Abstract

Abortus is secretion of the conception before being able to live outside the womb with weight less than 1000 grams or gestational age less than 20 weeks. The risk factors for the miscarriage occurrence are encountered in PT.X workers which located in Sidoarjo district, including the existence of company regulations to apply shift work for workers and workers’ perceptions about their work environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of job risk factors such as working hours, work shifts, and work environment factors such as noise, temperature, and vibration with the occurrence of abortus in female workers at PT. X Sidoarjo District. The design of this study was cross sectional with observational study type. The respondents of this study were female workers with total of 192 people. The independent variables of this research were work factors and work environment factors. The dependent variable in this study was the incidence of abortus in female workers. A total 28.64% of the respondents had experienced abortus. Logistic regression analysis found that there was a significant correlation between work shift and abortus incidence (p = 0.020) and between exposure of the machine-induced vibration and abortus occurrence (p = 0.006). We recommended for the company to make a schedule regulation about the work shift and taking routine enviromental measurements, sothe risk of abortion occurrence in female workers due to occupational factors and work environment can be minimized.
