BAGASSOSIS , FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY, QUALITY OF LIFE, SUGARCANE FACTORY WORKER.

Background: “Bagassosis” is a respiratory disease. Bagasse is a by-product of sugarcane crushing, which size range from 0.5-3 microns known as the Respirable dust, to which sugar factory workers exposed. Bagassosis an interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary impairment occurs due to an occupational exposure to Bagasse. Sugar industry is one of the most significant agriculture based industry which promotes job opportunities and help in development of society where both literate and illiterate peoples from rural areas work. Repeated exposure to dust of sugar factory may experience the serious impact on their Quality of life in terms of cost of treatments and loss of income. Aim: To find out the impact of Bagassosis on functional capacity and quality of life among the sugarcane factory workers. Objective: To study the impact of Bagassosis on functional capacity by using 6 MWT and Quality of Life by using SF-36 Questionnaire. Methodology: There were 172 subjects taken age range between 25-58 years. As per inclusion criteria subject had more than 5 years of working experience and working for more than 8-10 hours a day. Subjects was assessed for functional capacity using 6-minute walking test after that subjects were asked questions according to SF- 36 Questionnaire and their answers were recorded in the Questionnaire form to find out the impact of Bagassosis on their quality of life. The data was taken on the excel sheet and data analysis was done then results were calculated. Results: 75% subjects had a reduced functional capacity due to exposure to Bagasse while, 25% of the subject had a normal functional capacity and also Vitality and social functioning are highly affected dimension in this study with 55.2 % and 76.2 % respectively. Physical functioning 0%, physical health 3.5%, emotional problem 14%, emotional well-being 0%, pain 4.7% and general health 0.6% dimension comparatively less affected. Conclusion: The above study concluded that there is an impact of Bagassosis on functional capacity and Quality of Life among sugarcane factory workers. It’s been concluded that there is a reduced functional capacity among 75% sugarcane factory workers. Vitality and social functioning are highly affected dimension in this study with 55.2 % and 76.2 % respectively. Physical functioning, physical health, emotional problem, emotional well-being, pain and general health dimension comparatively less affected
