Abstract

The risk factors for high blood pressure are industrial noise exposure, age, body mass index, and length of exposure to noise. Exposure to noise is often found in industrial workers. Therefore, workers are at increased risk for high blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association of noise level, age, body mass index, and length of exposure to noise with blood pressure on textile industryworkers. This study was observational research with cross sectional design. The population were textile industry workers in Surakarta. The sample selection used purposive random sampling. Inclusion criterias were women, length of working at least one year, less disciplined use ear protection equipment.The total samples were 245 peoples.Statistical analysis used bivariate correlations and multiple linear regression. There was an association between all variables with blood pressure.However, on multiple linear regression test, length of exposure to noiseexclused. Variables that associated with systolic blood pressure were the noise level (p=0.026), age (p=0.002), body mass index (p=000). Variables thatassociated with diastolic blood pressure were the noise level (p=0.011), age (p=0.15), body mass index (p=0.000). The risk factors for high blood pressure among industrial worker are the noise level, age, and body mass index. Keyword: blood pressure, textile industry workers

Abstract

Background: Weaving workers are exposed to noise exceeding the Threshold Limit Value (TLV), putting them at risk of noise-induced hearing loss. Egg trays and cotton fabric have noise absorption capabilities. These materials have potential as eco-friendly noise dampening materials in earmuffs.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of using cotton fabric-lined egg trays in earmuffs on noise-induced hearing loss among workers.Methods: The effectiveness of earmuffs was tested through a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest approaches in intervention and control groups with 82 respondents. Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) was measured through audiometric examination of both ears. Data were analyzed using Somers'd, Marginal Homogeneity, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.Results: The modified earmuffs were able to reduce noise by up to 34 dB with an effective NRR of 20.25 dB. The experimental group experienced a significant decrease in NIHL (p=0.000), while the control group experienced an increase in NIHL. Age and length of employment had significant effects (p<0.05). There was a significant posttest difference between the experimental and control groups (p=0.008).Conclusion: Modified earmuffs containing cotton fabric-lined egg trays proved effective in reducing noise. The use of earmuffs by workers reduced the risk of Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).
