This study assesses the interior air quality and infective factors in a hospital in Turkey to provide data about air quality to protect hospital workers. This study measured indoor air quality in eight different locations in a hospital, including particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM1), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature, humidity and microbiological matter. The highest PM2.5 and PM1 concentrations were in emergency service, and the highest CO2 was measured in the paediatric clinic. The poor interior air quality results are the most important cross-sectional data. For all participants, the prevalence of eye, upper respiratory tract, lower respiratory tract, skin and non-specific sick building syndrome symptoms were 23.0%, 40.7%, 22.5%, 36.3% and 63.7%, respectively. When sick building syndrome symptoms and environmental factors were investigated, skin symptoms increased 1.82 times in areas with stagnant air flow (p = 0.046; OR = 1.823; 95% CI: 1.010–3.290). Non-specific symptoms increased 2.17 times in locations with dry indoor air (p = 0.039; OR = 2.176; 95% CI: 1.041–4.549). Hospital workers are exposed to conditions that may increase the risk of a variety of sick building syndrome symptoms. Although the air quality measurements were not above the recommended limits in the hospital, long-term exposures should be considered for those experiencing sick building syndrome-related symptoms.

There are rising cases of building occupants with health-related challenges such as irritation, asthma, lung infections, headaches, and other allergies. These health conditions sometimes disappear once the occupants live such buildings which are referred to as sick building syndrome (SBS). With the high fatality rate associated with air pollution and Nigeria ranking 4th in the poorest air quality globally, the study assessed SBS from indoor pollution in residential and office spaces. The study utilized a cross-sectional survey research design and employed the use of an air quality detector to measure a 24-h mean measurement of air conditions within the study area. The study was carried out in Zaria, Kaduna State. Statistical tools such as graphs, mean score, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and correlation matrix were used to analyze the dataset. The study showed that the major symptoms associated with SBS from indoor pollution. The indoor conditions that may contribute to SBS in the residential and office spaces were mainly lighting conditions, headroom in the building, and position of windows. While the study reported that the presence of SBS from indoor pollution can lead to increased maintenance, dizziness, and depression/breakdown. The measurement of the indoor pollutants contributing to the SBS among residential and office space occupants showed that PM2.5 and PM10 were mostly above the average 24-h mean standard. The study suggested recommendations to improve indoor air quality and reduce syndromes associated with sick buildings.

Latar Belakang : Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) merupakan kumpulan gejala yang dialami oleh seseorang atau perasaan tidak sehat tanpa penyebab yang jelas saat melakukan pekerjaan di dalam gedung dan akan menghilang saat seseorang meninggalkan gedung tersebut. Sirkulasi udara yang tidak baik, ditambah dengan adanya faktor fisik, kimia, biologi, dan individu, serta faktor lingkungan lainnya yang terdapat di dalam suatu bangungan dapat menjadi penyebab terjadinya SBS. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi keluhan SBS pada karyawan di gedung PT. X Palembang.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi cross sectional. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 107 karyawan yang terpilih sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi yang telah ditetapkan. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat untuk melihat gambaran keluhan SBS, usia, jenis kelamn, masa kerja, suhu, pencahayaan dan kembaban, serta analisis bivariat dengan menggunakan uji chi-square dan uji alternatif fisher exact untuk melihat pengaruh faktor risiko terhadap keluhan SBS.Hasil : Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa prevalensi keluhan SBS sebesar 75,7%, dengan usia terbanyak ≤40 tahun (80,4%), didominasi oleh laki-laki (60,7%), dengan masa kerja paling banyak ≥5 tahun (62,6%), serta lingkungan kerja dengan suhu, pencahayaan, dan kelembaban yang tidak memenuhi syarat secara berurutan sebesar 18,7%, 49,5%, dan 36,4%.Simpulan: Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukan bahwa kelembaban mempengaruhi terjadinya keluhan SBS pada karyawan PT. X Palembang (p-value = 0,005). Untuk menyeimbangkan kualitas udara di dalam ruangan, salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan meletakkan tanaman sanseviera sebagai menyeimbang dan penyerap polutan di dalam ruangan. ABSTRACT Tittle : Sick Building Syndrome Complain in PT.

