Abstract

Tujuan penyelidikan ini adalah untuk mengkaji hubungan diantara amplitud akomodasi (amplitude of accommodation) dan masalah refraksi (refractive error) di kalangan penuntut·penuntut perubatan dan kejururawatan daripada Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan (PPSP), Universiti Sains Malaysia. Disamping itu, faktor-faktor lain yang berkaitan dengan rabunjauh (myopia) turut disiasat. Sejumlah 110 penuntut-penuntut perubatan dan kejururawatan daripada PPSP Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan terlibat dalam penyelidikan ini. Sample dipilih daripada populasi dengan kaedah 'stratified random sampling' (stratified random sampling method). Masalah rabun masing-masing ditentukan, jarak 'near point' (near point distance) dan jarak 'far point'' (far point distance) diukur pada kedua-dua mata pada masa yang berasingan. Amplitud akomodasi dikira secara penolakan 'far point'(unit diopter) daripada 'near point' (unit diopter). Data analisis dilakukan dengan program SPSS. To describe the association between amplitude of accommodation and refractive error as well as to evaluate the risk factors associated with myopia among medical and nursing students from School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. A total of 110 medical and nursing students with both eyes classified into the same refractive state namely emmetropia, low myopia and moderate to high myopia were enrolled in this study. The sample was randomly selected from the population with the stratified random sampling method. Refractive error, near point distance and far point distance were measured. Each eye of each subject was tested separately. The amplitude of accommodation was calculated by subtracting the far point (in diopters) from the near point (in diopter). Data analyzes was performed using SPSS software.
