“…Multivariate analysis result, repeated dives on the same day had been unproven to affect on poor traditional divers's quality of life with decompression sickness, statistically no siginificant (p > 0.05). This was not in line with the research that health related physical and mental component summary scores were lower in divers with repeated dives on the same day (Irgens et al, 2016). Repetitive dives are considered to increase risk of decompression sickness.…”

“…This was in line with the research that divers having experienced loss of consciousness due to gas cut had lower SF-36 sub-scores then the rest of the diving population (Sundal et al, 2013). Health related physical and mental component summary scores were lower in divers with history of loss of consciousness during diving (Irgens et al, 2016). Loss of consciousness on diver, during diving or after diving happens for many reasons.…”

“…Divers with an incident of decompression sickness performed worse in a memory test and reported slightly more neuropsychiatric symptoms (Bast-Pettersen et al, 2015). Repeated dives on the same day, frequency of decompression sickness history, history of loss of consciousness during diving, reported lower physical component summary scores and mental component summary scores of health related quality of life (Irgens et al, 2016).…”

“…Reduced SF-36 scores were seen from all scales among divers who reported previous decompression sickness compared to those without decompression sickness (Irgens et al, 2007). Health related physical and mental component summary scores were lower in divers with previous neurologic dekompression sickness (Irgens et al, 2016). Previous decompression sickness may predispose to another episode by reducing the body's ability to compensate for any subsequent bubble formation (Mitchell, 2005a).…”

Background: Decompression sickness is thought to have effect on health related quality of life (HRQL), however, there is a little research in Indonesia. We measured HRQL on traditional diver with decompression sickness in Karimunjawa. The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of diving exposure on traditional diver's quality of live with decompression sickness. Materials and Methods: This research was an observational analytic research with casecontrol study design. The participants were 66 volunteer traditional divers with decompression sickness. The case group (33 volunteer who had poor quality of life) while the control group (33 volunteer who had good quality of life). HRQL were measured using the SF-36 questionnaire. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis. Result: Diving exposure variables that had been proven to affect poor quality of life were diving depth ≥ 30 meters (p = 0.014; OR = 38.410; 95% CI = 2.114-698.028), diving duration ≥ 2 hours (p = 0.021; OR = 9.860; 95% CI = 1.410-68.943), history of loss of consciousness during diving (p = 0.009; OR = 12.456, 95% CI = 1.884-82.363), frequency of decompression sickness history > 1 time (p = 0.020; OR = 8.834; 95% CI = 1.404-55.584). Diving exposure variable that unproven to affect poor quality of life was repeated dives on the same day. Conclusion: Diving exposure variables that had been proven to affect poor quality of life on traditional diver with decompression sickness were diving depth ≥ 30 meters, diving duration ≥ 2 hours, history of loss of consciousness during diving, frequency of previous decompression sickness > 1 time.

“…Based on the Diver Registry we have previously conducted three register-based studies on mortality, cancer and the perinatal outcome in the children of male divers [3][4][5], as well as a comprehensive questionnaire study, the "Norwegian diver 2011" [6]. 6.6% of those included in the Diver Registry are women.…”
