Analysis Factors Associated with Fatigue in Operators of Sugar Factory in Pt.pn VII Cinta Manis 2013

Abstract

Background: Based on previous study (first survey) toward 18 operators of sugar factory in PT.PN VII Cinta Manis found the result that 83,33% operators whose got fatigue. It can make the possibility of accident in work, then to avoid the accident happened it is important to know the factors of fatigue. Method: Used cross sectional design. The sample of research were 63 operators from total number of 138 operators. Statistic test used was Chi square to find out the relationship between independent variable (age, time of work, illness history, nutrient, noisy, temperature, and shift in work) with dependent variable (fatigue) and Regression Logistics test used to find out the main factors of fatigue. Result: The result of statistics test showed that most of the operators got fatigue (71,4%). The result of Chi Square showed that noisiness (p value=0,008), temperature (p value= 0,001), shift work (p value = 0,0480 have connection with fatigue. The result of Chi square also showed that age (p value = 0,599), work experience (p value = 0,535), nutrient status (p value = 1.000), illness history (p value = 0,195), have no connection with fatigue. While, the result of Regression Logistics Test showed that shift work was the main factor that related with fatigue (RP = 11, 900). Conclusion: The variables that related to fatigue were noisiness, temperature, and shift work. The variable that not related to fatigue were age, work experience, nutrient status, and illness history. The factor that most related to fatigue was shift work
