Abstract

Improper lighting that is not according the standards may result in health problems, one of which is eyestrain, a visual disturbance. Eyestrain is one result of improper lighting that is not according to standards. In addition, the characteristics of workers also play a role in the occurrence of eyestrain. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the lighting in a workplace and the characteristics of workers with complaints of eyestrain in embroidery tailors at CV "X" Bangil, Pasuruan. This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional study design. The research population was all embroidery tailors in CV "X" Bangil, Pasuruan, as many as 122 workers. The research sample was taken using the Simple Random Sampling method, and 55 workers were obtained. The data were collected by measuring the workplace lighting using a luxmeter measuring instrument. The research instrument used were observation sheets and questionnaires. The data analysis was done by using the Fisher's Exact Test. The results of lighting measurements indicate that the intensity of illumination both general and local is still below the Standard Value. The poor quality of lighting is indicated by most workers who experienced glare, shadow disturbances, and improper workplace decorations. The results of the statistical test show that the p value of all variables > α (0.05). There is a significant relationship between the lighting in a workplace and the characteristics of workers with eyestrain. CV "X" needs to schedule a maintenance and cleaning for lights, armatures, wall windows, floors and work desks. In addition, it is necessary to increase the intensity of lighting in the workplace.
