Faktor-Faktor Yang Berhubungan Dengan Gangguan Fungsi Paru Pada Pekerja Pengelasan di Kota Pontianak
Abstract: Home industry has
grown rapidly in recent years in the Pontianak city. One of the exhaust
particulate material from the welding process. This will be the potential
occurrence of exposure to workers. Result from this preliminary study (15
workers), found that the average work for 8-9 hours per day, taking hours of
overtime (40,%) for 4 hours / day, and the symptom for respiratory disorders
were cough (60%) and shortness of breath (20%), this study showed that welding
work had a risk of pulmonary function disorders for workers. The aim of this
study was to measure lung function disorders in welding workers and factors
influencing it in the Pontianak city.
Methode: This research was an observational research using a cross
sectional design, with 78 samples of worker were taken by random sampling. Data
of levels welding respirable dust were obtained by measured using personal dust
sampler, while lung function data obtained with examine the lung function of
workers using spirometri, and other data obtained by interview. Data analysis
performed by univariate and biavariate analysis using Kendall-tau and
chi-square (±=0,05).
Result: Study showed respirable dust still below threshold limit value
(NAB=3 mg/m3), the highest = 2,791 mg/m3, the lowest = 0,085 mg/m3, mean= 0,83
mg/m3 and SD=0,70, and as many as 59 respondents (75.6%) had pulmonary function
disorders. Statistical test results showed there was significant association
between level of respirable dust (p-value=0,001), and working hour/day
(p-value=0,008, OR=6,321, 95%CI =1,663-24,026 with pulmonary function
disorders.
Conclusion: Levels of respirable dust and duration of exposure is a
potential factor of pulmonary function disorders in welding workers in the
Pontianak city.
