Work Fatigue Among Port Operational Workers: Analysis of Contributing Determinant Factor

Abstract

Introduction: Humans work to meet the needs of daily life, often they ignore the fatigue experienced by the body due to work. The purpose of this study is to see the influence of age, length of service, physical workload, nutritional status, work shift, job stress, noise and lighting on work fatigue in operational workers at the Port.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to see the influence of age, length of service, physical workload, nutritional status, work shift, job stress, noise and lighting on work fatigue in operational workers at the port.
Methods: The type of research used in this study is observational analysis using a cross sectional study design. This research was carried out for 60 days, with a total sample of 150 samples
Results: Results: Based on the results of the partial regression coefficient test, it was found that the significant values in the work shift variable were 0.006, the age variable was 0.008, the length of service variable was 0.023, the workload variable was 0.030, the lighting variable was 0.374 and the job stress variable was 0.931. Meanwhile, the BMI and noise variables could not be tested because they did not have a significant relationship in the bivariate analysis.
Conclusions: The variables of work shift, age, length of service and workload partially affected work fatigue significantly. While other variables partially have a small influence on work fatigue.
