Abstract

The study analyzed the relationship between the dependent variable (respiratory complaints) and the independent variables (worker characteristics, occupational characteristics, exposure intensity, and prevention of respiratory disorders) in paraquat sprayers in oil palm plantations in Kalimantan in 2022. The study design was a cross-sectional, analytical-descriptive quantitative study using a questionnaire instrument conducted online from August to October 2022. The total sample is 189 worker respondents and ten management respondents. The bivariate analysis was Chi-Square 2x2 for variables with p
