| dc.description.abstract | Acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) is one of the
health problems that still occurs today. Communities
around coal hauling are at risk of suffering from ARI
during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to
prove whether there is a relationship between
extensive ventilation, occupancy density, and length
of exposure to ARI during the Covid-19 pandemic
and the size of the risk. Observational research with
a case control study design. The number of samples
was 62 respondents from 31 ARI patients and 31
non-ARI patients who were selected by purposive
sampling. The research was conducted from
September to October 2020 in Kampung Baru
Hamlet, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The data that
has been collected is then analyzed statistically Chi-
square and the amount of risk with the Odd RatioOR.
The results showed that 71% of respondents had
extensive ventilation that did not meet the
requirements, 60% of respondents with in-room
occupancy density that did not meet the
requirements, and 25% were exposed to periods of
time that were not normal on the transportation
route. Ventilation area (p value 0.011; OR 01.8),
occupancy density (p value 0.009; OR 0.5), and
length of exposure (p value 0.009; OR 0.2). There is a
relationship between ventilation area, occupancy
density, and length of exposure to ISPA during the
Covid-19 pandemic in communities living around
coal hauling roads. The risk of the community
suffering from ARI during the Covid-19 pandemic
still exists so that control efforts are needed such as
updating both electric and cloth dust filters on home
ventilation and cleaning regularly, adjusting the
time to use ventilation, if considering the number of
bedrooms that allow, reducing activities outside the
home, and use a mask. | en_US |
