Abstract

Tobacco farmers in Indonesia are the largest number in ASEAN amounted to 527,688 people. From this number, most of the farmers are in East Java that is amounted to 301,867 people. The purpose of this study is to analyze the incidence of dermatoses cases due to work on tobacco farmers and the affecting factors. This research employed the observational technique and it was conducting at the time when the tobacco farmers were harvesting their plantation product. The population and sample of this research were taken from one village. 46 people were recruited to be the sample of this research. The variables studied include independent variables (respondent characteristics and behavioral use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and personal hygiene) while dependent variables (Occupational dermatoses skin disorder). The prevalence of OD in a hamlet which is one of the areas for tobacco farming amounted to 13.04%. female experienced more Occupational dermatoses (16.7%) when compared with men. Tobacco farmers with more smoking behavior experienced more OD (13.3%). Tobacco farmers who encountered OD and positive cotinine content were 18.5%. When compared to tobacco farmers who experience OD, the positive cotinine is 83.3%. The conclusion is that Tobacco Farmers may be exposed to occupational dermatoses. The cause is because in the process of working they not only plant and pick tobacco leaves but also process the drying and packing up to the storage. The incidence of OD is related to smoking history, duration of work, occupational status of cotinine content and use of APD.
