ABSTRAK Prevalensi Rinitis Akibat Kerja (RAK) berkisar antara 5-48%. Penyebab RAKantara lain adalah partikulat debu yang beterbangan di lingkungan kerja. Hal iniakan meningkatkan beban pembiayaan baik terhadap pekerja itu sendiri maupunperusahaan tempat ia bekerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahuiprevalensi RAK serta hubungan antara kadar partikulat debu dengan kejadianRAK dengan populasi pekerja parkir basement di sebuah Hotel dan RSUD diJakarta dengan waktu pengumpulan sampel dilakukan selama bulan Desember 2014 hingga Maret 2015. Sampel penelitian adalah yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi yakni area kerja di parkir basement, usia 20-40 tahun, masa kerja lebihdari 1 tahun dan bersedia mengikuti prosedur penelitian. Subyek penelitian diwawancara dan diperiksa kadar eosinofil kerokan mukosa hidung sebelum dansesudah bekerja. RAK positif apabila terdapat gejala rinitis, memberat ketikabekerja dan ada peningkatan eosinofil kerokan mukosa hidung. Analisa penelitiandilakukan berdasarkan karakteristik usia, jenis kelamin, masa kerja, kebiasaanmerokok dan bagian kerja (terpapar langsung atau tidak dengan partikulat debu).Dari 57 subyek penelitian, 6 orang (10.5%) mengalami peningkatan eosinofildengan karakterisktik sebagai berikut: 4 orang memiliki masa kerja > 4 tahun; 4orang memiliki kebiasaan merokok; dan 3 orang bekerja di bagian kerja yangterpapar langsung dengan partikulat debu. Dari 6 orang tersebut terdapat 3 orang(5.2%) yang memenuhi kriteria RAK dengan karakteristik sebagai berikut: 2orang berusia 30-40 tahun, 2 orang adalah laki-laki, 2 orang mempunyai masakerja ≤ 4 tahun, dan 2 orang berasal dari bagian kerja yang terpapar tidaklangsung dengan partikulat debu. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara riwayatatopi dengan peningkatan eosinofil (OR 23.33 dan 95%CI 2.40-224.62). Namuntidak ditemukan hubungan antara kadar partikulat debu dan masa kerja dengan RAK yang bermakna. ABSTRACT The prevalence of occupational rhinitis ranges between 5-48%. It is caused byparticulate dust in the workplace. It will increase financial burden both for theworkers themselves and the company. This study aims to determine theprevalence of OR and the relation between the levels of particulate dust with ORincident among workers who work in a hotel or hospital basement parking lot inJakarta, during December 2014 to March 2015. The sample inclusion criteriawere: age 20-40 years, working period of more than one year and are willing toparticipate in the study. The subjects were interviewed and nasal mucosal scrapings eosinophil levels were measured before and after work. OR was defined as has symptoms of rhinitis, increase during work and there is anincrease in eosinophils nasal mucosal scrapings. Analysis of the research carriedout based on the characteristics of age, sex, years of smoking and workingdirectly or indirectly exposed to dust particulates. Of the 57 subjects of the study,6 (10.5%) experienced an increase in eosinophils with the followingcharacteristics: 4 people has a work period > 4 years; 4 people smoke; and 3people work directly exposed to particulate dust. Three subjects (5.2%) meet allthe OR criteria with the following characteristics: 2 were aged 30-40 years, 2were male, 2 have a working period of ≤ 4 years and 2 were indirectly exposed toparticulate dust. There is a very significant association between history of atopywith increased eosinophils (, OR 23.3 and 95% CI 2.40-224.62). However, no association was found between levels of particulate dust and working period.;The prevalence of occupational rhinitis ranges between 5-48%.
