Tenaga kerja sebagai sumber daya manusia perlu diperhatikan terutama dari segi kesehatan terhadap risiko dan bahaya pekerjaan. Pengolahan kapur telah berkembang selama puluhan dekade baik dengan cara pembakaran maupun penggilingan.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini, yaitu untuk mengetahui prevalensi gangguan fungsi paru dan hubungan faktor-faktor risiko dengan gangguan fungsi paru pada pekerja industri kapur. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode observasi dan pendekatan studi potong-lintang. Jumlah sampel yang diperoleh, yaitu 44 orang. Variabel independen diukur melalui wawancara dan pengisian kuesioner, serta pemeriksaan fisik secara umum untuk mengetahui riwayat penyakit. Variabel dependen diukut dengan pemeriksaan uji spirometri. Analisis data dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan faktor-faktor risiko dengan gangguan fungsi paru, seperti umur, kebiasaan merokok, riwayat penyakit, lama kerja, dan penggunaan APD.
Hasil penelitian diketahui prevalensi gangguan fungsi paru pada pekerja sbesar 36,4% dan tidak ditemukan adanya hubungan antara faktor-faktor risiko dengan gangguan fungsi paru. Pekerja dengan riwayat penyakit diharapkan mendapatkan pengobatan dan seluruh pekerja agar dapat memeriksakan kesehatannya secara rutin.
Workers as human resources need to be paid attention, especially their health status related to the hazard and risk of working. Limestone manufacture has been burgeoning in decades whether by way of combustion or hulling.The purpose of this research was to find out the prevalence of lung function disorder and the association between the risk factors and lung function disorder in the lime worker industry. This research was an observational method using cross-sectional study approach. The sample size was 44 people. Independent variable was measured by interviewing and filling the questioner, also general physical diagnose to find out the history of diseases. Dependent variable was measured by doing the spirometry test. Data analysis was done to find out the association between the risk factors and the lung function disorder, such as age, smoking habit, history of diseases, year of working, and using the personal protective equipment.The result found out the prevalence of lung function disorder, 36,4% and there were no association between the risk factors with the lung function disorder. Workers who have the diseases need to get the medical treatment and all of the workers have to be examined their health.