PT PLN (Persero) memiliki peranan yang penting terutama dalam bentuk pelayanan publik dalam urusan konsumsi listrik, serta distribusi listrik kepada masyarakat. Hal ini menuntut pegawai PLN untuk selalu berada di kantor, yang dimana dapat memicu terjadinya keluhan Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan keluhan Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) pada pegawai di PT. PLN (Persero) Unit Induk Wilayah Sulselrabar Kota Makassar. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan rancangan cross sectional yang dilaksanakan di PT PLN (Persero) Unit Induk Wilayah Sulselrabar Kota Makassar pada bulan Juni 2020. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 164 orang dari total populasi yang berjumlah 164 orang yang diperoleh dengan cara total sampling. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan uji statistik Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Responden yang mengalami keluhan Sick Building Syndrome, lebih tinggi daripada yang tidak mengalami keluhan Sick Building Syndrome. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara variabel suhu ruangan dengan keluhan SBS (P-value = 0,024). Sedangkan variabel umur, masa kerja, dan kelembaban ruangan tidak berhubungan dengan keluhan SBS karena masing-masing variabel tersebut memiliki nilai p di atas nilai α=0,05. Hasil uji statistik antara hubungan ketiga variabel tersebut dengan keluhan SBS adalah umur (p-value = 0,531), masa kerja (p-value = 0,394), dan kelembaban ruangan (p-value = 0,164). Jika terlalu lama berada di dalam ruangan yang berAC, maka dapat memicu terjadinya sick building syndrome. Untuk itu, disarankan agar karyawan selalu menjaga kondisi tubuh dan melakukan peregangan relaksasi ketika keluhan SBS dirasa muncul dan selalu mengecek suhu ruangan agar tetap normal.

Dunia modern memungkinkan terjadinya peningkatan proporsi tenaga kerja yang bekerja di dalam kantor. Ketika kecenderungan ini berlanjut, paparan lingkungan kantor akan sangat mempengaruhi kesehatan dan produktivitas pekerja. Beberapa pekerja kantor mungkin merasa lega saat masuk ke dalam ruangan berpendingin dan berhenti menghirup asap dari luar. Tanpa disadari, udara yang mereka hirup di dalam kantor mungkin lebih berbahaya bagi kesehatannya. Situasi dimana penghuni gedung mengeluhkan masalah kesehatan dan kenyamanan yang timbul saat berada dalam suatu bangunan, namun gejalanya tidak spesifik dan penyebabnya tidak dapat diidentifikasikan disebut Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Saat produktivitas pekerja menurun karena SBS maka timbul permasalahan besar lainnya seperti turut menurunnya profit dan kepuasan klien di sebuah institusi. Rumah sakit sebagai salah satu institusi kesehatan sudah sepatutnya menyadari bahwa lingkungan kantor sangat mempengaruhi kesehatan para pekerjanya, karena selain sebagai wahana penyembuhan bagi para pasiennya, diharapkan juga mampu mencegah berbagai masalah kesehatan yang mungkin timbul pada seluruh pekerjanya selama berada di rumah sakit sebagai lingkungan kerjanya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk mengungkap hubungan suhu dan kelembaban dengan keluhan SBS pada Januari 2018 di RS Swasta X di Depok dengan sampel seluruh petugas administrasi sebanyak 48 orang dengan metode cross sectional. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan (p-value 0,036 dengan OR 4,0) antara suhu di dalam ruangan dengan keluhan SBS pada pekerja. Diharapkan penelitian ini menjadi masukan bagi manajemen rumah sakit untuk lebih memperhatikan fasilitas dan kenyamanan kerja di dalam ruangan.
