FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KEJADIAN DERMATITIS KONTAK PEKERJA INDUSTRI TEKSTIL ”X” DI JEPARA
Abstract: The background
of this research
is the fact
that workers in the
textile industry largely
does not use
personal protective equipment,
during working hours but
they are always
exposed to dyestuffs
and color placard substances known that these
substances can dissolve the fat under the skin surface so the skin becomes dry,
cracked and could even occur vesicles. If the exposure occurred in
a long time,
the skin may
occur thickening (lichenification) or substances can
follow the path
into the lymph
vessels throughout the
body and can cause
disturbances in systim
hormonal and genetic
defects resulting in sterility. The purpose of this research is
to obtain the relationship between age, years of working period and the use of
PPE on the incidence of contact dermatitis in the textile industry in Jepara
Troso. Method:It was an observational
research using cross sectional
design. The subjects
were selected using
purposive sampling. The collected
data was analyzed
using Spearman Rank
test. Result:This research showed
that there was highly significant relationship between the duration of work
with contact dermatitis incidence (p = 0.038) and there is also a highly significant
relationship between age of workers
with contact dermatitis incidence (p
= 0.025), whereas
for longer exposure
there was no
significantcorrelation with the
number of contact
dermatitis incidence (p
= 0.476). Conclusion: The duration
of working likely
had a strong
association with the incidence of contact dermatitis. So, it
was suggested to all workers for washing hands
and feet carefully,
especially in the
folds of the
hands and feet
for the remaining dyes
or substances, in
other that contact
dermatitis cases can be
prevented.
