Abstract

Introduction: Occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is a non-contagious skin problem caused by exposure to allergens and irritants in the workplace. While not life-threatening, it impacts quality of life and causes discomfort. Sugarcane farmers are particularly at risk due to exposure to fine hairs from sugarcane and chemical fertilizers. Predisposing factors, such as a history of atopy, can increase susceptibility to OCD. Method: The study used an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was sugarcane farmers in Pakisjajar Village, Malang Regency, with a sample size of 60 people using the total sampling method. Data analysis using a questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS using a logistic regression statistical test. Result: The logistic regression test showed a significance value of 0.009 (<0.05), indicating that atopic history significantly influences OCD. An Exp(B) value of 5.412 suggests that increase in atopic history raises the likelihood of OCD by 5.412 times. The R Square value of 0.174 (17.4%) indicates that atopic history accounts for 17.4% of the variance in OCD, with the remainder influenced by other factors. Conclusion: There is an effect of atopic history on the incidence of DKAK in sugarcane farmers.
