Factors Associated with Subjective Work Fatigue in Gas Station Pump Attendants

Abstract

The Padang-Solok route is the busiest causeway in West Sumatra. Has 3 Gas Stations with high traffic. Based on a preliminary study, 66.6% of Gas Station pump workers experience severe work fatigue. The study aimed to determine the relationship between factors and fatigue at Gas Station pump workers. This type of quantitative research uses a cross-sectional approach from February to August 2023. The population and sample are 42 people using the total sampling method. The research instruments were questionnaires, scales, stadiometers, and WBGT. Primary and secondary data collection. Univariate and bivariate data processing with the Chi-Square test with a degree of confidence of 95% (α = 0.05. The results showed that 59.5% of respondents experienced severe fatigue, 16.7% were old, 42.9% were female, 33.3% had abnormal BMI, 21.4% had long working hours, 35.7% worked at high temperatures, and 59.5% had poor sleep quality. The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between gender (p- p-value=0.002), nutritional status/BMI (p-value=0.005), sleep quality (p-value=0.020), and work fatigue. There is no significant relationship between age (p-value=0.210), years of service (p-value=0.60), and ambient temperature (p-value=0.708) with work fatigue. There is a relationship between gender, nutritional status/BMI, and sleep quality with work fatigue among pump workers. It is recommended that Gas Stations complete rest facilities and provide drinking water and chairs in the pumping machine unit.
