HUBUNGAN KADAR FORMALDEHIDA PADA MAHASISWA PEROKOK AKTIF DI KECAMATAN SUKARAMI KOTA PALEMBANG

Latar Belakang :Formaldehida merupakan senyawa kimia berbahaya yang banyak
ditemukan dalam asap rokok dan dapat menyebabkan berbagai gangguan
kesehatan, termasuk kanker. Tujuan Penelitian: Untuk mengetahui Hubungan
Kadar Formaldehida pada Mahasiswa Perokok Aktif di Kecamatan Sukarami
Metode Penelitian: untuk mengetahui Hubungan Kadar Formaldehida pada
Mahasiswa Perokok Aktif di Kecamatan Sukarami Kota Palembang. Desain
penelitian yang digunakan cross sectional yaitu untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar
Formaldehida berdasarkan variabel independen dengan variabel dependen.
Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Jurusan Teknologi Laboratorium Medis
Poltekkes Kemenkes Palembang pada bulan Februari – April 2025. Populasi yang
di teliti dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswa perokok aktif di Kecamatan
Sukarami Kota Palembang. Jumlah sampel yang dibutuhkan karena populasi tidak
diketahui, maka perhitungan sampel dapat menggunakan rumus Lemeshow.
Diketahui Z = 1,96 p = 18,8% dan d = 10%. Dari hasil perhitungan didapatkan
jumlah sampel sebanyak 58,22 dibulatkan menjadi 60. Teknik sampling yang

digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah purposive sampling.Hasil Penelitian: Rata-
rata kadar Formaldehida pada responden adalah 0,027 mg/L dan seluruh responden

memiliki kadar Formaldehida masih dalam rentang nilai normal (<1mg/L).
ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar formaldehida pada mahasisawa
perokok elektrik (p=0,009) dan perokok konvensional (p=0,00013 ). Kesimpulan:
Terdapat Hubungan Kadar Formaldehida pada mahasiswa perokok aktif di
kecamatan sukarami kota palembang

Background: Formaldehyde is a dangerous chemical compound that is widely
found in cigarette smoke and can cause various health problems, including cancer.
Research Objective: To determine the Relationship between Formaldehyde Levels
in Active Smoking Students in Sukarami District, Palembang City Research
Method: to determine the Relationship between Formaldehyde Levels in Active
Smoking Students in Sukarami District, Palembang City. The research design used
is cross-sectional, namely to determine the relationship between Formaldehyde
levels based on independent variables and dependent variables. This research was
conducted at the Laboratory of the Medical Laboratory Technology Department,
Poltekkes Kemenkes Palembang in February - April 2025. The population studied
in this study were all active smoking students in Sukarami District, Palembang City.
The number of samples needed because the population is unknown, the sample
calculation can use the Lemeshow formula. It is known that Z = 1.96 p = 18.8%
and d = 10%. From the calculation results, the number of samples was 58.22
rounded to 60. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling.
Research Results: The average Formaldehyde level in respondents was 0.027 mg/L
and all respondents had Formaldehyde levels still within the normal range
(<1mg/L). a significant relationship was found between formaldehyde levels in
students who smoked electric cigarettes (p=0.009) and conventional smokers
(p=0.00013). Conclusion: There is a Relationship Between Formaldehyde Levels
in active smoker students in Sukarami District, Palembang City
