- Abstract
Carbon monoxide, in general, can cause hypoxia and lead to inflammation and stress. This study aims to look at the relationship of carbon monoxide with stress on city transportation drivers. The study design used a cross-sectional study. The sample in this study was 73 city transportation drivers who met the inclusion criteria, a man, smoking, having health insurance and willing to draw blood. Research data were obtained by interview for stress measurement and laboratory testing of blood samples to determine carboxyhemoglobin levels. Data analysis uses simple linear regression for bivariate analysis. The results showed there was a relationship between carboxyhemoglobin and stress (p-value = 0.003), the level of weak relationship was r = 0.344. The line equation is obtained 0.118, that iscarboxyhemoglobin affects stress by 11.8%, while the rest is influenced by other variables. Exposure to carbon monoxide increases carboxyhemoglobin levels so that it can increase stress. It is hoped that public transport drivers can reduce smoking behavior and conduct periodic testing of vehicle engines.
