Skin disease is a disease related to the environment and human behavior. The incidence of skin diseases has increased because the cause of the disease is alive and breeding in landfills and poor waste collection. This is based on the environment of scavenger workers who have materials that can cause various kinds of skin disorders. Based on the results of preliminary surveys that have been carried out, the number of scavengers in the final disposal site of Kelurahan Falls is 75 people with different age characteristics, different levels of education and length of work. The problem at TPA Falls is work behavior on waste pickers. From observations from the field observations found that the scavenger working conditions in the garbage dump in the Kelurahan Falls generally suffer from skin disorders due to personal hygiene (skin, foot, nail and hand hygiene) which are not given enough attention and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that is incorrect and incomplete. The purpose of this study was to determine knowledge, attitudes, actions to use personal protective equipment (PPE) and habits of personal hygiene, length of work, as well as the distance of the house from the landfill with complaints of skin disorders in the garbage scavengers in the TPA Kelurahan Falls. The research method is cross sectional which was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The research location was conducted at TPA Kelurahan Terjun, Medan Marelan Subdistrict and was conducted in February and March 2019. 75 respondents were taken using simple random sampling technique. The research instrument was in the form of a questionnaire. The results of the study are variables that are not related to complaints of skin disorders that is length of work (P value = 0.617), while variables related to complaints of skin disorders are distance of residents' homes (P value = 0,000), non-compliance using PPE (P value = 0,000) do personal hygiene (P value = 0,000). Suggestions for scavengers to behave more clean and healthy life by maintaining health, personal hygiene and the environment, and using personal protection that must be worn at work.

The process of limestone mining will resulted in limestone dust on the working environment. This can lead to inhalation of the limestone dust which can cause respiratory problems.The type of the research was analytic with Cross Sectional design. The population was all workers in Bukit Kapur Jaddih, Parseh Village, Socah District; 52 workers. The sample was 45 workers taken by simple random sampling technique. The independent variable was compliance to use mask protective equipment, while the dependent variable was respiratory disorders. The data was collected by questionnaires and observation physical observation.  The data was analyzed using Lambda test, with α= 0.05.The results of the research showed that workers who did not use PPE (masks) were 35 workers (77.8%), who experienced respiratory problems were  39 workers (86.7%), and 6 workers (13.3%) did not experience respiratory problems. The lambda test results p Value of 0.073>α (0.05) meant that H0 was accepted and H1 was rejected. The compliance to use personal protective equipment (masks) and the presence of respiratory problems showed no correlation. For this reason, workers must continue to use masks while working to protect themselves from the effects of occupational breathing (lime dust).

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan mekanisem koping dengan tingkat stres pada pasien kanker di Yayasan Kanker Indonesia Cabang Jawa Timur.Desain penelitian ini menggunakan analitik observasional dengan rancangan Cross Sectional. Populasi penelitian ini pasien kanker sebesar 32 pasien. Sampel sebesar 32 pasien dengan teknik Simple Random Sampling. Variabel independenmekanisme koping dan variabel dependen tingkat stres. Pengambilan Data menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis menggunakan uji statistik exact fisher didapatkan nilai α = 0,05.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dari 32 responden sebagian besar (78.6%) memiliki mekanisme koping adaptif, sebagian besar (40,6%) memiliki tingkat kecemasan berat. Hasil uji statistik diperoleh nilai ρ = 0,000 yang membuktikan bahwa mekanisme koping berhubungan dengan tingkat stres pada pasien kanker di Yayasan Kanker Indonesia Cabang Jawa Timur. Semakin tinggi mekanisme koping maladaptif maka semakin tinggi tingkat stres pada pasien kanker. Disarankan tenaga kesehatan mampu memberikan penyuluhan atau konseling dan pasien kanker hendaknya lebih banyak membaca, melihat, mendengar untuk mengetahui dan mengatasi apa penyebab terjadinya stres.  Kata kunci : mekanisme koping, tingkat stres.     AbstractStress experienced by patients with cancer may be resulted from the inability to overcome the problems which become the burdens in their mind and eventually creating stress In the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, 399 people are recorded in 2017 to suffer from cancer which will become the leading cause of death in Indonesia. Hence, this study was purposed to identify the correlation between coping mechanism and stress level in patients with cancer in the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, East Java branch. This analytical observational study was conducted by using cross sectional design. It involved 32 patients with cancer in which 32 patients were chosen by using total sampling technique. The independent variable was coping mechanism, whereas the dependent variable was stress level. Questionnaire was used to collect the data which were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test with the significance level or α = 0.05. The results of this study conducted to 32 respondents, most of them (78.6%) had adaptive coping mechanism, whereas most of them (40.6%) experienced severe level of stress. Moreover, the results of statistical test showed that the value of ρ = 0.000 which proved that coping mechanism was correlated with level of stress experienced by the patients in the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, East Java branch. The higher the maladaptive coping mechanism is, the higher the level of stress in patients with cancer. The health workers are suggested to be able to give them counseling. On the other hand, the patients with cancer should read, watch, and listen more to find out and avoid the causes of stress. Key words: coping mechanism, stress level.
