Abstract

Background: Pesticides can poison users if they do not follow pesticide use standards. This is because the active substances in these pesticide products can cause acute pain. Objective: The study aimed to identify the factors of safe behavior in using pesticides in farmers. Methods: This study employed a scoping review method. The literature search was carried out on the indexed databases of Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Free Medical Journals, and ProQuest in English. There were 450 research articles, and 15 met the inclusion criteria. From the 15 journals, information was collected from the publication year 2015-2021, article titles, design, population, interventions, and results. Relevant study articles related to the topics were qualitatively analyzed using NVIVO-12 Plus. Results: The analysis showed that knowledge, safe behavior of using pesticides, farmers' education, and personal protective equipment are the dominant factors influencing the safe behavior of using pesticides on farmers. Conclusion: Farmers who do not comply with safe behavior will have a higher health risk because of the toxicity of pesticides that can be directly inhaled and enter through the pores of the farmers’ skin.

Abstract

Occupational noise, particularly from industrial machinery and equipment, is a potential risk factor for elevated blood pressure. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between noise intensity and blood pressure changes among workers in the GCS department of PT. Pertamina EP Asset 1 Pangkalan Susu Field. All workers in five GCS units (n=30) participated. Noise intensity was measured using a sound level meter, and blood pressure was measured before and after work. Data analysis employed chi-square and paired t-tests with a significance level of 5%. Results showed no significant association between noise intensity and systolic blood pressure increase (p=0.317). However, a significant relationship was found between noise intensity and diastolic blood pressure increase (p=0.001). It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after work. Although noise intensity does not directly affect systolic blood pressure, it has a significant impact on increasing diastolic blood pressure.
