Abstract

Chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are often found with gastrointestinal symptoms or even gastrointestinal diseases as one of its comorbid. Vice versa, many cases of gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have developed respiratory dysfunction later. The connection between these two systems has become interesting lately and has led to several studies to prove the association. Several theories have emerged to explain this association. This includes changes in microbiota, the mucosa-related immune system of both systems, side effects of the therapeutic given, and pathomechanism related to gastrointestinal diseases such as GERD. Many studies try to prove the connection between the microbiota in the respiratory and gastrointestinal system, and changing the abundance in one of the systems can affect another. Both of the systems also have a similar mucosal membrane in their lining. Those membranes have an immune defence called Mucosal-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). Lymphatic and circulatory systems facilitate the migration between two mucosal, and these interconnections influence each other. Although the side effect of the therapeutic agent in respiratory diseases (such as inhaled corticosteroid, beta-2 agonist, or anti-cholinergic) is thought to be one of the causative mechanisms, discontinuation of therapy is the second option. Probiotic supplementation to improve microbiota is still not a strong recommendation for management.

Abstract

ABSTRAKBackground : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality and disability worldwide and represents a huge economical burden for the healthcare system. By knowing the level of public understanding of this disease, we were able to find out what education could be given to increase understanding about COPD. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of the non-medical and medical personnel about COPD.Methods : This is descriptive research. The research was conducted cross-sectionally with 200 respondents consisting of 100 medical subjects and 100 non-medical subjects. This research was carried out in the RSSA environment in November 2021. The data collection technique is that respondents filled out a Google Form.Results : The total score of the six categories showed that 73.875% of the medical group and 47.17% of the non-medical group already understood COPD. In all categories, the results of the analysis showing statistical significance (p<0.001).Conclusion : Our study shows significant knowledge about all knowledge of COPD between the general public and medical personnel.Suggestion : socialization to the public about COPD and the importance of the community getting to know COPD in preventive and treatment measures. Keywords: COPD, education, questionnaireÂ
