Latar belakang dan tujuan: Penggunaan pestisida highly toxic banyak terjadi di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Petani Desa Pancasari di Bali merupakan pengguna pestisida aktif, sehingga ada potensi keracunan pestisida. Saat ini belum banyak diketahui perilaku penggunaan pestisida serta alat pelindung diri (APD) dan hubungannya dengan keluhan kesehatan petani di wilayah tersebut.Metode: Survei cross sectional dilakukan pada 87 petani hortikultura. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan observasi. Data dianalisis secara bivariat dengan chi square test dan multivariat dengan regresi logistik untuk mengetahui hubungan antara keluhan kesehatan spesifik terkait pestisida (sakit kepala, gatal-gatal, kelelahan meningkat dan mual) dengan karakteristik sosiodemografi, pengetahuan dan perilaku penggunaan pestisida serta penggunaan APD.Hasil: Mayoritas petani berumur ≥ 30 tahun (94,3%), laki-laki (81,6%) dengan pendidikan menengah kebawah (78,2%). Sebanyak 54,1% petani memiliki pengetahuan cukup baik tentang pestisida dan APD, namun perilakunya masih buruk. Sebanyak 60,9% petani memiliki keluhan kesehatan spesifik. Keluhan kesehatan dijumpai berhubungan dengan penggunaan pestisida golongan organophosfat (AOR=3,74; 95%CI: 1,33-10,48), lama hari pemakaian baju kerja sebelum dicuci (AOR=1,37; 95%CI: 1,08-1,75), tidak menggunakan baju panjang pada saat pencampuran (AOR=0,25; 95%CI: 0,09-0,76) dan tidak memakai masker pada saat penyemprotan (AOR=0,18; 95%CI: 0,05-0,69).Simpulan: Keluhan kesehatan spesifik pada petani berhubungan dengan penggunaan pestisida golongan organophosfat, perilaku pemakaian baju kerja dan penggunaan APD yang tidak tepat.
Background and purpose: Uses of highly toxic pesticides mostly occur in developing countries, including Indonesia. Farmers at Pancasari village in Bali were active pesticide users, that potential for pesticide poisoning. Pesticides and personal protective equipment (PPE) use and their relationship with health complaints on farmers in that region are not well known.Methods: Cross sectional survey was conducted among 87 horticultural farmers. Univariate, bivariate (chi square test) and multivariate (using logistic regression) analysis were conducted to understand relationship between health complaints related to pesticides used (at least two health complaints of: headache, itching, fatigue and nausea) with socio-demographics, knowledge and use of pesticides and PPE behaviour.Results: The majority (94.3%) of farmers aged less than 30 years and 81.6% were male with secondary education or lower (78.2%). More than half (54.1%) farmers had moderate knowledge about pesticides and PPE, however they had poor behaviour. A total of 60.9% farmers experienced specific health complaints. Health complaints were associated with use of organophosphate (AOR=3.74; 95%CI: 1.33-10.48), number of days use of work clothes before being washed (AOR=1.37; 95%CI: 1.08-1.75), not wearing long-sleeve clothes when mixing pesticide (AOR=0.25; 95%CI: 0.09-0.76) and not wearing a mask when spraying pesticide (AOR=0.18; 95%CI: 0.05-0.69).Conclusion: Health complaints were associated with type of organophosfat pesticide, behavior of work clothes used before being washed and inadequate use of personal protective equipments.
