Abstract

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) a disorder that cause damage to tissues, muscles, joints, nerves, and bones due to unergonomic working attitudes. Unergonomic work attitudes are often observed among sewing workers. One of the complaints of MSD, low back pain, occupies the highest position in the Gresik Regency in 2023. Sack-sewing workers perform sewing standing; therefore, they often experience leg pain. This study aimed to describe the risk factors for MSD in sack sewing workers in the Duduk Sampeyan District in the production section using a total sampling technique of 39 workers. This type of research uses observational descriptive and descriptive analysis to determine the RR value. Data was obtained from interviews and observations of work posture. The instruments used were Nordic Body Map, Rapid Entire Body Assessment, and %CVL. The results of this study showed that the highest level of pain experienced by workers was in the left leg. The work period showed a tendency towards MSD complaints with a p-value 0.00 and RR 5.8, which means that a working period of > 5 years are 5.8 times more likely to experience MSD than workers with a working period of ≤ 5 years. Although the work posture was not significant, it was in the medium and high categories. Recommendations that can be given are to adjust the height of the sewing table to the worker's anthropometry, stretch during breaks, especially the legs, and form an Occupational Health Post in Duduk Sampeyan District.

Abstract

Introduction: Introduction: Coastal women have a large role in fishing households by carrying out fish processing work. The facts show that fish processing work carried out without paying attention to ergonomic factors is vulnerable to LBP complaints. This study aims to analyze LBP complaints among women processing fish. Methods: This type of research is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and face-to-face interviews with 110 respondents to collect social demographics, job factors, history of LBP, and LBP complaints. Other primary data is measuring workers' nutritional status, repetitive movements, and physical workload. A logistic regression test was carried out to analyze the relationship between each independent variable and LBP complaints. Results: Occupational factors related to LBP were slipping on slippery floors (aOR = 6.62; 95% CI: 1.88, 23.27), squatting (aOR = 0.62; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.89), static posture (aOR = 1.22; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.47), and repetitive movements (aOR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.63, 0.97). The history of LBP that significantly increased LBP was the frequency of occasional pain (aOR = 6.27; 95% CI: 1.47, 26.62), and absenteeism (ORs = 2.80; 95% CI: 1.10, 7.07). Conclusion: There is a relationship between age, years of work, having another job, incidents of slipping while working, squatting, static postures, repetitive movements, frequency of pain, and absenteeism with complaints of LBP. LBP experienced by women fish processors is a serious problem that requires ergonomic evaluation and work area design control. Occupational factors significantly worsen the occurrence of LBP.
