Pekerjaan dengan menggunakan alat mekanis yang menghasilkan getaran lengan tangan selama 8 jam sehari dalam seminggu dapat berakibat menimbulkan keluhan Carpal Tunnel Syndrom (CTS). Pekerja furnitur di Gilingan Surakarta yang menggunakan gerinda untuk menghaluskan dan memotong material berpotensi mengalami keluhan subyektif CTS berupa nyeri, mati rasa, kesemutan yang dapat berdampak pada kesehatan dan produktifitas pekerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa korelasi antara paparan getaran dan faktor personal yang berpengaruh terhadap keluhan CTS pada pekerja furnitur gilingan. Penelitain observasional kuantitatif dengan metode cross sectional di sentra furnitur gilingan. Jumlah responden sebanyak 54 orang dengan teknik purposive sampling yaitu pekerja yang mengalami paparan getaran mekanis dari gerinda selama 6 -8 jam perhari selama seminggu. Vibration meter digunakan untuk mengukur getaran dan kuesioner "CTS Diagnostic Questionnaire" oleh Sheffield Primary Care Trust-Hand and Elbow Pain digunakan untuk mengukur keluhan subyektif CTS dari pekerja. Korelasi Pearson dan spearman digunakan dalam penelitian ini dan hasil menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara getaran dan kebiasan merokok terhadap keluhan subyektif CTS pekerja, sedangkan usia, masa kerja, IMT tidak memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan CTS.
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Noise intensity that exceeds Threshold Limit Value (TLV) can give impacts on non-auditory on the workers in a factory, in the form of an increase in blood pressure and pulse rate. Currently, health problems due to noise have caused the company’s total loss to reach 300 billion dollars due to absenteeism rate, decreased productivity, and treatment for occupational diseases. Research in Indonesia, especially the textile industry in the city of Surakarta, shows that noise from weaving machines with an intensity above 100 dBA affects blood pressure and pulse rate. This research was conducted at textile industry in Surakarta, one of the largest textile companies in Surakarta where the company has not been able to overcome the problem of noise intensity that exceeds the TLV which has the potential to cause blood pressure and pulse disturbances, and even decreased hearing function. This study aims to determine the relationship between noise intensity with blood pressure and pulse rate in textile industry workers. </p><p><strong>Method:</strong> This research is a correlation study, which is connecting the measurement variables of noise intensity with blood pressure and pulse rate. The sample in this study were 30 female workers in the weaving division who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instruments used in measuring noise were sound level meters and sphygmomanometers. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between noise intensity with blood pressure and pulse rate disturbances.</p><p><strong>Result:</strong> The study showed significant correlation between noise intensity and pulse rate with a <em>p </em>value of 0.029, but noise intensity with blood pressure disturbances does not correlate, with a <em>p </em>value of 0.443.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>There is a relationship between noise intensity and pulse rate of the workers in a factory.</p><p> </p>
The textile industries’ growth in 2018 have contributed to national economic growth (Kemenperin, 2018). Enhancing competitiveness through conductive business climate is a strategic step to increase productivity (Kemenperin, 2017). Surakarta is one of the major cities in Indonesia famous for its textile products. Based on Indonesian Statistic Center, in 2016, the national textile industry productivity declined to 7.65%, directly affecting the productivity of textile industries in Surakarta, including PT IT. The weaving department of PT IT experienced the highest decline in work productivity with physical factor exposure more than Threshold Limit Value (TLV), including lighting intensity. This research aimed to analyze the correlation between the light intensity and worker productivity in 2018. This was a quantitative observational analytic research with cross sectional design in PT IT. From 50 workers in the weaving department, 32 were selected as samples through random sampling method. Light intensity was measured using Lux Meter ANA 999 in 32 measurement points. Work productivity was calculated using Productivity formula= Output (O)/ Input (I). Spearman correlation and SPSS program were used for data analysis. The result showed that there was a significant correlation between light intensity and worker’s productivity (p=0.000, r=0.629).
Many factors affect the impaired lung function capacity. One of the dangerous pollutants in the air is the level of dust. Open the irritation of the upper respiratory tract. This study aims to look at the determinants of lung function capacity. The study was conducted at Tirtonadi Bus Station. This study uses an observational design with a cross-sectional design. The population of workers was 54 people after the inclusion and exclusion criteria from the total population. A sample of 50 workers was taken using a random sampling technique. Dust measurement based on SNI 16-7058-2004 uses a low volume sampler and is carried out at 06.00-10.00, 14.00-16.00. The measurement point is carried out at the west and east gates as the highest concentration of pollutants Measurement of lung function capacity using spirometry. Other variables were assessed using a questionnaire and a checklist sheet to determine the characteristics of the study respondents. The results showed significant levels of environmental dust, work area and use of substantial masks with impaired lung function capacity with p-values = 0.003, 0.005 and 0.001. The use of masks during work must be a must for workers to protect from dust exposure which generally comes from motorized vehicles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
