Dyspepsia syndrome is heartburn, nausea, early satiety, vomiting, belching, a full

occupation, eating pattern, and stress levels. The study aims to determine the factors
associated with the incidence of dyspepsia syndrome in the inpatient ward of Kencana
Hospital Serang City in 2021. This study used a cross-sectional study design, and the
data were analyzed bivariate with a Chi-square test approach. The study population
were all patients in the internal medicine inpatient room as many as 57 people. The
sample in this study is total sampling. Variables of age, gender, occupation, eating
pattern were collected with questionnaire, stress levels used DASS questionnaire. The
results showed that the variables of age (pv = 0.018), gender (pv = 0.035), occupation
(pv = 0.008), and eating pattern (pv = 0.024) had a significant relationship with the
incidence of dyspepsia syndrome, while the stress level variable had no relationship
with the incidence of dyspepsia syndrome. It is expected to improve health services
