Hubungan kadar hemoglobin dan tekanan darah dengan kelelahan kerja pada pekerja pembuat Bolu kelapa di UMKM “Desa Prima Gumregah” Kalurahan Putat, Kecamatan Patuk, Gunungkidul

Abstract

Background: The informal sector plays an important role in the national economy; however, workers in this sector often operate under conditions that pay limited attention to occupational health and safety aspects. Coconut cake production workers at the MSME “Desa Prima Gumregah” perform repetitive physical activities, work in a hot environment, and have limited rest periods. These conditions may lead to work-related fatigue, which can be influenced by internal factors, particularly health status such as hemoglobin levels and blood pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to examine whether these physiological factors are associated with work fatigue among informal sector workers. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between hemoglobin levels and blood pressure with work-related fatigue among coconut cake production workers at the MSME “Desa Prima Gumregah,” Putat Village, Patuk District, Gunungkidul Regency. Methods: This study employed a quantitative research approach with an analytical observational design using a retrospective method. The study population consisted of all female workers producing coconut sponge cakes, with a total sample of 48 respondents selected through a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The bivariate analysis was conducted using Fisher’s Exact Test. Results: The results of the bivariate analysis indicated that there was no significant association between hemoglobin levels and work fatigue (p-value = 1.000). In addition, no significant association was found between blood pressure and work fatigue (p-value = 0.692). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between hemoglobin levels and blood pressure with work-related fatigue among coconut cake production workers at the MSME “Desa Prima Gumregah.”
