Background: Nearly half of the world's population lives in rural areas
where agriculture is the primary source of livelihood (FAO, 2013).
Many factors affect the health of agricultural workers, and improving
the health of this population will require a variety of approaches.
Farmers can experience various diseases and chronic diseases similar
to the general population; however, there is evidence that they are at
higher risk for acute injuries due to work, certain chronic diseases, and
pesticide diseases.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze the factors causing injury in the
area of Agriculture.
Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional explanatory method.
The variable consists of several factors that cause injury, namely,
vulnerability, threat factors, and ability factors. The population consists
of farmers who are members of farmer groups under the assistance of
the Lumajang District Agriculture Office. The participants were
recruited using multi-step sampling steps with 354 respondents. Data
were collected using a questionnaire, which was then analyzed using
Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) variance base Partial Least
Squares (PLS)
Results: By using the PLS-3 program, the effect of susceptibility factor
on injury events is 0.487, and the effect of susceptibility factor on
injury events through threat factor is 0.107 so that the total impact of
susceptibility factor on injury events is 0.595, the impact of ability
factor on injury events is 0.286. The influence of susceptibility factor
to injury events through the threat factor is 0.063, so the total impact of
the ability factor on injury events is 0, 349. While the threat factor only
increases by 21.9% of injury events. So, it can be concluded that the
vulnerability factor is the highest factor increasing the incidence of
injury by 59.5% compared to other factors.
Conclusion: The development of a injury prevention model can be
done by reducing the vulnerability of farmers by limiting working
hours in agricultural areas, paying attention to nutrition and fluid
intake, controlling accompanying diseases, and facilitating insurance
for farmers. |
