada balita
Adverse birth outcomes are determined by a complex combination of genetic, social, and environmental factors. Numerous studies have concluded an association exists between air pollution and low birth weight (LBW). This case-controlled study aimed to analyze the association by using 38 cases (mothers of LBW infants) and 40 controls (mothers of normal birth weight infants) in Seberang Ulu 1, Palembang City. Primary data related to indoor air pollution exposure during pregnancy was collected via structured interviews. The data was analyzed by performing chi-square and multiple logistic regressions within a risk factor model. Exposure to indoor air pollution during pregnancy was associated with the occurrence of LBW (chi-square test, p-value: 0.012, OR 3611 [95% CI 1.415 to 9.215]). No variables were found to have an interaction with the effects of indoor air pollution exposure during pregnancy and the occurrence of LBW. Exposure to indoor air pollution during pregnancy had the most significant impact on LBW occurrences after controlling for maternal age during pregnancy (multiple logistic regression, p-value: 0.019, OR 3.19 [95% CI 1, 21-8.406]). Keywords: Indoor air pollution, low birth weight, pregnancy,
Pekerja informal berjumlah 1,8 miliar (60% dari angkatan kerja global) dan menghadapi insekuritas dan stres kerja yang lebih besar daripada pekerja yang dipekerjakan secara formal, dan mereka tidak memiliki akses terhadap pelayanan kesehatan yang terjangkau dan perawatan kesehatan yang berkualitas. Buruh perempuan merupakan salah satu komunitas yang rentan terhadap masalah kesehatan. Buruh perempuan yang telah menikah dan punya anak memiliki peran dan tanggung jawab yang lebih berat daripada wanita single. Ketidakpuasan dan insekuritas terhadap lingkungan pekerjaan yang merupakan bahaya psikososial dapat berdampak negatif pada kesehatan buruh tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis identifikasi bahaya psikososial pada buruh wanita di pabrik karet. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah pekerja buruh wanita di pabrik karet sebanyak delapan orang. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif dengan melakukan identifikasi terhadap risiko bahaya psikososial pada buruh wanita di pabrik karet. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa bahaya psikososial yang teridentifikasi diantaranya adalah risiko stress di tempat kerja berupa hubungan interpersonal dan beban kerja. Dengan teridentifikasi risiko psikososial di tempat kerja maka perusahaan perlu menerapkan tindakan pencegahan agar buruh wanita mendapatkan perlindungan di tempat kerja.
