Pengaruh Iklim Kerja terhadap Tekanan Darah Pekerja di Bagian Produksi PT. INALUM tahun 2014
ABSTRAK
Salah satu kondisi lingkungan kerja yang dapat menimbulkan gangguan
kesehatan bagi pekerjanya adalah paparan panas yang ekstrim. Iklim kerja yang panas
atau dapat menyebabkan beban tambahan pada sirkulasi darah sehingga dapat
mempengaruhi tekanan darah. PT. Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (INALUM) Kuala
Tanjung merupakan perusahaan pabrik peleburan alumunium dengan kapasitas
terpasang 225.000 ton aluminium pertahun. Dalam melakukan kegiatan proses
produksinya menghasilkan iklim panas dari tungku yang berpotensi untuk
menimbulkan dampak terhadap tekanan darah.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Pengaruh Iklim Kerja terhadap
Tekanan Darah Pekerja di Bagian Produksi di PT. INALUM. Penelitian ini
menggunakan desain penelitian cross–sectional yang bertujuan untuk menjelaskan
pengaruh antara variabel-variabel melalui pengujian hipotesis, yaitu menganalisis
pengaruh iklim kerja terhadap tekanan darah pekerja di bagian produksi di PT.
INALUM Tahun 2014 dengan menggunakan analisis Multivariat dengan
pemeriksaan ISBB menggunakan peralatan untuk pengukuran ISBB yang dimiliki
oleh laboratorium PT. INALUM, pemeriksaan tekanan darah menggunakan tensi
meter serta wawancara menggunakan kuesioner terhadap 66 responden yang dipilih
secara total sampling.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada pengaruh signifikan antara iklim kerja serta
variabel lain seperti umur, masa kerja, status gizi, kebiasaan minum air putih dan
kebiasaan buang air kecil terhadap tekanan darah pekerja di bagian produksi di PT.
Inalum. Variabel yang paling berpengaruh terhadap tekanan darah pekerja di bagian
produksi di PT. INALUM adalah iklim kerja (ISBB) dan status gizi
Sebaiknya para pekerja mengkonsumsi makanan yang mengandung zat gizi
seimbang dan sesering mungkin meminum air untuk menggantikan cairan tubuh yang
hilang selama bekerja dan istirahat yang cukup.

ABSTRACT
One of the working environment conditions which cause employees’ health
problem is extreme heat exposure. Hot working climate can cause additional burden
in blood circulation which will eventually cause blood pressure. PT. Indonesia
Asahan Aluminium (INALUM) Kuala Tanjung is smelter company with an installed
capacity of 225,000 tonnes of aluminium per year. In conducting the production
process generates heat climate from the stove that potential to have an impact on
blood pressure.
The objective of the research was to find out the influence of work climate on
employees’ blood pressure in the Production department of PT. INALUM. The
research used cross sectional design which was aimed to explain the influence among
the variables through hypothesis by analyzing the influence of work climate on
employees’ blood pressure in the Production department of PT. INALUM, in 2014.
The data were analyzed by using multivariate analysis with ISBB examination, using
the equipment for ISBB measurement that owned by the laboratory of PT. INALUM.
Blood pressure was done by using sphygmomanometer and interviews and
questionnaires with 66 respondents, selected by total sampling technique.
The result of the research showed that there was significant influence of work
climate and other variables such as age, length of service, nutrition status, habit of
drinking plain water, and frequently urinate on employees’ blood pressure in the
Production department of PT. INALUM. The variables which had the most dominant
influence on employees’ blood pressure in the Production department of PT.
INALUM were work climate and nutrition status.
It is recommended that employees consume balanced nutritious food and
frequently drink plain water to change body liquid which is lost during work, and
take enough rest.
