Abstract

The informal sector is a sector that is not organized, non-formal and not incorporated, so that its occupational health has not received optimal attention. More than 60% of Indonesia's total population lives in coastal areas with most of the livelihoods as fishermen. The activities of fishermen at sea have a considerable risk, so fishermen are vulnerable to being faced with changing sea conditions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of work accidents in fishing groups in Fatubesi Village, Kupang City. Methods: This study used a cross sectional quantitative approach. The population was fishermen in Fatubesi village, Kupang City and sampling using simple random sampling technique as many as 89 respondents. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square techniques. Results: the results showed that there was a significant relationship between worker motivation and work accidents (p-value 0.002 < 0.05), skill variables with work accidents (P-value 0.000 < 0.05), and unsafe action relationships with work accidents (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). While there is no relationship between the knowledge variable and the Work Accident variable (p-value 0.221 > 0.05), and there is no influence of the Unsafe Environmental Conditions variable on the Work Accident variable, (p-value 0.447 > 0.05) Conclusion: Work accidents are a multifactor interaction that is a reflection of management. The scope of informal workers such as unorganized fishermen needs to consider the role of the government to be able to assist regulations related to occupational accident risk management. There needs to be a shift in the approach to preventing occupational accidents to improve the skills of fishermen, increase safety culture, and improve safety governance.

Abstract

Background: The informal sector, characterized by its lack of structure, formality, and legal recognition, often receives inadequate attention regarding occupational health. In Indonesia, over 60% of the population resides in coastal areas, with the majority working as fishermen. Due to the inherently high-risk nature of fishing at sea, fishermen are frequently exposed to unpredictable ocean conditions, making them susceptible to various work-related health issues, including musculoskeletal disorders, dermatitis, keratopathy, and barotrauma. Purpose: To investigate the factors linked to the occurrence of occupational diseases among fishermen. Method: A descriptive correlational, specially focusing on cross-sectional method. The study took place in December 2024 in Kupang City. The independent variable was knowledge, duration of work, unsafe behaviors, and unsafe working conditions. The dependent variable included the incidence of occupational diseases. Using random sampling and Lameshow formula 89 respondents were selected who meet specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis proceeded with a univariate test to determine the frequency distribution of respondent’s characteristics, followed by bivariate analysis using chi-square test. Results: The study found significant associations between length of work and occupational diseases (p = 0.011), and between behavior and occupational diseases (p = 0.001), while knowledge and environmental conditions showed no significant effects. Conclusion: Occupational diseases result from multifactorial determinants, including exposure duration, behavior, and environmental conditions. For informal workers such as fishermen, government involvement in risk management and safety governance is essential. Preventive measures should focus on skill development, occupational safety culture, proper use of protective equipment, health education, and access to health insurance.
