Respiratory problems in Prabumulih city are a problem for the health sector. The high mobility of vehicles operating along the causeway raises the problem of being exposed to a lot of dust exposure to workers who work on the highway every day as parking attendants. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with complaints of respiratory disorders in parking attendants in Prabumulih City. This study uses a cross sectional method with a sample of 50 parking attendants. The sampling technique is Simple Random Sampling with terms of inclusion and exclusion. Data analysis was done by univariate and bivariate by chi-square test. The results of the bivariate analysis of the study stated: there was a relationship between age (p = 0,000 OR = 4,430), work period (p = 0,005 OR = 2,082), use of PPE (p = 0,000 OR = 5,720), smoking habits (p = 0,000 OR = 3,187 ), length of work (p = 0.038 OR = 1.770) with complaints of respiratory problems in parking attendants.
