Abstract:
Work fatigue is still prevalent both in the world and Indonesia. International Labour Organization (ILO) data in 2016 shows that 32% of workers in the world experience work fatigue. Workers with more nutritional status and long working period feel headaches, fatigue all over the body, anxiety, legs in the shoulders and back pain during work. This condition is a symptom of work fatigue. This study included quantitative research with an analytical observational type of research. The research design used was cross sectional. The population of this study was all workers of line V production unit at PT X with a total sample of 34 people. The results showed that 26.47% of workers experienced mild work fatigue, 61.77% of workers experienced moderate work fatigue and 11.76% of workers experienced severe work fatigue. There is a significant relationship between working time and work fatigue with a p-value of 0.000 with a value of r = 0.752 which shows a strong correlation. In addition, there is also a significant relationship between nutritional status and work fatigue with a p-value of 0.009 with a value of r = 0.443 which shows a weak correlation. There is a relationship between the variables of working time and nutritional status with work fatigue. Companies are expected to rotate work by paying attention to the length of work and nutritional status of workers, so as to minimize the occurrence of work fatigue.
