Analysis of Heat Pressure with Systolic-Diastolic Blood Pressure and Fatigue in Karak Industrial Workers Gadingan Sukoharjo

Abstract

The Karak industry is a food processing industry that has the potential danger of heat stress. Heat pressure can cause workers to experience health problems, especially if peripheral blood vessel dilatation causes circulatory disorders and can also cause fatigue. The aim of this study to analyze the heat pressure with blood pressure and fatigue in Karak industrial worker. This type of research is observational analytic, cross-sectional design with purposive sampling consist of 106 respondents. Test statistical data of research with Spearman Correlation. The Karak industry workplace has a WetBulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) 34oC in 8 hours/day with mild workloads. The significance of the relationship between heat pressure and systolic-diastolic blood pressure about p = 0.034 and p = 0.031; the value of r = -0,338 and r = -0,358 which means the strength of the correlation is weak. And the significance of heat pressure with fatigue is p-value = 0.039 and r = -0.581 (the strength of the medium correlation). There was a correlation between heat pressure and systolic-diastolic blood pressure and fatigue in Karak industrial workers Gadingan Sukoharjo.
