Relation Between the Use of PPE (Personal Protectiv Equipment) with Respiratory System Disorders in Wooden Furniture Workers

By: Herliawati Christine S.

BACKGROUND
The negative impact of industrial development: Diseases caused by work or work-related disease Particles or dust generated from wood airway abnormalities in the form of restriction, obstruction or a combination. Pulmonary function disorder as a result of the frequency, duration of a person working in dusty environments and internal factors such as gender, age, work period, wood dust exposure, nutritional status, smoking habits, personal protective equipment, exercise habits, and long exposure.

continue
ILO (1999) causes of work-related deaths: 34% from cancer, accidents as much as 25%, chronic respiratory disease 21%, 15% cardiovascular disease, and others as much as 5% China (1996) 7 million workers have been exposed to the hazards of dust, was found about 400,000 cases of pneumoconiosis and resulted in approximately 80,000 deaths. Central Java (2004) pulmonary function tests in 80 formal workers and 120 informal workers, at 5 (five) District with a result that is 83.75% of formal workers and 95% of informal workers suffered lung problems.

Wooden furniture workers 7 of 10 workers have respiratory complaints. Furniture workers in Indralaya sub-district and North Indralaya subdistrict neglect their health status and not informed about the effects of the unhealthy work environment.

Indralaya health center has not have occupational health efforts program for furniture workers.

Theological problem

D. Research Limitation Understanding of the language Lacks a clear time limit, some respondents are not permanent worker, must visited the workplace in many times.

NURSING IMPLICATION
The role as a nurse, as a care giver and educator, with giving the occupational nursing care, in the form of work counseling for the wooden furniture workers, with regard to the basic human needs from the simple to the complex, as well as providing counseling and health education on occupational health, especially regarding the good work environment and ways of prevention and treatment of occupational diseases, especially regarding the importance of wearing PPE in the workplace.

Conclusion
Number of wooden furniture workers wearing PPE are 14 people (42.4%), and who suffered respiratory problems are 16 people (48.5%). There was a relation between the use of PPE with respiratory disorder (p-value = 0.000). There was no relation between the use of PPE with the cough (p value = 0.082) There was no relation between the use of PPE with the dyspnea (p value = 0.146) There was a relation between the use of PPE with the establishment of sputum (p value = 0.006. There was a relation between the use of PPE with the wheezing (p value = 0.002). There was a relation between the use of PPE with chest pain (p value = 0.002). There was a relation between the use of PPE with the rhinitis (p value = 0.017).

Recommendation
This recommended recommend wooden furniture workers to understand more about the dangers and negative effects of wood dust for health, so it can change attitudes and behaviors in work by using the maximum and standards appropriate PPE, as well as in creating a healthy work environment. Also recommended for further researches in qualitatif design, depth interview, observation and focus group discussion.
