"Merokok merupakan salah satu mekanisme koping yang dilakukan mahasiswa untuk mengurangi stresor. Walaupun mahasiswa sebagai individu dengan pendidikan tinggi yang dapat diasumsikan memiliki pengetahuan baik terkait penyakit akibat merokok seperti kanker paru dan PPOK, masih ditemukan mahasiswa yang menjadi perokok aktif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan tingkat pengetahuan tentang kanker paru dan PPOK dengan sikap terhadap rokok pada mahasiswa perokok aktif. Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif korelasi dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 129 mahasiswa perokok aktif tingkat sarjana di Universitas Indonesia. Pengetahuan kanker paru diukur menggunakan instrumen Lung Cancer Awareness Measure (Lung CAM), pengetahuan PPOK diukur menggunakan Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ), dan instrumen Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) digunakan untuk mengukur sikap terhadap rokok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 40,3% responden berpengetahuan baik tentang kanker paru. 49,6% responden berpengetahuan baik tentang PPOK, dan 42,6% responden memiliki sikap negatif terhadap rokok. Tidak ada hubungan bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan tentang kanker paru dengan sikap terhadap rokok (p=0,093; α=0,05). Begitu juga antara tingkat pengetahuan tentang PPOK dengan sikap terhadap rokok (p=0,222; α=0,05).

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected various aspects of life, especially for people with chronic diseases such as lung cancer. The changes due to the pandemic impact their quality of life (QoL) which is important for their well-being. This study aimed to provide an overview of lung cancer patients’ QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Thoracic Oncology Outpatient Clinic of Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital, Jakarta. Patients were recruited using consecutive sampling methods. QoL was assessed using the Indonesian version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 items (EORTC QLQ-C30). This study also assessed the patients’ sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and the factors related to COVID-19, including concerns about treatment delays, exposure to COVID-19 information, barriers to access to healthcare facilities and treatment continuation, psychological pressure, and interpersonal relationships with family and friends.

Results: 94% and 6% of lung cancer patients have moderate and poor QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic. All patients have impaired QoL, but no statistically significant relationship was found between QoL and the subjects’ characteristics or the factors related to the pandemic. Most patients are concerned about treatment delays and experiencing psychological pressure, but only a few patients experience treatment barriers during the pandemic.

Conclusion: This study showed an impaired QoL in lung cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further research and development of more holistic and comprehensive interventions for lung cancer patients, particularly during remote treatment, are needed."

"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Debu kayu sebagai telah lama dicurigai sebagai salah satu penyebab karsinoma pada paru. Makalah ini bertujuan memberikan bukti adanya hubungan antara pajanan debu kayu di tempat kerja dengan kanker paru pada seorang perajin furnitur.Metode: Dilakukan pencarian artikel berbasis online pada PubMed dan Google Scholar pada Juli 2018 dengan kata kunci wood dust dan lung cancer kemudian ditelaah secara kritis menurut kriteria penelitian egaraic yang relevan dari Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine.Hasil: Telaah kritis dilakukan atas 2 studi. Yang pertama kajian meta analisis tahun 2015, menyebutkan terdapat peningkatan risiko yang signifikan antara pajanan debu kayu dengan kanker paru (RR 1,21; 95% CI 1.05 - 1,39, n=33). Sebaliknya, ditemukan risiko rendah (RR 0,63; 95% CI 0,39-0,99 n = 5) pada studi yang berasal dari egara-negara Nordik yang karakter kayunya adalah kayu lunak. Meta-analisis ini memberikan bukti kuat hubungan antara pajanan debu kayu dan kanker paru, yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh wilayah geografis penelitian. Alasan untuk perkiraan efek wilayah ini masih harus diklarifikasi, tetapi mungkin menunjukkan efek diferensial untuk debu kayu keras dan kayu lunak. Studi terakhir berdesain cross sectional melakukan 2 buah penelitian dan menemukan peningkatan risiko kanker paru-paru untuk pajanan kumulatif substansial terhadap debu kayu (OR 1,4; 95% CI 1,0-2,0) dan (OR 1,7; 95% CI 1,1- 2,7).Kesimpulan: Kedua studi yang terpilih menyatakan bahwa pajanan debu kayu meningkatkan risiko terjadinya kanker paru.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Wood dust has long been suspected as a cause of lung cancer. This paper provides evidence of a relationship between wood dust exposure at work and lung cancer in a furniture craftsman.Method: Related articles were searched online on PubMed and Google Scholar in July 2018 with the keywords wood dust and lung cancer. Both were examined according to relevant etiologic research criteria from the Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine.Results: Critical study was carried out on 2 studies. The first meta-analysis study in 2015 mentioned a significant increase in risk between exposure to wood dust with lung cancer (RR 1,21; 95% CI 1,05 - 1,39, n=33). Conversely, a low risk was found (RR 0,63; 95% CI 0,39 -0,99 n = 5) in studies originating from the Nordic countries where the wood character is soft wood. This meta-analysis provides strong evidence of a relationship between wood dust exposure and lung cancer, which is strongly influenced by the geographic area of ​​the study. The reason for estimating the specific effects of this area remains to be clarified, but it might show a differential effect for hardwood and softwood dust. The last cross sectional design study conducted 2 studies and found an increased risk of lung cancer for substantial cumulative exposure to wood dust with cancer control (OR 1,4 95% CI 1,0-2,0) and (OR 1,7 with 95% CI 1,1-2,7).Conclusion: Both selected studies state that exposure to wood dust increases the risk of lung cancer, for this reason, efforts are needed to control wood dust exposure in the workplace."

