Abstract EN
This study aimed to investigate the poisoning symptoms occurring in pesticide-exposed farmers.
This study was conducted in a red onion farming center area in Wanasari Subdistrict, Brebes, Indonesia, from May to June 2018.
This study was designed as the descriptive study.
The significance value of p<0.005 showed that the variable was correlated with the health problems, including excessive fatigue (p value = 0.041), excessive saliva (p value = 0.006), hard breathing (p value = 0.021), frequent urination (p value = 0.047), blurred vision (p value = 0.059), dizziness (p value = 0.032), and finger pain (p value = 0.007).
The significance value (p<0.005) of 0.000 showed that the use of personal protective equipment was correlated with the health problems.
Based on the odds ratio value of 1.137, 95% confidence interval = 0.042–0.444 meant that the personal protective equipment was a risk factor of health problems.
The results showed that 89.2% of the farmers who used the personal protective equipment were categorized in the healthy group.
