Abstract

This community service aims to measure the awareness regarding ear and hearing health of Ciangsana-Nagrak residents. It also aims to measure the frequency of ear or hearing problems in said population. Health promotion and ear health check-up were done simultaneously, where the residents were also asked to answer a questionnaire before and after they received a short education about various ear and hearing problems. Health education was done using standing banners and flip charts. All filled and submitted surveys were collected as raw data. Data analysis was done on raw data using descriptive analysis and paired t-test by Microsoft Excel 365 software. Health check-ups on ear health include examination, ear toilet, and treatment of ear ailments. Seven ear ailments found in this community service were impacted ear wax uni- and bilateral, chronic suppurative otitis media, vertigo, external cholesteatoma, tinnitus, and previously perforated bilateral tympanic membrane. The P value of the questionnaire before and after education was 0.007. Henceforth indicating the importance of ear health and hearing education and statistically significant in promoting public awareness of Ciangsana-Nagrak population.

Abstract

Background Air pollution, particularly in urban areas such as West Jakarta, is a major public health concern. Longterm exposure to pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) 2.5, can lead to respiratory problems, including acute otolaryngologic diseases. Outdoor workers, such as those involved in urban infrastructure maintenance, are more vulnerable to these conditions. This study aimed to assess the relationship among air pollution levels, mucociliary clearance function, and the prevalence of acute otolaryngologic diseases among outdoor workers in West Jakarta. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 Public Infrastructure and Facility Maintenance (PPSU) workers in the Cengkareng, Rawa Buaya, and Cengkareng Timur sub-districts. Air quality was assessed using data from nearby monitoring stations, measuring PM2.5 levels and the Air Quality Index (AQI). Health assessments included anamnesis, patient-reported outcome questionnaires, saccharin transit test, and otorhinolaryngologic endoscopic assessments. Results The average PM2.5 level was 57.58 μg/m³ (high risk for respiratory issues), and the AQI was 144.71 µg/m³ (unhealthy). The saccharin transit time test averaged 427.29 seconds, with a mean nasal floor length of 63.76 mm. The prevalence of acute rhinopharyngitis was 59.2%, rhinosinusitis 8.3%, occupational rhinitis 9.2%, and vitamin D insufficiency 67.5%. However, no significant correlation was found between air pollution exposure, mucociliary function, and acute otolaryngologic diseases (p > 0.05). Conclusions Despite high exposure to air pollution, no significant relationship was observed between air pollution, mucociliary clearance, and acute otolaryngologic diseases among PPSU workers. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longitudinal designs are needed.
