Abstract

Background. Smoking behavior remains a significant public health concern, particularly in high-risk occupational settings such as coal mining. Coal mine workers are exposed to various occupational stressors and psychological challenges that may contribute to smoking behavior.

Objective. This study aimed identify factors associated with smoking behaviour among coal mine workers at PT X in Kutai Kartanegara regency.

Methodes. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted involving 113 respondents selected from total population workers using convenience sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire assesing smoking behavior, length of employment, and psychological stress levels. The chi-square test was applied to examine associations between variabel at a significance level of 5% (α =0,05).

Results. Length of employment showed no significant association with smoking behavior (p>0.05). however, smoking behavior was significantly linked to psychological stress (p<0.05) with workers experiencing higher stress levels being more likely to smoke. These findings underscore the importance of preventive interventions addressing psychological prevalence in mining workplaces.

Bahasa Abstract

Latar Belakang. Perilaku merokok tetap menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan, terutama di lingkungan kerja berisiko tinggi seperti pertambangan batu bara. Pekerja tambang batu bara menghadapi berbagai stres pekerjaan dan tantangan psikologis yang dapat berkontribusi pada perilaku merokok.

Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor yang berkorelasi dengan perilaku merokok di kalangan pekerja tambang batubara di PT X Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara

Metode. Desain cross-sectional kuantitatif digunakan, melibatkan 113 responden yang dipilih dari total populasi 200 pekerja menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel kenyamanan (convenience). Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner untuk menilai perilaku merokok, lama bekerja, dan tingkat tekanan psikologis. Uji chi-kuadrat digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara variabel dengan tingkat signifikansi 5% (α = 0,05).

Hasil. Hasil menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara lama kerja (p > 0,05) dengan perilaku merokok. Namun, hubungan yang signifikan ditemukan antara tekanan psikologis (p < 0,05) dan perilaku merokok. Pekerja yang mengalami tingkat tekanan psikologis yang lebih tinggi cenderung memiliki kemungkinan merokok yang jauh lebih tinggi. Temuan ini menyoroti perlunya intervensi promotif dan preventif yang mempertimbangkan kondisi psikologis untuk mengurangi prevalensi merokok di lingkungan kerja pertambangan.
