Abstract

Background: Fishing has become a hereditary occupation for the community in Guaeria Village, but they do not have adequate access to healthcare. In fact, they face a hazardous work environment, health issues due to high workloads and the consumption of addictive substances, long working hours, low levels of education, and uncertain income, which all impact their quality of life. The Provincial Health Office also does not yet have data on the health of fishermen. Aim: This study aimed to describe the quality of life of fishermen in Guaeria Village, North Maluku, Indonesia, using the WHOQOL-BREF instrument. Material and methods: This study uses quantitative research using descriptive research design with a cross-sectional design. We conducted total sampling for the technique’s research in Guaeria Village in November 2024, using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire as the data collection technique. Result: The results of the study showed that a significant portion of fishermen (67.5%) reported a poor quality of life. The physiological domain rated 54.5% as fairly poor, while the psychological domain rated 61% as fairly good. The social domain showed (51%) in the fairly good category and (45.5%) in the environmental domain rated fairly poor. Conclusions: The quality of life for fishermen in Guaeria Village is predominantly poor. This parameter is demonstrated by four domains: physiology, psychology, social, and environment in the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire, which exhibit imbalances. Alongside the domains identified in the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire, we also acquired data elucidating the factors contributing to respondents' diminished quality of life, including age, gender, education, work period, income, and asset ownership.