"Latar belakang: Trombosis vena dalam merupakan komplikasi tersering yang dijumpai pada keganasan. Insidens trombosis vena dalam pada kanker paru sangatlah tinggi bila dibandingkan dengan populasi umum. Saat ini belum ada pedoman alur diagnosis yang dapat menegakkan diagnosis trombosis vena dalam pada kanker paru. Selain itu, penelitian serupa juga belum pernah dilakukan di Indonesia sehingga hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi penelitian pendahuluan yang menitikberatkan pada trombosis vena dalam pada kanker paru.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai proporsi trombosis vena dalam menggunakan kriteria klinis yaitu skor Wells’ pada pasien kanker paru yang dirawat di RS Persahabatan.Metode: Desan penelitian ini menggunakan metode potong lintang. Kami melakukan pemeriksaan pada pasien kanker paru yang dirawat sejak September 2012 hingga Februari 2013. Kami menyingkirkan pasien kanker paru dengan penyakit infeksi serta pasien kanker paru dengan sediaan histopatologi yang belum tegak. Pemeriksaan fungsi hemostasis seperti PT, APTT dan D-dimer tetap dilakukan bersama dengan penggunaan kriteria klnis skor Wells’. Diagnosis trombosis vena dalam ditentukan apabila skor Wells berat.Hasil: Subjek dalam penelitian ini terbanyak adalah laki-laki (69,2%) dengan kelompok usia terbanyak yaitu kelompok usia 51-60 tahun (33,3%). Jenis histopatologi yang terbamyak ditemukan adalah jenis adenokarsinoma (57,7%). Hampir sebagian besar pasien yaitu 64 pasien (82,1%) memiliki D-dimer >500 dan hanya 14 pasien (17,9%) dengan D-dimer normal. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan proporsi trombosis vena dalam menggunakan skor Wells adalah 23,1%.%. Faktor-faktor seperti jenis kelamin, usia, riwayat merokok, jenis tumor, stadium tumor, status penampilan, serta fungsi hemostasis tidak berpengaruh terhadap trombosis vena dalam namun nilai D-dimer >500 berpengaruh terhadap trombosis vena dalam.Kesimpulan: Proporsi trombosis vena dalam pada pasien kanker paru di RS Persahabatan hampir sama jumlahnya dengan penelitian-penelitian di negara lain yaitu sekitar 21%. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa skor Wells masih mempunyai peran penting dalam menentukan trombosis vena dalam mengingat penggunaannya mudah dan praktis. Penelitian selanjutnya diperlukan untuk menilai metode yang mudah dan sederhana digunakan dalam praktek sehari-hari bersama dengan skor Wells dalam menentukan trombosis vena dalam pada kanker paru.

Background: Deep vein trombosis (DVT) is the common complication found in malignancy. Its incidence in lung cancer is much higher than in general population. Since there were no current diagnosis guideline which could help identify DVT in lung cancer and there were no similar study conducted before in Indonesia, thus this study could be a pilot study for further research focusing DVT in lung cancer.

Objective: The objective of this study is to find deep vein trombosis proportion among lung cancer patients which is determined by clinical criteria such as Wells’ score in Persahabatan Hospital.

Method: The study design is using a cross-sectional method. We examined the lung cancer patients who were hospitalized within September 2012 to Februari 2013. We excluded the lung cancer patients with infection comorbidity or who had not yet had histopathological confirmation. The hemostatis work up included PT, APTT, and D-dimer were conducted along with clinical Wells’ score criteria. Deep vein trombosis among the patients is determined by severe Wells’ score.

Results: Subjects in this study were mostly male (69,2%) with predominant age group of 51-60 years old (33,3%). Predominant histopathologic sub type was adenocarcinoma (57,7%). Mostly, 64 patients (82,1%) had D-dimer >500 and only 14 patients (17,9%) with normal D-dimer. This study found that deep vein trombosis proportion is 23,1% using Wells’ score. Clinical characteristics such as sex, age, smoking history, tumor cell type, tumor staging, performance status and hemostasis function does not have correlation with DVT but score of D-dimer >500 have correlation with DVT.

Conclusion: The DVT proportion among lung cancer patients in Persahabatan Hospital is similar found in some studies in other countries which is approximately 21%. This study revealed that the simple and practical application of Wells’ score in determining DVT is still have valueable role. Further study is needed to find the best simple and easy methods along with Wells’ score in determining DVT in daily practice."
