Abstract
Introduction: Respiratory allergies prevalence in Indonesia, Asia, and the world ranges from 4-10 %. Patients with respiratory allergies and other chronic respiratory diseases often experienced deterioration of productivity and concentration ability. This study aims to observe the correlation between respiratory allergy and concentration ability in adults. Methods: The design of the study was retrospective observational. 18-25 years old participants with or without a respiratory allergy were included. The Respiratory Allergy Prediction Test (RAPt) questionnaire was used to collect respiratory allergy data. At the same time, the Krawietz Concentration Scale questionnaire was used to measure concentration ability. Results: There were 149 subjects in this study, with the female proportion was 101 (67.79 %), and the male was 48 (32.21 %). The mean age of the subjects was 19.30 ± 0.96 years. The result of this study indicated that there was no significant correlation between respiratory allergy (RAPt ≥ 1) with reading and listening focus (RLF) and (p= 0.231), control of focus before sleep (CFBS) (p= 0.544), RLF-CFBS (p= 0.524), and concentration ability (p= 0.538). However, there was a tendency between respiratory allergy (RAPt ≥ 1) and uncontrolled focus (p= 0.070; CI 90 %; power 55.60 %), and there was also a significant correlation between respiratory allergy (RAPt ≥ 3) and concentration ability (p= 0.029; CI 95 %; power 59.84 %). Conclusion: Respiratory allergy patients can perform types of work that require high concentrations only if their RAPt result is less than 3.
