Abstract

Snake bites are the one that causes high rates of morbidity and mortality among workers in the agricultural sector. Snake bites can be a medical emergency that can endanger human life, and snake venom can damage local tissues, resulting in permanent disability and amputation. This study aims to identify farmers' knowledge related to snakebite management. A literature review searched three databases, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, for all study designs between 2019 and 2023. The researcher found ten studies that met the inclusion criteria in the review. The high risk of snake bites for farmers makes it essential for farmers to know the most critical things in snakebite management. When bitten by a snake, the most important thing to do is first aid treatment in a threatening situation. Some factors that can affect the management of snake bites on farmers are the characteristics of farmers who are usually male with a low educational background and level of knowledge. In addition, low experience will affect the ability to handle first aid. Nurses can be present as extension workers to increase farmers' knowledge about first aid for snake bites to farmers.

Abstract

As a country with a tropical climate with high humidity, relatively high air temperature, and hot solar radiation, it can disrupt the psychological and social conditions of field workers such as farmers. Farmers have a higher risk due to their work activities under the hot sun, which has a dangerous UV index. In addition, the lack of understanding of the factors and how to prevent farmers from being exposed to UV light has caused many cases of farmers getting diseases such as heatstroke, cataracts, and skin cancer due to exposure to UV rays. This study aims to know the risk factors for the dangers of UV light and the use of PPE for agricultural workers and workers in outdoor environments. This study used the literature review method. The search was based on three databases, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar, with the last five years of publication (2019-2023). Workers who do a lot of outdoor activities, such as farmers, have a higher risk of developing skin cancer due to the scorching sun with a harmful UV index. One of the risk factors for skin cancer in agricultural workers is exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and heat. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is also a risk factor for skin cancer, heatstroke, and cataracts in agricultural and outdoor workers. In addition, hazardous equipment can also be another risk factor for cancer in farm workers. Agricultural workers and workers outside the field must know how to maintain their health by using shade seeking, using PPE, and using sunscreen from the dangers of UV rays so that they do not experience skin cancer, heatstroke, and cataracts.
