  • HUBUNGAN STATUS AKLIMATISASI DAN EFEK Heat STRESS PADA PEDAGANG KAKI LIMA DI DEPAN POLITEKNIK NEGERI SEMARANG, JL. PROF. H. SOEDARTO, SH, TEMBALANG, SEMARANG
    2015
    Co-Authors: Tamimi B Rizka
    Abstract:

    Menurut perkiraan Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika, pada tahun 2014 suhu udara di Semarang berkisar antara 23-36°C. Iklim kerja panas dapat menyebabkan efek Heat stress, seperti Heat Rash, Heat cramps, Heat syncope, Heat exhaustion, dan Heat stroke. Untuk mencegah terjadinya efek Heat stress pada tubuh, pekerja harus memperhatikan beberapa faktor seperti status aklimatisasi, asupan minuman, beban kerja, dan alat pelindung diri. Koran Tempo menyatakan bahwa pada Oktober 2014 merupakan rekor suhu udara paling ekstrem di Semarang sejak tahun 1972, yaitu mencapai 36°C. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan status aklimatisasi dan efek Heat stress pada pedagang kaki lima di Jl. Prof. H. Soedarto, SH, Tembalang, Semarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi penelitian ini berjumlah 38 orang yang bekerja sebagai pedagang kaki lima dan jumlah sampel yang diambil berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi adalah 35 orang. Hasil uji Chi Square menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan status aklimatisasi dan efek Heat stress (p = 0,127), tidak ada hubungan asupan minuman dan efek Heat stress (p = 0,966), tidak ada hubungan alat pelindung diri dan efek Heat stress (p = 0,508). Hasil uji Rank Spearman menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan beban kerja dan efek Heat stress (p = 0,265 dan r = 0,193). Peneliti menyarankan pekerja dapat menanggulangi efek Heat stress dengan mengkonsumsi minuman sekitar 2,5 liter air setiap hari. selain itu pekerja dapat menggunakan alat pelindung diri dengan pakaian berbahan katun agar menyerap keringat secara maksimal dan menggunakan penutup kepala agar sinar matahari tidak langsung mengenai kulit kepala. Kata Kunci: iklim kerja, status aklimatisasi, Heat stress, tekanan panas, pedagang kaki lim

  • Hubungan Status Aklimatisasi dan Efek Heat Stress pada Pedagang Kaki Lima di Depan Polines (Politeknik Negeri Semarang) Jl. Prof. H. Soedarto, Sh, Tembalang, Semarang

    Abstract:

    According to Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika estimation, in 2014 temperature in Semarang was around 23 – 36°C. High work temperature may cause Heat stress effect, such as: Heat Rash, Heat cramps, Heat syncope, Heat exhaustion, and Heat stroke. In order to avoid Heat stress effect, the workers have to pay attention for these factors: acclimatization status, mineral intake, work load, and personal protective equipment. Tempo newspaper explained that in October 2014 was the highest climate record on Semarang since 1972, it was 36°C. The purpose of this research is to know the correlation between acclimatization status and Heat stress effect on street vendors located in front of Politeknik Negeri Semarang, Jl. Prof. H. Soedarto, SH, Tembalang, Semarang. This research use quantitative method with cross sectional approach. The populations on this research are 38 people who work as street vendors and total samples that taken by using inclusion and exclusion criteria are 35 people. Chi Square test result shows that there were no correlation between acclimatization status and Heat stress effect (p = 0,127), no correlation between mineral intake and Heat stress effect (p = 0,966), no correlation between personal protective equipment and Heat stress effect (p = 0,508). Rank Spearman test result shows that there was no correlation between work load and Heat stress effect (p = 0,265 and r = 0,193). The researcher suggest, the workers can overcome the Heat stress effect by drink 2,5 liters water every day. Besides that, the workers can use personal protective equipment by using a cotton shirt to absorb the sweat maximally and using a head cover to protect the skin head from the sunlight

  • Heat-Related Illness in Athletes
    American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2007
    Co-Authors: Allyson S. Howe, Barry P. Boden
    Abstract:

    Heat stroke in athletes is entirely preventable. Exertional Heat illness is generally the result of increased Heat production and impaired dissipation of Heat. It should be treated aggressively to avoid life-threatening complications. The continuum of Heat illness includes mild disease (Heat edema, Heat Rash, Heat cramps, Heat syncope), Heat exhaustion, and the most severe form, potentially life-threatening Heat stroke. Heat exhaustion typically presents with dizziness, malaise, nausea, and vomiting, or excessive fatigue with accompanying mild temperature elevations. The condition can progress to Heat stroke without treatment. Heat stroke is the most severe form of Heat illness and is characterized by core temperature >104°F with mental status changes. Recognition of an athlete with Heat illness in its early stages and initiation of treatment will prevent morbidity and mortality from Heat stroke. Risk factors for Heat illness include dehydration, obesity, concurrent febrile illness, alcohol consumption, e...

Recognition of an athlete with Heat illness in its early stages and initiation of treatment will prevent morbidity and mortality from Heat stroke. Risk factors for Heat illness include dehydration, obesity, concurrent febrile illness, alcohol consumption, extremes of age, sickle cell trait, and supplement use. Proper education of coaches and athletes, identification of high-risk athletes, concentration on preventative hydration, acclimatization techniques, and appropriate monitoring of athletes for Heat-related events are important ways to prevent Heat stroke. Treatment of Heat illness focuses on rapid cooling. Heat illness is commonly seen by sideline medical staff, especially during the late spring and summer months when temperature and humidity are high. This review presents a comprehensive list of Heat illnesses with a focus on sideline treatments and prevention of Heat illness for the team medical staff.
