“…The occurrence of SBS can be recognized in various environments such as office spaces (Lim et al 2015;Magnavita 2015;Tsai, Lin, and Chan 2012), residential environments (Engvall et al 2010;Takigawa et al 2010Takigawa et al , 2012, schools (Norbäck et al 2016a(Norbäck et al , 2016bSaijo et al 2010;Shan et al 2016;Takaoka, Suzuki, and Norbäck 2016), universities (Ahmad and Hassim 2015) or hospitals (Chang et al 2015;Loupa, Fotopoulou, and Tsagarakis 2015;Wang et al 2015). The core symptoms of SBS may concern with the health status of occupants, either physically or mentally.…”

Health and well-being are vitally important aspects of people centric building design and are the roots of productivity. Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a collection of factors that can negatively affect physical health in several ways. Besides physical health is also related to psychological well-being because the human body is one interactive biological system. This paper focuses on reviewing the current state of knowledge on building sickness syndrome which has been prevalent as a building illness since the 1970s especially in offices and schools. While the concepts of intelligent, smart and sustainable buildings have gained considerable attention during recent decades, there is now increasing attention being given to designing healthy buildings. This study provides a review about SBS symptoms. Several negative effects of SBS are identified and potential solutions are advocated. Finally, the study stresses the role of built environment and concludes that ongoing research towards tackling SBS and developing healthy indoor environments should not be limited to a single formula as any health-related building design approach is dependent on several interacting factors.

“…Kljub temu, da zaposleni v bolnišničnem okolju zagotavljajo zdravstveno oskrbo za paciente, pogosto niso pozorni na lastne zdravstvene težave (Chang, et al, 2015). Ulrich in sodelavci (2008) so raziskovali dejavnike fizičnega okolja, ki vplivajo na rezultate dela pri zaposlenih v bolnišničnem okolju.…”

“…Rezultati izvedene raziskave nam podajo ugotovitve, da avtorji (Chang, et al, 2015;Khosravinejad, et al, 2015;Vafaeenasab, et al, 2015;Aljeesh, et al, 2016) navajajo različno pogostnost simptomov SBS pri zaposlenih v bolnišničnem okolju, ki znaša od 40,7 % do 86,4 %, kar so sicer višje vrednosti v primerjavi z znano švedsko longitudinalno raziskavo, ki je bila izvedena na vzorcu 225 zaposlenih iz osmih bolnišnic (Nordström, et al, 1994). Slednja navaja 30 % pogostost simptomov SBS, ki se pojavljajo v obliki utrujenosti, draženja očesnih veznic in občutka suhe kože na obrazu.…”

Uvod: Okoljski dejavniki imajo pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju in krepitvi zdravja. Namen raziskave je bil oceniti pogostost simptomov sindroma bolnih stavb (SBS) pri zaposlenih v bolnišnici.Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna raziskovalna metoda. Pregled strokovne in znanstvene literature je bil izveden v podatkovnih bazah COBIB.SI, Google Učenjak, Digitalna knjižnica Dlib.si, CIHAHL, Cochrane Library in PubMed. Napredno iskanje je potekalo s pomočjo Boolovih logičnih operaterjev AND / IN, v kombinaciji ključnih besed: »sindrom bolnih stavb«, »bolnišnice«, »zdravstveni delavci«, »okoljski dejavniki«, »sick building syndrome«, »hospitals«, »health care workers«, »environmental factors«. Iz iskalnega nabora 238 zadetkov je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 11 člankov. Za prikaz pregleda podatkovnih baz in odločanja o uporabnosti pregledanih virov je bila uporabljena metodologija PRISMA. Izvedena je bila vsebinska integrativna analiza spoznanj raziskav.Rezultati: Ugotovitve raziskave so bile združene v štiri vsebinske kategorije: (1) pogostost simptomov SBS; (2) raznolikost simptomov SBS; (3) okoljski dejavniki v povezavi s pogostostjo simptomov SBS; (4) okoljski dejavniki v povezavi z ostalimi dejavniki za nastanek SBS.Diskusija in zaključek: Raziskave kažejo, da je pogostost simptomov SBS med zaposlenimi v bolnišničnem okolju visoka. Okoljski dejavniki so povezani z nastankom simptomov SBS med zaposlenimi v bolnišničnem okolju. V Sloveniji potrebujemo raziskavo, ki bi proučila učinek okoljskih dejavnikov na pogostost simptomov SBS pri zaposlenih v bolnišničnem okolju.

“…Adapun keluhan yang dirasakan adalah sakit kepala, pusing, dan kepala terasa berat. Hasil yang sama juga diperoleh pada penelitian Chang et al (2015), yang menyatakan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifi kan antara PM 2,5 dengan keluhan kesehatan. Menurut Sobari (2004), ruang pada perpustakaan memiliki sumber pencemar internal yang berasal dari debu yang menempel pada buku koleksi perpustakaan.…”

PM2,5, and temperature are one of the physical factors that can affect indoor air quality. Indoor air quality affect human health because most people spend their time in room, that causing health complaint. The purpose of this study was to describe the PM2,5, temperature, and characteristics of worker with health complaint in Campus B of Airlangga University. The research was observational with cross sectional design, and analyzed descriptively. Data was collected by measuring of PM2,5, and temperature, observing, and interviewing. The results showed that the number of respondents who suffered health complaint were 75.00%. The most of health complaint in worker is sneezing. The cross-tabulation between PM2,5 and health complaint fulfi lled the standard were 100.00%; temperature and health complaint was not fulfi lled the standard were 100.00%. Most of workers who have health complaint is the age group of less than or equal to 40 years with female sex, and working period is less than or equal to 5 years. It is suggested to the library to set air conditioner according to KepMenKes RI No. 1405/MENKES/SK/XI2002 18-28°C, to maintain technical and non-technical AC, to do medical check up regularly for workers, to spend time out of building while not working.Keywords: PM2,5, temperature, health complaint, library
