EFFECT OF OCCUPATIONAL, NON OCCUPATIONAL, AND SOCIODEMOGRAPHICS CHARACTERISTICS FACTORS TO THE FATIGUE RISK OF SHIP STEEL SMELTING PRODUCTION WORKERS

Abstract

Work fatigue is a process of decreasing efficiency, work performance, and reduced physical strength or endurance to continue the activities that must be done. This study was conducted to determine the effect of occupational factors (work climate, physical workload), non-occupational factors (sleep quality, disease history, exercise habits, drinking water consumption), and socio-demographic characteristics (age, marital status, nutritional status, childhood). work) against work fatigue. Based on the results of research using the Industrial Fatigue Research Committee questionnaire, as many as 36% of workers experienced moderate fatigue and 22% of workers experienced severe fatigue. The research method used ordinal logistic regression, Mann Whitney and Kruskall Wallis. The results of the partial test showed that sleep quality (p-value 0.021), age (p-value 0.009), and years of service (p-value 0.000) had an effect on work fatigue. The results of the different test indicate that there are no variables that have differences in work fatigue. The recommendations given are doing progressive muscle relaxation, education about important aspects of sleep quality, changing work positions, providing job rotation and training planning, conducting regular and periodic medical check-ups.
